The tabligh akbar event ended that afternoon leaving a sense of amazement from the audience who was not expecting the ability of Rehan to read the verses of the Quran. Rehan and Kirana looked harmonious on stage. Many students praised them until Alif confused himself, honestly he also agreed with the opinion of some students if Rehan and Kirana did look harmonious but in another corner of the heart he had to admit he was jealous.
Especially when he saw how Rehan was very attentive to Kirana, since getting off the rehan stage continues to be around Kirana, Rehan's view can not be separated from Kirana. Alif understands Rehan is trying
getting Kirana's attention. Although Kirana had rejected him back then, Alif thought. Alif doesn't know what's really going on. He only knew today he would immediately convey his good intentions.

Assalamualaikum, afwan if I sassy.
This afternoon, I have met Mr. Arif to be guided ta’aruf with Kirana.
A short message that Alif sent to Kirana. Alif had no idea how disappointed Kirana was to read the message.
“Why new now, Alif?” isak Kirana's.
Why when he was trying to forget Alif, Alif actually tried to get closer? Does Mr. Arif not tell Alif if he is ta’aruf with Rehan? Then is it true that Kirana is not happy to know if it turns out Alif also likes it without the need to express feelings excessively? Kirana kalut's. There are two roads. One leads to the person who first makes her feel a foreign swish towards the opposite sex and the other, the man Kirana hopes to help her forget her first love. What was Kirana's decision? Kirana began to doubt, when all she wanted to do was to avoid slander and adultery.
“If you have come to you a good young man and you are ridho of his religion, accept it, do not refuse, otherwise greater slander will occur.” The sentence repeated itself in Kirana's head until she fell asleep.

Mr. Arif did not immediately agree, he only asked Alif to be patient because he had to discuss it with Ms. Eliza. Moreover, this is not a joke. Married easily is not easy even though in the heart of Mr. Alif himself believes that Alif is a responsible young man. But, the problem is.ah, Mr. Arif patted Alif's shoulder.
“Applying a process like this, means Alif must be ready to accept two possibilities. Accepted or rejected. Alif ready with it?” ask Mr. Arif.
Actually Alif did not expect to be asked like that. But in his heart Alif felt confident that Kirana would accept him. He knows how Kirana feels about him. Although demikan, he also responded to Mr. Arif's request.
“Whatever the answer will be, Alif must remain prejudiced in the decree of Allah.” Resolute Mr. Arif.
“Insyaallah, Pak” answers steady.

Since Kirana decided to give Rehan a chance. He was more and more silent in the room. Every responsibility he did at home was done. He immediately went into the room reading books, teaching or just daydreaming. No more joking with Kiara. Although Kirana looks calm but Kiara who has known the nature of her brother can feel there are things that are very disturbing her brother's mind.
Kiara pity seeing Kirana like that. He wants to do something but Kiara is afraid that his actions will make Kirana's problem more complicated. He better ask me, he thought.
