WHY LOVE
Farewell (2)

The provincial highway towards Tasikmalaya began to decline and twist. Full concentration is required to go through the path that will go through some steep ravines on the left shoulder of the road. Although a long steel barrier is attached to the shoulder of the road, vigilance is still needed.

Especially along the road will cross paths with large trucks carrying sand from Mount Galunggung to be sent to Bandung and Jakarta. As a result, Candra will not be easy to overtake the cars in front of him because from the opposite direction the sand trucks walk crawling like a snail because of heavy loads and uphill roads if from the direction of the Lake.

Getting closer to the destination, Candra's heart started to beat. The calm man tried to neutralize anxiety and a sense of degness by dhikr in the heart.

Candra turns her car into an SPBU in Pagerageung area to rest and pray Duhur.

Another bit.

Only 30 minutes left, will get to the destination.

But Candra needed to wash her face with ablution water to bow down, complaining to the Khalik. Pray for goodness and protection from the passions that rule the heart. Who would not accept the answer of the result of istikharah.

His spirit is full. His handsome face was now calm and soothing. Another important thing that should not be forgotten in order to be physically strong is to eat.

There is only a typical Sundanese restaurant located close to the location of SPBU.

After waiting in line to choose a buffet-style dining menu, Candra chose a table near the window glass. View of the mountain Cakrabuana green because of the dense trees stretching overshadow Pagerageung area until Malangbong it is so soothing to the eye. Plus the expanse of green rice fields under the feet of the Cakrabuana adds to the beautiful paintings of nature created by Almighty God.

Suddenly the corners of his lips were attracted, as the waiter gave a negligent and a chili to his desk. He remembered Salma. When eating in Bekasi, his relaxed comments said, look lalap so kangen go home he said.

The ringing of the cell phone distracts for a moment from the food it is eating. Holy, the sister called him.

"Assalamualaikum, deck."

"Vaalaikumsalam. Where have you been?"

Holy morning called him. Ask when the plan to leave for Lake is right at the time when Candra will leave. That's why her sister is monitoring her now.

"The gate has reached the north lake. Soon to the destination. This is another meal first."

"Nginep is not Bang?"

"Yes. I booked a hotel for aemalam. If you have to be tired-"

"Owh, yeah. Good luck, Bang, the business. I can't wait to hear the story later."

Suci first ended his call after saying hello.

Candra did not answer. Just smiling faintly heard the younger brother who was so enthusiastic.

****

Saung Gazebo made of coconut wood located in the backyard, witnessed two people who sat facing Lesehan, but blocked the table. Two glasses of tea following sweet snacks served on the table.

Candra asks Rachel's parents for permission to talk together after they chat in the living room.

"Who wants to tell you first?" Candra began to open a serious conversation after the two talked about the hot news topic in this country.

"Mas Candra was a deh-"

"But promise yes, you must be honest with your istikharah answer!" pinta Candra's.

Rachel nodded her head. "I'll tell you what it is."

Candra fixed her sitting position. Sit with your back straight. The breeze of the day is delivered by a red guava tree that is fruiting and shady mango trees, giving coolness and shade over the gazebo.

"I dreamt we were on the pier. We stood apart, and you turned your back on me. I looked at you, calling you to turn around. But you walk away to the end until you see a woman standing at the end of the pier." Candra looked at Rachel who was focused on listening to her story.

"Who is that woman?" Rachel stared fixedly at the thick bead of eyes that were without light.

Candra shook her head weakly. "His face was invisible because of the fog. But his hands stretched out as if asking me to come closer. But I'm sitting in a place in confusion." Candra rubbed her face. The same dream shadow, which was present last night and last night, was now flashed in his mind.

"Did you also get answers through dreams?" Candra can't wait to hear Rachel's story. Result of his istikharah.

"I wanted to tell a story before. I serve as an Elementary School teacher who lives in an Islamic foundation. I am in good contact with the board and the owner of the foundation, Ustad Ali his name. Up until two months ago, Ustad came to my father for permission to abuse me."

There was a look of shock that Rachel caught from the face of the man in front of her.

"But I rejected it subtly." Rachel immediately spoke. Do not let Candra misunderstand the assessment.

"Mas Candra don't doubt my loyalty. A year or so I've always kept a heart just to wait for you."

"I believe. Well, it's only natural that a lot of men would want to ask you, Rachel. Because you are not only beautiful, but also uphold high self-respect. You're special." A smile fell on Candra's lips. The compliments he makes are sincere, from the heart.

Rachel blushed. He turned his face the other way to cover his red hue.

"Then about dreams?" Candra seemed impatient to want to know right away.

"Be a while, Mas. I'll continue the story first." Rachel gave a smile looking at the impatient Candra.

"For the third time, ustad Ali asked Dad again when he met at the hotel. Ask permission to take his parents. Seeing his persistence, I became astonished. Why does he keep waiting for my answer. Though many kiyai child girls that can be chosen."

"I'd rather get the best leads for our future." Rachel breathed a heavy sigh.

"And the answer to my prayer-I saw two different figures. At first the two stood as if a black shadow. The one shadow faded and then disappeared in the wind. The other, the shadow became clearer and more fully formed."

"Who is he?" Candra stared intently at the pretty face before her that closed her eyes, with her heart pounding as if waiting for judgment.

Rachel closed her eyes. His face was bowed with his hands closed on the table.

"She--ustad Ali." - Seer Rachel in her submission.

Silent

Silent

Silent

Candra gulped down the water until the toilet, her throat suddenly dry. Though the answer to her prayer already showed Rachel was not her match. Now it is clarified by the answer of the girl who has been filling the niches of her heart.

"I'm lose-" Candra breathed out hard.

Rachel looked up at Candra with teary eyes. After all, his human side was sliced. Love one another, but destiny is not on our side.

"Nobody wins or loses. We are equally saddened by the decision God gave us. But believe me, God's scenario is definitely the best for us. Because we rely on living by faith instead of promoting lust."

Candra looked up, looking at the sky that remained bright blue, the gazebo atmosphere was still soothing. The sky did not support him to be sad apparently.

"You're gonna marry him soon?" a wounded look was seen from Candra's face.

Rachel shook her head confidently. It takes time to heal a disappointed heart.

"Mas Candra, in this place I want us to promise each other. I would marry if Mas Candra would also marry the woman in the dream. The clue is clear, the woman is waiting for you to reach, Mas."

"Don't wait for me, Rachel. Please marry first. He's a better man than me, everything. You deserve to be with him. While I need some time alone first."

"No, Mas. Don't humble yourself like that. Candra is also a good and kind man. By God, I swear. I'll get married if Mas Candra gets married too. Because no one gets hurt between us. We should be happy together." Rachel makes a firmness and agreement that makes Candra forced to agree to it.

Rachel stood on the porch, taking Candra away from her home. Rachel's parents just peeked out of the window after Candra said goodbye to her and apologized for not being able to continue the relationship.

"I leave your house and your life." Candra forced to smile at the ayu girl for the last time in her status as a lover.

"promise, Mommy. You'll soon find your soul mate. I'll help do'a at every prayer."

Candra did not answer. Just smiling wryly.

After greeting her, Candra drove her car towards the city. Heading to the hotel to rest his weary soul.

Why does love present give hurt?

Because life is not about love

Sometimes God meets two people not to be united

God has found for one reason

Rest assured, nothing is in vain

Do you not always pray to be met with the best....

Be confident in God's scenario

The wisdom of love will soon say hello
