Raihan and Yusuf seemed to be busy chatting, they discussed various kinds of science related to religious matters. Raihan seemed serious to listen to every enlightenment conveyed by Joseph, sometimes the two young people of different generations were smiling and laughing when discussing things that they thought sounded funny and fun.

"Sister, so when is halal with brother Zahra? don't wait long, you will be taken by people!" raihan's circus with a carefree smile, because it deliberately tempts Yusuf, so that their chatter is not monotonous to discuss serious things. So that causes tension if the discussed is always a realigi thing. Sometimes you have to laugh jokes.

"God willingly, Rai. I await the arrival of Ummi and Abi first, God willing, they will come here tonight." Joseph seemed to tremble when discussing the things that led to his marriage with the figure of Zahrana, the woman he loved so much.

"O Allah, why does my chest feel like it's pounding. That holy angel has really stolen all my heart and soul" Joseph said, trying to neutralize his heartbeat.

"Alhamdulillah, Raihan is glad to hear it Brother. It would be a great privilege if Joseph's brother could be Raihan's sister-in-law!" raihan exclaimed with a happy face.

"God willing, may Allah make matters easy, so that we can immediately make this relationship a reality!" joseph's light was full of hope that he would soon mate with Zahrana.

In the midst of their conversation, Zahrana came to the two.

"Hemmm ... seems very exciting the story, again talking about what?" sarkas Zahrana with ice fruit for Joseph and Raihan also various types of light snacks for both.

"Maa, Allah, do not bother Ra. This has been mostly" said Joseph with a glance at the face of his beloved.

"Alhamdulillah .. there happens to be sustenance, Brother. So, can serve the good to be served, brother is also too good to Zahra and family," said Zahrana with a typical smile, showing, making Joseph's heart more touched by the tenderness of the angel before him.

"Thank you for everything, Ra!" yusuf said by tasting fruit ice served by Zahrana.

"Sama-sama, Brother. Zahra went to the kitchen first, wanted to prepare our dinner later before the arrival of Ummi Yasmin and Abi Farhan," said Zahrana, leaving in front of Joseph and Raihan.

"Buya Aaron where, brother?" raihan asked while spooning ice fruit into his mouth.

"Again in the chicken coop, he said he wanted to take chicken eggs and also catch chickens to be cut, welcoming the presence of prospective besan." Zahrana deliberately pressed the word candidate besan, so that he and Joseph did not look awkward and stiff.

Joseph smiled, his heart felt flowery by the words of his future he who had unintentionally signaled that they both must be immediately lawful in order to avoid things that are not desired by God.

"Rai, what if we also help Buya to get the job done quickly!" take Joseph with enthusiasm.

"By, Brother." Raihan was no less enthusiastic, he and Yusuf immediately changed into casual clothes before meeting Buya Aaron at his chicken farm which has now grown rapidly behind his house.

Yusuf only wore knee-length casual pants and a white t-shirt top. Up to show his stout posture, and overgrown with fine hairs around his arms and legs makes Zahrana not blink staring at the muscular body of the gallant pus, in addition to the fine feathers that adorn the face of the young man increasingly made Zahrana stunned by the figure of the young man who was very admired by him from long ago to this second, too, the feeling grew and flowered in the garden of his innermost heart.

"Maaa Allah .. Strengthen the faith of Your servant, O Lord!" bathin Zahrana immediately lowered her gaze. After that his heart was stunned by the unusual sight seen by him from the figure of Yusuf Amri Nufail Syairazy.

Zahrana immediately helped Mother Fatimah wrestle in the kitchen, while Yusuf and Raihan walked together to the chicken farm, met Buya Harun Al Aziz, to just help Buya Aaron on his farm.

The sun began to sink in the western horizon, the sky began to look dark. At the Zahrana residence each of its residents was finished with their respective duties. They were preparing to welcome the arrival of Joseph's parents Amri Nufail Syairazy ba'da Magrib.

Meanwhile, Buya Harun, Raihan and Yusuf have been preparing to go to Al Ikhlas Mosque, to perform Maghrib prayer. Meanwhile, Zahrana and Mother Fatimah prefer to pray at home.

"Mother, Son Zahra. Father and Nak Yusuf also Raihan, go to the mosque first!" buya Aaron represents Joseph and Raihan.

After saying farewell to Zahrana and Mother Fatimah the three different men of the generation immediately went to the mosque while Zahrana and Mother Fatimah also immediately performed the ritual wudhunya, while waiting for I looked at the Adhan.

Zahrana seemed touched by his heart when he heard the call of the Adhan that echoed so sweetly like I saw the adhan Billal bin Rabah in his day.

"God, this time I listened to this semerdu Adhan, truly touching the heart and soul," Zahrana said with tears in her eyes.

"Really, I can feel this vibration. I'm sure this must be Joseph's brother" bathin Zahrana assured. He immediately went to his room and spread his alphabet as usual. Then immediately perform prayer services and also tilawah Qur'an is always a spiritual meal for Zahrana every time finished performing prayer 5 times.

On the way home from the mosque.

Buya Harun, Raihan and Yusuf cross paths with Aslan Abdurrahman Syatir who also performs Magrib prayer at Al Ikhlas Mosque.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Buya?" greet Aslan by extending his hand to Buya Aaron.

"Wa'alaikumsalam warahmatullahi, son Aslan how are you?" asked Buya Aaron politely.

"Alhamdulillah, Good Buya." Aslan glanced at Yusuf Amri Nufail Syairazy.

Realizing Aslan's gaze was fixed on Yusuf, Buya Harun also introduced Yusuf to Aslan Abdurrahman Syatir.

"Son Aslan, this is Yusuf santri Buya's son, he has not been here for a long time, after 4 years of education in Cairo-Egypt!" bright Buya Aaron with a twinkle of a happy face.

Aslan and Yusuf shook hands, and the two remembered the story of how many years ago.

"Wasn't he the young man who helped Zahrana when he fell on the steps of the stairs? He also advised Zahrana when at Pantai Indah Memories Bersama, when Zahrana chose to end our relationship at that time?" bathin Aslan in disbelief when he saw the figure of Joseph who now looks very religious and mighty.

"Subhanallah .. isn't he the young man who was Zahrana's special friend the other day? nawk! for once I will not let Zahra get close to any man, let alone date him like before. God willing, I will soon be preaching Zahrana tonight!" bathin Yusuf was full of affirmation.

"Well, is this young man named Joseph here? there was no way he would propose to Zahrana why it felt like my heart was being pinched. I don't think I'd be willing if Zahrana would be proposed soon and married to another man" Aslan's heart started to unsettle.

Joseph vs. Aslan, now each of the two also seemed to compete with each other healthily to win the heart of a Zahrana. It appears from the gaze and body language both are equally tense to get a Zahrana.😂😂

Both were finally stunned by their respective attitudes, when they heard Raihan's babble.

"Sister Aslan, brother Yusuf, long session of his salaman. Raihan is sure you guys know each other for how many years. The difference is, now brother Joseph already looks mighty and very religious!" circus Raihan makes Buya Harun, Yusuf and Aslan feel surprised to hear the unfiltered speech of the teenager. The three turned to Raihan Arman Habibie.
