Early in the morning, after the dawn prayer Hana rushed to meet her father and mother. It means to convey the answer. After the Istikharah prayer once again, Hana steadied her heart with her choice.
"Assalamualaikum, father's mother" Sapa Hana
"Wa'alaikumsalam wr wb, replied Hana's mother and father together.
"Hmmm anu yah ma'am, Daffa will be here tonight" ana conveyed with a little doubt
"Alhamdulillah, means you are ready to give an answer to nak Daffa ? ask Hana's mother.
"God willing ma'am, Hana is ready" replied Hana confidently.
"Well, if that's what we don't have to go to the shop today. At home, ma'am" said Hana's father.
Hana and her mother prepared a simple meal to welcome Daffa later tonight. I don't know why Hana was so nervous. But he convinced himself that what he took was accurate. Because busy preparing dishes, although only simple. It doesn't feel like it's afternoon. Hana and her family rushed to prepare for Daffa's arrival.
At 07:30 there was a roar of cars entering the courtyard. Hana peeked out of the window of her room. Daffa and Rey have arrived. Hana's too nervous. Prepare to meet Daffa.
Daffa's footsteps grew steadily to hear whatever Hana answered. He entered Hana's house slowly.
"Assalamualaikum" said Daffa.
"Wa'alaikumsalam" heard the voice of the father and mother who answered the greetings daffa, followed by bilal and his wife from behind.
"Please enter for Daffa" Bahtiar sir's voice invited Daffa to enter.
"Yes sir, thank you" Rey said.
"Oh, please call Hana here" asked Bahtiar sir to his wife.
"Yes" as Sholihah's mother walked over to call Hana.
Hana and her mother entered the living room. Daffa looked at Hana in amazement. I don't know what was going through Daffa's mind. To be sure, the more awesome Hana became for Daffa. Suddenly the voice of Mr. Bahtiar broke the silence.
"Hmm" hemm"
"Ehh. sorry "
"Here han" called his father while patting the chair next to him. There was also present Bilal, his wife and child who was a toddler.
"Just right away" said Daffa, looking forward to hearing the answer that has been in the future for many years.
Hana was confused, I don't know where to start this conversation. Seeing Hana who was just silently looking down, Rey immediately spoke up.
"Mmm, I'm sorry Miss Hana, our arrival here is to ask the lady to answer about things 4 years ago" Rey said.
"Hana, if you're ready to say everything, say it now" asked Hana's father
"Yes yeah, sorry" Hana replied while looking down
Slowly ventured to look at Daffa. Trying to find sincerity in the eyes of Daffa. Hana looked at Haffa who seemed to be very hopeful of her. For a few seconds they meet again. Reminds me of first meeting on the bus by accident. Hana woke up from her daydream. And immediately neutralize the rumble in his heart.
"I apologized to Mr. Daffa. Actually it's too soon for me, but seeing your patience waiting for me all this time. I am sure, if the father is a sincere person" said Hana softly
"Maybe... (Hana was silent for a while) Mmmmm maybe if Mr Daffa can accept Hana what is there? " ask Hana
But Daffa had not yet said. Hana continued her words.
"I mean, are you willing to accept all my shortcomings and advantages. I am not a man like Daffa. Honestly I have no beauty to seduce, no science to admire, no treasure to be proud of. Everything in me is very simple. I am like heaven and earth compared to Mr. Daffa" Hana said at length.
"But I don't know why I love you so much Han. I've thought about it. I will accept all your shortcomings and advantages. Vice versa. Hana should also be able to accept everything about me. If one day you know my bad side, you will stay by my side. I will also be like that" explained Daffa.
"Well, if the father can accept my inner birth, then can people around the father accept me. your father and mother for example? " Hana asked with a little hesitation.
"Because marriage not only unites 2 people, but married it unites 2 families. If one of your closest people can't accept me and my family, maybe that will be an obstacle, and Hana just wants to get married once in a lifetime. Because marriage is not something that can be made to play" continued Hana again.
Now Daffa understood where Hana was talking. Daffa was too excited about this.
"Did you ask my parents at the time? " ask Hana.
"Already" Daffa replied "and they leave this decision to you" Daffa said.
"That means, father is the same mother bless us? " ask Hana to her parents.
"Is Bilal like that? " Hana changed over to ask her sister.
"Of course Han, I just want what's best for you, if you've decided after you look for clues, maybe Daffa is the best for you. If you feel happy with your choice, Bilal will also be happy" said Bilal.
"All right, now it's clear. But there's one more question. I want Mr. Daffa here to propose to me with Sah. Meeting between parents and parents. Only Hana would give a definite answer" Hana said still with her head down.
"Well, I'll be here soon with my parents" Daffa replied steadily.
"Thank you Mr. Daffa" said Hana shyly. Now everyone looked towards the smiling Hana, and they realized that Hana's cheeks had been blushing red like tomatoes. That's the sign Hana is holding back shame.
"Oh yes, I apologize in advance. Hana you don't call me father anymore huh. I'm not that old. Just call me mas. Like when we met on that bus" Daffa asked
Everyone in the room was shocked. It turned out that Hana's meeting with Daffa was on the bus.
seeing the shock, Daffa explained how yes and Hana had met.
"And I immediately fell in love with Hana when I found out she kept her eyes down. I don't know what makes me like that" Daffa explained.
Everyone in the room knew the ins and outs of how Hana and Daffa met. They are all relieved to be able to express their uneg-uneg. Same with Daffa. It was acknowledged by Hana's father that Daffa was a brave man. Luring people's daughters by coming to their parents. Not even ask her to date like most teenagers today. That means Daffa knows the limits to the non-muhrim. Mr. Bahtiar is increasingly convinced to release his daughter for Daffa.
"Let's be eaten, this is just a simple dish, and that's all there is! " hana's father broke the silence. And they started dinner while chatting lightly. Only Daffa steals eyes from Hana. And when it was over, Daffa and Rey decided to go home.
"Thank you, Bahtiar sir, for the meal. And I will soon bring my parents here" Daffa said politely.
"Just like Daffa, thank you for visiting our hut." Answer bahtiar mendelur.
"Then I say goodbye, assalamualaikum"
"Wa'alaikumsalam" answered Hana
After Daffa and Rey left, they cleaned the table. Then rest.
