Pledge of Love Rumi
the worried heart

Rumi's face turned away, she propped her elbow on the handle of the chair, closing her smiling lips with her fist. Can't hide her joy, seeing Debby. Especially when the cup rang because of Debby's trembling hand.

Debby's eyes lifted slowly looking at the man. He also looked down again with a smile, and then moved. Debby took the time to smile at Ustadz Irsyad who replied with a one-time nod.

Aunt Maryam also smiled at Debby, making the girl walk quickly to enter.

Ustadz Irsyad. "I'll continue, Ci."

"Please, Sir." Maryam.

"Yes, I would like to ask Cici for help, to convey our goodwill to Debby's family, because I intend to apply for Debby's son."

The deg...! Debby, who was still in the living room, froze.

Maryam turned her head for a moment towards Debby, the girl looked down.

"Emmm...?" Maryam confused herself, in this still-heating situation? How could he have agreed. But seeing this goodwill, especially the expressions of the two children, it seemed like they liked each other. Maryam was still silent, then sighed.

"So sir, I'm very happy. When you hear good intentions, father and father. But... Here I have not dared to guarantee, everything will be smooth. And yet dare not to agree." Maryam.

"Yes Ci... It's okay, we're not in a hurry. Please consult first. And if if we could come to Bandung to apply directly to his parents, then soon we'd do that."

Maryam smiled wryly, she turned her head again towards Debby who was still down.

"Yes sir, I will tell Papah and Debby's mother first. But, if there were?" Maryam stopped her saying she was confused saying it. For fear of offending the two men.

"Tell me, Ci. We're okay." Ustadz Irsyad.

"Yes, look... The problem is the relationship between Debby and her family at this time can be said is not okay. I can only convey that. Because I was worried when the father and his mas would be disappointed, after getting an answer from the family. I hope you understand what I mean." Very carefully Mary spoke like that. So as to make Ustadz Irsyad bearded, he seemed to understand what the situation was like.

"Yes Ci, here's how. Cici can call my wife's number when she gets the answer. Whatever the answer will be? We'll take it." The Tukas ustadz Irsyad.

"Thank you very much sir." Maryam smiling. He offered them tea in front of them, as well as biscuits near their cups.

Ustadz Irsyad also took the time to write down Rahma's phone number and handed it to Maryam, before finally moving on and saying goodbye, because their business was done.

"Hows it? Do you want to accept him?" Maryam asked, grabbing Debby's chin and lifting her up and wiping the tears away.

"Debby's confused." Answer the girl. "One way, Debby's willing to accept it, but what about Papah and mama?"

"Tante's going to Bandung tomorrow. To talk to your papa."

"But Papah was disappointed. Debby's afraid, Aunty will be maki-maki same papah. Prefer this, Debi's afraid of Aunt." The girl hugged her aunt tightly.

"So how? Do we just refuse? Because this situation is still really hot."

Debby shaking. "Debby likes that guy." Answer irent. "Debby confused Aunt. Hicks."

Maryam rubbed her back gently trying to calm her heart. "Later tonight, Auntie will wake you up. We prayed the night together, yes, to ask for directions."

"Yes, Aunt."

***

A few days passed, this afternoon Debby had just finished her work. And he kept silent for a moment in his chair before returning home, because it was already home hours too, and it was a little past even a little while in Maghrib time.

Some of his friends have also gone home... Since changing beliefs, it turns out not all accept. Some are still friends with him, some are like avoiding. Not to mention the clothes are shar'i. So it invites a lot of questions from them.

Not only non-Muslim friends, but also fellow Muslims who also stay away. I don't know, maybe it's because Debby doesn't seem cool to them anymore. He rarely spoke, was more silent and spent more time reading Islamic books.

Debby also understood, now not all Muslims want to practice prayer. Like when he invited his friend to the mosque first at lunchtime. Instead, they ignore the call of God just for the sake of ****bomb, and still leave it on the grounds that there is work to be completed, whereas prayer does not take long, but prayer does not take long, but why are they - they are so easy to leave prayer without guilt?

Not to mention, not infrequently Debby did not dare to go into one of the rooms for photo copy.when inside there was a pair of men and women who were adulterous little in the room, there was a little, in office hours. Precisely in an unnoticed corner of CCTV. Have they no fear of their Lord, who has never let go of his sight even once. Is not God watching us? But why do humans like the very deeds of Allah SWT hate? For the sake of momentary enjoyment.

But that is human, they have the ambition to die well and can go to heaven. But their duties are also reluctant to do. Even consider a friend's invitation that leads to kindness, considered as pretentious as the swearing of a friend who accused him of Islam only yesterday but had dared to patronize.

Yep... Debby just smiled, she understood that this world was not the best place to compete for the good for the view of people, who were more ambitious to get worldly possessions. Because they will only enjoy what they like, and do not want to be burdened by the things that should be their duty as beings who are given temporary shelter by their Lord.
