Me, My Veil & My Soul
What Should I Wear a Veil?

Iqomah has been proclaimed, now everyone is waiting for Raihan to start praying.

But Raihan has not started his prayer.

Brother Ahsan glanced at Brother Aisyah and Annisa.

Annisa just looked down.

“Allahuakbar,” Raihan raised both hands, in prayer called takbiratul ihram.

Everyone's following Raihan.

Raihan read al-Fatihah's letter aloud.

As well as the short letters, Raihan read them eloquently.

“Assalaamu’alaikum wa rahatullah,” Raihan turned his head to the right, followed by the laboratory.

“Assalaamu’alaikum wa rahatullah,” Raihan turned his head towards the left.

Magrib prayers have been completed.

Everyone gathers at the dinner table for dinner.

Sis Ahsan was slightly amazed to see Raihan smoothly leading the magrib prayer, it seems like Raihan is a good man and shaleh.

“Please, at the meal, this is all special for tonight,” said Kak Ahsan.

Raihan just smiled.

Aisyah brought rice and side dishes for her husband and children. Now Aisyah gave the code for Annisa to take her rice and side dishes for Raihan.

Annisa was aware of the code to immediately take a plate and serve rice and side dishes, then given to Raihan.

After everything was ready, Brother Ahsan had Raihan lead the way to pray before eating.

Raihan.

“Allahumma baarik lanaa fiimaa rozaqtanaa wa qinaa 'adzaa bannaar,” Raihan again eloquently lead the prayer before meals.

Ahsan's brother was getting amazed to see Raihan.

After finishing eating. Now is the time for Brother Ahsan to ask about the seriousness of Raihan to his beloved sister.

They sat back in the living room.

“Turn Raihan, is it true that you take your sister to a more serious level?,” asked Kak Ahsan steadily.

“Betul Kak,” answered Raihan now he is more relaxed.

“When are your plans to introduce Annisa to your family?,” asked Kak Ahsan again by continuing to look at Raihan.

“To be precise if indeed Big Brother allows me to bring Annisa to my parents' house,” replied Raihan.

Annisa just silently watched Raihan and her sister's conversation.

“But you know, Annisa's still in college right? You ready? Sorry I don't mean condescending, the job of a husband is to support his wife, so are you ready to bear the tuition fees Annisa?,” This time Kak Ahsan alluded about the tuition fees.

Raihan frowned, he thought for a moment. Then nod.

“InsyaAllah I am ready Brother, I will be more active in working, because Allah promises someone's sustenance will be guaranteed after he is married,” Raihan like very earnest.

“Alright, I hope you are patient waiting for an answer from Annisa, no more than a week, he will give the answer,” said Kak Ahsan saw Annisa.

Annisa frowned, Brother Ahsan gave a code to nod.

“I .. yes, one week,” said Annisa stammered.

“Alhamdulillah, I hope to continue to serious level with Annisa, because I really want to marry him,” said Raihan.

Brother Ahsan and Brother Aisyah smiled.

***

Annisa has entered her room, as well as Brother Ahsan and Sister Aisyah.

“According to Mas, is Raihan good for Annisa?,” asked Kak Aisyah who was sitting at her dresser while opening her hijab and veil.

“Mas does not know, but he can already lead prayers and lead prayers before eating well and relaxed, it is certain that he often does, he said,” replied Kak Ahsan saved his phone because his beloved wife invited him to talk.

“So, will Mas approve Raihan? Then cancel the matchmaking with Zain?,” now Kak Aisyah turned her body in front of her husband.

“No, Mas has told Annisa to pray istikharah, may Allah give the best answer to Annisa,” said Brother Ahsan, he threw his body on the mattress.

Aisyah agreed.

***

Annisa prays for guidance on her match, who should marry her, Raihan or Zain, Annisa asks for the best match for her.

He shed tears, actually the purpose of him to this city to study, now he is faced with the problem of his betrothal, moreover Zain gave the conditions for Annisa, so that he could not do anything, that made Annisa afraid to marry Zain.

Annisa gave all her problems to Allah SWT. Because he believes that God has prepared the best for him, where there are difficulties, God's help must come.

God will not give a test beyond the limits of his ability.

***

Today Annisa is very excited to go to campus.

He used to drive a car to go to his college.

After arriving at the parking lot, Annisa sees Raihan with some of her friends joking. Raihan looks very cheerful.

Annisa watched Raihan from a distance.

One of his friends realizes that Annisa is watching him.

Raihan's friend elbowed Raihan to tell him that Annisa was watching him from afar.

Raihan said goodbye to his friends and approached Annisa.

“I hope you and your family accept me as your future husband,” Raihan said with a smile.

“Aamiin, I hope also you are patient waiting for me yes, I have performed the prayer istikharah, asking for the best answer from Allah SWT,” Annisa submits his views.

Raihan was surprised to hear Annisa performing the Istikharah prayer.

***

Annisa's watch shows at four o'clock in the afternoon, she just dropped out of her class. Realizing that it was late afternoon Annisa rushed to the mosque to perform the prayer before returning home, considering the distance took 40 minutes.

He performed the asar prayer very solemnly, after finishing the Annisa prayer rushed out of the mosque.

Annisa sees Raihan talking to a woman.

Annisa was curious about the female figure, without bothering her Annisa started to approach Raihan. But not yet Annisa can hear their conversation, the woman has left Annisa.

“Quiet, he's just my classmate,” said Raihan suddenly from behind.

Sontak Annisa was very surprised to hear that.

Annisa could only smile in embarrassment.

“You do not need to be jealous, I am serious with you Annisa, I remain patiently waiting for your answer, I go home first yes, let me drop by the parking lot,” said Raihan

Annisa agrees and follows Raihan from behind.

***

Annisa threw her body on the bed, she felt very cape.

Actually, Annisa really wanted to tell Raihan, but she realized that she had to limit conversations with the opposite sex who was not her mahram.

He decided to close his eyes.

*tok .. tok .. tok*.

“This is Brother Aisyah, you have slept?,” asked Aisyah who was behind the door of Annisa's room.

“Not Kak,” replied Annisa rushing to open the door for her sister-in-law.

“This Brother brought some clothes for you to wear to campus yes,” Kak Aisyah gave 6 new clothes complete with her hijab.

“Ya Pardon Kak, this is a lot of” said Annisa helped her sister bring clothes.

Then he put it on the bed.

“Nothing, this is for you to wear, do not forget yes,” Brother Aisyah smiled and came back out of Annisa's room.

Annisa now saw one by one the clothes on her bed. The color of the robe is good, especially the hijab is in line, but Annisa sees some veils that Kak Aisyah also gives for her.

Annisa was pensive, given Zain's condition, that she must wear a veil.

Annisa carried the veil in front of her mirror, she tried to wear it by covering her face.

“Do I have to wear a veil?,” Annisa murmured in heart.
