Tears of Sholehah's Wife
Episode 72's.
Radit had conveyed his decision to Arif and also Salma, the two people were surprised not to play to hear it.
“You sure of that decision? Why did you suddenly change your mind like this?” Ask Arif.
“Yes, Son Radit. If there is a problem, we can talk carefully, why should I cancel all this?” Sela Salma's.
“Insha Allah I'm sure, Sir, Mom. I'm really sorry, right now, that's the best for everything.” Sahut Radit then glanced at the bowed Jihan.
“Yes, but why, Nak Radit?” Salma still could not accept.
“Because I'm trying to accept that not all hope will come true, ma'am. And I ventured to let Jihan go, not because I gave up, but I realized that there was something that could not be forced.” Sahut Radit.
“What did Jihan do wrong?” Salma who was still confused tried to make sure.
“Neg, Mom. Jihan has done nothing wrong, she is just too afraid to hurt other people's feelings so she is more willing to harbor her own feelings.”
“I understand now. If this is your decision, we can't say anything more. God willing this is the best for all of us.” Arif finally opened his voice after he digested everything that happened.
Radit smiles. “Aamiin, Sir.”
“I hope our friendship stays awake after this.” Arif.
“Insha Allah we will continue to establish friendship even though my marriage and Jihan are void.”
Arif nodded and smiled. He deeply appreciated what Radit had decided and he also understood the reason behind it. While Salma who still does not understand fully, was upset because Arif did not ban Radit.
“Hem, Mas.” Jihan who had been trembling from earlier, finally made a sound to make everyone look at her.
“Yes, what's up, Jihan?” Ask Radit.
“I want to restore this.” Jihan thrust out the ring that Radit had given her that she had removed from her finger.
Radit looked at the round object with a sad face, but then smiled and grabbed it.
“Thank you for everything.” Said Jihan without daring to look at Radit.
“Iya, equally.” Reply Radit.
“Then we will return the items that Nak Radit has given?” Arif remembered the proposal from Radit.
“Not done, sir! I've already made it my wish to Jihan.” Reply Radit.
“Do not do so, Mas.” Reject Jihan sunggan.
“It's okay, Jihan. Make mementos.”
“Thank you very much, Mas.”
Radit smiles. “Sama-sama. Then excuse me first, I want to go back to Jakarta.”
“Yes, Son Radit. Be careful on the road.”
“Assalamualaikum.”
“Wa’alaikumsalam.”
Radit left Arif's residence with a sad heart and relief.
“So why stay quiet and not try to prevent Nak Radit from canceling all this?” Salma Protest.
Salma's face looks upset, she then turns to look at Jihan who is still down. “Jihan, what's the matter? Why did Nak Radit suddenly make this decision?”
Jihan slowly recounted her meeting with Ammar until Radit finally made this surprising decision.
“Astaghfirullah, Jihan! Why are you careless like this, we had better avoid that Ammar. Why talk to him? Look, now Nak Radit so cancel everything!” An upset Salma nagged Jihan.
“I'm sorry, Ummi, Abi. It's my fault!” Jehan mourned with tears.
“Already, Ummi! Nothing is wrong here! Everything is fate, it's a sign that Jihan and Nak Radit are not fools. God must have other plans for them and whoever Jihan's matchmaking later, that's the best.” Sela Arif who does not want Salma to corner the princess.
“Jehan anyway so married to Nak Radit, Ummi still not permission he refer to Ammar!” Salma moved and entered the room.
Arif breathed a heavy sigh seeing Salma's attitude that was always hard and selfish when it came to Jihan.
“Abi, I'm sorry, huh?". Said Jihan slowly.
“Already, no need to apologize! You are not wrong.”
“But I have been sure and steady choose Mas Radit, but why even like this? Why did my feelings for Mas Ammar destroy everything?” Jihan sobbing.
Arif rubbed Jihan's head covered in hijab. “Nak, when God leaves love in your heart, you will not be able to choose who you love or reject the love that comes. Because love is really a thing. And there are times when God tests the love that he entrusts, be it love for Him or His servant. He will test how strong the bond of love is, it could be by predestining other loves to just make sure that the love he entrusted does not diminish his strength or even take back that love.”
“It could be that right now God is testing your love to ensure its strength. Do not forget, Allah is heart-turning.” Continue Arif who from the beginning did not want to force anything on the princess.
“But I still feel guilty, Abi. I must have hurt the feelings of Mas Radit and Bu Yuni.”
“Insha Allah they must understand all this. So you should not worry about anything else, be prejudiced about the destiny of God and get closer to Him. Because when God gives you trials and pains, it's a sign that he wants to be close to you.”
Jihan was stunned to hear the father's words, her heart was a little calm despite still being overwhelmed with guilt.
“It is better now you pray isya, Abi want to go to the room first.”
Jihan nodded. “Iya, Abi.”
As Arif left Jihan, he went into the room and saw Salma lying behind him. Arif sat next to his wife and melted
“Ummi.”
“Hem.”
“Ummi is asleep?” Ask Arif.
“But.”
“Can we talk?”
“Abi would have wanted to persuade Ummi to approve Jihan and Ammar, right?” Guess Salma.
“No, Abi just wanted to tell Umm not to make Jihan feel guilty. Poor him!”
“Ummi's pissed off, Abi! Ammar has hurt Jihan, but why can't our son forget her? Though Ummi was very happy to have a daughter-in-law like Nak Radit, but all failed.”
“Ummi, don't over-love or hate someone! Because we never know what God is planning to do through that person. After all, a soul mate is like Alif Lam Mim, only God knows. So we should put everything on God's terms and sincerely live what happens. Insha Allah we will be happy the afterlife.” Arif tried to advise his wife not to drag on regretting what had happened.
While Salma was only silent, it was inevitable that he still felt upset and sad over Radit's decision, but the words of the husband a little realized that he had been excessive and did not accept the fate of the creator.
