Meet a Mate in Pesantren

Chapter 48

Mr. Umar came home to work feeling confused, the look of his face bent to make Ummah curious.

"Is there a problem at work ?" ask Ummah.

"The problem is not about work but about our child" replied Mr. Umar while sitting on the bedside.

"Our son?, Syifa was fine from earlier he was in the room, Abian what's with Abian ?".

Mr. Umar told the goodwill of the family Kyai Hasan, but Ummah was immediately surprised if Syifa had to choose.

"Bi why did Syifa have to choose ?".

"Because the two children of Kyai Hasan are equally fond of Syifa" explained Mr. Umar.

There was worry in Ummah's heart, but he had to ask his son first, because all the decisions were in Asyifa's hands.

After the dinner, Mr. Umar gathers his family members, he intends to tell the request of Kyai Hasan. all have gathered including Abian and Shela. Pak Umar began to tell stories. Syifa just looked down to listen to what Abinya said, which made her surprised it turns out she had to choose between brother and sister.he only realized that Fariz also liked it.

"Syifa do you have any other choice but them ? Kyai Hasan and his family will come in three days" said Mr. Umar.

"Can I tell you something ?" asyifa asked doubtfully.

"Can, we are family so if among you there is a problem you must tell a story so that we can help solve it" said Mr. Umar.

"Bi before Syifa was sick, Ustaz Bani had given Syifa a letter, the letter was about his intention to preach Syifa, but the letter had not been reciprocated Syifa" Syifa explained.

"Don't you reject Bani, so that you don't reply to the letter ?" ask Mr. Umar.

"Not refusing nor accepting, Syifa could not make such a big decision if without asking for opinions from family, Syifa also doubted the age of Syifa and Ustaz Bani quite different, far enough, and that makes Syifa more doubt ustaz Bani at that time failed to menghitah Ustazah Salwa for no apparent reason and that makes Syifa shocked again when Kak Robby married Ustazah Salwa. Syifa is afraid of just being a escape ustaz Bani" explained Syifa made everyone shocked, Abi Umar know that Bani failed to tell Salwa but Mr. Umar did not know Salwa who was meant to turn out to be the wife of his nephew Robby.

"When with Fariz ?" ask Ummah.

"Sister Fariz was kind, caring and loving but he never showed his love for Syifa" Jawan Syifa certainly.

"Don't follow your heart, for he will be your priest, age is not a matter of many married people ten to fifteen years apart but they remain harmonious". clearly Mr. Umar advised his son.

"Bi Syifa's age is still nine eleven years is it appropriate to be married ?" ask Syifa .

"The marriage is no age limit.but the state requirement is mandatory seventeen years and above. "Nak pray for guidance, pray istikharah to give a definite answer" said Umar.

After they finished they returned to their respective rooms - each Syifa returned with an uncertain feeling why he had to choose. Abian followed his wife into the room.

"Darling who do you think deserves Syifa ?" ask Abian to his wife.

"why do you ask like that, whoever you choose is the best of the good" Shela replied.

"It's a shame that I asked for an opinion about Bani and Fariz according to you as women" Abian said.

"If I think Fariz is gentle, if Bani is firm and rigid" Shela replied.

"That means Fariz fits Syifa better !" Abian Seru.

"Yes, it's up to Syifa to choose, now is the time to nengokin our dear son, he's missed his father" said Abian flirtatious.

"Not the son misses his father but his father who misses the cave of heaven world" said Shela made Abian smile, Finally they did battle even though slowly but still make them both float - kite.

Two days passed when Syifa had prayed istikharah but he still doubted his choice, although the shadow often appears in his dreams but he remains doubtful but from the deepest little heart he has been steady to choose someone, but in his mouth there is always a doubt to make him worry. Syifa was pondering, Sister Shela came over to them.

"Beautiful sister why the moody ?" ask Shela.

"Syifa can tell a story" said Syifa leaned her body on the shoulder of the sister-in-law.

"Of course you can dong, the most beautiful sister" said Shela while caressing the head of the sister.

"Syifa hesitated with Syifa's choice".

"Why doubt ?".

"If Syifa becomes his companion later what Syifa deserves, Syifa is afraid not appropriate to accompany him later" said Syifa Lirih.

"Can't you know who Syifa's gonna pick later ?".

Syifa also whispered the name to the sister-in-law "Kak Shela promised never to tell anyone yes" Syifa pinta.

"Yes, sister Shela promised".

"What about Brother Shela ?".

"Hmm whoever your choice is, it must be the best, I'm sure you're an adult and definitely know who is the best of the good for you" said Shela to make Syifa a little relieved. "Wikah it does not have to be with the same age, sister shela and brother abian difference of three years, Abi and Umi difference of five years, even their mother and father Sak Shela different almost nine years, even their mother and father Shela, thank God they are harmonious and harmonious, maturity is not about age but about the mindset of life" said Shela advising her sister.

The day that was waiting arrived, the family Kyai Hasan will come in the afternoon after the Ashar prayer, at the house of Asyifa is preparing various food menus that will be served.

Mr. Umar went to Asyifa's room "Son do you have a choice ?" ask Mr. Umar.

"God willing is Abi, but did Abi and Ummah agree with Syifa's choice ?" ask Syifa back.

"Our son as your parents, we support what will be your choice while it is good" replied Mr. Umar as he embraced Ashifa. "You are an adult, you will soon be married" said Mr. Umar Haru, he did not expect that his daughter had found her soul mate.

Fariz had prepared a bracelet as a sign to worship Asyifa as well as Bani he had prepared a ring as a sign of his preaching.of course the ring was different from the time ring when he wanted to worship Salwa.

Today Fariz and Bani did not go to work.he prefers to be at home preparing themselves - each after the prayer dzuhur Abah and his family have gathered including Zahwa and his small family.

"Inget Abah requirements what ?" ask Abah to have her two sons remember the terms.

"Yes we will accept it with ichalas without any grudges" replied Fariz and Bani compact.

"What do we do to set the date ?" ask Zahwa.

"We are just discussing it, for the date we discuss it again later".
