The day of the meeting has come, Zahra is helping Tini cook the food that he will serve for the arrival of Reza and his mother is honest actually Zahra is impatient with the arrival of Reza and his parents because it is as proof that Reza is rightreally serious to Zahra because to meet his parents is not like most other men out there who only take a woman lightly and will play tricks on him as if it is an item.
"Where is Ra?" asked Marko who looked at the watch in his hand, what's more when it has entered the time of Zuhur and as he remembered Marco gave less time than that and should have Reza come early with his mother at that time.
"But pah, Zahra call first," said Zahra who was also worried to see Marco who was already agitated and had thought of things that were not-nothing about Reza in his mind
hmmh Kaka where the hell?, do not lie yes, if lying I will really be angry. said Zahra in his heart and hope that the unwanted things do not happen, if you lie, because he was really scared and didn't want anything bad to happen.
"don't wait any longer, Dhani, Raditya let's pray, '" Marko was upset that he didn't like someone who wasted the opportunity let alone someone who was wasting time, because for Marco 1 second 1 minute even 0.001 seconds it is very valuable, and the opportunity is very expensive for humans and there is rarely a second chance that will be obtained by humans. so in the end they agreed to pray together.
o Allah at this hour ka Reza where the hell?, I have asked permission from the parents, have been hoping for so much why should it be like this, so, I really do not feel good with my mom and dad who has been waiting for Reza from this morning Mama until a lot more time for Reza ka, Reza, not to mention papa who is usually difficult to take time for others and now even willing to be willing to provide time for Reza's sister all for the sake of my wishes that want to be fulfilled. Zahra was confused because Reza could not be contacted and she also still did not come, Zahra could barely hold back her tears. After they prayed together, Zahra clasped her phone tightly. He hopes there will be news from Reza to date, he still hopes that Reza will come soon even though taras is not painful after coming because it proves His sincerity to his parents, he still hopes that Reza will come soon even though taras is not painful after coming because it proves His sincerity to both parents, not because it's not worried about Reza's circumstances but it's about the feelings of a woman who once raged.
Zahra looked fixedly at the door and also the dining table that had been filled with dishes. Zahra's gaze was filled with sadness, Raditya and Ramadhani who saw Zahra feeling pity, said Zahra, and sighing they understood how Zahra expected Reza's presence and they also actually hoped that Reza would become a trusted man who could guide her towards the right path and keep trust, she said, not a man who is negligent and also likes to spend time like this it is a thing that is hated by 1 side of the family if it is very wrong to do things.
At 13:15 WIB.. Zahra could not bear to wait, she decided to go to her room, she locked the door of her room, and ran towards her bed, she cried hugging a pillow and enveloped herself coldly? does it feel cold, hot? it was just as hot on his chest, there was shame and disappointment in his heart now. Shame because it has made his own biological parents wait, and disappointed because his trust and opportunity have been in vain right, right, Zahra who had been trying to think positive but now lost because his thoughts were all mixed and became negative.
"just look I'll never want to see her again, I'll get her out of my mind again!, I'll get her out of my mind again!, if indeed he was negligent I would absolutely never forgive him he had humiliated me and my family, I gave it a chance and my family tried to believe it and Mama who from the beginning supported all my decisions now is like this I don't want to happen, I hope you have a good reason for me to change my mind about this negative you" Zahra cried and buried her face in the pillow in front of her because she did not embrace anything other than the pillow at that time.
tok tok tok tok
There was a knock on the door from outside Zahra's room, but Zahra ignored him because Zahra was still in her tears and still felt disappointed and inexhaustible for what happened and was completely confused by what he should do.
"daughter?" Call Tini who still hasn't been opened by Zahra.
"iya ma," Zahra answered Tini with all her might as agr could not be heard crying. But Zahra Still has not opened the door for Tini, because he was afraid to be seen crying by his parents, he does not want if until the family again worried about him
"Let's go down and eat, son," Tini asked Zahra in a gentle and loving tone always hoping that something best would happen to her daughter just like her, and always hope that Zahra's tears will not fall from sorrow but fall from happiness, Tini always wanted the best for me Zahra because every time he stroked Zahra's head he would always remember the late friend of Zahra, Zahra the late friend he will never forget.
"mama first, Zahra wants to rest" replied Zahra half-screaming from the room because she was still in a bad mood.
" Yes mamah first yes, your mother's advice must also go down now, son Reza has come under the same papah again," said Tini before leaving from outside Zahra's room. Tini then left Zahra's room in a voice and hoped that Zahra would come down soon, and had a little laugh because he had expected Zahra would soon come down if he knew it as well as his reaction when he was young.
"!!!" Zahra was surprised he felt disbelief but it seemed Tini was not lying. after hearing that from Tini and after Zahra was completely convinced by what her mother had said Zahra rushed to wash her face, she said, then pat a little powder on his face and wear lipstick whose color is fused with the skin of his lips, and cover his eyes are swollen from crying, and, as well as using a little polish on his face and get ready so that he can go down perfectly with his appearance is usually taught by his mother.
Reza looked at Zahra who had just come to the dining room, she spread her sincere smile on Zahra, Zahra replied with a slight smile, there was still a sense of resentment in Zahra's heart because Reza came that plate, she said, but still trying to think positively and hope that Reza gives a good reason when he talks with his parents so that makes Zara rethink about di Reza which has been negative value on his thoughts.
"sorry before if my son and I are late to come," Reza's mother greeted Marko and the others gently and bowed and slightly embarrassed Mother Reza actually apologized from inside her heart which was so very sincere and it could be seen from the look in her eyes and the sound of his voice made Marco and Tini who heard it become melted as well as Ramadhani and Raditya who are now trying to think more positively about them as they have been Zahra tried to do it to herself.
"oh, that's okay," tini answered with full satisfaction and also humbled that Reza and his mother felt comfortable in the house of Tini and Marco at that time others like a guest who became a king who was being served by the owner of the house as taught by the Prophet Shallallahu alaihi wasallam to his people.
"pardon me beforehand may I find out why you were late?," Marko spoke with his face though his heart was soft, but Marko still had to address himself firmly so that one did not repeat the same mistakes and could be more respectful to others or others, more able to discipline time so Marco does not want to be someone who runs out with pleasantries but is not gentle is not the true soul of a man.
Zahra tau papah and his brother will put on a sour face if with someone who is less liked, especially on the rival prospective daughter-in-law, he said, it must have been clearly drawn on Zahra to his gaze on the face of Marco and his brothers because the only ones who have a face immune to sour faces are Zahra and Tini who are in the house. Zahra admitted that papah and his brothers will indeed be somewhat difficult to conquer if only with property and appearance but not exception if with the responsibility attached very concentrated in a person.
"hmh sorry before my reason is because I had to funeral of my late husband earlier, because yesterday did not have time and yesterday happened to be the right time to ask permission to my husband to come yesterday but unfortunately yesterday did not have time so I try to spend today to ask permission and came to his funeral. And because it happened to be Adzan zuhur already reverberated so me and Reza to the mosque first to pray for a while. Please forgive me and my son" Reza's mother replied softly and lowered her head.
Marko felt guilty at once and felt that Reza's mother was not lying.
"Ah? it's okay, isn't it? hehe," Tini felt no strange heart trying to melt the atmosphere.
"Well, let's have a taste of the dish first" Raditya offered the dish to Reza and his mother.
"thank you very much" Reza thanked Raditya for handing over the dish to get closer to Reza's plate.
After a while the food is finished.
"before I was very grateful to all for allowing me and my son to visit the family residence,"
said Reza's mother who was heard carefully by Marko and the others.
"this is what I mean here to express my son's wishes, he really likes Zahra, he even changed a lot he began to deepen his religion. Maybe we are from a simple family but for two years he has managed to save his work even though not so much. And soon he will go to college, I'm very grateful maybe it's his real intention that makes him have a great opportunity to fight for Zahra's son" explained Reza.
"maybe it is not yet when I came to propose to Zahra, but in this meeting I only hope that we can establish a closer relationship such as friendship for example, so that there are no misunderstandings and establish trust and openness. The soul mate is only in the hands of God, but in this meeting I want to ask permission for my son to be given the opportunity to fight for the son of Zahra," Imbuh Reza's mother
a whose hand is now held by Reza.
Marko can be seen sighing and nodding to show that he has understood what Reza's mother wants to say.
"but there's something I want to know about Reza, too, but I want to have a four-eye talk with him, okay?" added Marko
"yes sir,"
Marko takes Reza to the front room where there are only Marko and Reza, while Tini is inviting Reza's mother to talk so that there is no awkwardness.
"sorry Mom, my husband is so but his heart is kind" Tini opened the conversation
"yes it's okay, I also understand, as a parent I definitely want the best for my child, too,"
"Let's taste the snack Zahra made her own loh Bu,"
"wah really must be delicious, right?" praised Reza's mother.
"haha not too good," Zahra replied with a hint of embarrassment, coupled with her current feeling of being worried about Reza, thinking if they were okay.
......
"you're a kid who doesn't talk much, huh?" asked Marko.
"haha no, I'm actually the most talked-about child, '" Reza replied, trying to calm down.
"then why do you feel worthy of my son" Marko said.
"of course it's because she's beautiful" she replied, not to be outdone. And finally they laughed because they felt something was funny.
"why didn't you speak earlier and only your mother spoke?" Marko began to seriously ask.
"Because he knows everything, and he knows what more I should do because my mother's blessing is God's blessing,"
"i want to know why you like my son,"
"honestly, at first I was a guy who played with women, a lot of women who chased me, some even wanted to give me what I wanted,"
"huh PD once you yes," Marko was a little upset
I hate to admit it but you do look handsome, but only a little me and my son are still much more handsome.
"haha sepetinya so, I never seriously interested in women, for me they are pathetic," There was a slight anger at Marko hearing Reza's confession back but he chose to listen to his continuation.
"but, ever since I met Zahra, I felt like there was light, I often noticed that he who went to prayer for prayer, I who initially ignored prayer was now moved to pray, two years I went to prayer for prayer only to see Zahra, I thought when he was not present I would not pray either, but it turns out I have been used to prayer ever since.
I even started praying outside. Maybe I have not been able to do much Sunnah Sunnah Apostle, but I am establishing myself and fighting. From there I saw that women were not pitiful creatures but rather they were the most precious beings that God created, the most beautiful beings, only that they themselves determined their own worth," reza said with full memory of the number of women he met
"and unfortunately many of them who lower the value of their self-esteem, they think that the price is only related to property, they think, but Zahra taught me that a woman's honor and value lies in her shameful attitude. Shame on God for sin, and Shame on the world because there is no right place but the land." - Reza.
Marko listened to Reza carefully without saying a word, he seemed to want to give hope even if only a little to Reza.
.....
"it's late in the afternoon, I'll be fine," said Reza and Reza's mother.
" yes, and. fight, son, I want to see how far you fight for my son, do not give up because there is a rival you may be the one God chose for my son," those words came out of Marko's mouth which made Reza very happy. Marko is proud of teenagers his age can dare to meet the girl's parents, rather than having to meet the girl alone like someone who can not be responsible.
"thank you very much!," Reza thanked Marko many times, as well as Reza's mother who was very happy to hear Marko's decision, although she still had to be with others.
meanwhile, Tini and Zahra hold hands, they are also happy with Marko's decision, because at least Reza has been given one chance by Marko
"remember son, no second chance for you if you let her down," Imbuh Marko who was given a Yes answer by Reza.
"what the hell is it," said Ramadhani who held back his anger filled with his frustration.
."you don't know what's going on, don't don't think we don't know who's best, remember that God's scenario is never wrong," sahut Raditya who pressed Ramadhani's hair and rattled his ngacak.
