Destiny Separates Us
part. 146

Evan and Andra were sitting in a cafe waiting for someone.

"sorry, I'm late" said Lala who had just arrived

"it's okay, please sit down. want what message?"ask Evan

"later Van." replied Lala and she sat in front between Evan and Andra

"okay. how are you?"

"good."

"hmm, la. I actually want to say something to you."

Lala scrunched her forehead "what's Van? how does it look so serious?"

Evan looked doubtful and embarrassed, while Andra could only hear and pay attention to his two.

"actually I've liked you for a long time, la. I want to take you seriously."

"huh.how do you mean, Van?"

"yes I want to marry you."

Lala seemed to think "Van, I actually have the same feeling but we can't possibly unite because of our differences in beliefs" Lala replied confusedly

"yes I know, la. but how can we be together. do you want to follow my beliefs, la?"ask Evan to the point while Andra just bobbing his head at Evan's bravery

"do you want to be a convert?"

"give me time, van. This is not easy for me. changing beliefs is not something that can be done like turning the palm of the hand. I will tell you as soon as possible."

"well, I'll wait for you."

"hmm, yes."

Lala was led by an ustadz to recite the shahada, in seconds. Lala is also a Muslim. Lala was crying because she remembered Hania

"why are you crying?"ask ustadz

"it's okay ustadz, I just remember my late friend.I've learned a lot from him but it was my decision to choose Islam when he left me. I just hope he can see me here, I will try to improve myself, as good as my best friend."

"God, what a glorious friendship.may you two be reunited in his heaven God as the leader of the angel of his heaven God.aamiin."

"aamiin, thank you ustadz."

now that Lala is legitimately a convert, Lala cries when she says the words of the creed she has long wanted to say. ever since she became friends with Hania, Lala learned so much about Islam that her heart trembled.

"means I can doain Hania, right, dra?"

"before you convert to Islam, you can pray hania, la." replied Andra smiling

"iya dra, but now I can get closer to Hania because we are at faith" Lala replied embarrassedly

"may Istiqomah yes, la."

"aamiin, thank you dra."

"same-sama, so how is this friend of mine, la?"ask Andra

Lala turned towards Evan who looked calm.

"god willing, if Allah wills, may Allah make things easy" Lala replied with a smile and lowered her head

"aamiin." answered Andra, while Evan could only smile
