Happy reading 💕
The sound of the clanking of spoons and forks clashing on the plate, accompanied the ritual lunch of Rizal's family and guests.
They looked ravenous and enjoyed the lunch served by two beloved maids Nayla-Sinta and Sindi.
After noting all the menus presented on the table, they chatted casually interspersed with jokes.
Nayla looked happy, so did Rizal and Rumi. For them, this lunch ritual is the most fun ritual in their lives.
"Kyai, when did Mas Zidan start teaching Papa prayers and teaching?" Nayla interrupted their conversation by asking Kyai Hidayat.
"Why didn't Nak Nayla ask Zidan directly?" Instead of answering the question posed by Nayla, Kyai Hidayat asked back accompanied by a smile that grew.
"I can't afford to ask Mas Zidan, Kyai. Every time I look at the face of Mas Zidan who looks like Indonesia Raya, my tongue feels twisted and my heart beats. My lips were silenced, so that I could not say a word, let alone break a word."
Rizal and Rumi shook their heads when they heard Nayla's reply. So did Maria, Safa, and Sadam. They look compact to hold the laughter that almost airs with lip smacking because the words of Nayla successful tickle the sense of hearing.
While Zidan, he tried to refrain from getting his head enlarged because of Nayla's praise directed at him. Of course words of praise that impressed hyperbole.
"Ehem." Sadam interrupted meekly to divert the attention of everyone in the room.
"Son Nayla, don't over-praise Zidan. Chief Zidan can grow up!" candelessly.
"No way Mas Zidan's head grew up, Uncle. Because the truth is like that. Honestly, I really hope, Mas Zidan is clingy and increasingly in love with me." Nayla chimed in Sadam's jokes while glancing at Zidan's face.
Unintentionally, a pair of netra Nayla and Zidan intertwined, to make both behavior salads.
If Nayla can take off the shame, want it to feel like she prancing and salto because of her so wrong behavior. Of course the wrong behavior mixed with excitement because it collided with the dream youth of his heart-Zidan Arfa Rasydhan.
In contrast to Nayla, Zidan immediately turned her face and pronounced Istighfar in her heart. Then the air is scooped deep to normalize the heartbeat that is slowly pounding.
"I'm sorry, I have to say goodbye soon. Because after Ashar later, I will go to Solo," said Zidan after his heartbeat returned to normal.
"Depart to Solo? What's to Solo, Mas? What's up there and who's the same?" nayla Cecar. He responded to Zidan's words by throwing a row of question sentences.
"To visit the boarding school that I was building, Ma'am," he answered with a line of smiles. But without looking at the face of the other person.
"Before leaving for Solo, you must fulfill your promise first, Mas."
"Promise? What promise, Ma'am?" Nayla's words prompted Zidan to ask the girl with a clear tone, followed by a link between the base of her eyebrows. Zidan really doesn't remember if he had a promise to Nayla.
"Mas Zidan forgot or just pretended to forget anyway? Who made a new appointment this morning." Nayla thunches. He was upset that bin was upset with Zidan who he thought had forgotten the promise.
"Sorry, I completely forgot, Ma'am."
"Try to remember, Mommy!" nayla.
Zidan also tried to remember his promise to Nayla by closing a pair of neutrals.
Slowly Zidan opened his pair of neutrals and shook his head slowly. "Sorry, Ma'am. I really don't remember."
"Bad you, my mother! Your time does not want that today .. You want to preach me." Nayla makes a melow and puts on a sad face, making Zidan feel guilty.
"Sorry, Ma'am. Today I was planning to preach Nayla, but --"
"But why, Mom?"
"But I don't think the time is right yet."
"Why not exactly?"
"Because Papa and Mama Mbak Nayla need time to get to know me personally, so that he can both judge whether or not I deserve to marry Mbak Nayla," Zidan said, answering a question.
"Zidan's right, Nay. Papa and Mama need time to get to know Zidan personally. We also need time to ask Allah for guidance by performing Istikharah sunnah prayer before making a decision. Accept and bless Zidan as your future husband or keep your match with Jordan. Frankly, it's not easy for us to derail your match with Jordan, because we already made a deal with Jordan's parents." Rumi also opened her voice.
"Nay, you have to be patient. If Nak Zidan is indeed your soul mate, God willing, you must be united in His righteousness and lawfulness. But if you are not a match, both you and Nak Zidan must be able to accept the will and destiny that has been written by the Writer of Life Scenarios. Sure, whatever God wants must be the best" said Mary.
"Yes, Grandma. But if you can ask and force, Nayla wants to be a match with Mas Zidan. Nayla doesn't want to be a match with anyone else. Had we not been a match, Nayla would still be loyal to Mas Zidan. Nayla will wait until God changes the destiny of love as Nayla wants."
"Mr Nayla can't be like that. Ma'am Nayla must be able to accept the destiny that has been outlined by Allah with sincerity and pleasure. As Mary's Grandmother said, God's will is the best." Zidan paused for a moment, then published a smile.
"God says in His book, "you may hate something, but it is good for you. You may like something, but it is bad for you. God knows, and you do not know." So, we do not have to impose the will. Live and receive whatever God has outlined. If we are not a match, I am sure ... God is preparing a better soul mate for Mbak Nayla. But if we are a match, insyaallah ... God will ease our steps and remove all obstacles. Maybe now Mbak Nayla hates Jordan, even though Jordan is the best Adam for Mbak Nayla. And maybe also, Mbak Nayla likes me, even though I am not the best Adam for Mbak Nayla," he continued.
"Where is a man like Jordan the best mate for me, Mas? If it is, then I am very despicable before Him --"
"It's not like that I mean, Ma'am."
"What kind of a thing, Mom?"
"Maybe, Jordan will repent and want to improve. Leaving behind everything that is unclean and despicable, and moving towards the straight path and being guided by Allah. It could be, later Jordan will understand and understand the science of religion more than me. So, he is the one who deserves to be the priest Ma'am Nayla. I wasn't. Wallahualam. Only Allah is All-Knowing."
Nayla's speechless. For some reason his heart was in great pain when he heard a thread of words flowing profusely from Zidan's lips.
It is imagined by him if Jordan is the best match for him and not Zidan.
Indeed, Nayla could not, because her heart continued to be linked to one Adam-Zidan Arfa Rasydhan.
