Short Stories of Islamic Love
The Prospective Priest for?


Lila has lived in this city for almost five years. City of a thousand stories because of the hustle and uniqueness of the place. Not only are they neighbors and their surroundings. Already almost 4 semesters lila dabbling, sitting in college. Faculty of natural sciences. He deliberately chose that major since High School because it was one of the lessons he loved so much. And deepened in college to be more steady and expert. My parents were very supportive of what he chose.


It was in Depok City that she lived with her older sister. Not only college, he also teaches at one of the Kindergartens not far from where his brother lives. Lila's older sister never had any doubts about her sister. Because her brother has long known her character and personality lila everyday. She was beautiful, tenacious, diligent, clever and deft. So no wonder he is trusted to continue his study program at one of the top universities in Depok.


On monday. The day everyone started their activities. Whether it's work, college, school and others. So with lila. Prepare to study in college. While preparing the bags and books on the study table, Lilah glanced to the side over the walls of her room in light blue and there was a small circle that was always ringing every day. Wall clock. Time is 07:00. He rushed to the residents of the house who were ready for breakfast together.


“hay mba lila?”. Sapa aldy's. Lila's first niece from her brother welcomes the arrival of lila at the dining table. “hayy aldy handsome…! how is the night sleeping?”. Tanya lila was curious. “it was cold once mba. to the point that aldy's hand hugged umi who slept beside aldy overnight”. Answer aldy like want to tell a story. “iya lila, last night was cold when yesterday afternoon was hot for mercy!”. Add mba lusi while giving dishes to lila. Yes that's mba, lately the weather in Indonesia is uncertain. Sometimes rain, sometimes hot”. Answer lila explained.


This time Depok panass. Unlike usual cold accompanied by a gust of wind that pierced the skin bone. This morning is quite hot to the point that the sweat splashed like water. Though a few minutes ago before leaving for college, Lila took a shower first.


Changes and changes do not only occur in the weather, time will continue to change according to calculations. Today is August. Not felt, eid el fitri passed after 1 month. And early August it was wet. That's how I dubbed it earlier this month. The first day of the month is raining incessantly. I'm stuck on campus. I can not go home because I did not bring an umbrella at all. “ forced, must wait to subside first”. Lila was upset. Lila came home an hour longer than usual. The rain that fell on the city of Depok made him shiver with cold.


On a quiet night again quiet, cold accompanied by a breeze that pierced the bones.The streets depok wet because of the rain this afternoon. Hikers go back and forth on the outskirts of the city while folding both hands on the chest looking for warmth. The vehicle then drenched its rain victim this afternoon. Likewise with Lila, can only see the city vehicle behind the window of his room. A blue blanket depicting the flowers in the semi musin accompanied her provided warmth. It's just that his mind and heart are like thinking of something. “men it”. He said softly while draping his arms into small pads on top of his dip.


He was nervous and agitated when a male acquaintance of his sister-in-law came to propose about a month ago. But, amazingly the man never wanted to meet with lila. Lila was constantly curious. But he was sure that the man who came to his house was the chosen man of Allah who deliberately sent for him. Lila believed she was intelligent, wise, and obedient to Him. With confidence but wrapped in confusion lila can only leave it to the owner of love. Alloh. The soul mate has already determined. Lila smiled sweetly at the thought of the man. “if this can get closer to Him, why not?”. Say lila while pulling the blanket thick because the night really starts to cool.” Bismika Alloohumma Ahyaa Wa Bismika muut”.


Early in the day, at exactly 03:00 lila opened her eyes. This is the right time for Lilah to pour out her heart over all the turmoil and joy that befalls too. The Orchestral sound of the Godly Beings complements the cold of the night and welcomes lila with her melodious voice. After the ablution water had completely awakened the lila from his sleep, he laid out a prayer mat with a golden dome, a fragrant white cloth accompanied him to prostrate to Allah. Alhamdulillaah.lila always took the time to rejoice. Almost every third of the night he woke up to pray tahajud and continued to read al-qur’an.


“tok... tok... tok...” sound door resuscitate lila from the chant of ayat al-qur’annya. Lila woke up and immediately opened the door.


“ini de, there's something you want to say. You still remind the time of the man who came to the mother's house one month ago?”. Ask Lusi while explaining.


“oh it. yes brother I still remember”. Think lila long.


“nah. for that you ask permission a few days not to go to college, we go back first to Bandung to discuss your wedding procession with the man.” Pinta kak lusi's.


“oh so yes brother.. in syaa Alloh can. I will try to ya” replied Lila with a smile.


“alhamdulillaahh. Hopefully everything goes well according to plan. Said lusi expectantly.


“amin brother, hopefully.” Lila was supportive.


The conversation between the brothers and sisters between lila and kak lusi raises haru and sad. Sad because happy.


The curiosity that struck for so long and the hope that awaited lila has been answered. Perfecting religion by carrying out the sunna of his Majesty, SAW, which not all mankind is able to be born and bathed. But a lila, a woman who is sholeh and Alloh gives him a man who is sholeh anyway. In shay, until that time comes.
