God has always had the most beautiful secrets for His servants. Secrets that we do not know and have God prepared. Like a gift, when the time comes we can open and see the contents. Surely Allah will give the most beautiful gifts, only sometimes people fail to thank Him for the most beautiful gifts that have been received.
After the rain there must be a rainbow, behind the difficulties there must be ease. And the storm will soon pass. That is what Latifah did. After a failure in the first Taaruf process, two months later Allah presented a Muhammad Azril. It seems that God did not allow Latifah to drag on in her grief. The process of taaruf this time was quite short and somehow Latifah felt so steady with the answer from the istikharah he did repeatedly. Azril himself – more familiarly called Aril – do not want to linger with this process. So, after two months, he also preached Latifah to his parents in Padang. At that time, Aril was accompanied by his family
ask Latifah's parents to hold the wedding procession as soon as possible. Neither Latifah nor her parents objected.
After the application process was completed, Latifah returned to Jakarta. With Lani he was busy preparing his wedding supplies; wedding clothes, sandals, sheets, and other equipment that was considered necessary. Lani happily accompanies Latifah shopping for all her needs. A week before the wedding he should have arrived in Padang, so the message of his parents.
“It looks like Mas Aril is a believer who Quickly He Can. “ comments Lani
Latifah laughed at Lani's words. “ What the hell? “
“Yes yes. Everyone wants to go fast. “
“Ngapain also long, ntar even hard to keep heart. “
“Kayak song. You fell in love first with him. “
“Too fast if you are in love now? His marriage is already a week away. “ goda Latifah.
“Ye...” Lani pushes Latifah shoulder. “ Fah, I'm glad you finally got married. Turns out my words
used to be right. “
“Which word? “
“That's it; failed to be a doctor mom, instead became a board mother. In the past, I would often ridicule you for marrying a board member." Lani laughed
Latifah laughed again. “ Oh, yes. How can ya? “
“It turns out that God actually granted it. “
Aril is a representative of the people based in Senayan. Precisely not far from the contract Lani and Latifah. Again, Atikah who mengomblangin them.
“Don't Mas Aril have seen you before. “
“Ah, see where? You see for yourself dong, MPR-DPR building tuh from here that looks just the roof doang. Ngaco you ah. “
Lani nyengir's.
“Gagal can Aa’ get Mas-mas. “ Lani chuckles.
“Lani, already. Don't reveal what has passed. “
“Iya, sori. Just kidding. “
Latifah closed the travel bag he would bring to Padang.
“When to Jakarta return plan? “
“Sunday after wedding. Aril's work can't be left behind, so can I. Uh, Lan
actually, you are coming to Padang in four days. Careful if you don't? “
“Iya, yes. Not really believing. I may not have come to your wedding. Anyway, I got a free ticket. Darling dong is not used. “ said Lani.
“The event is free. “
“Yes yes. Ntar is replace. If I get married, I give you a free ticket. “
Latifah laughs. “Hopefully follow soon, yes “
“Aamiin. The candidate has been prepared by God, just counting the days. “ replied Lani kalem.
Latifah smile. “Aamiin. “
Lani looked at her friend who was busy cleaning with teary eyes. She will be married for another week and then will be staying with her husband. He will live alone, no more cooking and cleaning houses together, streets on weekends, discussions until late at night, Lani will definitely be very lost later. Now Lani's chest feels tight. He hurriedly wiped the water when Latifah asked for help to get the scissors.

“Mas, I want to go to Padang Jum’at tomorrow. “ Lani said to Andre.
“Ngapain to Padang? “
“Presenting my best friend's wedding; Latifah. “
“Oh. “
“He's not just a contract friend. Latifah was my best friend since college. “
“Yeah..” Andre mangosteen. “ With which person? “
“People Solo, Mas. But working in Jakarta. “
“Where to work? “
“Employer, Mas. He is currently serving as a member of the House of Representatives. “
“Oh...” Andre mangosteen again. “ What's his name? “
“Aril. Mohammed Azril. Mas familiar? “
“Muhammad Azril, S. IP yes, Commission IV member? “
Lani nodded
“I met him at an event. You want to marry your best friend. When's? “
Lani scratched her head. The feeling was said to leave Friday, meaning this week dong. Strange as Andre.
“Day Sunday tomorrow, Mas. That's why I left Friday. “
“You said the same to Mr Tobing? “
“Already. “
“Back here? “
“Senin. “
Andre frowned. Lani understood what he was thinking.
“No way Mas, I went home that Sunday too. So tired. “
“Kan by plane. “
“Iya. But still tired. “
“Alright, as long as Mr. Tobing doesn't mind."
“He doesn't mind. “
“Okay then, you finish all your tasks before leaving. “
“Good, Mas. “
Lani breathed a sigh of relief.
“Oh, yes send greetings to Aril, say from me. “
Lani nodded.
After returning from the office, Lani plans to buy Latifah a wedding gift. But he was still confused as to what to give. Want to buy a book, Latifah book already a lot, buy sheets Latifah already have. Buy heavy household appliances brought to Padang, is it given here? Or just her? Lani laughed to herself. As she thought, Lani's phone rang. It was from Papa.
“So, you went to Padang Lan? “
“So, Pa. Friday tomorrow. “
“No stopping by the house? “
“Aduh..Papa. Lani just got back from Eid yesterday. I can't dong Pa. From Padang to where we will eat a long time too. Monday I had to go back to Jakarta. “
“Oh. When are you coming home again? “
“InsyaAllah if there is a holiday Lani go home. Are you the same as Lani? “
“Mama is really kangen. “
Lani laughs. “Where's Mama? “
“Not yet to return from school. “
“Ntar night Lani calls yaPa. Lani also misses Mama. “
“Yes...assalamu ‘alaikum. “
“Wa’alaikumsalam warahmatullahiwabarakatuh. “

Now Lani lives alone. After marriage, Latifah was brought by her husband to the MPR-DPR member housing complex. Lani really felt lost. Actually he could have played often at Latifah's house. But, it still makes a difference. They were free to use their time as they pleased. If it was now, Latifah already had someone she had to give time to as well. Because of that, Lani spends more time reading or chatting with high school friends and college friends. But, Lani often dizzy herself also because the discussion is not far from about marriage; anu is already married to this one, that next month, this one even wants to have children. Fingers
they'll ask, Lani when? Uh.sebel. The internship is not finished yet, there are still six months left. Am I really old, huh? It's still 24. My mom married at 25. Brother Lia too, whispered Lani's heart. Frankly, until now Lani has not thought about marriage problems. Not that I don't want to, but Lani is still focused on her internship. Her parents never did. But, why are people on a scene anyway?
Chatting-an with Ziela, her best friend in High School:
Ziela: that soul mate came unexpectedly Lan. Sometimes we say we are not ready but it turns out that God sent us at that time. I guess I was thinking about getting married while I was in college.
Lani: you know ah! I'm not ready zie…
Ziela: everyone will always say not ready. Who knows whether we are ready or not is God
Lani: That's why I don't want to get married. If God had felt I was ready, He would have sent my soul mate. Honestly, I don't feel ready right now. Marriage also needs Zie's knowledge. I don't think my science is enough
Ziela: maybe enough if you don't look. That's why I read a lot
Lani scratched her head. During this time he was less interested in reading the theme of marriage but if the wedding novel would also. If his friends recommend reading books
lani's wedding will surely be blessed.
“From the novel I also got a lesson? “ said Lani
“What lesson? “ says Latifah
“Yah..lessons on marriage, educating children. “
“But not specific Lani. “
Lani nyengir's.
“Not knowing. No soul calls yet. “
“Soul calls are just the reason. We have to prepare ourselves dong from now on. Ntar suddenly collided with a guy on the street, then he married eh. Kan indemnity. “
“Ye...who also want to meet people on the street Trus invited to marry directly want. Lo aja kale..”
“That's figurative. I mean, ready an umbrella before it rains. “
“I feel now do not want rain, so have not bought an umbrella. “
“Ah, suck talking to you. “
“Iya..iya..iya will learn a lot, read a lot, many friends, ask a lot. What's again? “
“Well..gitu dong. Tomorrow when the prince comes, he's ready. “
Lani sneers. “ The science is ready, if the mental is not the same as a lie. “
“That mental readiness is born of feeling. There is a feeling that I think it is because of science. Everyone's going back there. “
“Sok make your theory. Not keep on knowing. “
If you remember conversations with friends, both through WA and the phone always makes Lani want to laugh. They say Lani ngeyel. Lani admitted that she was a wayward, she always followed her heart, no matter what others would turn around to hear her decision. Sometimes his decision even makes people hang because of shock. To this day, I still have no thoughts about marriage. Already several times the offer to marry Lani refused, on the grounds that it was not ready. He was too young to get married.
“You like kids. Yeah, wait what else. Let's have a real child.“ this conversation with another friend.
“Ye..if you like children, you do not have to get married quickly. Children of people
it can be loved too. “
“But it is more fun if the child himself. “
Lani laughs.
“Don't be happy just kids. He also thought of dong for his father's nyari. “
“Ah, error lo. “
Chat with Syifa :
Syifa: be careful Lan. Ntar so Pertu you know.alias spinster.
Lani: I have just 24 Syifa.
Syifa: now 24, next year 25. next year again? If you keep this up when else dong? Age goes on.
Lani: trus, how do you want me? Standing on the side of the road trus nawarin yourself?
Syifa: Ih, you're crazy! Yes not.ask for dong…
Lani: yes, now cariin.
Syifa : really?
Lani: yes, next year.
Syifa: really?
Lani bobbing head. It's good to say old virgin. Syifa forgot that she was 24, still cute, still funny. Ih..about-marriage. But really not Syifa want nyariin? Ah, where could Syifa have. He's too busy with his cake business.

Lani and Farah were having a conversation, when a young woman entered the office. That woman is beautiful and young. He wears a pink blouse, white trousers and a hood that matches the blouse he wears. A bag with a famous brand was draped on his shoulders.
“Good day Brother Farah. “ greet the woman
“Eh, Sister Davina. Good afternoon. “
The davina? Wait...wait..bot Lani spinning, is not Davina the name of Mr. Tobing's son?
“Udah long yes, Mbak did not play here? “
“I'm busy Ma'am, make a thesis. “ Davina replied
“Oh...is done? “
“Next week I hear a thesis. “
“May be facilitated by Allah Yes Mbak. “
Davina smiled. “Bapak no Mbak? “
“There's in his room. “
“Mas Andre isn't there? “ whispered Davina quietly.
“Ndon't know. “ Farah turned to Lani. “ Mbak Lani, Mas Andre is not?“
You know, how am I even?Think Lani.
“Feeling is not going anywhere, Fa. In his room kali. “
“Oh, yes know Madam Davina. This is Ms. Lani. Never met you, right? “
Lani extends her hand to Davina. Davina greeted him with a smile. “Mbak new yes here? “
“Ngak not very recently, Ma'am. Maybe every time Madam Davina comes here, I go out to meet clients. I'm still an intern here. “
“Oh...” Davina mangosteen. “Oh, yes, call Vina aja, Mbak. “ he said friendly.
Lani returned the beautiful girl's smile. “OK, China. “
Andre came out of his room.
“Siang, Andre Mas. “ Davina approaching Andre.
“Eh, Vina.“ Andre looks clumsy when he sees Davina. At first glance he had a glance towards Farah and Lani. “You see Father? “
“Iya. I'd like to meet Andre too. We rarely meet. Where did Andre go, I never played home again? Very busy huh. “
“Ya. “
Farah elbowed Lani's arm slowly. Lani looked over, then smiled.
“That's what digosipin will be the wife of Mas Andre. “ said Farah.
“Oo..”
“Makanya Mas Andre is not married yet, because he is still waiting for Davina's mother. “
“Oo..”
“Kok, Ms. Lani from earlier said oo. “
“Trus, I have to say what Farah? “
“What comments are you? “
“What comments? “
“According to Mbak Lani, Mas Andre does not match Davina? “
Lani pretended to think. “Suitable times yes..”
“But I don't feel it. Mas Andre is the same as Mbak Lani. “
“Farah. You're this! From which side I try to match Andre. Clearly, we are often among us
there's conflict. “
“That's exactly it, Ma'am. If Ma'am and Andre fight, funny. Kayak husband wife “
“Farah, enough yes. Don't continue. “ Lani moved from her seat.
“But really Kok Mbak. “ cried Farah. “ Mbak Lani equals Mas Andre it..”.
The sound of people hearing. “ Ahem. Farah, I'm the same Lani why? “
Farah looked up, it turned out that Andre was already standing near her. Farah. From far away Lani was curling her tongue. Farah clenched a fist towards Lani. Lani laughed with satisfaction.
“Em. Excuse um. “ Farah leaves Andre.
