Aqidah Love
Continued or Disconnect

The time showed at four in the afternoon, it was time for Fatiya and the other employees to return home.

All of Fatiya's friends have left the showroom parking area owned by Angga, leaving only Fatiya alone who is still waiting to be picked up by Daniel.

"Waiting for an invitation, Ma'am Fafa?" ask security who is on guard.

"Yes, Sir. Perhaps, he was stuck in traffic" Fatiya replied, looking at the clock on his right wrist.

"Sir, Sorry in advance if I was presumptuous," said the security. "Indeed, Ma'am Fafa is seriously the same as Mbak's non-Muslim girlfriend?" tanyanya.

Fatiya frowned. "Kok, you ask like that?"

"It's nothing, Ma'am. As far as I know, Ms. Fafa was obedient to worship. So I think, Mbak Fafa also must be as loud and obedient as Mbak," the security reply, which makes Fatiya again tingled the mother's speech.

"Sir, getting married is not just about how we can accept differences from a partner, but also how we can unite the vision in building a household."

"Speaking about the vision, religion will be one of the considerations and be a determining aspect. Who will follow whose religion. Because it's not just our religion that forbids, even the government prohibits interfaith marriage."

"And one thing is fundamental, that the matter of faith cannot be made a toy. The foundation of the family will also be built by faith and poured out through religious teachings. So, before deciding to marry a candidate who is not a believer, should think back carefully so that there are no regrets later on," the light of security that was the age of Fatiya's parents was long.

Fatiya fell silent, as well as the security officer who was still standing beside Fatiya, the middle-aged man fell silent.

Love cannot be guessed, when it comes and who it will be anchored to. Fatiya had loved someone who turned out to have a lot of differences.

Not only differences in character, but also different beliefs. However, because Fatiya and Daniel are already in love, their relationship continues.

Now, as the two of them began to think about stepping into a more serious level, only then did the confusion arise.

'Everything that Mr. Rozak said has a point, ' Fatiya murmured inwardly.

"Mbak, if according to my vision earlier, Muda Tuan friend Mbak Didi who bought a car seems to have a crush on Fafa Mbak," said the security unraveled the silence.

"Ah, you could have, joking," said Fatiya. "Where is it possible, sir, a big businessman like the Young Master was in love with sales like me," added Fatiya who finally knew the identity of the Young Master from the whispers of his friends earlier, the hijab girl chuckled softly.

Fatiya considered, what security said was just a joke. Though the security officer in the showroom owned by Angga said as he saw this morning, when Fatiya and Tuan Muda was met in an unintentional way.

"Bak Fafa laughed instead." Security is frowning. "I speak in accordance with the reality that I see, Ma'am. I am old and I can see what the eyes of a man in love look like, Ma'am" he explained.

"Yes, anyway, Ma'am. Pujangga said that love does not know caste," he added, which made Fatiya increasingly chuckle.

"Not that, Pujangga said that we should hold the world, sir?" tanya Fatiya quoted an old song sung by the late Abiem Ngesti.

"Oh, yes, Ma'am," the security replied with a smile. Security then sang an old song that ever hits in his time, even still remembered to this day in the hearts of his lovers.

'I am a man who has no

But slalu blazes

Let me talk about storms and waves

Or a towering mountain'

'The poet said

Hold the world

So that life is not free

The light is intense'

'Every breath was accompanied by prayer

Rise up my soul my citation and concerted steps

Then I snapped I realized daydreaming

I've actually been a long way' by now'

Fatiya was also engrossed in singing the song Grasping the World, an old song released in the nineties even before the beautiful girl was born into the world. The song remains familiar in the ears of Fatiya because in the angkot he rides every day, often play religious songs of the children.

Fatiya stopped her singing preoccupation that for a moment could forget her heartbreak, given her love affair with a young man who had different beliefs and aqidahs, when the girl dimpled saw the car of the lover enter the parking area of the showroom Angga and stop right near Fatiya.

"Sir, Fafa came home first, yes," said Fatiya politely. "Thank you for the advice of the Father," added Fatiya.

"Asssalamu'alaikum, sir," said greeting Fatiya, who immediately rushed into Daniel's car while waving to Mr. Rozak, security at Angga's car showroom.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," replied Mr. Rozak accompanied Daniel's car which moved slowly leaving the showroom parking area.

Daniel honked, as a sign of a farewell to the security.

"I'm sorry, if you've been waiting a long time. There was a little extra work from the boss, because Boss Thomas suddenly had to go home early" Daniel said shortly after the car drove down the capital's highway.

The young man behaved normally to the lover, although Daniel received a video message from Fatiya with a handsome young man, from a good friend of Fatiya. Fatiya's lover was not disturbed by the video.

"Boss Thomas' wife wants to give birth, she said" Daniel continued.

Fatiya nodded her head. "Correctly, earlier Mr. Didi and Mr. Angga also rushed home," said Fatiya.

Silent, momentarily greeting the cabin of Daniel's sedan.

"Well, can Fafa ask you something?" The soft voice of Fatiya unraveled the silence.

"Hem, what is it, brother?" asked Daniel who glimpsed at Fatiya, the young man then refocused himself on the creeping road.

A typical view of the streets of the capital in the afternoon, when everyone is competing to be able to immediately arrive at their respective homes and gather with their beloved families.

"What was the reason Bang Daniel wanted to convert?" ask Fatiya carefully, because this is a very principle problem and Fatiya does not want to offend anyone.

Daniel let out a long sigh before answering Fatiya's question, like there was a heavy burden squeezing his chest. "Because I love you, brother and because that's the only way we can continue this relationship to the marriage stage" Daniel explained honestly.

"When we get married, will Bang Daniel embrace a new faith or return to his original faith?" fatiya asked.

"Come, Sister. I haven't thought that far" replied Daniel.

"Sorry Bang, shouldn't we have started to think about that including how our children's parenting patterns will be?" ask Fatiya.

Daniel chuckles. "Why do you think it's that far, brother. Children are easy, yet still far away and we can think later while walking."

"Can, later they want to follow my family's beliefs or your family's beliefs, for me it doesn't matter." Daniel spoke so lightly, making Fatiya's heart increasingly worried, between continuing or breaking up.
