Reaching the Moon
Chapter 24
The soul mate is like a butterfly, the more it is pursued the further away, but if we submit it to the Creator, then by His permission, the butterfly will approach itself.
As the story of Zulaikha who so admired the Prophet Yusuf 'alaihissalam, when he was so trying to pursue the love of the Prophet Joseph, God further distanced the Prophet Joseph from him. However, when Zulaikha repented, turned to Allah, and pursued the love of Allah, Allah brought Joseph to him.
That principle is now held by Nizam. He wants to focus on improving himself, strengthening himself, until when the time comes, then whoever his soul mate, he will try to be a good priest.
"Zam, how? You agree, will Nizwa and Arfan's wedding be held in the next two months?" tanya Boy breaks Nizam's daydream.
"Why is the distance so long, Dad?"
"Let the preparation be even better, son," replied Boy.
"Perhaps during those two months you find your brother a mate, the marriage can be together," chirped Nizwa and immediately got a hard-to-read look from Nizam.
"Huss, watch your words, son, you could have offended your brother" Khaira said in a whisper.
"Indeed, if you just talk, many think that the choice of marriage for men is easier than women. The reason is because men are looking while women wait, although actually women can also find and choose as did the mother of Siti Khadijah." Nizam stopped his words for a moment.
"However, finding a good wife and mother-to-be for our children will not be as easy as choosing clothes in the market. Not only limited to love or love because as men, we are encouraged to educate our children twenty years before our children are born, one of them by choosing who the mother is. If until now I have not had a future wife, it does not mean that I refuse to run the sunnah or I have fallen in the past, I just have not found the appropriate one," continued Nizam with a smile.
"Sorry, Brother. Nizwa spoke without thinking." Nizwa is now bowed with guilt to her brother.
"It's okay, Deck. I hope you can be a good wife and mother to your husband and children. And for you, Fan." Nizam now turned to Arfan, "keep my sister well, even though she sounds chatty, she is actually very spoiled" he continued, patting Arfan's shoulder slowly.
His eyes were a little misty, but his heart was so happy. Although he had to accept the fact that his sister was married before him, but that was not a problem at all, even getting married was not a sin.
An agreement was finally reached, where the marriage of the younger brother is now advanced to one month ahead on the advice of Nizam, as the eldest brother who has his own reasons.

Elsewhere, somewhere else,
Two women were walking into a luxurious house. One of them was holding a baby boy who had called him with a typical baby voice that was so adorable.
"Moon, tomorrow I will see the development of my clinic, I will also go directly to one of the PBFs in this city to see the continuation of the cooperation plan related to the provision of medicines in my clinic pharmacy later. Yeah, I'll probably be outside for almost a whole day. So, as usual, I picked Quinzy up" said a hijab-wearing adult woman as she sat on the sofa.
"Well, Miss Syifa. Ready," said the Moon while holding a baby named Quinzy.
Syifa smiled with relief while leaning her body on the back of the sofa, her gaze now turned to look at the ceiling of the room decorated by beautiful crystal lights.
"Thank you, yeah, the Moon. Your presence really managed to make me rise again after falling down because my husband died. I don't know what would have happened to me if you hadn't come to prevent me from killing myself. Maybe Quinzy's been an orphan." Syifa looked at the little baby who was in the sling of the Moon with teary eyes.
"Don't talk that way, Ma'am. Everything that happens in this world has never escaped the control of the Creator of the Technario, Allah, Ma'am. Allah loves Sister Syifa, so Allah gave the opportunity for Ms. Syifa to improve herself and accompany Quinzy," said Moon smiled.
Syifa now signals the Moon to bring Quinzy to her. The woman then hugged the baby tightly, then she pulled the Moon and hugged her too.
"Moon, if there's anything you want, just say it, yeah. Don't hesitate, I already consider you like my own sister. I'll also try to help you find your sister, Star."
"Really, Ma'am?" tanya Moon was so excited.
Syifa nodded softly and said, "Of course, as long as it can make you happy."

The next day, in a PBF called Malaga, Nizam was sitting in his room with Arfan and also a hijab woman who still looked beautiful despite her age more mature than Nizam.
Instead of denying, the woman was silent looking at the face of Nizam who was so handsome in his eyes.
"Mom Syifa? Are you okay?" tanya Nizam broke the woman's daydream.
"Astaghfirullah, sorry, Mr. Nizam." Syifa smiled awkwardly. "Thank you, sir" said the woman, but as usual, Nizam cupped his hands together in front of his chest.
"Ah, sorry." Syifa pulled back her hand and cupped her hands together. "Oh yes, sir. Insha Allah next week I will inaugurate the opening of my clinic, if you can attend with your wife," continued Syifa invite and verify the status of the man indirectly.
"I'm sorry, I'm not married, Miss Syifa," Nizam replied.
A faint smile rose on both lips accompanied by a small nod from the woman. "Oh so, sorry. Then I say goodbye first, Mr. Nizam. Assalamu 'alaikum," said Syifa then immediately resigned.

Time passed by so quickly, a week had now passed. Nizam will attend the inauguration of Syifa Clinic with Arfan. The man stood in front of the mirror while fixing his tie.
Tok tok tok tok
"Sir Nizam, Bang Arfan has been waiting below, tuh," said Nizwa from outside the room.
"Yes bertaar again, you just a candidate for your mission to be more patient waiting for brother," said Nizam relaxed.
"Huh, what the fuck, anyway! If it's not halal, don't be alone first" replied Nizwa a little slowly so as not to be heard by Arfan who was in the living room.
Chequelek
The room door suddenly opened and displayed the figure of a handsome man in a neat suit in front of him. "Smart girl." Nizam rubbed the head of the brother covered in a veil while smiling.
"Wih, handsome really, hopefully there to meet the future wife, well, sister, run away," said Nizwa, then quickly ran away from Nizam.
"Ckckck I didn't expect the leak to get married soon." Nizam smiled as he shook his head slowly looking at the sister who had now disappeared behind the door of his room.
Nizam and Arfan now go together to Syifa Clinic, where there are so many guests who come. The series of events one by one were passed, until they arrived at the last event where invited artists began to give religious song performances.
Nizam's view that initially focused on the singer now turned to a figure of a hijab woman who was at the front desk.
"Month."
Unknowingly, the man's footsteps led him to step closer to being right behind the woman.

Note:
PBF or Big Trade in Pharmacy is a company that has a license to procure, store, or distribute drugs in large quantities in accordance with the provisions of applicable laws.
As explained earlier that Nizam runs a subsidiary of the grandfather who is engaged in the distribution of drugs, his name is Malaga (in Toraja, Enrekang, Enrekang, and part of Luwu in South Sulawesi) which means healthy.
While waiting for the next episode, yuk stopped by my friend's novel first.
