THE UNIVERSE IS FOLLOWING US
CHAPTER 107

"I was embarrassed to meet them especially Feri. I realized it was too much at that time. I realized that it had hurt the feelings of the Goddess." said Andre lowered his head.

"Sir, we're going inside. Surrender to God. Slowly the door of forgiveness will open. I want to try to get closer to them.

I was in your position too. The difference is that I ignore my parents and younger siblings who were young. I once felt that they were relying too much on this child and her brother.

So I forgot that actually I can be like this also thanks to my parents and my sisters' prayers."

Every human being has a life test. Some are successful through the ordeal, some are even more away from Allah SWT.

Verily, temptation is God's way of knowing the maqam (level) of man's faith. And with that ordeal, man is ready to enter heaven.

Being human is a big responsibility. We are born on earth to serve God by doing His commandments and staying away from His prohibitions. This is called taqwa. Of course, Allah always gives man a test to raise his level of devotion.

If you can say, this is like a class exam. The more difficult the exam, the level or level of degree it gets will be higher. One of the tests of Allah to raise the level of human fear is by being subjected to calamities or trials.

Andre followed Saiful into the mosque. Some people have filled the rows of saf. Andre was in the back row of the priest. Standing in line with Saiful. fulfilled his duty as a Muslim.

After the prayer, Andre sat for a moment on the edge of the mushola. Stretching his slightly sore legs. Saiful approached Andre. Invite the man to follow the tausiyah ustad which will soon begin.

"Maybe?" ask Andre.

"Well, is there a ban?"

"I'm ashamed, Ful."

"Why should you be ashamed, sir. The father will be led to the right path. Although not instant, the important thing is that we have tried to improve ourselves. Who should be ashamed if we already know wrong but do not want to improve." Saiful patted Andre's shoulder.

They sat in a small hall not far from the prayer hall. He felt grateful to have an acquaintance who was still attentive to him.

The assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarokatuh

First of all, let us praise and thank Allah SWT for the blessings of faith and Islam. By His grace also, we can gather in this glorious place.

Shalawat and our greetings to His Majesty Muhammad SAW who has brought us from the dark ages to the bright era with the light of Islam.

Thank God today we are still given the opportunity to meet face to face in a happy atmosphere. Salawat and our greetings extend to the Prophet Muhammad SAW who has brought us from a dark age to a bright era with a spark of faith and Islam.

In this case, we will talk about the meaning of forgiveness.

I am confused as to why we talk about forgiveness. Lebaran has not. Ramadan has not yet arrived. But whether to apologize should be time. No dong.

If we forgive someone it means we are free from one heart disease, namely revenge. Why is that, a person who is difficult to forgive others means that his heart is not clean.

Yes indeed if humans do not escape from wrong and sin. But does it have to be justified and kept just like that. Of course it's not good. The name of the disease must be treated. There is a saying that it is better to prevent than to treat. One of the drugs to prevent liver disease is sorry.

If you declare a virtue, hide it or forgive a mistake (others), then surely, Allah is All-Pardoning, All-Powerful. (QS An-Nisa: 149)

A good deed by revealing it is indeed good, if the person who does good deeds can guard themselves from the nature of the spirit, and his heart is full of sincerity and faith. To be a role model for others.

While doing good in a hidden way will further preserve the honor of the poor.

The forgiveness that a person commits to those who have wronged him includes that which Allah will recompense and reward, for Allah is All-Pardoning, All-Powerful.

But there's a tapiainya, though,

The wrong one is better to apologize first. Yes, his name is also the troublemaker should know himself better. That's it, don't wait in sorry, just want to apologize. That is what is called ethics in life.

After hearing the tausiah Andre resigned from the presence of Saiful. The man he said was his wife's former employee. This time they spoke familiarly. All this time he had never known all the staff he worked for.

His feet were stopped in an office building. The building where he complained of fate. Find with his soul mate. A great regret for having smeared his wife's feelings. Already tried to desecrate his little daughter. He was blinded by the lust of the world. His behavior crossed the line and may be unforgivable.

Rain spots are now a very heavy water splash. Lightning and thunder alternated exclaiming. People around the office of PUTRA NUSA ran around looking for shelter. But not with Andre, his mind went nowhere while his body was in front of the building.

The voice of a person calling himself to take refuge. Not making the man aware.

"Sir Andre what's going on here? enter sir. Later the father is sick." the baritone's voice approached him.

"I deserve to be sick! I deserve to die too! because I'm despicable."

"Which deserves to say it's just God, sir. Not humans, we are just living a life scenario that has a destiny. You also lament that Mother Goddess will not want to go back to the same father. Women if they are hurt, it is difficult to open the door sorry.

Sorry sir I'm talking sassy. I'm just talking about what I know. I'm sorry."

Andre did not blame Sapto, the senior security guard who still survives work at PUTRA NUSA company. What the man said was true. Whatever will happen, even if he will be expelled later, he is ready with all the risks.

"Father," said a young man standing before her.

Andre immediately folded his legs. His head lowered, his hands holding the young man's two legs. His cries broke but were defeated by the sound of rain. The ferry threw a glance in the other direction. His hatred for his father was still lodged in his heart. His hands clenched tightly. If not in the office he had beaten the man all out.

"Sorry, papa, son. Papa's not a good father to you. Papa knows that what I did was very evil. Papa's aware of all the mistakes."

"Why new now, Pa! why just now papa came and apologized. Why not when papa betrayed mama with some women. Why,pa! papa now has nothing so just come to us.

Now you get out of here! do not let my patience run out because I see you! GO!"

"Papa will leave before you forgive me. I just need an apology from you guys. I don't ask for treasure, nor return with your mama. I just ...." Andre felt his vision shaded. He occasionally held onto a head that was beginning to feel heavy.

"Papaaaaa....!"
