That Tiny Girl is my wife
SERMONS

Inside the car, Rania's cries broke. He dunked his face in the driving while as he pleased. For 6 years, you could say he and Saga rarely fight. Although they had time to ldr when Saga attended S2 in Bandung, but still, their communication is still smooth. Until last month, the ordeal came.

That night, unannounced, kyai nanny boarding school where she became a santri first, came to meet. Not only himself, he came with his wife and son.

Hanafi, he is the 3rd son of the lodge leader. Rania did not know close, only ever rebuked as a form of politeness in kyai children. The handsome man was indeed often talked about by santriwati, but Rania was not interested at all. There was no desire in his mind to marry a kyai, a ustad, or a gus. Because usually, they like to do polygamy.

"Our goal here is to preach Rania's ananda to our son Hanafi."

Kyai's words made Rania stupefied. He doesn't know Hanafi. She is also not an accomplished santriwati who can be known or attract the attention of kyai or nyai. But why did they come to preach it?

Both of Rania's parents were no less surprised. Their gazes instantly centered on Rania. At that instant, Rania shook her head slowly. He doesn't know what this is. Both of Rania's parents know that her daughter is dating Saga.

"How is Rania, do you want to receive the Hanafi sermon?" Siti asked, making Rania more nervous.

Rania looked at her mother who was sitting next to her. The woman with the shady gaze grasped Rania's hand and said softly.

"All decisions are in your hands. Mama and Papa know, you're all grown up and wise enough to make a decision."

Rania of course wants to reject immediately, but there is a sense of arrogance. But whatever it is, his future is at stake here, he doesn't want to sacrifice his feelings for the sake of that arrogance. In addition, he also did not want to betray Saga.

"Previously, i_"

"Sorry, can I have a minute?" Hanafi cuts off Rania's speech. It seemed like the man knew that Rania was about to reject him. "I'd like to talk to you both, sorry I mean both in the open, in the light, yes in the light." Hanafi pointed towards the terrace. He was a little confused to convey his intentions.

"Sorry Umi, Abi, Om ,Tante, I don't mean to take you alone, but there are things that I and Rania have to talk about both."

Kyai and Nyai nodded, as did Rania's parents.

The awkwardness created when Rania and Hanafi were both explored. They sit in chairs with tables as barriers. You could say, they are indeed two people who do not know each other, just limited to knowing.

"I'm sorry, I can't seem to accept your sermon." Said Rania while looking down and creeping the game. He does not want to talk or give false hope.

"I don't demand answers right now, think about it."

Rania shook her head quickly. "I already have a boyfriend."

Hanafi frowned. "Love?"

Rania nodded.

"Wasn't as a woman who has been studying in the lodge for a long time, you know that there is no dating in Islam?"

"It seems you misjudged me. I was once a santriwati, but my faith level is still very low. Your expectations of me are too high."

Hanafi smiled. Maybe he did not know Rania too well, but his heart had been attached to the woman since 8 years ago. At their first meeting, when both were young and still as students. Hanafi is 1 year younger than Rania. Although she has been in Egypt for 6 years, no girl has been able to pull her heart.

"How long have you been dating?"

"6 years."

Surprised also Hanafi heard it. 6 years is not a short time, even more than enough time to install a car.

"Why not get married?"

That question sounded very corny to Rania. Not only Hanafi, some friends, even his parents always ask, when will he and Saga get married? But Rania is female, she can only wait until Saga comes to propose to her.

"There is no good in dating. Even when you touch each other, look at each other, it will lead to sin. It is very different from getting married. Just by kissing the husband's hand alone, it can abort the sin of the wife. Every day will be worth worshiping."

Rania doesn't know, she understands that. But back again, his faith level was not that high.

"I fell in love with you the first time we met. We were the same teenagers then. Even though I'm in love, I can't do anything, can only ask what your name is to one of the sisters. I believe in Rania's destiny. Mate, fortune, death, has been arranged by the above. I've always called my name in every prayer since that day. I asked the one above to make you my soul mate."

"It may be my name in your prayer, but the name of another man in my prayer." Rania reversed the word Hanafi.

Hanafi only smiled at Rania's words.

"We are asking the almighty equally, but I don't know whose prayer will be answered."

For a moment Rania felt trepidation. Who does he expect his prayers to be granted? Still often sin even though they know it is a sin. In front of him now, a devout man. Will his prayer be able to defeat the man's prayer?

No no, Rania shook her head quickly. He was sure God would hear his servant's prayer. And soul mate, it is written, it cannot be changed just because of the Hanafi prayer.

"You know Rania, even when you said you already had a lover, my heart didn't tremble in the least. For me, the soul mate is set. As far as anything is separate, if it is a mate, it will definitely meet. And those who've been dating for a long time, if not a soul mate, still won't be together."

Rania did not seem to like Hanafi's words just now.

"Don't misunderstand my words. I'm not forcing you to accept my sermons. But I ask, think first. At least ask for an almighty guide. As a woman who has studied at the school, I'm sure you know how. I'm giving you a month to think about it." Hanafi stood up. It's not good too long alone, inside, their parents are waiting. "Let's go in."

"Wait." Hanafi stopped his steps hearing Rania's words. "I still cannot accept this sermon. I don't love you, and I don't want to marry either gus or ustad. Because I'll never be polygamous."

Hanafi's smile instantly expanded. "God turned back Rania's heart. And one more thing, not just because a handful of kyai or polygamous ustad, you immediately accuse everything like that. Not like it's real." Hanafi smiled as he shook his head.

"We can make a prenup about that" he continued. "I'll transfer all my assets to you if I'm polygamous. Or you want to make another chapter again, it's up to you. My goal in marriage is to worship and be happy, not to take me to the hell of God. Since I myself know to what extent I am capable of, I will not be able to be fair if I have more than one wife. I'm self-conscious."
