The Love Story of Two Pearls
43. Hidayah

"Wil, you take the car, I'm tired again" Yusuf said as he gave Wildan the keys.

"Yes, yes" said Wildan manut.

Today, Yusuf, Wildan, Abi Hasan and Umm Ulfa will attend the grand tabligh held at one of the big mosques in Jakarta. Sukma's mother could not come because she was at the house of her brother who was not healthy.

They went in Joseph's car. The distance between Abi Hasan's house and the mosque is not too far, it only takes 35 minutes. During the trip, they exchanged stories.

"Wil, how are you developing with Anna?" asked Yusuf lirih.

"Today she had dinner at my restaurant with a guy, I thought she was her boyfriend turned out to be just a friend, oh yeah I've also met him directly" the answer is also subtle so as not to be heard by Ummi, but unfortunately, Ummi's ears are so sensitive when it comes to women.

"So, Wildan also had a candidate well" said Ummi Ulfa suddenly startled them by advancing his body forward so that he was in the middle between Joseph and Wildan who was sitting in front, although his body is still partly in the second row of the car.

"Eh Ummi, no, Wildan is just a casual acquaintance anyway" Wildan said.

"really? but Ummi's premonition says that this girl has a special position in your heart" Ummi Ulfa said as she lowered her eyebrows.

"Ummi can, no Ummi" Wildan's eyes with a forced smile.

"We pray for Ummi, that Joseph and Wildan will be united with his soul mate" said Abi Hasan who had been silent since hearing his wife's chatter.

"Well, isn't Joseph already there?" wildan asked astonished at Abi Hasan's words.

"We have not married Wil, how have you been" Joseph replied.

Not felt, their car reached the parking lot of a very crowded mosque.

"Eh Yus that's not Yasmin yah?" tanya Ummi pointed towards the 2 girls who were standing looking at the children playing.

Hearing Yasmin's name, Yusuf immediately followed the direction of Umminya's view. And sure enough he managed to capture the figure of Yasmin from a distance.

"Ommi's really Yasmin, uh but she's not alone, is that Anna?" yusuf muttered while poking Wildan who was beside him.

Wildan who poked directly follow the direction of Ummi and Yusuf's view.

"True Yus, she's Anna, but Allah she's wearing a hijab" Wildan said with sparkling eyes.

"Husss, keep your eyes open" said Yusuf swinging his hand before Wildan's eyes.

"You see what the hell? very compact" asked Abi curious.

"Abi, come here, Ummi wants to know Abi with Yasmin, Yusuf's candidate" Ummi Ulfa said enthusiastically as he pulled Abi Hasan's hand.

Joseph and Wildan, who saw Ummi and Abi walking toward Yasmin and Anna, inevitably also walked behind them.

"Ann, why are you so scared?" yasmin asked, who had seen Anna since then, silently watching the children play.

"Oh no Yas, I just feel very small compared to these children, I should have set an example to them about closing the aurat, but these are even those who taught me about closing the aurat" said Anna herself.

Hearing Anna's words, Yasmin smiled and embraced Anna.

"Yes Yas, I was surprised, all this time I did not know my own duty as a Muslim" murmured Anna wiped her tears that managed to escape to her cheek.

"I am sure that you are an obedient servant of Allah, you always keep your prayers five times, you guard yourself from the illicit things, you keep your words when you speak, although barbaric but your words can always be controlled so as not to hurt people. Blessed is Ann, God loves you so much that He sends these children as your reminder that you will be more obedient to Him". Yasmin said helping to rub Anna's cheeks gently.

"Assalamu' alaikum" said a middle-aged woman greeting from the side.

"Wa'alaikum greetings" Yasmin and anna replied simultaneously as they turned toward the source of the voice.

"Ommy?" yasmin looked at Ummi Ulfa and kissed her hand and turned her eyes to Joseph, Wildan and a middle-aged man.

"Yasmin, know this Abinya Yusuf" Ummi said as he embraced Abi Hasan.

"Abi?" yasmin saw Abi Hasan and kissed his hand.

"God is so beautiful, son, lucky Joseph if he managed to get you" said Abi Hasan glanced at Joseph who began to misbehave.

"Thank you very much Abi" said Yasmin smilingly looking at Abi and turning her eyes to Yusuf and smiling.

"Oh yes, Ummi, Abi, meet this friend of Yasmin, her name is Anna" said Yasmin introduced Anna who had been stunned to see Wildan who looked more handsome when wearing peci.

Anna then followed Ummi Ulfa and Abi Hasan alternately.

Just like Anna, Wildan was stunned to see Anna who became more beautiful when wearing a hijab.

"Astaghfirullah. astaghfirullah, spy, please take care of your servant, do not be neat, he is not halal" Wildan's mind nagged his own eyes, then looked down.

Ummi who saw Anna and Wildan who had been stealing each other looked up and spoke.

"Ekhem, Anna, do you know Wildan? he is Yusuf's best friend" Ummi Ulfa said.

"Oh yes Ummi, yesterday we were also new acquaintances of Ummi" said Anna smiling.

Wildan seems misbehaved when Ummi introduces him to Anna, but that's why Wildan is very good at hiding it with his casual face.

"Yes Ummi, yesterday we accidentally met and finally got acquainted" Wildan said, making Umm Ulfa smile meaningfully.

While seeing Ummi busy introducing Wildan to Anna, Yusuf advanced in front of Yasmin.

"What did you ride here?" joseph asked basah.

"Retail the online taxi" Yasmin said, looking down.

"Oh, kirain got on Anna's motorcycle" Yusuf said, then made Yasmin and Yusuf laugh.

"Ekhem. There is Abi loh here" Abi quipped making the two immediately misbehaved.

They finally entered the mosque later. Abi Hasan, Joseph, and Wildan made their way to where the congregation of men had gathered. While Umi Ulfa, Yasmin and Anna walked to the place of female worshipers. The teaching takes place with wisdom.
