Chapter 122

Gus Fathir who could not return to Indonesia because of his busy life on campus, just congratulated and prayed Aulia and Alvan through a video call. Actually Alvan was expecting the arrival of the man, because they had decided to become good friends since Aulia chose him.

"Gus Fathir is so busy, huh?" aulia asked Ning Annisa.

"Yes, he besides going to college, he teaches at a different university" replied Gus Fathir's sister.

"Ning Annisa?" call Amelia hesitating.

"Amel!" Ning Annisa was happy to see her friend back.

They also share stories about everyday life that is being lived lately. When Aulia said that Amelia was making an approach to Rangga, Ning Annisa instead pinched the girl for hiding this from her.

"It seems like you no longer consider me as a friend," Ning Annisa said.

"It's not like that, I'm embarrassed if it turns out that later it will not be a match with Kak Rangga," replied Amelia.

"Normally, there's no shame. I also used to always tell Aulia and it turns out that I am not a match with her. Even my soul mate was found out by accident," Ning Annisa said with a big grin and laughed at herself because she was so hopeful that Ustadz Azka would be her match.

Aulia too, she had hoped that Gus Fathir would be the man who would become the priest of her family. But destiny says something else. It turns out his soul mate is Alvan. The man who makes himself finds a new life that was never implied in his mind first. As a result of the hit-and-run done by Alvan first, he lost the baby he contained. Then, invited by Grandpa Yusuf and Grandma Halimah to live in the village and become their adopted children. This is the point of light in Aulia's life.

Now Aulia and Ning Annisa are teasing Amelia. The two also support their relationship even Safiyah has also called her Mother Amel. 

"Then, how's your relationship with the bulls?" aulia asked curiously, because her friend had never told her anything more about her household life in recent times.

Ning Annisa's face instantly changed. It is clear that the house is in trouble right now. There was no need to say anything Aulia knew of her friend's current state. He immediately hugged his best friend's body.

"Are you guys fighting?" amelia asked, as she also noticed a change in the facial expression of her friend who usually looks cheerful with her carefree voice.

"We are introspection. Sometimes there are things that are considered trivial to others, but it is a very serious thing for us. Or vice versa we consider it not important something, but it is very valuable for others," said Ning Annisa.

Halima's grandmother who heard the words that Anisa knew that this student was in trouble with her husband. The old woman could only rub her head while smiling at him and giving a few words of advice and encouragement to this woman.

"There are hardly any married couples who escape the name of discord in fostering relationships. In fact, it is rare for a husband and wife to go through a household without any problems and disputes. Therefore, it is not excessive when problems and disputes in the household are considered normal, because this is difficult to avoid," said Grandma Halimah and Ning Annisa also nodded.

"However, that does not mean that you have to surrender to the situation and let problems and disputes eat away at the foundation of the household and erase the happiness of your family. Do not suppose that strife is an irresistible and insurmountable great disaster" the black-throated old woman continued in her soft voice.

"In every way, they must find a solution so that the family is awake and the marriage rope can be maintained. They must be sure that every problem has a solution. They do not despair and continue to struggle to find solutions for the integrity of the family and perpetuate marriage" explained Grandpa Yusuf's wife.

"Maybe because we are both still selfish and do not want to listen to each other. So that there was a problem in my current relationship with Rafael," Ning Annisa said with her voice trembling with restraint from crying.

Grandma Halimah also brought Ning Annisa to sit on a chair that was a bit away from the group of people who were there. She did not want to until someone else followed her to gossip about Ning Annisa's household problems. Even though the people who were there were only a handful of people. However, who knows later there will be someone who accidentally opened the disgrace of this girl's domestic life.

However, Aulia was still following him. He wanted to get advice from the woman who always gives encouragement in his life. Now they were sitting three, with Ning Annisa sitting in the middle.

"There are various ways that you can do to deal with the conflict of married couples. First, finish it with love.

Islam always teaches its people to spread compassion to whoever it is around. Including couples in the household. For that, when there is a conflict, one way that can be done is to resolve it through affection," Grandma Halimah said as she rubbed Ning Annisa's back.

"Second, control emotions as best you can. Emotions are a natural reaction of everyone that we cannot avoid. But that doesn't mean you always have to be followed. Someone who can control his emotions and be more patient is preferred by Allah SWT," continued Grandma Halimah.

"Three, give each other soft advice. Usually when there is a conflict in the household, both parties will feel themselves the most right, so that each is firm with his stance. In fact, actions like this will only make the situation more complicated.

Therefore, try to finish with a softer approach. Ask your partner to sit down and discuss with each other to find a solution to your problems. By listening to each other, problems can be overcome faster and relationships more harmonious," added Granny Halimah.

Ning Annisa nodded confirming this. Yesterday he and Rafael both did not want to lose and felt that he was the right one.

"Then, Grandma?" pinta Aulia was even more curious about the advice of this old woman.

"Fourth, forgive each other. Being stubborn by holding each other in their respective positions will never solve the problem, Bela, especially if coupled with no one wants to apologize first. You must be wise by realizing that no human being is perfect.

Every one of us, including you and your partner, makes mistakes. For that, taking steps to apologize does not mean dropping self-esteem. It can show your maturity level in the household. Allah SWT also likes people who want to forgive each other," said Grandma Halimah still faithfully stroked the back of Rafael's wife.

"Fifth, maintain communication and trust each other. The way to resolve domestic conflicts according to the teachings of Islam is to maintain communication and trust. This is because both are the main foundation of the strength of a relationship, with smooth and open communication, misunderstandings in the household can be minimized.

For that, whatever you face, whether it is small or big, it is good to always communicate together. Then, mutual trust can make bad prejudices or suudzon can be avoided, so the heart can be much calmer," said Grandma Halimah.
