These are a few words of encouragement that came out of my wife when I was at my lowest point and on the brink of bankruptcy.
It's dark.... really dark.
Sadness, anxiety, and despair had enveloped my life, as if this was the end of my struggle so far. Until in the end Allah brought an angel from heaven to strengthen me, convince me, and be with me, while undergoing this test.
Just 18 days after the wedding, we were put to the test with a truly shocking first. Bankruptcy, losses of up to billions, to insults and insults from the people involved in this case. No wonder, one month after we got married, we almost decided to separate. Not because we couldn't fight, but because of the pressure and pressure of those closest to us that made us to do it.
Fortunately, God brought him to always be with me. No matter how many insults he was accused of, it seemed as if they were the "culprit" of the bankruptcy of the business that I was running at that time. But I try to convince the people around me, that this is not because of his fault, but purely because of my stupidity & carelessness.
1 month passed... On that morning, my wife told me, "Mas, I am positive for pregnancy..."
Like other couples in general, of course this heart immediately expresses gratitude Thank you, God, because you left your child with us. Hopefully someday he will become a pious child who is devoted to his parents and obedient to his religion. aamiin...
But what happened? One of my close relatives said, “You know life is hard! It's even pregnant again. How is it...
My wife immediately shed tears because she could not stem the sadness of those words. I calmed down again
"You have to believe, the existence of this child, will be a source of sustenance for our family. Don't ever drop it. Raise our child and prove to the people around us that we can pass this test..."
I'm confused too. SMS, calls, chats, and mentions keep coming. Not to accept orders, but to collect debts while angry and threatening, Give me back my money! If you don't, I'll burn your house down."
"I want my money back. If not, I'll report you to the police!"
My money must be returned! If you don't, I will defame you on social media!"
In the end I could only give up..... really surrender.
and I had to commute to the police station for a week to deal with those who reported me.
I couldn't help but cry. Tears kept rolling down my cheeks every time I prayed.
"O Allah, O Lord... Give me strength so that I can pass this test with Your guidance..."
We had to sell the car. All savings are disbursed. We also have nothing left, except faith in Him that this test will surely be over.
God brings a friend who is always loyal to me, Mas Mirza G. Indralaksana.
"Sir, let's move now. We start from zero, even minus. We struggle together. We're just selling food."
I also asked, "Then who cooks, bro?" My wife immediately replied,
"It's okay. I'll just cook. Later in the morning at dawn I will go to the market. Then I will cook. In the afternoon, the two of you will take this food order to the customers. It's okay..." Oh God yes lord...
My wife was pregnant at the time. But maybe because God brought him to be with me, so whatever I do, he supports 100%
That's what we did for 9 months, selling food and selling anything I could sell. The food business closed after the birth of my child, Nabila Faza Saliha (that's why my wife's business was named Saliha Hijab)
The dark episode isn't over yet..
I have to find a cheap rented house to stay (because the previous lease ran out and the annual fee was expensive) I had to lift hundreds of meters of water to be able to bathe the child in clean water (because the well water was dirty). I had to put my child to bed on a thin floor mattress for months (because I didn't have a mattress)...
I have to go around Bandung on a motorbike while it rains to deliver orders (to get money for food) and many more
I can't imagine, if God didn't bring him into my life, maybe I would just be a god full of despair. Thank you my wife... Thank you my heavenly angel.

Hopefully whoever currently has a partner, may Allah bless you with goodness until you reach Jannah together. Amen...
This is the most beautiful story I have ever read. I was impressed by the story of my friend who found an angel from heaven in his life. I hope I can also be an angel of heaven in my husband's life.
