Geck... Geck... Geck...
Someone knocked on Andre's room door, Andre who had just finished bathing and was about to lay his body on the mattress gasped and with heavy steps he headed for the door to open the door of his room.
"Have you slept, son?" ask Andre's mother who knocked on the door.
"What's wrong? I just wanted to sleep, I'm tired." said Andre ketus.
"May I talk to you for a second?" ask Andre's mother.
Andre opened the door wider and let his mother into the room, actually he was really tired to serve his mother discuss the matchmaking problem that he did not like at all.
"You must be very angry with me, right?" ask Andre's mother.
Andre just silently did not answer his mother's words, from the expression of his face everyone would know if at this time he was very upset.
"Mother is doing this all for your good, son, so that your future is more awake later. I'm worried that if you stay abroad like this and no one will take care of you later" said Andre's mother.
"Mother has said it a dozen times, to the point that I memorized it with mother's words. But my answer remains the same, even my answer that is always the same cannot penetrate the recesses of the mother's heart." said Andre in an upset tone.
"So then, why don't you just obey instead of us having to keep arguing?" ask Andre's mother again.
"Mom, if you don't like something, do you want to be forced to like it?" ask Andre.
Andre's mother was silent not to answer his son's question, everyone would not like to do what they do not like.
"But at least you should also try to open your heart with Ratih, I'm sure he's the best match for you" Andre's mother insisted.
"It's enough Mom, I don't want to be stamped as an ungodly child for always fighting with mom. We had an agreement, and mom couldn't force me more than that. I remind you again, the mother who must open her eyes and heart to see the side of Lucy's kindness." said Andre.
"But he is different from us, son, you know that we who are Muslims should not marry someone who is not a Muslim as well" said Andre's mother asserted.
Andre was silent to his mother's words, what his mother said was actually the right thing. It is also recorded in the Quran.
QS. AL BAQARAH 2:221
"And do not marry a polytheist woman before they believe. Indeed, the believing servant of a woman is better than the idolater, even though she draws your heart. And do not marry (men) idolaters (with believing women) before they believe".
"What if she were to convert to Islam mother would bless me?" andre asked suddenly.
"Are you sure he'll get into our teachings? He alone can leave his God what else with me who is just an ordinary man?" ask Andre's mother again.
"My question is whether you can accept it or not?" ask Andre firmly.
Andre's mother was speechless to hear his son's words, a serious look on Andre's face at this time.
"Alright then, it's up to you. I'm just reminding you, but if he really wants to follow our teachings I'll think about it." Andre's mother stood up and walked out of Andre's room.
Andre closed the door of his room and laid his body on the bed, he closed his eyes while thinking of all the words that came out of his mouth. Now he is confused as to how he should talk to Lucy.
