Today I sit on the park benh behind my house with my husband and my son. I feel the wind that hits me like wind five years ago, when my husband and I met. At that time I was in Spanyol for travelling and visited my friend, to capitalize the amount of money, google maps in my phone, and Spanish-speaking expertise for visited the place in Spanyol. I visited the Cathedral of Cordoba. In the Cathedral, I met a tour guide. He told al the history of this cathedral. He asked my aim to come here.
"Sorry, what's your name?" He asked.
"I'm Rahma, How about you?" I answered.
"Franchest. why do you come here?" He asked
"I come here for knowing the Islamic Revival" I answered. His reaction was so weird but I ignored him.
In the last session he said "Nice to meet you! will you explore the Cordoba and visit any place with me?"
"Okay" I replied.
When he lend his hand, I'm not replied but I said "Assalamualaikum". The next day, we met in the same place like yesterday and went to a place. He invited me to come to Cristo de La Luz mosque in Toledo. In that place we talked about it history. When adzan dzuhur sounded, Franchest and I went to the mosque for did dzhur pray but he didn't follow me to enter the mosque.
"I'll be waiting at the outside" He said.
Then, after did the Dzuhur pray I asked to him.
"Why don't you pray?"
"My religion is not Islam"
"What's your religion?"
"My religion is not Islam!"
I was shocked, I thought he was a moslem because during that time he could tell the detail history of Islam. In spite of it, we went to have a lunch. I brought a lunch box from my home. When we had a lunch he asked
"Why don't you shake my hand when we met yesterday?"
"We aren't a muhrim" I answered.
"What is muhrim?"
"Muhrim is a situation were a man and a women were allowed to touch and be bound by marriage" I explained.
He was fascinated by my explanation.
"Does your religion like that?" I asked.
"No, I have no religion" He answered.
After had a lunch, we went to home while continued the conversation
"Why you have no religion?" I asked curiously.
"Because God was not good to me. Whereas people said that Good is good and fair" He said
.
"God only gave trials to the beloved. Don't give up because God has given the sign to you for finish it"
After the incident we split up and never meet again. A week later, I intended to return to Indonesia. Suddenly, my friend come to my room.
"Rahma! Anyone looking for you! Franchest!" My friend said. So I ran to the door and saw Franchest with his big backpack.
"Why are you in here? why do you know I'm in here?" I asked
"I follow you 'till you arrived at home. Rahma! today you will be a witness let me be a moslem and enter Islam. It's not because of you. This is because now I know that Islam is the best and holy religion. If you allow, I will repay it with all my love for you."
"No. Please, love me because of Allah, not because of lust"
After that in my friend's mosque he said two of syahadat sentences and he told that he wanted to live in Indonesia and proposed me.
"Yes, I want" I said.
In my thought, I realized that I had become an intermediary for God to guide my husband to the most blessed way of God.
"Sorry, what's your name?" He asked.
"I'm Rahma, How about you?" I answered.
"Franchest. why do you come here?" He asked
