Fadhil looked back at Zayn. "Are you sure of your choice?" Ask Fadhil.
Zayn nodded, "Bismillah, Zayn is convinced Pa. Zayn was already istikharah and found the answer."
"Zayn, you're all grown up and you're ripe for marriage, you also have a regular job and Papa is sure you can support your wife later properly, Papa supports it all." Fadhil paused his sentence then said again, "But Papa is a little hesitant with your choice."
Zayn and Ghea stared at each other in wonder.
"You mean, By?" Ask Ghea who wants to know the reason why Fadhil doubted Zayn's choice.
Fadhil sighed, "As we all know, Chelsea is a convert, we must support and help Chelsea's difficulties in understanding her beliefs now. What Papa doubts, can you be patient in guiding Chelsea to remain faithful in his belief now? What if one day Chelsea gave up and chose to return to her faith?" Fadhil said his heart.
Zayn was as calm as possible. "Zayn will help Chelsea to remain Istiqomah Pa. Shouldn't we try first and live life as best we can, Pa? Zayn believes that Chesea will remain Istiqomah and Zayn will guide Chelsea because later after marriage, Chelsea is Zayn's responsibility completely."
Fadhil tried to digest all of Zayn's words and saw Zayn's earnestness.
"Alright, Papa agrees with your intentions."
Ghea sighed then rubbed her face slowly, "Alhamdulillah."
"Pa, can Davan get permission to speak?" Davan Sahut.
"Speak, Dav. What's up?" Ask Fadhil.
Davan looked at Zayn. "Do Chelsea know and agree on this, brother?" Ask Davan.
"Not yet, Brother will go straight to Papi Tristan to ask Chelsea directly." Answer Zayn.
Davan scrunched his forehead, "What if Chelsea disagreed and rejected Brother? I see Chelsea's already starting to forget Brother." Davan.
"How do you know if you haven't tried?" Zayn said again.
Davan stood up and looked at Zayn, "Sister, Chelsea is my best friend, I don't like the attitude of the big brother who plan and pull out with Chelsea."
"Davan, sit. Be polite when talking to people older than you." Fadhil.
Davan sat down but his eyes were still staring at Zayn's face.
"So I'd go after Chelsea if Chelsea had given up." Zayn answered his sister.
"No love is too late, Dav. If Chelsea do not accept Zayn, it's a sign they are not a match, not because it's too late, and Mama hope whatever Chelsea's decision later, Zayn can accept it." Say Ghea wisely.
"Zayn just needs Papa and Mama's blessing." Zayn.
"Papa and Mama bless Zayn, may all be made easier." Answer the Ghea in Aamiini by Fadhil, Zayn and Davan.
The next day, facing the weekend, Zayn came to Tristan's house alone. While Ghea, Fadhil and Davan visit their parents' house.
Zayn was only walking, because the distance of their house was just across. Ghea still occupies Erick's house according to Erick's request because Erick wants to follow Diana who still wants to live in the house of Grandpa Dewantara's legacy. Similarly, Tristan who still occupies Monica's house because Monica and Daniel prefer to live in an apartment spending his old age together with more privacy.
Security guard Tristan opened the gate when he saw Zayn.
"Thank you, sir." Said Zayn who was embraced with a smile by security.
"Battle Tristan there sir?" Ask Zayn.
"She, Den. Come in. Let me call Auntie to open the door."
Zayn came in, and sure enough, Auntie opened the door and invited Zayn to come in.
"Bi, please call Chelsea too." Zayn said courteously.
Geck.. Geck.. Geck.
Aunt knocked on Chelsea's room door.
"Lake in." Answer Chelsea.
Ceklek..
"Non, there's a guest."
Chelsea looked over, "Who is Bi? I am no longer waiting for guests."
"Anu Non, Mas Zayn's son Ghea's mother in front of the house."
Chelsea's aghast, "Sir Zayn?" The reassuring question that Auntie was embracing.
"Yes Non, Mas Zayn would like to meet Non and Mr."
"Meet papi too?" Chelsea was astonished.
"Yes Non. Sorry Non, excuse me, please let me know first Mr. Yes."
Tristan went into Chelsea's room.
"What's wrong? Want to tell me what Bi?" Tristan asked who happened to hear.
"Sorry sir, under Mas Zayn would like to meet with Mr and Non Chelsea." Reply Aunty.
Tristan looked at Chelsea as if he wanted to ask while Chelsea shook her head slowly.
"Yes already, Bi. Please call Mom in her study. Tell me to come down." Tristan.
Zayn stood up as he looked at Tristan and kissed the back of his hand as a sign of respect.
"Zayn, he said he wanted to see Papi and Chelsea. What's up?" Tanya Tristan who now sits with Chelsea.
Jessi followed along and sat down on the single sofa.
"Yes Pi, Mi. Sorry in advance if Zayn's arrival didn't let me know." Zayn.
Zayn sighed for a moment, whispered in his heart then looked at Chelsea's face, then looked at Tristan's face.
"Zayn came here, emboldened himself, to propose to Chelsea, to ask Papi and Mami directly to Chelsea." Zayn said that surprised Chelsea, Tristan and Jessi.
"Sir Zayn, this isn't funny. Don't joke." Chelsea said.
Zayn looked at Chelsea's face. "Sorry Sea, I'm sorry if you didn't talk about this before. But Brother indeed has no intention to date, if Brother is sure then Brother will come to propose directly like this." Answer Zayn.
"Zayn, Mami was very surprised by this. What made you dare to propose to Chelsea? Do you love Chelsea?" Ask Jessi.
Zayn responded, "Zayn sure loves Chelsea, Mi. And Zayn promised to look after Chelsea, love and protect Chelsea." Answer Zayn steady.
"Sister Zayn.." Lirih Chelsea's.
Zayn smiled. "Hopefully it is not too late to be your priest, Sea."
Echidmm.
Tristan cleared his throat and made everyone look at Tristan.
"Where are your parents? why did you come to propose alone?" Ask Tristan.
"Sorry Pi, Mama and Papa are visiting Opa Latif then go to Grandpa Erick's house to tell Zayn's serious intentions to the extended family of Papa and Mama. If Zayn's proposal to Chelsea is accepted, God willing, as soon as Papa and Mama and the extended family come here to propose to Chelsea officially." Zayn explained.
"Do you not know each other?" Ask Jessi again.
"I'm sorry Zayn, Mi. Zayn feels he knows Chelsea and Zayn thinks Chelsea did too. Zayn doesn't want to date Chelsea."
Jessi looked at Tristan.
"Sister, we need to talk first." Chelsea Sahut.
Zayn smiled, "Sea, I know what you want to talk about. I'll explain in front of your parents." Zayn paused his sentence for a moment. "Nadira and I never had a relationship, from High School I was just friends Nadira, when we went to college together at Harvard, Nadira was in a relationship with Damian which means Nadira is Damian's lover." Zayn sighed, "When you heard my joke with Nadira about taking her to KUA, I meant that I would take Nadira to KUA to force Nadira to marry Damian immediately, because Damian had proposed to Nadira but Nadira was not ready to get married. That's the truth." Zayn explained.
"So, Sister Nadira is Kak Dami's lover?" Ask Chelsea.
Zayn nodded, "They've been dating for four years."
Chelsea fell silent, he recalled the incident while eating together also watched together, Nadira did look like a couple with Damian.
"Sister has never dated at all and there is no intention of dating, if Big Brother feels suitable, brother will come directly to both parents as it is today." Zayn said convincingly.
"Chel, how?" Tristan asked Chelsea.
"Yes Chel, what's your answer?" Jessi was impatient.
"Didn't Brother just think of me as a sister?" Ask Chelsea.
Zayn smiled, "At first yes, and as you say, God is all-reversing the hearts of men, it turns out that God anchored the hearts of Brother to you, Sea."
"Sea, the right person does not come at the right time, sometimes you have to separate first and then meet again after a long time, and that's where the right time is." Tristan sage.
"Fire..." Lirih Chelsea's.
"But you know your doubts Chel, Papi knows you've liked Zayn from a teenager, and Papi knows all your sorrows to let Zayn go. Chel, Papi really believes that Zayn can take care of you after Papi."
Chelsea looked at Jessi who was looking at her with a sad look.
"Mommy..." Lirih Chelsea's.
Jessi nodded, "Mommy is happy if you're happy, don't feel forced. Mami wants you to be really happy, Chel."
Tristan hugged Chelsea, but his eyes looked at Zayn's face.
"Zayn, if one day you don't love Chelsea, give Chelsea back to me, don't you ever hurt her. Papi wouldn't want your hand to hurt Chelsea."
Zayn nodded. "Zayn will look after and love Chelsea, Pi."
Zayn looked at Chelsea, "Sea, what's your answer? do you accept Brother? Are you ready to marry Big Brother and build a household with Brother?" Ask Zayn.
Chelsea changed her seat firmly, "Bismillah, Chelsea accepted Brother's proposal."
Zayn sighed then rubbed his face, "Alhamdulillah." Mumbled.
