We Are Different

Tell a Story of the Past

Along the way Aluna faithfully accompanied Malik to drive. His sleepiness just disappeared because he was so excited to travel with Malik tonight.

Deftly Aluna takes care of all the needs of Malik in the car. Aluna gives Malik drinks and snacks so he does not get sleepy while driving a car.

"Later after we get married this will be more often we do. Especially later we have children and we will go home to your family to bring our children" said Malik.

Aluna's face flushed red imagining the beauty of what Malik had just said. Malik is imagining their future.

"Are you happy?" Ask Malik.

Aluna nodded her head and smiled shyly - embarrassed.

"If I may know why you divorced your husband?" Ask Malik.

"Don't talk about my past it's Lik" Elak Aluna.

"I just want to learn from the failures of your household and I don't want us to experience the same. Can I ask you something like this?" Ask Malik.

Aluna took a deep breath.

"Later I will tell you after we get married" replied Aluna.

"Is it that hard to tell me?" Ask Malik.

"I don't think this is the right time. Later I will tell you everything" replied Aluna.

"Well if that's what you want" said Malik.

Without feeling the time passed Malik and Aluna repeated their nostalgia.

"I remember when I chased you to the village. On the bus I can't wait to get there and see you" Malik said.

"But it's a pity that the next morning when you get to the office you refuse. Though I have come a long way from the City" continued Malik.

"Yes, our relationship was still off limits" replied Aluna.

"I'm so grateful that Al is now our relationship back like this. Even the level is more serious. Keep praying, may our sacred plan run smoothly. And this time there is no more of our barrier" Pinta Malik.

"Aamiya.. Eh you haven't told me how your family responded when you told us about our plan?" Aluna asked curiously.

"Mother was so surprised I could relate to you again. And I welcomed my intentions well. You know who Mom is. Besides you, my mother knows me best. He knows what I want and need without even asking. All this time I gave up because of my father. As a good wife, you never go against what you say" Malik replied.

"Did you tell Mom about my status?" Aluna asked heartfully.

"Of course I told you. I know you are married. And when I expressed my good intentions, I must have asked about your status. And I told you everything. Mother only advised, as long as I am happy she is very happy" said Malik.

Aluna breathed a sigh of relief. One problem they can already be bypassed and solved very well. How will he ask for his mother's blessing.

Actually Aluna was very sure his mother would also say the same thing, just like Malik's mother. It's just that as a good boy he had to ask his Mama's permission with Malik.

"Said Mom later after returning home from your family home. I was told to go home with you" Malik said.

Aluna looked at Malik doubtfully.

"Don't worry, since I converted to Islam a lot has changed in our home. All the families respect my life choices and they know very well which are the boundaries that I can't do" Malik said.

"How did you accept your decision three years ago?" Aluna asked curiously.

"At first it was all Al heavy. He was so angry that he even threatened not to see me as his son again. But I don't care, my decision is already unanimous. I even converted to Islam first I told them" Malik replied.

"You know how hard Father is. He slapped me several times in anger and disappointment at me. Well, I'm the only son of a father - a man but I'm actually laughing at his heart. I know I was wrong about it but I'm pretty sure my decision was right and no one can shake it" Malik said.

"If you are angry, I will come and go home. Even though you kicked me out, I kept coming. Eventually, I got sick and I went home. I took you to the City and I took good care of him. I showed him the tenderness and affection of Islam. Slowly - the land you can see and accept me. But unfortunately until the end of his life I can not invite you to come with me" continued Malik with a sad feeling.

Aluna understood what Malik was feeling.

"Maybe all this has been the way of Allah Lik. Even if they are different, pray because you are his son. Leave everything to Allah" replied Aluna.

"So you want to come to my village?" Ask Malik.

Aluna smiled and nodded her head.

"Regina how are you?" Aluna asked who had arrived - suddenly remembered her sister Malik.

"Well, he's now studying in City A. It's getting older" Malik replied.

Aluna smiled brightly considering her sister Malik. He and Regina used to be familiar and often called each other. Even when Aluna wanted to keep Regina, she contacted him and cried.

She did not want Aluna to marry someone else. But Regina also knew there was no way Aluna and Malik were married at the time.

"Before I got married, Regina called. She cried and asked me to refuse my marriage. He said he felt sorry to see you" Aluna said.

Malik looked in disbelief at Aluna.

"Oh yeah? Gina did that?" Malik asked in surprise.

"Yes but I explained to him that at that time we could not be united. And that is the only way for us to part. Finally she was able to accept it and since I got married we have never had any more contact" Aluna replied.

"Yes because you changed your phone number" Welcomed Malik.

"I had to leave my past behind then Lik. A very hard decision, I live and stay away from family. Take an irresponsible husband. I've been, I will finally be the same story you when I told you that the time is not right" Elak Aluna.

"You're the one who touched on it" said Malik.

"Yes, I was wrong" Aluna said.

"If Gina knew our plan, she would be very happy. Besides Mom, Gina was the second person in the family to support my conversion. He has always been supportive and close to me" Malik said.

Aluna smiled sweetly hearing that.

"Greet Gina yes. Later when - when will I call him" Welcomed Aluna.

"Well, I'm sure glad he is. Especially knowing that you will be his sister-in-law. Her dream is fulfilled" Sahut Malik while smiling part.

Aluna smiled happily as well. Happiness now stands with Aluna and Malik. This long night was as long as their journey. But it doesn't feel like they're going through happiness.
