NIGHT BUTTERFLY
#248
The night is late. Master Izzul Islam still leaned his body near Rianti lying down. After four nights of praying istiharah, he felt it was time to deliver it to Rianti.
Master Izzul Islam turned towards Rianti who looked peaceful in his sleep. Master Izzul Islam smiled. Rianti's hair rubbed gently. Rianti opened his eyes slowly.
"Astaghfirullah, I'm sorry, Brother. I interrupted my sister's sleep" said Master Izzul Islam after realizing Rianti was awake from his sleep. Rianti smiled as he rubbed his eyes.
"It's okay, Brother Master. After all, I shouldn't have slept while Brother Tuan was still awake" Rianti said. He then lifted his body and laid his head on the chest of Master Izzul Islam. While looking at Master Izzul Islam, his hands gently twitched the chin of Master Izzul Islam.
"What's wrong? Brother, you haven't slept?" ask Rianti. Master Izzul Islam smiled. Rianti's hair was rubbed back. He sighed long.
"Actually, there's something I want to talk to you about." Master Teacher Izzul Islam turned his gaze towards the calligraphy writing hanging on the wall. Rianti frowned. It seems like there is something important that Master Izzul Islam wants to talk about.
"Tell me what you want to say" said Rianti. Master Izzul Islam smiled.
"But you have to promise. You will not be angry" said Master Izzul Islam. Rianti stared fixedly at the eyes of Master Izzul Islam. He tried to guess what would be conveyed by Master Izzul Islam. Master Teacher Izzul Islam smiled and poked Rianti's chin when he saw Rianti just silent while watching him.
"Would you like to get married again?" ask Rianti.
"Ee..," Master Izzul Islam scratched his head.
"Perhaps," continued Master Izzul Islam briefly. Rianti raised his head. Now he sits in a position facing Master Izzul Islam.
"Cock maybe?" ask Rianti.
"If you will" replied Master Izzul Islam briefly.
Rianti shook his head.
"We have agreed. If Kak Tuan wants to marry again, then Kak Tuan must pocket the permission of the three wives of Kak Tuan. We must call Qurratul Aini and Jamila. If we have agreed, then Brother Tuan may remarry," Rianti said. Master Izzul Islam smiled.
"How are you?"
Rianti raised both eyebrows.
"If I were, whoever the lady of your choice, sir, I would have allowed it. But my permission was not enough before there was permission from both of them" Rianti said. He then laid his body with his head on the chest of Master Izzul Islam.
Master Izzul Islam raised his head. He was silent for a moment. Rianti Fak tried to rebuke him. He just watched Master Izzul Islam who seemed to smile at himself. Because Rianti never went to rebuke him as he wanted, Mr. Guru Izzul Islam turned his head. His fingers were inserted on the sidelines of Rianti's hair.
"Actually?"
Rianti looked up at the face of Master Izzul Islam. He is still waiting for the continuation of the words of Master Izzul Islam.
"I want to propose to Layla."
Sontak Rianti raised his head and got up.
"If it were Layla, I'm sure Jamila and Aini would agree. No need for deliberation first. Just by calling, tonight must be done," said Rianti enthusiastically. Master Izzul Islam smiled. He saw Rianti's face for a long time. Rianti's forehead then let him softly sniff.
"I want to propose Layla to Dik Fahmi" said Mr. Izzul Islam. Rianti gave a long sigh. He held both cheeks of Master Izzul Islam and pinched it.
"iih, Brother Sir sucks. Why not just get to the point," Rianti said with a sullen face. Master Izzul Islam immediately embraced him.
"You don't agree with Dik Layla Fahmi" said Mr. Izzul Islam.
"That's okay. Maybe I thought of it earlier than Brother Tuan" replied Rianti.
"Keep, why didn't you say it?"
"I'm still waiting for Sir. I fear. Don't let when I betrothed Fahmi to Dik Layla, her Master sister also wanted Layla," Rianti said.
"And I told you. For a while, my wife was pretty much three first. You guys are the ones making it,"
"Sir Tuan, there are plans to add more?"
Master Izzul Islam raised both shoulders.
"There's no plan, but we don't know what God's plan is going to be,"
Rianti turned towards the wall clock. It's two o'clock at night. He took his blanket and covered part of his body. Then he closed his eyes. Master Izzul Islam scrunched his forehead. He was astonished to see the smile continues on Rianti's lips with eyes closed. Master Izzul Islam poked Rianti's cheek.
"What are you smiling at? What's up?" ask Master Izzul Islam. Rianti opened her eyes. His smile was wide.
"Can't wait for dawn. Want to quickly notify dik Fahmi. I am so happy, Sir. But hopefully in Layla it will be the same at Fahmi," said Rianti. Master Teacher Izzul Islam nodded his head and laid his body slowly beside Rianti. Rianti's body then hugged him tightly. Rianti smiled spoiledly as he swiped his back on the chest of Master Izzul Islam.

Layla who was lying on her saucer jumped up when she heard the sound of her bedroom door being knocked. He fixed the face he was wearing and immediately stepped towards the door. Slowly he opened the door to his room. And how shocked he was to see two men at his doorstep. Spontan Layla shuts the door to her room. The breath goes up. He rubbed his eyes and was silent for a moment at the door. He still could not believe what he had just seen. From where the two men he knew appeared and suddenly just outside his room.
Layla's hand shook as she held back the door leaf and opened it slowly. This time Layla was just stunned staring at the two handsome men who were smiling at her. Not getting there, one of the men held her hand and pulled her slowly out of her room. Although still confused, Layla came along when the man took her to walk into the living room.
Layla looked back. The other man also held his hand from behind.
Suddenly Sofia and Nurasmin appeared from the front. It made Layla startled and tried to let go of the handrails of the two.
Layla surged in shock and woke up from her sleep. He took a deep breath and took it out slowly. Fahmi and Master Guru Izzul Islam reappeared in his dream on the fourth night after two nights before nothing was seen in his sleep. This time it felt so real. Even the former handrails both still felt warm and like they were still holding his hand.
Layla sighed softly. He felt it was enough to deduce the instructions God had given in his dream. Her soul mate is one of the two. There is no need to assume that one of the two is better than the other. And the beat in his heart was, from the first time he dreamed of both, more inclined to both than to the other candidates.
"Bismillah." Layla got up from her seat after taking off her face and placed it on her alphabet. His smile was knotted as he glanced towards the wall clock. It's 3 p.m. His heart became calmer now. No longer burdened with choices that previously disturbed his mind. Had Fahmi or Mr. Izzul Islam come to propose to him tonight, he would immediately answer Yes. Layla covered her mouth with the back of her palm as she began to yawn. But it's soon dawn. It's good he took ablution' and taught while waiting for dawn time to arrive. Layla raised her body slowly. He then stepped steadily out of the house to take ablution water'.
