First Meeting

"Any mother is not happy if you have to marry before your sister, whatever the reason a sister should not precede her sister to marry" mother's tears broke after she revealed everything that had stuck in her heart these few days.

Rafa's arrival a few days ago and conveying his intention to marry Maya makes mom moody. Father has repeatedly reminded mother not to show her anxiety in front of Maya, pity her if she must know that mother does not approve her lover's intention to immediately justify it.

Not without reason such a mother, she just does not want if her second child Rahma should be a talk of people because it is preceded married by her sister.

"Mom, Rahma is sincere if Maya already has a soul mate" Rahma tries to give understanding to the mother, but the mother insists on her stance. His belief is still too thick, if the daughter is preceded by marriage by her sister will be difficult to get a mate. I don't want that to happen to Rahma, her second child.

Naura Rahmania or called Rahma is the second of four children. His eldest brother Budiman Ahmad a man was married and lived far away because his work was there. He currently serves as a judge in one of the state courts in Sulawesi.

Rahma's sister, Rismaya Aulia, who is usually called Maya, is currently completing her studies in business management and is compiling a thesis. Waiting for the trial schedule with the target of two more months will follow graduation. Unlike her older sister, Maya is more sociable. The association is wider, no wonder if he already has a lover of a young businessman who a few days ago came to his house and said he would marry Maya after graduating from college.

Yusup El-Malik Rahma's youngest brother is currently in third grade High School and will continue his education in the same department as the eldest brother, law. Rahma herself is currently working as an honorary teacher at a Private High School. He is the only successor to his father who is a retired teacher.

Among the four brothers was only Rahma who took the school teacher, his gentle and wise upbringing is perfect for being a teacher and is strongly supported by his father because he thinks the right job for a woman if she wants a career is to be a teacher. In addition to being a profession, the competencies possessed by a teacher can be applied at home in educating children later.

Rahma took a long breath. The mother insisted she would not allow Maya to marry before she married. Rahma who left last than her sisters pamit. Today he had a teacher meeting at nine, the learning was deliberately closed. Rahma also went to the school where she taught by riding her favorite matic motorcycle.

Less than thirty minutes Rahma had reached the school grounds. He parked his bike in a special parking garage for educators. Take off the helmet and a little reflected in the rearview of the motorbike tidying up the slightly tangled hijab due to wearing a helmet.

Rahma sauntered towards the hall as her meeting place today. His steps came to a halt as his arm was held back by someone who was none other than Lisna, a fellow teacher who was quite close to him.

"Assalamu'alaikum" Rahma slightly raised the tone of her greeting, she was shocked because her arm was suddenly blocked by her best friend. Lisna just grinned, she knew her best friend was shocked because of her actions. Laughter finally came out of her lips.

"You're a habit, you like to ngaggetin people" said Rahma still with a tone of annoyance due to the actions of the art teacher.

" Hehe.sorry Ma Guru shantik, I intentionally" he said increasingly upset Rahma.

"Hisshh, basic" Rahma could only shake Lisna's shoulder which could not be laughed at.

The meeting began. The meeting agenda this time is quite a lot, in addition to preparation for the end of the year activities that become the routine agenda of the school as a grand agenda. Another agenda of the meeting this time is the introduction of the chairman of the new foundation that houses the school. As per the issue that has been circulating if the current owner of the foundation has handed over his leadership to his youngest son. A man unknown to many. His youngest son has just completed his doctoral studies abroad.

All gasped at the sight of someone who had come into the room especially the female teachers. How not, the one who entered was the one they were gossiping about. Apparently true, the fact proves that the successor to the leadership of the foundation is a young person with a million charms.

"Nawnaw, look....." Lisna pointed with her chin towards the young man who had just dropped his butt on the special chair that was specially reserved for her. Besides her co-worker Lisna is also her friend since High School, they attended the same university and the same study program is education and now they teach at the same school. Lisna even has a special call to her best friend, nawnaw which is short for Naura's first name Rahma.

Rahma had been lacquering with her smartphone since then she didn't even realize when the head of her new foundation entered the room that made some people, especially female teachers, fascinated. That's how Rahma, it's not easy to shift her focus if it's fixed on one point.

"Heumm" is just that word coming out of Rahma's mouth, she just glances at it then goes back to finishing her project on her smartphone, reading Ar-Rahman's letter.

"Ishhhh" Lisna hissed, she knew her best friend was not easily attracted to such things, let alone this concerning the opposite sex.

Rahma is a typical woman who is not easily attracted to the opposite sex, even it is very difficult for her to fall in love especially at first sight, really not her habit. Unlike her who is always eager to make friends with anyone, both are single but Lisna is more aggressive in determining her future life partner. Prinsifnya one needs selection with a variety of candidates to get the right partner. However, he prefers to make friends to expand his friendship network.

In contrast to Rahma who actually never showed interest in the opposite sex, it is not unwilling that she only reluctantly had to anchor her heart to a man who is not halal for her. Strong, wanting to fall in love with her halal partner. Maybe that's what makes Rahma until now has not also got a companion.

Precisely with the sound of my appearance adzan dzuhur welcoming event chairman of the new foundation as well as the preparatory meeting at the end of the year was ended by the agreement that the routine activities at the end of the year will be held in two weeks, deliberately accelerated because ahead of the holiday educators and education personnel will follow comparative study activities to other schools outside the city that are still under the auspices of the same foundation.

Rahma who served in the event noted the important points presented by the chairman of his new foundation as a hope for the success of the grand event.

After prayers dzuhur Rahma and Lisna also some female teachers prepare to go to the dining room for food before resuming their activities. On the terrace of this magnificent mosque did not expect them to cross paths with the chairman of his new foundation. They stopped their steps and bowed respectfully to the young man who was only answered by a small nod as it passed.

They continued, but their steps came to a halt when they heard the name of one of them called.

"Naura Rahmania?" feeling her name called Rahma stopped her steps followed by Lisna and the other friends. They also simultaneously turned their bodies back face to face with the chairman of the new foundation.

"Yes, can you come to my room for a second? I wait now" without waiting for the answer from the person asked the man to pass by leaving the teachers who only gawked at the word of the new foundation chairman. Including Rahma who is still staring at the flat back of the person who just spoke to her.

"Naw, you're called tuh. Sana cepetan who knows to be proposed" lisna joked followed by the boisterous voice of other teachers who also teased her. Rahma simply flicked her lips in response to their snubbing.

"Assalamu'alaikum" Rahma said a greeting when she reached the foundation office. There were some management people who were chatting with the new foundation's chairman. Knowing the invited guests had come the chairman of the foundation also invited Rahma to sit, in the front seat of his desk. He also told the other manager to occupy his seat. Without the command of the board consisting of two men and three women were said to leave the room of the chairman of the foundation. They had a glance at Rahma who had been sitting comfortably, Rahma just threw a smile while slightly nodding her head when she looked at them.

"Sorry sir, how can I help you?" Rahma started the conversation, she started to feel uncomfortable having to be both in the room.

"Tama, call me Tama Naura. You really forgot me?" the man who claimed his name was also reminded if they had previously known each other. Rahma scrunched her forehead she even forgot what the name of the new foundation chairman was. At the time of the introduction Rahma was not focused. She recalled her mother's words that would not have approved her sister's marriage if she hadn't already been married.

"Dad you know me?" Rahma asked back, once again she remembered there was no clue.

"Kdk.." Tama turned her face away she was actually made intoxicated by the woman before her at the moment. Since school Tama is the most popular man because his good looks and intelligence are supported also with an appearance that is always classy because he comes from a family.

"Sorry" Rahma again lowered her gaze, "I completely forgot, sir" he continued,

Tok..tok.tok.tok sound of knocking on the door and immediately opened it, making two people who were silent to each other avert his eyes. A beautiful girl who was the caretaker of the foundation was standing in the doorway,

"Sorry sir, the administrators and invited guests are waiting for you to eat a meal together" the girl's instructions bring a fresh breeze to Rahma, without wanting to know the continuation of the story about her who knew each other with Tama, he stood up and walked out of the room.

"Please sir, your guests are waiting. Excuse me" he said immediately turned around and headed for the exit, for a moment he stopped when faced with the foundation's caretaker girl. Rahma nodded her head in a sign of respect and threw her friendly smile.

"Darkl...." Tama could only sigh and throw it away a little harshly. Not satisfied chatting with Rahma whom he called Naura. But he could not prevent the girl's departure.

Rahma walked towards the dining room, she circulated her gaze looking for Lisna and the other friends. After getting a wave of hands from Lisna he immediately went to the teacher's special parasmanan table which was separate from the parasmanan desk of the administrators and honorary guests of the foundation.

As Rahma was about to head to where Lisna and her friends were, she passed by Tama who was going to the VIP-only parachute table. Rahma nodded her head as a sign of respect.

"Today we hang out, right?" Lisna started talking when she saw Rahma start feeding her. He also replied with a nod of his head.

Today she was invited by Lisna to meet with her school friends during Junior High. There was a small reunion that he had arranged with his friends, mumpung school holiday because there was a welcoming meeting of the chairman of the new foundation and finished when dzuhur. They still have time to be outside the home.

Lisna plans to meet Rahma with a man who is her friend. Hoping this time Rahma is willing to make friends with the opposite sex more intense, she knows that currently her best friend is in turmoil if the guidance of her parents, especially her mother.

"Include me Anggara" a man of great stature was sitting in front of him. Lisna had arranged her blind date with a man she said was a police officer.

He reached out to shake hands with Rahma, but as usual Rahma only cupped her hands in front of her chest. It made Anggara smile back, pulling back his hand to understand the habits of the woman before him.

"I'm Rahma, I'm her friend Lisna" just that sentence came out of her mouth, then Rahma turned her eyes back to the other direction.

"According to information from Lisna, you're looking for a future husband, really?" the question that struck Rahma, she took a deep breath a little annoyed with her friend who was too open.

"True" kepalang, Rahma finally admitted it.

"I also happen to be looking for a wife. My family has demanded that I get married. Several times I brought my chosen woman but it was always rejected especially by my grandmother. Whether women like what they want" Anggara told me about her ending with a rarity.

"I hope we can continue this communication even more intensely" he continued expectantly.

"God willing, but I'm sorry I couldn't have a relationship that wasn't halal for too long. If ....." Rahma stopped her speech, confused as to what to call.

"It looks like I'm more senior than you, it would be nice if you call me Mas or anything that at least shows our age difference" Anggara explained, understanding why Rahma stopped her words.

"If Mas Anggara pleases, let's follow each other, I wait at home" Rahma finally finished her talk.
