Halal Lover Waiting

Happy News

In her current room, Alesha still can not fall asleep, but now it has shown at 23:00 pm, I don't know what the beautiful girl thinks. 

Alesha got up from her bed, headed for the bathroom that was inside her room, immediately picked up the ablution water and read the do'a sleep, hoping for this sleepiness to arrive soon. But until he showed at 01.00 pm, He still turned his body left and right, He sat back, remembering the events that had happened before.

Starting from the talk of the neighbors who always gossiped, both openly and in the back, the innuendo of fellow friends taught him, he said, and even the families of his parents who always ask him when he will get married, there is no man who will propose it, such is the conversation of relatives during family meetings. 

And again the man who will be introduced by his parents also makes him and his family disappointed. What's wrong all this time, why does it feel like destiny is playing tricks on him. At the age of 27 years, he is still alone, waiting for a halal lover who has been written on his Lauhul Mahfudz.

Alesha repeatedly asked forgiveness from the Almighty, hoping that her wait would come. Until the time showed at 03.00 am, He immediately took ablution water and performed the sunnah prayer, after which He took his mushaf and as usual read the Qur'an while waiting for the arrival of dawn. 

When the dawn prayer reverberated, Alesha continued to perform the prayer shubuh and did not forget as usual infaq shubuh and asked again that his prayers during this time immediately heard and granted by Allah SWT.

In the morning at the residence of Mr. Anggara, Alesha and all family members were having breakfast.

"For Mom, Dad, where's Alfa the same Arfa, tumben not yet breakfast?" Alesha.

"For the child of a beautiful mother, your sister Arfa has left early in the morning, he said he wanted guidance, if Alfa bertar again also out of the room." Mother Alice.

Before long the Alfa also joined at the dinner table, they enjoyed breakfast as usual. Until breakfast, Alice's mother opened the conversation.

"You're okay, aren't you Sha?" Ask Alice's Mother. Alice's mother recalled well last night how she and her husband and son were disappointed by the man Alesha was about to introduce her to.

"Alhamdulillah Alesha is good Mom, I'm still thinking about last night? Never mind Mom forget it, the most important thing now Alesha wants Mom to be the same Dad does not need much thought about Alesha, Allah knows which is best for Alesha, Alesha, why until now no one has come to propose Alesha, because God believes Alesha is able to face everything until later met with the chosen man who has been written in Lauhul Mahfudz Alesha." Alesha answered reassuring both her parents by displaying her wide smile, rising her dimples which made the beautiful girl even more adorable.

"Yes, my son, I believe in you, you are a good boy, your soul mate must be good too" said Anggara's father.

"Aamiin Allahumma Aamiin" said Alesha smilingly.

"Oh yeah Well, Mom, a few years ago, Alesha once told me when Alesha wanted to nolongin one of Alesha's students who wanted to be disturbed by one of the thugs, and we are helped by a man, and it turns out that man is his brother Alesha's student," said Alesha looking at his parents in turn.

"Yes, I remember, why is it, son?" Alice's mother said curiously.

"He called Alesha to ask Alesha's permission to meet with Mom and Dad" Alesha said.

"Kok he can call you Sha? He has your phone number, son?" Ask Anggara's father curious.

"Nah happened to be her brother Alesha's student was Alesha's friend when High School Yah, Mom, and Mom both Dad would know himself from a long time ago Alesha never changed the number, Alesha never changed the number, it turns out that she's been keeping Alesha's number, so she can call Alesha, we've also met a few times by accident." Alesha explained what it was.

"Oh so, why did he want to see Sha's mom and dad, whose name is Sha?" Ask Alice's Mother.

"Alesha also doesn't know Mom, her name is Aqiel, she is indeed a good child anyway, but Alesha used to be not too close to her, too, because Alesha has never been close to Alesha's boyfriend." Alesha.

"Yes already, tell him to go to the house of Nak," said Anggara's father steady.

"Well Dad, Alesha's gonna tell him that you're the same mom who let you." Alesha.

After breakfast and talking with her parents, Alesha helped her mother wash dirty dishes and clean the kitchen. After that he immediately contacted Aqiel via chat to tell the man that his parents had allowed.

That day Alesha continued to move as usual, as if nothing had ever happened that made him and his family disappointed.

At Aqiel's apartment, he is now in touch with his parents in Korea.

Tut's..Tut's..Tut...!!

After three attempts, finally in the other hemisphere Aqiel's phone was picked up also by his beloved mother.

["Hello, Assalamualaikum Ma,]" said Aqiel.

["Waalaikumsalam Nak,"] replied Mama Selly.

["What's up? Mama's just as healthy is Papa there?"] Ask Aqiel attention.

["Alhamdulillah Mama and Papa are healthy here Son, are you okay Nak in Indonesia?"] His mother asked worriedly, for suddenly his eldest son called him this late.

["Alhamdulillah aqiel is healthy here Ma, Aqiel is fine."] Answer Aqiel.

["Alhamdulillah, what are you calling Mama Nak this late? Here it is still at 21:00 (KST) means there now at 23:00 (WIB), you have a problem in Indonesia?"] Ask Mama Sely worried.

["Not Ma, it's just that Aqiel wants to ask for the blessing of Mama and Papa, previously Aqiel has often told the same story Mama, so far Aqiel has had the choice of heart to be Aqiel's life companion. Can Mama and Papa propose to Alesha for Aqiel next week?"] Ask Aqiel to make sure.

Yes, Aqiel has always told her Mom and Dad that she has her own choice. Because previously he had several times wanted to be betrothed by both parents with the son of his business partner Papa. Of course Aqiel refused, because he could not accept any girl other than Alesha the woman who had always been prayed for in the third of the night. 

And Aqiel's return to Indonesia has been told to his parents, in addition to meeting important clients, he also wants to find out about the woman of his choice, who else if not Alesha.

["You're serious, son? Have you met Alesha? Have you confirmed that he is not married? Or has he not been proposed by anyone else? "] consecutive questions Mama Selly gave to Aqiel.

Because Mama Selly does not want her child to be considered as a destroyer of other people's relationships, because no one knows what happened, because Aqiel and Alesha have been stretched for distance and time, moreover, Aqiel never communicated even with Alesha, only in the third of the night he always begged and prayed. 

Aqiel also has a reason why from the first he never once approached the girl of his dreams, because after graduating from college, His father asked Aqiel to continue the company in Korea which was almost collapse at that time, in order to revive the company that had been built by his parents, inevitably Aqiel had to help his father, Papa, so he refrained from approaching Alesha, and focused on his family-owned company. Until now, his family-owned company has been revived and spread almost throughout the country, including Indonesia.

Mama Selly was very happy to hear the good news from her eldest son, but she also did not want her child stuck with her feelings that had long been quiet, He was so happy, if the woman has a candidate or has even been proposed by another man.

"Because Islam does not allow a person to propose to a woman who has been proposed by someone else intentionally, it is forbidden. Because if it turns out that the second suitor received by the woman who was proposed, of course, humanely it will disappoint the first suitor and potentially cause hostility between the two of them. Unless the second suitor gets permission from the first suitor, then it's not prohibited."

["One-on-one dong Ma asked him, Mama don't worry, Aqiel has confirmed that Alesha has not had a candidate or proposed to by another man, Aqiel has also previously met with Alesha several times, Aqiel has also previously met Alesha several times, and Aqiel had called Alesha and asked her permission that Aqiel would come to her house to meet her parents, this morning Alesha told Aqiel via chat and Alesha gave a positive answer, Alesha, that he received Aqiel's good intentions to come to meet his parents, Aqiel did not tell the purpose and intention of Aqiel to meet his parents, only Aqiel was sure of Aqiel's intention this time."] Aqiel answered explaining at length to convince his mother.

["Alhamdulillah then Son, God willing the day after Mama and Papa will soon be in Indonesia, and next Sunday Mama and Papa will propose to the woman of your choice."] Mama Selly said across the street.

Mama Selly's reply made Aqiel happy, relieved to get the blessing of her parents.

["Thank you Ma, because all this time Mama and Papa have always supported Aqiel's wishes"] said Aqiel happily.

["As long as it's the best and make Mama and Papa's kids happy, we're definitely supportive and will always pray for the best, which is important now that you prepare yourself for next week, delivery problems and others leave the same Mama"] said the Mama.

["Every Ma, yes then Aqiel want to get ready to sleep first, Aqiel also drowsy this Ma, again thanks Ma, Assalamu'alaikum Ma,"] said Aqiel with a face that sparkled happily.

["Wa'alaikumsalam Nak"] Mama Selly ended the phone with her eldest child.

"There are Ma, these nights Aqiel telfon, the tumbens of Mama's favorite child is mama's phone, especially in Indonesia already at 23:00 p.m." Papa Roy was curious.

"Look, Aqiel is telling us the good news" said Mama Selly, winking her eyes.

"Mama gini nights do not lure Papa dong," said Papa Roy chuckled.

"O Papa, Mama is serious" said Mama Selly as she poked her lips. 

Yes, these two Aqiel parents, although they are not young anymore, but they always behave like young people dating, Roy's father who often teases his beloved wife.

"What's the happy news, Ma?" Ask Papa Roy seriously this time.

"You know what?" Mama Selly said back to teasing her husband.

"Mama," said Papa Roy in a flirtatious tone.

"Hehe, yes Pa, this time Mama is serious, the day after we go to Indonesia yes Pa," said Mama Selly chuckled.

"When to Indonesia Ma? What's the matter, Ma?" Ask Papa Roy.

"Yes the day after we have to go to Indonesia, because next week we will propose the girl of our child's dreams to Aqiel." Said Mama Selly.

"What do you mean by the mother who prayed for our child every third of the night?" Ask Papa Roy to make sure.

"Yes Pa, said Aqiel our son had met the girl of his dreams, and had exchanged news too, Aqiel said he had also made sure that Alesha had not been proposed let alone married." Mama Selly reassured me.

"Okay then later Papa will ask Papa's secretary to take care of our departure the day after," said Papa Roy spirit.

"Oh yes pa, if Aqiel gets married, the company here how, surely Aqiel will live in Indonesia," said Mama Selly.

"Mama take it easy, for the company here Papa will leave it to his cousin Rendi Aqiel, he will be almost the same as our son is great in taking care of the company, he will be, and Papa will also keep an eye on our company here, and Aqiel will transfer Papa to a company in Indonesia." Papa Roy calms his beloved wife.

"So yes Pa, then Mama is also relieved, hopefully our child's good intentions are launched and facilitated yes Pa," said Mama Selly praying her eldest child.

"Aamiin Ya Rabb" said Papa Roy.

"Mama so can't wait for Aqiel to get married and we will soon have a Ghost" said Mama Selly happy.

"Yes Ma, Papa also wants to quickly have a grandson," said Papa Roy no less happy.

Yes that was the talk of the no longer young middle-aged couple.
