Heartbroken

At dusk, Yusuf was invited by Bowo to the mosque, to perform the mgahrib prayer service. After praying and dhikr, Mr. Bowo had gone out of the mosque and saw Kenzo who was also to the mosque.

"Ken." call Mr. Bowo.

"Eh, yes Pakde?" Kenzo.

"You're gonna have a show out, aren't you?"

"InshaaAllah later ba'da isya' anyway, Ken there are guests, school friends Pakde, he said to play at home. What's the matter, sir?"

"Father. Here, there was a friend Tiara, who turned out his mother was still the same sodara budemu. Yes, if later his friend Tiara is not comfortable staying overnight at the house of Pakde, because there is a girl, right, for example, he slept in your house how? He's a very caring man" said Mr. Bowo.

"Oh, yes gapapa pakde. Yusuf to pakde?" ask Kenzo.

"You know him?" ask Mr. Bowo.

"Yes just know Sih pakde, was fitting prayer, Ken met with him."

"Yes wis, if I may, then sir said the same to Yusuf."

"Packde." replied Kenzo.

"Well, if you want to go home, go home. Pakde is still waiting for Yusuf" said Mr. Bowo.

"Ready sir. Ken excuse me sirde, Assalamualaikum" said Kenzo while kissing the back of his de pak's hand politely.

While in the mosque, Yusuf was still solemn with his long do'a, and stirred all tastes to the owner of the taste.

"Yes Allah.Why should this be the story? I love Pearl so much, but why is she my brother? Why is she my mother? What does all this mean, God?" joseph to the owner of the Heart with tears.

"O Allah, if this is the story, I am only your despicable servant. I can what? The soul mate is you who set it, but why when I feel in love, it should run aground because of a family bond? Why is Allah. Please strengthen this heart so that I can accept this reality. Give me patience, so that I can still be faithful waiting for my true soul mate." said Joseph again.

After feeling enough with the burden on him, Joseph finished his prayer and he closed with Ummul alphatiah. Then Joseph got up from his seat and came out of the mosque, thinking his uncle had gone home first, apparently not. Mr. Bowo is still faithfully waiting on the terrace.

"Assalamualaikum pakde." greet Yusuf while kissing the back of Mr. Bowo's hand.

"Wa'alaikumsalam nak Yusuf. Did he pray?"

"Already sir?"

"MaashaaAllah, sirde is proud of you son. Today there is still a young man who, when he was heartbroken, complained to his robb." said Mr. Bowo, patting Joseph on the shoulder, and Joseph was astonished.

"What do you mean, sir?" joseph asked nervously.

"Pakde knows, you mean come to Tiara's house for what. No other and no, if a virgin, comes to a girl's house with her parents, it's not just a friendship. Unless there's some other intent." said Mr. Bowo with a shady smile. Joseph simply bowed in shame while enduring the pain in the recesses of his heart. Wanted to cry, but he felt it inappropriate for a man to cry.

"Actually, you love my daughter don't you?" asked Mr. Bowo who managed to make Joseph look up to look at the elderly face, but it looks clean glowing.

"Pakde knows son. But, what else? The truth cannot be denied" said Mr. Bowo.

"Hm... Maybe we are not fooled" said Yusuf trying hard.

Mr. Bowo smiled, though,

"May son Joseph soon find a better soul mate than Tiara ya."

"Oya nak Yusuf, if you wish to spend the night at the house of Pakde, rest at the house of Ken, his cousin Mutiara's sister. You know him, right?"

"Ken? Who is pakde?" Yusuf's brows frowned, not understanding.

"Kenzo's. Ken said, he knows you."

"Oh yeah maybe he knows me, but I don't understand sir."

"Yes already, then take you there. Let your mother sleep in the house of sirde, let go of longing as your old friend. Gapapa? Tomorrow afternoon, you and your mother will take part in Tiara's graduation ceremony" Bowo said.

"Good pakde. InshaaAllah."

Joseph and Mr. Bowo returned home, and when they got home, they were greeted by their mother and Pearl to be invited to dinner together. After the prayer, as planned, Joseph followed Mr. Bowo to Kenzo's house for the night. While mother Rahma helped Miss Hindun prepare dishes to welcome her guests tomorrow afternoon.

It was a long night for Joseph. He can't sleep in Kenzo's room yet. While Kenzo is still busy chatting with his old friend. Actually, Kenzo invited Joseph to participate in the conversation, but Joseph felt uneasy, so he chose to be in the room, while trying to arrange his heart that was broken into pieces. This was the first time Joseph felt such a heartbreak. Because in the deepest part of his heart, there is a mounting hope, to be able to make the Heart Pearl halal for him. Joseph recalled the same time they took shelter, and the Pearl did not embrace Joseph. The feeling came back, there was a sigh in his body, and a pain in his left chest. Truly, this was very painful for Joseph, who was stopped for a while without being able to continue to strive to reach the Pearl in his heart. Suddenly a call came in.

📞Dad

"Hello, father assalamualaikum."

'Wa'alaikumsalam Suf. You're still in Solo?'

"Yes yeah."

'So my father called your mother, said the mother, you are upset, because my hope ran aground.aoa it is true?'

"Hm, God has other plans well" said Joseph limp.

'Don't give up son, you're a good boy, I'm sure, behind all this there will be a silver lining. Pearls are not your soul mate. She is your mother. And I am sure, God has provided the best soul mate for you.'

"Hum..."

'Joseph, I never demanded more of you. I just want you to smile happily. Your age is ready for marriage, and what you have been looking after all this time, has been answered Then, father's advice, open your heart to another woman, which makes you feel comfortable. If you've found her, tell Atai's father immediately, we'll take care of her immediately to follow up.'

"Yes yeah."

'Don't be sad, God is with us.' said his father Joseph.

"Yes yeah."

'Sleep, force yourself to sleep, lest you fall asleep, it will make you tired and sick later.' advised his father Joseph.

"Yes yeah."

'Yes already. It's been a long time ago Suf. keep the spirit. Don't grieve.'

"InshaaAllah yah."

After that, the call was interrupted, Joseph recalled his father's message. Again he recalled the time he was with Mutiara working on the LPJ and some proposals and some organizational files related to the LDK. Since Joseph no longer serves as the chairman of the LDK, the relationship between Pearl and Joseph had been vacuum. Until finally Yusuf graduated, they just losh contac.

"Bismillah. Yusuf, strong. Tomorrow you will meet the man who will accompany him. Strong Suf, strong!" joseph said to encourage himself. Then he lay on the bed, while opening his phone, to open his sosmed open.
