The Destiny of Love Rania
CHAPTER 42 (BACK)

A sound of footsteps could be heard. The footsteps were so rushed, that they broke the silence that night. A man stopped at a small house and hesitantly knocked on the door. First beat, no answer. The second beat, the same. There's still no answer. Understand the day is late at night, the owner of the house must have been comfortable in his long sleep.

The man sat down in front of the door. Looks like he'll have to wait here until tomorrow morning. It was not important tomorrow that he could meet his sister, whom he had long missed. Thought the man in his mind.

“Hai Ndre, why do you sleep here?” The screams of a man woke Andre from his sleep. Andre opened his eyes. His eyes felt glare as the sun shone its light towards his eyes.

“Astagfirullah, it's morning.” Andre said while standing.

“Iya is morning. Why are you sleeping outside?” Asked Rido, his playmate since childhood.

“I haven't prayed” Andre said after realizing he hasn't prayed dawn yet. He rushed to Mushola, not far from his home. Rido followed Andre while laughing out loud.

“Hahahaha... lu ngigau or trance? Since when do you know prayer?” ledek Rido laughed at Andre out, but Andre did not care at all about his friend's ridicule. He immediately took ablution and performed prayers even though his time was up. It is because of a knowledge that he found that Allah will forgive and grant leniency to the one who is asleep and forgotten so that his prayers are left behind.

“Ndre? Lu why?” This time Rido asked in a serious tone. He waited for Andre to finish praying with a thousand question marks on his shoulders. Andre, a high-class thug he knew to pray? No way! There must be something wrong nech, Rido thought in his heart.

“Alhamdulilah.I am not the old Andre Do, I have changed. I have found the real peace of life” said Andre after he finished praying.

“Hah? What kind of tranquility of life?” asked Ridho with a look of wonder.

“Precision as it approaches Him. Returned to Him. Repent to Him. Allah Swt. Which I have left for a long time.” said Andre with a serious face.

“I can't believe it. You must have doubled Ndre? There's no way you're this weak. Andre who I know is not as weak as this, not complacent with the boring and sickening activities that. all this time you do not know religion even you do not know God. That's the new Andre that I know.” said Ridho who still does not believe in the drastic changes of his friend.

“The father came not to choose Do people, anyone has the right to achieve that guidance... someone read this hadith to me that ‘Whoever Allah guides then nothing can lead him astray and whoever He misleads then nothing can be pointed at him (HR. Ahmad, Abu Dawud, atTirmidhi). And thank God, I can change now. Ayok if you want to change also let me know with Ustad who has guided me for 2 months.” invite Andre with a big smile.

“No.. No. I am not ready to bind myself to the teachings of religion. I'm a regular free Ndre. You know that, right?” said Ridho who immediately rejected it with a loud voice.

“Ya. I'm not forcing. Oya, I have to go home. I had to meet Nisa before she left for school” Andre said then stood up and walked out of Mushola.

“Nisa no longer lives there Ndre, since you left she brought her friend to stay at her friend's house” said Rido.

"That's it, Do? Where's the friend's address?” ask Andre.

Nisa felt an overwhelming shock when there was someone embracing her from behind. He let go of the embrace violently and turned his head back and it turned out that his frustration turned instantly to be happy when he saw Andre standing behind him with a loose smile instead of the usual smile that Nisa often received.

“Bang Andre?” Shouted Nisa.

“Iya dear, this is your brother.” Andre said, not caring by him a few pairs of eyes saw him in astonishment. He was not ashamed to shed tears. The tears he had long stored, the feelings he had always covered with his former high ego.

“Sorry to Nisa's brother. There are so many mistakes you have made. Brother has left you, hurt you, and spoken harshly to you. Forgive brother Nisa. Changed as you want... You see now... brother has been dressed as you draw it. dressed in cocoa and copy.... You are happy right Nisa? You want to apologize brother right?” said Andre.

Nisa's cry spilled instantly. His prayer has been fulfilled. His hopes and dreams come true. It's like a dream for Nisa, Nisa's so happy. Thank you God.. You have returned my old brother. Nisa's gratitude in her heart.

...@@@...

            There is one thing that still holds Andre in his heart. Although Nisa had forgiven him and returned to their home, but he still felt unsettled, he still felt very sinful to someone. Someone who used to fill his days. Someone who loved him so much, who accepted himself for who he was, he was Sofwatun Nayla. If remembering about the woman really makes Andre's heart like sliced. What recompense has he given to a woman as good as Sofwa? He is evil, very evil. Andre has to make amends for his mistakes. Andrepun intended to meet Sofwa at her home, begging her for mercy even if she could kneel before him.

Andre did not want to procrastinate again, that day he went straight to Sofwa's house. He has prepared the mental and consequences that he will receive later, both from Sofwa himself and from Raihan, the twin sister of Sofwa who loves him so much. It only takes 15 minutes to get to Sofwa's house. And now Andre is standing right in front of Sofwa's door. Andre knocked on the door slowly, he was a little nervous and scared. But, he should be able to fight against his nervousness and fear.

“Assalamualaikum..” Andre said his greetings with a trembling voice. The voice of a man answered his greeting from within. Andre's sure it must be Raihan. His heart suddenly thumped. He always avoided Raihan because he knew Raihan was always looking for him and was eager to teach him a lesson and now he was like taking his life directly before Raihan. Raihan's footsteps approached the door, making Andre sweat cold, then the door opened. Andre took a deep breath. Get ready for him...

Raihan was shocked. His eyes immediately shot a sharp glare towards the man in front of him at this moment. The man she hated. Raihan clutched both his hands. Quickly and swiftly a punch floated into Andre's face. What a powerful blow. Fresh blood flowed on Andre's lips and nose. Andre was silent, not one bit to retaliate. Maybe this blow deserves it. Yach! He deserves it.
