"Not slept?" Sapa Shara who had pulled the chair next to Diftha, then sat right next to the man.
"Suddenly insomniac and unable to sleep" replied Diftha as she sipped black coffee in front of her.
"And you're drinking black coffee?" Shara stared in disbelief at Diftha while shaking her head.
Diftha immediately laughed crisply.
"So suddenly I wanted to drink coffee," Diftha said then reasoned.
"You yourself, haven't slept yet? It's almost midnight" Diftha asked Shara.
"So I was asleep, then I woke up and felt thirsty" Shara explained as she flipped the glass she had just picked up, then filled it with water from the teapot. Shara then gulps down some water in her glass yadi hingha.
"You've given permission to Miss Maria and Mr Rudi to stay here?" Tanya Diftha opened the conversation after that she and Shara were both silent.
"Yes," Shara answered briefly.
Shara then plays her finger on the lip of the glass, remembering her message tadu to Miss Maria who was only read without reply at all.
"By the way, the doctor had recommended a neurologist to treat Gizta," said Diftha again who instead discuss other things.
"really? May there be a bright spot ahead of him." Shara said expectantly.
"Hopefully" timpal Diftha also hoped. The man took another sip of his coffee and Shara only watched Diftha in silence.
"Why do you keep looking at me, Shara?" Tegur Diftha who turned out to be sensitive. Shara laughed at once.
"Your face. So I feel at home staring at him for a long time," said Shara who now instead of supporting her face with her hands and still staring at Diftha fixedly.
"I'm going to sleep!" Diftha finally broke up while sipping coffee again until barren before the man stood up.
"You want to teach me to say the word shahada?" Shara asked suddenly which instantly made Diftha stare in disbelief at the girl.
"Said what?" Tanya Diftha made sure. Diftha wished she had just misheard.
"The word of the shahadah."
"I read on google that the condition for me to enter your religion is that I only need to say that sentence," said Shara at length who finally made Diftha sit back in her chair.
"just?" Diftha laughed heartily.
"What's wrong? I'm misinformed?" Shara asked confusedly.
"What is your goal in converting to Islam?" Diftha did not answer Shara's question and instead asked her back.
"For us to be together and get married" Shara replied a little hesitantly.
"You are reluctant to enter into a relationship of differing beliefs and it is impossible that you will abandon your religion, so I've made up my mind"
"I'm not reluctant, Shara!"
"But interfaith marriage is not allowed in my religion!" Diftha said in a firm tone.
"Even on the basis of human rights? Doesn't everyone have the right to choose what religion he wants and believes in?"
"Yes!" Answer Diftha quickly.
"But that's no excuse!"
"Don't the Bible also prohibit interfaith marriage?"
"Corinth-"
"2 Corinthians 6:14-15" Shara said quickly as if telling Diftha.
“That's you know!" Diftha laughed a little.
"That's why I'll follow your faith!" Sergeh Shara later.
"With reason to get married?" Tanya Diftha made sure.
"Yes!"
"Why indeed? Can't you?"
"No!" Reply Diftha firmly.
"Being a convert cannot be for such reasons, Shara!"
"First of all you must believe that Jesus is not God. The only God is Allah SWT" said Diftha at length, who immediately made Shara speechless.
"Have you believed in your heart that Allah SWT is the only God?" Ask Diftha again which immediately makes Shara speechless.
"Jesus is the Son of God and the Savior or Redeemer who does the redemption of mankind who will and confess Him."
"You never believed it, Shara!"
"You are still faithful to wear the necklace, indicating that you are a devout and God-fearing people" Diftha said as she sniffed her chin at Shara's cross. While Shara is still loyal to her silence.
"Never betray your Lord then, Shara!" Shiftha silenced before then the man got back up, then passed from before Shara.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, before Shara finally sobbed and her heart was still worried. Why is this so complicated?

"Be careful!" Message Diftha to Shara who is ready to go home on the bike. Shara was wearing a helmet and sitting on her motorbike which was also on.
"Yes!"
"You'll also be careful when dragging into the office"
"I'm riding a bike" Diftha quickly.
"Oh, be careful riding the bike then and do not forget to bring raincoat," Shara told Diftha who only commented on the smile.
"I'll go home first!" Pamit Shara then pulls the gas and starts driving her motorcycle out of the yard of Diftha's house. Shara could still see in the rearview mirror, that Diftha was still watching her from the gate, until Shara turned at the end of the road.
Shara drives her bike at a moderate speed. Both of his eyes were trying to focus on the path in front of him, even though Shara's current brain felt like a battlefield.
"Have you believed in your heart that Allah SWT is the only God?"
The question posed by Diftha last night, which made Shara instantly at a loss for words, kept circling in Shara's head. Shara thought, Diftha will immediately want to guide her to say the shahadah, when Shara asked for it. But it turns out to be a convert is not that simple. Everything has to come from the heart.
Then how will Shara's heart accept it, if since childhood in the teak Shara has been planted about his Lord, the Lord Jesus the Savior. So there was no way Shara would turn away that easily....
The beep! The beep!!
The sound of a horn echoing from behind his back immediately jolted Shara's daydream.
Shara hurriedly directed the speed of the motor to the edge because it turned out that Shara's motorbike had entered the fast lane.
Geez!
Shara is not really focused on riding a motorcycle. He almost got himself fucked.
Shara then shook her head and tried to drive away all the turmoil that was entrenched in the day and her head. Shara should focus on riding a motorcycle to her house.

"August, Buk!" Sapa Shara who finally arrived at home. Shara hurriedly approached Bu Maria who was watering the plants. The girl also directly grabbed the hand of Bu Maria and kissed her reverently. There is no pleasantries from Miss Maria whose facial expression is just flat.
"Shara last night at Gizta's house, Buk! Shara need to send a message and ask for permission," Shara closed the facility that still does not change the expression of Ms. Maria's face. Looks like Shara's real mother is indeed angry.
"Home home, Sha?" Reprimanded Mr. Rudi who just came out of the house, and already wearing a neat shirt.
"Already, Sir!"
"Boyou himself is leaving? Tumben?" Cerocos Shara to the Father.
"There is an important promise," replied Mr. Rudi without explaining at length.
"May it be good, sir!" Said Shara who had grabbed Pak Rudi's hand, then kissed the back of his hand like Shara had done to Miss Maria.
"Tomorrow you don't have a show, right?" Ask Mr. Rudi later.
"This afternoon, sir!" Sergea Bu Maria who immediately made Shara frown.
"What way, Buk? Worship again?" Shara asked to make sure. But Mary did not answer and the middle-aged woman had already passed into the house.
"What way, sir?" Shara finally asked her father.
"Later you know too. You don't have an event this afternoon, do you?" Ask Mr. Rudi to make sure.
"Nothing, sir!" Shara replied, shaking her head.
"All right! Don't go anywhere! You go to work first!" Pamit Pak Rudi finally while wild from the terrace, then immediately took the car in the garage. Shara janya noticed the father who had entered the car, and the car that had also sped away.
"What will the afternoon do?" Shara muttered curiously while guessing.
