Betting Love Above Destiny
41 May the Rumblings Not Turn into Lightning

"True, Ra, Davina loved Ajunan long ago" Meidina said.

"Din, what are you talking about, don't be so careless!" Davina stared fiercely at her best friend. It was real that he did not like Meidina's words about him.

"Not only you can see and judge, Vina. But me too" Meidina said to him. "Only in this case I'm late to know" he continued.

"You know what, Din?"

"You know how you feel about Ra Fattan. I'm late to realize everything." Meidina's teardrop fell again as she said it all, after a long puddle of water was floating on both eyes.

"Don't judge only the side. Do not rush to draw conclusions on something that is not intact" said Davina.

"Many things Davina. Should I elaborate one by one? About the riyadhoh you did for Ra Fattan. About the event you were in an accident after reading a chat from Ra Fattan to me. And a few more things. Which not only I'm aware of, but also Nabila."

For what was described by Meidina, Davina so looked at Nabila. wife-to-be ustad Widad was smiling thinly, because what was described by Meidina was indeed true.

"Even if it's true, but you can't conclude it right away, Meidina." Davina stared expectantly. I hope my best friend no longer thinks that way about her feelings for Ra Fattan.

"Yes, if all that I consider to be the only evidence, maybe I can be wrong, although everyone would think it is impossible for someone to do such heavy worship for others, if it were not for a deep attachment emotionally. However, everyone will never complain about lying to his God, no matter how bad he is" Meidina said at length.

"You mean?" Davina asked not understanding.

"That night, after talking about the match, I could barely sleep all night. And I know you do too. Until Ra Fattan called me. You go to the musholla before dawn, you prostrate there complaining. I was behind you at the time. And I heard all your moans back then."

"What?!" Davina was surprised, if it was true that Meidina heard all her prayers that night, then Davina could no longer hide the secret of the heart from her.

That night was true as Meidina said, she rose up out of the guesthouse while wiping away tears. The cute girl walked slowly behind Meidina who was being called by Ra Fattan.

Davina went to the musholla, and did the night prayer there, so long she sat down on the prayer mat, with a round of prayer beads in hand, while her tears were not stopping. He looked up with both hands, "Yes Rabb." His voice sounded complaining.

Forgive me. Teach me to be sincere, to be able to accept all your decisions patiently. Surely I am .. I love Ra Fattan very much. And I .. I also love Meidina very much.

So make me a milestone for their togetherness. Make me a pillar of their happiness. Though I will be crushed like a burning candle. Please let me know, God. Patience heart. Don't let me waver and turn around from what I've decided.

Enough of you for me. Cover my wounds, erase my sadness. Hasbii Rabbi.

That, the sentence of petition as well as complaint from the bottom of his heart, in front of the Determinant of Life.

Davina was crying, remembering all that.

Meidina cried as she told him all about it.

"He loves, Jenengan, Ra. And I can't turn a blind eye to it all, however much I want Jenengan to be a priest in my life ..." The girl stopped her sentence, because her voice was choked, like it was clogged in the chest cavity.

"By Allah, Meidina." Davina said with a trembling voice. "I wouldn't be willing if because of that, you decided to live with someone else" she continued, crying.

"It wasn't me who decided Davina, but Destiny. This might be the best for me. So that I don't keep hurting anybody."

"But you hurt yourself" Davina quickly replied.

"I'm sure God will not allow that to happen" Meidina said with a straight look, offsetting a pinch of hope in her heart that everything would be fine again.

"Meidina, Davina." Ra Fattan who from the beginning did not say anything, except just staring at the two girls in front of him in turn, now began to speak up.

"I'm sorry to you guys. I'm wrong, I've brought you into this situation." He came to this decision after a long silence, and only listened and watched. That all the difficult situations that are now experienced by these two friends, is because of him. It was he who took her. Now, in his heart, he was filled with guilt. And a decision he got immediately. The decision he made by ignoring the pain, the disappointment will be hope that ran aground before being missed.

"Meidina, as I have often told you, God willing, I will always understand you, I respect your decision, whatever it is. If it makes you happy. I'm sincere."

Meidina Shafa looked up at her, the two of them still looking at each other for a while. Like both want to explore their respective hearts for the decisions that have been made. Or both want to resolve the feelings at the end of the story that must be divorced, in a moment.

A moment later, the young man turned to Davina. "Davina, you're so sincere. God values a sincere person like you. But I, in fact, have made a fatal mistake against you. In that case, not only can I be called guilty, but I have also sinned against you. I just hope, may God give me a chance to account for this mistake of mine to you, Davina." The handsome young man finished his words with a heavy sigh.

The next moment, he looked back at the two girls in front of him in turn.

"Once again, I apologize to you both. Assalamualaikum."

Ra Fattan ended his entire speech with a greeting. And without waiting for an answer, the young man immediately turned around and stepped away.

Rayyan Ali Fattan, you are such a well-mannered young man. None of you in that place can guess what you are feeling right now. Because not one bit you show excessive expression, on your beautiful and handsome face. On top of whatever you're feeling right now, you're still streaming friendly words. Soft and beautiful words. It shows how very virtuous you are.

That is what is in every thought. When they both look at the departure of Rayyan Ali Fattan. His steps looked very definite and did not look back.

Kanza Davina stared at his departure with a roaring heart, like a sky that holds rain in a thick cloud. Hopefully the rumble will not turn into lightning that strikes. For a wounded heart, anything can. Especially in the position of a Kanza Davina who currently does not know, or may not know, to position herself where. It all hurt for Davina. When she feels for Ra Fattan, only she keeps it alone, she often feels pain. And now that the taste was known to the owner, he also still felt pain.

Can't love alone, without someone getting hurt by the love they have. Not every love comes with its destiny. Is not love an inevitability. He came, he existed because he was destined to exist. But why in so many stories, love has to bet on destiny. Destiny is not the same as love. Or the love that comes is not accompanied by his destiny.

Meidina Shafa, Kanza Davina, and Zaskia Ariva who know how it feels. When love must bet on destiny.

"Davina, I went back to the guesthouse first." Meidina said that while wiping away the tears, and swung a step ahead of Davina. While the sweet girl herself could only bow with a heart of sorrow, when Zaskia and Nabila gently rubbed her shoulders, giving a form of encouragement, for all that had happened to her.
