Pledge of Love Ustadz Irsyad
decision by Aida.

The same day, someone knocked on Aida's door.

"Assalamu'alaikum, sorry mbak, I ojol food." A man from outside.

"Before a while..." Aida exclaimed from inside, and the door opened.

A man in a green jacket was shocked, as the woman was sitting dragging her body on the floor.

He also crouched.

"This is, as usual, the order of Rahma's mother, for Aida" he said, handing over food.

"Thank you very much" replied Aida.

'Today I did not see this woman hijab as usual' the inner Ojol mas. Seen once his face was really sad, like he was holding sorrow in his heart. Even from her puffy eyes it looks like this woman after crying.

For the past few weeks this man named Ulum always received food orders from Rahma, three times a day, that also made Rahma make the ojol as a subscription.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to know about mbak's business, but what? do you live here alone?" ask Ulum. Aida raised her head and nodded slowly.

'Oh Allah, under these conditions?' inner Ulum.

"Sorry, Aida? Are there no relatives like that?" tanya Ulum who was crouching in front of Aida with a distance of almost one meter.

"My brother is far away, in Sumatra, before this I lived in Magelang district with my grandfather." replied Aida flatly.

"That's it, then? Rahma's sister, brother too?" tanyakanya.

Aida was silent.

"I'm sorry, I'm not how. It's just I feel?"

"He's just an acquaintance" Cut Aida.

"her husband was my grandfather's adopted grandson, and since there were only them here so I depended on them" he said. Ulum also understood it was fitting that he did not live at home with the woman named Rahma.

"I'm sorry, so I asked a lot, my name is Fathul Qhulum. People used to call me Ulum." he said,

"I'm Aida" Aida said briefly. Ulum smile.

Tiiiiii... Ulum turned his head down and reached into his pocket to pull out his phone and check it.

"I'm sorry, there's another order, I'm sorry. Take care of yourself" he said. Ulum went up and walked away.

In between his steps Ulum thought for a moment, after so many days or even weeks of sending food to him only today he was finally able to chat with the woman. I don't know maybe because he wants to be professional, the goal will only be to send orders and leave after the order gets to the order address. But for this time, the condition of the woman was more concerning, so it made her a little pity and wanted to invite her to a short chat. Ulum shook his head slowly he got on his bike and left.

Hit him midday...

Irsyad's car pulled over on the edge of the alley.

Irsyad was silent for a moment.

"Why?" asked Rahma who saw Irsyad never open her safety belt.

"It's Mas if you come here again, actually so remember the mistake mas." said Irsyad. Rahma touched Irsyad's hand and squeezed her slowly.

"Have not been thought of again mas, which is definitely the purpose of the mas here want to straighten everything out" said Rahma who actually, he was not ready to meet Aida again. "Let's go down mas." take Rahma. Irsyad also nodded.

"Bismillah." murmured Irsyad lirih.

Inside the alley Rahma and Irsyad cross paths with Bu Tuminah.

"Assalamu'alaikum mas Ustadz, mbak Rahma." said Bu Tuminah.

"Walaikumsalam bu Tum. Out of Aida's house, right?" ask Rahma.

"Well, why mom?" ask Irsyad.

"Yes, my son has just given birth so, I have to help take care of the baby" Tum explained.

"but why didn't you tell us?" ask Rahma.

"I tried to call but your number is off, I think Aida told me." he said.

"no, Aida never told Tum that she was not helping him" Rahma replied.

"That means there's no substitute for me?" ask Bu Tum who feels bad.

"Astaghfirullahalazim." murmured Irsyad.

"Yes, then we'll excuse you ma'am" said Rahma who then sauntered first

"assalamu'alaikum bu Tum," said Irsyad who also immediately followed Rahma who had walked quickly in front of him.

"Walaikumsalam, Allah, so this is not good." mumbling Bu Tum while shaking his head.

In front of the contract, Rahma pegged when she saw Aida without a hijab with hair that was neatly severed was sitting dreamy. He approached her immediately.

"Assalamu'alaikum Aida" said Rahma who had crouched before him.

Aida looked at Rahma.

"Walaikumsalam mbak Rahma" he said with a smile.

Irsyad looked at Aida with concern, really he did not know what to do.

"Why is Aida outside, not wearing a hijab anyway." asked Rahma.

"Aida doesn't want to go in the hijab anymore" she said softly, the corner of her eyes getting wet.

"Why?" ask Rahma, please,

"Aida just doesn't deserve to wear this hijab anymore" she said.

"Aida, the hijab must be worn by all women, want him bad or good, so there is no inappropriate word" said Irsyad.

Aida turned to Irsyad.

"New bags coming today?" ask Aida.

"Yes deck" replied Irsyad. "Sorry mas just recovered from his illness, therefore mas just got here. To say something to you." Further. Aida sighed for a moment.

"Was Aida able to accept that answer now?" aida asked, Rahma was pensive, she waited for Irsyad's response, to say all his decisions.

"Mas, have you thought about everything carefully, and it looks like a mas?"

"Aida wanted me to cancel the plan that would marry me." cut her off. Rahma turned towards Aida by frowning. "Aida was conscious, and ashamed, because there was so much you gave me, but I hurt you, and especially Rahma." aida said as she turned to Rahma and began to shed her tears.

"Honestly, Aida could not lie, if Aida put her heart on Irsyad. And very envious of Rahma. But when Aida talks like that and Irsyad mass says will support Aida's desire to marry me? not the happiness I feel, but I always think, if I'm evil, to a woman who has been very good to me." she said, Rahma smiled.

"Bak Rahma?" Aida held Rahma's hand. "Please forgive me, please don't hate myself. Hiks." he said, Rahma also hugged Aida, with haru's cry that also came out.

"Mbak never hated you Aida, mbak was indeed disappointed because of that, could not curse you or mass Irsyad, but? Not that I can hate you Aida. You're like my sister. Really, even though I still like to be jealous. But I love you so much Aida." said Rahma. Aida smiled too.

"Thank you Rahma, thank you very much" he said who was still in Rahma's arms.

Irsyad rubbed the corners of his eyes slightly wet, he was relieved, even very relieved. Though he had worried that Aida would really sue to marry him.

But apparently not, Aida canceled it all before she explained at length with him.
