The Faithful Heart

The Faithful Heart
The Easy Way to Heaven



Laura, Rayhan, Yusuf and Evi moved out of their seats and greeted the teachers, most of whom had been their educators in high school. They say hello to each other just asking news and interspersed with nostalgic small talk about their mischief in school. Laura, Yusuf and Rayhan seemed to sparkle and chuckle when their former BK teacher, Mr. Danang remembered about the punishment they had received first. Among them only Evi who seemed silent put on a flat expression and occasionally showed a bland smile.


Until the afternoon, Hana's residence was still filled with guests who came to congratulate her. Although without an invitation, almost all of Hana's friends attended the historic event. And one that stole the attention was the presence of Rizal with his three wives.


" Happy Han, you have finally fulfilled one of Rosul's sunnahs" said Rizal as he put the palms together in front of his chest in exchange for a handshake.


" Thank you Zal. These guys....?" Hana looked at the three beautiful women in long headscarves who were smiling sweetly behind Rizal.


" Oh, let's introduce they're all my beloved wives. Aminah, Zana and Zeni. Beautify it?" Rizal introduced his three wives with pride.


" Huh, yeah, they're all pretty. Meet my Rizal High School friend, Hana." Hana smiled kindly towards the three women and was reciprocated with the same by the three.


" Once again I congratulate Hana, God, by getting married then the reward of a person when worshiping will be doubled. There is even a hadith that says that praying two prayers of married people is better than praying 70 prayers of unmarried people. So lucky are the people who have married." explained Rizal at length.


" Thank you." replied the Lord briefly as he shook Rizal's hand.


" I still really don't think that you're going to be like this Zal."


Actually more unexpected that you will have three wives like this. Huffff...... Moreover, everything was brought to the wedding together. I think it is very deliberate if you want to boast with three wives.


" He he he.. All of this is God's will. The path of human life has been laid down by Him. And you now as a wife should be very proud and happy because the field of reward has been opened wide for you. Especially if you allow and tell your husband to do polygamy, heaven awaits you Han. It was the easiest way for women to reach heaven." said Rizal at length who made Hana's eyeballs round instantly.


" Heh, what did you say?" Hana gritting her teeth held back the emotion. The glint of his eyes was sharp as if ready to eliminate a creature that had once been a close friend when in the High School.


Damnit...... What does Rizal mean. On my wedding day she dared to say something like this? It used to be a no-brainer for this child. It is true that religion does not forbid polygamy, but should he speak when congratulating at the pelaminan. I swore my hands were already so itchy to slap her.


" Oh yes Zal please enjoy the food." The god allowed Rizal to immediately enjoy the dish, itung itung to divert the subject that had made his wife's face turn into sadistic fashion.


Find this problem Rizal, do not realize what if his talk makes Hana inflamed? That wedding day, tell Hana to let me do polygamy again. Be present.....I hope I don't get hit.


" Sweetie said he was tired, want to be taken?"


" No need." ketus Hana while glancing sharply at her husband.


" Want to eat or drink? I'll take it?" The god tried to persuade his wife to let her anger subside.


" Not hungry." the glint of anger in Hana's eyes had still not subsided.


" why? Or do you agree with Rizal that the easiest way to heaven for a woman is to allow her husband to remarry? You want to be like Rizal, have more than one wife?" hana's question was filled with emphasis.


" Of course not. Where I might want to marry again. My heart is only one and it is yours." said the Lord with sincerity.


" I want to change clothes, tired of wearing kebaya kayak gini continue." Hana's getting up from the guarantee.


" All right, come on, baby. I'm also sick of wearing this stuff." The god is trailing behind his wife.


" Not to follow. I don't want to change clothes with you." said Hana with jutek.


" Yes, yes, I'm not with you. I changed clothes in a separate room." The gods try to remain patient and give in.


After almost an hour, Hana came out of the dressing room to approach Laura with casual clothes and a face that was clean of makeup.


" Hi, what are you wearing?" tekik Laura when the bride who had just joined in the guarantee came to her by wearing her flagship clothes while at home.


" There are still many Han guests why are you wearing such sich t-shirts?"


" I'm tired and tired of wearing a kebaya like that. Anyway my show should be done too." Hana snorted.


" Ckk, I'm tired of Ra. The most comfortable is a shirt like this. It's a guest of Mother's, a regular of the neighbors." - Hana.


" Where did Joseph and the others go?"


" Sister Rayhan came home there was an urgent business, while Yusuf was driving Rizal to the front, but why not come back here again huh?"


" By the way I didn't think that Rizal could be a kyai, plus now he has three wives. Nerima just shook my hand, he said not muhrim. Spechless to me."


" I also did not think, especially earlier he told me I let me give up my husband to marry again so that I get heaven easily" Hana said with a murmur.


" WHAATTT?" squeal Laura.


" It's crazy and it's not so bad, is it? It's like it's in the pelaminan."


" Really...? Ha haa ha, his brain asked to be jedodin dech like." Laura did not finish thinking with Rizal.


" Ah, don't talk about Rizal anymore, make emotions."


" Aren't you going to change your kebaya to a more casual dress?" Hana looked at Laura who was at home with her appearance.


" Later on, I'm still wearing this shirt, I look more beautiful and elegant." Laura looks proud of her looks.


" Huffff, whatever. I'm gonna find a god first."


" Cieee, newlyweds. The penginetan only. What about the teacher?" Laura Goda.


" You're the one who fussed." Hana snorted to find her husband.


Where is god? He wasn't angry because of my attitude, was he? Could it be that he was outside of the house in search of a fresh breeze?


Hana stepped out of the yard through the small door behind her house. The situation there is a bit quiet and a little dim.


" Yusuf? Evi?! Why are you here?" hana asked astonished to see her sister and her best friend together and seemed to be talking about something.


" Sister?"


" Hana?" joseph and Laura answered almost simultaneously.


" You guys..?"


" I and Joseph's brother were just looking for the wind, happened to meet here all chatting." replied Evi in a flat tone.


" Oh, really?"


" I'll go in first Brother, help Mom." Evi entered the house in a hurry.


" I want to nemenin Laura, too." Joseph also hurried away.


They both looked strange, like something was hidden. Could it be....?


"Emph.....!" there was someone who smothered Hana's mouth from behind. The attack that arrived made Hana unprepared for resistance. Plus the man was not alone, but five. Hana doesn't recognize them because they all wear masks.


Hana's attempts to rebel and escape were in vain as they swiftly held Hana's body, covered her head with cloth and tied her legs and hands together. Hana's body was forcefully carried into a car which then drove fast.
