The Heart that Chose

Chapter 84

Khalid told Udin not to allow anyone to enter the gate except his mother and wife. He doesn't want to meet anyone. At home he went straight to his room.

Bi Lastri saw his master looking shabby and tired, coming home without his wife. Seeing her Master like that she did not dare to ask why Miss Syafina did not come home with her master.

"Sir Khalid may not have eaten, he looked lethargic. What is a fight with a non-Syafina? " Inner Lastri in the heart.

In his room, Khalid opened his suit and threw it away. He also opened the tie and threw it. Then he threw his body on his bed with his feet still on the floor and his body laid down.

Khalid was tired, his mind was heavy and he was worried about his wife and child. Now she has another child with Sherina, the result of her depraved deeds that night.

"O Allah, help me to face this problem, your servant is no longer able" Khalid closed his eyes and fell asleep because he was tired.

Only a few minutes before Khalid fell asleep arrived the door of his room was knocked, because it was not opened finally Fatimah just entered. Because he knows there's Khalid inside. When Khalid fell asleep, there was no Shafina there.

"Where's Syafina? " Fatimah asked inwardly. Fatimah touched her son's arm.

"Wake up Khalid" Fatimah shook Khalid's hand.

Khalid opened his eyes slowly, and he immediately sat down when he saw his mother sitting next to him.

"Mom's been a while?" Khalid saw the clock in his hand.

"Barusan" replied Fatimah.

"Astagfirullah, I have not prayed Zuhur. Ma'am I prayed first"

"Congratulations first. I'm waiting for you downstairs".

Arga finished the story, Arsya who heard it looks very emotional.

"Hhh, Khalid's a male bastard. This is very unfair to Syafina." Arsya clenched her hands.

"Here you go, I'm sure it's Sherina's trap too" Viana said.

"But we can't be sure it's Sherina's action yet, we have to find evidence first" Dendi said

"I think it's in the trap or not but it's happened, right, thank God Sherina's not pregnant". Arsya said with a cynical tone.

Everyone who was there looked at Arsya.

"It's also Arsya" Reyhan murmured in his heart.

"Oh yeah, I still have business, Viana and I go home first." Arsya took Viana's hand. Then they both stood up.

Khalid went to see his mother, they both sat on the bed in his mother's room.

"Khalid, Shafina where. I didn't see her, said Lastri you didn't go home with her"

"Syaphina's at her parents' house"

"He ran away after hearing Sherina was pregnant?"

"He didn't run away, ma'am, Syafina just needs calmness"

"Okay, it's not easy for Syafina, but she has to be sincere. It happened too, right?"

"Let Syafina deal with it in her own way ma'am"

"You talk to your wife, take her home. "

"Yes ma'am, I'll be there tonight".

"Khalid, about Sherin's pregnancy. I hope you're responsible." Fatimah spoke in a stern tone.

Khalid silently heard his mother say, He looked down at the floor.

"Do you still refuse to marry her, I don't want you to forsake your own flesh and blood"

"Yes ma'am, I'll take responsibility"

"Not just financially, but the child will also need a father"

"Yes mom I know that"

"Good, and you should also be able to persuade your wife to accept Sherina as her honey"

Khalid nodded, that was all he could do to convince his mother. Although in his heart he felt unable to hurt Syafina.

"Yes please"

Khalid then went out and asked Syafina's mother-in-law.

Once in his room Khalid immediately called Zaenab's mother.

"Assalamualaikum ma, how is Syafina.? "

"Waalaikum hail, Syafina just woke up. He's at lunch now"

"Oo Alhamdulillah, ma did you also know this problem ma? "

"Yes, my mom just told me"

"Ehm ma, can I go home tonight I want to see Fina's condition"

"Mama could have been khal, but Fina said not to tell you she was here. That means he hasn't met you yet"

"Oh that, yes it is. Maybe tomorrow I'll see Fina. Take care of Fina for me ma ya"

"Yes, don't worry. "

"Assynogaic"

"Greetings waalaikum"

After calling her mother-in-law Khalid felt more relieved, and she was able to rest in peace.

In the evening Khalid did not feel at home, since he had been out of the house along the streets of the city did not know where the destination was. He wanted to visit Syafina but he remembered Zaenab's mother saying that she had not yet met him.

That's what Khalid is going through right now. Adzan Isya was already reverberating, Sayup sayup muezzin voice calm his mind, Khalid pull his car in front of the mosque Agung An Nur. Khalid was the biggest donor in the Megah mosque.

After praying together, one of the pilgrims went home to their home. Khalid had not yet moved from his seat, he was swept away in his prayer. Khalid prayed for the safety of his wife and child, asking the creator to remove him immediately from the problems that befell him. He begged forgiveness for his sins. Not feeling his tears flowing on his cheeks, Khalid so solemnly complained to his Lord.

Someone pat Khalid on the shoulder, Khalid looked up at the man. The man smiled at Khalid and sat down beside Khalid.

"A brave man cries, it's definitely a very heavy problem, there's no harm in telling me who knows I can help"

Harizal, the imam of Agung An Nur mosque, is about two years older than Khalid. Khalid had known him since he became a regular donor of the mosque.

Khalid wiped away the tears with his fingers, he set his breath in order to tell him the problem.

"I have sinned against ustad,"

"The sinful deeds that make you sad and sorry are more favoured by God than the good deeds and practices that make you proud." Ustad Harizal conveyed the words of Ali bin Abi Talib.

"Will God forgive me?"

"Do not think that God does not forgive you, repent earnestly and regretfully"

"Yes, I'm so sorry. I really want to repent"

"If you may know, what sins have you committed ?"

Khalid smoothly recounted the events of that night with nothing left behind. He wants to share his problem. Wanting someone to hear his complaints, there is usually Syafina who is faithful to hear his curses. But this time Syafina was nowhere near him.

"I can't believe you did that Khalid, an honorable and pious man like you did that, didn't think it was possible"

"I'm not sure either, but all the evidence is against me"

"Pray to be free from this problem, pray earnestly for God's help. Perhaps God longs to hear your cries, longs for you to beg Him".

Khalid pondered Harizal's words. It is true that he may have been arrogant because of his success, succeeded in his business, became rich with his own business at a young age, got everything he wanted. Including getting the woman he loves easily. Plus the pregnancy of his wife that adds the Complete mercy of Allah to him.

"I have boasted of my success when it was all the rest of God" said Khalid.

"Iktikaflah you in the mosque tonight, I also happen to be intikaf tonight"

Khalid nodded his head, hearing the words of Ustad Harizal. That night Khalid spent in remembrance, reciting the Qur'an, Qiyamul lail, and honoring Allah.
