After giving up longing and eating dinner together at a simple meal on the side of the road, Haafizh drove Arabella home but unfortunately, Haafizh's intention to meet Arabella's father failed because his mother told Haafizh to go home soon.
"My spirit must come home soon, I'm sorry I didn't see your father" Haafizh said with a guilty look, even in Haafizh's heart longing to see Arabella's father tonight.
Arabella smiled, looking into Haafizh's eyes warmly.
"It's okay tomorrow you can come here again"
Both have arrived in front of the house. Haafizh and Arabella had gotten out of the car, standing in front of Mr. Haidar's iron fence. With light from the front of the house that is quite bright, illuminate the yard to the side of the road.
The atmosphere on the edge of the city is quite crowded, especially tonight the wind is quite strong. Usually there are people who look to pass by, but this time the streets are quite quiet.
"Alright, then wait for me tomorrow to come see your father"
The big smile on Haafizh's handsome face, long lashes with eyes so sharp always make Arabella captivated, not to mention Haafizh's thick black eyebrows with firm jaws and sharp nose like child's slide makes Haafizh's luxurious face more handsome. Thick lips with enough blackish red it adds a sexy impression.
Arabella nodded with a smile.
Haafizh's long legs stepped forward one step deliberately wanted to erode the distance of the two, not until there Haafizh bent his body to align with the face of Arabella.
Haafizh smiled widely until both eyes narrowed. "Ra, you are my most serious Aamiin"
Arabella was silent with both eyes glued to the figure of Haafizh, with a distance so very close Arabella can smell back the fragrance of Haafizh perfume is so masculine.
After talking for a long time and releasing the return of Haafizh, Arabella immediately entered the house.
"Assalamu'alaikum" Arabella said with a big smile.
In the middle room there is Mr. Haidar who was watching TV accompanied by a cup of warm tea, while Ana he was lying on his hands busy typing on the screen of the device.
Mr. Haidar turned his head when he heard the sound of greetings from Arabella. "Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. How's your job today, Ara?" Ask Mr. Haidar while stroking Arabella's head as Arabella kisses the back of her hand.
"Alhamdulillah smoothly well" replied Arabella.
Ana, who was busy with the device, now rose from the fall, then approached Arabella while watching Arabella's face look bright again. Usually her brother's face always looks moody, but this time it's different. Maybe it's payday. Think Ana.
"What about payday?" Said Ana while elbowing Arabella with both eyebrows up and down deliberately wanted to tease her brother.
Arabella's forehead wrinkled, she did not understand what Ana meant by suddenly asking about payday. A week ago, Arabella was paid a salary.
"Based on this child, your brother just came home from work and even about salary" Sahut Pak Haidar said while shaking his head.
"Soalnya the face of brother Ara is very different, which is usually moody even beaming so" Cetus Ana while staring at Arabella with a fixed.
Arabella was aghast, she too showed a change in her expression. Maybe because it was so happy to be reunited with Haafizh Arabella so he could not hide his own happiness.
"Emm. anu it. I. I just met up with an old friend." Speak Arabella with stammering.
"Old friend" said Ana repeating the words Arabella with a look of disbelief.
"Yes. We hadn't seen each other in a long time, so when we met we were so happy"
Ana just kept quiet while thinking about something. Last day when Ana was about to leave for a friend's house, there was a neighbor who asked her to talk, she said she had seen Arabella driven home by a luxury car and who drove her was a man. This happened a lot a few months ago. Said one of the mothers.
Does this have anything to do with her brother's happiness now? Does your sister have a partner? Why did her sister never tell her? Ana just kept quiet with a sense of curiosity.
Ana'd better figure this out later. Not that her brother has a couple is good. Arabella has never been close to any man.
***
After talking for a long time with Mr. Haidar, Ana and Arabella immediately entered the room. Arabella immediately cleaned up while Ana he immediately fell on the bed while waiting for Arabella to finish changing clothes.
It didn't take long for Arabella to change into a navy long nightgown. He immediately went up to the bed and slept next to Ana who had been watching him.
"You haven't slept?" Ask Arabella while pulling the scarf up to the chest.
Ana menggelengkan kepala, lalu tidur menyamping menghadap Arabella.
"Sir Ara has a boyfriend yet?" Ask Ana.
"has no. After all in Islam we are forbidden to date, that includes adultery! In Al-Isra' Verse 32. And do not approach that adultery (zina) is indeed a vile deed, and a bad path."
Like getting a hard slap through the word Arabella. Ana immediately silenced with a stiff body. He felt he had committed a great sin, all this time his incantation was many. Spread everywhere until Ana forgets, how many of her ex's tails now?!
The approach is then made, continue dating ends with a break up. Next Ana experienced it until now she singles the latest output.
Turns out being single is fun. There is no burden of thought if the boyfriend is afraid of cheating. More time spent alone in such peace
"If that's what I want to repent" said Ana softly.
Arabella looked at Ana in surprise, because she did not know how much of Ana's former that had spread widely out there. Even wandering everywhere.
"Yes gotta! Have you ever dated" Cetus Arabella.
Ana could only nod weakly.
After a few minutes of regretting the mistake Ana made all this time. Now the two talk back, Arabella asks about Ana's matchmaking.
"Ana what about your matchmaking with Alm's mother's son's friend?"
Before answering Ana let out a long sigh, then exhaled violently. "Tomorrow they'll be here. I'm afraid! Why should I be the one to be betrothed" Anas annoyed with sadness.
Arabella understood that, but how else this had become the will of her late mother.
"If you don't like it you can talk, if you like the guy you can take it"
"Stupid, sustenance, death has already set in. We can only pray, ask for the best of all the destiny of God that God has set for us."
"If he is your soul mate, how hard you refuse him, God will keep you together. If it is not certain that Allah SWT has prepared the best for you, Ana."
"But Brother Ara I'm afraid that man is ugly" Rengek Ana with both cheeks puffed up.
"Why if it's ugly? The deeds of man are not measured by the good looks and bad. Choose a man who fears, obeys the commandment of the Almighty. If Allah is forsaken, let alone you Ana. So choose a man of faith"
Ana is stunned after listening to the advice of Arabella. If the man of choice of the late mother is really his soul mate then Ana is ready with all the advantages and disadvantages of the man later.
"But Brother Ara why did you set me up? Why not just Ara?"
One question that Arabella kept in her heart, why did her mother choose Ana from Arabella? Why don't you choose the first child before the second? Does her mother love Ana more than Arabella? Arabella always wanted to feel the affection of a mother.
From childhood until her mother died, Arabella was always loved by her father. Dad has always been a protective figure of mother's anger. When Arabella is scolded her mother always defends her, when Arabella is beaten by her father's mother also always protects her.
Why, why are you always mad at him? Why did you never devote your affection to Arabella? All those questions stemmed in little Arabella's heart. Hoping to immediately find out all the reasons, why mother always indifferent to him.
"Maybe you're afraid you picked the wrong partner. So mom chose you for the betrothed." Smile to always look okay. Though Arabella was very sad, she wanted to repeat the time.
Turning the clock back to childhood just to ask her mother, why is she always mad at him?
"Between loving and being loved, Brother Ara choose where?"
"I'd rather get married"
Again Haafizh's handsome face again just crossed Arabella's mind. Especially tomorrow, Haafizh will meet his father here.
"Then I'll accept this match for Ara's sake"
"Why for brother?"
"Because Ara always knows what's best for me"
Arabella smiled warmly, the two sisters embraced each other affectionately. The best-striped happy smile was clearly covered by both of them.
"I can't wait to hurry tomorrow and see the man your mother chose for you, Ana"
"Just like me too. But brother Ara, that soul mate is like a bunch of tempeh, nobody knows"
