Young Jurist
205. Meet him
It was late afternoon when Andre arrived home. Eagerly, he took a bath and rushed to the mosque, which was far enough from his home to offer Maghrib prayers. He solemnly prayed, begging for forgiveness because all this time always denied his duty.
Arriving at home, he took the Qur'an that had been museumized in a closet. He tried to read each letter even though he was trained, and lived each meaning.
During his return to make friends with Reyhan, and several times met with women who wore a robe and a wide hijab became one of the drivers of his spirit in deepening religion.
Sometimes God gives us something we don't like, but it's the best for us. And vice versa, God keeps us from something we like, because it brings us evil.
The surrounding environment can also affect the attitude of behavior and actions of a person. It is also very important to choose a friend.
It is not forbidden to be friends with people who lack good attitudes and actions. But if we are less able and afraid to be affected, it would be nice to temporarily stay away first. And if you feel able, then keep praying, may be given a determination on our religion.
An advice says, a person's religion depends on the religion of his friend. Then you should see who you are friends with. (CHR. Ahmed)
And Andre is trying to do that. Closer to good people, in order to contract their positive energy.
He saw a big change in Reyhan, he hoped to be like his friend. While talking to Haji Dahlan, he felt very comfortable.
He gives a lot of advice. And in his presentation very effective. Because it doesn't seem patronizing. Makes Andre feel comfortable. He hopes to meet her again, so he can get more knowledge.
Without feeling it, the day has changed months. Andre slowly turned into more obedient in his beliefs. His voice also sounded better when he read the Qur'an. All of that is not spared from his efforts and hard work.
His parents who saw him always went to the mosque and read the Qur'an are very grateful. Finally, both of his parents also participated in doing the command of God which he had also left behind.
The lack of knowledge, and the absence of awareness in themselves, makes some people do not heed the status of religion in their ID cards like the Andre family. Again, they expressed gratitude for the opportunity to deepen their knowledge.
Seeing both of his late parents always perform worship, making Andre encouraged to give gifts for them.
On a sunny Sunday, Andre went to a mall to buy gifts.
First Andre goes into the book store. He wanted to find references through books. He walked down every hallway, looking for the book he meant.
Because it was too fun to read until his neck was a little cramp. He looked to the left and right to relax.
He accidentally saw a wide-clothed woman beside him. He kept watching her while trying to remember her.
After Andre found the book he was looking for, he rushed to follow the woman until the two were now queuing at the cashier.
"Sorry, I paid for the book" Andre later said. Which made the cashier and the woman turn at the same time towards Andre.
He smiled at the woman who was looking at him in wonder.
"Add this to me." Andre handed some books over at the cashier's desk.
"Thank you for paying for my groceries" said the woman when Andre had paid and now the two were running parallel.
"Sama-sama Rosyidah." replied Andre.
"Do you know my name?"
Andre nodded while throwing a smile.
"May I ask you a favor?"
"As long as I can I'll help."
"The company I'm looking for for Mukena for my mother. I want to give a gift to my mother, but I don't know how women taste. I'm afraid it doesn't fit."
He was moved to hear Andre's explanation. For him the man who gave gifts to his parents, must be a devoted child. If he had a wife, he would be responsible.
His mind went straight to Reyhan. Because his ashes often tell. And he even saw it for himself.
'Astaghfirullah, he already has a wife. I can't keep thinking about it. Move on rosyidah.' her inner self-suggests.
The two then walked together to a store that sold Muslim equipment. Andre continued to follow Rosyidah when he was busy choosing Mukena.
His mind focused on the woman and forgot his main goal. Until finally Rosyidah turned around while carrying a set of beautiful green sage mukena with floral embroidery on the edges.
"Mas, I think this is beautiful."
"Eh, i_iya just take it. I'll pay for it." said Andre with a smile.
"Chook, just take it? Didn't you just say you wanted to buy it for mom?"
Andre immediately scratched his head because of a wrong word.
"Em, I mean, if you like, you can double with my mom, I see."
Rosyidah smiled and refused. Not that he wanted to refuse sustenance, but because of his arrogance. Just met a man already bought like that. He asserted in his heart that she was not a matre woman.
But Andre who has been sympathetic with Rosyidah firmly to buy the same face. Andre immediately walked up to the employee and asked for the same 2 faces.
After he approached Rosyidah again, he wanted to ask her to find a sarong and kemko pattern suitable for his father. Rosyidah finally came back to help him.
After getting what they were looking for, the two walked together to the parking lot. Andre offered to help with bringing Rosyidah home. But it was forced to refuse, because it had brought its own vehicle.
"I'm so hungry, can you accompany me to a meal?"
Andre deliberately looking for reasons to be close to Rosyidah. His intention was already unanimous to be able to get Sholihah's wife like Reyhan's.
Though actually Andre is still quite full, because before leaving, he had spent 3 dishes of rice with sauteed vegetables mushrooms.
"Did I not harm you? I paid for my groceries."
"The man must be responsible. It's impossible to get a woman to pay for everything. Comeon?" Andre pulled Rosyidah's hand immediately on the edge.
"Sorry mas. We're not muhrim."
Andre patted his eel realizing his error, being too excited.
"We are not muhrim? Then there's hope that we can become muhrim?" turn Andre over while smiling.
Rosyidah realized his mistake in speaking.
"Sorry." Rosyidah lowered her head.
"Neverything, come on, my stomach has been rumbling." said Andre, and fittingly with his stomach that suddenly sounded so loud that Rosyidah also heard it.
