...It is God who unites and separates every thread of destiny...

Leo stood up awkwardly and tried to explain timidly, I could hear his slightly quivering tone of voice, his eyes staring intently at Louis and also at Mommy and Daddy....?

who exactly is this Leo....?

"eemm, Renata, actually today the one getting married is Louis, not me, and our problem breaking up, it has nothing to do with this marriage or any third person and anything else

t...t..ta.but I want us to break up because I'm trying to organize myself and trying to be a better person.

so sorry, it's not like that I don't want to hurt you, I just want to be good person, so can you understand, I don't want to hurt you, sorry"

(sorry, that doesn't mean I don't love you anymore, I just want to be a better person, so can you understand, I don't want to hurt you, sorry)

Leo looked at Renata, the woman who had now begun to calm down, even her hands were no longer held firmly as before

as if starting to catch Leo's intent he slowly took a few steps back with his head shaking slowly as if to dispel the memories he had just gone through

the two people who had been holding Renata's hand had already let go of his grip when there was no more resistance from Renata and he had started to calm down

"so, do you still love me....?"

(so, you still love me..?)

Renata paused her speech, her eyes looking at Leo closely before then continuing on "but why....? I don't get it, you love me but you left me....?"

(but why...? I don't understand, you love me but you left me.?.?)

his desperate gaze made me a little concerned, but I couldn't do anything either, what could I do, hug him....? that's if Renata doesn't go berserk and instead grabs me as an impingement

being sick from falling in love is a sure thing to happen if that love is leaned on the wrong person, sometimes wishing on humans is a painful thing just right Ali bin Abi Thalib Ra said

"I have felt all the bitterness in life and the most bitter thing is to hope in man"

so, hope only to Allah, in Allah you will not face bitterness

"Rena, you are good person, I believe that you will find good partner, I walk away coz, I love you, I don't want to hurt you with earthly love, that I give you before, I'm sorry"

(Rena, you're a good person, I'm sure if you're going to find a good partner, I'm leaving because I love you, I don't want to hurt you with a pseudo-love like I gave you before, I'm sorry)

I looked at them in confusion, though I was very impressed by Leo's romantic words, but this was in public, and it was witnessed by many

o Allah, why am I always faced with a strange romance drama...?

"I don't get it Leo, I will never understand you Leo if you never tell me directly"

(i don't understand Leo, I'll never understand you wanting Leo if you never tell me directly)

I'm sure Rena is no longer able to hold back her tears that have now flooded her smooth cheeks

I'm still here, still faithfully watching the two of them arguing over their true love is an easy matter, but when dealing with women it does take a longer time and that definitely requires additional patience

because women will put forward feelings, and this will be difficult for men who prioritize logic

this is the importance of us learning about women and their characters and studying men with their characters, so that we can understand each other especially for married couples, understanding each other and understanding the basic character is very important

didn't you...?

thank you to Renata and Leo who indirectly reminded me of this

"Renata, now, I am Muslim, and I try to learn how to be good Muslim, I want to do it in right way, even in terms of love, I want to do it the right way"

(Renata, now that I am a Muslim, and I am trying to learn how to become a Muslim, I want to do it the right way, even if it is just about love, I want to do it the right way, I want to do it right too)

as if Renata was able to catch Leo's point, he turned around and walked away with trembling legs, not one bit he looked back

I even saw him fall down a few times

not much different from Renata, Leo was no better, he was now even crying like a child in Louis' arms

I'm sure Leo actually loves Renata very much, but his love for God can overcome his love for humans so Leo is willing to leave a love that is still not lawful to him because of the great love he has for God

I'm sure he feels the pain of having to leave something he loves and loves, but I'm also sure his heart is feeling calm and peaceful right now

"it's ok, if he's the love that God created for you, In the Lord you'll find he's also in the process of getting better, just like you"

Louis calmly tried to calm down Leo who was still crying, sometimes crying was something needed, when the body was no longer able to do anything, and no longer able to do anything but leave everything to God

there is no harm in men crying, but it would be better if the cry he let out was to ask for God's forgiveness

crying out for regretting the mistake he did before, and crying for forgiveness for his negligence at that time, is not something strange, as long as we are not caught up in the sadness, as long as we are not caught up in it, and make that mistake as a driver to change into a better person, just like Leo is today

because right now what I hear is not only the sound of his crying, but also how his tongue is wet by the istighfar he chanted softly

seeing that my tears were falling all by themselves, I felt that this was even more romantic than any love story, how I did not consider this to be a romantic love story, when he leaves his love all and pursues his true love more

being able to abandon his pleasure for the sake of obedience to the true lover, abandoning what he likes in order to show his loyalty to the true lover, is not it very romantic...?

does not love require proof....? and sometimes proof of love involves great sacrifice

Louis walks Leo to his car, Leo has calmed down and no longer cries, while his mouth is still saying something

he was a brave young man, brave enough to make a big decision in his life, not only did he dare to make the decision to become a Muslim, but he also dared to live out his every consequence of being a Muslim,

"to obey every rule of Islam" which must be very contrary to what he has done before, although I never know what religion Leo embraced before, because I didn't know him before

when the atmosphere calmed down again, many guests had left the mosque, leaving my parents and in-laws as well as a beautiful woman who looked still very much him despite her height beyond my height

ok I am small, but my height is not shorter than the height of Indonesian women in general

"Zu, Zu doesn't know Louis' brother yet....?, honey, this is Mommy's only daughter, Louis' younger sister, Leora"

Mommy patted me on the shoulder, and it managed to shift my focus away from the different Louis and Leo in the car

"hi sister"

(hi brother)

Leora kindly rushed straight into my arms, as she hugged me, I just realized that I seemed to have to drink milk regularly from now on

"happy to have you as my sister"

(it's great to have you as my sister)

she smiled revealing her cute rabbit teeth, she looked beautiful with it

"me to, it's nice to have you as my sisy"

(me too, glad to have you as my sister)

I smiled with cheeks that were pulled tight

she was a friendly girl, and I liked the fact that my husband's family liked and accepted me in the middle of their family

"and he, the crybaby, he's my twin, Leo" ??

I had expected that, but what was a little surprising was the fact that they were twins

"really...? so you are twins...? I think that you more younger than Leo"

(really....? so you're twins...? I thought you were younger than Leo)

I didn't lie when I said that, because I saw Leo's face that looked more mature than Leora's

"oh no, we are same"

(oh no, we're the same age)

Leora swung her lips as she said that, and it looked funny in my eyes and strangely did not look childish when Leora did it

we were teasing Leora when Louis came, he came alone without Leo, maybe Leo is waiting in the car and calming down

"hi"

he greeted first

"hi, Leo...?"

I asked to confirm how my sister-in-law was doing on that one

"he's calmer, wants to go home to mom, or go straight home....?"

I was still digesting what Louis' question meant, and as I understood it quickly I said I wanted to go home to my mother, and was grateful that Louis didn't mind it

we parted ways with Mommy's party upon returning home, and this time I was no longer in Rama's car, but sitting sweetly on the passenger seat that was right next to Louis who was driving

"Zu, Zu has a passport...?"

for what reason Louis asked about it, is it to kill the silence that envelops our journey, or because of something else...?

"God willing, why ask Zu's passport....?"

I asked confused

"wait until home, Zu will know"

his free-raised left hand touched the smooth of my head, and rubbed it gently
