Me, My Veil & My Soul
Dreamed

“But if I wear a veil, automatically Zain will be happy to have accepted the terms,” Annisa reopen the veil in use.

“I will certainly wear a veil, but not because of Zain but because of Allah SWT,” continued Annisa returned the veil to its place.

“Actually who should marry me, Zain or Raihan, those two men have not captivated me, do I have to keep abiding by Abah's wishes?,” Annisa continues to mutter to herself.

To get her back excited, Annisa decides to call her Amber.

Via Telephone.

“Assalamu’alaikum Ambu,” Annisa miss Ambu very much.

“Wa’alaikumsalam, how are you doing dear?,” asked Ambu who also misses her daughter very much.

“Good, Ambu how? Healthy? Is Abah healthy again?,” replied Annisa worried about his condition.

“Umm .. Abah, Abah is fine Nisa,” this time Ambu lied.

“Ambu didn't lie to Nisa?,” Annisa was like knowing that Ambu was lying to her.

“Iya, Ambu do not lie.”

“Alright Ambu, Annisa want to talk to Abah now.”

“Don't now yes son, your Abah is not at home.”

“Where?.”

“She was going to the farm son,” Ambu saw Abah who was actually lying weakly on the mattress.

“Alright, arriving Nisa's greeting to Abah yes,” said Nisa.

“Iya Nak, how about your matchmaking? When will the application event be held?,” Ambu again sat next to Abah.

“Annisa does not know, honestly Annisa is in doubt with this matchmaking Mbu,” Annisa sits on her bed.

“Why? What makes you doubt?,” Ambu spoke very softly to his son.

“Nisa wants to ask, if suppose Ambu becomes Nisa, will Ambu choose to continue his match even though Ambu does not like the candidate Ambu?.”

“Hihihi, Ambu did not like Abah when Ambu was betrothed to him, but Ambu realized the marriage occurred because he wanted to pursue the Ridha of God, because marriage has perfected half the religion,” explained Ambu.

“So, you do not have to love Zain first, intend you to marry him because of God, the problem of love will come on time, God will move your heart and Zain if indeed you are a match, he said,” Further Ambu.

Annisa sighed.

“Good Ambu, thanks for giving Annisa valuable advice, wish Annisa the best for Ambu.”

Ambu and Annisa ended the call.

Now Annisa walks out of the room to pick up a snack in the fridge. Because this problem really drained Annisa's energy.

“Yes, you are patient yes, if there is anything to tell Brother, then Brother help,” Kak Ahsan called someone from the dining room.

“It's okay, don't worry, just take care of everything until it's done,” continued Kak Ahsan still in a phone call.

Annisa who heard the conversation, tried to walk behind Kak Ahsan to pick up a snack.

“Yasudah, tomorrow you will tell me again yes, Assalamu’alaikum,” Kak Ahsan hung up.

“Annisa, are you still hungry?,” asked Kak Ahsan.

“Iya Kak, Annisa asked for this snack yes hehe,” Annisa replied while showing her snacks.

“Take it does not need permission, if there is food you want, just take it yes,” Kak Ahsan smiled but could not be denied the anxiety still adorns his face.

Annisa was eager to ask, but it didn't seem to be her business.

His curiosity arose when Kak Ahsan mentioned ‘Kakak’ in the phone, he suspected that the one who called him was his second brother, Kak Ahza.

But Ahsan did not speak to Annisa, so she went back to her room.

Annisa was silent for a moment, then went back inside her room.

At night, Annisa felt restless in her sleep.

“Annisa, I really want to marry you, I will love you very much,” Raihan said approaching Annisa in a white shirt.

“Annisa, even though I don't love you yet, stay married to me, because you will find love in it,” said Zain who also approached Annisa wearing a white shirt.

“I was confused, had to choose who, Raihan who loves me or Zain Abah's choice,” Annisa covered her face with both hands.

“If you choose me, I will love you and you will feel lucky to marry me,” Raihan is now kneeling before Annisa.

Zain smiled.

“Annisa, getting married is not about being lucky or not, but getting married about perfecting half the religion, you have to marry me because of Allah, love will grow by itself upon the pleasure of Allah, you will have to marry me,” Zain gives his best smile in front of Annisa.

“Annisa must marry me!,” Raihan turned to Zain.

“The decision is in the hands of Annisa,” Zain replied to Raihan with a smile.

Raihan brought his body closer to Zain, Raihan hit Zain very hard on his stomach, Zain not only kept quiet, he returned Raihan's punch many times. Until making Annisa hit by a blow from the two of them.

“Tidaaaakkkk,” Annisa woke up from her dream.

Annisa continued to be privileged, she realized and vividly remembered her dream.

He was still confused, was it a dream omen from God?.

But he still hesitates when it comes to choosing.

Annisa stepped her foot toward the table where she placed the water. He gulped down the water, with a still dripping tap he returned to his bed and turned on the AC.

He saw a wall clock showing at two in the morning.

After feeling calm, Annisa rushed to the bathroom and took ablution to perform tahajud prayers.

***

Next day.

Annisa came out of the room with a face filled with question marks.

He walked towards the dining table while daydreaming and almost hit the chair in front of him.

Ahsan's sister who realized that, immediately swiftly pulled out her chair.

“Astagfirullah,” Annisa surprised.

“Be careful Nisa, why daydream?,” asked Kak Ahsan.

“Have you found the answer to your isikharah prayer?” Further.

Annisa shakes.

“Not Kak, the answer is still vague,” replied Annisa now sitting in the chair.

***

During the day Annisa felt very thirsty, the weather today was very hot, plus the mood and mind of Annisa were still messy.

He decided to go to the campus cafeteria just to buy a cold drink to quench his thirst.

There Raihan was seen with his male friends, gathering at the cafeteria table with some money on the table. They laughed and so did Raihan.

“What are you sure of?,” asked one of his friends to Raihan.

“Confidently, just wait for the play date,” replied Raihan with a laugh.

After buying a drink, Annisa walked slowly towards the table where Raihan was.

Raihan who realized Annisa's presence immediately stood up from his seat, as well as Raihan's friends immediately closed his mouth into silence.

Annisa looked at Raihan inside. Raihan also looks wrong.

All of Raihan's friends went and cleared the money that was scattered on the table.

Only Annisa and Raihan are left.

Annisa frowned feeling astonished.
