It did not feel like 4 days had passed, Dinda had been practicing Istikharah prayer for 4 days and God willing she had the answer.
Before leaving, Rendy said that at 8 pm she would come to Dinda's house to meet with Dinda's family.
Dinda went home as usual to be picked up by her brother Nanda riding a motorcycle. Arriving at home Dinda immediately cleaned up and prepared to wait for the arrival of Rendy. After running out of Maghrib as usual Dinda and her family had dinner together. Dinda told her family that tonight Rendy will come to see them.
"Ma, Brother Nanda and Mbak Lila, later at 8 o'clock Boss Dinda Pak Rendy wants to come home. He wants to meet you all and talk about something"
All eyes were staring at Dinda.
"What do you want, baby?" Ask Mama Dinda softly.
"Later Mama will hear from Mr. Rendy himself, it looks like Dinda should get ready Ma soon he will come" Dinda helps her sister-in-law clean the dinner table and wash the dishes. After that she went back to the room and dressed up thinly, she wanted to look beautiful tonight because Dinda was going to make a great decision in her life. I hope the best decision for him.
Exactly 8 hours Rendy's car entered Dinda's yard. Nanda who was sitting back watching TV welcomed the arrival of Rendy as Dinda had talked about before.
"Assalamu'alaikum" Rendy said his greetings.
"Wa'alaikumsalam" answered Nanda.
"Who is it?" Ask Nanda. Nanda invited Rendy in and sat in the guest room.
"Include me Rendy Mas, Dinda's boss at the office"
"What does it take to come here, sir, to find Dinda?"
"Call Rendy Mas. I want to meet Dinda and her family. There is something I want to say" replied Rendy, although actually at this time he is very nervous but as much as possible he hides it behind his flat face.
Nanda then calls Dinda and Mama and asks his wife Lila to make drinks for their guests tonight. They had sat together in the guest room ready to hear the intention and purpose of Rendy coming to their house.
"mmm... Bagini Ma'am, Mas, my intention and purpose in coming here is to propose to Dinda, I have conveyed my intention to Dinda but Dinda said I have to ask her family permission first" Everyone in the guest room besides Dinda must have been surprised to hear their guest's explanation.
"Did Mom and Mas give me permission to marry Dinda?" with great confidence Rendy made her point.
"How's Ma?" Ask Nanda to her Mom.
"Mama follow what you say, son, you're the head of the family here. Mama is sure you will make a wise decision" Ms Rini told her eldest son.
Nanda stared at his youngest sister. Then take a deep breath, trying to find a good way out tonight.
"I was very surprised to hear the intention of the arrival of Mr. uh I mean the arrival of Rendy to our house. Dinda also just last night at dinner broke the news that you were coming here to say something. Turns out this is what you're going to say" Nanda spoke very calmly and wisely.
"If we were basically very well accepting of Rendy's intentions and goals coming to this house and regarding your sincere intentions that you were proposing to Dinda, we would completely leave this decision to Dinda. It's Dinda's life, we don't want to force anything she doesn't want. As long as for Dinda's happiness we'll all be happy too" Right now all eyes are itching towards Dinda.
Dinda took a deep breath trying to calm herself down and answered her brother's question which was very much awaited by everyone in this house.
"Bismillah, Dinda accept Mas" Dinda bowed and was very embarrassed to look at the face in front of her.
"Alhamdulillah" All in the room breathed a sigh of relief at Dinda's reply.
"You heard Rendy, Dinda accepted your proposal, which means we accepted it too. We really appreciate the decision that Dinda made. We are happy that Dinda is happy too. But I beg you, Dinda is my only sister, only her family and most precious treasure. Please don't hurt him, please be happy with him" Nanda's teary eyes looked at Rendy hard to relinquish responsibility for her beloved sister to another man.
"God willing I will keep the trust that you give" Rendy answered Nanda very firmly. In his heart he was unceasingly grateful to hear Dinda's answer just now.
After that they chatted lightly about the Rendy family and about the Dinda family. Trying to open up and get to know each other two families who will be united in a sacred relationship.
When the time has shown at 10 pm, Rendy pampit go home to all Dinda's family. Dinda drove Rendy to her car. Before returning home, Rendy delivered her message.
"Today I pick you up at 10am, I'll take you to my parents' house to see my family" Rendy stared in Dinda's face. The face she's going to dream of tonight.
"Well sir" answered Dinda.
Rendy's car was out of the building of Dinda's house leaving Dinda glued to Rendy's departure. Hopefully it's a good start and hopefully the decision he takes is also the best answer.
Dinda locked the fence and went inside the house. His family who were still gathered in the tv room tried to light up and tease Dinda.
"Cie.. Mas's sister is already big apparently, a man has come to propose to her Ma" Nanda looked at Mama.
"Here baby, you sit next to Mama" Dinda sat next to her and then hugged her.
"Are you sure of your decision?" Ask Rini to her son.
"God willing Ma, in fact it has been almost a week Mr. Rendy conveyed his intentions to Dinda but Dinda asked for time to think. Dinda asked him to come here to ask permission from Mama and Nanda's sister. Some days Dinda has been practicing prayers istikharah, InshaAllah Allah meridhoi this decision of Dinda"
"Amin" they all said.
"You've never told Din the same story?" Ask Lila her sister-in-law.
"Dinda did not expect Mr. Rendy's brother would propose to Dinda like this and Dinda has not told because Dinda was not sure of the decision that Dinda took" Dinda tried to avoid the curious gaze of her brother-in-law.
"Isn't it true the words of Mbak yesterday when you were ushered your boss home from the service outside the city? You will definitely be interested in your boss. Wong looks so good"
"Ehm...." Nanda throated
"Ups... for me you are still number one Mas" Lila teased her husband who pretended to be jealous. And everyone there is laughing happily tonight. Their family has just received good news, Dinda is getting married.
