Renal is really tired.his legs feel heavier.he is not strong anymore. Especially to reach the doors that stand firm and welcome it cold. he did not even dare to hope, there will be a door that opens wide and embraces it sincerely.
blame him if he wants to stop just not like the expectations of many people?
in moments of weakness in his solitude, the 25-year-old often laughed in frustration.His father and mother had long since died, but they still left the burden of his name.
childhood overflow of love from the father and mother, making Renal almost not feel inferior to physical deficiencies. Growing up, and seeing the reality of the physical problems that constituted him, it turned out to be much more serious, and not just an undeveloped organ, he began to panic, make the eighteen-year-old man resigned.God has a big scenario for him for sure.
With that belief, he used to live his school days.Straight man, with a sharp nose, and brown eyes that live the destiny with passion. he is handsome, intelligent too......
"Nal, don't think about it. focus on your strengths.don't lament over your shortcomings!"
Wise mother and father always ready with two thumbs up for her.
"The most hebaaat child!"
Everyone is always ready to entertain him.
"Optimist, Nal..,optimist!"
Riza, his college friend is no less pumping spirit and trying to drain confidence, every time he saw steadfastly pensive to address his shortcomings.
"Are there any Muslim women who want to be my wife, yes Za?" the tananya easy
And Riza, with her signature laugh, always sows the optimistic air, "You're all-n-nothing, Nal!"
"Hey, I'm serious!"
They are already in the fifth year of college. approached graduation.friends who are already married, there are even those in the early years of college.It is natural that the man began to worry.
"There must be, Nal!"
"With legs like this?" Renal pointed to his side of his foot that was shrinking unbalanced.The leg that required him to go everywhere with crutches. Defects from birth, said grandma.
"Nal, the woman who married you by faith, believing they did not need a husband with two legs, to lead them to heaven. A woman like that would want to!"
Renal doubtful gaze countered claps on the shoulder, calming.
"Nal, calm down. We have a lot of sincere da'wah activities! they were not people who were physically oriented!"
Did ya?
That night Renal who dressed neatly, proved the sentence in ucapakn riza very optimistically first, his best friend who had married two months ago, initiated to find a future wife for him.
"What's he like, Za?"
Riza seemed to think. A few seconds passed and she still seemed to think very hard.
loud scream answered laughter exploded riza. Ah, he's a real friend.
"The guy is sweet, the skin is yellow, the education is D-3 . no problem,?"
renal put his shoulder on. He knew many of his friends who required education should be S1 for the future wife. But, it was not at all applicable to him. he did not even have any conditions, except that the woman could have a chest against his physical condition.
"Nal, don't daydream, we have to hurry, before your candidate gets caught up, okay?"
With a riza vehicle, they finally reached the place of the future wife. Mutia, her name. reminded renal of the steadfast figure of the heroine of aceh.
this is the introductory phase. ta'aruf, people say. the familiar phase for two people who want to get married.
time seemed slow, when the two friends were sitting waiting in the living room, which was illuminated by a ten-watt bulb. When finally mutia appeared and smiled sweetly, while saying greetings, Renal felt his world shining.
perhaps Riza was right, thought Renal as her eyes watched mutia who spoke with a downcast look, the godly woman did not look at the physical.
they talked at length.the discussion about the assortment, and that was when the renal painstakingly rose to greet the mutia whose hands were full of trays and jars, and, the girl's eyes pounded on the wooden crutches in the man's armpit. The sweet whimper, caught red-handed, firm will not forget.
Like the time to know and see, he did not have an answer that night, but, Renal felt more than able to refuse. And, the man's guess turned out to be precise. Mutia refused!.
after that door after door the others shut themselves away from him, the maimunah who was the nurse, Deisy his wife's cousin riza, the vira who was the head of the daughter, their younger class, even sita, the sweet black girl who was cornered, the little girl, the daughter of the canteen mother in her office.all refused!
At first it was very painful for the man. Fortunately, Riza never left him. His best friend always asked him to return to thinking postively, after they got a negative response from the girls who were visited. Riza's attitude really represents the world of networking in the past.
"Maybe they're not ready, huh, nal?"
" Maybe they still want to go to college."
"Maybe..."
Various pretexts that were conveyed and repeated riza, In order to maintain feelings, finally broken renal.
" Or maybe, they don't want a husband with crutches like me, Za!"
" No.. Don't do that!"
"it's reality. And if only women are chosen as they are, who are active in preaching, who are shalihah, who pursue heaven, you say.if they are not ready to marry me, how are the others?"
For the first time in their friendship.
Riza lost her best friend's comforting power. Ahhh, what's wrong with those women? Didn't they see renal good looks? His eyes were intelligent, and indeed the man was extremely intelligent.Didn't they see the skill of the ornate Renal? His broad insights. Didn't he?
" Za, they saw I was disabled!"
