How Matcha Love You's

Bismillah

Malik has returned to his home.

Seeing that Malik had returned, Bu Siti moved up and went out of her room to approach her son. Ms. Siti wanted to say something to this son.

“Nak.” Said Ms. Siti stopping the steps of her son who seemed to want to enter her room.

“Iya bu.” Malik stopped and looked at his mother.

Ms. Siti said what she wanted to say to her son. He again ascertained whether Malik was sure to choose Salma as his life companion. Although he still did not fully accept the desire of Malik who wanted to re-apply Salma, but considering the incident last night, when his son was heard to hold back the pain because of his decision, he said, Ms. Siti would give up if her son believed her wish.

“Iya.” Malik cannot lie to himself and his mother.

Malik's answer is in line with what Bu Siti had expected. He exhaled slowly and averted his gaze for a moment from staring at Malik who was standing not far from him. Although he reluctantly asked this to Malik for fear of his son being rejected again, but he did not want to be a barrier to his son to continue the goodwill of doing the longest worship, he said, moreover, he realized the figure of the woman his son chose was not someone worthy of his debate, he also believes Salma is a good woman.

“Bu.”Said Malik after seeing Bu Siti was not also silent after his statement.

Lady Siti looked back at Malik.

“According to mother Salma what kind of woman?” Tanya Malik tried to ask her mother's opinion about the woman she loved.

“Hem, she is good, beautiful, kind, friendly.” Bu Siti uttered all her opinions about Salma without any lies. In her eyes Salma was an almost perfect female figure, she could not even think of a single word that described Salma's flaws. Ms. Siti was stifled to say this because again she realized there was nothing bad about Salma that made her fit to reject Salma as her daughter-in-law.

“According to Malik is also so bu, she is a smart female figure, but never patronizing, she almost has everything, she is beautiful, also smart, more than enough but she never boasts of it. He is even willing to quit his job if we are dating and circumstances require him so.”

“Bu I not only like it because I see it from afar like I did since a few years ago. I liked him more and more after I was with him often, talking to him often. He also has the same feelings as me and he appreciates me.” Malik.

“That's in your view and mom agrees as well. But in order for us to be more confident and want our lives to be blessed, then you should involve God in anything including this. Choose him not only because he is your choice on the basis of feelings and everything that is on him, but choose him because you believe he is the best mate of God. You better go istikharah first.” Said Bu Siti so that her son would not be rash and get the best.

Malik looked at his mother with teary eyes. Malik feels slapped on his current belief that so confident in choosing Salma just because of his feelings and thoughts, he forgot to submit his decision through istikharah.

“If after that you still feel confident, mother will not hinder you.” Lady Siti smiled at her son.

“Iya ma'am, I'll do it.” Malik was pleased that his mother had finally allowed him to pursue his intention to propose to Salma. He approached Bu Siti and hugged her mother tightly. Malik was happy.

Two weeks later.

Salma slightly shifted the vase of flowers in the living room of her house. He did that to make his house look more neat and orderly. After doing some light activities for the living room manata, Salma chose to sit on the sofa in this room. He took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. Salma did this so that she could become calmer because she was feeling very nervous at the moment.

“Malik what time is it here?” Mom asked Fatma to see her daughter.

“After prayers asar bu.” Reply Salma excitedly, behind her nervousness, she felt very happy because it seemed that the long-awaited moment was coming soon.

Malik has made several prayers of istikharah to ask for guidance and steadfastness to continue his intention to propose Salma. Not the fear, doubt, or worry he could feel afterwards, Malik felt more confident that Salma was someone he deserved to fight for. Knowing that, Ms. Siti also became more convinced to re-invite Malik to propose to Salma even though for the second time.

Today, according to the agreed day, Malik and his mother and uncle will come to Salma's house to convey his good intentions officially. A week ago, Malik asked Salma's father Mr. Kades for permission to bring his mother and uncle home. All went well, the father accepted Malik's arrival and gave him permission.

“Assalamu’alaikum.” Some people were heard from behind the door.

With open arms, Ms. Fatma and Mr. Kades received a guest who was none other than Malik and his family.

Hearing that from behind her bedroom door, Salma felt very happy as well as becoming more nervous, her heart pounding faster. Although he knew his parents would not reject Malik, he was still afraid. Afraid that all this would not go as he wished.

After a while, Mr. Salma received a guest, someone knocked on Salma's door. Hearing that, Salma immediately opened her room door slowly.

“Come out meet them.” Pinta Bu Fatma to her daughter.

Hearing her mother's request, Salma rushed to stand in front of the mirror table inside her room. She slightly touched the cloth covering her head to tidy up her hijab. Once it felt ready enough, Salma took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. He hopes that he and Malik will be a match and his steps forward with this man figure will be made easier. With bismillah Salma set her feet to accompany her mother to the living room not far from her room.

Salma sat directly across from Malik and flanked by her parents. Even though he and Malik had been together several times and sat down like now, they did not dare to look at each other. They sometimes smile because they can not cover the happiness they both feel.

“This Malik came with his family to propose to you son, did you accept it?” Ask your father shortly after Salma sat in his place.

Although he likes and even loves Malik very much which is impossible to make him say no, but he does not want to look rash. Salma looked at her mother and father in turn and spoke bismillah in her heart.

“I received it.”
