After school, Aish did not go home. Carrying herself towards the garden, the woman let out a long sigh to calm down for a moment while twisting her knuckles, agitated.
The day after tomorrow, for the business of a lifetime, he could not decide quickly. Just this morning he told Abi about his decision after going through a long and Istikharah meditation last night. Although his heart still had doubts, but Aish fought against those feelings. Really, all he did for Abi's happiness.
Aish returns home as the sun begins to return to the contest. Long enough he pondered in silence to convince his heart. Again, what was on his mind did not want to disappoint Abi.
"Just come home, son?" Abi Zayid welcomed Aish's hand after greeting him.
The thirty-two-year-old woman nodded with a small smile. But that smile could not hide the sadness in the look in his eyes.
Abi Zayid rubbed Aish's head. Can see the gloom covered in his daughter's face.
"Bring up more istikharah, son, do more prayers to God." His advice was short, knowing that his daughter was in doubt. The amount of advice will make this daughter more burdened.
"Yes Abi," said Aish slowly and then permission to enter the room. Abi did not want to see the darkness he was hiding.

That thrilling day finally arrived as well. Time passed very quickly in these two days. The family of Adam came to his house.
Abi welcomed them with joy and gave the best banquet. Can Aish see the look on Abi's very happy face. Especially when talking warmly with his prospective iron.
The taaruf proposal he chose fell to Adam. What Aish actually took was because it was the last proposal he read. In addition, he and Abi have known the man who is a teacher in their boarding school. That is also one of Aish's considerations, because it does not have to be difficult to get acquainted again.
Although they knew him, the man never insisted on asking Abi for an answer. Can be seen from the position of the proposal stacked at the bottom. It means that the proposal has been in his house for months. But Aish refused to touch him.
Abi tells a lot about Adam, how the man's attitude and kindness to better convince Aish. Until finally Aish accepted all of it sincerely without coercion for Abi's reason again. That's what Abi is great about, convincing without arguing with him.
When the family of Adam expressed the purpose and purpose of his arrival to preach. Abi asked for his opinion, all decisions were left to him.
Aish gave a small nod to Abi in response.
The old man smiled broadly at the back of his daughter's hand with blissful happiness. Both families agreed that the marriage would take place in two months, the day and date they decided that day.
A week after the sermon passed, today Adam asked Abi for permission to invite Aish to prepare for all their marriage needs. He handed over all the concepts and decorations in accordance with what his future wife wanted.
Although Aish says whatever, but the shady man still wants Aish to choose everything. They went with Adam's younger brother, Ayesha.
After visiting the wedding organizer and choosing the concept and place as the woman wants. Adam invites Aish to see the house he wants to buy for them to occupy later. He made an appointment with the owner of the house.
"Ustadz, is this not excessive, we can stay at Abi's house for a while." Sela Aish when Adam expressed his intention to take Aish to a housing complex.
"Ustadz?" The man sitting in front of the steering wheel furrowed his brows with half a laugh looking back at a glance then focused on driving the car back.
Aish is made to blush embarrassed by the crisp laughter of the man who became her future husband.
"It's getting used to it, it's not nice if the call is changed" Aish said.
Aisyah did not debate the words of her future sister-in-law. He turned to Adam then said with a manyun face when he realized their name was almost the same.
"What did you call Aish's mom? Ai's time is just like mine."
"Zaujati," replied Adam briefly which made Aish blush more and more embarrassed. Throw his eyes out on the street.
"Ish Abang put Mbak Aish to shame," Aisyah pinched her brother's waist.
"Keep calling what? Ai one, Ai two, is that it?"
"Alright, that's not it. Our time is called like a duckling who wants to line up!" Aisyah Protest.
Aish chuckled at the brother and sister debate. Until they arrived at a tiny house with a two-story building. The page is wide, in the backyard there is a sports spot. And it turns out there is also a shooting practice area.
Is beautiful. Aish's first impression when looking at the building which is dominated by gray and white paint. They were invited by middle-aged mothers who took care of the house around while waiting for the owner of the house to come.
Adam just got word that the one with the house is coming a little late.
"So you should buy this house, anyway" Aisyah commented very excitedly.
"What you want to live here is not you" Adam said. Suddenly Aisyah's bright face became cloudy.
"How do you like this house?" Asked a young man who came with his warm smile. The smile turned cold when he saw Aish there.
"Like, the same one who has a house also likes!" Seloroh Aisyah fast.
"Ai," rebuked Adam with a shady look.
"Hehe, kidding Brother."
"Mas Geo owns this house?" Ask Adam to be amazed. He had met several times with a man who had just become a santri at the boarding school where he taught.
"So Adam's Ustadz wants to buy this house?" Geo smiled faintly and took his guest to sit in the garden of the house and asked his aunt to make him a drink.
He deliberately did not use a property agent to be an intermediary to sell his house. I want this house to fall on the right person. When he heard there were people looking for a house to be used as a gift to his future wife Geo immediately agreed to meet.
"God willing, my future wife loves this house." Adam's voice was soft, while Aish was silent. Honestly he admired this house from the first time he saw it. Didn't know Geo was the owner.
"I made this house for my future wife Ustadz, she really likes this concept. With a large courtyard and an open sports venue. But fate says otherwise, he is already happy with his destiny. So I decided to sell this house." Clearly Geo with a bitter smile.
Of course that explanation made Aish's heart tremble. For some reason, it does not feel willing if this other person's dream house he becomes the owner later.
