Pursuing the Details of His Love Tasbih

Chapter 35 - Preparation for Marriage

Meizia has no one in her life so no one accompanies her when she has to talk about her marriage to Ameer.

"There's no need to be so tense," chuckled Grandpa who saw Meizia was indeed very tense since her arrival.

"I'm sorry" said Meizia, bowed.

"So tell us, what kind of marriage do you want?" abi Zaid asked to melt the atmosphere.

"I want a simple wedding, Bi, and just invite our immediate family" Ameer said. "What about you, Zia?" tanyakanya.

"I'll go with what you say, Ameer," Meizia replied in a low voice.

"Ameer is our only son, so we want to have a party, not a big one, just a simple party" said Nayla. "We want Ameer's marriage to be history for us as well" he added.

"But I think it'd be better if they got together first, and then think about the party" Grandpa suggested. "It's much better, to avoid slander and other mischief."

"I agree" said Ameer with enthusiasm. "I want Meizia to always be by my side, so that I can take care of her," Ameer said, leaving Meizia instantly full.

He looked at the man deeply, full of admiration even to the point of not blinking until suddenly Grandpa stuck his finger in front of his face which made Meizia jump in shock.

"This is one of the reasons I want you to get married fast" Grandpa said. "Because looking at a woman or man who is not your right, not your halal partner is included in the adultery of the eyes." It was this that made Meizia look down in embarrassment.

While Ameer just laughed a little while shaking his head. "So, immediately take care of your marriage contract. Because when a couple is full of love, the reward flows in them. The sooner you get married the better."

Both of Ameer's parents could only nod their heads, a decision had been made, a plan had been drawn up and they were already determined to accept Meizia as their daughter-in-law.

There was nothing they expected in this but happiness and kindness for Ameer.

After dinner, Meizia is escorted home by Ameer and she takes Grandpa to her home.

Jenny unceasingly congratulates Meizia on her friend's wedding plans. While on the other hand, Ameer also unceasingly thanked for the gift of love that he had.

Perhaps, one would think how could Ameer choose a woman who was once submerged in the mud of sin. While there are other women who are often praised for their kindness and elegance.

However, others never knew that what Ameer was doing was proof of his sincere love. Knowing Meizia was in the wrong state, instead of leaving, Ameer wanted to hold the woman and tell her she was wrong and then take her on the right path.

Saddened? It would be hypocritical if Hana avoided that sadness, but Hana knew she had to be sincere. Sometimes, fate cannot be compromised. All humans can do is be sincere and resigned.

On the other hand, Meizia went to the prison where her mother was detained.

Since Mami Lala was sentenced for her actions, Meizia has never visited the woman. Meizia even wants to forget that she has a mother. But today, he went to see her, hoping that she would change.

Meizia squeezed her fingers nervously while waiting for her mother.

"Mama?" meizia murmured when she saw that her mother had already come.

Instead of being moved by her daughter's look, Mami Lala laughed at Meizia's completely changed appearance. With a shari'a dress and a big hijab.

"Why are you dressed like this, Mei?" mami Lala's Ejek.

"I learned hijrah, Ma," said Meizia. "Living a better life, I hope you do the same." Meizia handed over a paper bag to her mother, where there were shari'a outfits, including mukena and sejadah. "I'm sure we can fix everything" Meizia said very gently.

However, Mami Lala threw her sneering smile at Meizia.

"You want to cover your body like anything, will not be able to cover the fact that there are many men_"

"MAMA!" meizia snapped spontaneously and even the woman's tears spilled back. "I try to forget my past, and I want Mama to do the same, too" he said sharply. "But I'm wrong!" Meizia snatched the paper bag.

"Mama will never change, Mama will always be like this. There is no heart!"

"And I am your mother" Mami Lala said casually. "We're both the same, Mei, you were born to this heartless woman."

Meizia wiped her tears, she looked at her mother while shaking her head. "I was born from Mama's womb, but I'm not Mama. I'll never choose the way of life that you choose, that's our difference, Ma." Meizia moved from her seat.

"What I'm wearing now can't erase my past, but with this I'm improving my future."

Meizia rushed away from the presence of Mother who might not even have affection as Mother, she left with disappointment. While Mami Lala was now putting on her shoulder face, the two women's eyes were reddened and teary.

He looked down deeply, took a deep breath and gave a faint smile. "Then go, Meizia, never come back and forget Mama."
