MY BOYFRIEND LECTURER
SN 66'S
Arkhan has even been a frequent adhan, also appointed a priest because of his good voice and eloquent reading. unfortunately Arkhan is still firmly in his belief and does not want to convert despite having done many things in the activities of Muslims. His heart has not been moved. He studied Islam, and his duties in the cottage were limited to being close to his best friend. The figure of a friend who he considers one way, in line, and has a conscience willing to sacrifice.
On the eve of graduation from the cottage, Arkhan admitted to Bukhori that he was not a Muslim. He remained firm in his stance not to convert even though he had been pursuing and studying Islam which he only used as a stepping stone.
After graduating from the cottage, Aran went to college out of town. I don't know where his best friend went. Since then, Arkhan has broken off communication with Aran. Arkhan is like losing a playmate, losing his precious treasure, also losing his place. All this time, Aran has been like a brother, father, and teacher to him. Aran, being the first to bring him to understand Islam more deeply.
Until now, Arkhan felt very longing for Aran, the friend who first introduced him to who God is, although until now the door of Arkhan's heart has not been knocked to get closer to God. But he always wished he could meet Aran.
Zalfa was moved to hear Arkhan's story. Although initially Arkhan's intention to know Islam only because he wanted to always be close to his friend named Aran, but it certainly seemed so great Arkhan's desire to explore the science of Islam. It is evident from Arkhan who is so eloquent with lafaz adhan, fluent with the holy verses of the Qur’an, and understand the laws of Islam. Up to his own consciousness, Arkhan struggled to gain knowledge by entering the boarding school which was very strict with regulations and crowded with religious routines. Humans who are born Muslims are not necessarily willing to be that strong. But Arkhan, he was born into a non-Muslim family. But his persistence in gaining religious knowledge is very high. This is the answer why he looks very familiar with Bukhori, it turns out he is one of the students in the boarding house owned by Ustad Bukhori. This is why Arkhan changed the name of Jonathan Joseph to Ibadullah Al Arkhan.
“Arkhan, recite the verse that became the dowry for me before you recite it in front of the witnesses.”
Zalfa's skin is back. He did not expect Arkhan to have memorized it. The clear gem plan at both corners of her eye pellets was puddling and dripping. Zalfa's stained fingers removed the tears on her cheeks after Arkhan had finished reciting the verse. Now, the religious lessons Arkhan got in the cottage will be his handle, the lessons he will practice in his daily life. That's what's on Zalfa's mind.
“Now, wear this ring!” Arkhan offered Zalfa the ring box the other day. The authoritarian tone was clearly heard in his sentence. The look in his eyes added to the authoritarian impression.,
Zalfa was stunned and speechless. But the next second his hand extended forward, then touched the ring. Somewhat doubtfully, Zalfa pinned it on the left ring finger.
