RICH MAN
WHAT A LOVELY LOVE STORY

Reynand was studying with Fahmi at a musholla not far from the man's house. He deliberately brought Erlangga so that the child also studied well and could appreciate his parents more later.

In a separate congregation, Rey is now more focused on learning than the day she is filled with her gut thoughts about a girl who betrayed her. Perhaps, he would completely forget about the girl and would never come back later, studying well so that his parents would not be disappointed.

An hour or so the speaker delivers the material, and then the study is completed. They all go home. But Rey and Fahmi actually chatted in the mosque until an ustadz approached them.

"What do you guys talk about?" ask the ustadz and join the teenager there. While Erlangga he told to wait because it was a talk of people who are suitable for age. While Erlangga is still not old enough to listen to Reynand's curses.

"This is ustadz, there are friends who want to ask about this life partner. There may be a little input from ustadz for him," said Fahmi while giving empty space for ustadz seating.

The man may be the same age as his father. But as for religion, Rey is still looking for him in others. He knew that his father was too preoccupied with work. Rarely did he ask about it, although little by little also his father understood about religion because it still took time to learn. But he did not want to disturb the rest of his possibly exhausted papa. He accepted his papa's proposal to change schools because he wanted to get better.

"Whose name, brother?"

"Reynand ustadz,"

The man nodded and embraced the two. "What would you ask?"

"What if I expected someone to be my partner, but he gave me such a deep wound that I was in this place because of him, too,"

"I mean, broken heart?"

Reynand nodded in embarrassment as she was so embarrassed to tell her heartbroken by the Stars.

"At a young age especially teenagers like you are very vulnerable if the affairs of the heart. Again the times of the visitors approach the opposite sex. Naturally, if you have the same crush of people, yes, you can also expect the same people to be our life partner later. But one thing to remember. All of that is in Lauhul mahfudz, soul mate, sustenance, death. Everything has been determined by Him. Our duty in the world is to prepare ourselves for the Hereafter,"

For a moment the ustadz took a deep breath. "It's disappointing to be left out or what?"

"He promised once, but in the end he broke his own promise and kept me waiting,"

"I chose to stop waiting for him because the waiting time, he never came. He always gave me hope, as if he wanted me too,"

The man smiled. "Have you ever heard the story of Joseph and Zulaikha?"

Fahmi nodded, but he was with Reynand. "Now yes, for example, Rey is trying to pursue women continuously, without remembering who created us. Even many things that may cross our limits, focus on doing it, until we are negligent of our own tasks,"

"Even I dared to yell at my own Mama, Ustadz,"

The man patted Reynand's back. "That is how love makes people blind, what is good we sometimes make bad. Sometimes what is bad is good. Love is wrapped up very beautifully, if people say yes, tai kittens taste chocolate. Yeah, I told you to eat a cat when you're in love, want them?" said the man while laughing which made Reynand and Fahmi shake at the same time.

"When Dik Rey had dared to yell at Mama. Against parents just out of love, leave! Love does not make good people so insolent, just because a broken heart does not mean brave the same parents, and sometimes all will look very beautiful, wiih the world feels like both of them, the others did, that's it. If we think about it, love is really good, seriously. But when was youth just for dating? I honestly felt it once, and I'm sorry I ever hoped. I know I married someone else who I never even thought would be my soul mate, our job is to improve ourselves. We as men are to educate later. And from that, learn well. As a prospective leader in the household, must seek knowledge. Not just for the soul mate, but for the afterlife as well. For the gift of parents,"

"But how can I apologize to my mother, ustadz?"

"Hug, apologize. What Rey has been doing is wrong. And admitting a mistake, a great person is one who feels himself wrong when he is wrong. He is not wrong, he seeks justification. And we return again to our topic at the beginning, which we know was the handsome Prophet Yusuf right, until this Zulaikha has various ways to get his love. But the closer Zulaicha approached Joseph, but he turned away. There was something that Zulaikha realized at that time, he felt empty. The more he pursues, the further he pursues, in the end as he seeks to pursue the love of God. Unexpectedly, Allah moved his heart to Zulaikha by Joseph. We never know who our soul mate is, but when we try to establish ourselves, try to be worthy that God pairs us up with him who is so good. When we keep hoping, chasing, then disappointed. Things get messy, sometimes someone runs into alcohol. Anyway strangely so, some committed suicide because of heartbreak as well. Remember, we all have God, our duty is to obey. We are not the cleanest people, but we are trying to be better people. Sometimes God gives a bitter heartbreak, just because God loves the excruciating pain of hope in man, it does not mean that God hates us and does not want to give us what we expect. But perhaps God asks us to understand and remember Him better. For only to Him shall we return. Hope you can, but don't overdo it. Beyond our love for Him. Many people who have been in relationships for years, even become guests at former weddings. Many people are good at relationships for years, but when maintaining a household, many are killed. Here I don't want to patronize, just that we learn to be better human than before, at least that's it first,"

Slowly Rey nodded while rubbing her face. The memory of him yelling at his mother also flashed. He felt very guilty about the incident.

"Thank you ustadz,"

"Just pray he'll be quiet. Love in silence hurts, because she never knows that we love her. But, when God answers our prayers by giving the person we ask for, isn't that the most beautiful favor? Sometimes not loved by the person we call his name in prayer, but surely every sent God is a person who is certainly His choice. What we think is best is not necessarily best for God. What is best for God is best for our lives. Let's remind each other, fix ourselves. We all have sins, we have mistakes. It would be nice to realize, instead of looking for justification when it's wrong, wouldn't you say?"

Both men nodded. Moreover, Reynand who felt his heart slightly improved, that was why he did not want to play mobile anymore. He just wanted to calm down and focus on learning. Forgetting that was indeed not easy, but after all he had once felt such deep disappointment. We cannot be sure who we will fall in love with, because it all depends on the heart. How do we manage it so well for someone who deserves to be loved, one day.

*There may be many shortcomings that have not been presented here. But try your best the author will learn again and continue to improve the writing. Sorry the author is not a good person anyway, so why this writing starts from adulthood, to religion. Because it connects into one. Process is not good to be good. Compared to good, then to bad. Comments below yes, anything that you can pick from this story. Do not expect all to like, maybe many say (Ah kayak soap operas, cepetan ending dong, and so on) But God willing the next chapter is still long, this is just the beginning. It'll be a lot more interesting and maybe here, Rey is a lot disappointed. In the future, no more. Hehehe, so good looking forward to yes. Don't forget to press the love sign to continue following this story. Let me know when the author updates.
