Rocker Guys Enter the Pesantren

Episodes.14

Iqbal and his two parents were sitting in the living room. Iqbal was told if there was an offer as a substitute husband. However, Iqbal did not know who the woman he had to marry was. It's just that Iqbal chuckles amusedly. Her parents may ask her to marry a woman she doesn't know.

"Don't worry, Iqbal's got to marry a foreign woman. Obviously Iqbal wouldn't!" reject it.

"Well, too bad, but the woman was very beautiful and religious. Pity that she did not get married because her future husband died" said Ms Fatma.

"Iqbal won't, Mah. Iqbal did not want to force Iqbal's heart to marry a woman Iqbal did not love," Iqbal was very firm with his stance. She still can't forget Aisha. It is hard to open your heart to another woman.

Pak Bima and Bu Fatma looked at each other. Maybe her son is not ready to get married. They do not want to impose their child's will.

"Alright, papah samah mamah will not force you, son. Then let papah try to talk to Kiyai Ahmad if you do not accept this offer," after finishing talking with Iqbal, now Pak Bima and Bu Fatma passed away.

Iqbal was still sitting in his place. She was still astonished to her father who suddenly asked her to become a surrogate bride.

Tring

Iqbal heard his cell phone ring. He saw a call coming in from Fahmi. It's not usual for Fahmi to call her if there's nothing important.

📞"Hallo, Assalamu'alaikum, Fa. What's up?"

📞"Waalaikum'salam. Sorry if I bother you. But I just want to let you know that yesterday I recommended you as a substitute bride for Aisha. At first Kiyai Ahmad asked me to be Azmi's replacement, only I think you're more suitable" Fahmi said.

📞"Azmi? So that woman is Aisha?"

📞"True, did your parents not say?"

📞"They didn't mention her name if she was Aisha, so I refused."

📞"Jeez, this is a great opportunity for you, you know," said Fahmi.

📞"True, I'd like to talk to you first if I accept the offer. Yes, yes, Assalamu'alaikum" said Iqbal and immediately turned off his phone call without listening to Fahmi answer his greetings.

Iqbal hurried to find his father. It just so happened that Iqbal saw his father just coming out of the room.

"Well, there's something Iqbal wants to talk about. So, Iqbal wants to accept the marriage."

"So he said he didn't want to. You don't play with marriage, son. Then the papah called Kiyai Ahmad and told him that you refused."

"What's? So you called Kiyai Ahmad?" Iqbal rubbed his face violently.

"What's the matter, son? Why do you look so surprised?"

"Why didn't Papah tell me that woman was Aisha? If papah says, without thinking for a long time Iqbal will say it will," said Iqbal.

"It looks like you really love that woman, son," Mr. Bima patted his son's shoulder gently.

"Even Iqbal's love for him was huge, Pah. Until now Iqbal still difficult to remove his name from memory."

Seeing his son who was in love, Pak Bima so remembered his youth. Where he and Ms. Fatma are struggling to maintain their relationship that was not approved by parents. As time goes on they can live happily. Pak Bima hopes that Iqbal can also live happily with the woman of his choice.

"You take it easy, son. I'll talk to Kiyai Ahmad again."

"Together, Son. Your happiness is your happiness too."

...

A family meeting between Iqbal and Aisha's family is held in a restaurant. It just so happened that Pak Bima himself had rented a restaurant for their meeting.

Iqbal who was reflecting in front of the mirror looked at his reflection. Looks neat and charismatic. Iqbal wears formal clothing. After seeing his appearance was quite appropriate, Iqbal just went out of the room.

It turned out that Pak Bima and Bu Fatma were already in the front room waiting for Iqbal.

"Well, Dad, are we leaving now?"

"Yes, Son. Come on!" take Miss Fatma.

Iqbal followed to his two parents who had come out first. They will leave in the same car. Along the way Iqbal rubbed into his two palms. A nervous feeling suddenly attacked him. Iqbal still can't believe he could have Aisha. Though previously he had resigned to let Aisha who was engaged.

They had arrived in front of a luxurious restaurant. Then they went down and immediately stepped into the restaurant. Arriving there, it turns out Aisha and her parents have come. Kiyai Ahmad was also there.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat. Sorry if we are late," said Mr. Bima politely."

"Waalaikum'salam," they answered in unison.

"No, it just so happened that we also just arrived" said Kiyai Ahmad.

The parents immediately discussed Aisha and Iqbal's marriage.

Now Kiyai Ahmad can feel calm because his son's request has been followed. Before he died, Iqbal asked his father to find Aisha a future husband. Aisha had to stay married even if not herself. Of course Kiyai Ahmad felt proud of his son. In his last moments he still remembered his future wife. Maybe that's called love. Although not able to be together, but Azmi wants that Aisha is happy with another man.

Ms. Fatimah who initially had doubts about the figure of Iqbal, now the doubt also faded. Seeing Iqbal being so polite, even his parents were kind. Iqbal seems to be the best mate for Aisha.

"Is Nak Iqbal ready to marry my son in seven days?" Fatimah asked Iqbal.

"Ready, Aunt. Tonight Iqbal is ready. As for Aisha, Iqbal is always ready" Iqbal replied.

Kiyai Ahmad saw sincerity in Iqbal's eyes. "It seems like you are indeed a soul mate who has been destined for Aisha. On behalf of my son, I ask you to take care of Aisha, son," said Kiyai Ahmad.

"I'll do it, Yai, for sure" Iqbal replied.

After their meeting was over, they prepared to go home. Iqbal's heart is very happy now. Eventually he could have a woman he had admired for a long time.

Arriving at home, Iqbal went to the room and immediately lay on the bed. Iqbal smiled to himself thinking of Aisha. I don't know why I just met, but I still miss. Iqbal glanced at his cell phone that was on the bed. He picks up the phone and searches Aisha's contact number. Iqbal just got his cell phone number.

Assalamu'alaikum

If so, fill in the message sent by Iqbal. It had been a few minutes waiting, but there had been no reply from Aisha. Iqbal was upset. Since then he has been rolling on the bed. Iqbal eventually fell asleep because he waited for a reply to a message from Aisha that he never got.
