(Not) Layla Majnun
Mosaic 91

#Aryan Dharma

It turned out this afternoon before going to Umi's room. Layla has met Abah. I missed that momentum. I don't know how Abah reacted when he first saw the candidate. Amin Ya Alloh's. Just a prospective ghost! Speech is prayer, right?

Sarip knows this. Sarip who recounts this special event.

Abah was in the middle room. Just went for a walk around the house with Sarip. He really likes to go around seeing the condition of the place he will live. Moreover, East Dhalem which we currently occupy has many changes since the last he stayed here.

"Change what, Rio... Is he smiling. Happy with Layla? How did he react?!" I was immediately excited when Sarip said that Abah met Layla.

"Where is Gus. Just ordinary. Abah shocked. Layla just went in,"

"Well! How'd that mean? How did you come in?"

"Perhaps Layla did not know that in Dhalem there are visitors. So yeah... Just go in. Especially since he was here this morning."

I remember again. Understand too. Layla did the same. He also entered the room without knocking on the door. Making me, Umi and herself both shocked. I just need a few minutes to access my brain if that presence is real. Because lately khamr in the form of Layla really makes me addicted and intoxicating the soul.

"Is that not a smile?" ask again.

"No, Gus" answered Sarip.

"Two inches of cooking, no aunt's interested?" Ask again. Scuffling because I really want to see firsthand Abah's reaction.

"No, Gus. Abah just saw Layla."

"One centi. Must be a smile, even an inch. Lovelight, Rip... She's beautiful, graceful. He is Dharma, that is. Cook Abah not interested."

Sarip.

"If one cent doesn't know either, Gus. Could yes... Can't."

"Byeah, that. Must be a smile, Rip. Try remembering. Must be a smile even an inch."

"How are you, Gus? I can't be sure. I didn't bring a line to shave." Reply with laughter.

"Basic! Can't count on it!" Umpatku because of my curiosity in making jokes.

"But Layla is polite, Kok Gus. He immediately said his greetings after knowing Abah. Subjugating the body and also the view. Ask permission to go to the second floor and make a point of coming." Bright Sarip.

"Layla did the same thing with Umi."

"It just so happens, Gus. What don't-don't_"

"certainly so. A soul mate!" Directly by.

Sarip threw away his face. I was sick because I was too confident.

"Umi how, Gus?"

"immies? It would be me, if umi. He's sumringah look at Layla. He immediately praised Layla if Layla was a polite girl. Umi mah, would agree. Insya..." Answer optimistically.

"Alhamdulillah then. So Abah remained. But, Gus is it okay (YOU) married to an ordinary girl?"

"Layla is no ordinary girl, Rip. Until this moment only Layla can make me like this."

"But he's not, Ning Gus. He's an ordinary santri. Even ordinary girls were not very popular in the cottage. Just ordinary..."

"That's exactly what makes me so sure. If I can guide him later."

"In what way? If the science of religion should be men should know more things than a woman. How will a wife if a man can really guide her, Insya Alloh the woman will understand and understand it too." My light.

"So slow or fast, whatever it takes process. I think it's even more beautiful if later I become one of the people who make my companion better than before. That means I mean something in his life. I played a major role in his journey. If we both understood, it would make well... Tasteless. Will there be no conversation later? There is no debate. Is there anything that makes our relationship more colorful? Because we both understand. Because we understand each other the same thing. Even nauzubillah, if that happens we will walk each other. You are by my duty I am by your duty. It's been. Done."

"But not that soul mate is a reflection of Gus?"

It means the mirror that Sarip means is like Surah An-Nur verse 26 which means "Vile women for vile men, and men are vile to vile women (after all), while women are good to good men and men are good to good women (after all). They're clean of what people accuse."

I let out a breath.

"Then do you think Layla is no good? Or am I the bad one?" my many.

Tense sarip. He stretched his muscles after hearing my question.

"It's not so, Gus. Jenengan Estu pole SAE. Kulo testified (You're really a good person. I was the witness). It's just, is it possible that only Layla can make a genie (you) fall in love. Jenengan believes that Layla can build a household with a genengan (you). The following received sincerely pesantren and also the Dhalem family later?" ask Sarip.

What Sarip wants to get from this question. I see a lot of doubt.

There was no snack to make the two of us more relaxed. We just had dinner too. Just like last night. Sarip and I sat on the second floor balcony. Look at the night sky illuminated by the moon.

"Until now I can't be sure if Layla is my soul mate. Even my relationship with Layla right now is just me feeling. He was the same as we had been since we first met. Knows me like the people around him. Even so, I'm happy. I'm grateful that he's beginning to realize my existence."

My eyes glared at the clouds. Again I found Layla's smile between the night sky.

"It's love for the first time, Rip. This is also the feeling I just felt. I never felt before. That's why sometimes I can't control new things in my life." I continued.

Sarip is still listening. He didn't say anything. He was waiting for the answer to what I asked him.

"About how Allah's destiny will determine. Right now I'm just doing what I'm currently asking to do. I love Layla. Expect him to be a dream lover. That's it,"

"If you think Layla will be troubled and I will be confused because Layla is not a Ning or any other decent santri. That's wrong..."

Sarip widened his eyes. His face showed his surprise.

"Before meeting Layla. Before there is any taste in the chest. I have often repeatedly even every prostration of my prayer I have asked for a soul mate who will be able to walk together in the world and the hereafter. Not only accept me but also accept the family and *****bugnya..."

I chuckled a little to make the atmosphere looser.

"So, if Layla is my soul mate Insya Alloh she is the best of the thousands of names that have been chosen by Allah for me. I believe in my prayers. I also believe in the destiny that God gave me. And of course I believe in my soul mate. Well... Although still dimly lit. But that belief is already ingrained, Rip."

"If such Layla is not a matchmaker, pripun?"

I smile. It hurt when Sarip asked that question. My heart just didn't accept it. Perhaps because of the love that has begun to grow roots in it.

"I'm sincere, Rip. Kudu legowo Karo destiny e pengeran (Must summarize with the destiny of Allah). But right now I'm still trying to ask Layla to be my soul mate. Hehe..."

"May Allah give your best, Gus damel genengan."

"Amin amin. You too,"

Adzan isya' reverberate. We also stopped talking. Immediately go to the ground floor because Abah must have been waiting for pilgrims together at the Dhalem mosque.

About Sarip, maybe he was worried because he also knew what Layla and Andre were doing this afternoon. Surely his heart was hot because Layla was so close to the opposite sex that she openly showed a sense of concern.

Sarip was very caring for me. He's the one who doesn't accept the least if someone hurts me. He was the real shield that was given to me.

Thanks Sarip... Hopefully you can find a good girl and she will accompany you to heaven later. So that you can understand what I feel now.
