Competing Love With Ustadz
Heartiness

After finishing his work. Zayn cleaned himself up and took action in the mosque.

Although Ustadz Saifullah had already persuaded Zayn and would accompany him to the pesantren. But Zayn refused and chose to spend the night in the mosque and read Do'a heartbroken according to what he learned during the pesantren.

"Allahuma ajurni fi mushibati wa akhlifli khaira minha."

Means: O Allah, reward me in my misfortune and reward him better.”

Until the magrib changed Isyak, Zayn did not also leave the mosque.

Even up to a third of the night when Ustadz Saifullah came to the mosque, Zayn still sat on his sajad solemnly. This made Ustadz Saifullah feel good and amazed by what Zayn did.

"Many people who are heartbroken leave God, but you face him without leaving HIS," said Ustadz Saifullah surprised Zayn's khusiast.

"I seek refuge in Allah from the pitiful and the distressing, the weak and the lazy, the Abominate and the timid."

"Your parents will be proud of you Zayn."

Zayn fell thin and resumed the remembrance according to the Word of Allah SWT in the Qur'an: “Those who believe and their hearts become serene with the remembrance (remember) of Allah.

Remember, Just by remembering Allah the heart becomes serene” [Ar-Ra’du:28]

Next day.

Zayn, who was preparing to do his usual activities, was stopped by Ustadz Saifullah, who felt that what Zayn had done for more than a month was enough.

"You don't need to be tired here Zayn, if you want to leave this place and return to Jakarta, Pak Kiai can no longer ban you."

"No Tadz, Mr. Kiai himself told me to come here, If I have to leave this place then Mr. Kiai must also ask me directly."

"But what if Mr. Kiai doesn't care about you anymore? Zayn, what else are you here for, you don't have any hope here, what you wish you were married to someone else."

"There's still a God I can hope for."

Ustadz Saifullah was filled with the sincerity of Zayn who no longer expected anything but the Ridho Allah SWT.

Last Week Zayn was still doing his usual activities without expecting anything in the world. Zayn happily did his job because he felt a calmness that he had never felt before. Until his work came to a halt when a familiar voice in his ear called out his name.

"Zay..."

The characteristic heavy sound makes Zayn who is growing various vegetables stand staring at the sound.

"Pak Kiai." said Zayn who immediately ran towards Pak Kiai and wiped his hands before shaking Mr. Kiai's hand and kissing him respectfully.

"How are you Zayn?"

"As Mr. Kiai saw,"

"Aren't you angry at me?" search Mr. Kiai.

"Angry for what Mr. Kiai, Before Mr. Kiai sent me here, Mr. Kiai also told me that I did not expect to Ning Faza because Mr. Kiai could marry them at any time." Zayn lowered his head withstanding the pain in his heart.

"I realized, I am nothing compared to Ustadz Adnan, Moreover I came when their relationship was planned. So it's very fair that Ning Faza will eventually marry Ustadz Adnan." continued Zayn.

"Then do you think that's fair to you?"

"Like the Word of Allah SWT in Surah Al-Baqarah :216, You may hate something, But it is very good for you, and you may (after all) like something, And he is very bad for you; Allah knows, And ye know not

Neither do I know what good plan God has prepared for me."

"And this is the plan of God that awaits you."

Zayn raised his head looking in the direction Mr. Kiai pointed.

Instantly the smile on her lips expanded to see her puja girl appear in front of her.

"Ning Faza?" ask Zayn confused.

With a timid smile, Faza looked at Zayn at a glance then lowered his head.

"Sir Kiai?" Zayn was still waiting for an answer from Mr. Kiai who just smiled at him.

"Like you who managed to live your life here sincerely, So sincerely, I am directing my daughter to you."

"Well! Did you mean Mr Kiai?" ask Zayn who is still confused.

"Pak Kiai has approved of your relationship Zayn, the marriage of Ning Faza and Ustadz Adnan is only a test for you" said Ustadz Saifullah.

"Well!" Zayn couldn't believe what he had just done.

He almost grabbed Faza's body and hugged him. But Mr. Kiai immediately blocked him and made Zayn ashamed while scratching his head.

Seriate...
