One Love Two Beliefs
Requesting Time

📩 (Assalamualaikum ... Sorry Bang, Anna is on business, so can't pick up the phone from Abang, Anna will call when it's done).

Anna sent a message to Abbas.The blue tick immediately appeared there. A sign that the message has been read.

📩(Waalaikumussalam .. I'm sorry you've been bothering you, brother is just worried. Yeah, brother wait for the call back)

Anna breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer replies to the chat messages he started. Her body was with Darren but her mind went nowhere. Anna seemed to think of something. And it was clearly visible by his behavior.

"Is there a serious problem?" tanya Darren broke Anna's daydream.

"Ah, no, Mas!" Anna answered him. Anna was silent again.

"If there's a problem, you can tell the same story!" Darren restarted the chat.

Dio who was among them just smiled. Just this time he heard Darren speak softly to a woman. Even once in a while Dio sees Darren stealing glances at Anna. Things he never did.

Anna smiled in response. Unlike the past, when Anna has not become a Muslim woman. Anna would ask a lot and talk to Darren. There were many things he asked the young man. But after Anna emigrated, she was more able to control her attitude. Especially to men who are not muhrimmya.

Like this time, if it wasn't for her Papa problem Anna was awkward to be with Darren. I don't know why there was guilt in his heart when he was with Darren, even though they weren't together this time. Abbas was always on his mind.

"An ...." said Darren again.

"It looks like Anna has to go home, Mas! Sorry for interrupting Mas Darren's work time. Please tell Anna if there's any progress on Papa's case!" Anna quickly stood up from her seat, the girl also said goodbye to Dio who looks busy in front of his laptop.

"Mas Dio, Anna went home first," Dio who was reprimanded stopped his work.

"Ko, what a spiff?" Dio looked at the time on the wall jan was attached to the room, whereas he himself used a watch. "It's soon lunchtime if you don't eat first." Dio said. Anna nodded in response.

"No need to bother, Mom. Anna has to go back to Bogor, there's something Anna has to finish there!"

"Yes already! Let's get some?" Darren offered himself.

"No need, Mas Darren. Let Anna go home alone. Once again, Anna was very grateful to Mas Darren, who had been willing to help Papa to this extent. For the request of Papa who wants our matchmaking, Anna asked Mas Darren to solve the problem first, then please Mas and Papa continue it," said Anna then cupped both hands in the chest. "Anna excuse me, Assalamualaikum," said Anna slightly bent her body and then moved from Darren's room.

"Waalaikumussalam," answered Dareen and Dio compact. Darren just kept silent to see Anna's departure.

Anna came out of Darren's room.

"Anter sono, bro! Wonderful, so slow gini my lawyer ngadepin tuh chick."

"Oh, yes." Dareen scratched the nape of his neck without permission and went out to catch Anna, driving the girl to the lobby.

Dio shook his head looking at Darren's behavior. What love can make a Darren who is famous for being wise, smart and authoritative suddenly stupid silent like that.

"An ..." call Darren while running a little after Anna.

"Why Mas?" anna asked astonished to see Darren catching up with her.

"No, I'll just take you to the lobby." Darren walked along with Anna.

No talk while they walk. Until he reaches the lobby, Anna is alone with Darren.

"Anna said to Mas," Anna again cupped both hands to her chest with a slight bow.

"Be careful, An!"

Anna replied with a smile then walked towards the parking lot. Darren is back in his room.

Anna refuses when Darren offers to take her home because Anna takes her own car when she comes there.

Walking towards the parking lot, Anna passed by a luxurious car that stopped right in front of her as Anna was about to pass by. The car blocked his way. Anna took a few steps back as the back car door opened, until a middle-aged man walked out from there. Someone Anna knew very well. Mr. Bagaskara, Darren's father.

The middle-aged man came out and smiled towards Anna. There were many changes Anna saw in him. Whitened hair clearly indicates his age is no longer young. The car he was riding drove towards the parking lot. Leaving Mr. Bagaskara with Anna.

"Pick Bagas!" said Anna as Mr. Bagaskara approached her. "Assalamu'alaikum, Abi!" greet Anna while cupping her hands on her chest.

Mr. Bagaskara smiled at the change that was so soothing to the eyes before him. The daughter of her best friend was emigrated. Beautiful in hijab and clothes that cover her aura. In the past, when he met her, Anna immediately embraced his body. Anna is like her own daughter. But this time different beautiful girl in front of him is different he understands his limits with people who are not mahramnya.

"Wa'alaikumussalam, Anna! Abi until pangling sees you. Honestly, I did not recognize you." said Mr. Bagaskara while cupping his hand as well. "Alhamdulillah, guidance has come to you, An," he continued.

"Alhamdulillah, Abi. But Anna is still learning to be a good Muslim" Anna smiled.

"Slow with intention and really, Abi is sure you can learn well, An. Uh, what are you doing here, by the way? Already met DarrenDarren," asked Mr. Bagaskara.

"Already, Abi! anna went to Mas Darren to ask him a few things about Papa's case." Anna slightly lowered her head as she spoke.

"Do you want to talk to Abi for a minute?" pinta Mr. Bagaskara. The old man looked at Anna who was a little confused. "If there's no time, we'll continue next time!"

"Anna wants to, Abi but can't take long. Anna has to go back to Bogor, there's some business Anna has to settle there."

Cafeteria located not far from the Darren law office is now the choice of Mr. Bagaskara. It was a coincidence that Mr. Bagaskara met Anna, there were some things he wanted to ask the daughter of his best friend.

"You must have heard some of the stories from your mom or Darren." Anna nodded.

"Isn't Abi the owner of the company, Abi should be the most powerful there?" Anna's voice was slightly raised. "Sorry, Abi." Anna regretted her tone.

"Abi really understands how you feel, but Abi makes sure everything will be back to the way it was. Abi, please be patient. Because it's not easy. If Abi reports it straight back. He will withdraw all his shares from the company. This is Abi discussing with your Papa, he's the one who told Abi to do this, because he doesn't want thousands of employees to lose their jobs and Abi has to get this done quickly." Mr. Bagaskara paused his words. Then back to her. "Your father has sacrificed so far, Abi does not want everything to be in vain" he said later.

the chatter went on beyond the time Anna had provided. Much has Mr. Bagaskara spoken to Anna. Anna does not care anymore about the scheduled departure to Bogor. He wants a clearer year than Abinya Darren. Because with Mama and Darren there's just something they're hiding.

"One more, An. Abi talked to your father. About ... Your matchmaking."

"On that matter, Anna asked Abi for time. After Anna returns from Bogor, Anna will give her the answer."

Mr. Bagaskara nodded slowly.

"Abi, thanks in advance, has been helping Anna's family all this time. Anna said goodbye, Assalamu'alaikum." said Anna while looking down politely and then passed leaving Mr. Bagaskara.

"Anna .., Abi sanagt is happy if you accept this match. Abi especially Umi already thinks of you as our son." murmured Mr. Bagaskara seeing Anna's departure.

...

Aunt Melly and Om Anwar have returned to Jakarta after meeting Darren the other day. Papa was already free from criminal entrapment, because it has paid the full loss of the company. But Papa Reno's side appealed, the last time he showed evidence defending Papa Reno. The trial will continue one month later, the evidence must be examined further and must be based in accordance with the report.

"Ma... Pah.., Anna has to return to Bogor for a few days. Anna is heavy to leave you, "Anna said as she was tidy to leave.

Anna turned to sit on the edge of the patient's bed. While Mama Ami sat on a bench near Papa Reno who was bribed by apples.

"Papa's gonna be fine, son! Go then! There's Mama accompanying Papa here, you don't have to worry." Papa Reno looked at Mama Ami. A little nod in the get from his wife.

"Calm down, we'll be fine. After the decision to be released from detention. Mama felt relieved, the important thing is to be together and accompany Papa." said Mama Ami.

Anna smiled then stood up and approached her Mama giving her a brief hug and kiss on her Papa's forehead.

"Sorry, Mama can't take you to the airport" Mama Ami said as she escorted Anna out of the hospital.

"No pa-pa, Mah! Anna's grown up, no need to be in between." Anna chuckled small.

"Yes, you're a big boy, and soon people will be asking." The two then fell silent until they finally arrived at the hospital lobby.

Mama Ami accompanied Anna until the online car she ordered came. Karnea Anna left her car at the shophouse. "What about Abbas?" mama Ami asked, She knows how Anna feels. Want to ask this problem, but Mama Ami did not have much room to talk together. Mama Ami always accompanied Papa Reno because no one else accompanied him.

"Anna has made up her mind, Mah. Anna rejected Bang Abbas's sermon. Anna will give the answer when she arrives in Bogor later."

Mama Ami turned to Anna. He shook his head slowly.

"You love each other, son! We're talking about this very well with Papa" Mama Ami grabbed Anna's hand, persuading her to think about her decision first.

"Anna wants to realize Papa's wish, Mah. Most of the people that Papa chose one faith with Anna, Anna will learn a lot of the religion that Anna currently professes to her."

"By sacrificing your feelings?"

Anna smiled a smile. "Love will get used to it after marriage. Pray for the happiness of Anna's decision, Mah!"

Mama Ami hugged her daughter tightly.

"May your consecrated sacrifice bear the fruit of happiness."

"Amen... " Anna answered. Their hugs came off slowly as the driver of the online car approached asking Anna.

"Excuse me... With Anna's sister?" ask the Driver.

"Yes, I'm Sir! just a minute!" The driver nodded slowly and returned to his car.

Anna turned again to her mother.

"Anna left first, maybe about two to three days in Bogor. Want to pick up the goods at kos an, too. Want Anna to put it in Om Anwar's place, first." Mama Ami nodded in understanding then pulled her daughter into a hug.

"Be careful on the road. Call Mama when you get there. May my every step be protected by the Creator of Salvation" said Mama Ami in her arms.

"Amen... Thank you, Mah. Anna pamit, Assalamu'alaikum."

"Mosur."

Mama Ami answered Anna's greeting. Although at this time they are different beliefs but when there are those who say greetings. Mama Ami always answered.

Anna walked over to the online car that was waiting for her. It was time to face the struggle of his heart. Anna did not want to continue delaying. It would hurt the feelings of the faithful waiting for him.

"Abang, I'm sorry Anna. May you understand and accept Anna's decision." Anna looked at the ring on her ring finger.

Abbas's gift ring, a relic from his mother's house. Anna will return it to the actual owner of the item.
