First Love of Ustadz

Chapter 242 The Matchmaking

Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin the arrival of guests from Kyai Pondok Pesantren Al Hikmah.

They come to live and with a specific purpose.

"Kyai, actually we came here because we intend to match our daughter, Adiba with Izam son Kyai Fariz," Kyai Anwar said in front of everyone in the living room of Ustadz Fariz house.

"Yahoo!"

Salsa who was enjoying his drink at that time became choked to hear the words of Kyai Anwar.

So did the other members of the Ustadz Fariz family. They did not expect that if the Kyai Anwar Family's purpose in addition to being in touch, they also intended to match their daughter with Izam.

Izam did not even think of it. Even he had no thoughts of getting married for now. Yasmin, her sister, has just been found. He did not want the moment of togetherness with his sister disturbed.

For Rhea and Ustadz Fariz, they had no thoughts at all of matchmaking their two children. Because they have failed in fostering a household so they do not want their two children forced to marry just because of arranged marriage without being based on love.

Therefore, they never impose the problem of a couple on their children.

Ustadz Fariz turned to his wife. He doesn't know what to say. Approve? He couldn't have agreed to it without asking his wife and son, Izam. Refused it? He also hesitates if he directly rejects the wishes of Kyai Anwar who is much older than him.

Kyai Anwar is a friend of Kyai Farhan, the owner of Pesantren Al-Mukmin, the husband of Umi Sarifah.

How could he just reject it if Kyai Anwar's relationship with the owner of Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin is very close.

"How did Kyai, did Kyai accept this match?" kyai Anwar asked Ustadz Fariz.

Salsa felt her heart ache. He did not think that the taste he had could be that painful when he heard Izam's match with Adiba.

Salsa saw Adiba who had earlier stolen a glance at Izam. The veiled girl smiled as she stole a glance at Izam. It was very clear from both eyes if the girl's smile was a happy smile.

Yasmin understood what Salsa was feeling. He had read a diary of Salsa expressing his admiration for Izam.

Yasmin's hand tightly held Salsa's hand to give her strength. He smiled and nodded as Salsa turned to him. In a smile and Yasmin's face said that everything would be fine.

"I can't refuse or approve Kyai. All decisions are with Izam. If the two of them agree to this matchmaking, we as parents cannot forbid it. But if the two of them don't approve of this match, we can't force it either" Ustadz Fariz said in response to Kyai Anwar's question.

Izam lowered his head, he knew here he couldn't ask Abi and her Mother. He had to answer for himself to make his choice.

"How is Adiba, do you approve of this matchmaking?" kyai Anwar asked Adiba, his daughter.

Adiba, the veiled girl lowered her head and nodded her head timidly.

"Alhamdulillah.," said Kyai Anwar with a smile followed by his family members.

"Then Izam, what about you, do you approve of this matchmaking?" kyai Anwar asked Izam.

Izam who lowered his head now looked up at Kyai Anwar who was waiting for an answer from him.

Izam was nervous, he was afraid of making a wrong decision. He closed his eyes and swallowed his breath before he answered Kyai Anwar's question.

Ustadz Fariz and Rhea stared at each other, then they turned to look at Izam. They smiled at Izam to let him know that they agreed with what Izam said and they were proud of Izam who did not rashly determine the answer even in a desperate situation.

"Well, you two have to get to know each other better so that this matchmaking can continue. I'm waiting for the good news Izam. Because I want to stay in good relationship with the family of Kyai Farhan and Pondok Pesantren Al-Mukmin," said Kyai Anwar responded to an answer from Izam.

Unable to hear everything, Salsa immediately stood up and ran out of the place without saying goodbye. Of course it made his family to be shocked, astonished and wondering.

Izam turned to Yasmin as if asking what was wrong with Salsa and Yasmin shook her head. She did not want to tell her sister about what Salsa felt for her. Only Salsa had the right to say her own feelings to Izam.

"Why Salsa Nda?" ask Ustadz Jaki to Shinta.

Shinta shook her head with an anxious look on Salsa. He wanted to catch up with Salsa, but it wouldn't be polite for him to leave his guests just to chase after Salsa.

Ammar, the older brother of Adiba who had earlier stolen a glance at Salsa and Yasmin was shocked by Salsa's sudden departure from the room. He wants to get acquainted with Salsa and Yasmin as both are able to steal his attention.

"Yasmin, please find out what happened to Salsa" Shinta whispered to Yasmin's ear.

Yasmin nodded and she immediately walked out of the room to find out Salsa's whereabouts.

On the shore of the lake, Rhea's favorite place at that time, Salsa now contemplated with tears, calming down there.

Seeing the water so soothing and the sound of fish arising on the surface of the water makes Salsa calmer there. The wind blowing makes the hijab Salsa dancing exposed to the wind diverts a little pain.

"Sister Salsa," said Yasmin, patting Salsa on the shoulder.

Salsa immediately wiped away the trace of her tears, then she turned her head to force her smile on Yasmin.

"Are Salsa disappointed in Brother Izam's decision?" yasmin asked Salsa with both looking straight ahead at the calm lake water.

Salsa smiled faintly. He did not expect that he would get that question from Yasmin.

"You know Yasmin?" salsa asked who was still looking straight ahead.

"We fellow women must know, sister. Yasmin sensed it," Yasmin replied as she turned her gaze from the lake to Salsa and she smiled as Salsa turned to her.

"I'm stupid, Yasmin. Loving someone who doesn't love me at all. And unfortunately again, he will be betrothed to another woman," said Salsa while smiling to belittle herself.

"No Brother. Love and love are gifts. And not necessarily Kak Izam received the match. Didn't Brother Salsa hear himself that Brother Izam did not immediately agree with the matchmaking?" yasmin hatch.

"But what for tomorrow? They will definitely be arranged. Do you know who Kyai Anwar is?" salsa said with a trembling voice and teary eyes.

"Abi and Mommy are not like that, Sister. They will not force anything for their children" Yasmin said in a soft voice and hugged Salsa's body to calm her down.

Shinta, she heard whatever Salsa was talking to Yasmin. He felt sadness in his heart.

Oh my God, how should I? inner Shinta looked at the crying Salsa in Yasmin's arms.
