That is Fate
Reason Gus Fathan

Pipa didn't have much to say and he chose to go home first.

An hour later, Pipa went to Abah Kyai's house. He wondered why everyone was gathered there now.

"That's Pipe.." Patul's chirp made Pipe snort annoyed.

With the slow pace of the Pipe getting closer there, and...

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Pipa

"Waalaikumussalam "all sahut.

Pipe's eyes instantly swept throughout the room, suddenly the sight met...

"You?"

At first Pipe was happy to see it, but the pleasure faded when he saw the figure of a foreign woman sitting next to Gus Fathan with a 6-month-old baby who was being held by the woman.

'Who are they?' mummified Pipe.

ekhm

Deheman Abah broke my daydream and I realized I was still standing in the doorway when Abah Kyai told me to come in and sit next to Sasa.

"What the hell is it?" whisky Pipe

"Later also you know, strengthen your heart" said Sasa while patting the back of the Pipe .

The deg!

Pipe began to panic and his heart grimaced a little when the woman was next to Gus Fathan.

"Alright, because already at the gathering, Abah wants to convey the important thing. Honestly, Abah also just found out about this truth. Shock? sure is! the decision he made was very risky let alone having to hurt one of the parties." Abah paused his sentence.

"Fathan, honestly. Abah is disappointed in you. Abah educated you from childhood but Abah never taught you this. Abah does not blame your decision, but Abah does not justify it. Even with a clear reason but at least before you start, there must be a party who knows for what reason? because you're tied up, son!"

"But before Abah invites you to speak, Abah asks Abah's daughter"

Abah saw Pipe "Hafeyfa Silaen?"

"I---iya bah"

"Are you ready to listen to him?"

Pipe furrowed his brows, a second later he nodded.

"Whatever your decision will be, it's your right. But one thing Abah wanted to say, please don't hate Abah, don't hate Lila and this family."

"Sorry Abah, but what is it?"

"If so, let the person in question explain"

Abah's speech made Pipe look at Gus Fathan, while the one who was stared at just lowered his head.

"Son, whatever he said later Abah hope you think about it with a cool head and digest every sentence. Fahim?"

"Fahim bah"

"Please, Fathan"

"The fate of God is difficult to guess, honestly aa' there is indeed his intention to take a diploma. But when aa' wanted to go home, suddenly aa's best friend who was one room with Aa first, he fainted. Aa' panicked and took her to the Hospital. Aa' did not have the heart to miss him, especially after knowing what his illness and plus he also had a wife and baby child. You can see this guy right next door, he's the one."

"What the hell do you mean?" Pipe start studs

"Neng, forgive aa'. But listen to the explanation."

"Nearly two weeks ago, he was conscious and looked very good. But it was his last day in the world..."

Everything cuts "Innalilahi wa innailaihi rajiun"

"Before he died, he had put his wife and child in aa' . At first aa nodded and intended to bring to Indonesia to become a teacher in Abah pesantren. But at that time he had to be operated on and he did not want to be operated on if-" said Gus Fathan cut off.

"If she doesn't marry him, does she?" the baritone voice shocked everyone.

Gus Fathan nodded weakly "I'm sorry aa' neng, aa have no other choice. Forgive aa!"

"A-p-a? jad-i be-really di-a is-tri Aa?"

Gus Fathan nodded back.

"Hikss... After marriage why not contact neng a'? wh why? At least told not to misunderstand."

"Sorry neng, I don't dare to call even Abah doesn't know it. Aa' was afraid to hate AA, but eventually realized that neng also deserved to know."

"Hahahahha is so funny to you, it's been a joke!" pipe said with a laugh while her tears kept flowing .

"Neng sorryin Aa but aa has also spoken beautifully. He has also allowed if aa wants to marry again, he is willing to be in honey neng."

Everyone looked shocked, even more so Pipe, was anxious to feel like she was strangling the man who was in front of her.

"Yes mbak, I'm Ikhlas" continued the woman named Indah.

"How did you decide?" ask Abah.

The smiling Pipe made Gus Fathan a little relieved and imagined that Pipe would forgive him."

"Bismillah, I forgive you Gus Fathan..." He spoke softly but emphasized his sentence.

Gus Fathan smiled but his smile faded as Pipe continued his sentence again.

"But, there's this tapi.." this time Pipe's face turned serious.

"I cancelled our wedding. Sorry, I do not want to be honey because I know for sure the taste in honey is sick. I choose to be a poison to myself. For the two of you, be happy!" pipe said while putting the ring on his ring finger.

"I'm sorry Fifa, brother. Fifa cannot continue this bond. Fifa please, do not hate Fifa" said Fifa, who stood before Abah.

"You're not wrong, son, your decision is right. I am proud of you"

"Fifa already loved Abah and the others" Fifa said with a smile.

"Son.." said Ummah.

Fifa hugged the woman and tried not to cry.

"I'm sorry Ummah, hiksss"

"Ummah not wrong, Pipa dear equally ummah."

After that Pipe left, he wanted to calm his heart.

"Pipe out first, assalamu'alaikum"

"Girisham"

"Pipe, wait!!!" yelled the guys making Pipe step stop for a while, then...

"Please, I just need some time, leave the cave alone guys..."
