The Angel Behind the Veil

Saying Two Words of Shahadah

A year on, Cantika is now a very popular writer. The hope is granted, after writing 5 titles of novels that have been printed by many readers who have understood how beautiful Islam is. Even these few weeks there was a mysterious account that sent him a chat and asked. "What's wrong if a non-Muslim reads a novel about Islam?" Cantika replied "Of course not." Then the man asked again. "What if the novel made her want to embrace Islam?" Cantika. "Allah is a guidance to that man, may his intentions be pure to God." Then the man asked again. "What if the man's intention is not just God's?" Cantika did not understand so she asked what she meant and the man said. "What if a non-Muslim falls in love with a Muslim and for the sake of the one he loves he learns Islam and then he also falls in love with Islam itself?" Seeing that question in her chat column Cantika quivered, she suddenly thought of Arya and thought if Arya was that person then she would be very happy then she shook her head and said impossible. Arya was so trusting her belief that all this time it was impossible for her sake she was willing to abandon her belief.

Because the old Cantika did not reply to his chat the person asked back.

Cantika. "Let's be lucky for those two. Who was a non-Muslim then decided to embrace Islam sincerely then he was likened to being born without sin. And Muslims who succeed in making a non-Muslim embrace Islam will get a reward or count of good practice. It is fortunate that the two of them can be together in the way of Allah and love each other for the sake of Allah."

The person then thanked Cantika for strengthening his belief.

Cantika closed her chat app. She leaned back on the bed and recalled the days when she, Arya and Bi Susi were together. He missed that moment so much. Somehow Arya and Bi Susi. Cantika wanted to go there and see them but Cantika was embarrassed because Arya herself had never met him even though Cantika had said in her letter at that time that she would stay in her old house. But during this year Arya never came.

Arya also just came out of her chat application. He smiled so cheerfully.

"What makes you so happy?"

Bi Susi who saw Arya smiling herself approached Arya.

"Auntie noticed during these few weeks you're more excited." Bi Susi.

"Say the Son."

"Is my aunt angry if I convert to Islam?"

Wrya's question made Bi Susi shocked.

"What for Cantika?" Ask Bi Susi.

"Not Bi, but this is indeed in the beginning because of it. But right now I really admire Islam and decided to go deeper into it." Arya said, she was very afraid that Bi Susi would be angry with her. But not as expected, Bi Susi instead said.

"Auntie wants to be Muslim. Since the departure of Cantika Bibi felt lost. And to let go of her longing, Bibi always read her novels and all the writing moved her heart. But Bibi is not sure until now you say you want to convert to Islam Bibi also feel that Islam is perfect and so beautiful."

Hearing the words of Bi Susi Arya was very happy. It was like he was getting a new life. At that time Arya and Bi Susi went to the big mosque and asked an Ustadzh there to lead him to say two beautiful sentences that is the shahadah. The Ustadzh also taught them the basics of Islam and the duties of a Muslim.
