And for the first time, Sean's return to Jogja this time, not delivered by Dilla. Dilla rejects him when Sean asks him to deliver to the station as usual. Dilla only suggested that Sean be ushered in by Slamet alone. Sean was trying to understand not to push and discuss it further, maybe better to give up than he had to lose Dilla.

Since Sean's return to Jogja, Dilla has increasingly diligently followed the study with Dhera to the mosque they used to go to. Ammy and Beno if invited to follow the study always refuse with their own reasons. Dilla and Dhera are not willing to force.
Reza and Wulan every weekend they took to Bandung following the study of Masjid Youth at the mosque. Likewise with Fathan once a month when he returned to Bandung always took the time to follow the study with Dilla and Dhera.
Now Dilla and her friends are students of Dilla and Dhera is at the Faculty of Economics in the city of Bandung, because they have the same dream of becoming a financial and auditing expert and have aspirations to become a career woman and have their own business.
Ammy and Beno are in the same University but different faculties, they chose the communication faculty because they both love the world of broadcasting and aspire to be a broadcaster even want to have their own radio or television company.
Wulan, Ghania and Reza study in Jakarta, they are also students at the same campus but each different majors. Reza, who aspires to become a doctor, is now a medical student, Ghania who is eager to become a diplomatic official and the ambassador is now in the Department of International Relations, while Wulan was passionate about pharmaceuticals and medicine, she aspired to become a pharmacist.
Sandra studied in Padang city, she was a law student at the best university there, her dream was to become a lawyer she did not want to be a judge like her father, she said, because his residence became not necessarily like him who had to move schools to follow where his father was assigned.
Ruli had already flown to London, where she attended the Faculty of Business and Management at London Business School, UK. In addition to his father suggesting he also liked the field, he wanted to make the company pioneered by his father become even bigger when he returned.
While Fathan according to his plan who really likes the field of chemistry, following in the footsteps of his sister Mina and of course was in the same department as Sean.
After becoming students, now they are increasingly rarely communicating because faced with their respective activities. It is very difficult to find time to get together again like before.
Maybe if they are in the same city is not a difficult thing, but because they are in a different city that is what makes them difficult to return to the way they used to be. Only by holding back the longing to gather with his friends can they do.
Dilla and Dhera, not only became students who were just preoccupied with the lecture material, they both chose to be active in religious activities at the campus.
They seem to have just gained enlightenment to be able to live better, they have long been hijab from since they were in High School, they compact using the clothes, they are, but they realized that they were very lay and very poor with the religious knowledge that should be a lifeline for them.
Although they are still free to come into contact with the opposite sex, considering courtship is common, now they know that it is a mistake that violates the teachings of their religion.
It is not too late, Dilla and Dhera also diligently follow various studies, to continue to try to improve themselves both on campus in the form of mentoring or in mosques to just listen to tausiyah, he said, so that their time is spent to continue to explore knowledge by attending various studies.
Sean also kept his promise, he only asked the news through a short message, which Dilla replied as if. Dilla tried to keep her heart from getting too carried away.
Sean had started to rarely linger until staying as before at Dilla's house while in Bandung, even if there Sean did not himself always invite Slamet.
Every time he returned to Bandung, now Sean is always with Fathan and participated in the study with Dilla and Dhera, Dilla is happy if Sean can follow the study with them, as long as you don't go alone.
Now that Sean has understood Dilla's intentions, he is trying to improve his relationship with Dilla in accordance with the shari'at. Sean wants to immediately marry Dilla, but it is his father who always prevents him with shame because Sean does not have his own income.
Sean chose to keep his distance, as well as Dilla, they were both focused on his lecture, so that it was quickly completed and realized his dream to get married.
Currently Dilla and Dhera are in the mosque on the campus, of course they are following the study with material presented by a Ustadz who is also the builder of religious activists on their campus.
The delivery of material by Ustadz Saiful is very easy to accept and understand, so it is very liked by young people like Dilla, his presence to provide tausiyah is always awaited by young people including Dilla and Dhera.
After the material presented by Ustadz Saiful, and now Dilla sat on the terrace of the mosque contemplating all the tausiyah he just got, of course accompanied by Dhera who always faithfully accompanied him.
"Ra, I was very concerned with tausiyah ustadz Saiful earlier" said Dilla with a straight forward view as if she was laughing, and continued her words,"A lot of mistakes that we've done turned out, it turns out, I just found out", then Dilla lowered her head.
"Gue is also the same, Dilla .. a great deal, but belom is too late for us to repent?"
"Yes you are, Ra! Funny that the same words ustadz Saiful earlier, it feels like my koq slapped all out" regretted Dilla with the corner of the lips slightly raised as if smiling miris.
Many who use the name of religion as an excuse so that we can be close to the opposite sex, say being ta'aruf as a shield with the reason for getting married in the near future. Though during ta'aruf there are rules and should not involve the heart in it and should not be alone.
And this is the fragment of tausiyah ustadz Saiful that ringed in the mind of Dilla :
('he said no koq courtship handrails, tau gak that includes zina!'
'he said koq has not been called affectionate, that was zina!'
'he said not dating koq send-send a personal message pake alas, it's also the same name zina!''
'And everything that involves the eyes, skin, heart and mind of the opposite sex before marriage is called ZINA!'
Then how about ustadz with fiancee? we got engaged because we intend to get married later, I return whether the fiance is in Islam? THE ANSWER DOES NOT EXIST! The betrothed put each other's rings on the fingers of the opposite sex isn't it? is that touching? of course because it is still not halal.
If it is intended to get married, berta'aruflah give 1-3 months while preparing for marriage, during that time there is no contact between the man and the woman, but must go through an intermediary as a witness, as well, gotit? gotit? gotit? still going out? still want a fiancee? yuk, we straighten it out and fix it all back into the rules! )
That's how Ustadz Saiful's talk really made Dilla feel slapped. Dilla must muster up a lot of courage to mend her relationship with Sean because of what she faces not only with Sean, but also two extended families.
Sean may be able to understand, his parents can understand because Dilla always tell stories and convey every tausiyah he can to his parents, exchanging ideas with his father and mother, and his mother, there is no secret between them.
When Dilla was busy diving in the reverie, suddenly his arm was elbowed by Dhera and made him surprised, because it turned out Ustadz Saiful was in front of him along with 2 senior activists. Ustadz Saiful said hello, "Assalamu'alaikum Dilla tea, Dhera tea, not yet at home?"
Dilla and Dhera smiled and immediately lowered their heads while answering the greeting, "Wa'alaikum hail kang, not yet".
"Eh, really compact answer like it's been set that"
Dilla and Dhera, again smiled clumsyly, because they were also confused to be able to respond to the greetings of Ustadz Saiful, they looked at each other.
"Yes, this is very willing to ask a question from someone, tea Dilla already have a candidate yet?" ask ustadz saiful suddenly and make Dilla confused.
But Dilla was not a good lie, so she told him all about her complaints, and about her engagement to Sean.
With wisdom Ustadz Saiful also gave a solution and response, "If in my opinion, the best it is to pray istikharah, ask for guidance with God, pray sincerely if he is Dilla's tea mate, he said, so please get closer, if not please also be facilitated to be kept away, please also ask the heart not to participate first in it huh?! Inget asked Allah not to mean for example like this, Allah if he is not my soul mate make him my soul mate! It was not a do'a but a maksa" explained Ustadz Saiful who was accompanied by the laughter of all who heard it.
Dilla, of course, laughed, and thanked ustadz Saiful, "thank you kang, in shaa Allah will Dilla do his advice".
"Yes equally, if there is an answer that is sure to inform me yes, Dhera tea please memenin later Dilla y tea!"
"Yes Kang, in shayah Allah" replied Dhera.
"Oh yeah kang, how long is this?" added Dilla.
"There is no limit, until you feel confident and get a hint, it can be short or slow or longer, it could be a week-two weeks or even an annual, greyhound but" replied Ustadz Saiful relaxed.
"All right, God willing I will".
Dilla and Dhera returned to Ustadz Saiful and the seniors who accompanied him.
This time it was Dhera who drove Dilla home, as Dilla's car was being repaired in the workshop. When his car was parked in front of a stationery shop suddenly the back was hit by a moge.
Dilla was unwilling to prolong her troubles and did not want to linger dealing with others. Dilla took her own car to the workshop, Dilla came home by taxi at that time.
And starting today as the first day of Dilla doing istikharah, actually Dilla has begun to feel discomfort with Sean. Dilla often gets messages from an unknown number telling her to stay away from Sean, telling him to let go of Sean, even some are proud to tell about having walked with Sean, not just once twice, almost every day, but Dilla is lazy to respond to it.
Dilla only showed it to Dhera her best friend only all the messages of terror and show off, Dilla prefers the best answers and instructions through her do'a-do'anya only.
