Mirza fed Anjeli until the food was gone. Actually Anjeli does not want to eat. But she appreciated her husband who cared so much for her. She did not want to waste the food her husband had bought. Given that they are currently in a difficult situation. So Anjeli tried not to waste food even though the nausea was so torturous.
"Mas Mirza why stay quiet? why don't you eat?"
"It's okay, An. I just feel guilty about you. When you're pregnant, I can't give you a life worth living."
"Here you go, don't say it like that. What I give now is more than enough for me. Like I said yesterday, we're still much luckier to be able to live in a house like this and not get lost in the street. We have to remember so many people below us. Which is not as lucky as us."
"Yes you are right Anjeli. Thank you for reminding me."
"Yes already then now Mas Mirza eat yes. Or do I want a bribe?"
"No need, An. I can eat by myself. You rest there."
"Feed out keep sleeping Mas? I'm alone while accompanying Mas Mirza to eat."
"All right then."
Mirza slowly finished her meal. Although it does not taste good, but he must stay healthy so that he can take care of Anjeli well. The baby and their baby-to-be need it most at this time.
"Sorry, by the way what is Mas Mirza's plan after this? "
"Looks like I'm gonna open the motorcycle wash first, An. Tomorrow I will find the right and strategic location to open my business. I really need to think about it well. Do not let this little capital stay, just drift because I took the wrong opportunity. What I need right now is an effort that every day can make money. There are people who wash their bikes every day, right? So I guess the motorcycle wash is great for us right now. Later if this effort can develop, I will develop it even bigger. Become a car wash. But now it is important that we have income every day. To meet our needs every day."
"Yes, I agree. The business of Mas Mirza is beyond doubt. God willing there will be a way."
"Actually I want to open the car wash as well An. But I was worried that the capital would not be enough. yesterday I had thought to borrow money in the bank with this home certificate. What say?"
"Don't Mas. Never get in touch with usury. We are grateful for what we have. God willing it will be more blessed. It doesn't matter if you start small. The important thing is not to mix our capital with usury dust. What is there is a business Mas not growing but even falling later. A lot of my parents are on campus like that. And after I asked the problem on average is that they borrow money from the bank to increase their capital."
"But my late father also borrowed money from the bank, but he was successful."
"It could be that it is istidraj Mas. That is a trap in the form of spaciousness Rizki even though the person performs maksiat continuously. God clearly forbids usury. But if a servant eats usury, but he continues to be given a spaciousness of sustenance by Allah it may be a trap given by Allah. That's the kind of thing we should be afraid of, ma'am. This person will feel further away from God. It is precisely when we are rebuked with a falling effort that means God loves us. Because God still cares about us. And want us to leave that evil."
"Is what is happening to me right now a form of God's love for me? Because all this time my father's business did involve conventional banking to run his business."
"Yes could be. If we are always as holy as God, think so. Maybe God is cleaning up my treasure. Later try to feel when Mas Mirza manages a treasure that is clean from usury. It'll feel more reassuring."
"Thank you, An. My mind is starting to open. From now on, I want to get closer to God. I want to fix my prayers, and my other worship. "
"Yes Mas. Thank God I am so grateful that Mas could think like that. "
"Yes, I slept first." Anjeli finally fell asleep, to eliminate the dizziness in his head that he had felt earlier.
Mirza looked at the sleeping face of his wife. He rubbed his wife's cheek gently. Then kiss her forehead. The woman in front of him is a woman who is truly noble in heart. It is not wrong that he chose Anjeli to be his life companion. It is true said his late mother, if you want to find a wife, look for a wife who is shalihah. Because a woman who is a pious, will always be beside you both like and sorrow. And proved an Anjeli who he saw from his closed outer appearance, in fact his heart was so noble. Mirza felt grateful, because the trials she had at this time made her draw closer to God. He will obey what Anjeli said. He will try to avoid anything riba related.
In the afternoon Mirza invited Anjeli to find a suitable location for him to start a new business. First of all he will rent a place first, he will look for a strategic location so that his business can quickly grow.
"Mas, why don't you open the laundry at home? Isn't our house on the side of the highway?"
"The road in front of our house is wide. But the location is not strategic. I look for a location that is close to the crowd such as an office or school or campus. "
"Oh so, my mother? Yes it is up to you. I'd better understand what that strategic location is like."
They went around looking for a suitable place. But neither is anything to Mirza's liking. Even if there is a price the rent is not suitable and eventually they have to search until the afternoon.
"Mas, why don't you just open it in my campus? It seems like there are a lot of places that are rented out."
"Oh can that be An. In the campus environment, there will be many fans. Because students rarely wash their own bikes."
"Yes let's just look there." Mirza drove her car to the Anjeli campus. They are looking for a suitable place for the Mirza motorcycle washing business. After a few minutes, they finally found the right location. Not too close to the campus, but on the edge of the highway and close to a crowded place of student boarding.
"It looks like it's suitable to be used as a washing machine. "Anjeli pointed to one of the shops that said contracted.
"Yes, I'll meet the owner. Who knows the rent's gonna fit our pockets."
"Yes Mas. Just try."
Mirza gets out of the car followed by Anjeli. He was looking for the owner of the shop to negotiate. After meeting the owner, it turns out the rental price is affordable for Mirza. Anjeli was happy, because their first step had been achieved.
"Alhamdulillah. God eases our desires. Hopefully this place will bring blessings for us huh An."
"Aamiinu. The spirit of Mas. I will always support you."
"Thank you, An. Thanks to your support I was able to stand up straight to face all this."
"That's what I call husband and wife. We have to strengthen each other." Mirza looked at his wife who he thought was his best friend in the world.
