First Drop of Vienna Water Wudhu
Doubts of Old People

The afternoon sunlight illuminates the spacious garden in the Vienna house. The garden, long empty, now seems more alive as the long-withered leaves begin to recover. The birds chirped at the tree branches and colorful flowers bloomed all around. This cool and beautiful nature is only a silent witness to the great decisions to be taken in family gatherings.

Vienna sits in a spacious living room with a mixed feeling of restlessness and tranquility. In his hand, he held a piece of paper with a record of his spiritual journey. He heard footsteps outside the door and immediately felt his heart pounding even more. His mother and father entered the room with faces full of questions.

His father, a well-built and dignified man, dressed in a black suit with a red tie, looked at Vienna with serious eyes. Her mother, an elegant woman with a soft headscarf, looked worried. The two of them sat on a comfortable cream-colored sofa in front of Vienna.

Vienna swallowed his saliva and began to speak, "Thank you for coming. I know it might be a big surprise, but I feel the need to talk to both of you."

Viennese father nodded, "We listened, son. What do you want to say?"

Vienna felt a little relieved as her parents seemed to open themselves up to listening. He began to explain his spiritual journey, how he felt something was lacking in his life and how he found closeness to Allah through the teachings of Islam. He spoke passionately about the ablution water which first made him feel a change in himself.

His mother, who was usually calm, showed her puzzled expression, "But, son, what made you change so drastically? We always give you everything you need."

Vienna sighed deeply, "Mother, Father, I have lived in luxury, but I feel an inexplicable emptiness. I wanted to find a deeper meaning in my life, and I felt that I found it in Islam."

His father raised an eyebrow, "This is not about a religion we regret, son. Why is this change so sudden? Why haven't you talked to us before?"

Vienna tried to explain, "I feel scared and confused. I'm worried that the two of you won't understand, or even resist this change."

His mother put her hand in Vienna's hand, "We're just worried about you, son. We want the best for you."

They continued to talk about Vienna's spiritual journey, the teachings of Islam, and how she felt happier and at peace with her new life. The meeting was filled with emotion, with deep cries, laughter, and questions.

Vienna finally finished the story, "I want you to know that this is a positive change in my life. I want to draw closer to God and live a more meaningful life."

His father, who was initially tense, felt his heart become warmer. "We'll support you, son. But please, tell us how we can help."

Viennese mother also nodded, "We may need some time to fully understand, but we will try to support you."

They embrace Vienna in a close embrace, and the three of them feel a stronger family connection and deeper communication between them. This family gathering is the first step towards a major change in Vienna's life, and they together seek understanding and support for each other on this journey.

The living room that was previously illuminated by the sun is now starting to feel cool as the sun begins to sink in the western horizon. Vienna sits on the sofa between her father and mother, a tense feeling still haunting them. However, Vienna knew that the time had come to open her heart.

She held onto a piece of paper containing a note of her spiritual journey and began to speak carefully, "Mother, Dad, I want to talk about the changes that have taken place in my life."

Vienna's father nodded seriously, "We're listening, son."

His mother looked at Vienna with a mixed expression of curiosity and worry. Vienna felt the need to explain carefully, "Some time ago, I felt something was lacking in my life. Although we live in luxury, there is a feeling of emptiness that I cannot explain."

Vienna continued, "I decided to look for a deeper meaning in my life, and I found it in Islam. I began to learn about this religion, about prayer, about how to get closer to God."

His father, who was usually serious, showed a questionable expression. "But, son, what made you change so drastically? We always give you everything you need."

Vienna tries to explain honestly, "Dad, Mom, I know I always get everything I want, but I feel like something important in my life is missing. I wanted to find a deeper meaning, and Islam gave me an answer."

Vienna felt bad, "I'm afraid the two of you won't understand or even resist this change. So, I chose to undergo this change myself."

His father's eyes flashed, "It's not about a religion we regret, son. We're just worried about you."

Vienna continued, "I want you to know that this change is a positive change in my life. I feel happier, calmer, and closer to God."

His mother cried slowly, "We're just worried you're going to be too hard on yourself."

Vienna was relieved that she had spoken openly to her parents. They sat together in silence for a moment, pondering the words they had heard.

His father finally said softly, "We will support you, son. But please, tell us how we can help."

Viennese mother also nodded, "We may need some time to fully understand, but we will try to support you."

They embrace Vienna in a close embrace, and all three of them feel a sense of strength in honesty and open communication. Despite the uncertainty, the meeting is a significant step in supporting major changes in Vienna's life. They feel closer to each other on this new spiritual journey. The beautiful natural atmosphere around their home witnessed this pivotal moment, where families began to seek understanding and support from each other.

The day had changed for the night in the big house of the Viennese family. The light of small lights illuminated the quiet living room. Viennese father and mother sat on the opposite side of the coffee table, they looked at each other with anxious expressions on their faces. Conversations with Vienna earlier had shaken their faith, and they felt they did not know what to do next.

Viennese father gritted his teeth and said, "It's all so sudden, isn't it? I never expected that our son would experience such a huge change."

His mother took a deep breath, "I don't either, honey. And I feel anxious about all this."

They continued to look towards the door, waiting for Vienna who was in her room after an intense conversation this afternoon. The atmosphere in the family room felt quiet and tense.

Suddenly, the door of Vienna's room opened, and Vienna appeared with eyes still wet from tears. He sat in a chair in front of his parents and felt the need to explain further. "Dad, Mother, I want you to know that this is not to make you anxious. I'm just trying to find a deeper meaning in my life."

His father replied in a gentle tone, "We know you're trying to find meaning, son. But this change was so big and fast, it made us feel worried."

His mother added, "We are worried that you will be too hard on yourself. We want you to be happy, but we also want to protect you."

Vienna felt her heart filled with the worries of her parents. "I understand, Dad, Mom. I don't want to worry you either. It's a very personal journey for me, and I want to run it the right way."

His father nodded, "We support you, son. But we also need time to understand all of this."

His mother added softly, "We may need to learn more about Islam as well, in order to understand this change better."

Vienna was relieved to hear the support and understanding of her parents. He knows that this is a big change in his life and it will take time for all parties to adapt.

Just then, it started raining outside, and the sound of the gurgling rain became the background of their conversation. The cool, refreshing rain reminds them of the immortality of nature and how it is constantly changing. Like unexpected weather changes, changes in Viennese life are part of a human journey in search of meaning and purpose in his life.

That night, the Viennese family felt closer to each other despite the doubts. They know that the spiritual journey of Vienna is part of the search for his identity, and they are ready to support him, albeit carefully and slowly. The cool atmosphere of nature and the gentle rain outside are silent witnesses to the mixed feelings in their hearts, reflecting doubt and hope in the face of this change.
