Me, Him, And God

15. An arranged marriage

The day that this day is Alina's engagement to the man Irawan has set. Everyone was ready to watch, even Ustadzah Nurul was present for the match of his daughter. Only one person is sad, yes, Alina. He just stared at himself in front of the mirror. He's really not ready for what's going to happen now.

"I'm sorry Mr. Tio," he said as he blocked his tears that were about to come out. The wonderful memories with his Lecturer today should just vanish. Let the wind carry her in destiny.

A while later, Alina came out with a very stunning appearance. And it certainly became the center of everyone's attention. Alina who is wrapped in a white knee-length dress that contrasts sharply with her clean white skin, as well as the hair in a neat bun, do not forget the beads plastered clearly on various strands of her hair, she said, it makes everyone unable to blink when they see it. Everyone was happy to see him, especially Irawan and Ustadzah Nurul, but not with Alina. Alina then sat on a chair that had been decorated as luxurious as possible and of course, Ustadzah Nurul Yang has now officially returned to his mother because he has pledged the holy promise a few weeks ago with Irawan, always accompanying Alina who increasingly looks agitated.

"You can definitely son," whispered Ustadzah Nurul while tightly grasping her daughter's fingers.

Alina simply nodded lethargicly while smiling forcefully.

"Alina, you get ready, soon the groom will come. Do not continue to grieve son," said Irawan who saw the engraving of his daughter's grief. While Alina can now only resign and accept the destiny that is running. There is no way he could refuse, let alone argue. Alina was only bowed until a few moments later came the family entourage of the bridegroom.

Everyone was busy shaking hands, another thing with Alina who was just downcast so that she could not see what activities everyone was doing this time.

"Oh well sir, thank you," the voice of a man who was familiar to Alina made her think again of someone who had changed her life.

Alina dared herself to look at everyone, but fate did not find a man who would become her future husband.

The show is about to start, everyone can't wait to see it. Alina did not find a man who would become her future husband.

"Bah, Alina went to the toilet for a while," Alina said as she was about to pass.

"All right, don't take long, son,"

A few minutes later, Alina was forced to return to the room where she was going to perform the engagement. But when he just entered the room..

"Ailina?!" Screaming someone Alina knew.

"Sir..Mr Tio?" Alina was also no less surprised by someone who had disappeared long enough in her life. The man is now wearing batik clothes with a black trouser that looks very fitting with his athletic body and also high.

"Lho's? You guys know each other?" Asked a middle-aged woman who was sitting next to Mr. Tio.

"In.he, the student Tio mah, who often told Tio stories at that time,"

"Oh this one?" The woman who was none other than the real mother Tio immediately approached Alina, looking at Alina from top to bottom.

Seen on the other hand, Tio swallowed his saliva deeply.

"MasyaAllah, beautiful.sit dear," the woman asked Alina to sit in the chair that had been provided. Everyone just looked confused by what they were witnessing at the moment.

"Son, so you already know him?" Tanya Ustadzah Nurul who is now officially back as Alina's parents.

"Yes mother," that's all Alina said.

"Alright, since you already know each other, we don't have to bother to introduce each other. The show starts, sir?" Irawan asked a man who was standing next to his son-in-law.

"Please sir, please. That's better,"

'What did Mr. Tio say some time ago that he would be betrothed, this is his point?' inner Alina.

The application is now finished, the prospective groom and his extended family have returned to their respective residence, Alina is unceasingly smiling considering who her future husband will be. What an unexpected destiny.

Stand off

The voice of the chat notification went to Alina's phone. Alina opened it immediately.

'Assalamu'alaikum's chat.

Alina you're asleep?'

Smile on Alina's lips when the person who sent the message was her future husband, Tio.

'Wa'alaikumussalam. Not Sir.

'Owh nice.

'Ohhh yes sir..

'Tomorrow do you have time? I want us to meet at the regular cafe'

'InshaAllah sir'

"Ciaahhh no one wants to marry me," said Della while elbowing Alina's hand.

"Della's father, not really," Alina just blushed in embarrassment.

"Btw I didn't expect anyway, which you already wanted yes. severed contact, now reunited through fate," said Della as she poked up into the sky. Yes, Alina told her everything that happened yesterday to her best friend, Della.

"Yes.how about La, I also did not expect it," said Alina.

Stand off

'Where's alina?'

"Geez! I forgot, I had an appointment, I pulled it. Daaahhhh," Alina hurriedly left Della alone as she remembered today that she had a meeting with Tio.

Alina is now walking towards Cafe Farmala. He looked around to find Tio's whereabouts.

"Dina!" Shouted someone from behind Alina. Alina just nodded then walked over to someone's desk.

"Alina how are you?" Tio then tried to open the silence.

"Okay, your own father?"

"Yes.. Thank God," Alina just nodded.

"I'm sorry,"

"For what?" Alina asked as she scrunched her forehead.

"I'm not being straight with you about matchmaking. I deliberately disappeared from you, I wanted you to forget me, and return to how it was. But in reality, destiny is not wrong to choose, however far we are, when God has said we must be together, what we can do" said Tio at length. Alina then just took a deep breath.

"Honestly, I was disappointed with you at the time. Why can't you confirm your stand. Ahh maybe I was also the one who was over-expecting," Alina simply smiled forcefully.

"I'm sorry Alina. It was my fault. But do you know, I can't argue with my parents' wishes. Yes, although I have stayed with my stance. Alina.if this time you really are my destiny, I will try to fight for you, I will not waste this opportunity. I'll prove it in a few days,"

"Well, Tio is here" said Tio, who was waving her hands behind Alina. While Alina only looks confused and turns her body to look for someone.

Shortly after, a woman who is thought to have stepped on the head of four sat beside Tio.

"Assalamu'alaikum is beautiful." Greet the woman with her friendliness.

"Wa'alaikumussalam aunty," Alina then greeted the woman's hand politely.

Alina looked towards Tio and intended to question who the woman he was with was at the moment.

"Ahh yes, Alina.introduce this to my Mama." Tio who had understood Alina's confusion immediately introduced someone who was beside her.

Yes, that woman is Fatma, Tio's biological mother.

"Wahh Tio, look out for you well if you get hurt by his future son-in-law Mama. Moreover beautiful like this, polite again," praise after praise managed to make Alina's face like boiled shrimp.

"No Ma, the Tio people are also difficult" Tio replied as he smothered his mouth.

"Ah aunty, Alina is so embarrassed,"

"Call her don't auntie dong darling, Mama aja. You'll be right again" Fatma told Alina.

"I-iya Ma" said Alina hesitantly. Tio and Fatma looked at each other and smiled.

The atmosphere is getting warmer with laughter. Luckily, Alina is a person who is adaptable to new people. None other than Tio who has his own way to get closer to Alina with his mother.

"Yes, Mama said to go home first, baby, we'll see you later. Oh yes, Tio, you anterin your wife-to-be in front of her house, if you can take her house. Mama doesn't want Mama's daughter-in-law to do anything," Fatma's word that makes Alina hold her laugh.

"Yes-iya Mah, yaudah Tio pami come home first. Did someone pick you up?"

"Udah, the Udin is already in front. Yehudah you be careful. Mom says yes, Assalamu'alaikum,"

"Come on Alina, it's almost afternoon." Tio then intends to drive Alina home. Then Tio opened the car door for Alina.

"Thank you sir" said Alina.

Tio drove his car at a moderate speed, smiling at the sleeping Alina. Her ayu face was so soothing to Tio's heart.

Pov Tio's

Today is truly the happiest day of my life. Given that I will soon achieve my wish, having a girl I crave so much, Alina, my student.

"Sir," called Alina with a lethargic face that had woken up from her sleep.

"Why?"

"Mmm did I fall asleep sir?" Ask with a guilty face. Indeed I did not choose wrongly, Alina is someone with a good personality. It's just that when he abandoned his destiny, I could understand that he had a trauma in the past. Ahh, why this thought. I stepped on the brakes slowly to stop my car.

"No papa, maybe you cape, you continue to sleep. I go down first, buy something. You don't go anywhere until I get back." Alina just nodded with my eyes hearing my orders.

I rushed down and wanted to buy something.

I got back in the car after buying something to take home. But I still watched Alina fall asleep in her sleep. Ahhh so sweet of him.

"Eh astagfirullah,"

I drove back my car at a normal speed to drive Alina home.

"My wife-to-be gets up for a while. This has arrived," I said gently as I looked at Alina who was still asleep on the back of the car.

"Ahh. mmm oh yes," he said lethargic as he rubbed his eyes with one hand.

"Mmm sir? How do you smell?" He asked while sniffing around.

"Maybe it's just your feeling" I chuckled a little at his words.

"Come on!" My teaching.

I went downstairs and opened the car door for Alina.

"Thank you sir" he said, looking fresh. I also just nodded while smiling.

They walked to Alina's house. Not forgetting Tio brought the fist he had bought.

"Assalamu'alaikum Mother,"

"Assalamu'alaikum,"

"Wa'alaikumussalam. Ehh there is son Tio, go in and in" replied Ustadzah Nurul kindly when he saw his daughter had come home.

"Ahh yes Ma'am," said Tio. They also sat on the sofa.

"Lin, how come you're home late, baby?" Ask Ustadzah Nurul.

"Sorry Mom, Alina I had lunch with me, so it was a bit late" said Tio who tried to explain to her future father-in-law.

"Oh yes papa if same nak Tio. God willing is the mother of feeling, safe," said Ustadzah Nurul made everyone in the room laugh simultaneously. Without a second thought, Tio put the crisper on the table.

"Mom, then, I'll go home first. I'm just saying Alina's safe until home."

"Ahhh alright. And here for a while, son Tio. But no papa, be careful in the way," said Ustadzah Nurul.

"Yes ma'am, I'm sorry my mom can't stay for long." Alina also drove Tio to her front of her house when Tio was about to go home.

"Oh yeah, what was that, sir?" Alina asked before Tio actually left.

"You know for yourself."

"Thank you, sir," said Alina who was only replied by a nod by Tio.

"Well, I'll go home first,"

"Ahh yes. Be careful, sir,"

Alina just smiled as Tio's car slowly disappeared.

"Is this what it feels like when a wife is about to watch her husband leave for work?" Alina's chirps that made her misbehave herself. He then went into his house.

Life, indeed goes according to a planned destiny. As far as you are with desire, when it is already yours, then you will get, but either in a fast time, or the right time\`\`)
