Hijab And Waiting

Hafiz Plan

Diana makes hot sweet tea for Hafiz who is teaching Miko. But when he arrived in the living room....

"Sorry Diana, I forgot to tell you that I was fasting" Hafiz said, prompting Diana to bring back the tea.

Since when did he talk formally to me like that? Diana was upset.

Diana had always been so, being cold to all men. Actually, he just had to do that so that it is not easy to fall in love with men.

After Miko finished teaching. Bu Lani approaches Miko and Hafiz who are sitting in the living room.

"So said Diana Pak Hafiz was fasting huh? if you can know, what fasting? You see today is Tuesday," said Bu Lani who wants to know about religion.

"Oh.actually I have long observed the fast of the prophet David bu, the fast of the prophet David, which is a fast that is done in a light. For example, today I fast, tomorrow no and tomorrow again just fasting back. So on buk," explained Hafiz who made Bu Lani so amazed at Hafiz who was young but so experienced about religion.

"Oh so yes, son, mother wants to also fast that way," said Bu Lani who is interested in the discussion.

Diana only heard from the living room while ironing the clothes.

It turns out that the science of religion Kak Hafiz is quite good. Oma likes him very much. Diana said her own word.

Shortly afterwards Hafiz also excused to go home to Lani's mother. Diana accidentally did not come out to see Hafiz's departure. He did not want the man to feel noticed by him. Shortly after Diana's phone rang, a message entered her phone.

I go home first.

Keep health. Don't be so tired.

After becoming my wife, you won't let me work.

Diana waved her lips after reading a message from Hafiz. He also did not reply. When the work was almost done, Andre arrived home from his office.

"Assalamualaikum," said Andre when entering the house.

"Waalaikumsalam" replied Diana. While Bu Lani and Miko have rested in her room.

"Diana..," Andre approached Diana.

"Yes," Diana replied without looking at Andre.

"I love you" said Andre, opening the door to his room and about to enter.

"But unfortunately I'm not," said Diana relaxed.

Deg. What the hell is this girl. He once said that to me. Damnit....

Andre went straight into the room with a slightly irritated face. After changing clothes, Andre went out of the room to the dining table. Diana had already done her job. Suddenly came his ignorant idea to prank Diana.

"Diana, you're ready. Please get me rice dong, laper really," said Andre trying to get Diana's attention.

"Sorry Mas, serving Andre mas to eat is not part of my duty," said Diana ketus as she passed to the kitchen.

Why is he so cold. Look if I'm already my wife, I'll work it out. Andre smiled to himself

Diana enters Miko's room. Miko is still asleep. While it was almost afternoon. Finally he came home. Andre looked at Diana's departure with disappointment at not being able to get the girl's attention.

***********

Diana has arrived home. It looks like Oma is preparing food in the kitchen. It looks like the groceries that Oma stacked in the kitchen are more than usual so that makes Diana wonder and ask Oma.

"A lot of Oma's groceries. Did you send money, Oma?" ask Diana.

"It's not Oma who's shopping. But it was Hafiz who sent the sembako here. He's shopping at the grocery front, this grocery truck is between Mr. Anto," said Oma is still busy with her arranged groceries in the kitchen.

"What's? Why would Hafiz shop this much for us?" ask Diana again in disbelief.

"Lusa, Hafiz and his family will formally propose to you here. Oma is happy to have a beautiful daughter-in-law like Hafiz. You must be happy" said Oma with a face full of joy.

Diana felt like she was struck by lightning. It's finished already. Lost everything he had been dreaming of all this time. For Diana, marriage was the end of everything. Where he could do nothing but take care of the household. Diana went straight into the room and dropped her body violently on the bed.

Why is the world so unfair to me. What I should do. Does my journey have to end? O Allah.Give me strength. Because I can't afford to go against this torrent. There are still many dreams in the sky. There's still a lot of hope that I want to make real. Why is God....

When Diana was still crying in silence in her room, her phone rang indicating a message had come in. Diana opened her phone.

Diana, I'd like to ask you a question.

Do you like a simple ring or a jewel?

The sound of a message sent by Hafiz. Diana was still clutching her phone, not yet moved to reply to the message. But his phone rang again, a sign of an incoming call. On the screen is the name Hafiz.

"Diana's Assalamualaikum" Hafiz said as Diana picked up the phone.

"Waalaikumsalam," Diana replied briefly.

"I'm in Mas' shop, have you read my message yet? I just wanted to ask you about the ring" Hafiz said.

"As far as Hafiz's sister is concerned, I will wear it regardless of its shape" Diana said.

"You're crying, huh?" hafiz said when she heard Diana's voice so soft.

"No, just a little flu" Diana told a lie.

Shortly thereafter, Diana ended the call.

************

"Bi, Diana said it was up to me" Hafiz told his aunt.

"Then this one alone, if the greatness can be reduced," said Aunt Hafiz pointed to a rattan-shaped ring.

All preparations were well planned by Hafiz. Even the bed and the closet have been bought. Aunt Hafiz's house looked crowded with Hafiz's brother who was wrapping up the shipment to be brought to Diana's house. Hafiz sat on the back porch looking at the fish pond in the backyard. His thoughts drifted far away, until a friend of his came and broke his daydream.

"Woy, the bride-to-be don't daydream. Ntar new kesambet know," said Ibn who is a close friend of Hafiz from the past.

"What the hell, ngagetin. I'm not dreaming. Just think of my future angel, just again" said Hafiz casually.

"So you've known me a long time, have you guys been dating?" look at Ibnu who knew that his best friend had never been close to women.

"If you knew him two years ago. But we're not dating, where maybe I'm a girlfriend like you. I'm too scared of khilaf. Hahaha.." said Hafiz while chuckling.

"Are you not dating? But how do you know she likes you?" ibnu's words made Hafiz speechless.

"I don't even know how she feels about me, but I do know she's a nice, devoted girl to old people. He will not refuse the will of his parents, especially Oma who has taken care of him since childhood," said Hafiz honestly.

"So you mean, this marriage is your one-sided will. Do you want to marry someone who does not love you" said Ibnu again.

"I can't be sure about how I feel about her either. I'm obviously comfortable with him. The problem of love.I'm sure one day the feeling grows by itself," said Hafiz full of confidence.

"Crazy you bro.ya already deh...I can only doain hope everything goes smoothly," said Ibn while patting Hafiz's shoulder.

"Thank you buddy" said Hafiz.
