Pursuing the Details of His Love Tasbih

Chapter 12 - Finding Answers

Ummi Nayla arranges Ameer's meeting with Hana, so that the two young men immediately talk about their arranged marriage. Of course, it makes Ameer confused how, because he was very confident in his decision to reject this matchmaking.

However, Ameer could not refuse when the mother asked for it.

"What do we need to talk about, huh?" tanya Hana started the conversation because it had been a few minutes they were together with the therapy both were silent.

Hana and Ameer are currently at Hana's sister's restaurant.

"Honestly, I don't really know what to say, either" Ameer said. "I'm confused."

"You love her so much?" hana asked calmly, even while smiling gently.

"I don't know." Ameer replied with a grimace.

"Create your heart" exclaimed Hana. "If you love her, go after her. And if you don't love her, Abi's waiting for you at home."

Hana's words made Ameer smile, even the one she had been feeling restless was now feeling calm.

"Hana, I don't promise so please don't hope" Ameer said.

"I know," said Hana then she sipped her juice. "I'm not in a hurry to get married, I still want to spend a lot of time with my parents."

"If there's a godly man proposing to you, maybe you can rethink that."

Hana laughed and nodded.

Not far from there, Riana watched over them and Riana was very curious about Ameer and Hana's decision.

"Alright, then I go first" Ameer said later. "I have to get back to the office."

"Yes" said Hana still with her gentle smile. "Don't forget to seek the answer of your own heart's desire, Ameer. That's very important" Hana warned and Ameer simply nodded.

When Ameer had left, Riana immediately approached Hana and asked what they had talked about.

"Did Ameer make a decision, Dek?" tanyakanya.

"Not yet, he's still looking for the answer." Hana's answer made Riana gawk, while the Little Sister now just gawk away.

"Hana?" call Riana.

"Don't forget to prepare your sister-in-law's lunch, Ma'am," said Hana while chuckling.

"So you went to the hospital just hungry?" ask Mami Lala who just came home.

"Why are you coming home again?" Meizia asked without caring about her question.

"As for Mama dong, this is Mama's house" replied Mami Lala a little ketus. "Other times take care of your health, Mei, you want to die in vain?"

Meizia just cheated, while her mother now took off her shoes and jacket and threw the two things carelessly.

"Ma, I beg you not to bring any more men here" said Meizia. "Then the neighbors," he added.

"Oh, May, why do we think of neighbors? We don't eat from them." Again the middle-aged woman replied with a sniffle.

"From thinking of neighbors, you better buy food there! Mama's hungry!"

Mami Lala handed me some money in Meizia. "Don't be slow, okay? My mom is so hungry!"

"Yes!" This time Meizia spoke with a sniffle anyway.

As Meizia walked past several houses, the people inside the house stared at Meizia cynically. In fact, not a few of them insult Meizia as a woman who has no self-esteem. However, Meizia had to accept all that, right? Because that is a fact.

Ameer didn't go to the office after meeting Hana. But he met one of his Grandpa who has given a lot of knowledge to Ameer since he was a child.

His grandfather lives with Sidiq, an ART worker he has worked with for decades.

The reason Grandpa Ameer did not live with one of his children was because he wanted to settle in the house he had been living with his late wife, a reason that made Ameer so admire the true love of his grandfather.

"Grandfather ate?" ameer asked as she saw the dining table was a little messy.

"Already," replied the Grandfather as he took some drinking water. "Tumben you're here in the afternoon, Meer, is there an important need?"

"Yes, Cake" replied Ameer with a lethargic look.

"Alright, we're talking in the backyard" said the Grandpa. Before leaving, he asked Sidiq to make Ameer some coffee.

"So, what do you want to say?" ask Grandpa while landing his butt on the rocking chair.

"I don't know how I'm going to tell you, Cake," Ameer said. "I'm looking for answers to difficult questions."

"Is this about women?" guess Grandpa. "I heard your father wanted to match you with Hana" he said.

"Did Abi just tell you that?" great-grandson Ameer and Grandfather nodded for sure.

"Do you want to reject that match?" Grandpa asked the question again.

"My heart doesn't want it, Cake" replied Ameer.

"Reason?"

"There's another woman in my heart."

"Oh yeah? Then just take that woman to your parents, they're not the type of parent who would force her child into something. They'll understand."

"They know but they're asking me to forget it."

"Why??"

"Because she ... she ...."

"Is there something wrong with that woman?"

"She's a woman of the night, Grandpa."
