"Love is only to Allah and His Messenger, not to His creatures. If you love someone you must be in God's name, love for God's sake, that is the true nature of love."
"One more thing, that liking is not purely from our own heart or feelings. The heart belongs to God, if God has made our heart like someone then God wants to test the strength of our love for Him, can we put love for God first or prefer to put our love for His being first."
Dina told him a long story about the true meaning of love.
"What do I feel is a test of God?"
"It could be ca."
"As far as you think I should be, Din, I fear that what I am feeling now exceeds the love of God."
Icha asked for an opinion from her best friend.
"Like it should not be fertilized like a plant that thrives if we continue to take care of it. Always remember God with all his greatness.God willingly you will slowly begin to forget, and you must be sure that the soul mate will never be changed, he said, because God set it long before we were born in this world love does not guarantee everything, but God guarantees everything to be easy."
"That means the point now is that we should focus on ourselves and not think about something that God has set first."
Dina greeted him with a smile as a good friend they would always remind him if his best friend is negligent, affirm if his best friend is wrong, and defend if his best friend is right.
Now is not the time to think about love and feelings, focus on learning as well as yourself and do not think or look for something that God has determined before.
...****************...
By morning, the atmosphere had turned cooler and more beautiful. Preparation for the exam has been so carefully prepared by those students who will do the final semester exam in formal classes or alim classes. Not to forget also the tahfidz class of Quran, essentially all students or students will carry out the test simultaneously.
Two small boxes were on both hands.
Icha still keeps it and has not opened it at all, both are valuable items because he got from both people who mean in his life.
"City....."
someone called him from the outside.
"Yes a minute."
icha replied, turning his face towards the door, he put the two gifts back in his closet.
"Come ca, the exam's gonna start soon."
scream that guy again and it's Dina.
"Yes Dina for a minute I want to get ready first."
After he kept the two items prepared immediately went out to meet his best friend who was waiting for him.
"I'm sorry, long wait."
he said when he was outside with Dina. Dina just had her slightly upset breath.
"Oh yeah, where's Anna?"
asked the girl who had not met the two of them before.
"They're ahead, their exam hours are faster than ours."
Icha just nodded a sign of understanding.
They also stepped with the equation to their respective classes.
There is already a Nahwa Ustadzah as a homeroom teacher who also became their test supervisor on the first day. Icha looks so deft when he wants to answer the questions on the exam paper. It didn't take long, the girl had quickly finished all her exam questions. Before the leaf was given to the homeroom teacher, the girl first checked the exam paper.
"Annisa, are you done?"
ask ustadzah Nahwa while watching him.
"It's ustadzah."
answer Icha do not be full of smiles. Icha then gave the answer sheet to the Ustadzah Nahwa and after that he was allowed to leave the class.
Every answer sheet that has been shared and finished checking, Icha always gets the highest value in its class. No one is able to compete with his intelligence in that class, even the class champion must succumb and the existence of Ica in that class. Even so, Icha never listened to his head when getting a lot of praise than his classmates, he always humbled himself and shared knowledge with those who did not understand.
Above the sky there is still the sky, above you there is still another smarter and smarter than you And be yourself like rice, the more fruitful it will be the more down, the more down, like a man with knowledge the higher his knowledge he will be more tawadhu.
"Alhamdulillah ya ca, finally our exams have been completed, just wait for the end result."
dina said as they were sitting at a leisurely pace in the pesantren garden.
"Yes Din, I'm also relieved, but I also deg-degan about how much I value?"
"If that's calm, God willing, you will get good value."
"Amen."
sahut Icha who assures the words of his friend.
"Assalamualaik."
as they were talking, the other two friends came to them.
"Getishalight."
answer both at the same time.
"Two of them talk. Don't jump?" sindir Ika's.
"Tau tuh mentang mentang soon will return to the village."
timpal Anna also did not want to lose.
"Yaudah, here sit down and chat do not need to be angry." said Dina.
They finally regrouped after several busy weeks with their respective exam activities. Now there is a break to get back together and spend time together.
"Our time to get together like this is only a few weeks away. After that we'll split up and go back to each other's place."
I began to open the conversation.
"Where are you all going?"
ask Icha with her harrow face.
"This is our last year here Brother, after this Ika will return to Makassar. Ika will teach there Brother." replied Rifka.
"Setting your age is still young ka, there is still plenty of time for you to learn again."
"Ika's learning time in this pesantren is over, Brother. So it's time to be wise there and if Ika wants to learn again maybe Ika will study there."
Ika replied with a face that tried to smile.
"Anna's leaving too?" ask Icha to the girl next to him.
Anna nodded with a smile.
"Anna wants to go back to Aceh, because 2 years ago Anna did not return to Aceh."
"Keep Anna will not return to this boarding school?"ask Icha again.
"If it is, Anna can not be sure ca, because the same Umi Abi Anna already has its own program for reciting the Quran Anna. Maybe Anna will continue to study there" he replied again.
"Why are you all going? and Dina wants to go too?"
icha's vegetable gaze leads to his other friend.
"Dina is indeed a person here anyway ca, so Dina will not go anywhere. Dina will be an immortal santri here."
Hearing the answer from Dina slightly relieved his heart.
