Auristela (Mu'Alaf Beautiful)
Ragu

A week has passed since Auri ventured into the Shahadah. Now he has become a Muslim. He was driven from his family. His father even removed his name from the family list.

"Yes strong Neng Auri!" Enterur Memei, the coach of santri wati in Pesantren where Auri lived after becoming mu'alaf.

"I'm scared, madam. I don't have any family anymore." Reveal Auri while crying.

"Calm down, Neng. Kiai Ahmad's family will treat Neng Auri like a respectable woman. After all, there were only a few hours left before Neng Auri became their ghost."

Memei again tried to calm the heartbreak of Auristela Azzahra. Yes, Azzahra is the name someone gave to him long before Auri knew Islam.

"Honestly, I still have my doubts about all this. Everything just arrived. I'm not sure about my own heart."

Hearing Auri's words like that made Memei a little confused by the narrow-eyed beautiful girl.

"If you are not sure yet, why Neng Auri dared to say Shahadah." Firmly Memei with a slightly snapping tone.

"There is no compulsion to embrace Islam. And it is unfortunate, if it turns out that Neng Auri embraced Islam by force and just because he wanted to live together with denmas Kelvin." His embrace with a trembling voice restrained his disappointment.

Auri was silent. He knows what Memei feels. She's actually very happy being a mu'alaf.

'I doubt Kelvin's sincerity. I'm afraid Kelvin just wants to make me a symbol of his might and greatness. I'm afraid Kelvin wants to hear a compliment from his friend about him who managed to have a Gingseng Country girl like me.' Reveal it in the heart.

Auri's worries were not unwarranted. His brief encounter with Kelvin about two months ago, made him fall in love with Kelvin who values women very much. Then, somehow he got so close to Kelvin, that he fell in love with his religion.

But strangely after living in Pesantren, Auri sees the other side of busy Kelvin prides himself on successfully obtaining Auri with ease. Instead of feeling happy, Auri even felt it was only an exhibition of the brawl of a Kelvin Ahmad.

And actually Kelvin never taught her Islam, Auri found out for herself about Islam and Muslim women. Until the moment she started learning to wear hijab, Kelvin came to express his love for Auri.

"I'm scared, Vin."

"What scares you, Auri?"

For a moment Auri was silent, she took a few breaths while lowering her head.

"If I was driven out by my family, what would you do?" Tanya Auri hesitated.

"I'll protect you. I will justify you Auri. Trust me, I'll take care of you until the end of your life." Kelvin promised her while holding Auri's hand.

Hearing Kelvin's words, made Auri moved as well as more confident to live with Kelvin.

However, when the agreement is soon in the pledge, Auri even became doubtful with her decision which had been strongly believed wholeheartedly.

'O Allah, you are the All-Mighty. Nothing is impossible for you. Set a heart to love you, even if I am hesitant to live with Kelvin right now.' It flows in the heart.

"Neng Auri, soon Kelvin will pledge a marriage contract, and soon Neng Auri will become the legal wife of Denmas Kelvin." Said Memei who woke him from the daydream.

"Did I look pretty, Mbak Mei?" Auri asked while looking at Memei.

A sincere smile was seen on Memei's face. He approached Auri, and tightly grasped the beautiful woman's hand. "Neng Auri is very pretty. And hopefully, Neng Auri will be Istiqomah and be the best wife for denmas Kelvin." Her speech.

Auri also smiled at the prayers and hopes of the woman she had considered like her own brother despite only being together for the past week.
