The Substitute Bride

Chapter 12 (Satan Dominates)

God is good, so He tests his servant with such tests that man makes him a focus for the challenge before jumping into a more challenging, hypocritical world life.

The world is cruel. The world is despicable.

By temptation, God indirectly galvanizes His servant into a stronger, more patient, more steadfast, more rigid person, and most importantly man becomes more grateful for all the free pleasure that He has been given. If you complain about the test given, the test will not decrease even more will only increase the weight because the heart and self are not sincerely tested. A mother alone will not hurt her child, let alone God who created all mothers in the world.

How could God have made the test a medium to harm his servant?

It is impossible for God to hurt his servant. Know that Allah is Most Merciful, Most Merciful and Most Merciful. Allah will not give tests beyond the ability of His servants. If man had known that the Lord of calamity would have such a high place, such a high degree with God, and the saints will ask Allah for the test if they can remove all sins from vain deeds.

Tami closed the door of the orchid room, where several patients were treated. He had just finished recording the status of the patient.The patient God tested through an illness. Pain is a test, though, but if the man who is the patient realizes that pain can abort sin and steadfastly and sincerely deal with it then smile at him knowing that God loves by choosing him as the servant who lightened the scales of his evil in end day.

Indeed, with the pain of God there is so much pleasure. The pleasure of the regrouping of the family that may not occur if you are healthy, the body can take a break from the affairs of the world, and the pleasure because the pain draws us closer to the Divine Rabbi. It depends on the human being how to look at the test. Whether he sincerely and patiently accepted the test or even blamed the fate outlined for him was so cruel.

"Crazy! No wonder the actor today is alim-alim."

Tami stopped her activity putting on her shoes when she heard a familiar voice in her ears. A voice that adds its owner's provisions to the heat of hellfire. The words spoken by the damned devil to plunge the weak man, for only the weak follow the promptings of the devil.

Tami looked around. Although he already knew who Teresytha meant, he still wanted to make sure who knew there was a poor person who became the next victim of Teresytha's evil mouth that was not insured.

God gave the perfect mouth to be used for sin. Not reflecting on people who do not have a perfect mouth but they still remain grateful by saying good things. Make their shortcomings a field of reward so that God will build a house in His glorious heaven.

"It's only alim if you call your own sister's fiancee. Hypocritical." once again Teresytha shouted mockingly at him cynically.

I don't know what grudge the girl was against him to spread such vile slander. Tami learns that Teresytha was the one who spread slander that he seized Alvin from Karina for accidentally hearing the conversation of two nurses in the toilet. It was only patience that encouraged him not to serve Teresytha.

"The cover is alim but the contents are rotten, disgusting. Cihh." Teresytha spat to the side, as if she saw Tami as unclean and disgusting.

The girl who was with Teresytha hit her on the shoulder, as if telling her that what she said was too late. But Teresytha did not care. He was not happy to hurt Tami.

It would be a lie if Tami said she was okay, not angry, not irritated, not hurt. Teresytha's taunts were like thousands of needles piercing his heart. His chest felt so tight squeezed by the pain that berhubi-tubi whack. At times like this he will usually cry, otherwise the tightness will never go away and will continue to shackle and torture him.

Tami breathed the air as she could and called upon the asthma of God to strengthen her against the pride of the devil who was cheering the victory for blinding one of Adam's grandchildren. Tami continued to put up her shoes that had been delayed. He stood up while pulling the two corners of his lips together to form an arrow. Although his expression was not in line with what his heart was feeling, he still raised his head firmly. He will not let the devil cheer any longer.

Tami stepped closer to Teresytha and said, "God's judgment is above all else, Tere. No matter how hard you spread slander, Allah knows the truth. Do not make the favor given by God as a means to produce sin. Your voice is good, it will be more useful if you use your speech to teach and pray. The value of reward at His side awaits you."

"Eh, I don't need a talk from a foul-hearted woman like you, disgust me. Wanted to vomit." cried Teresytha full of anger.

Tami left the mosque area after saying a long sentence earlier. Although relieved but his chest still feels tight. Teresytha's? The girl still uttered a sentence that was so ear slicing and heartbreaking to her listeners. But Tami spread her steps, not wanting to look back. No need to be treated, later he will be tired himself. Teresytha stomped her feet in annoyance as she felt her attempt to hurt Tami was in vain. I don't know what kind of power he used until he was that strong. Teresytha would rather be fought, slapped or beaten than be silenced as before. He felt defeated.

.....

Tami leaned her body against the wall of the deserted passageway. His body just fell on the cold floor with the roar of tears that had wanted to explode. He squeezed his uniform tightly, as if holding onto his deeply wounded heart. It is not as rigid as Ummul mukminin in accepting slander. Women are creatures of God who are so good at hiding the pain in front of others even though his heart bleeds though, but when alone it erupts a balloon tear that slashes bitterly. Its wall of rigidity was destroyed in the storm until the ravages.

Yes Rabbul izzati. Verily, the servant is tested. These tears were only an expression of the feelings of the servant's heart that was so hurt. Forgive this servant of yours who is so weak in accepting this little test. Take care of yourself from the nature of revenge and anger. Cover yourself with fortitude and patience so that this self does not follow the promptings of the devil who uses man to be willing to accompany him in hell and give the servant friend to return to his nature as a giving man benefits for others. Please Tami in her little heart.

He patted his chest to reduce his inner pain. Slowly the stuffing began to subside, although not easy but he tried to return to displaying a cheerful face as usual. After washing himself with ablution water, calmness slowly seeped into his heart, reconciling the recesses of the soul that had once rippled violently.

"Tami."

Tami looked back, finding an old friend with his sleeves cut out. The young man smiled charmingly. The same smile as when Tami first saw her ten years ago.

He was thirteen years old when the young man whose full name was Muhammad Surya Ramadhan introduced himself as his neighbor. The young man who inspired Tami to become a nurse. What Tami admired from the man was his persistence in pursuing the ideal of becoming a doctor even though he came from an underprivileged family.

"Why do you want to be a doctor?he asked when he found Surya who was serious about studying in the side halls of the house.

"Not knowing if so the doctor can tinker with the body of people legally."

The innocent Tami shuddered in horror at Surya's reply. "Ih, big bad brother. Psychopathic brother huh." he asked in horror.

"No. Brother was just kidding. The real reason you want to be a doctor is because of the love that the Prophet taught. When you are little, you are often sickly and the doctor who takes care of you is a very good doctor, I am soft, painstaking, and full of sincerity. Even when Brother's parents could not afford the hospital fee, he gave up his salary for the care cost. And when Brother was healed, Brother asked him why he took care of Brother to the extent. Know what he answered?"

Tami. "Where did Tami know Bang, right that time his doctor was talking to Brother, not Tami."

Surya smile. "Ana's doctor said he was doing it for his life humanity as taught by the Prophet. The Messenger of Allah is a bearer of light that illumines the darkness and fullness of the days of Jahiliah. Therefore he continued to practice what he taught so that his light would always illuminate the lives of mankind. Being a doctor is a soul call, not just a profession because there are two letters in front of the owner's name, namely d and r."

Since hearing the great answer from Surya, Tami is determined to become a nurse in order to be part of the people who always turn on humanity.

"Yes, doc. What's up?"

Surya ran over to him and spread his soothing smile.

"No need to use the frills of all-Tami docks, do I have a frog?"

"Keep Tami should call what?"

"Call me brother, as usual."

Tami blushed. For a long time he did not meet with his childhood friends because of their respective activities. "Hubituation Bang. What did you call Tami?"

"No. Just wanted to congratulate you on your marriage to doctor Alvin. May you be a family of sakinah, mawaddah, and rahmah" said the man sincerely. A smile adorned his face even though the heart was not in harmony with the oral speech.

"Aamiinu. Thanks, Bang. Give Tami my regards to Dad, brother."

"Surely it. Give my congratulations and greetings to your husband."

"God willing. Tami pamit first. Assalamu'alaikum."

Surya stared at Tami's back until the girl disappeared in a hospital passageway.

It turns out that God did not betrothed me to Tami even though I blatantly asked you to God in my long prayer. I don't know since when, I didn't realize that my heart was already attached to you. God brings this love, so let God also remove it. Shouldn't love have? Just seeing you happy with him then I will be happy even though my heart must be hurt.

Surya stepped gontai down the hallway. Still imagined the face of the girl he loved so enthusiastically when he was accepted as a medical student. At that time, Tami promised to be a nurse so she could fight with him. Two months ago he secretly prepared a plan to convey his intentions to Tami's mother that he would preach to her. But Allah turns out to have juxtaposed the name of Tami with doctor Alvin as his mate before he had time to carry out his plan.

Do not ask how deep the heartache suffered by the man when he found out that his heart was bound and memorized by another man in a sacred promise of marriage. His dream disappeared instantly, snatched away in an instant. Indeed, man can only make plans but he forgets that God is the best planner. He will bury in that love with a million unrealizable dreams. Hopefully his Lord makes it easy. He was sure that God had prepared the best soul mate for him, perhaps one who had also secretly slipped his name in every prayer temple flown through the seventh heaven.

.....

Alvin stood at the back of the door, sharpening his gaze forward. It seemed he did not need to be surprised again to see who was lying face down on the table. He exhaled slowly and walked to the table to wake his wife.

"Ta, Tami. Wake up at night." Alvin slightly shook Tami's shoulder. The girl reacted with agitated movements but her eyelids reluctantly opened, only her lips muttered out a protest to Alvin for disturbing her deeply.

"Why is it still the night I've been built?" he mumbled lazily.

"This afternoon, it's nine in the morning."

Between conscious and unconscious, Tami tries to digest Alvin's statement. Nine o'clock in the morning continued to be jolted in his ears until he woke up in panic. The glue that had closed both of his eyelids disappeared along with the panic he felt.

"Why don't you wake me up from dawn? I will miss the morning prayer, where I have another morning shif schedule. I've been lectured for free with Sister Salwa."

Tami nagged as she paced around the room looking for the toilet door but never found it. Alvin chuckled, unable to hold back his laughter seeing a dazed Tami circling the room. Tami stopped her steps. Looks like something's wrong. Her thought. He took the phone in his pocket and turned it on.

"Oh, Mas Alvin nyebellin." Tami approached Alvin and hit his arm in annoyance. It turns out it's nine o'clock in the evening, not nine in the morning.

.....

"I'm sorry Tami, I told you nine o'clock in the night that you're sleeping better so I said nine o'clock in the morning."

Tami put her face. He was still upset with Alvin. The view of the capital city is more interesting than seeing the face of Alvin who he thought was very annoying.

"When were you waiting for him?" ask Alvin. Although Tami cuek ducks with his apology, he still tries to get the girl to talk. Trust me, being quiet is not good.

"Lumayan, there are two centuries" Tami replied resentfully. His face was still faithful looking outwards.

"Your impression looks wrinkled."

Hearing the word wrinkles, without babibu Tami's hand immediately landed on Alvin's shoulder. He is most anti with people who say he is old. Alvin pretends to grimace. Although Tami hit him with all her might, but since he was a man, it didn't feel much pain. He deliberately said Tami was wrinkled so that the girl would talk to him even though what he received was a blow. His wife seems to be involved in the search for thugs in the city of Pontianak. Brutal plus sadistic.

"Oh, you are sadistic about being a girl. KDRTin mulu's husband."

"Who told me not to get wrinkled" Tami said cynically. Arrgh, his mood was completely shattered today.

"Next time I don't want one more car with you. I may not reach my destination, even to the hospital as a result of being a victim of your violence."

Tami does not want to give up, as long as he is still able to retaliate then he will not give up just like that. "Who wants a car with you?" he said with his lips slanted.

"The friend who wants me to go to the car with you because of the rain this morning. Mom doesn't want her favorite daughter-in-law why. Because of your fever at that time, Mamah became a parnoan. You're sick because I'm a bitch."

Tami shuddered with an expression like a nauseous person. "Didih, really bad. I have a fever because I miss you, I know, not because I teased you."

"But why ask for my hug?"

"That's.that's..." Tami was at a loss for words. Suddenly his smart brain feels dead. Her cheeks also blushed. Aih, shy goat Tami

"That, what?" press Alvin while raising his eyebrows.

After a few seconds, his brain found the right answer. "That's because every time I have a fever my mother always hits me. Besides, I didn't have to cuddle at the time."

"Yes, yes."

Alvin chose to give up. Just this time he met a woman who, by the way, sounded like a firecracker. The atmosphere returned to silence after an unimportant debate. Alvin re-opened the conversation after finding the right topic.

"So why didn't you call me 'Ta?"

Tami turned to the side, looking at Alvin who was solemn behind the wheel. "Call who? Call Spiderman to pick me up?Your phone number is just I don't have one" he said.

"Yes, already. You keep my number, keep your number on my phone, who knows you will need to be hugged again." teased Alvin.

"Ora sudi." sizzled Tami. He was really furious with Alvin because he continued to discuss the matter of hugging when he had a high fever.

"More." Alvin handed the flat rectangular object to Tami. Lazily Tami reached him.

"Don't forget your phone number. Don't ask another man to hug."

"Ih, why do I have a husband as thick as you." Tami grumbled.

"No man sucks as hard as me. Aye, right?" Alvin raised his eyebrows up. I don't know why he was so happy to tease Tami. There is a pleasure in seeing Tami's red face. The seduced added grumbling annoyed.

Tami was stunned to see the wallpaper on Alvin's phone.In the wallpaper Alvin smiled happily with Karina beside him showing off their engagement ring. They look so happy and harmonious. If Tami were to return to her family after Alvin and Karina tied the sacred promise, she would not be caught in this unwanted bond today. He will never see many hearts that will be wounded including the heart of someone who has been entrusted to him. This marriage is happy for many people, but at the same time this marriage will hurt many parties.

From the beginning of the ark which began with the sky-shaking ijab qabul has only one purpose. To attain the pleasure of Allah in bringing happiness to the world and to the Hereafter. But if the captain is still entangled in the chains of the past, then the ark oscillates in the ocean. The storm is ready to hit and destroy the ark before it reaches its destination. Even the ark that has reached the island of dreams will be destroyed in a storm if up to two people who united could not dispel the storm because it did not prepare a solid fortress. So satan's party because his great mission had been accomplished, bringing two of Adam's grandchildren to hear the hammer in court. Will the ark that still rests in this harbor make the devil celebrate once again his success? Nah!They both have practiced the sunnah of the Prophet by perfecting half the religion, lest this half of the religion that has been perfect is destroyed just because it is unable to resist the devious plan of the devil.

This marriage confusion must end immediately. Tami Tekad.
