Chapter 60

     A motorcycle with two people riding on it and drove up to Aulia who was walking on the side of the road. The one who was piggybacked pulled Aulia's sling bag.

"Murkey!" aulia shouted while running after the motor.

"Aulia?" Alvan who was sitting in the car was shocked to hear the woman's scream. He immediately turned his body when he saw Aulia running after the motorbike that had snatched her bag.

"Hey, where are you going?" alvan shouted when he saw the driver chasing the jambret.

"It's not going to be faster if chased by a car," said Alvan.

     Alvan let out his head and shouted, "Hey, free will not be overtaken!"

"Murkey!" Aulia ran while screaming while the bike was far away from her.

      Another motorbike chased the snatcher's motor and kicked it to the ground. The motorbike also fell with the driver. 

     Then, the man got off his bike and beat the two snatchers. The punches and kicks he gave a lot on the two snatchers. Even he opened the helmet and used it as a weapon to hit the heads of the two people until they were helpless.

      Aulia who just got there was shocked, when one of the snatchers woke up and pulled out a folding knife from her pocket. The snatcher would stab the man who was trying to help him.

"Revelation!" aulia shouted hysterically. 

     Hearing Aulia's cry, the person who helped her turned her back and managed to hold the hand of the snatcher who was holding a folding knife. The hand was twisted to a strip until the knife slipped off. Then, he kicked his stomach on his knees and fell to the ground.

     The shadow of Ahmad whose body was full of incision wounds again reflected in his eyes. Aulia's entire body suddenly suffocated and finally fell to the ground. Her tears flowed back down her niqob. His body was also shaking violently.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" ask the driver who managed to catch up to Aulia.

"Call the cops!" yell that guy.

"Ah. Th-yes, fine!" reply to the driver.

"Gus Fathir?" lirih Aulia's. Now, he could see the person who had helped him.

"Aulia?" Fathir only realized that the person he had helped was the woman he loved.

      Fathir also helped Aulia get up and sit her in a cement chair not far from there. The driver came back and took Alvan there. 

     Alvan felt dislike when there were foreign men who were so close to Aulia. Especially when the man gave her drinking water and Aulia received it. He felt annoyed at himself for not being able to help the woman he liked when in trouble.

"Aulia, you're okay, right?" alvan asked with worried eyes.

"It's okay, sir," replied Aulia.

"He, who?" ask Fathir.

"Gus, meet Mr. Alvan. The boss where I work now," said Aulia.

"Do you know this guy?" ask Alvan back.

"Sir, meet Gus Fathir. Her sister Ning Annisa," replied Aulia.

"What?" pekik Alvan was surprised.

"You also know my sister" said Fathir kindly.

"Yes, yesterday I lived in Aulia's house in the village. Ning Annisa also stayed with us," Alvan replied.

      Alvan stared in full search at Fathir. The same thing Fathir did, he stared at Alvan.

'The man who can be my rival to get Aulia. He was handsome with his face shady and glowing. He must have a high level of religious knowledge. Are he and Ahmad the same? It would be bad if my rival had the criteria Aulia wanted.' Alvan could only speak in his heart.

'Allah, why did Mas Ahmad's shadow come back. Dreams don't let me experience them again. Truly I would not be able to see the fate of people close to me like Mas Ahmad, Aulia said in her heart.

      The police came quickly and took the two snatchers. Aulia and Fathir were questioned by police about the incident.

      Alvan was silent in his study while looking up and looking at the beautifully carved ceiling. He thought about what happened this afternoon. Because her legs could not walk she could not help Aulia. Alvan also pulled out his hair to vent his frustration. Then, he picked up a cell phone and contacted someone.

"Good night, doctor. Can I resume therapy that was delayed?" ask Alvan to call the doctor who handled it first.

^^^"Well, you finally want to do therapy. Mr. Kenzo must be very happy."^^^

"Yes, papi is very happy if I can walk back."

^^^"Besok can come to the hospital."^^^

"alright. Thank you, Doc."

     Alvan returned to his room. He tried to move his powerless legs. He hit his leg, there was pain. His feet were not numb, but there was no energy at all.

"Oh Allah, may I walk again" said Alvan, softly and expectantly.

      Tonight Aulia can't sleep. The shadow of Ahmad was again present. Somehow this could happen again after two years had passed never crossed his memory again. To remove the shadow, Aulia also recited the name of God the Giver of Peace of the soul. Until he fell asleep too.

'Where is this?' inner Aulia walked in a very beautiful garden. Aulia continued to walk in the flower garden and green grass, as well as many trees that grew shady. As far as the eye could see there was only beauty and amazement that Aulia could feel.

"Aulia, what are you doing here?" The voice of a person who was no stranger to him why to Aulia's ears.

     Aulia turned her body. He looked at the figure of a handsome man with a glowing face. No flaws there.

"Mas Ahmad," said Aulia with a smile on her face.

"Why are you crying?" ask Ahmad.

"Because Ahmad has left me. Mas Ahmad said he loved me, but did not want to marry me. I really want to be your wife. To be your angel in the world and in the hereafter." Aulia's eyes still shed her tears.

"Someone is waiting for you. He wants you to be his bidadnya. Then why are you still here? Comehim. He is the man who will make you Queen in his life." Ahmad spoke in his usual smooth voice.

"Why didn't Mas Ahmad make me your Queen?" Aulia took a step forward and Ahmad took a step back.

"I'm sorry. It cannot be" said Ahmad with a sad face.

"I know I don't deserve you, do I?" Aulia smiled as her heart felt pain.

"No. There is a man who is more worthy of you than me. God knows what's best for you, Aulia." Ahmad shook his head.

"Who?" ask Aulia.

"Look, he's waiting for you!" Ahmad pointed towards a higher plain.

     Aulia could see there was someone up there, but she could not see his face. Aulia also placed her palm over her eyebrows so as not to glare at her sight. However, he still could not see his face.

"Who is he, my friend? I can't see her face" asked Aulia.

     Not getting an answer from Ahmad, Aulia turned her body and looked towards where Ahmad was standing. However, Ahmad was no longer there.

"Mas Ahmad!" call Aulia by spreading her vision to all directions.

Will Alvan be able to make his way back? Who is Aulia's soul mate? (it's still a long time like 😆)

The writing that I put down was in Aulia's dream, yes. Although you can tell the difference, but there are also readers who like to jump read the chapter. Let there be no misunderstanding.
