Silent. For a moment silence struck them. They are busy with their own thoughts. Sofwa's face was bowed in lethargy. He tried to hold back the tears that were about to spill. But his heart said he had to be strong. He has to end it all. He was really determined.
Last night she cried out to God. Ask for directions from him. What steps should he take. In the evening prayer he seemed to be aware that who exactly the man he loved. The right man is in his heart. His memory goes back to Andre. All the memories of the past with Andre were back dancing in his mind. Although Andre had the heart to rob him of his chastity, but still his heart could not be lied to, the sense was still there. And Andre is starting to change. Sofwa believes God has a certain purpose by bringing Andre back to her, God seems to look for a gap so that he does not become married to Fitra. Yep.. Sofea was sure of that.
Lately, Andre has been increasingly intensive in carrying out his actions. Various ways have been done to get an apology from Sofwa. Despite the thousands of insults and anger that came from Sofwa's mouth, Andre remained patient. Sofwa is increasingly upset plus amazed at Andre's persistence, but of course it is not shown directly to Andre. However, Sofwa's heart softens when she meets Nisa, Andre's sister. Nisa looks happy to see Sofwa. He immediately hugged Sofwa, with tears Nisa began to tell everything she experienced since Sofwa left Andre until the news of losing Andre and until he came again with a tremendous change.
“Kak Sofwa... bang Andre has really changed. Andre's brother has become a sholeh man. He never left the obligatory prayer 5 times, even tahajud and dhuha prayers were often done. Every Friday he goes to school in the mosque. Nisa's talking the same way never rough again, even so soft. Bang Andre.. had left his messiat friends a long time ago, never again huddled with them. Drinks and cigarettes were already in his deletions from his mind, and one more bang Andre now has a new job. Although the salary is still small but important halal and toyib kak..” Nisa story at length. Sofwa heard it carefully, without commenting anything. He knew full well that Nisa was an honest girl so he might lie. If it is true that Andre has changed in such a way, there is no reason for him to hate Andre, right? He has apologized many times and wants to take responsibility for his actions by marrying Sofwa. So, what else should Sofwa consider? About Fitra?
“Afwan Sofwa, I can't be long... you know sendirkan ngak good we met for a long time like this without a third person accompanying, you know I mean, Sofwa?” the narration of Fitra awakens Sofwa from his daydream. They were both in the hospital garden. Sofwa who invited Fitra to meet alone there, actually Fitra had rejected it because Fitra was afraid it would bear sin later. Just like the fall he had met with Sofwa, who was still his future wife.
“Iya. I know. I promise this is the last time I invite you to meet.. After that, I will not bother you again Fitra.” said Sofwa flat and with a serious face.
“What does Sofwa mean? I don't understand," asked Fitra astonished to see the change in the way Sofwa spoke.
“I want ... Our wedding is canceled Fitra,” Sofwa said in a firm and loud voice.
Fitra jerks. Did he not hear wrong? Sofwa wants to cancel their wedding which only counts the days? This news really made Fitra shocked. What's up and why? Wasn't what he heard from Raihan himself that Sofwa loved him so much and wanted to marry him. What the hell is going on?
“What's Sofwa? You doubled?” Asked Fitra who was trying to melt the somewhat tense atmosphere. In his eyes Sofwa's face that was not even visible there was seriousness there.
“I'm serious Fitra. I'm not kidding” said Sofwa.
“But, Why?” ask Fitra again.
“I.. I feel bad for you Fitra, me... i.” Sofwa was somewhat stammered and did not continue her words, Fitra seemed to understand what Sofwa was feeling.
“I can understand Sofwa. Didn't I tell you that I can accept you for who you are. Accept you because of God, be it your lack.” said Fitra in a soft voice.
“That's the problem with Fitra, I don't want you to accept me out of pity. For fear of hurting my feelings and not wanting to see me destroyed like I used to. You do not want to make a new wound in my heart again which is now starting to heal, so you want to sacrifice yourself for me even you are willing to sacrifice your love for other women for my sake.” Said Sofwa now with tears in her eyes.
“Emang true. God will replace him. That's why I canceled our wedding. So that you return to Rania, and marry her immediately. That is something better that Allah replaced thanks to your sincerity received me Fitra” Sofwa replied while wiping away her tears.
“Sofwa...?”
“My decision is already round Fitra. My choice. I try to be consistent with what I have chosen, and God willing this decision can be the final decision that will not change again” said Sofwa loudly and firmly. Fitra took a deep breath, as if she had run out of ways to persuade Sofwa again.
“You sure?” Ask Fitra again.
“I'm sure. InsyaAllah... very sure” said Sofwa with a smile. That smile was sincere in Fitra's eyes. Yach!! The Sofwa in front of Fitra is very different from the previous Sofwa. He is so strong and strong.
“Sorry to Sofwa, if this is your decision. I can no longer force you” said Fitra then with a glare.
“No need to apologize, because you are not wrong Fitra. In fact, I thank you because it is from you that I learned a lot with a sincere name, with the name patient. You made me know God better, love Him more than anything. Because if this love had already been lodged in His heart, there was nothing more to fear. Including losing yourself, I once entered the wrong hole and I will never again throw myself into Fitra, you just calm down. By His permission I can rearrange my heart.” Sofwa said confidently.
Fitra was speechless hearing Sofwa's words just now. Sofwa looked very mature, so that made Fitra stunned and did not know what to answer.
“My advice, come back to Rania. Even though I have never met her, somehow I am so sure she is a shaliha woman, a noble hearted woman, pick her up... hopefully Rania is a soul mate from God for you.” Sofwa said in a calm and soothing tone of voice.
Fitra took a deep breath again. In his mind he thought.The confidence in his heart grew stronger in the justice of the Creator. Is this a recompense from Allah for him, because of the sincerity of his heart that will accept all the shortcomings of Sofwa...? if yes... Fitra is grateful. Sofwa has released him sincerely. And now Fitra is back alone. Her marriage to Sofia has been cancelled. So what else should he do? In addition to picking her up, an angel named Rania Nazwa, as Sofwa suggested? Ahhe... Fitra would not know if he did not try it.
“OK. Syukron Sofie... Syukron...” said Fitra with a smile. Sofwa replied with a smile. After that, Without saying anything more, Sofwa immediately left Fitra. Fitra sees Sofwa's departure until she disappears from Fitra's sight. The coolness suddenly seeped into Fitra's heart. Rania Nazwa. I will pick you up, Fitra said in her heart...
