"What?!"

Selin and Ergin were immediately shocked after hearing Hilyah's statement about Azlan who had applied for Filzah last night. Suddenly and felt very strange.

Selin put down his spoon and fork. He finished his breakfast the morning. It seems that his appetite is gone. More precisely when Hilyah said that Azlan had proposed to a woman who was none other than a waitress in their family-owned tavern. Selin really did not expect. This is beyond expectation.

"It's serious?, Azlan proposed to the new waiter?, why try?"

"For Zaura." Azlan Sahut.

"By Zaura?, he meant?" Selin did not understand Azlan's answer.

"I want to marry Filzah because I want to be Zaura's father, is something wrong?"

"Well, Filzah is a poor woman who does not deserve you, than you marry her better you marry a woman who is equal to you, equal to our family, equal to us, I have many friends, you just choose which one suits you." Selin blatantly blames Azlan's decision even with confidence he offers his friends who want to be betrothed to Azlan.

Azlan let out a breath of air. He is very lazy to argue with his brother-in-law who does not know himself. Never want to look at someone before insulting them.

"Filzah is indeed a village woman, but Filzah is a hardworking woman, she seeks her own money to meet the needs of her life, she does not depend on others, she is not dependent on each other, and obviously he's not a hobby to squander money." Azlan instantly insinuated Selin blatantly, right in front of him. 

"Ma, Azlan left for work first."

Azlan moved from his seat. He said goodbye to Hilyah to go to the office.

"Look at Mama's son, not very polite the same older, talked instead go." Selin was upset with Azlan's attitude, but even Hilyah was sprayed. Selin really did not reflect on himself it was clear he was also not polite to his mother-in-law. As he pleased he grumbled at Hilyah.

As before, Hilyah only responded with a brief smile. He was not at all interested in replying. He just did not think it out because his eldest son as the husband of his daughter-in-law did not react anything.  Ergin just kept silent when she saw Hilyah, Mama herself became the subject of his wife's nagging.

"Already Selin, let Azlan choose his own life companion, he who wants to live it so he has the right to make his choice." Said Hilyah in a soft but firm tone.

"Oh so Mama agrees to have a village daughter-in-law and poor like the new waitress?, village women like the new waitress just take advantage of Azlan's innocence alone Ma, I'm sure she must be eyeing Azlan's money, the wealth of our family, the new servant-model's village woman, is predictable."

"Selin, it's not good to be confused with Filzah, not necessarily what you say is true, and it could be slander, after all according to Mama, Filzah is a good woman, and, she's a hard-working woman so there's no way that Filzah is what you say it is."

Selin let out a breath of air. Now he is also upset with his mother-in-law. Always defended Azlan and never agreed with him. Selin nudges elbow Ergin. He told her to defend herself.

Ergin quickly understood the signal Selin had given her. "Ma, what Selin said was true, rather than later Mama and Azlan regretted that it should be canceled, the new servant was not the only woman in this world, she said, there's still so much better than that new waitress."

Hilyah could only shake his head. Son-in-law and son are the same. They are filled with negative thoughts. It is always bad to think of others.

"Selin, Ergin, yes, you don't have to interfere with your sister's life, let Azlan choose her own path, she's an adult, she knows what's best for her life." This time Hilyah acted decisively so that her son and daughter-in-law stopped to babble about Azlan's choice which they thought was the wrong choice.

"Then Mama went to the store first yes, Grizelle Oma's grandson who diligently schooled yes son."

Hilyah rushed out of his house after getting a nod of the head from his grandson, Grizelle.

"No, Mama's not the same child, his taste is very low, Daddy is lucky to get Mommy, Mommy, modern women are not like the new waitress, village women." Selin was increasingly upset with Hilyah's assertive attitude that told him not to interfere in Azlan's affairs.

Ergin agreed to his wife's saying "Yes is Mommy, Daddy is very lucky to get Mommy, Daddy did not think too much about Mama and Azlan, too, how could we propose to the new waitress like there is no stock of women anymore, but yes it's important we have reminded, we just wait for regrets Mama and Azlan later."

"True Daddy, Mommy can't wait to clap her hands on the regret of Mama and Azlan for having chosen wrong."

Maybe this is called a soul mate is a reflection of self. Selin and Ergin both have an unworthy temperament. His hobbies are insulting and making fun of people. And now the subject of their contempt is Philzah.

Like the usual days Filzah is now headed to the Hilyah shop, where he works. But he was not alone but with Zaura and they both carried bags. Like the first time they reached this town.

"Assalaamu 'alaikum."

"Wa 'alaikumus salaam, son Filzah, Zaura where are you going?, why are you carrying a big bag?" Hilyah was confused to see the mother and child who were now standing in front of him while carrying a bag.

"Mother, I'm sorry before, I'm here to ask for permission from Mom, I want to go home to Mom." Filzah explained to Hilyah that today he will return to the poor village.

Hilyah was surprised to hear it. "What?, you want to go home?, but you're going back here again right?" Hilyah hoped that Filzah and Zaura would return to this city.

Filzah nodded with a smile. "God willing, Mom, we will come back here again, we want to go home because Zaura has missed her Grandpa and Grandma, at the same time I want to ask the opinion of Grandpa and Grandma Zaura about the proposal Mr. Azlan last night."

Hilyah was able to breathe a sigh of relief because Filzah and Zaura returned home for only a short time and will return to this city.

"You be careful, take good care of yourself, Zaura don't stay long in the village, Oma will miss Zaura."

"Yes Oma, in shea Allah Zaura not long because Zaura is a school, so the permission can not be long, right Mother?" Zaura said, seeking approval from Filzah.

Filzah nodded with a smile to approve Zaura's words.

"Then we say yes ma'am, Zaura darling let's kiss Oma's hand."

Zaura followed Filzah's orders to kiss Hilyah's hand with respect. After that Filzah and Zaura set foot to get out of the shop and enter the online car that Filzah ordered. Take them to the nearest train station.

"Assalaamu 'alaikum Grandpa Granny."

Zaura went into the humble house she had left for a month. Filzah followed him from behind while carrying his large bag containing his clothes and Zaura's clothes as well.

"Wa 'alaikumus salaam, Zaura." Uzmah looked towards the doorway. He was shocked to see his grandson standing there.

"Assalaamu 'alaikum, Mother Father."

"Wa 'alaicumus salaam, Philzah." Jasir smiled happily to see his son-in-law and granddaughter had returned to their home. And now they are in front of him and his wife. 

"Grandma, Zaura is really kangen with Grandma."

"Grandmother misses Zaura too."

Uzmah and Zaura hugged each other. To erode their longing for each other. So did Filzah who kissed Jasir's hand with respect. Then also kissed Uzmah's hand after they had a short hug.

"Mothers are healthy, right?" Said Filzah who asked about the health of Jasir and Uzmah.

"Yes Oma, thank God Zaura is just as healthy as Mother." Sahut Zaura seemed to represent the answer of the Mother.

"Zaura take a shower now, baby."

Zaura nodded obediently. "Ready Mother." Then the little girl rushed out of Grandpa and Grandma's room to go to the bathroom.

"Mother, Father, thank God Filzah has earned a salary for one month of work." Filzah took out a brown envelope stored inside his small bag. "And this is a little money for your medical expenses, even though it is not enough please save first yes, sir."

Filzah gave his chocolate envelope to Uzmah. At first Uzmah hesitated to accept it but Philzah signaled to her to accept it.

"Thank you Filzah, you are a very good woman, I am equally grateful to have a daughter-in-law like you." Praise Uzmah to his son-in-law.

"Yes Filzah, thank you son, you are loving Father and Mother, you are our angel of help, may your kindness be reciprocated by God with kindness." Jasir continued, who thanked Filzah and prayed for him, so that his kindness would be reciprocated by Allah in the form of kindness.

"Aamiin, you and I do not need to thank Filzah because it has become the duty of Filzah to help Mother and Father."

Unceasingly Uzmah and Jasir thanked the grace of God, which is a kind and sholihah son-in-law.

"Oh yes Mother, Father, someone wants Filzah to talk to Mom and Dad."

"What are you talking about, son?" Uzmah asked who was worried about Filzah.

Filzah shook his head slowly. "Thank God Filzah there's no problem, ma'am, it's just." Filzah stopped his speech for a moment. Then he looked at the faces of Uzmah and Jasir in turn.

"What is it, son?" Uzmah was impatient to hear the continuation of the speech from Filzah which had stopped.

"Just one applied for Filzah Bu, sir." Connect Filzah later.

Uzmah and Jazir were shocked. They looked at each other until they looked at Philzah again.

"Is anyone proposing to you, son?" Tanya Uzmah explained what she had heard.

Filzah nodded slowly. "Yes Ma'am, his name is Mr. Azlan."

"Keep do you accept that proposal, son?" Uzmah asked again.

Filzah. But that doesn't mean he didn't accept Azlan's proposal. "Filzah has not given an answer, Miss, Filzah asks for time, and thank God Mr. Azlan does not mind giving Filzah time."

"Filzah wants to ask for the opinion of Mom and Dad, honestly Filzah's dilemma, Filzah does not know will accept or reject the proposal, Zaura does need a father figure in her life, he said, but Filzah did not think to marry again, Filzah can not forget Mas Fahril, Until now Filzah still loves Mas Fahril."

"If you may know who Mr. Azlan is, son?" Jasir asked to find out the identity of the man who had applied for Filzah.

"Pak Azlan was the son of the owner of the shop where Filzah worked, Mr. Filzah also previously did not expect that Mr. Azlan would apply for Filzah, because we both did not know each other, because we both did not know each other, we only know each other's names, because at that time Hilyah's mother and the owner of the tavern Mr. Azlan introduced us both." Filzah tried to explain Azlan to Jasir who asked him.

"If you don't know each other, then why did Mr. Alzan propose to you son?" Ask Uzmah.

"Pak Azlan proposed to Filzah because he wanted to be a father to Zaura, he also loved Zaura, and Zaura was also close to him."

"Maa shaa Allah really began to heart Mr. Azlan, he was willing to be a father for Zaura, no doubt that Mr. Azlan was a good person, he was willing to be a father for Zaura, I agree with Filzah if you want to accept Mr. Azlan's proposal." Without a second thought Uzmah had agreed to Filzah to accept the proposal. Moreover, after he heard how good Azlan was to his grandson even loved him.

"Yes Filzah, I also agree, Mr. Azlan is a good person, he is so sincere in loving Zaura, that he is willing to be a father to Zaura." Jasir agreed. However, Filzah did not agree to accept Azlan's proposal.

"But Ma'am, sir, what about Mas Fahril?" Ask Filzah who is still thinking with Fahril.

Uzmah smiled calmly. "Filzah, Fahril would also agree especially this is about the happiness of Zaura, maybe you are the same Fahril not long match, and maybe your real soul mate is Mr. Azlan, but it all depends on you, son, and so on, because you're gonna live it." Although Uzmah had given Philzah the blessing to accept Azlan's proposal, Uzmah would not force him to accept it, as Philzah would.

"Yes Filzah, Father and Mother will always support whatever your decision, which is important for us, you and Zaura are happy."

Filzah's heart and mind were a little calm. His mother and father-in-law gave their own opinions. But Filzah also could not give a decision to accept or reject Azlan's proposal. But at least Filzah already knew the opinion of Jasir and Uzmah who supported whatever his decision. But they also agreed when Filzah received an application from Azlan who they thought was a good person and a noble heart.

🌹🌹🌹

Filzah touched a soft tombstone that read the full name of his life complement who had died seven years ago. The man who once made her smile was happy but also once made her cry to forget how to smile happily.

"Mas Fahril, thank God I can make a pilgrimage here again, but I'm sorry I didn't come with Zaura, because I came here to ask your permission, if Allah wills and if indeed I and Azlan match I will marry him, and Zaura will have a Father, forgive me Mas if later I am not loyal to you again, I did it all for Zaura's sake, for our daughter Mas's happiness." Filzah could no longer endure his grief. He sobbed in his solitude beside the navel of the husband who was always beside him. 

"I go home, Goodbye, and may you be at peace with God. Aamiin's."

Slowly Filzah rushes to leave the final resting place of her husband, her soulmate in the past but does not yet know whether to be her soulmate for good.

🌹🌹🌹

"Assalaamualaikum warohmatullah wabarokaatuh." Shout Filzah at the end of his prayer.

Filzah raised his hands to heaven after performing the prayer, asking God for guidance in making his choice. Either stay faithful to his first marriage or build a marriage for the second time.

"O Allah, O my Lord, the Most Merciful and the Most Merciful, tonight I rest before You, I ask for Your help, O God in breaking this dilemma, give me a clue to choose between two options, whether I will remain faithful to my marriage with Mas Fahril until we are reunited in Your heaven or I will accept a proposal from Mr. Azlan to marry him so that Zaura can feel the affection of a man Father, O God, whatever your choice, I am sure it is best because only You know what is best for me and for my daughter. Aamiin Allahumma aamiin."

After honoring the Most Loving about the lightheartedness that was greeting him slowly Filzah was a little more calm. Instantly his gaze turned to Zaura who was sleeping in her beautiful dream. Filzah gently stroked Zaura's pretty dense hair. He kissed the princess with love, love and sincere affection.

"Whatever Mother will do for your happiness Dear, because you are the source of Mother's happiness, may Mother's decision later be the best for all of us, for Mother's happiness and for your happiness as well, for your happiness as well, Mother loves you dear"

Filzah clutched the little body of the princess with novelty and sobs. Philza was unceasingly grateful that God had been kind to him. Gave her a daughter who soothed her heart and soul.
