Still flashback
"No way, Ma. Mama what the hell is taking that seriously?"
Keanu rejected her mother's proposal, asking her to propose to Cinta. The man did not expect that his mother took seriously his father's last request Love five days ago. There was clearly a misunderstanding here at the time, but somehow Ratih, Keanu's mother, didn't even mind it.
"Give me a reason why you're rejecting this, Ken."
"The reason is clear. I don't like Love." Keanu said sure.
"Like feelings can grow over time. Moreover, loving Love is not difficult. She is a beautiful and sweet child, it will not take long for you to like her. Anyway it's time for you to get married, Ken."
Keanu nodded in disbelief. That's as easy as his mother said that, but this is his business matters of the heart. For a moment the man scratched his head in frustration, while adjusting his chest-like breath to avoid a dispute with the mother.
Actually Keanu's age is still quite safe if not married one or two years. Her mother wanted to see her married. So impressed forced him even though he had said that he did not like the girl his mother's choice.
"Keanu, Love is a good girl, son. She knew him, and we also knew his family. Honestly, before you ask this to you, you already pray istikharah first, son. After my mom asked ustadz sir last night at the study, he said this is a good thing for you and also mom," he explained quite at length.
Making the man flabbergasted again when he heard his mother to do the prayer istikharah known as prayer asking for instructions to decide something.
"Yeah... Although this is a bit difficult for you because of the love of his sister Zayn," he continued.
"That mama already knows the other reason. Why is it that I am still forcing her to marry me?" Keanu immediately chimed in with a reason that definitely made sense to him.
"And you should be better than Zayn. Accept the fact that Ara is Zayn's wife. It's time you moved on, Ken."
"Move? By marrying love? It's the same mom making my feelings difficult."
Train to breathe out his heavy breath. Upset because Keanu was still invited to argue, but also could not be angry with him.
Keanu lowered his face for a moment. Truly the man could not imagine what it would be like if he later became the sister-in-law of his rival. Plus with Ara. Is it so, Keanu can keep his heart from faltering after he will often meet Ara again, who had become the occupant of his heart? To be able to move on from that taste alone, Keanu is still a learning process. Moreover, having to get in touch with him again would definitely be his sister-in-law if he finally agreed to marry Love.
"I think you're old enough to consider this. Frankly, it doesn't matter to my mom. As long as later after marriage Love you bring here, then all is safe." said Ratih, has been determined to want Love to be his daughter-in-law, so no longer fondle how his son feels now.
Then after that Ratih went into his room. Leaving the bewildered Keanu alone must behave as such in order not to hurt his single parent's feelings. But to agree to his mother's request he really did not want to.
Slowly changing the morning. Even I looked at the dawn prayer that sounded faint when Keanu woke up from his sleep which was actually not so good. With a little laziness the man went to the bathroom to take ablution. When the prayer mat was held, Keanu pulled it again. And immediately out of the room also to the garage to then turn on the motor.
It was not until ten minutes that Keanu had arrived at the mosque. The man immediately held his prayer and performed the congregational dawn prayer solemnly. As usual after the dawn worshipers in the mosque there will always be morning tausiah led by ustadz who worshiped the morning worshipers this morning.
"In a hadith it says, honor your mother, your mother, your mother, and then your father. From this hadith, will we still have the heart to hurt the feelings of our mother. How great is our sin, when the tears come from the mother because of our behavior. Even Rosulullah has already confirmed that your mother's honor level is three stages higher than father."
Deg.
Instantly Keanu lifted his face, staring with a sense of ignorance to ustadz who was delivering his tahusi in front. Naturally, if what Ustadz said was like a real satire for him, last night he had a debate with the mother.
"Oh my God, forgive me my sin for hurting my mother last night. Give me a hint of how I can make mama happy," her inner voice softened.
"The heavens are under the feet of the mother. It is a parable of how noble a mother is, so much durhakalah us if to hurt her feelings. From that, come home from here, let's apologize to our mother while she's still around. When our mother is gone, do not forget to give her a prayer of kindness in each of our prostrations." After that the ustadz also ended his tausi.
Keanu bowed deeply. He still has not moved from his place, although some other pilgrims have come out one by one. In his heart, the man was actually crying. There was no intention of wanting to hurt his mother, but he himself was also impossible to obey her will.
Is it better to follow the prayers of istikharah as his mother did? But he himself still did not really understand how to do it?
"Why haven't you gone home yet, son?" Tetiba pak ustadz was already sitting in front of him, greeting him kindly.
Keanu smiled faintly, and then extended his hands to each other shaking hands with mr. ustadz.
"It seems like you're thinking something, really?" tanyanya, after observing Keanu's face that was clearly worried.
Keanu hesitated. It seems that confiding with the ustadz sir might find a good solution for his current turmoil.
"May I confide, Mr Ustadz?" tanyanya.
The ustadz agreed. Without buying time Keanu immediately told the grievance of his heart calmly. Hopefully after this his heart is a little plong after taking out all those uneg-unegnya.
"Married it is the sunnah of the apostle, son. Especially after hearing your story, it's actually very good. Love because God is more beautiful in marriage. Gradually the feeling of love will come alone with the pleasure of Allah of course."
"Remember always, the pleasure of Allah depends on the pleasure of your parents. The wrath of God also depends on the wrath of your parents. What are we, if we then live without our parents?" The Ustadz said as it patted Keanu's shoulder calmly.
"So you want to ask me again, son?" he cried very patiently.
Keanu shook his head. I think he found that answer. Soon Keanu came home, after seeing the ustadz back there.
