Outside, Syifa kept swearing about Gwen. He did not expect that the man he started to like could marry Gwen. "Why does loving Ustadz Agam hurt so much? Was my mistake that time so fatal?" muttered.
"But what's my fault? I'm just not ready to get married, so I ran away!" he still doesn't feel self-conscious.
As Syifa continued to rumble, Ustadz Khalid passed by, who had just returned from the house of Agam and Gwen. "Assalamu'alaikum, Dek Syifa, huh?" greet Ustadz Khalid.
"Citycumsallam, Ustadz. Em, Ustadz from the mosque, huh?" Syifa answered Ustadz Khalid's greeting while asking.
"No, I'm from aulia major. You ... new from Agam's house?"
Syifa nodded. Ustadz Khalid did not say anything else except, he wanted Syifa to visit Agam less because the people he visited already had families. Ustadz Khalid knew well the past between the pesantren and Syifa families.
"So, I beg you not to come home too often, huh?" ustadz Khalid.
Syifa clenched her hands. "I will try not to come often, Ustadz," he said with an upset heart.
"But if you can know. What kind of woman did Ustadz Agam marry? Why do I feel like that woman is no good?" back Syifa wanted to provoke Ustadz Khalid.
"I heard from Abi, if it was his brother who made Ustadz's wife leave?" he continued with the hope that Ustadz Khalid was on his side.
Ustadz Khalid. His marriage to his wife was based on an arranged marriage. However, his wife at that time was pregnant with his baby, making him hurt when the wife's departure.
"Why didn't Ustadz imprison his brother-in-law Ustadz Agam?" Syifa really wanted to make war by using Ustadz Khalid.
No matter how Ustadz Khalid responded, Syifa continued to provoke him under the pretext of an accident that occurred about more than a month ago.
"I can't blame Aisha. Because, he was also injured until he lost his memory at that time. All this is fate, excuse Dek, I want to go back first, Assalamu'alaikum," with his gloomy face, Ustadz Khalid left Syifa still covered with his regret.
Syifa wanted to stop the move of Ustadz Khalid. However, it was impossible for him to directly urge to punish Gwen back then. "Wa'alaikumsallam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh,"
"Damn! Why isn't he getting emotional, anyway?" he swore in his heart.
This thing Syifa has done is already in the category of spite. What is spite? Envy or hasad can be interpreted as a hatred of the favors that exist in others and hope that the favor is lost from the person. Another understanding of hasad is that a person wants the loss of pleasure (favors) owned by others and tries to transfer it to himself.
"I want Gwen to leave this school. But, I see that Ustadz Agam has also begun to love her,"
"Then what should I do?"
Syifa passed away. That trait has become a character, difficult to change despite having a supportive family background. Because, that trait has been formed since he was a child by his environment or his own parents. It is difficult for him to get rid of that bad trait, if there is no intention to change it.
The trials of the household will remain endless until God separates the two partners. There will always be trials of all forms to gain the favor of God.
The night after eating, Puspa rushed into his room. He deliberately avoided Chen so as not to continue to be asked when he would accept his proposal. In the room, he called Aisyah back to ask for advice hang late so as not to misstep.
"Aisyah, your brother only gave me 24 hours. How do I decide?" ask Puspa over the phone.
"This is all because Abi already wants you to get married, Puspa. You will be betrothed to Mas Ijal if you reject Kak Chen's proposal. That's what I got the information from my dad,"
"Astaghfirullah, who's Mas Ijal? My neighbor's fingers?" tanya Puspa was surprised.
"Yes, Mas Ijal who just returned from Lampung. This morning, after Dad got a call from Kak Chen, he called Abi. Uh, I heard dong, that you're going to be in a match with Mas Ijal,"
"So, even if I reject your brother, I won't be with Mas Tama?" tanya Puspa was disappointed.
"I think so. But apparently, this is just for bluffing. Calm down, I'll help you thwart that matchmaking without having to accept my brother's proposal,"
Puspa's heart is getting bitter. His hands were getting further and further away to be able to reach someone who had once been in his heart. Not feeling, tears began to drip. Not knowing anymore with his Abi who always arranged for his life.
Luckily, he has good friends like Aisyah and Gwen who are always there for him. Aisyah advised to stay there within 10 days. If Puspa's heart was still there for Tama, Aisyah would help him talk to her Abinya as well as Chen.
"However, if within 10 days you fall in love with Brother Chen. Whatever decision you make, be sure! My brother is the man in charge, Puspa,"
Aisyah also said, that Chen never messed around in every word that came out of his mouth. Aisyah also hoped that Puspa could take Chen to the path that Allah ridhoi. Returns the confidence he has brought from birth.
Puspa was not a girl who would think of everything in a short period of time. He would consider what Aisyah suggested to him. 10 days is not a long time and not a short time.
In addition, Puspa will get the money to be able to go home alone without having to approve Chen's proposal. "I have to how? But come to think of it, this Mr. Chen is not bad either," he murmured.
"The idea that Aisyah gave me was the most brilliant idea. I will know my true feelings if I choose to stay here for another ten days," Puspa muttered again.
"I will get the reward because Mr. Chen converted in my shade. Then, I'll consider it a bonus if I can be sure, I've fallen for this haughty man,"
"God, Mr. Chen. What kind of person are you really? On the other hand, you always demeaned me because of your treasure, on the other hand, you protected me because I was by your side,"
Puspa recalled being on a mission with Chen on the outskirts of the city when he first came to China. Feeling that there was something when Chen touched his head after going to buy crabs and squid.
Not to mention, Puspa also unconsciously recalled the time they fell into the pirated fields of others, until they took turns to clean themselves from the mud together.
Who will wash first? Is it true that Puspa is the soul mate that God prepared for Chen?
