MARRIED THE GODDESS OF GAMBLING

37. Decisions

lensi's face was very agitated, as he looked at Ustad Gofur's face looked so serious. The bearded man sat down at the table and then glanced at Lensi who was down.

"How did Bi go?" ask Aisyah.

"No need to question. What is certain is that Abi is getting embarrassed. Their family refused unequivocally, if the daughter was polygamous. Even his daughter wanted to retreat even with tears." Answer Ustad Gofur.

Ibrahim and Lensi were both bowed. Lensi wanted to make a sound, but her voice felt choked in the throat. Ustad Gofur suddenly pulled out a white ceramic box. The box contained a binding ring, which Ibrahim gave to his future wife. Ustad Gofur then placed the box on the table with a sigh.

"Ustad Sobir was very disappointed. Even he refused, when I said he wanted to compensate all the money he spent on wedding expenses" continued Ustad Gofur.

"I'm sorry if I sassy Ustad. Sorry if I interrupted Ustad. I apologise for causing chaos in the Ustad family. I lied about spending the night with Ibrahim. We never did that at all."

"I originally wanted to prank Ibrahim, but I didn't expect anything like this. Please believe my words, I am not pregnant either. I just catch a cold, because for hours swimming in the river," continued Lensi.

Ustad Gofur became confused when he heard Lensi's words. Lensi sighed for a moment before finally telling a story.

"Actually I came here accidentally, because I was being chased by people from gambling clubs. Because they did not accept I won the gambling competition. So I ran away from that place, but fateful because of urgency I was forced to drop from the bridge, and ended up in this boarding school" continued Lensi.

"How did you break in?" ask Ustad Gofur.

"I jumped over the fence." Lensi's answer made Ustad Gofur chuckle.

"That's it. Do not be afraid, just because Abraham did not marry another woman. Wouldn't it be nice to be the only woman?" ask Ustad Gofur who wants to test Lensi.

"Eh? no need for Ustad. It's better to explain Ustad with my story. I'm being honest this time" said Lensi.

"After all, Ustad would lose having a daughter-in-law like me. Ustad must be ashamed. I am a wayward person. The gambling man, not hijab, severe socialization, and for sure I am not good at teaching and rarely pray 5 times. Ustad's position will definitely be wiped out," continued Lensi.

"Maybe what he said is true. But strange, usually the girls scramble to be married by Baim, including the Santriwati dipesantren. But why does he seem disinterested and reject my son?" the Inner Ustad Gofur.

"So Ustad. From the whole story that I said earlier, I'm sorry to say goodbye and apologize for making a mistake" said Lensi who then stood up from his seat and stepped away.

"Wait!" Ustad Gofar made Lensi's footsteps stop instantly.

"Because you've admitted to making a mess, don't you want to make amends?" ask Ustad Gofar.

Lensi turned around the body instantly. The girl thought Ustad Gofar wanted to ask for compensation in the form of materials, which she certainly could afford.

"Of course Ustad. I will compensate whatever the cost," said Lensi who returned to sit.

"We don't need money, because we never feel deprived. Since you have made a mess, you must marry Ibrahim."

Ustad Gofur's words were like lightning to Lensi. He did not expect, because lost he even got a mate.

"If you don't marry her, we're even more humiliated. All invitations are scattered. Try to imagine in 3 days there should be a wedding, but it was canceled. All the buildings, food, clothing, everything will be destroyed."

"If you're talking about your bad behavior, you don't have to worry. Insha Allah Baim can be a good priest to you" Ustad Gofur said.

Lensi glanced towards Baim. He knew the man didn't like him. The man was seen stirring his food with a sour face.

"I'm confused why is this? I've been honest to be honest. But why would they want to save their shame, instead of thinking about the impact of marrying her son to an embezzled girl like me," Inner Lensi.

"I couldn't do it anyway. When she became Baim's wife, she was told by Hafiz Qur'an. Negafalin letter Ar-Rahman only days,"

Aisyah suddenly broke Lensi's daydream by grabbing her hand. Aisyah grasped it gently, with the biggest smile on her lips.

"Umi believes you can be a good wife to Baim. In the past when not hijrah, Umi is not much different from you. But Allah is so dear to Umi that Umi is met with your Abi."

"So good people need a process. Umi can feel, if Lensi is a good girl. Umi believes Lensi can, of course," Aisyah continued.

Lensi stared fixedly at Aisyah's eyes. The eyes of a loving mother. No one can refuse it. Lensi then sighed, before finally returning to his voice.

"There's one more thing I need to tell you. I am not a parent-observant child. I lived alone outside because I ran away from home. My father married again, and had a child. But if this marriage can save your reputation, I'm willing to help."

"Whatever happens in the future, I'll give it all up with destiny. Maybe this way I can have a family that is really family" continued Lensi.

Ustad Gofur and Aisyah looked at each other. They could see that Lensi's face was suddenly sad. Although they did not know what Lensi had been through all this time, but they were sure it was not something good.

"Give your parents an address. Let me come directly to propose to you. Even if you run away from home, your marriage guardian needs to be made clear" Ustad Gofur said.

"There is no need to come directly Ustad. Let's just call later. Ustad will know what all of my words mean,"

"Is that not polite to her name?" ask Ustad Gofur.

"Ustad don't worry. Ustad will know what Ustad's interlocutor will be like." Answer Lensi.

"Emmm...Baims. Can I borrow your phone? my phone was gone when I fell into the water" asked Lensi.

Ibrahim lazily pulled out his phone and thrust it towards Lensi. Lensi rushes to type a few digits of the number, which is none other than his own mobile number.

Meanwhile Okta and her friends are sleeping because they are tired, including Arman. They are still gathered at Lensi's apartment. After discussing, they fell asleep.

Okta was disturbed, when she heard the ringing of the phone from Hp Lensi. But when he remembered his best friend, he rushed to reach for the phone and received a call from an unknown number.
