Bruaaack...
Eliza and Afnan decided to look at them in shock at the falling object. They looked towards the source of the voice.
"Iii. my fish." cried Eliza when she saw a cat dragging with difficulty the fish was big enough to go.
"That's it, there's not one more. After all, it was the cat's sustenance. It's sitting there let me fry the fish anyway your hands are hurting" said the afnan who took over the knife beside Eliza.
"Let me help..!!" eliza's words surprised afnan.
"Something's getting noticed...?" god afnan with a sweet smile parked beautifully on his face.
"Opaan sich, I want to help you anyway just let a spit. I'm laper if I help it get done faster. No need to be a gentleman." denied eliza upset.
"Yes, thank you, let you smooth the roof let me whistle the fish" said afnan.
Eliza began to take all the herbs that the afnan told her that she then pureed.
Braak...
Afnan was shocked by what his wife did.
"It's not like that" said afnan stopped the activities of Eliza.
"If you are that strong, not only the roof will be destroyed but also the ulekan will be destroyed." he continued.
"Trus how, I don't know." said Eliza defended herself.
"This is how." said afnan holding the ulekan along with the hand of Eliza who holds the ulekan. Afnan began to exemplify how to smooth the seasoning, while Eliza continuously stared at afnan.
Moments later the afnan stopped his hand and released his grip on Eliza. Makes Eliza sober from her daydream.
"Eemm. ok I can. "he said wrong behavior.
"oo yes I continued whistling the fish" said Afnan.
After a while, their fish finally matured. Eliza looked at the fish and heard her eyes sparkle.
"Waow, it looks good" said Eliza who immediately took a piece of the fish and started eating it.
"Hemmm.". This is really good." said Eliza who really enjoyed her food.
Afnan who saw his wife happy with his cooking smiled sweetly and began to eat.
A few minutes later they finished with their breakfast. Afnan walked out without saying a word to Eliza. While Eliza got a job to wash their dinnerware earlier.
After finishing washing the dishes, Eliza approached the afnan outside the house. Seen afnan was talking to a middle-aged man across the street.
"Afnan.." cried eliza.
Sontak afnan turned to the source of the voice, and found his wife who was standing at the door.
"Let's go now. That taxi was waiting from earlier. " said afnan who apparently had ordered a taxi earlier.
"Oh. wait a minute, I take the bag first." said Eliza who then ran into the room to take her bag.
In the way afnan busy reading slowly small qur'an in his hand. Eliza is bored playing music on her phone.
Other place.
"Zinc.dira.!!" call rizky when you cross paths with nadira.
"Yes ustads." replied the subtle nadira.
"Can I talk to you for a second.. ?" ask rizky.
"Em. but ustads. "
"Just for a second, we can sit in a chair under a tree near that field.. !!" said Rizky who then walked first on the nadira after the back.
"I just want to make sure, do you really accept the decision of both our parents.. ?" ask rizky.
"Didn't I have answered last night, do the Utads not trust me. Then why come to propose to me.?" said Nadira who turned out rizky last night had proposed to nadira.
FLASHBACKS...
Rizky walked towards the house of Pak yai which is located beside the pesantren.
"Assalamu'allaikum. "greetings rizky.
"Wa'allaikum salam, please enter son. " replied abi.
"Can I help you, sir.?"
"So gini, yesterday sirah haji came here to talk about his daughter's marriage" explained pak yai.
"I mean mr. yai.. ? neng nadira... ?" ask rizky.
"Yes, "
"Sorry before, sir, but as we all know, bawha gus afnan is married, then what do you mean by neng nadira wedding planning.. ?" rizky asked confused.
"Hhhh. Yes you are right. But the plan is not for afnan, but you want rizky. "
"Ap.. have I not misheard.. ?" rizky said surprised, and felt disbelief in what he heard.
"Sorry before because I interfered about nak rizky's life. I just think that this rizky boy is old enough to get married, and also nak Nadira is a good girl and from a good family as well. moreover, rizky son I have considered as my own child." explained abi at length.
"If it's best for me according to mr. yai, I will accept it. But what about neng nadira.. ? I'm not so sure if neng nadira is willing to marry me " said Rizky who felt discouraged.
"Because it's later tonight pick up your mother and we'll visit the rahmad hajj house. "clearly abi approved by rizky.
Rizky then bounces off to pick up her mother.
Rizky's father has been dead since he was a child. And he was only raised by his mother alone until he was offered to study in pesantren without having to pay a penny. And now he became an ustads who teach in pesantren and earn income to support his mother.
At nightfall, Rizky and her mother approached Pak yai and bu yai who were waiting for her in the car. After entering the car, Rizky started driving slowly towards Nadira's house.
After some time they have arrived in front of Nadira's house, Rizky out of the car with a feeling of unworthiness. He is afraid of being rejected raw nadira raw because he is not comparable to the gus afnan who was once betrothed to nadira first.
"Assalamu'allaikum" said abi.
"Wa'allaikum salam. You guys are here, come on in.!!" answer rahmad.
Rizky walked slowly with a mind that continued to pray do'a to calm her heart.
"Please sit.!!" rahmad said to allow sitting for his guests.
"Mom.. Please call nadira.!!" pinta sir rahmad to his wife who sat next to him.
"Well bah.wait a minute. "he replied who then walked to the nadira room.
Soon Nadira walks out with her mother in a blue hijab that makes her face glow.
Rizky seemed to be festering looking at the face of ayu nadira that made her heart more and more unbecoming, before she never looked at that face because it was inappropriate. Moreover, Nadira used to be a woman who was betrothed to gus afnan which added that he never thought even though how nadira looks.
Mr. rahmad and abi who looked at Rizky smiled.
"Ghmmm.". "the murmur of pak rahmad resuscitated rizky from his gaze to the nadira who then beristiqfar.
"So we get to the point. Nak nadira my arrival, my wife, rizky and also her mother here there is a need to propose nak nadira to nak rizky. I hope nak nadira can accept this regardless of me and also pesantren" said Abi.
Nadira who heard that was immediately shocked and looked at rizky with a frown.
"Son, your current age is enough to get married and you really want to see you married, rizky has a pretty good personality and even he is an ustads. I think this plan is very good for you ", said Mr. Rahmad.
Nadira did not answer immediately and he began to sink into his daydream, making everyone worried about Nadira's answer.
