..."My prayer is one, let me lose something because of God, but let me not lose God because of something."...
..._aid....
All eyes were on the round-eyed girl. Their eyes were sad with Gus Bima, the bead seemed withered, it seemed obvious that he was full of hope for the answer that Aida would give. However, Gus Bima did not drag on in grief. Finally a knot smile rises with dimples on the left that are characteristic of Gus Bima. He believed, if Aida was destined for him, no matter how much of a hindrance God gave. In the Lord, the soul mate will not be changed.
"Aida, are you sure, son?" The voice sounded disappointed with the princess's only answer. Everyone's happiness is gone, it's okay. Umi Salamah and Abah Nur kept smiling. All this rests upon the Creator.
Gus Bima bowed lethargic with a wry smile that became a decoration of the look on his face. Ah, I don't know. Aida's mood is unpredictable. Similarly, the mother who failed to guess the mood of her daughter.
"Mas Bima doesn't want to listen to the continuation of Aida's sentence?" Gus Bima looked up. However, it was powerless to look at Aida. Yes, because he understood that the girl sitting not far from him was not a mahram for Bima.
A strange gelenyar gushed through his veins. The heart rate is not as neutral as usual. Ah, can any of you stop this strange gurgle? Aida was uncomfortable with all this. Oh God, why is his whole body sweating cold?
"Aida can't ...." The sentence is back hanging. This girl loves to make everyone curious. Nevermind!
"Aida cannot refuse this proposal, Abah ... Umi. If indeed Mas Bima is the best mate for Aida, in the shayah of God I will try to love her. Strive sincerely in accepting the destiny that God has set." Without opening her eyes, the girl dripped a clear liquid that was seen to have lodged in her eye sockets. Like not wanting to be dammed by the master.
The tense face's sharpened now turned neutral, returning to how it was. It is different with Aida. Doesn't anyone understand his heart right now? His heart was anchored to Kenzo. But destiny says something else. A man she never even knew. Never say hello. Indeed, their age is so far adrift. Be ill. The more he thought, his heart seemed to be sliced with thousands of razors.
Is the answer correct? Is that how Gus Bima prayed to unite the two of them?
"What do you want to dowry?" After a long time stringing words, finally the man ventured to ask the Khadijah candidate.
"Overall in Bima. Aida did not want to ask, most importantly the dowry did not burden Mas Bima and did not demean Aida." Gus Bima nodded. His decision was right to marry this innocent girl. Apparently, the picture of Aida is very wrong. He thought Aida was a matre woman who would demand a dowry from him. However, he was shocked as well as amazed after hearing Aida's reply.
"But Mas ...." Silent. Gus Bima looked up again. What else is this?
"What's up Aida?" That masculine voice dampened Aida's intentions. Akh, should he say the wish that Aida had dreamed of?
Seeing Aida staring at the nanar with a blank look, Gus Bima smiled, nodded slowly, then said again. "Say, never be arrested! Soon you will be my wife, everything you do will be my responsibility. Is there a lie between the two of us? Can we both not hide secrets?"
Aida ponders. The girl chose to go deep. Trying to digest word for word from Gus Bima.
"Can Aida ask for Ar-rahman's letter as a gift after the ijab is pronounced, Mas?" Eyes glazed. No. gabe. He must be able to hold back those tears.
"Can Aida have her favorite letter read as a gift on our wedding day?" The sound came back. Actually, he dreamed that the person who would read this favorite letter was Kenzo, the man Aida loved.
***
The night, wrapped in silence, looked dark. Aida was still with her position a few minutes ago. I don't know why, these tears can't be contained. Until some of the mucus used is wet because of the clear liquid.
His entire face was covered with both palms wrapped in his dusty face. Her chest feels tight. The girl was really asking even though there was not a word spoken from her pink lips. His heart was enough to complain. Tonight, Aida is just questioning her destiny. However, while Aida only asks for sincerity because Aida knows, she cannot change it.
"Astagfirullahalazim, subhanallah walhamdulillah wa laa ilahaillallahau, wallahi akbar. Wa laa quwwata illa billi 'aliyyil' adzim." Aida repeatedly chanted it in her heart.
Aida believed that God was always with her. Ah, even though he committed adultery by choosing to date. However, after getting to know Gus Bima Aida's heart began to open a little and realized that what he did was wrong. Is not God not going to burden a man beyond his means? In the Quran it is explained:
"I will not burden a person unless it is in his power." (QS. Al-Baqarah: 286).
After praying to God, his heart now felt calmer than ever. Although the taste has not fully recovered.
Aida blotted out her cries, the cries that had not come since when. Aida was just trying to be sincere. The girl was sure, her choice to accept this matchmaking was the best. He believes that his parents' choice never misses. With her sincerity, she was convinced that there would be a myriad of happiness that awaited Aida, but also with others. Bismillah.
"Rabbana atina fiddunya hasanah wafil endoti hasanah waqina 'adzabannar." Aida rubbed her palm that looked up right in front of her face. After that, Aida took off the mucus that was still attached to her body and tied her hair that she deliberately stalls.
His movement stopped as the black flat object he placed on the mattress trembled. He was a little confused, who was the person who called last night? Could it be Gus Bima?
Aida placed her face and prayer mat on the nightstand and took her salary. However, how shocked Aida was when she saw the name on the screen. Moreover, the call was missed many times.
"Kenzo?" Aida scrunched her forehead, fusing both eyebrows. The girl hesitated, between answering and ignoring him. Why did the young man call Aida this late? Given the events of a few hours ago, what should this say? It's powerless, it hurts. Could it....
Astagfirulagalazi. No Aida. Stop this husnudzonmu! Don't think of anything else. Don't make her heart scratch again, don't make Aida the most guilty.
"Assalamualaikum Ken-" The spoken greeting is not perfect. However, the young man across there first slashed it.
"I'm waiting for you at the lake usually." Telak. The girl rounded her perfect eyes. His heart stopped beating. Allah, did the young man know the truth about his betrothal to Gus Bima?
Allahu Rabbi, if Kenzo will scold him. Really, he's sincere. Absolutely sincere.
Seriate....
