---- - back to Story :
That night, the roof top of a restaurant was booked privately by Yena. Los Angeles, America.
Seen, Zaid has dressed up in an exclusive suit and smelled a masculine fragrance stuck to his body.
Yena looks nervous while enjoying the steak on her plate, while Zaid looks relaxed in every mouthful in her mouth.
They speak in English.
"Mm, Zaid ...," called Yena nervously while removing the stain of the steak sauce on her lips.
"Yes?" zaid replied as he chewed the steak in his mouth.
"There's something important I want to talk about and it's serious" he said nervously.
"Yes, just say it, Babe," said Zaid, who now stared fixedly at his girlfriend's face.
Yena allowed him to sit. He looks restless and it attracts Zaid's attention to keep staring at his lover.
"Do you really love me and want to marry me?"
Zaid was surprised to even stop the chewing in his mouth. He put the fork and knife on the plate slowly.
Yena saw Zaid wiping his lips with a napkin and gulping down the mineral water in front of him.
"Why? You doubted me?" tanya Zaid shifted her plate away from her two hands which were now on the table.
"That's not it, it's just .. I want us to live together, Zaid. I have no one but Manda's aunt's family, and neither do you, Vesper's mistress' family. We are two orphans who are met on an unexpected mission," replied Yena with a downcast face despite occasionally glancing at her lover.
Zaid smiled. "You love me?"
Yena's face blushed, but she nodded. Zaid stretched out both hands and Yena gave her two hands slowly looking embarrassed.
Zaid kissed her lover's fingers softly and made Yena's heart pound harder.
"I love you so much too, Yena. You're different and you can accept our differences well, even though I know you're upset by my requests" she said, practically making Yena move her lips. Zaid.
"Only, you know there's a great fortress blocking our unification, Yena. I once said if .. I can't leave my religion. All this time, my helper was my God. He sends good people who care about me through my prayers. You can understand, right?" tanya Zaid looked at her lover's face fixedly and Yena nodded.
Zaid took a deep breath. "Then how are you?" tanya Zaid looks sad.
"I .. I don't know. I talked about this to Sia. I've been thinking about this all day even I can't concentrate on working on the files as high as the mountain" he replied with a distorted look not daring to look into the eyes of his lover who continued to look at him.
"Hey, don't cry. You know I'm a realistic person. I'm trying to be honest even if it sounds painful and it might disappoint you. Forgetting you is not easy, Yena. You've played too much in my life and I want you to keep filling it up until there's no other woman's name in my heart but yours" Zaid said, clasping his girlfriend's hand.
Yena shed tears. Zaid got out of his chair and hugged his lover tightly. Yena was crying in the arms of her lover.
"I don't want to force you. Well, it might sound a little offensive, but I want you to join my religion, Yena. I will not force you to do 100 percent of my religious teachings to make you perfect as He commanded. Because I'm alone, deviant. I even have a tattoo! I also did illegal practices and I also realized that my God must be disappointed in me about it" Zaid said with a long sigh at the end of his sentence.
Yena chuckled and began to stop the tears while releasing the lover's embrace.
Zaid smiled because Yena was not crying anymore. He closed his seat and looked at his lover's face while wiping away his tears.
"We are imperfect beings, Yena. We'll die someday. We will continue to make mistakes whether small or big every day, but I want us to pray to the same God to ask Him for forgiveness so as not to be tortured too much in hell later," he said slowly, but made Yena laugh again slowly.
"So you want me to embrace Islam, like you?" yena asked softly and Zaid smiled.
"Yes and I realized that there are some differences in your teachings with my religion, but we take the middle path so as not to cause conflict when we both live it later. In fact, you could say, we are pioneers in this. I think a lot of people would agree and understand. It doesn't have to be me, Javier, Eko and Seif. Even those people commit bigger sins than me because they are true mafia, even though they are also aware that killing, selling drugs and marijuana is haram, but. Well, that's what our lives are like, Yena. We commit sins and we pray for forgiveness. May God not be fed up with people like us" said Zaid looks depressed when remembered people in his ranks.
Yena chuckled again and it made Zaid happy.
"So is my religion, Zaid. People I know do the same thing. What difference? We all stray, we are .. abnormal," said Yena affirming and Zaid nodded slowly with a wide smile.
"So .. marry me?" asked Zaid and Yena nodded quickly.
Zaid's smile. Yena looks so happy because they can finally be together even though she has to give up her faith.
Yena felt she was not a devout people and had too many memories with her mother when she embraced her religion.
Yena could not release those memories in her mind and heart. After his mother left him, no one else guided him, not even his father.
Until finally, Yena decided to switch and hope if the choice this time is right.

Uhuk. This time, the eps is a little different. Deliberately catfish sertain because sometimes we face difficult choices especially about religion.
However, catfish is the type of person who responds to something by considering the positive thing is greater than the negative. All that is the choice of each, as others we can only respect do not patronize.
You could say if the rich catfish, lakum dinukum waliyadin means "to you your religion and to me my religion" which is the basis for catfish do not like to interfere in one's faith.
Eps is just an example. Respond wisely to this story because catfish try not to involve the religion or race of a people in each eps presented. Kalopun there must be content in it contains advice and a high tolerance value.
That and the tips. Only the cake the next day is not double eps because there are no tips to enter in SM. Log in at 4YM all๐
Catfish to you๐๐๐
