Arka who was anxious about Zahra's words from the WA message, directly contacted Azam, the father of Zahra.
"Assalamu'alaikum sir." said Arka precede
"Walaikumsalam nak Arka." Azam replied kindly
"What's up, son?" ask Azam curiously
"Look sir, Zahra had contacted me through WA, he told me that there were fellow teachers who also wanted to preach it directly." said Arka trembling
"Oh yes, son.. I've heard it, but I told you to make sure first with you, because you guys are bertaaruf, I really appreciate it" Azam replied at length
Arka understood with Azam's reply, he also knew that a woman could not wait too long.
"Yes sir, forgive Arka.. Arka is still busy with Arka's thesis, Arka will talk first with Mother yes sir how good.." said Arka felt bad because in fact he rarely communicated with Zahra or Zahra family
"Oh yes, son.. So what exactly do you feel, son? Are you sure about Zahra?" tanya Azam wanted to make sure
"eeehmmm" Arka has not been able to answer anything, she is still silent while thinking about what to answer
Suddenly remembered the words of Omanya, if you continue to follow busy afraid so forget to marry. Marriage is the one that calls worship.
"God willing, sir." replied Arka straightforwardly
"Alhamdulillah then." said Azam
Then the phone line was cut off. Arka who had been pacing back and forth in front of the window of his room kept thinking, his heart was uneasy.
"God willing I must be sure of Zahra. Which woman is willing to wait without being told, without certainty, and without meeting. God willing Zahra Sholiha woman, best mate. Bismillah." Azam told himself
The day changed, Arka had already discussed everything with Nisa, everything was arranged in such a way. Nisa beat Zahra without the presence of Arka, just through a video call.
The wedding preparations were aided by Rio and the Zahra family.
While Nisa prepares the handover, the dowry is also WO, assisted by Zahra directly.
Arka who really could not help, just resigned with all the choices Zahra and Nisa.
The wedding will be 2 weeks away. Arka had intended to invite Zahra to live temporarily in England, accompanying him. Arka immediately prepared a place to live for the two of them, the apartment is quite luxurious Arka has prepared. Arka and Zahra were already committed to each other during the sermon event at that time. Zahra will be on a teaching leave.
Arka has talked about this with Shaina, Alif is also Omanya. Unfortunately, Alif and Shaina will not be able to come because it is sudden, and there is already another schedule for work. If Oma will be invited to Arka Indonesia, to watch the wedding.
Arka's feelings are still ordinary in the figure of Zahra, there is not the slightest vibration of love in his heart. Arka thinks she will try to love Zahra after marriage.
Arka who will immediately invite Zahra just stay the two of them, thinking to be able to focus on learning together, Arka was also afraid to make Zahra uncomfortable to live here, too, not to mention the attitude of Arka who is still confused to treat Zahra later afraid to make everyone know his true feelings.
Arka's days passed, until the time came, her feelings began to be anxious.
Arka's wedding will take place on Friday. Arka just returned to Indonesia Thursday afternoon with the two of Oma. Not many items that Arka brought, he only brought his carry bag, also a small bag belonging to Omanya.
Arriving at Surabaya Airport, Arka was picked up by Nisa as well as Rio. Umi is greeted with great joy by Nisa.
"Assalamu'alaikum Umi." said Nisa while kissing the hand of Umi, her father-in-law
"Dear Walaikumsalam." replied Umi, then kissed the cheek of Nisa who was blocked by the veil
"My grandson is getting older, tomorrow he will be a priest for the woman of his choice" Umi told Nisa
"Yes Umi, pray yaaa" replied Nisa while walking hand in hand with Umi
Arriving at home, the living room was so messy with decorated items, the house was crowded by relatives of Nisa from ponpes, then Arka entered into his room, and then Arka, disofa has neatly arranged the clothes that he will wear.
Nisa, who followed Arka up to her room, intended to explain the clothes.
"Yes Ma'am." replied Arka as she looked at him
"You try, the size is right or not." continued Nisa
Arka tried it and entered the changing room next to the toilet. After quite a while straight out to show it to Nisa.
"How's Ma?" said Arka while trying to show the clothes on her body
"God's Masya.. How handsome my son.. Is it the size?" nisa responded
Arka just nodded with a smile, then went back inside to take off the clothes. After reopening it, Arka sat down beside Nisa.
