The Story of the Children of the Juragan
4. Single-minded
The time has shown at 9 pm passing, they say goodbye home. They also entered their cars. After the previous Fatih family say goodbye to Salman's family, that they will go straight home. Not coming to his house.
"Salman, thank you for your sincerity and sincerity. May you have a better soul mate. I'm sure of it."
"Yes, you relax. Better take care of your marriage. If you need help, don't hesitate to contact me. I want to make sure everything goes smoothly without obstacles like a toll road." Salman said.
"You could have." Fatih also chuckled to hear his brother's joke. He knew Salman was typical of humorous youth. The two then hugged before finally parting into their respective cars.
All the way home, Laura's mother kept watching her son's face. He was worried that his son was sad.
"Mama, why do you keep looking at me like that?" asked Salman who could not stand it because from the cottage until half the journey, his mother continued to pay attention to him.
"Are you sure, all right?"
Salman broke a smile at his mother.
"As you can see. Salman can't cover the slightest thing from papa and mama, can he? Including matters of the heart. Well, although it's not accepted, at least Salman tried."
Laura hugged her son with a taste. His attitude is really mature. Unlike her who has not sincerely accepted the rejection that her son has just experienced.
"Mama need not worry, Allah has outlined the flow of Salman's life like this. Before leaving, Salman prayed that God would give his best to Salman, not pray that Salman's proposal would be accepted. Not when praying should not force. Not the best we think is not necessarily the best according to God's version. And the highest stage of love is to let our loved ones be happy, even if not with us."
"Papa's proud of you, son. In shaa Allah, someday you will get the best mate." said papa Reyhan. The three of them embraced each other.
"Father, mom, we're home. Let's get down." They also break each other's hugs, then scan the situation around. It seems true that it has reached home.
They hurried down from the car, and walked towards their respective rooms. Although tired, Salman still clean himself before going to bed. Because it was taught by both parents since he was a child.
"O Allah, we are disappointed when what we ask for is not human. And I felt that. But after knowing that Aisha chose to be my brother, I was right and sincere, O Allah. May they always be blessed in the world and the hereafter" Salman said before going to bed.
At night, as usual he woke up to perform tahajud prayers. In each of his prostrations, he always asked for the good of the world and the Hereafter.
After that, he read the Qur'an until dawn. Rushing he went out of the room to go to the mosque with his father and grandfather.
"You're grandfather's most handsome, kindest and sholih grandson. Surely your soul mate will be a sholihah woman."
"Ah, grandpa could have. How Salman did not become the most handsome, grandchildren grandfather only one doang." kekeh Salman chimed in his grandfather's speech.
"Eh, it's iqomah. Let's speed up the pace." said Atmaja's grandfather to his son-in-law and grandson.
