Istikharah Unites Us
Ryan's Story

My feelings are like being stuck, confused about what to decide. I suddenly thought of Mea. My trauma grew when I found out that Kak Mea's in-laws also didn't like her and even behaved badly to her. Kak Mea's in-laws often slandered Kak Mea in front of Bang Rafli, even defaming Mother.

Even though my feelings for Ryan aren't steady, I'll still accept it if it's the one God chose for me.

I'm sure if God chose a mate for me, I would live happily with him.

After I finished performing the Isya Prayer, I did not distance myself from my salary. I'm still waiting for a message from Ryan on the green app.

It's been 20 minutes waiting, the clock has shown at 20:35WIB but Ryan still hasn't called me.

"Tin!" My phone also rang. "So he washes too" my bath. I immediately grabbed my salary and opened the chat.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ra. Sorry for the new smoke." he said.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, it's okay."

"Not sleepy, are you?" tanyakanya.

"Yes not yet. Just tell me, Yan." I asked.

"Yes, fine." she replied.

I didn't reply anymore, because I saw he was typing. I patiently waited until he finished typing the thing he wanted to tell me.

Ten minutes had passed, Ryan finally sent a message that he had typed.

"I dreamed that I was in front of a mosque. Not long after, the figure of a woman appeared.

The woman was wearing white clothes. She wears a white robe and also wears a white headscarf.

I saw the woman enter the mosque, and I followed her.

Then the woman went into the ablution' place. I waited for him to come out.

I continued to follow him, I saw the woman performing prayers inside the Mosque. After he finished praying, I woke up.

The woman I was following was you, Ra.

Because I was curious about the meaning of the dream, I also went to meet an Ustadz who used to be our Murobbi while still in the boarding house. I asked him what the dream meant.

She said, 'In God she is a righteous woman. He will always remember God in trouble and pleasure and in poverty and in abundance. Wallahu a'lam bishawab.'

That's what makes me more determined to keep you, Ra."

Honestly I smile myself reading Ryan chat, who am I? I don't deserve the title of a righteous woman.

"My God, what a wonderful story, Yan. But actually, Aura still does not deserve the title of a righteous woman. Because for Aura to get the title of a righteous woman, we have to study for life." I reply.

"What Aura said was true. But for me, you're already in the category of a righteous woman, Ra." Ryan said.

"Thank you, Yan. Oh yeah, besides is there another clue?" ask her.

"There, Ra. But you know that dream well. It's okay, right?"

"Owh, it's okay, Yan."

"Hehe, kidding. I have a dream that if you follow me, wherever I go you always follow me."

"Where are you going?" my many. I don't understand what he meant.

"When I get together with my family, you come along. The point is yes if I go everywhere you always follow." he explained.

"Owh so."

"Yes, Ra. So when is the plan you want to pray istikharah?" ask Ryan.

"In the Lord. Aura will definitely be notified when it is." I replied.

"Ok, Ra." he said.

After hearing Ryan's story, my feelings for him started to add up. Why, I feel very happy because the answer from Istikharah Prayer that Ryan is doing is very good.

I'm the only one who doesn't know how it turned out. Soon I will pray Istikharah and ask Allah for guidance.

"Raaaa, this is Luna." cried Mother.

Hearing that, I immediately came out of the room and immediately ran to Luna. I'm sure Luna must have good news.

"Hi, Lun." I said and immediately sat down next to Luna.

"This, Ra. I want to give you an invitation." he said as he offered an invitation. The names of Luna Pratiwi and Muhammad Yusuf were written there.

"Well, I am Allah. This fast, Lun?" I then looked at Luna and widened my eyes.

"Yes, the sooner the better, Ra. Don't be surprised, his eyes are like eating people, hahah." he said and laughed loosely, he looked very happy.

"Yes, I still can't believe that soon Aura's best friend will be someone's wife, hehe" I said grinningly.

"I Pray that you will catch up quickly."

"Aamiin Allahumma Aamiin."

"The candidate is there yet?" ask Luna.

"Yet, yesterday you said you wanted to look for Aura" I said and grinned the horse.

"Owh yeah, almost forgot." he said and spontaneously patted his body.

"Hayoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. It's about to sell out even forget the same promise." ledekku.

"Hehe, take it easy, Ra. That safe. Everything can be arranged, but wait for my walimahan event to finish first." he said.

"Yes, Lun. No need to rush. Just relax, hehe."

"Ready boss."

"Later there will be no more donks accompanying Aura sitting on the beach, hurmn." I said while shaking my lips.

"Don't that manyun donk Aura darling, ntar more beautiful I become jealous, uh" he said trying to cheer me up.

"Aura so remember her words Ma'am Ika."

"Which one, Ra?"

"That one, Lun. Ma'am Ika once said 'Beautiful if it's done'. Well, what you have done, means you are beautiful. Not Aura, haha." I said with a laugh.

"That's it's just kidding me, Ra. You really are more beautiful than me. Hehe."

"Who is prettier is not important, which is important to be kind. Like you, Lun. How bbaiiiikkkk."

"Test me for the story."

"Not praising, but telling the truth."

"It could be you, Ra." he said, hugging me tightly.

Tears were shed in the warm embrace of a friend. Soon I will part ways with Luna, we will live far apart.

But that's okay, because I'm sure Luna will live the rest of her life with the right people.

"Why are you crying anyway?" he said while wiping away his tears that were still flowing.

"You are, all wrapped up. So leave us." said I who also wiped the tears on both my cheeks.

"Hehe, sorry. I get carried away by feelings." he said. "Yes already, Ra. I say yes first. Still want to finish the rest of the invitations at home." he continued.

"Are you the one who sent the invitation, Lun?"

"No, there's something special to spread. You're special because you're my best friend, so I brought the invitation here myself."

"Owh is. Thank you so much, Aura's best friend."

"Yes alike. I am going home yes. Daahh. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Wa'alaikumussalam." said. Sad yes, yes, yes, too. My best friend has now found his prince. My turn when.
