Dio's Match

Episode 38's

"Good morning dear." Jamal said as he hugged Chia from behind, then landed a kiss called Chia.

"Morning." Chia said to answer Jamal's greeting, as his hand cut the banana sponge that Chia would feed to their ngeteh friend.

Jamal then took a piece of the banana sponge and bit him, half of which he prepared on his beloved wife.

"Sister, sit down and eat." Chia said in the mouth chewed the sponge, which was inserted by Jamal.

"Hehe! sorry baby, the banana sponge is so good." Jamal smiled, then sat down with the two cups of tea that Chia had made for the two of them.

Then Chia followed sitting, carrying a plate containing some pieces of banana sponge.

While enjoying a relaxing time, while ngeting and eating banana sponge, suddenly Chia tears wet her cheeks.

Jamal wiped his wife's tears with a gentle swipe from both hands.

Chia smiled in that cry.

"Why baby? kangen's dad, huh?" Ask Jamal gently.

"Sister knows." Chia replied as she looked at her husband.

"Tau dong, this banana sponge is my favorite. When my father was sick first, he always asked to be brought a banana sponge, even though the doctor said to be reduced first to eat sweet, worried about high sugar." Jamal recalled.

"Oh yeah? how do you fit the doctor like that?" Tanya Chia was curious.

"Dad said, this banana sponge will not hurt dad, because this banana sponge always accompanies the beauty of togetherness with his wife and daughter who are most dear to me." Jamal again.

"Haha dad.dad, there's-there's just." Said Chia who heard the story from Jamal.

"Yes, dad's cool, the doctor can only shake his head in horror." Said Jamal who also laughed reminiscing about the behavior of his father-in-law first.

"Thank you, sister, you took care of me when Chia wasn't there first." Chia leaned her body against Jamal's chest.

"Dear together, that's all you can do, it's nothing compared to the services of the father, who has taken care of you and cared for you, until finally become the most beautiful and kind princess I think gini." Jamal said while pinching the spoiled Chia's nose.

"But big brother, the edges must be dreadful." Chia said with a laugh.

"Nothing dong, than at the ends of the money." joked Jamal again.

They both chatted, accompanied by a cup of warm tea that began to recede and a plate of banana sponge that stayed a few pieces.

Jamal's treatment of Chia, always succeeds in making Chia forget whatever sadness she is experiencing. Then how not, Chia Love is growing and developing in her heart.

Seeing the situation at the pakde pesantren cottage, where it turns out Dio is there.

"Bro, you're called the same Mr. Kyai." Hendra said he conveyed the message of their teacher.

"Wow, what's wrong, bro? I don't feel like I've done anything wrong dech." Dio said as he scratched at the head that was not itchy.

"Hayo, you want to be betrothed the most." Ledek Hendra laughs.

"Ah loe bro, there's-there's just." Dio Ketus replied, which made Hendra laugh more.

Dio hurried over, to face the teacher.

Mannered and full of adab, Dio sat down and lowered his head.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kyai, you called me." Dio said very carefully.

"My son, there is something you want to tell you." Said Pakde affectionately towards his disciple.

Dio just kept quiet, and realized very well, that what his teacher was saying was true.

"But it's not about that." Continue again sir.

Jamal gasped, because he initially thought that the teacher was rebuking him for what he considered to be a mistake.

"There is a girl ayu and inshaAllah Shalihah, she is looking for a man who is ready to marry her." Said pakde who is a Kyai babysitter of the boarding school.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kyai, what can I do." Answer Dio politely.

"Look son, I mean, betrothed you to him. Her name is Bunga, she is a santriwati too." Terang.

Dio felt confused, because all this time, the cottage santri and santriwati were separated, so Dio certainly never saw the face or heard the name.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Kyai, I'm actually ashamed to say this." Dio said increasingly bowed.

"Tell me my son." Said pakde.

"Actually I was once stuck in a relationship, and committed adultery." Dio's words accompanied by tears.

"Dio's son still doing it today?" ask soft sir.

Jamal shook his head and replied, "No, Mr. Kyai."

"If Allah is ever merciful, then how can a man feel high in looking down upon the repentant sinner." Said the teacher.

"Father understands what you are thinking, but you also must not continue to fall, son, continue to repent and keep praying that God will forgive your sins. In this world, there is no one who has never sinned, God is merciful, and a person is considered to have fallen for his sins, when he repents earnestly, and does not repeat them." Pakde said, intending to encourage his student, so as not to despair of the Grace of Allah SWT.

"Thank you Mr. Kyai, please ridhonya, so that I am interested in doing good deeds.

pakde nodded his head.

"So how son, did you accept this matchmaking?" Ask pakde.

"What Mr. Kyai thinks is good, inshaAllah I according to Mr. Kyai." Dio finally entrusted his destiny to God with the guidance of the teacher he loved so much.

Long story short, the meeting with the Bunga family was done, the Bunga family seemed very happy with Dio.

"God, how handsome my daughter-in-law is." Said his mother Flower, which made Dio blush in embarrassment.

The father of the flower did not mind if his daughter was married to Dio, who was the choice of Mr. Kyai, once they called his uncle Jamal.

From behind the curtain, there was a smiling Flower, seeing that the person who would be her husband was Dio, the one who once had Bunga seen and he immediately fell in love.

"Thank God, thank God." Said Flower.

The meeting was full of warmth, the wedding day had been planned.

"It looks like the sooner the better Mr. Kyai, I can't wait to have a ghost." Said Father Flower. who greeted crisp laughter from the people present.

"Yes, I agree sir." Said pakde.

"Alright, then what about the prospective bride?" ask the student.

"I'll just say Mr. Kyai." Answer Dio.

"Alhamdulillah" said everyone.

"Bismillah, O God, if this is the best choice in my path of destiny, I sincerely accept it, Lord." Mumbled Dio in his heart.
