Each was busy accompanying the guests.
Dinda stands to choose to taste Zupa Soup waiting for the catering officer to prepare Dinda's order.
Fandi sees Dinda herself approaching him.
"Sir." Sapa Fandy tang chose his own call Nda other with most people who usually so confused with Andin equally called Din.
Dinda looked at Fandi who was now nearby.
Dinda greets and offers Zupa Sup however Fandi is one of the invitations at the event.
The incident still did not make Dinda change attitude to Fandi.
But Dinda this time asked Fandi's condition.
"Where is his wound healed?" ask Dinda to Fandy.
"Udah. nih." Fandi pointed towards his forehead and his hand that was not injured just left his mark.
"Thank God then."
For a moment there was no sound. Both awkward.
"Sir."
"Sound."
The two call each other simultaneously.
Somehow Fandi just this time heard a different call on him usually people choose Fan when calling him, this time Dinda greet and call him by his name.
Fandi was so happy. Dinda finally wants to talk to him.
"Lo first." ask Dinda.
"I'm sorry. If my attitude all this time makes Lo kelin. Sorry also if that time I made Lo angry talking about Soni." Fandi was finally relieved to be able to convey an apology to Dinda who had not had the opportunity because of Dinda's attitude that always kept her distance.
Dinda seemed uncomfortable hearing Soni's name being called. Dinda wanted to leave immediately.
"Excuse me, "Dinda immediately said goodbye but Fandi understood Dinda.
"Tomorrow after the meeting can we have lunch together?" Fandi looked at Dinda's face expecting an answer from the woman before him.
Dinda looked at Fandi.
Dinda's flat face looked at Fandi's bead.
Dinda still could not muffle her still closed heart as if the room was still faithfully locked.
"Where's Nda?" Fandi repeated his words.
Dinda woke up from her daydream.
Nod Dinda at Fandi's invitation even though Dinda immediately left Fandi who smiled at his invitation that Dinda agreed.
From a distance Satya and Andin actually noticed both.
Andin was so happy because Dinda now wanted to talk to Fandi.
"Mas, Dinda ended up talking to Fandi." Andin said to Satya who had also since noticed that her sister was chatting with Fandy.
"May Dinda be able to recover her heart. My sister even though she looks cheerful but not easy to fall in love. So when he falls in love and gets hurt it takes time to recover" said Satya who knows the character of the younger brother.
"I hope that whoever the man who will be Dinda's companion, can love, care for and protect Dinda wholeheartedly." Satya added.
"Aamiinu. I also want my best friend Dinda to get happiness to find a companion and happy life. Dinda my best friend is a woman with a good heart." Andin admits Dinda is his best friend.
"My wife is also a good woman, beautiful too." Satya praised his wife seducing Andin, kissing and embracing the woman he loved.
Photographers do not seem to miss the moment.
How much happiness emanated from the two is so felt for those who see it.
While the three beautiful women despite their age who were no longer young smiled happily looking at Fandi and Dinda.
"Jeng, I hope we can be good." Mother Fandi holds the hand of Mother Dona.
"Aamiinu. We wish our daughter the best." Answer Mother Dona.
"Let it flow like water. Later if the two are in a match then God will unite in the bond of marriage." Mama Shopia added at the same time slipping prayer and hope for both human children Fandi and Dinda.
All three guarantee.
The three also capture the romantic moment of the child and his daughter-in-law who else if not Andin and Satya.
Mother Dona and Mama Shopia seemed happy to witness the harmony of her son and daughter.
His unplanned marriage impressed because of the existing situation, now looks happy as if the two are already God predestined together.
Moreover, now there is the fruit of love both make both mothers feel happiness because soon both will become a grandmother.
Both of them remembered their late husbands.
"Mas, soon we'll be opa and oma. You're happy, aren't you?" the Inner Mother Dona spoke in her heart as if the husband was by her side.
"Mas, I am happy even though Andin is only an adopted child, but not one bit less my love for him. Satya is also a good daughter-in-law and a good husband. I don't have to worry that I won't be alone, my son-in-law and besan and my daughter Dinda all love me. Just relax there. Oh yes Mas, we will be grandparents." Mama Shopia's inner voice seemed to say to her late husband.
Happiness has its own way of greeting every human being it desires.
Life is like a spinning wheel.
No human being is forever sad, happy will come to change.
Man as a servant is only obliged to be grateful for any circumstances experienced.
Allah SWT has explained in His words in the Qur'an Surat Al-Inshirah Verses 5-6 :
"Because really after the difficulty there is ease. After the trouble there is ease."
From Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu ‘anhu, he said that the Prophet shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said, saying,
“Allah Ta’ala said: I am according to the presumption of My servant. I was with him when he remembered Me. If he remembers Me alone, I will remember him in Me. If he remembers Me in a group, I will remember him in a better group than that (group of angels).” (Muttafaqun ‘alaih) [HR. Bukhari, no. 6970 and Muslim, no. 2675].
Letter of Abraham 7 :
Wa izhi ta`azdal rabbukum la`ar syakartum la`azidannakum wa la`ing kafartum inna 'aisabeth lasyadid.
It means: And (remember) when your Lord declares, “Truly if you are grateful, then I will add (merciful) to you, but if you deny (my mercy), then surely My punishment is very heavy.”
It is explained in the letter of Ibrahim verse 7 that Allah SWT will add pleasure to anyone who thanks Allah SWT. But if you forget His favor, forget to give thanks, then Allah SWT will uproot the favor and do the reckoning in the Hereafter.
Surat An - Naml verse 40 :
Qalallaishi 'indah 'ilmum minal-kitabi ana etika bihi qabla ay yartadda ilaika tarfuk, fa lamma ra`hu mustaqirran 'beautiful qala min fali rabbi, liyabluwani a ashkuru am akfur, wa man syakara fa innamaka yasykuru linafsih, wa mang kafara fa inna rabbi ganiyyung karim.
Often as humans only remember Allah SWT when in a difficult situation. While in a happy state often someone forgets the blessings and gifts of Allah SWT.
Though still able to breathe, always healthy, eat and drink, and do other tasks also include the blessings of Allah SWT that must be grateful. In part it is contained in the verses of the Qur'an about gratitude that must be listened to so that we are more grateful for various things in life. Don't miss it, yeah!
Letter of Abraham 7
وَاِذْ تَاَذَّنَ رَبُّكُمْ لَىِٕنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لَاَزِيْدَنَّكُمْ وَلَىِٕنْ كَفَرْتُمْ اِنَّ عَذَابِيْ لَشَدِيْدٌ
Wa izhi ta`azdal rabbukum la`ar syakartum la`azidannakum wa la`ing kafartum inna 'aisabeth lasyadid.
It means: And (remember) when your Lord declares, “Truly if you are grateful, then I will add (merciful) to you, but if you deny (my mercy), then surely My punishment is very heavy.”
It is explained in the letter of Ibrahim verse 7 that Allah SWT will add pleasure to anyone who thanks Allah SWT. But if you forget His favor, forget to give thanks, then Allah SWT will uproot the favor and do the reckoning in the Hereafter.
Surat Al-Jasiyah verse 12
اَللّٰهُ الَّذِيْ سَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الْبَحْرَ لِتَجْرِيَ الْفُلْكُ فِيْهِ بِاَمْرِهٖ وَلِتَبْتَغُوْا مِنْ فَضْلِهٖ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُوْنَۚ ۞
Allahullaishi sakhkhara lakumul-bara litajriyal-fulku fi bi`amri wa litabtagakihi min fa mandlihi wa la'allakum tasykurukann.
It means: It is Allah who has laid low the sea for you so that the ships may sail on it by His command, and that you may seek some of His bounty and that you may give thanks.
In the letter of Al-Jasiyah verse 12 it is clear that we must always be grateful to Allah SWT who has created the sea to meet daily needs. The sea with its abundant resources can be used as a source of life, and to be used as a transportation route connecting various islands and countries.
Letter of An-Naml verse 40
قَالَ الَّذِيْ عِنْدَهٗ عِلْمٌ مِّنَ الْكِتٰبِ اَنَا۠ اٰتِيْكَ بِهٖ قَبْلَ اَنْ يَّرْتَدَّ اِلَيْكَ طَرْفُكَۗ فَلَمَّا رَاٰهُ مُسْتَقِرًّا عِنْدَهٗ قَالَ هٰذَا مِنْ فَضْلِ رَبِّيْۗ لِيَبْلُوَنِيْٓ ءَاَشْكُرُ اَمْ اَكْفُرُۗ وَمَنْ شَكَرَ فَاِنَّمَا يَشْكُرُ لِنَفْسِهٖۚ وَمَنْ كَفَرَ فَاِنَّ رَبِّيْ غَنِيٌّ كَرِيْمٌ
Qalallaishi 'indah 'ilmum minal-kitabi ana etika bihi qabla ay yartadda ilaika tarfuk, fa lamma ra`hu mustaqirran 'beautiful qala min fali rabbi, liyabluwani a ashkuru am akfur, wa man syakara fa innamaka yasykuru linafsih, wa mang kafara fa inna rabbi ganiyyung karim.
Meaning: One who has knowledge from the Book says, “I will bring the throne to you before your eyes blink.” So when he (Sulayman) saw the throne before him, he said, “This includes the gift of my Lord to test me, whether I give thanks or deny (his mercy). Whoever is grateful, then he is grateful for (goodness) himself, and whoever disbelieves, then verily my Lord is Mahakaya, Mahamulia.”
Surat An-Naml verse 40 explains about Allah SWT who will give and do everything to His servant with just a blink of an eye. However, for those who believe and realize, Allah's blessing is also the test of whether someone will be grateful or turn away. Therefore, as humans must believe and believe about the enjoyment of Allah SWT.
Surat Al - Qassas verse 73 :
Wa mir ra gratihi ja'ala lakumul-laila wan-nahara litaskunokih fhi wa litabtagekih min falihi wa la'allakum tasykurukahn.
Meaning: And it is by His mercy that He has made for you night and day, that you may rest at night and that you may seek some of His gifts (by day) and that you may give thanks to Him.
It is explained by the letter of Al-Qasas verse 73 that Allah SWT created day and night which have their own functions. During the day humans can fill it by seeking sustenance and rest or sleep to relieve fatigue at night.
Where the division is to maintain human energy so that it can carry out daily activities. Therefore, it is mandatory to be grateful for all the blessings of Allah SWT and should be used as well as possible.
Surat Al - Baqarah verse 152
Fazkurnikum awkurkum wasykurokih li wa la takfurin.
Meaning: Then remember Me, I will remember you too. Be thankful to Me, and do not disbelieve Me.
Through the letter of Al-Baqarah verse 152, Allah SWT commanded His people to remember Him as part of the thanksgiving. Where it can be done through remembrance by saying hamdallah and deeds by distributing a little sustenance to people in need.
