As Rayyan ali Fattan said earlier, that he had been to Mushtofa Tamimi's kyai residence this afternoon. And there are two Alhasyimi alumni who are also sowan on him. At that time their conversation revolved around public lectures and achievement competitions that had just been held a few days ago. Until arriving at the topic of the first winner of the achievement competition which was picked by kulliyatul muallimin Alhasyimi branch.
Both the alumni, as well as the Mustofa Tamimi kyai, both sparked praise for Meidina Shafa, the first champion. How not, KM is the level of education for prospective teachers of the early madrasah, from the level of ibtidaiyyah, stanawiyyah, to 'aliyah pesantren. Notabenya the students there, do not have a formal education that is high enough.
While the criteria for the achievement race itself, is from various aspects of education, both formal and non-formal. And it turns out the winner is from Km students, does not it indicate that the champion has extraordinary intelligence and knowledge.
Hearing the name Meidina touted with a dozen compliments and flattery, Ra Fattan did not stop feeling very proud as well. Although in the end, he had to sigh heavily, the article was only yesterday he got word, if the girl he was supposed to propose to be a future wife was more duldu edited people. And the turmoil of that fact brought his steps towards the residence of Musthofa Tamimi. Who would have thought, there even met with alumni who were discussing about Meidina Shafa.
It was then spontaneously, kyai Mustofa Tamimi said, "Meidina Shafa is the forerunner of her ex Shaykhona. He was engaged to his youngest son, his younger brother Mas Izzat."
'"the youngest son of shaykhona?" the two alumni were shocked to ask, including Ra Fattan as well. Because all this time they knew that Mas Izzat was the second son of the sheikhona who was also his youngest son, and it turns out that Mushtofa Tamimi revealed a new fact, if Mas Izzat had a younger brother.
"Yes, his name is Mas Rafka," said Kyai who plays the chairman of the board of Alhasyimi pesantren.and after giving a brief description, kyai Mushtofa Tamimi immediately shifted the conversation on other topics, he said, which means he is no longer willing to talk about it further.
As for Ra Fattan, all of that was an answer. The answer to her question since yesterday, about who Meidina Shafa's future husband is, who is the man who has succeeded in taking the woman - who to his knowledge is so steadfast and persistent in the affairs of the heart - in a pledge to the marriage contract.
And it turns out this is the answer. He was the youngest son of Shaykhona. And it is not surprising that the youngest son kyai Alhasyimi's nanny is a person who has also been known as a young man who indeed has so much charm. Irfan Arafka Wafdan.
"I did find out who Meidina Shafa is." Ra Fattan admitted honestly. He looked back at the handsome young man before him. Seen in Rafka's eyes if in view it implies something.
{We need to reiterate again, if in this chapter, and some previous chapters, is a flash back story. The story of Ra Fattan's encounter with Arafka takes place before Meidina gets into the hospital. And the story of the two meeting was told by Rafka to Meidina Shafa and others, at this time. When they were still in hospital}
At that point, Rafka paused the story for a moment, and then looked at Meidina Shafa. "That's when I understood that there was something special between you and Ra Fattan."
Indeed, at the time his brother ordered to meet Ra Fattan, Arafka did not have any thoughts. Although sheikhona told him to communicate about his engagement with Meidina Shafa to the son of kyai Muhajir. Although it is undeniable, in his heart continued to appear question marks, about what this all has to do with Ra Fatan. But Rafka made a habit of not prejudging the groundless, or guessing as if this and that, which only led to suspicions far from the truth. He simply chose to run immediately, without the need to prolong his thinking. And whatever will happen in the future, he believes it has been arranged in such a way by the Maha Rahman.
When it was seen, after what Arafka had said just now, an atmosphere of tension seemed to envelop the room, they both asked what would happen next. Unlike ustadz fadil and ustadz Widad who immediately felt understood the attitude of Ra Fattan this afternoon who came to visit the hospital. Both Rafka and Ra Fattan showed mutual respect, apparently because they knew each other.
But what happened afterwards, in the conversation of the two young men.why then, they both choose to respect each other between the fiancee, and the former fiancee Meidina Shafa.
"If Ra Fattan looks very surprised after knowing who I am, then in fact, I am equally surprised" said Arafka accompanied by a sigh quite heavy. "In my judgment, he is a very special person and when compared to me. I'm not nothing. Honestly, the existence of Fattan was enough to hit me mentally" he continued, which made some of them look to hold their breath, except Meidina. The girl was even seen holding sobs. No, he's the one who's used to comparing the two. Comparison between Rafka and Ra Fattan. And the result is, as the handsome young man said just now, that Rafka is always in a place that endures defeat.
So did Meidina's assessment from the past, even until yesterday. Somehow with today, or rather tonight, where much has been revealed about irfan Arafka Wafdan, the future husband. Within a day, Meidina was told who and how the man would marry her. Who is behind all this. Scenario of who made it all this easy. Does this question still need to be answered?
Even with the intention of the scenario itself, whether it still needs to be explained again. If God wants something, there is never a hard word for him. And there will never be a time as narrow as anything can limit its performance.
So what about Meidina, can she understand, that all these are signals from the Most Determinant. It was a signal that God gave his blessing, for himself and Arafka were united. Maybe the girl understood, and maybe not. About him, still filled with question marks, Because not a little girl voiced what she felt. There she only showed her tears. tears are interpreted with variety by all who see it.
However, from some of the other assessments, they were amazed at Rafka, who honestly admitted what was felt without shame or prestige. Some others would have preferred to keep this a secret, if not because he intended to be earnest on the chosen path with all his heart, without sparing a single bit. so that he gets rid of all the obstacles that will make the move uncomfortable later.
"The fact about Ra Fattan was the umpteenth test for me" said the handsome young man again.
And then Arafka decided to go back and tell the story, because of the story, Meidina's tears had flattened her face. Because the story of his meeting with Ra Fattan is not complete, and Meidina must know everything.
