''Assalamualaikum.''
''Walaikumsalam.''
Leon replied without turning to the source of his already very memorized voice.
''It's been a long time here.'' asked Fatima quietly.
'' two hours ago, after I came from the stall.'' said Leon slowly his eyes focused on the front of the meadow which was covered with beautiful wildflowers.
''You saw it.'' asked Fatima
''Is he the man who invites you ta'aruf.'' asked Leon curiously
''Yes and like him you already know each other.'' said Fatima slowly
''He's a friend of my co-worker. We met at the headquarters. That's all the next we don't really know each other.'' said Leon honestly.
''Where do you think.'' asked Fatima
''It's not like anything.'' Leon replied
''Are you not worried.'' asked Fatima again.
''What I want to worry about is that I am not worried at all. I really believe in you that you can make wise decisions. Let God decide it. I consider this my first ordeal after I became a convert God is testing my patience and sincerity.''
Hearing the words of Leon Fatima was very sure the man in front of her who was sitting back to Fatima was a wise figure not carried away by the atmosphere and circumstances. Fatima sits among the grasses right behind Leon.
''Sure that.'' asked Fatima again
''Very sure as sure as when I decided to convert and embrace this beautiful religion.'' said Leon while smiling thinly. while Fatima was increasingly convinced by the man in front of her.
''I always ask for guidance from God in each of my prostrations to give the best mahram to me whoever it is.'' said Fatima behind Leon.
''May Allah bless all your prayers. Giving the best to you I also always pray for the best for you in each of my prostrations in each of my prayer beads.'' Leon breathed his breath heavily. Seeing Reyhan several times come to Fatima's stall not just buying flowers. But Leon had also heard their conversation.It turns out Reyhan was the person who invited Fatima ta'aruf.
Leon quickly found out who Reyhan son of the famous kiai in the land of Java that has boarding schools not only one place. And also Reyhan the best graduate of Al Azhar Cairo who is now continuing his S2 studies in the same place. Once Leon felt nothing compared to Reyhan to his religious understanding. Leon is still laid out with Fatima who became his teacher. What a tough rival Leon thinks the Hajj sir would prefer Reyhan to be his daughter's mahram.
Two hours of pensive sitting in Fatima's favorite place made Leon understand the meaning of sincerity and patience all things only God can determine
''Go Fatima Rima is waiting for you is not good for you to linger here with me for a long time.'' said Leon slowly full of tenderness the man was preparing his heart with the stipulation of Allah Tetang who will be the mahram for Fatima.
''Asalamualaikum.''
''Walaikum salam.''
''Why is this test so hard Fatima in the moment I started to find calmness.'' Leon exhaled his heavy breath staring at the clear sky but not as bright as his heart at the moment.
An hour later Leon was still unmoved from his seat.
''Asalamualaikum.''
''Walaikumsalam.''
Leon replied in shock as he turned to the source of the voice.
''Sir hajj.'' Leon looked at his Abi Fatima then stood up from his seat.
''Son Leon what are you doing here.'' Ask haji sir.
''No Hajj sir just enjoys this beautiful place, '' Leon replied quickly with a thin smile,
''Why are you exactly the same as my daughter likes to linger long in this place.''the inner Hajj sir stared fixedly at Leon.
''As to where you pray every day, ask for guidance from God.'' asked the hajj sir wondering if Leon was also impatient like Reyhan's thing
''Every day pray Hajj sir not only because there is this problem and ask for his instructions. Before I converted I also prayed but in a different way.'' Leon said with a calm face.
''You seem very calm and there is no worry.'' Leon smiled faintly at the hajj sir's words.
''There is nothing for Leon to worry about, and everything on this earth that belongs to God will all return to him. Not even a small ant belongs to Allah can prevent and forbid it if Allah wills it. So too with Fatima's soul mate. Whoever it is no one can prevent it even Fatima once.''
Leon said very calmly made the Hajj sir amazed by Leon's thoughts that were much more sincere not carried away by the atmosphere and circumstances.
''It turns out that I was wrong to think about Leon. You think son Leon will fight for Fatima whatever the way.'' said the Hajj sir again.
''No Hajj sir I will be very and happier to see Fatima happy with her soul mate. Whoever he is, consider it a trial to test my faith. I am sure God loves me very much. And God cannot possibly give trials at the limit of my ability, Leon replied quickly and straightforwardly
Pak Haji smiled happily to hear the words of Leon young man who had just become a convert turned out to be very quick to understand every problem that came to test him. Consider this a test for her, because God loves her more.
''Son Leon the father is very happy and proud son Leon is not necessarily angry and disappointed that can make Leon son lost his mind and do anything for what Leon want to be achieved, will be achieved, I am quite happy and proud even though I have just embraced this beautiful religion, Leon will be able to master the patience of Leon's son, it means that the faith of Leon son is not empty.'' said the Hajj sir while patting Leon's shoulder firmly.
''Father can only pray that what Leon wants to pray day and night God immediately give his dijabah, believe me son leon no prayer in vain.'' mr. Haji again patted leon's sturdy shoulder
''You are indeed a good young man if Fatima is not your soul mate, be sure that God has prepared a better soul mate than Fatima. Because a soul mate is a reflection of themselves.
Pak Haji can only advise Leon back again only God can determine all his soul mate Riski and death we humans can only pray and try.
