Hijab And Waiting

Preaching Diana

Andre came home with a different face to when he left home. He went into his room and locked the door. Bu Lani stared at the door of Andre's room which had been closed by him. Bu Lani took a deep breath while thinking what really happened to her eldest son. Bu Lani knocks on the door because she is very curious about her son's condition. But there was no answer from within. Finally, Bu Lani sat back down on the sofa.

Inside Andre's room he threw his body violently on the bed. He stared at the sky of his room while covering his face with both palms.

"Arkhhhhhh.." cried Andre rudely.

He felt very sick. Her chest was like sliced, her heart seemed to want to stop beating seeing the fact that her heart had been pinned by people. But he also did not want to give up immediately, before Diana married he would continue to try to get Diana's heart. Andre picked up his phone and sent a message to Diana.

Diana, I love you so much. I also want to be your life partner. Why do you accept someone else's proposal. Did you not put a single bit of feeling on me?

The message was sent. But I haven't got a reply yet. Andre was sure there must be Diana had not read the message he sent.

**********

In the living room, the atmosphere seemed so warm between the families of the two parties namely the Diana family and the Hafiz family. Uncle Hafiz who became the protocol at that time began to convey a greeting to open the event. Diana kept her face down as if she did not dare to look at Hafiz's face which was right in front of her. Another, with Hafiz who is so confident to see people around him. Hafiz also looks very handsome with a white shirt that fits on his body. She is so compatible with Diana who also uses a white patterned robe with a shimmering hijab covering her head.

After the opening ceremony was over, Uncle Hafiz asked to put a ring on Diana's finger. But Aunt Hafiz who did so represented Hafiz. Diana looked nervous as Aunt Farida began to approach her. He also raised his head slowly.

"Congratulations, son. May you and Hafiz live happily ever after" said Aunt Farida, pinning the ring on Diana's ring finger.

Diana just nodded quietly in silence. It felt like he did not dare to look at the reality that he himself could not conclude would end happily or not. Now there is a circular ring on Diana's ring finger that indicates that she has been pinned by people. He stared at the ring that fit so well on his finger. After pairing the ring on Diana's finger, the aunt returned to her seat. The two families continued to eat together. The atmosphere seemed so warm between Diana's side and Hafiz's side like those who had known for a long time. But the two brides-to-be just kept quiet. Hafiz occasionally stole a glance at Diana.

"Oh yeah, how's this going, sir? Guess when we can have their wedding?" uncle Hafiz said to Diana's family.

"Faster is better sir" said Mr. Diana relaxed.

Deg. What did Pakde say? Has he gone mad. It's nice to make an offer like that. Mumbled Diana.

"What if it's two months away?" said Oma who did not want to lose.

'I want to get married why they are so enthusiastic. What I think is not important so they do not ask about my feelings, Diana said in her heart again.

"Yes yes buk. Let Hafiz take care of it too. It's a pity that every day you go home from work you have to cook for yourself" added Aunt Farida.

Hafiz only smiled faintly hearing the conversation between the two families. His heart is so flower-bearing now. Something else with Diana. His expression looked flat and cold. Not showing what. Hafiz had been watching her from the beginning. But Diana's indifferent attitude made her unaware of all that.

The twilight that began to arrive made Hafiz and his family moved to leave home. Diana and Oma Nuri's family lived there. Diana helps Oma and the others to clean up the living room that was used as a meeting place earlier. Then Diana returned to the terrace to sweep the terrace. When he came out the door, his gaze was fixed on a man he knew who was also looking at him with a gaze that was difficult to understand. The man slowed down his steps in order to be able to stare at Diana's pretty face for longer. He was Faiz who had just returned from the city of M to retrieve the necessary files because he was going back to the city of M.

There was never a sense of love

between us now lives a memory

I want to forget all about you

But no longer like you oh my star....

Faiz sings with a loud voice. Like his song was intended to satirize Diana who he once liked. Diana paid him no heed and resumed her work to sweep the lawn.

"Where's son? It's relieved, isn't it?" aunt Farida asked on their way home.

"It was not so relieved Bi, before Diana was legal to be Hafiz's wife" said Hafiz.

"But you've already preached it," said Uncle reassured.

"Patience, ask for protection from Allah" said Aunt Farida and was answered with interruption by Hafiz.

"Mom, it turns out Diana's sister is very beautiful. Hafiz really likes her, right," said April Hafiz's teenage cousin.

Everyone in the car chuckled at April's comment about Diana. Their journey took them almost an hour until Hafiz and his family finally arrived at the residence of Hafiz's house. Hafiz thanked all his relatives who had been willing to take Hafiz to propose to Diana. Hafiz's relatives eventually returned to their homes.

Hafiz went into his room and cleaned himself, after which performing the Ashar prayer. Finished praying, he took his cell phone and intended to send a message to Diana.

Assalamualaikum Diana's.

Thank you for accepting my proposal.

The message was also sent. A few minutes later, Hafiz's phone rang indicating a message was coming in.

Waalaikumsal.

Yep.

Hafiz opened the incoming message and read it. His eyes immediately glared at Diana's reply which was so short. However it made him again smile knot and try to send out a message again.

What are you doing Diana?

Shortly after, Hafiz's phone got a reply.

Was busy.

Hafiz was stunned to see Diana's last reply made her no longer think of sending back a message to Diana. He scratched his non-itchy head while smiling.

"I really like your cold attitude that's my sweet." said Hafiz himself.
