Loving Husband Interlude
08. Fate of Arsyil

After Azam died from his office, Arsyil thought about what Azam said and his request about marrying his best friend's ex-wife. He has also not met or seen what Najwa looks like.

She thought Najwa was a sholeha woman who was obedient to her husband. But did Najwa really want the marriage to end? And back to Azam?

Arsyil himself doubted that Najwa would do that, only why Najwa's parents would agree if his son returned to Azam. Wasn't divorced unilaterally by Azam it left a trauma or at least he didn't want to go back to her.

"Why should a sholeha woman like Najwa obey Azam's request? Is there something behind all that approval?" arsyil.

His eyes were closed, Arsyil was very confused by Azam's request. Until he also so can not think calmly about the work problems that are piling up.

Tok to tok.

The sound of the door being knocked, Arsyil looked up and opened his eyes. Nadia came in with a file in her hand.

"Why Nadia?" ask Arsyil.

"There's an invitation order by email sir, it's from far out of town. Hows it? And there are writers who want to publish their books to our printing press" Nadia said.

"Thank you, the one from the email gave me a reply and gave me a sample of the invitation" Arsyil said.

"So that the author wants to publish a book is still not the deal price of books that we offer from us, he wants a discount because he wants to publish many books" said Nadia.

"How many books does he want to print?" ask Arsyil.

"There are three books he said and there are one hundred books each. The total is three books" said Nadia again.

"You count everything first, if three hundred books are at a five percent discount there is a profit for us yes accept it" said Arsyil.

"Okay sir, the writer is waiting for our answer."

"Yes, you count and give me the answer. Let us not lose. If he asks for a discount above five percent, cancel it."

"Alright sir, then excuse me first."

"Yes." Yeah."

Nadia turned around and came out, Arsyil was still thinking about Azam's request to her. Does he want to do that?

Married in just two months, can be said to be a contract marriage with the ex-wife of his best friend. Can you guarantee Azam's ex-wife will be touched by him? And after that, what is straight divorce. Too bad to think about it.

"Do I have to ask God for guidance?" arsyil.

He closed his eyes, tracing a shadow where he had to get caught up with his best friend's request to marry his ex-wife. There is nothing wrong, but what if destiny speaks otherwise?

Arsyil opened his eyes wide, his memory also remembered about fate. Is this his destiny?

"Is that destiny for me?" arsyil said suddenly.

His mind kept drifting about destiny. He always failed to get married. There were tests that hit him, starting from him in the match between his uncle and his friend's children. Failed because the woman turned out to be kekeh did not want to marry him.

Then his father told to get acquainted with the son of an ustad who used to give advice to his father, but in fact he had been preached by the son of a kyai. He could not compete with the good men of his religion. Although he is also actually good at his religion as well.

"Well, I'll ask God for guidance. Istikharah prayer is the only way so that the problem of the soul mate can be resolved" said Arsyil with full confidence that it is indeed the way to meet his soul mate.

He will accept whatever fate Allah will give him. Although his soul mate will be only a moment, it means that it is his destiny. But if destiny says otherwise, then he will weigh it back.

Arsyil went into his office room, this morning he was still worried about his decision to accept Azam's request. Although only once he had prayed istikharah, at night he had not found the answer. He intends the next night to do it again.

The voice of the phone on his phone rang loudly, he picked up the phone in his pants pocket. See who called him, Azam.

Arsyil took a deep breath, still staring at his phone just yet had no intention of lifting it fast. But then he shifted the green button and put his phone in his ear.

"Assalamu aleikum, Zam?"

"Wa alaikum salam, Shil. I'm bothering you to work?" ask Azam across there.

"No. What's up?" asked Arsyil pretending not to understand about Azam calling him.

"I want to ask, have you made a decision?"

"No, Zam. I'm asking for a week, it's only been two days." replied Arsyil.

"Heheh, yes. But I think you've decided sooner, Syil."

"I must have given you the same answer Zam one week that I asked for time. Don't worry" said Arsyil.

"Yes, the problem is that Najwa's brother asks people who want to marry Najwa Shil" said Azam.

"Do you want your child to marry a husband who does not know his child?"

"Not really, I want you to make a decision quickly and after that decision is made. I'll meet Najwa and his brother" Azam said.

"Oh yeah, that means you should get married too, right Zam?" ask Arsyil.

"Yes. I've got the woman I'm going to marry, don't worry about me. The important thing is that you have decided to do with my request Syil" Azam said.

Arsyil was silent, he took a deep breath. There was a selfishness that he caught on Azam. But he did not want to argue with the man. Sometimes Azam is selfish, but Azam is always ready to help him if he has financial difficulties in his printing.

"Archael?"

"Oh yes, Zam. Why?" asked Arsyil his daydream was gone.

"I'll wait five days, you're ready for the answer, right?"

"Yes, Zam. God willing."

"All right, thank you Syil. You are my best friend, Arsyil."

Arsyil was silent, he only responded with a faint smile.

"I hung up the phone first, Syil" Azam said.

"Yes. Assalamu alaikum."

"Wa aleikum salam."
