Chapter 10 Painting Hope With Prayer.

On a colder night. Even Rina, who did not close her eyes, typed a chat to Hafiz.

[I haven't slept yet, Mas. How? Is there any problem?]

In silence, Rina tapped her index finger on the cellphone screen while waiting for a chat reply from Hafiz. After a long wait, he glanced at Eza.

'It's so nice to be able to sleep,' she thought.

Drrrttt!

He was impatient and immediately opened.

[How is this I have to marry Runia soon, tomorrow. Tonight also can't sleep, restless Ri....]

[So ... can you tell me or not. How did it happen two months ago?]

Reply to Rina's chat. Rina was again waiting for a chat from Hafiz while looking at the handsome face that was closed in front of her.

[The fact and the incident was that we were celebrating our graduation two months ago. Me and my friends, come home in the middle of the night. Meanwhile, Runia has just returned from Australia. Because I drive the car. The brakes suddenly failed. And accidentally hit the car that Runia was traveling in. Nothing too bad, after the accident it was just the car. My friends and I were willing to take responsibility and take the car to the repair shop. After that incident, we didn't see each other. I want to propose to her sister, her name is Elsa. I confide in a friend whose name is Tio, my friend said he wanted to help. I'm so excited. I came to the restaurant. After running out of strawberry juice I did not realize. Woke up I was in the room with Runia without clothes. That's... so... his family asked me to marry him. I believe this is Tio and Elsa's trap.]

Chat Hafiz.

Rina started typing.

[Just get married, what's so hard about it ... I see the photo is beautiful too. Surely it can be ... love comes from getting used to. I didn't know her at first but right… at least she looks better than the one called Elsa.]

Reply to Rina.

[Do you know where? Don't judge people by their physical appearance. I'll just live it. But the problem is he chats with me, yes, he has had a fiancé for a while. How about it! His father was desperate to marry us. Dizzy ... he was forced not to refuse for fear his father would be shocked. Couldn't see his father sick. And... I got into this drama. Then how about you tomorrow looking for a wedding dress?]

Ask in WhatsApp chat.

[Yeah sob. Sadly... but I do know a secret. So in the past, our grandparents and Doctor Eza's family had intended to marry me off to Dirga. And ... Mother did it on purpose because of my late Grandma's request, so ... maybe my lifeline is like this. And the most surprising thing, doctor Naina, your ex-girlfriend. Convicted that Mother has cancer.]

After sending the chat, Rina couldn't hold back her tears again. He glanced at Eza and immediately wiped his tears.

"If I cry again he will be angry," he grumbled.

His phone vibrated again. He swiped the red screen rejecting the call.

"Ouch... why did Hafiz even call...." he muttered.

[Don't call me it's getting late.]

[You since when?! You're not lying about mom, are you?]

It can be seen from the chat that Hafiz is more worried.

[That's why mom wants to marry me right away. So that the mother can occupy the mandate of her late parents. It feels more congested and painful when you know the truth. If I know this, I'll just accept it without protest. So far, I've always been in denial. I didn't see the pain mom was feeling at all. So I just accepted my marriage to Dirga even though I know what kind of person Dirga is. You know yourself, Dirga has broken through the hole of pleasure that is not lawful. Many of my friends got pregnant first because of him and he didn't want to be responsible. Lazy to give money to abort their pregnancy. Sob... so tragic. Will I be able to turn Dirga into a loyal figure? I'm not sure about that, Mr. I might cry for the rest of my life.]

The chat made Rina so tormented she embraced her bent knees with her hands.

Drrrttt!

[Rest assured. Khusnudhon with Allah, there must be an easy way later. I'm also still learning to accept the decisions that God has arranged. And remember the power of prayer, but be self-aware too. If it has not been granted, remember that there are still many sins. I am religious. Waking up in a third of the night but not worshiping Him. If the night stays up playing games, finally the dawn prayer when the sun has gone. Naudhubillah ... that's how his prayer asked to be answered. Worship is still very bad asking for heaven. Huft ... humans like to complain. In essence, let's fight together so that we can love the people who will be side by side with us. So that our life partner becomes a positive figure from us. We must also be able to be a positive figure for our partners.]

After reading the chat, Rina took a deep breath. Never once did she suspect that the man who would marry her would be a man who likes to give warmth when dating any woman.

Because she is still a village neighbor and her classmate, Rina knows Dirga's attitude. Rina also remembers something that happened. What his eyes see and his ears hear.

[How can I forget it. The incident about five years ago is still vivid and vivid in my memory. When Dirga flatly refused, my classmate named Shinta. Sinta asked Dirga to marry her. But easily Dirga broke. As usual, in general, men avoid responsibility, if men want to dodge and do not want to be responsible. Surely the answer would be, "With whoever wants it, especially with uncles. How can you prove that it's my son when you and anyone else want to sleep together." That's the reason Dirga, those who say that don't deserve to be called humans. And the thing that cut my heart the most, was when Sinta died in front of my eyes. With blood in his stomach. The most tragic I read the last message myself. But easily Dirga feels innocent and feels innocent. He kept repeating and repeating. Even though there were incidents like Sinta that ended her life. He is still not afraid that God is just. Oh my God... so terrible, and he's going to marry me. Hopefully when the wedding he escapes. Amen, I hope so. Hehehe.]

Rina's chat at length.

Drrrttt.

[Amen. Not wrong. Allah is Willing, may what you wish will happen.]

Rina rubbed her face and hoped for a miracle from the Divine.

The car stopped, Rina looked back, a look of relief on her face, after seeing familiar houses.

"Alhamdulillah ... arrived in front of the house," he murmured rubbing his face. Rina immediately got down and walked forward.

"Thank you, sir," said Rina. The policeman smiled.

"Be careful, lock the door immediately," said the policeman. Rina nodded the police car drove and Rina immediately entered the house.
