WHY LOVE
Khodijah or Fatimah?

"I'm sorry, man. From yesterday Salma was lashing out with me, so she was looking for a guy to make me jealous."

Again Salma was surprised and her mouth was gaping. Want to say a word to argue but the tongue suddenly confused.

The man who sat facing Salma squinted his eyes at the girl who was shocked. He thought Salma's reaction was because he felt sniffed by his girlfriend.

"I'm sorry I didn't interfere. Please settle your own business."

The man of Salma's new acquaintance regained his chair, immediately lifted his legs without waiting for Salma's explanation.

"Hey, wait a minute!" The Salma call is free. Because the man did not look back. Salma stood up with increasing shock as the reaction of the man of her acquaintance was unexpected.

Now he pouted looking at Candra who was sitting quietly without guilt.

"Sir, what does that mean? Why bother my date?" Still in a standing position, Salma reprimanded Candra while holding back the growl. Suppose he was not a superior, Salma would have rebuked him hard.

"Call Brother, Sal! It's outside the office. Let's sit down, don't be so angry." Candra is back in her calm mode. Make Salma melt and obedient to sit down.

"Because now that I'm your brother, I want to be angry! Why is Bang Can telling me to be my girlfriend? So she blurred-" Salma cut the steak with a knife pressed down hard, venting her frustration. One large piece he put in his mouth and chewed it full of pressure.

Candra raised both eyebrows. Salma's angry manner made her want to smile, but she was arrested for fear that Salma would be offended.

A preacher came to bring Candra food and serve it on the table. Candra all asked for food belonging to her guest Salma who had just touched the three bribes were brought to the back. Be at the table just two meals.

"Let's eat first. I'll explain why I'm acting that way." It turns out that Candra's menu is the same as Salma's, tenderloin steak.

"I'm full." Salma holds hands on the table. His steak was half left.

"Eat or I'm a bribe?! Threaten Candra by lifting her fork and knife, staring at Salma who still looks bete.

Plis Bang, don't be this considerate. I could fail to move on.

"Yes-yes I eat." Salma chose silence and lowered her head during the meal. His current feelings become mixed due to Candra's attitude towards him.

"I'm sorry I drank from thirst. I'm replacing it with mine, still intact." Candra brought her mango juice closer to Salma.

Candra noticed the look of a beautiful face that just looked down, silent, ignoring the offer of juice let alone touch it.

"Salma, I'm sorry. I was deliberately interrupting your date. Not to prevent you from finding a mate, but to give you a better way to get a good soul mate." Candra explained gently, hoping that Salma could understand the reason.

Salma now looked up at the pointed-nosed Arab blaster, staring with excited eyes.

"My love fate is so sad. My first love was on 'the fool' but my dream turned out to be height. Now I'm trying to open my heart to other men, but it's not easy." The juice that had been ignored, now drank until half was left. Such is Salma, if upset or angry at his impingement on eating and drinking.

Candra stamps a smile. He became aware of the nature of his secretary if he was upset or angry, even making him anxious.

"So Bang Can give me advice on what?" Salma propped up her chin with both hands resting on the table.

"You better go after that 'dumb one' again. Not by asking people, but by asking God. As long as the yellow stale hasn't arched, you can corner it through a third of the night."

"No way, Bang." Salma shook her head weakly.

"Why?"

"Because of that fool-." Salma was surprised by his own words. He almost slipped.

"Why the fool?" Candra had initially felt tense hearing Salma's words as if they would reveal the identity of the fool. There was a sense of disappointment because Salma did not continue his words.

"I mean, I don't want to marry her because she must be a very high-school religious woman, just like that fool. As for me, until now the hijab intent is still weak. Wait a minute if it's a new wedding hijab." At once Salma felt her confidence decline. He feels like he is losing the competition.

"Gni aja, Salma. During this month you no longer date with men of your acquaintance. You pray to God, ask for the best mate. God willing, in this month your real soul mate will come." Candra's reassuring words made Salma nod her head.

"Alright, I'll follow Bang Can's advice. Just one month, right?"

"Yes. One month. Maybe not even for a month" said Candra smiled thinly.

After agreeing with his advice, and performing the magrib prayer at the restaurant musholla, Candra invited Salma home. He paid for all the food at the table, including the ex-boy who ran away because of his actions.

"Bang, I want a message ojol. We're not going home." Salma tried to reject Candra's invitation. The more often together, he felt increasingly difficult against the heart that was always pounding fast.

Salma only sighed hearing the answer of her ghost boss.

That's my problem, Bang. Why have you been so attentive lately when I try to move on. Well, Mother.help your son!

Salma was only able to shout inwardly revealing her gloom.

"Salma, do you know the romantic love story of two noble women, Khadijah and Fatimah?" Candra breaks the silence in her car by having Salma talk. Because since the car drove, Salma just kept quiet.

"I don't know. Tell me Bang, it looks like fun!" Salma began to be enthusiastic to hear Candra's story.

Heavy traffic is creeping into the streets of the capital. Every road user needs to have extra patience dealing with it. Candra fills the travel time by starting the story.

"There are two options for women to marry. Applying or being applied. Both of these options were exemplified by two noble women, Khodijah and Fatimah. Khodijah 'apparent' Muhammad SAW and Fatimah waiting for 'applied' Ali bin Abi Talib. So, a woman proposing to a man to be her husband is not a bad thing. But remember, applying to make a husband is not a girlfriend."

Salma turned her face, listening intently as she looked at Candra who was speaking while remaining focused on driving.

"Khodijah proposed to the Prophet after he knew the qualities of this man. At that time Khodijah and Muhammad did business cooperation. Khodijah entrusted his business to him. He was amazed when Muhammad submitted reports of his business trips to several countries. Plus the story of his noble character and behavior reported by Khodijah's men who participated in the trade mission. The mature rich woman who lived this life finally sent Nafisah bint Munabih to meet the man who had 'conquered' his heart. The envoy conveyed the heart and interest of Khodijah to Muhammad. And finally, accompanied by his uncle Abu Talib, Muhammad officially proposed to Khodijah. It was this woman who accompanied love, loyalty, and sacrifice as the Prophet Muhammad fought to spread the religion of Islam."

"God is an amazing story. What about Fatimah, Bang?" Salma was amazed by the story she had just heard. He could not wait to know the story of Fatimah.

"Fatimah the daughter of Prophet Muhammad SAW has long harbored a feeling for Ali bin Abi Talib. But he was embarrassed to express his feelings to the man who was often at his father's side. Several times the proposal from the man who came through the father was rejected. And he was so happy when Ali proposed to him. Apparently Ali also harbored a love for Fatimah. But sometimes he felt unworthy to accompany the daughter of the Prophet.

So when the two come together in marriage, so great happiness envelops the hearts of two people who have both fallen in love."

It does not feel like the car has arrived in front of the car.

"Ah has arrived. Fun to hear the story, the journey feels fast." Salma was a little disappointed when it turned out to have arrived in the lecture .

"Bang, I'm so embarrassed. Muslims but do not know these exemplary historical stories." Salma grinned the horse while scratching his non-itchy neck.

"That's what I'm telling you in short. If the complete reading will feel the martyr, even there is an author who packs in the form of a novel. From now on, get used to the content of free time with useful reading, so that there is science that can be applied in everyday life."

"Yes, Bang. Thanks for the story. I just have to choose Bang, like Khodijah or Fatimah. But I had to steady myself first like he he he he."

Candra smiled widely. Salma had already returned to her carefree mode after hearing her story. He stared at his secretary's back until it was lost behind the boarding gate. Now, he drove his car around to his house.

Third night.

In two different places. In the silence of the night and the silence of prayer and the martyrdom of the dhikr strand, two people pray to each other for guidance to Allah the best mate.

After the prayer was said, his heart whispered :

...I should be the Khodijah who comes to you to express my taste. Or am I the Fatimah who loves you in silence and prayer....

...(.(.Salma)...

...Is it true that Salma Savitri is the soul mate God chose for me? May I soon have a clue in the dream....

...(.(.Candra)...
