Pursuing the Details of His Love Tasbih
Chapter 1 - Touching His Heart
"You're 30 years old, we want to take your granddaughter away from you, Ameer."
Ameer is a handsome man who is the youngest son of Abi Zaid, the owner of the Ar-Raihan Madrasah.
Ameer could only grimace at hearing the mother's complaint for the fourth time.
"Ummi, it's not that I don't want to get married. But his soul mate had not yet come" said Ameer, then he put a spoonful of fried rice into his mouth.
Currently, Ameer and her parents are having breakfast together as usual while Ameer's brothers Shafa and Marwa are married and living with their husband.
"The man can't just wait for a soul mate to come, Ameer, you have to make an effort to find him" Abi Zaid said.
"I'm trying" said Ameer.
"Had found him? Or do you have a certain dream woman?" ask the mother.
"Actually not yet" replied Ameer who again grinned, making his mother grumpy.
"What about Hana?" Ameer's pupils instantly widened as her father mentioned her cousin's sister's name.
"She .. masayallah, good woman," Ameer said truthfully.
"You want us to match him?" asked the mother again, this time she looked at Ameer expectantly.
"No need to answer now, you can think about it first."
Ameer thought for a moment, it felt like every man would want Hana as a wife. His cousin's sister was not only beautiful, but she was also a Qur'an memorizer and even won a loma memorizing the Qur'an at the national level.
"I'll think about it" Ameer said later. "Now I have to go." The man gulped down his drinking water, after which he kissed the hands of his parents in turn.
"Don't forget later in the afternoon there is a study, Ameer," exclaimed the mother reminded her son.
"Yes, Ummi, God willing I will fill out the study."

"I heard Abi was going to match you with Ustaz Ameer, you want, Hana?"
Hana Karimah, the woman who had just returned from the pesantren could only laugh a little while getting such a question from Riana, she said.
"If I was up to Abi, ma'am," said Hana. "I've decided to marry whomever Abi chooses."
"Isssh, your filial piety does not need to be doubted," said Riana.
"It's not so," argued Hana. "I'm a girl, I don't have a boyfriend so I can't decide who my husband is. My struggle is only through do'a, and if Abi brings a man for me, then maybe that's the answer from my do'a" Hana said at length.
"What about Ameer? Does he fit the contents of your prayer?" seductive Riana who immediately made Hana's face blush.
"Not to be answered, the look on your face has said everything" Shafa exclaimed with a laugh. "I'll tell Abi, let your marriage take place immediately."
"Mak Shafa, don't!" prevent Hana but it was too late, her brother had already slid out of her room while yelling to call their father.

This business has only been running for 3 years and so far everything has gone smoothly.
When it is noon and entering the time of prayer Dzuhur, as usual Ameer will stop his activities to fulfill the call of his Rabb.
After finishing the prayer, Ameer and Rizal went to a restaurant not far from the mosque for lunch.
"I order rice and roasted chicken, just drink water" Ameer told the waiter.
"I want one roast chicken, one roast duck and orange juice" Rizal said, giving Ameer a chuckle. His friend ate more of him.
"Okay, sir, we'll process the order soon" said the waiter.
"The restaurant is quite crowded" Rizal said. Ameer looked around and the restaurant was indeed more crowded than before.
Ameer's gaze stopped on a woman sitting in the corner, the woman stared out the window blankly.
Suddenly another woman came patting him on the shoulder. The woman smiled briefly, a smile that did not reach her eyes.
The woman enjoyed her lunch in silence. His face looks flat.
"Who is that woman?" murmured Ameer inwardly, for some reason she could not stop looking at the woman until suddenly the woman also looked at her.
For a while the two looked at each other until finally the woman moved from her seat and left her friend.
Ameer felt the woman was leaving because of her, because she kept looking at the woman.
"Your order, Sir!" a waiter came with Ameer and Rizal's order.
"You eat first, I want to go for a while," said Ameer then he rushed after the woman earlier.
Ameer found the woman in the parking lot. "Wait!" ameer shouted to stop the woman who was about to get into her car.
The woman looked surprised at Ameer's arrival, let alone the man now walking up to her.
"Are you leaving because of me?" ask Ameer without further ado. "you haven't finished eating, but you're gone. Is it because I keep looking at you? I don't know why I can't stop looking at you either" Ameer said at length honestly.
"Yes, you make me uncomfortable" replied the woman coldly then she got into her car. Ameer was just silent on the spot, for some reason now her heart was pounding.
"Oh my God, what's wrong with me? Why does his look touch my heart?"
