I'm Not an Old Virgin
Season II: Mahligai of Love (Chapter 11.9)
"Is it because of the talk that night?" Mega recalled his strange conversation with Ustad Azam before he left.
Asri nodded looking wise.
"Mostly because of that factor and a small part of it again because of every attention that Ustad Azam gives you."
Mega waved her hand in disagreement.
"That's not a misunderstanding"
"That's a misunderstanding!" Cut Asri insisted.
"If not then why did Ustad Azam keep mentioning the promise to you. If you don't keep it then he'll sue him on God's day of trial, just think of Mega how serious this matter is in the hereafter." Asri reminded Mega of the core of their conversation that night generously.
"I know but-"
"Don't cut it. Let me finish my words, and then you can refute or reject them." Cut Asri strangely behaved more firmly to Mega than to Ai.
Mega snorted sharply, her face pouted because the person who always cut the conversation from the beginning was nothing else and nothing was Asri himself.
"I consider your silence a consent." Asri ignored Mega's pouting expression.
"Look, that night didn't you accuse each other of who was the first to call off your engagement? From your side of the story, the one who canceled the engagement was Ustad Azam but why did he say that night that you were the one who canceled your engagement?. Mega, I know you may be hurt by the alleged 'betrayal' of Ustad Azam but that doesn't mean you have to close your eyes or ears to every truth that lies before you. Hey, maybe there's a reason why Kak Sasa's photo is on Ustad Azam's phone but I'm sure it's not because of romance. If not, then why does he keep demanding you keep your word? Isn't this side suspicious enough?"
Mega fell silent, she bit her lips not knowing what to argue. To be honest what Asri thought had filled his head many times. Every time thinking about this problem Mega began to develop hope but once again got caught in the confusion when remembering the smiling face of Sasa on the screen of the phone Ustad Azam.
Mega hopes this is a misunderstanding but she is afraid, behind this misunderstanding there is something that will make her even more sick.
So he just stood in place, justifying what he thought and assuming that his relationship with Ustad Azam was no longer helped.
"Mega, what Asri said is true. It's probably just a misunderstanding between the two of you and I think it's best to have this misunderstanding you two clear up together so no one gets hurt."
Mega rubbed her face looking tired, "I don't know, I don't know." His whisper is helpless.
"If he and I misunderstand, God will show us the way. If not, then this is the end and I don't want too much hope-"
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said:
ۗ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُغَيِّرُ مَا بِقَوْمٍ حَتّٰى يُغَيِّرُوْا مَا بِاَ نْفُسِهِمْ ۗ
Innalloha laa yughoyyiru maa biqoumin hattaa yughoyyiruu maa bi-angfusihim hotel,
Cut Ai with a very soft and smooth voice.
"God has given you a way, my brother. If you don't want to take a step first then God won't change the situation between the two of you."
Mega rubbed her face in shame.
"But I am a woman and women do not pursue men."
Ai immediately shook her head.
"Who said? Wasn't Siti Khadijah RA the first to approach the Prophet? He managed to make the Prophet fall in love with him, for the Prophet, Siti Khadijah RA is his lover who will never be replaced." Ai immediately refuted this thought directly.
"But Ai, although women are not wrong to pursue a man's love but the shame that is in us makes it very heavy." Asri said giving a gap.
"True, because of the magnitude of shame can describe how good the quality of one's faith is. That is why God gave us women to follow another choice."
"Another choice?" Asri and Mega are still not.
"Yes, the choice follows Siti Fatimah Az-Zahra RA, the beloved daughter of the Prophet Muhammad. You do not forget how beautiful the love story of Fatimah RA with one of the friends and nephews of the Prophet Muhammad, Ali bin Abi Talib. Their love story shook the sky, envy the angels of heaven, and was admired by all the inhabitants of heaven. Do you know why their love story is so amazing?"
"That's because love is silent." Answer Mega fast.
"Baking love in silence, that's what they do. No one knows about their feelings even the Prophet who loved his daughter so much did not know about their love. Not only the Prophet, but the devil did not know if in their hearts there was a very sweet feeling. No one knows except Allah SWT, the owner of the heart. They express their feelings through the prayers they hold in the third of the night. To speak and tell God that their hearts are already attached to each other. So what is God's reward? God has united them in the world and in heaven. They are eternal partners in the world and in the hereafter, mashaa Allah, is not the time of the third night really very mustajab and closer to Allah?"
"Ai," Call Asri unsure.
"So, if you cannot follow the steps of Khadija RA, then follow the steps of Fatimah RA. Persuade God in a third of the night so that you can be together." Ai finished all her words with a smile.
"Ai, aren't you supposed to do this too?" Asri was finally able to speak.
"Do what?"
Mega replied visibly anxious, "Persuading Allah in a third of the night for the two of you to be united like the love story of Ali ibn Abi Talib and Fatimah RA, shouldn't you also do this?"
Seriate..
Insha Allah later tonight there is the next chapter 🍃
