The Pledge of Love The Hafizh Qur'An
forced

Noah opened his eyes again as A'a let go of the embrace, and smiled again.

"Adzan. We're trawih yuk." Bring A'a.

"Noha can permit another day? No, no, no, no. A'."

"Why?" Faqih saw that Noah's face began to sweat a grain of corn. "Why is he pale? Sick huh?" Wiping that sweat.

"No A'... Just tired. So Noah prayed at home."

"Seriously? A'a worried about neng."

"Just tired A', really..." Answer Noah slowly. He had no energy to speak out loud. Faqih also kissed his forehead, both of Noah's cheeks and ended up on his lips.

"Yes, I've been to the mosque first."

"Yes." Yeah." Smiling weakly. Faqih was not sure to leave Noah, but seeing Noah's smile made him believe that he was okay made him immediately move to prepare for the mosque.

After A'a came out, Noah drank the water again until it ran out, and the pain subsided again, Noah could breathe a sigh of relief now. He can't be like this, maybe tomorrow he'll talk this over to A'a and ask A'a to accompany him to the doctor.

In Bandung...

This afternoon the whole Debby family was preparing to attend an event at one of the restaurants.

Today Opah Debby is on her birthday, so the extended family is having a dinner there.

Unfortunately Debby was forced to come along, although she had reasoned a lot to refuse, the mother still forced her to come along because Gallen's sister also participated.

Along the way in Debby's car was worried, there was no way she wouldn't eat, let alone say that she was fasting. This could be terrible.

Until the car starts entering the parking area of a Chinese restaurant, because Debby has Chinese blood from her father.

There the extended family already welcomed them, looking Debby who was a little uncomfortable. Especially the dishes on the table in the form of meat.

It was obviously an unwholesome meat. The girl was sitting in one of her chairs, next to her was Lilian's sister, and her sister Luciana, who was busy with her cell phone. They are the children of the father's sister.

"Lusi, did Aunt Maryam not come?" Ask Debby.

"Mariam? Who?" Asked without glancing at Debby.

"I mean Aunt Merry." Debby replied she forgot that their family did not want to know Maryam's name after Debby's father's youngest brother changed beliefs.

"Owhh... I don't know, maybe not. You know he's been cross-named from the family because of a change of faith, right?"

'ahhh.huh, true, this one year new aunt Maryam has never been with us again. Because of opah's anger. How was my fate after this? Is Papah going to do the same?' Debby daydreaming.

"Deb... You know Justine? He's my friend." Lusina said while pointing her phone at Debby.

"Yes, he's my senior brother from High School. Why?"

"He's one Faculty with me, he knows I'm your cousin. He always asks for your cell phone number."

"For what? Don't love."

"Why? He's so handsome."

"I don't want to be with a Chinese man."

"Doubt you're not Chinese?"

"I'm still a long way from the Chinese. Not like you."

"Sad...!" Grunting, he grabbed his drink. "Hey you're not eating?" Luciana offered.

"No I'm not hungry." Debby refused in her cool style.

"At least drink."

"Debby...?" Call opah, Debby said as she turned her head. "Come here. You don't want to give up your gift for opah?" Ask the grandfather, chuckling.

"Ah... Yes, sorry opah." Debby moved, looking at the smile of the mother while rubbing Debby's arm as she passed him round approaching the grandfather.

"My grandchild." Hugging Debby.

"Happy birthday Opah, may God bless you. Gives you longevity, and health." Debby was still in her embrace.

"Thank you, yeah... May God always be with you. Make you a devout catholic." Grandpa's prayer as he rubbed his shoulders. Debby smiled thinly.

"It's opah, a gift from Debby." Hand over boxes that are not too big.

"Thank you baby?" Said the grandfather.

"Yes opah." Smilingly. The grandfather grabbed his chopsticks and took the meat that was being roasted and dipped it in a black sauce, made from soy sauce mixed with wine.

Seeing that Debby's feeling was already bad, especially when the grandfather had already stretched out the meat towards her.

"Let's open your mouth." Proffer.

'Oh my God how is this? I no longer consume this unclean meat, I am fasting anyway.' Debby's mind, she still closed her mouth.

"Debby, open your mouth." Tell the father, because it's a way of honoring the grandfather. While the girl was still silent.

"Debby?"

"Is..iya Opah?"

"Let's eat, this is opah's love."

'o Allah, how should I be?' (Debb)

"Debby?" Call the mother who feels bad with her father-in-law.

"O... Opah, can't it be if Debby doesn't accept this?" Debby's remarks are as polite as possible. Seen grandfather's face turned moody, he also lowered his chopsticks.

"Debby...!!" Brother Gallen made Debby aghast. "Eat...!!" Later decrees. Debby turned back to her grandfather.

"Sorry Opah."

"Debby...! Don't disappoint opah, will you? It's his birthday. Appreciate His love." Whisper The mother who had approached Debby, held both shoulders of the princess.

'i'm fasting mamah, I also don't want to eat this unclean meat anymore.' Debby's eyes started to glaze over.

"Debby doesn't love Opah?" Ask the grandfather.

"Darling Opah, Debby loves Opah." Debby shed her tears. The grandfather grabbed the meat again and directed it to the grandson.

"Then eat dear. This is Opah's affection for you." Everyone at the table looked at Debby. That girl is unusual.

'i have to how?' he's still worried. The mother gripped both of her shoulders.

"Let's eat Debby, don't disappoint Opah." Whisper of the mother.

'I'm sorry, God... Please forgive me.' He slowly approached and opened his mouth. The meat also entered along with the push of chopsticks from the hands of the grandfather. Debby's tears came back harder.

"God bless you Deborah." Grandpa peeped at his grandson's forehead. While Debby was silent, she had not yet chewed on the meat.

"Compose that meat Debby." The mother whispered the order. Seeing that his father was looking at him seriously, he seemed to be angry at Debby. "Debby's."

'hiks..' Debby chewed it with great force and swallowed it. 'sorry... Forgive Debby O Allah.' the girl rubbed her lips with a tissue. Then go to the toilet immediately.

It was seen the father observing the strangeness of his daughter. His behavior was exactly the same as Merry before he converted to follow the beliefs of his lover and married the Muslim man.

Until the worry, if Debby will be the same as Merry.
