Rainbow for Aqila
The Tasbih and Rosario

"Will you take care of Fadila and guide her?" Naufal flinched, unconsciously he immediately took off Kyai Uthman's hand

"Abi" Fadila shook her head, asking Kyai Uthman not to continue

"I'm sorry, mr. Kyai, but I know I'm engaged to Aqila" Fadila looked down, honestly from the time he liked Naufal, but the man only considered him the son of his father's friend

"Naufal, it's been five years, and the girl can't even remember you? When do you want to wait?"

"Until he remembers me" Naufal replied steadily

"What if he's there already in love with someone? What are you gonna do?" Naufal paused for a moment and took a deep breath

"It is your possibility and it is not certain to happen" Naufal replied as he was

"After all, why should I? There must be a lot of men out there who want to marry a woman like Fadila"

"I don't believe them"

"Then how can Pak Kyai trust me? livestock student at my appointment"

"Because I saw it from your eyes"

"Naufal, please fulfill this request before I leave" Naufal shook his head, in fact he could not bear to see Kyai Uthman with such a gaze, but his heart could not bear to leave Aqila whom he had promised

"I've fallen in love with Aqila Pak Kyai, sorry I can't grant that request"

"Remember, the heart is not yours but God's, God could have turned the heart of man back, it could have been present as time went on" Naufal still shook his head, his heart completely unable

"It was you when you were married, did you ever think about love?"

"I am not Rasullullah, I am Naufal Pradana Al-Ghazali, a sinful ordinary man" Naufal said

"I go first, Assalamu'alaikum" Naufal's heart ached to hear it, it was up to them to think he was such a labile man, but his heart really could not be forced into this

.

"Ren, he said, Aqila immediately came home" Renata who was painting on his canvas stopped hearing Gempano said, the relationship of the two people is now increasingly planning to get married soon. Gempano still runs a growing business with Naufal, Panil and Vian, while Renata works at one of the most famous art galleries

"I don't want to hope any more, a few times I hope and only a sense of disappointment that I get" Renata replied

"It seems like this time it was serious, Regan who told me, she was told by Kirana who is currently with Aqila"

"I really hope if it's real" Renata replied back to continue the painting

"But Regan advised not to tell Naufal first, let this be a surprise for him" said Gempano

"I hope this time it's real, I want Aqila to be present at our wedding"

.

The morning weather was illuminated by bright sunlight, the wind was so soothing, as well as the scenery that exists today where many people communicate with their hands and body language, it looks beautiful because it appreciates the favor of the creator

"Reyna, do you have a boyfriend?" the sudden question from her sister made Reyna almost choke on the ice cream she was eating, the two of them sat in the garden chair with a view that could not be separated from Yusuf and Kirana who played chases because Kirana's hair was plastered with used gum Joseph

"Mmm there" he replied shyly. Reyna who is now completely different from the memory of Aqila, her sister looks more independent not as perjana as before

"Who?" aqila asked while scooping the ice cream into her mouth

"Kak Naufal's theme" Aqila's movement to eat ice cream stopped, while Reyna covered her mouth when she realized she was slipping

"Nauphal? She who? Like a stranger" Aqila's brain tried to remember the name, only to look blurry, it just hurt more and more

"Don't be forced sister, slowly you must remember"

"Is he my friend?"

"It looks like it did"

"He's our senior, but your relationship is close"

"Near what?" Reyna hesitated to answer this question

"You guys have bert..."

"Valisha" Reynald approached them with a slight run

"Friend of big brother came, I followed Kak Kirana as Yusuf first" Aqila nodded despite feeling a little strange with his sister's attitude

"Can I talk to you for a second?"

"Are you running now? After all why ask for permission" Reynald slightly laughed and occupied an empty spot next to Aqila

"What did you want to say last night? Sorry I'm in a hurry to get home"

"It's okay, I get it, I just want to say..."

"What?"

"Either since when this started I don't know, but I started to feel different things when I was with you, perhaps that's what most people call love when a man likes a woman more than a friend"

"Do you like me?" tanya Aqila stammered

"Sorry this might be too sudden for you and you just think I'm a friend..."

"Richard"

"But I will try to make you..."

"Relys!" Aqila raised her voice slightly higher, as the normally calm man continued to talk nonstop

"Why? I understand you're not suing..."

"No, not that"

"That means you like me?" Aqila chuckled and shook her head

"Then what?"

"Aren't you aware of something?" aqila asked, Renald was silent for a moment

"Among us lies a great distance, a distance that we can never pass"

"You mean different countries? Different continents?" Aqila again shook her head and smiled slightly, why is that smart man suddenly so slow?

"More than that, we are separated from invisible distance that should not be passed" said Aqila

"What's that?"

Aqila reached into her pocket and took out a white tasbih, then her hand touched the cross necklace hanging from Reynald's neck

"You may forget that between prayer beads and rosaries it is impossible to be together, between a servant of God and a child of God cannot be put together" Aqila replied with a smile

Reynald flinched, he realized something and forgot about it, how could he see Aqila the same as himself? Though it was clear that the woman was hijab and kept her distance when they were together, Aqila was right that they were separated from long distances that could not be passed by different countries or different continents that spanned thousands of kilometers but different beliefs

"We can't be together because there is a God-binding rule within us, my god and your god are different"

"I'm sorry, I forgot the most important thing"

"Hey, why apologize? What are you wrong?"

"I'm sorry for falling in love with you" Aqila laughed a little at hearing that

"Love is not Reynald's fault, you don't have to apologize for that, we're both different and it's irreversible, don't let you do anything crazy by leaving your religion for my sake, I don't want you to do it if it's just for me" Aqila smiled
