There's No Saying Dear

Awake Already

That afternoon, precisely in the campus cafeteria, the five friends were gathering while waiting for orders to come. Kiyai was there too.

"Well, your ring is so nice, like the old ring," Alexa said.

The three companions looked at the fingers of the Light. Mr. Kiyai too, saw the ring that was on the ring finger of Light.

"Don't the engagement ring, huh?" guess Rai.

"Not just buy in the store, just look, there are many, really" said Light.

"Eh ..gimana, Le, have met the person you were telling us about at the time" said Light, switching the conversation.

"Yes, the day before," he said in a soft tone.

"Then?" ask Fafa.

"Looks like God sent him for me."

"What was your first impression, when you met him, Le?" ask Williams.

"My heart hasn't fully accepted it yet, but I'll try."

"If it's her son, would you agree to your marriage?" ask Fafa.

"His little girl, she really liked the first time she saw me, maybe she didn't know what it meant. Unlike the first one, he has not been able to accept me. He said the figure of the mother will not be replaceable and he also will not want to call me mother!" said Alexa.

"Le, don't be sad if the first one hasn't been able to accept you. And for that figure of mother ..no one can replace, that's true as well. Because when my father decided to remarry, I couldn't accept my stepmother either. But we as children cannot be selfish. And honestly, at that time I also could not call her mother but because my father forced me to be yes, how else," said Light.

"But Le still has another call. Brother, or Teteh. It's better, I hope you don't mind calling like that, Le!" light said, Alexa was silent.

"Truly, Le, said Light. Know it? The cave married again because of divorce. And they have two children. They have a good divorce, the relationship is good now, with his ex-wife. When his ex-wife married. He and his ex agreed. If his children do not call father and mother to their spouse. They decided to call his son om, for his stepfather, while for his stepmother they called his sister. The role of mother and father cannot be replaced. So you don't get discouraged, if you don't call her mom, mom or something else" Williams said, Alexa began to understand that she couldn't force her will.

"Maybe it's time I told you about my love story" Rai said, with a lethargic face. Rai hopes with him to tell her he can, like Alexa who gets a little relief.

"As I said back then, my love story, back with Ale's love story!" The four friends are still loyal with the continuation that Rai will say again. Mr. Kiyai is the same."If Ale, gets approved then I don't get the blessing of the parents. I don't know what made them dislike my girlfriend. I'm so confused can Mr. Kiyai give you any advice?"

Mr. Kiyai thought for a moment, it looks like Rai's love story is more difficult than Alexa's love story. Rai looked at Pak kiyai, did pak kiyai not have an answer with the question that aired it.

Mr. Kiyai took a breath, then threw it away slowly, before speaking. "Son Rai, it seems like your love story is very difficult ..."

" But in every problem there is a way out. Try asking your parents well, son. Why they don't like your girlfriend. There must be a reason. And all I know is that parents want their kids to get the best." Rai was speechless, according to him her lover was the right person.

"I thought that my choice was the best for me, Mr. Kiyai!" said Rai, kiyai sir who heard that smiled at Rai.

"Son Rai, can I have an opinion?" asked mr. kiyai, who answered a nod by Rai. .

"Then it's time for you to convince yourself, if your lover is really good for you. If you are steady, then the next stage you have to fight and convince your parents. I wish you all the best, son!" said mr. kiyai.

...***...

Looks like this love story won't end with just Rai.

"Pak Kiyai what does Pak Kiyai think of the love of different religions? Is that wrong?" asked Williams, who made everyone look at her.

"Is this your love story, son?" ask mr. kiyai, who was asked just silence.

"Why are you asking me about that, son. Are you sure I can answer that?"

"If Alexa and Rai alone can answer it with Mr. Kiyai's point of view, why not from me?"

"The answer is not wrong" said Mr. Kiyai, who made Williams think. Why is the answer so short .

"You're asking me what I think about love in different religions, right?" asked mr. kiyai, who answered a nod of the head.

"Then, I said no wrong, so why are you such a confused person, son?" ask mr. kiyai, right also thought Williams.

"Sir Kiyai please answer,"

Mr. Kiyai began to think for a moment it took him a long time to think. The order has been coming since Rai told me that afternoon. But the five friends did not care about the food. They care more about his future, it seems so.

"The name of love is never wrong, because the heart chooses. If you love people whose beliefs are different from ours, it is also not wrong. Your question is just love of different religions, son, nothing else. So that's my answer."

"What does Mr. Kiyai think about people who are willing to convert because of love?" ask Williams again.

"I think if you want to change the religion ..it should be from the deepest steadiness of the heart. If someone wants to convert, move on the basis of wanting to learn, do not move because your loved ones religion A, you have to follow A. Though the name of the relationship there will be a phase where you are not okay, there can be misunderstandings. Especially until divorce, if someone is willing to change religion because of the person he loves. But in the midst of the chaos of his household, they decided to divorce. Surely the convert will blame the religion he embraced at that time. So ...if you want to move a belief not because of someone else, but because of the heart and the intention to learn about that religion."

"It seems I also have to tell stories and want to hear the opinion of Mr. Kiyai and tell about my love story," said Fafa, who was silent and just spoke up. The four of them waited for Fafa to start telling stories, mr. kiyai also listened.

"I love someone but that person loves someone else. I know my love is unrequited" he said, the four friends do not believe that Fafa who talks like a radio is broken. It turns out he has that side.

"Sir Kiyai, answer my question?" said Fafa, because Mr. Kiyai never spoke up.

actually this love story he had experienced the Light before.

"The word love person should not have, son" said pak kiyai, who was answered with a nod of his head by the four.

Mr. Kiyai began to speak again. " But if a soul mate can have a son, if he is your soul mate, God will unite you in any way. There are many ways God unites and unites His people with his spouse, in the way God wants. Maybe God, also prepare a soul mate for you. Either it's a new person, or one who has filled your heart this time. If you believe you can be with him, ask God to give you a clue, son! If he really was your soul mate, he would be together."
