He was upright in silence looking at the praying woman who he thought was Datuk Penghulu's wife. The woman had just finished praying. Now he is holding his hand reading prayer. And when he really finished praying, he turned to the Bungsu. The Bungsu was really impressed. He wanted to talk, but his tongue felt faint.
“Koko ..” finally women who talk slowly.
Still in a state of amazement, the Bungsu stepped back into the living room. Slowly he sat in front of the woman. The woman who had just finished praying was none other than Mei-mei.
“Koko .. I'm praying for my mother and father's spirits for a moment. And I pray for you. For your healing. For your safety ..”
“Mei-mayou ..?” that's the only word that Bungsu said.
There was a tremendous feeling that slipped into his heart to see the girl praying Lohor.
“Yes, cocoa. I have thought about. And I chose islam as my religion ..”
“But ..”
“I feel serene and peaceful after prayer. Didn't Koko say it was lured first?” the Bungsu still has no power to speak.
Unable to be restrained, Bunsi's eyes became wet. Mei-mei looks into her wet eyes. Slowly, the girl's eyes got wet. And then they embraced.
“Coko, you are sad I converted to Islam ?”
“No Moy-moy. No. gabe. I will only be sad if you convert to Islam just because it pleases my heart. Believe me, without even converting to Islam, I still love you. You are still my sister ..”
“No koko. I did not convert to Islam because of you. I converted to Islam because of God's fate. Is not the destiny of man in the hands of the One God? God has destined me to meet you. It was God who made me convert to Islam. I'm happy to accept that fate Koko. Just like I'm also happy to be near you.”.
“Thank you Moy-moy. Thank you my sister ..”
The incident was seen by Datuk Penghulu who just returned home.was also seen and heard by Mak Ani, Upik's mother who stood upright in the middle room. So they rubbed their wet eyes. It is heartened to see the brotherhood of these two different young people of this nation. One lost his entire family to the Japanese. One lost his honor at the hands of the Japanese. Fate brought them together. Just like Mei-mei said for a moment. That they are met by the Fate which has been arranged by the One.
SERIATE.....
