Assalamu'alaic... This is Fazila. I've heard your decision, and I've made my decision. Let's meet up. Come to Tahfidz House. We'll talk. Fazila wrote in his short message.
Refal looked happy, but at the same time he also felt fear. There was nothing he could do but hear the final decision of the girl he was trying to pin down. For a long time he closed his heart, now a beam of light illuminated his soul, and the shadow of rejection made him feel sorrow. Deep sadness.
Ahaha!
Refal's daydream of the pain of rejection simply disappeared after hearing the crisp laughter of dozens of sweet children who had just finished with the muraja'ah of his Qur'an memorization.
"Is happiness really that simple? Why are the kids laughing? Are they laughing at me? Aahh, no way!" Refal said as he stared at the class where Fazila taught the Qur'an.
After receiving a short message from Fazila, Refal rushed straight to Tahfidz's house, taking four hours and ten minutes for Refal to reach Tahfidz Fazila's house, because the distance from the house is quite far.
"Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumsalam Warahmatullah..." Refal answered Fazila's greeting with a smile on his face, but his heart felt a sense of unease.
"I'm sorry, I asked you to come, even I kept you waiting. Again sorry." Fazila said regretfully. The door of his office he left wide open to avoid slander.
"Is Miss Fazila always in this place?"
"It can be said like that. I spend more time in this place because the kids need me."
For a moment, both Refal and Fazila were silent. I don't know where the ferocious attitude that Refal always showed. He was only silent in front of Fazila but his lips could not be separated from the smile.
"Please, coffee!" Fazila pointed to the coffee that was in front of Refal. The coffee that Maya brought in a few minutes ago started to cool.
"It looks like it's cold, I'll change the coffee. Wait here."
"No, that's not necessary." Refal answered quickly, a second later he began to reach for the cup of coffee in front of him, drinking it calmly even though it no longer reflected hot steam.
"We'll talk slowly." For a few seconds, Fazila dared to look at the handsome face of Refal, but in the next second he again ducked. It felt uncomfortable for Fazila's figure to linger staring at the man who wasn't even kosher to her.
"Ummi and Abi told me everything. I mean, the Governor's noble desire to lead me.
Honestly, I was very surprised. I can't even sleep after knowing everything. At ten o'clock in the night, I woke up and performed the prayer istiharah. Seek guidance from God.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, I felt a great sense of confusion. I'm also nervous about things I don't know the cause of.
Then at twelve, I sat on the left side of the bed. I think my chest is going to explode. I was agitated, so agitated that I couldn't stem my own feelings.
And in the next second, I tried to sleep, unfortunately I could not do it, because when I started to close my eyes, the words of Ummi and Abi who said Mr. Governor wanted to marry me stole all my calm. Can the Governor imagine how I feel?" Right now Fazila asked without letting go of his gaze from Refal's handsome face.
"Yes, I can feel it. I'm sorry for disturbing Miss Fazila's peace." Really, Rehal wasn't lying. He's really sorry.
"Then at one o'clock, I stood on the balcony, looking up at the sky filled with stars, hoping to calm my mind. Too bad, it doesn't make any changes to my heart that's in a state of anxiety." Fazila chirped in a flat voice, occasionally his breathing sounded irregular.
"Night, I forced myself to sleep. Then at 2:30 a.m., I began to wake up. I perform the Tahajud prayer, and ask for guidance on the Power.
For a moment Fazila's office was silent, not a word came out from the mouth of the Rephal. He really did not expect the result of his actions that asked for two days to make the beautiful girl in front of him unable to sleep. Refal feels guilty, but somehow he also wants an answer that will not disappoint him. Does he have the right to do it? To distract him, Refal again sipped his already cold coffee.
"Did Miss Fazila think I made a mistake? I'm sorry for having a different opinion."
"No. I never thought you made a mistake, you dared to talk to Abi it means you're the man in charge.
It's just that I, as a woman, don't want to make mistakes. For me to marry once and fall in love once. That's why I forced myself to understand what I wanted and how I would live my life in the future." Fazila unceasingly expressed his opinion. Make the refal feel a high level of tension.
"So, after thinking about it carefully, and by saying Bismillah hirrahmanirrahim, I decided."
Glekk!
Refal swallowed the saliva, waiting for Fazila's answer to make his entire body feel cold hot.
"I accepted your proposal, let's do it. Married in two days." Said Fazila in a soft voice. Netra shady again met with the beautiful netra Refal.
It felt like Refal would faint from feeling this much happiness. He had prepared himself well if he was rejected. In fact, good destiny was on his side. Indeed, Refal wanted to shout and tell the world that he was relieved.
"Ja-so Miss Fazila agreed, and accepted my proposal?" Rehal asked only to calm his soul.
There was no answer from Fazila other than a small nod of the head. That pretty face carved a sweet smile. A smile that was of course the first time that Refal saw the scara directly.
"Haha! I happy. Thank you." Thank you." Refal spoke while folding both arms in front of the chest.
"Yes." Yeah." Reply Fazila briefly.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"Ask whatever the Governor wants? God willing, I will not hide anything."
"What was this place founded by Miss Fazila? This place is so relaxing!"
"Yes, the Governor is right. This place I built with all my might. Without involving Abi in it.
Perhaps the Governor wondered, why are we meeting in this humble place? And the answer was very simple, only this place was thought of by me, the safest place.
Before I thought about asking you to meet on campus, I undo that intention, I do not want to be the gossip of everyone. In this place, we can avoid slander, and good again, no one will speak ill of us.
And one more thing, after this we will not meet without being accompanied by family. I hope God will take our journey." Fazila said at length, he cupped both hands in front of his chest, meaning he was done talking and it was time for them to separate.
Refal, who understood Fazila's intention to do the same, cupped both hands in front of his chest without removing a smile from his handsome face. Will their heart's intention to make a proposal and marriage run smoothly? Only God knows!
I dare to love, and I love bravely. Inner Refal is still with a face that can not be separated from a smile. He was very happy with Fazila's decision, the decision that finally received his proposal.
