HE'S MY SOUL MATE
FAIHA FIRMNESS

Like being struck by lightning when the weather is sunny and good, that is what is happening to Abi Aasim.

Abi Aasim can forget his promise first with Abi Ghifar, who wants to match Faiha with Uzair, when they are already on big.

Uzair himself did not know about Abi's agreement with Abi Aasim.

But a few days ago, more precisely one week before a visit to the Abi Aasim Foundation, Abi Ghifar had tried to talk to Uzair and his wife, about his deal with Abi Aasim.

Uzair was initially surprised, but he did not refuse, because he had guessed since adolescence, if his soul mate would be chosen by the Abi.

So Uzair tried to accept the woman who was the choice of Abi Ghifar for him.

Because Uzair was sure, whoever the woman would be his wife, she must be of good family descent and deserved to accompany him, who as the son of a famous Kyai and also famous in his city.

Moreover, Uzair had now seen for himself, how Faiha's face was prettier than the last time he had seen her in her childhood.

Makes there a sense of fit in the heart for Faiha, and Uzair steadily accepts the match that Abi made to him.

If Uzair had accepted the match, but not with Faiha, for her heart had been tethered to a mature man who had made her tremble and flowery since yesterday.

" Em, deal?? ",, Abi Aasim told Abi Ghifar.

" Yes, don't tell me if you forgot our agreement Aasim" Abi Ghifar replied to Abi Aasim.

" Eh, no, of course I didn't forget it ", Abi Aasim replied with a slight stiffening.

" When are we going to agree to betroth them both Aasim?? ",, Abi Ghifar asked Abi Aasim.

" We can talk about Ghifar later, after all you will still be here long" replied Abi Aasim trying to buy time.

" But if to discuss the date or wedding plans, do not have to wait for Aasim tomorrow", Abi Ghifar told Abi Aasim.

Umi Anum could only remain silent, because she did not know what to say to Abi Aasim or to Abi Ghifar.

But not with Faiha, because he could not stand the attitude of Abi Aasim, who from yesterday had disappointed him, plus now more disappointing.

Faiha finally tried to interrupt the conversation of the parents.

And Abi Aasim did not answer, Faiha spoke first.

" I'm sorry before ", Faiha said to everyone.

Everyone who was there, just turned their eyes towards Faiha including Abi Aasim.

" I object to this matchmaking" Faiha said to everyone.

Everyone immediately felt very surprised, but not for Abi Aasim and Umi Anum, because they had already found out, what makes Faiha object to the matchmaking.

" Why do you mind, son, can you explain to me, please,?? I am also Abi you ", Abi Ghifar asked Faiha.

" Because I have received a proposal from another man Abi, and I also love the man very much" Faiha replied very steadily.

The thin smile that daritadi seen on Uzair's face, instantly vanished when he heard the girl who would be betrothed to him, had chosen another man besides himself.

Abi Ghifar was shocked to hear Faiha's reply, and he immediately turned his gaze towards Abi Aasim.

" Ghifar all this I can explain ", Abi Aasim told Abi Ghifar who was staring at him.

" Are you not the one who wanted to match Faiha with Uzair, why is it now like this?? ",, Abi Ghifar asked Abi Aasim.

The tense atmosphere instantly changed, when they all suddenly heard the sound of the adhan maghrib reverberating from inside the mosque.

" Already maghrib it turns out, it is better that we perform maghrib prayer first, come Ghifar, everything ", Abi Aasim said to everyone.

" Well, ", Abi Ghifar replied to Abi Aasim.

" Let me show you a room for all of you to rest" Abi Aasim said again to everyone.

Abi Ghifar's family just nodded to Abi Aasim, and they all walked into the guest room they were going to occupy.

Finishing the prayer, Faiha recited, prayed and became worthy of Allah, because she did not expect the path of love would be so winding as it is today.

Never loved a man in her entire life, once Faiha loved the opposite sex, there were so many obstacles she had to face.

Tired, just a few days Faiha was tired of facing all those obstacles alone.

Faiha wants to give up, but she is still convinced that if Rain comes home with her sister, she will help him face all the obstacles that are currently facing their love.

Abi Ghifar, Abi Aasim and Uzair who had prayed Maghrib in the mosque, they all immediately returned to the pendopo owned by Abi Aasim.

" It is better that we discuss it later, Ghifar, after finishing dinner", Abi Aasim told Abi Ghifar.

" Well, ", Abi Ghifar replied to Abi Aasim.

The atmosphere of this dinner for Faiha made her a little uncomfortable, as she was like among strangers in her life.

Only Umi Anum was there, which made Taiha survive and not leave the dining table.

After enjoying dinner, everyone immediately gathered again in the family room of Abi Aasim's house.

" Now that we are all gathered together, can you explain to me Aasim about the words from Faiha earlier?? ",, Abi Ghifar told Abi Aasim.

" I don't know what to talk about Ghifar, because I myself am confused" Abi Aasim replied to Abi Ghifar.

" Why should Aasim bewildered, we should marry the two of them, and the business will be finished" Abi Ghifar replied to Abi Aasim.

" What about the man who proposed to Faiha Abi, are we not too guilty?? ",, finally Uzair spoke up as well.

" Thou who first obtained Faiha Uzair, not that man, that man came when you were strengthening your faith to guide Faiha" Abi Ghifar replied to Uzair.

" I'm sorry Abi Ghifar", Faiha said interrupting Abi Ghifar's talks.

" Faiha will still choose Abi, because from the beginning Faiha did not love Uzair and did not know the deal Abi made ",, faiha said again to Abi Ghifar and still heard by everyone.

" Where is the man you love Faiha,?? tell him to come here right now, because Abi wants to see him ", Abi Ghifar told Faiha.

" He's out of Abi's country, there's business that Faiha can't explain", Faiha told Abi Ghifar.

" And as for Abi", Faiha turned her gaze towards Abi Aasim.

" Abi has disappointed Faiha very deeply, Abi hurt Faiha, Abi made a decision without telling Faiha first", Faiha said with tears in her eyes.

Umi Anum was reflexive until she shed her tears, when she heard the confession from Faiha with her tears as well.

" Abi is not God who determines one's soul mate, and Abi is not also God who must always follow Faiha, so forgive Faiha for this time Abi, Faiha will not obey Abi, Faiha will not obey Abi, since Fai already had his own choice ", Faiha continued to say to Abi Aasim.

" Let it be said Faiha is an ungodly child, but here Faiha is only fighting for what Faiha should be trying to fight, because the one who will undergo the household heresy is not Abi but Faiha", because ",, faiha said again to Abi Aasim and still heard by everyone.

Abi Aasim could only remain silent, he did not know what to answer to Faiha.

" I'm sorry Fai Abi Ghifar, Fai can't continue this matchmaking, because Fai's heart already has, excuse me", Faiha told Abi Ghifar.

And after that, Faiha immediately went outside from inside the house, heading to the house of the older brother, Iffah who was not far from the Abi Aasim Foundation.

Everyone after the departure from Faiha, could only look at each other with their respective thoughts.

" I'm sorry, I'm a little tired, allow me to rest first in the room" Uzair told everyone.

After that, Uzair immediately passed into the guest room in his place, then followed by Nura, Umi Salwa and Umi Anum.

Only Abi Ghifar and Abi Aasim were left in the family room.

And without much talking, Abi Ghifar immediately went to enter the same guest room as Umi Salwa, leaving Abi Aasim alone with all the thoughts that raged in his brain.
