GIVE ME LOVE
CHAPTER 31. ADVICE FROM MAHEN

After hearing Papa Bastian's story, Bastian's mother finally collapsed, she forgave them but was not willing to go to the hospital.

Papa Bastian again pleaded, he would make amends by granting all of Bastian's mama's requests.

Finally my mother agreed and she put forward the condition that if the woman lives after surgery, she should leave, forever away from her home life.

The issue of responsibility for child care costs will be given at once by signing the agreement and there will be no more demands after the agreement is agreed.

"Alright, I agree," replied papa Bastian.

"But what if she dies Ma in the process of giving birth later?" Ask papa Bastian hope the wife can give a wise decision.

However, the child is his flesh and Papa Calvin will not be able to abandon him, especially when he does not have a mother.

"When Mama Bastian fell silent, she said, "I'll take care of the baby like my own daughter."

Papa Calvin hugged and kissed Mama Bastian again while saying thank you, he did not expect the wife could take such a policy.

He knew the decision was very hard for Mama Bastian, any wife would never be willing to see her husband share her love with another woman, for whatever reason.

"Go take a shower Pa, I'll get ready and talk to Bastian first, it doesn't seem like he's leaving because there's no saying goodbye to me."

"Yes Ma, I forbade him and asked him to accompany his mother at home,"

Mama Bastian prepared and she met Bastian and told him everything she had agreed with her husband.

Bastian sighed then asked, "Is Mama ready? And will you not regret the decision?" ask Bastian.

"If asked to be ready, of course not Bas, but a lot of mama must consider. Mama is also a mother and wants the best for her child, as well as the woman. He wants his son saved from him. You yourself how about Bas? if the baby stays here?" ask her mother back.

"I can't blame them either Ma, however the baby isn't wrong, she's my sister and was born out of papa's fault."

"Well if so Bas, mama left first yes, papa you must have been waiting."

"Yes Ma, be careful Ma."

Mama Bastian went to see Papa Calvin and then they went to the hospital, Bastian who peeked through the window of his room also monologued, "I'm proud of my mother who has a big soul, willing to forgive Papa's mistakes."

Meanwhile Mahen and the others have arrived at the Andara family home, they drive Devani home first before returning to Cambodia.

When Devani had opened the car door and was about to get off, Mahen said, "Wait for the Van! Wait a minute, there's something I want to give you" Mahen said.

Then Mahen came down, he rushed to the back seat and took some paper bags containing the clothes he had bought and placed there. After that he went back to the front to hand it to Devani.

Then he said again, "I'm not a patron or a lecturer, but it's my duty to say this."

"As we both know Van, in the teachings of Islam, should not dress or look like the opposite sex, this is confirmed in the word of the Prophet PBUH, “God cursed women who resembled men, and men who resembled women.”

In another hadith also mentioned, “Allah accuses women who wear men's and men's clothing who wear women's clothing.”

"The prohibition is not only related to the issue of clothing, but also how to walk and talk."

"Every human being is created in perfect condition. Allah SWT said, which means, "Truly, We have created man in the best possible form” (QS at-Tin [95]:4)."

"The meaning of Van, how the human condition was created, is in fact the best form according to God. If the Creator says so, then we as beings are not very good at branding ourselves as imperfect and fit to be changed."

"God Ta'ala has also created men and women as complementary partners. Both there are physical, psychological and thought differences so that they can complement each other. Remember His words in Surah al-Hujurat verse 13, meaning, "Hi man, he said, Verily We created you from a man and a woman, and made you nations and tribes that you may know one another..."

"To put it simply, the creation of man and woman is an irreversible entity. About changing this creation of Allah, the Prophet SAW strictly forbid it."

"Prophet SAW also said, "Allah SWT accuses women who make tattoos, ask for tattoos, pluck eyebrows and improve the arrangement of their teeth to beautify themselves, which has changed God's creation" (Bukhari and Muslim)."

"On men who look and behave like women and vice versa, scholars agree if the law is illegal."

"And Imam Adz-Dzahabi in his book, Al-Kabaair, classifies this as one of the great sins. The punishment is very harsh that it will bring a curse from Allah SWT and the Prophet SAW, as explained in the previous hadith."

"I'm sorry, Van, if what I said offended you. I just want to convey kindness to my fellow men who are as loyal as I am, especially those closest to me. I don't want my family to be cursed by Allah" Mahen said, clenching his hands together.

Devani bowed in shame, everything said by Mahen is true, because Papa, mother and brother also said that.

Actually Devani already intends to change, but can not at once. Maybe this is the time when he should start changing by changing the way he dresses, then later close another letter like his mother and brother did.

Hans and Annisa also listen to Mahen's advice, at first they fear that Devani will not accept it, but when Devani sees silence, does not refute a word, their hearts become relieved.

Then to normalize the atmosphere again, Hansen said, "Thank you Van, already willing to accompany us. You must be beautiful if you wear it, I guarantee all your friends will say the same."

"Yes Bun, thank you, I've been with Nisa. Nisa is also happy if you see Mother more beautiful. Most importantly no matter how Mother looks, Nisa always loves Mother" said Annisa.

Devani got out of the car and thanked everyone, then she hit the bell and Papa Andara appeared behind the door.

Papa Andara deliberately did not sleep because waiting for their return.

From the top of the car, Mahen, Hans and Annisa pamit. Not disrespectful, but because the day has dissolved, papa Andara is the one who asked them to go straight home and be careful on the road.
