Pursuing the Details of His Love Tasbih

Chapter 3 - Want to Get Closer

"Abi is actually a little disappointed by Ameer's rejection, but we can't impose our desires on others."

Hana only nodded in understanding when she heard the father's explanation of Ameer's rejection, although in fact Hana felt a little disappointed and sad because she had hoped Ameer would accept this matchmaking.

"Not to be sad." Riana comforted the sister while smiling. "Maybe you are compatible in our eyes, but if it is not compatible in the eyes of God, we must surrender."

"I understand, Ma'am," said Hana who tried to endure her grief. "I'll go to the room first."

"Don't be sad, son," exclaimed the father. "Abi believes God has prepared the best soul mate for you as well as for Ameer."

"Aamiin's."

Ameer told her parents about Meizia, although she did not seem to like it when Ameer said Meizia did not wear the hijab. However, they try to believe in Ameer's choice.

"When can we meet his parents?" ask Abi Zaid.

"Nr ...." Ameer scratched his head. "Actually I don't really know Meizia yet, we only met twice so we couldn't possibly see her parents" Ameer said, letting her parents sigh.

"Astagfirullah, son," muttered the Mother. "So you rejected Hana just because of the girl you only met twice?"

"I'm sorry, Ummi, I somehow feel very interested in her. I felt an unusual pounding in my heart," Ameer said honestly.

"Don't let you marry her just because she's beautiful or attractive in your eyes, Ameer, choose a woman according to our beliefs" Abi Zaid reminded.

"God, Bi."

The next day, Ameer and Rizal return to the restaurant where he first saw Meizia. In fact, Ameer asked to be shown a cctv recording so that he could find Meizia.

"You're in love, Ameer?" tease Rizal while chuckling.

"I want to marry her," said Ameer who made Rizal immediately gaping wide.

Both men are currently in the control room of the restaurant. "Well, here it is!" ameer exclaimed as she saw Meizia from the cctv recording.

"I want the picture" said Ameer.

"Sir, this video is live" said the man who helped Ameer.

"meaning?" ask Ameer doesn't understand.

"This isn't a recording, sir."

Ameer's pupils instantly widened when she realized what the man meant.

"What does Meizia mean in this restaurant now?"

"Right, sir, and if I'm not mistaken."

"Thank God, O Allah. Maybe this is what is called a soul mate will not go where.

Rizal just chuckled at what Ameer said, it seems that the man is really in love right now, Rizal thought.

Ameer Langung approached Meizia when the girl was just sitting in her chair.

"Hi, Assalamu'alaikum," Ameer greeted with a friendly smile.

"Is there an important need?" meizia asked coldly.

"I want to get to know you more closely" Ameer said as she sat in front of Meizia.

"I'm not interested," Meizia replied which made Ameer quite surprised, not expecting Meizia's response.

"I told my parents about you" said Ameer and now Meizia who glared in surprise. "I told them I'd found my dream woman, so they wanted to know you."

Meizia was stunned, she tried to digest what Ameer actually meant.

"I think you're drunk" Meizia said.

"Astagfirullah, I can't possibly get drunk" Ameer argued. "I never touched the khamr one bit" he added.

"Then what did you say? I don't understand" Meizia said.

"I like you."

Deg

Meizia's heart immediately beat fast, even she held her breath.

"I keep thinking about you all the time, so I want to get to know you closer."

Meizia listened in silence.

"It's the first time I've ever felt attracted to a woman, so I decided to take it upon myself."

Meizia glared in surprise, even she felt all this was just a dream.

An Ustaz came to propose to him?

"I'm not interested" Meizia said, then she left.

Ameer followed him but the girl immediately reprimanded him. "Don't follow me, Ustaz Ameer! I'm not interested in your offer."

"You know my name?" ask Ameer.

"I've seen you on social media a lot, so I know," Meizia replied honestly.

"That means you know me, so now please let me know you too, Meizia."

Meizia let out a heavy sigh, she looked at Ameer sharply then said, "I'm not interested in being lured by you, so please stop following me or I'll yell."

After saying that sentence, Meizia immediately walked quickly towards her car, leaving Ameer only able to sigh heavily.

Now, he is not only interested in Meizia but he is also curious. The woman looked mysterious, closed and seemed to want to continue to dodge.

"Give me Your guidance, O God, if he is a match, bring him to me."
