Farlan Receives ... To Relocate... To Of All Places... The Tropical Paradise Of Hawaii...!

About four months... into their marriage... which was finally consummated... after three months... and most uncomfortably... on a burning hot... waterbed... heated from the rays... of the bright sun... streaming into the upstairs bedroom window... of their town house... during which time... Muftiah spent many days... ill in bed... Farlan was offered a job... to manage an old three storey house... which rooms were being rented out...

And Muftiah was greatly saddened... at the impending move... because she loved the town house... looking forward... to spending a lot of time... in the swimming pool... after her marriage purification... was over... and before the end of the summer...!

But then... but a few months later... with Farlan managing the old house... and attending to its repairs... and with them... living there rent free... he suddenly Received... one day... to the great joy of Muftiah... the Command... that they were to move to Hawaii...!

And Muftiah marveled... at how Luzila's prediction... was coming true...!

They lived there... for about eighteen months... first being Allowed... a very brief... blissful... belated honeymoon... with no fighting... or arguing... quickly followed... by intense... heavy purification... surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery...!

Never wanting to presume... that she was any different... from her fellow SUBUD Sisters... Muftiah naturally went to Latihan... in her new SUBUD Group... in Hilo... but quickly learned... that Allah's Isolation Order... was still in effect...!

She even became violently ill... when she attended... what she considered to be... an innocent Committee Meeting... one Sunday afternoon... at the lovely home... of dear Rodjana and Rozak Bisel - may his soul glory... in the Paradise... of his Afterlife - later on... where no Latihan... had been scheduled...!

Learning the hard way... that when Allah Meant To Isolate her... from her fellow SUBUD Brothers and Sisters... it did not mean... just from doing the Latihan with them... but that "No More SUBUD Groups"... which was always the Reply... whenever she asked... whether she could return... to a SUBUD Group... meant in all aspects... of her association with SUBUD Members... en masse...!

She was only Allowed... a little socializing... with one or two... certain lady Helpers... at a time... and only when Allah... Gave Her The Go-ahead To...!

And while they lived in Hawaii... they "moved around a lot"... as Bapak had suggested... to his faithful SUBUD daughter... that she should do... for beneficial Spiritual purposes... changing apartments... in Hilo... then Farlan Receiving to relocate... to the coastal... resort town of Kona...

Actually... as soon as they arrived in Hilo... Hawaii... Farlan had Received... the single word "Kona"... and with the understanding... that it was the name brand... of Hawaii's famous coffee... he did not realize... that he was Receiving Guidance... to move there... right away...!

Besides... there was the fact... that there was no SUBUD Group... in Kona... only in Hawaii... and Honolulu... and he felt it was wrong for himself... to be isolated... from his fellow SUBUD Brothers...!

But Muftiah wondered... about "Kona"... as soon as she found out... that it was a resort coastal town... way on the other side... of the Big Island...!

And also due to the strange delay... of their airplane... they had arrived a day late... missing the entourage... of Hawaii's SUBUD Brothers and Sisters... who had all come... to the Hilo Airport... to warmly welcome them...!

In subsequent Chapters... the Allah Guided lives... of Farlan and Muftiah... in Hawaii... are far more detailed...
