Hope on Prayer

Episode 3

 

Even though I accepted you

Your heart is not for me

And I know your body is not for me

 

🍁🍁🍁🍁

A few days after Bram's meeting with him Hanna performed the Istikharah prayer to determine the right answer for him to give to Bram and his family. Hanna spread out her alphabet the third of the night she asked God for guidance on the answer to what he wanted to choose "Oh Allah, yes Gofururrohim with your 99 names I ask for the answer what I will give to Bram and his family? Do I have to accept it for the sake of the father who made a promise to Mr. Ardi to marry me to his son? If 'yes' is the answer then I will accept Bram mas as my husband later, then set this heart to accept it and hopefully Bram can be responsible to myself and my family later Aamiin." hanna said in the groaning of her tahajud prayer by shedding tears that fell hard on her cheeks

 

°°°°°°°

 

"Assalamu'alaikum ustad" said Hanna on Ustad Gofur who was standing in the courtyard pesantren

"Waalaikum'sallam iyah what's up Hanna?" she asked while looking at Hanna

Then Hanna told the reason she met with Ustad Gofur, which was to talk that she would agree with the arranged marriage made by her father to Mr. Ardi "So my coming to ustad is that I will accept this matchmaking" he said in a soft tone

Ustad Gofur who heard him shocked and was happy that Hanna received this matchmaking "Allhamdulillah if that is indeed your answer ustad hope you have thought about this carefully and ustad only hope for the best for you." he said with a smile

"Bissmillah O Allah may this be the best answer" Hanna said in her heart with firm conviction

 

°°°°°

 

"Masyaallah allhamdulillah if it's ustad iyah-iyah later I convey to my wife and child, Iyah ustad salam also the same ustadzah and Hanna." said Mr. Ardi in his phone which is none other than Ustad Gofur

Bu Ani who saw her husband smiling happily wondered because what makes her husband so happy after picking up a phone from someone "Who is calling? how much are you really happy?" he said as he approached Mr. Ardi

"Hmm iftad Gofur who called him if Hanna had received this matchmaking" he said with a smile while looking at the body of Ani

Bu Ani who heard it was very happy if soon she will get a beautiful daughter-in-law and solleha "Allhamdullilah merah finally Bram will get married too and we will not only get grandchildren but also the son-in-law who solleha" he said happily

They both smiled happily together because they heard the happy news today

 

°°°°°°

 

Bram who was working suddenly did not focus because he thought about the matter of his matchmaking with Hanna "Where would I be if Hanna really agreed to this matchmaking as well? What about Rina when the cave has to kill him? Hopefully Hanna won't approve of this plan. But if you look at beautiful Hanna too even if you think using beautiful logic ngalahin others, arghhhh! why is the cave a mujia now?" he said it to himself while putting on a worried face

Lina who a few days ago learned that Bram agreed to an arranged marriage from his papa suddenly worried that he would lose Bram forever "I don't want to lose Bram anyway the woman he loves is just a cave. But what if Bram suddenly not love and love the same cave? The cave has to do something." he said with himself while putting on his cynical face

While Rina was at work she heard a phone call from someone and suddenly stopped her work activity "Mas Bram?" he said after seeing who called him from his cellphone screen and Rina raised her phone from Bram

Rina://"Hello iyah mas what's wrong?"

Bram://"What are you?"

Lina://"Busy!" he said it briefly and jutek

"Rina must be very angry with me because I told her about this match" he said in his heart

Bram://"Well, did I pick you up at the office?" he said with a sweet tone

Bram://"Judah gini if you don't want me to pick me up wait for you resto lombok yah?"

Lina://"Jude!" he said briefly and immediately closed the phone from Bram

 

°°°°°°

 

Arriving at the restaurant lombok Bram came a little late because suddenly there was work and Rina had 1 hour she waited Bram himself resto it "Sorry well I'm late." he said with a slashing face while sitting in front seat of Rina

Rina simply turned her face away from being annoyed had waited a long time for Bram's arrival

"Honey come on don't have to sulk so ah ugly know, iyah I'm wrong I'm sorry Because it was fitting on the way here suddenly there is an impromptu job so I have to do the work want to not want, sorry well?" he said while holding onto Rina's hand gently

"You're weird now, you know? ever since you accepted this match, your rich attitude has changed just like me!"he said with an annoyed face

"I'm so glad to see the face I see! Nothing has changed with me at all! Even if I have a contract with that woman, believe me, I will love you at all times!" he said firmly by looking at Rina's face very deeply

 

°°°°°°°

 

Arriving at home Bram sat in the family room sofa and thought about his match with Hanna "What should the cave do if Hanna received this match? How's the cave related to Rina?" he said it to himself while putting on a frustrated face

Bu Ani who saw Bram sitting alone approached him "Bram what's wrong?" he asked and sat down next to Bram

Bram was surprised because he was afraid to hear the mama hear his words "Hmmm not mah gapapa kok" he said stammering

"Oiyah mamah almost forgot mama just wanted to tell you, if Hanna had received her match with you" he said with a smile

Bram was shocked when he heard his mother say that Hanna accepted his match "Means the cave is married to Hanna?" he said in his heart with a worried face

Bu Ani was astonished to see her son's attitude when he told her that Hanna accepted this matchmaking "Bram why is your face so? You don't like this match?" I asked with a confused face

Bram shook his head and said "Well, you know from the beginning Bram did not like this matchmaking and mom and dad also know that I love Rina not Hanna" he said firmly

"Bram mamah knows you love Rina very much, but do you know the attitude of papah when meeting with Rina for the first time? Well mama just hope that if you marry Hanna you will understand why papah really wants you to marry her" said Ani's mother by staring at Bram's face

"But mah..." When she wanted to speak, Bram's speech was interrupted by Ani's words

"Bram when you accept reality believe you will be grateful to God because this is the best you can accept. Believe me sooner or later you will forget about Rina and be able to love Hanna, your future wife" he said while stroking Bram's shoulder

The next day was a holiday, when Bram was busy drinking the milk available in his home refrigerator Bram stopped his drink when he heard the sound of someone shouting outside his house "Who early in the morning gini terak? There's no security guard?" he said with annoyance

Bram came out to the voice when he arrived outside Bram was shocked by the sudden arrival of Rina outside his house "Rina?!" he said and went straight to him "Darling what are you doing here?" tanyanya while opening the gate of her house

"Mas I want to see you! Where is your papah?" ask her out loud

"Why do you want to find Papah?" Bram asked with a confused face

Mr. Ardi who was enjoying reading his morning newspaper was stopped by a noise from outside his house "Well is that a fuss?" Ask in confusion

Mr. Ardi also went out of the house and came to the noise when he arrived outside Mr. Ardi was angry with Rina for disturbing him who was reading the newspaper "You! What are you doing here?!" ask her firmly

"Om I want to cancel Bram's match with that woman!" he said it out loud

Mr. Ardi who heard Rina say he laughed and said "I will not cancel this match because Hanna has accepted this match and soon they will both get married and I am adamant that you stay away from my son because I do not want you to approach my son!" he said firmly

Bram hears her papa's words shocked he doesn't believe that Hanna agreed to it and Bram will marry her instead of her lover Rina
