Stringing the Grain of Love
Chapter 5 = Momentary

Today is exactly six months Syahla served in Al Barokah pesantren, the day Syahla passed with full gratitude and happiness.

This morning Ustadz Usman and Umi Laila will release his only son Fahmi Alaydrus to build a household and become a good Imam for his family later, Fahmi Alaidrus will marry and sail the household ark with the choice of her heart Rania Shanum.

At this time Ana feels lost in her figure, how not, Ana already considers her cousin's sister like her biological brother, Ana does not have an older brother, her two older brothers Ana is a girl, Ana is a girl, Ana and Fahmi are sometimes like tom and jerry, sometimes like the middle finger and index finger.

The wedding procession Fahmi and Rania has been completed, invited guests began to arrive into the building, do'a and greeting continues to roll on the two brides.

Seen two girls wearing dress couples with army colored clothes and greenmint hijab alloy, the two girls began to enter the building.

when the crowd of Syahla's eyes caught a figure that he had always admired, yes the man was Rayyan Shahid al-Fatih, but certainly, when Syahla knew the existence of Rayyan, Syahla always submits his gaze, but certainly, when Syahla knew Rayyan was, because Shahla knew this would lead to adultery, Rayyan came with a middle-aged mother, more likely her mother Rayyan, to be exact, but Syahla felt familiar with a mother who was beside Rayyan, she felt she had met but somewhere.

As Shahla watched them, she saw them walking towards her.

Then Shahla looked down and cursed herself.

"*Istigfar Shah, keep your eyes on*" he said in his heart

And sure enough they came to Shahla and Ana.

"Assalamu'alaikum I'm sorry, can I have a word?" said the mother

"Wa'alaikumussalam can be ma'am." said Syahla

"Son, I think I've seen you, if it's not wrong, you're the one who did not care at the pharmacy, right?" said the mother tried to remember

"Yes my mom." replied Syahla

"Alhamdulillah we finally met, sorry, I forgot I did not say thank you" said the mother

"iya gapapa ma'am." replied Syahla with his trademark smile

" oh yeah, let's introduce Hasna's mother's name, and this is Rayyan's mother's son, whose name are you?" said the mother

"My name is Syahla ma'am, this is my best friend" replied Syahla turning to Ana

"I'm Kirana ma'am, call me Ana" Ana said

"Kirana's niece Ustadz Usman isn't a son?" ask the mother

"iya ma'am I'm Uncle Usman's niece" replied ana assented

"MaaSyaAllah, the same mother as the late husband Mother likes to play at your uncle's house, and as you remember your mother was still a child, but now you are big so pangling son. " Say Mother Hasna

"yes, ma'am, I'm sorry I want to go there first" said Ana then turned to look towards Shahla

"My father went there first." he continued then passed from them

now there is Syahla, Hasna and Rayyan's mother who is there, Syahla feels nervous, even though she hopes Ana does not go.

"Eh son Shahla already have a candidate yet?" said Mother Hasna

Degs..

"*Yes Rabb why Rayyan's mother asked this question*" said Syahla

"emm my mom? I don't have one yet, I ask for her prayers ma'am." replied Syahla a little nervous

"there's no one as cute as you, son?" ask Hasna's mother

"emm maybe his soul mate hasn't come yet ma'am." replied Syahla spontaneously

"Mom believe in you son, you can't be close to a man who is not a mahram, I know you take care of your marwah as a woman" said Ms. Hasna

"Aamiin, may Allah bless you always." replied Ms. Hasna

"Rayyan doesn't have a candidate yet, does Syahla want to be Mom's daughter-in-law?" Further

Deg

"*Yaa Rabb the servant must answer what, only You know the servant wants it, but the servant is aware of Ya Rabb, although the servant only sees the look on his face, which obviously does not want the servant, but the servant is aware of the Lord, I can clearly grasp from the look in his eyes the doubt, I am also aware that the servant is just an ordinary person and does not deserve to be with him*." - Inner Shahla

Syahla had not yet responded, Rayyan immediately cut off their conversation.

" Mom, let's go there, Rayyan is still working, ma'am, I'm going to have lunch." Rayyan said and was only nodding by her mother

"Sir Shahla, Mother first yes, Assalamu'alaikum" said Ms. Hasna

"Yes Bu Wa'alaikumussalam." replied Syahla

Then they passed from before Shahla

"*Yeah of Allah.I try to keep this feeling, I never get tired and stop saying his name in my prayer, but the decree is with You, O Rabb, I will not be afraid, I leave all my business to You*." Inner Shahla

Adzan Dzuhur reverberated, the event was held in advance to perform the prayer dzuhur, besides the hall there is a large mosque overlooking the tea plantation.

After performing the dzuhur prayer, Syahla and Ana rest for a while on the terrace of the mosque overlooking the tea plantation.

"Well, what were you and Rayyan's mother talking about? you see, I noticed that serious rich." asked Ana curiously

"you left me, you should have said if you wanted to go, I was ashamed to talk to them" replied Syahla upset

"the Shah's training will not be embarrassed again hihi, uh answer my question first" concluded Ana

" do not discuss what, just it just I already have a candidate what not" replied Syahla

" keep answering what?" asked Ana curiously

"i answer that I don't have one yet." replied Shahla

"how did Rayyan's mother react? is it okay to make you his daughter-in-law?" asked Ana, getting curious

"iya Ana, but maybe it's just a stale base" replied Syahla

"MaaShaaAllah seriously Shah? I pray that it will be the reality of the Shah." said Ana

"ga may be Ana, I did not take it seriously, maybe Rayyan's mother wants to get married quickly, given her age is increasing, she wants to immediately fondle grandchildren, he said, so spontaneous is his mother said like that." said Syahla

" but Shah, Rayyan's mother knows which woman is good, you're beautiful again, so Rayyan's mother chose you" Ana praised

"engga Ana, I'm normal, don't overdo it" said Syahla

" uh Shah, did Rayyan's mother say that you helped her at the pharmacy, but how do I feel that there is a connection with the figure you admire?" ask Ana

" Right Ana, it has something to do, Rayyan and the person I admire that I told you about, it's the same person" Syahla replied

"MaaShaaAllah Shah, honestly I was moved, maybe God intended Rayyan to teach in this pesantren, to meet you Shah, God brought you closer" said Ana

"no Ana, I don't expect it, I just pray it" replied Syahla

"eh Ana we go to the hall yu, soon the event will begin" he continued

Syahla and Ana intend to return to the hall, but while walking towards the hall, Syahla and Ana cross paths with Rayyan, who Rayyan is approaching them.

" excuse me, can I have a word?" rayyan said with a look towards Shahla

Deg

"Oh Allah, what is this, why is my heart beating faster." - Shahla who was bowing

" it may be ustadz." not Syahla who answered but Ana

" My shah first yes, let ustadz Assalamu'alaikum." continued Ana and left them

" O Allah Ana, your custom, always leave me in this position." - Inwardly Shahla

"Emm.i-iya Ustadz what is necessary?" said Syahla who looks awkward

"about what my mother said earlier, please do not take me seriously, actually I have chosen someone for my sermon, only I have not spoken to my mother" Rayyan explained

" yes yes, ga papa." replied Syahla briefly

"one more, don't call me ustadz, call Rayyan, excuse me." said Rayyan and left in front of Shahla

Syahla just stared at Rayyan's departure, it felt like there was lightning in broad daylight, when she heard Rayyan saying that she would crush someone.

" O God, why it hurts so much, I realize I'm hurt because of my own race." Shahla then passed into the hall
