(Flashback Part)

About love, if love like this why must be present. Can love not be realized and united for all cases? Like cases.

I pondered, in the backyard of the house under the tree asleep on the carpet looking up at the sky from between the leaves of the tree. "Alfy." I muttered.

What makes me so concerned about him. What am I supposed to do? Of course I've decided to give up on him. Several times I have insisted in me to know myself by my position. But.. Why is it so hard to hold fast to that decision?

I closed my eyes, I tried to reflect my thoughts through delusion and I described it as if I was with Alfy. Will he be happy? Then I compare when Alfy finds a man who's more worthy of her.

The conclusion of my hallucinatory results illustrates that Alfy will be happier with other men. Ja.. Maybe it's better. Once again I gave up, totally gave up. "Arm.. There's Ivan up ahead!" Shouted Mother.

"yes Ma, tell me to go back" I said.

Before long Ivan came close with a bright face.

"Van, what's wrong?"

"Arm.. This is important, Islam, man.islam" he said hastily.

"islamic? Mean you?"

"i want to convert to Islam."

I was surprised to hear the hasty darkening of his mouth. "Huh? It's not your fault?"

"yes. I'm serious, how do I do it?"

"uh uh? Van you're not sick, are you?" many wonder.

"i'm healthy. Please tell me how?"

"yes, yes, but wait a minute. How come all of a sudden?"

"the long story Man. So what do I have to do to convert to Islam."

"that's doang? Don't have to pay or what?"

"yes it is doang, but Ivan.."

"ok Man, so what about the word sahadat?"

"just Ivan, you know?" I said firmly.

Quietly Ivan began to explain his intention and goal of saying he wanted to convert to Islam.

The story started a week ago, when I met him accidentally in one of the malls. He met the woman he had met on campus. A woman who makes him curious and wants to be acquainted with him.

At one restaurant in the mall, Ivan ventured to approach the woman. He called him acquaintance and there was a conversation between them. Although at first the woman looks uncomfortable and like disturbed by the presence of Ivan.

But Ivan was straight with the woman. Yes, Ivan immediately stated that he liked it. Of course next can be guessed, Ivan was immediately told to leave because he was considered a bully.

But once again he was persistent and explained his intention to make friends. After that the girl friend explained to Ivan that if he really likes to apply directly.

While the woman seemed to avoid the words of her friend who might be joking. But in fact Ivan did not know what he was thinking immediately agree with the words of his friend. That left the two women in front of Ivan unable to say anything.

Until the end the woman asked about Ivan's religion. When Ivan knew that the woman was a Christian, he immediately explained that he would never be able to marry a man of a different religion because in Islam it was forbidden.

But again Ivan gave an answer that confused the two women. Ivan said he would convert to Islam if needed. Finally, the woman explained again that it was not appropriate for Ivan to convert to Islam because of him or because of others. Islam was the true religion by which the woman said again that if Ivan really wanted to convert to Islam then he had to learn about the religion of Islam.

Because in Islam, men will become family imams. Of course, you need the right religious understanding to be married. Yes, Ivan was attracted to Islam for the first time because of the women he met.

I don't know why it's so short to think just because I met a woman who interested him. Is that guidance? Maybe yes, maybe not.

I saw his cleft face for the first time after Ivan broke up with his girlfriend. I wondered what kind of woman he met to make him like this.
