Two weeks had passed, Dilla still had not given her decision. Whether what makes him procrastinate giving an answer, papa and his mother can only leave all the decisions to Dilla herself.
Ustadz Sofian took the initiative to invite Joseph to visit Dilla's house just in touch, while trying to ask for certainty over Dilla's answer. Of course, Joseph agreed to the invitation from Ustadz Saiful because he also wanted to immediately get certainty for his life in the future.
Joseph went with his fellow spiritualists who knew about everything that also brought him as a witness when he first came to Dilla's house. Ustadz Saiful said he would first arrive at Dilla's house to meet Dilla's father.
This time Joseph brought the car he was driving to pick up his spiritual friends so that they could reach Dilla's house at the same time. Joseph stopped his car in front of the cake shop and the fruit shop, he wanted to buy it as a hand for the Dilla family, for him it is not what Dilla refused his good intentions, because he felt he had known his family, the friendahim must stay awake as he thought.
Not long after Joseph with his friends who were witnesses when conveying his good intentions the other day to Dilla had been in front of Dilla's house. Ustadz Saiful, who had arrived there, welcomed them with papa Dilla. Papa Dilla greeted everything, different treatment of course with Joseph not only saluted but also hugged tightly as to his own son.
Joseph felt a different closeness when treated so by papa Dilla, the hug given papa Dilla made him very comfortable like a father to his son, Joseph returned his embrace then let go and threw a smile, he said, it's so sweet that anyone who sees it will get carried away.
They are welcome to sit in the living room while waiting for Dilla to come down from her room. Previously Dilla had met Ustadz Saiful, but when she knew that Joseph was coming Dilla rushed up to her room to take a bath and change clothes. Dilla had received an answer, in the Lord she could establish herself with the answer she would give to Joseph's good intentions.
Of course, Dilla did not forget to tell Dhera, as quickly as Dhera was at home before Joseph and his friends arrived. In Dilla's room, Dhera encourages Dilla, he convinces Dilla to accept Yusuf, Dilla just smiles without giving an answer, of course making Dhera who is at the level of kepo to his best friend is very high, but Dilla Keukeuh did not want to tell him.
Dilla did not want to give an answer, the person who waited for the answer only had to know it first, because he gave the answer to the person who asked not the person who just wanted to know like his best friend. Dilla amused herself to see Dhera who was singing her lips because she did not get any leaks from him. Dilla laughed at her best friend, she was really satisfied to see the expression of Dhera's face that made her curious.
There was a knock on the door, from outside his room.
Tok .. tok .. tok!
It turned out that Dilla's mother was knocking on her bedroom door, because Dilla had been keeping Joseph and the others waiting for too long.
"Mommy's son, is it done?" ask her mother when Dilla opens the door to her room.
"Ma already!"
"Come down, they've been waiting for you too long, let's get Dhera down!" mama Dilla took them down.
The three of them went down and walked together towards the living room where Yuauf and his companions were waiting. Upon entering the living room accidentally Dilla and Yusuf's bead eyes meet and they take a view but both immediately beristighfar and turn their eyes in the other direction.
Dilla sits between her mom and dad, Dhera next to Dilla's mom. Ustadz Saiful immediately opened the conversation and conveyed their intention to come to Dilla's house.
"Wa'alaikumsalam warrahmatullahi wabarakatuh, I as the head of the family in this house who is also the biological father of Dilla is very happy to be back in touch with you guys, I am very honored to know you and thank Ustadz Saiful for being such a sister to me for caring so much for our family" replied Dilla.
"Such as I am, I am happy to visit here, the owner of a very friendly house with always welcomed with a variety of luxurious snacks is amazing, maasyaaAllah" answer ustadz Saiful accompanied by laughter that heard it.
Ustadz Saiful continued his talk, "For this, I want to give these two men time to dialogue in front of us, don't whisper yet!" ustadz Saiful was always good at melting the atmosphere, he also allowed Joseph to speak.
"Assalamu'alaikum, bismillah, well come here it is intended to be as kang ustadz said, but I have also waited for 2 weeks to wait for the certainty of my good intentions. Although I must be rejected, in the Lord's will I remain good with this family," Joseph seemed to tremble as he nervously returned to talk with Dilla's parents.
But unexpectedly, Dilla felt guilty for letting Joseph wait for 2 weeks, maybe this is the time Dilla had to give the answer, he said, Dilla took the initiative to answer him right then and there because she wanted things to be clearer.
" Wa'alaikumsalam, aki! I'm sorry I immediately cut papa, should papa first speak but too impressed formal, well I just want to give an answer from aki Yusuf and my answer ... "
Dilla paused for so long, that making all of them raise their heads and look at her curiously, Dilla felt like a defendant who had to admit her wrongdoing, it was funny to see the expression they thought she had, she said, but only in his heart can he do it.
The tense faces of everything in the room kept Dilla chuckling inwardly. As Joseph bowed his head, his fingers intertwined to form a bowl, as if he were surrendering to God in remembrance. Dilla watched everyone one by one, Dhera did not escape his attention, it was funny to see it.
The tension stopped as a soft and soothing voice came out from Dilla's mouth which was already innate like that, "You all must be looking forward to my answer, well I'll answer it right now, right now, please listen carefully before I apologize if my answer is not satisfactory,"Dilla still did not give the answer.
Dhera and Mama Dilla held hands together, looking a look of tension on their faces. Dhera was upset that Dilla had taken the time to answer him, so that Joseph spoke up again, "Sorry ukhti, please, if you still hesitate to answer it I am ready to wait until you are ready and steady to give the answer, even if you want to refuse today, do not hesitate and make us wait, I am ready to accept rejection because I believe that Allah is All-Knowing of the best for His servant."
He felt a little guilty by the rebuke that Joseph said to him, finally Dilla was determined to answer it immediately, "Afwan aki, I have no doubt and want to answer it and my answer in Allah, yes," all who heard looked at Dilla, saw Dilla's earnestness.
Only Joseph could not believe what he was hearing, and he was afraid to hear Joseph wrongly ask Dilla to repeat the answer, "Sorry, can you repeat the answer?"
Dilla smiled and nodded her head steadily she replied, "The answer is in shay'a Allah, yes."
