Asiyah End Times
The Second Match Candidate

Qadarullah wa maa syaa a fa'ala. A man's soul mate, sustenance and death only God knows. Only God has the right to all things.

Man can only plan his every effort. Man can only strive to realize his every dream. Good and bad are hidden, only Allah is All-Knowing.

The destiny of God cannot be denied. Time cannot be reversed. The fallen leaves cannot return to their branches. Everything is by the will of Allah Azza Wa Jalla.

No substance can match Him. The power of God over the destiny of every human race was established by Him fifty thousand years before the heavens and earth were created.

No exception to the fate of the girl shalihah. Asiyah.

No one expected the journey of Asiyah's life to be this complicated. It all began when Asiyah was left dead by her ashes. At once his life seemed to be turned upside down. Asiyah lost the luxury that turned into a simplicity that was quite alarming.

But Asiyah must keep trying hard and stand on her own feet in undergoing all kinds of trials of life. With God who always accompanies his footsteps. This is all He did for Umi and her sisters. Asiyah loved them very much.

Not yet here. The search for his life partner did not go well. There was an unwanted disturbance. Even more than that, disappointment and heartbreak with the situation has been repeatedly experienced.

Asiyah returned home empty-handed.

His hope to be able to get married soon to the chosen mate Ustadz Hamdal, extinct already.

But all this did not dampen his intention to get married immediately. Asiyah continued to strive and continue to insist on Allah for all the wisdom He would get from everything that had happened in his life.

The journey home was so exhausting. They are very lethargic. Asiyah and her three partners seemed to have lost their spirit. Which at first excited, now like the loss of their lives.

"Assalamu'alaykum Umi," Asiyah arrived at her house. Umi had been waiting for them in front of the living room door, sitting with Aisyah and Ali in the front porch seat of the house. At once Asiyah ran towards Umi. Looking at Umi's face up close, with his gloom. Hugged Umi tightly. Unable to hold back his tears.

"Permy... Asiyah failed again to get married immediately," the soft words full of disappointment came out from Asiyah's mouth. Asiyah let go of her embrace. The tears were dramatic.

"It's okay, son, it's a sign that Asiyah is not the man of choice Ustadz Hamdal, God loves Him more Son, Asiyah sincere, yes" said Umi, trying to calm her daughter. Holding Asiyah's face, rubbing her tears.

Caca, Cita and Pak Nomo could only stand behind Asiyah with her gloomy face.

Aisyah and Ali looked at Kak Asiyah sadly. It was Aisyah who wiped her tears slightly.

"Ayoo Nak we enter, there is a long wait for Asiyah inside" said Umi.

Asiyah. "Who's Mi?" ask Asiyah.

"Umi also did not know, he said he wanted to talk to Umi about something important, but he wanted to wait for Asiyah first he said," explained Umi.

"Oohh.. Why Mi?" Asiyah wondered again.

They all went into the house.

There was a man standing when he saw the arrival of Asiyah.

How surprised Asiyah was when she saw a well-dressed man standing before her.

Who's yaa? Asiyah did not know him.

"Sir Asiyah? The umi? Ali just remembered, like this is Oom who invited Ali to eat ice cream right back home from school at that time deh, who went to the mall Kak," Ali said.

The whole house is silent. He looked at Ali, then looked at the man.

The man opened his reading glasses. She slightly styled her hair until it looked a little muddled. Apparentlya.. That guy?

Caca joked, "It's unexpected."

"Is it possible to send the doll and also the bloody rose as well Mr Joints?" ask Cita in her whisper to Caca.

"It could be Cit, because Mr. Jendi lately does look strange," replied Caca.

"Tuhh kaann, Aisyah has said that before, Aisyah like she had seen Oom who picked up Ali at school at that time Kak, it was true, his friend Kak Asiyah," said Aisyah, with an unstoppable upset.

Mr. Jendi smiled looking at Asiyah's face. "How is Asiyah, we have not seen each other for a long time" he said with a cynical but sweet smile.

"Sir Joints? Since when has this been?" Asiyah beckoned with her hand about Pak Jendi's appearance which changed drastically.

"Since.... I realized, that I should have established myself to be your life partner Asiyah," explained Mr. Jendi.

"There is no way Mr. Jendi, did you not already have a wife and children?" asked Asiyah immediately in shock.

They were all still standing in the room. Very tense in the current situation.

"That child is not my son Asiyah, that wicked woman set me up to marry Him, because she was pregnant with another man when our marriage took place, but He doesn't know who the father of the child is" explained Mr. Jendi, dramatically.

"And I have divorced him Asiyah," continued Mr. Jendi, slowly.

Hhmmmm.. Joints smiled. Distracting the pain from her past stories.

The entire room was again stunned by that statement.

"Let's sit down first, let's talk with a cool head, with a calm heart huha," Umi asked. Trying to melt the cold atmosphere of the north polar ice.

They all will be asked by Umi.

Asiyah sat down with Umi, as well as Ayesha and Ali. Caca and Cita sat together, while Mr. Nomo was next to Mr. Jendi. They sat around the living room table.

"Well please Mr. Jendi, what you want to talk about earlier," asked Umi with Mr. Jendi.

"Just go to the root of the problem, Umi, Iaa. intends to propose Asiyah to be my wife" said Mr. Sendi, briefly.

The whole room was silent. Astounded.

"If I, frankly, how Asiyah is Mr. Jendi, if Asiyah agrees, then we must immediately carry out the marriage contract, he said, so that no shethan will take advantage of the gap in free time for both of you," explained Umi.

"Isn't that so, son?" Umi asked Asiyah. Staring into his eyes.

"Yes Umi" answered Asiyah.

Mr. Jendi was still staring at Asiyah's face, expectantly.

Umi understood Mr. Joints gaze. "So how son, did Asiyah accept Pak Jendi's proposal?" ask Umi. Looking at Asiyah's face. Holding the hand of Asiyah who was sitting next to him. Grasping tightly the hand of the firstborn.

"I asked for a first time, one month, to get to know Mr. Jendi a little, also to convince myself more to accept Mr. Jendi as my husband," explained Asiyah. Slowly. His voice is soft. His gaze just looked down from earlier.

Umi smiled at the answer coming out of Asiyah's mouth. That is, there is still hope for his son to get married soon. Could it be that Asiyah's soul mate is Pak Jendi? A widower who divorced his wife? A man who willingly steadied himself for the sake of his holy daughter?

Umi has resigned. Whoever Asiyah's soul mate will be. I hope this is the best God has given me. As long as Asiyah can be happy, Umi has sincerely released her.
