HAPPY READING'S...⚘⚘⚘
Afternoon mood at Fauzi's parents' house,,,
Large rug carpets have been titled in the living room, some light snacks and mineral water look neatly arranged there to welcome special guests tonight.
Mama and her maid also Mother Siti wife of Mr. Surya deliberately called by Mama from Cililin to help Mama cook, considering she is an expert in cooking. Some of the sunda special foods they make, goldfish ready to burn, village chicken campground and sambel and lalapan, do not forget the crackers.
They seemed excited and joked with each other by continuing to congratulate Mother Hj. Ramadan, because of the happiness he now feels. Starting from the pregnancy of his youngest son's wife, and this time, his first grandson whom he always worried about would soon be at someone's sermon.
Nadia was already restless waiting in her room, occasionally she opened her wardrobe to look at the lemon-yellow dress made from cigar chiffon that she had just bought yesterday at SS Collection, special for tonight.
The wall clock hanging in his room kept ticking signifies the time that continues to run towards the afternoon, but Uncle and Antinya have not yet come. He took his cell phone and called Afifa. Before long Afifa picked up her phone, Nadia immediately whined to ask Afifa to come. But Afifa said she was still waiting for her husband who had not yet returned from Cililin.
Nadia continued to whine, hoping that Afifa would come first even though she was not with her Uncle. It's nothing, Nadia just wants to calm her heart, just share the experience with Afifa and want to ask a lot, what should she do when she is asked during the preaching process later. Finally with the persuasion of Nadia Afifa promised to come soon, but will tell her husband first.
After ending her call with Nadia, Afifa immediately made a call to her Husband, the day already showing at 4:30 pm, but Fauzi was still in Cililin, Cililin, in his second store which is now being held by Mr. Surya and his wife. Fauzi was not able to go home because he was waiting for his client who was on his way to sign a partnership agreement with his company.
Finally, Afifa asked permission to go first to his father-in-law's house with an angkot.
Afifa immediately prepared, using a moca-colored syar'i dress suit and a veil of the same color, not to forget the small bag he always carried to store his wallet and mobile phone.
After locking the door of his house, he immediately exited the gate and stopped the passing conveyance. The cargo drove Afifa to his father-in-law's house.
At 5:10 p.m., the angkot stopped right in front of the gate of his house-in-law. Afifa immediately gave the fare, then went down and walked towards the gate. The cargo drove back to leave Afifa there. Afifa's hand was already holding the iron gate when two cars stopped right in front of her. The sound of a horn sounded making Afifa turn towards the car. Afifa was silent until she saw a man coming out from behind the wheel.
"Assalamualaikum Afifa," said the man greeting him kindly. Ivory white long shirt clothes combined with black material pants wrap the body strapping height.
"Greetings, Brother Farid, " said Afifa, nodding and cupping his hands in front of his chest.
There was a small conversation between them, which basically told his arrival directly from Semarang without a hitch and could come here before nightfall.
The people in the car whispered to each other to see their conversation, whose voices they could not hear at all, despite being tired all day on the road, but their faces looked happy and smiling looking at the two of them. I don't know what's on their minds right now.
Afifa nodded and immediately opened the gate wide so that the two cars could get into the yard of his father-in-law's house.
The Farid family entourage consisting of both Farid's parents, his sister, Pak Lek and Bu Leknya, and Meme his nephew got off the car with a gift parcel typical of Semarang. While Farid was still in the car to prepare the ring that he had bought as proof of the tie to Nadia later. He opened the jewelry box he was carrying, looked at her for a moment, then smiled.
A sweet girl in a long robe outfit who was none other than Zia her sister Farid immediately approached Afifa who was walking from the gate after closing it back.
"Assalamualaikum, Ma'am Yu!" the sapa was friendly while holding Afifa's arm.
"Wa.kaikum greetings," said Afifa rather surprised at him.
"Mbak Yu is beautiful, introduce me to Zia's sister Mas Farid" she said, extending a hand.
"Oh yes, I..."
"I already know, Ms. Yu," he said as he pulled Afifa's hand towards her mother. The unprepared Afifa was simply astonished and followed Zia's steps. "Mbak Yu, This is Umi Wafa and this is Abi Khoir, this is Bu Lek Faiq, Pak Lek Khais and this, the sweet Meme," said Zia with her familiar style can not be separated from a smile.
"Assalamualaikum" said Afifa, nodding and greeting his mother Farid and the others.
"Waalaikum greetings," everyone replied with a smile.
"Come...! come..., let's come in!" Afifa said as she spread her hands towards the door in a friendly manner. Then he entered first to see the situation in the house, which turned out the living room was neat, but there was no one there.
"Please sit down, sir! Buk up! and everything! the drinks! excuse me, call Mama in the back," said Afifa, and immediately set foot in the kitchen, because the voices of the people in the kitchen were heard.
"Ma...! the guest has come" said Afifa a little nervous, because it turns out that the kitchen is still not ready.
"Eh, Fifa? it's coming, why?" ask Mama to make sure.
Afifa immediately approached her mother-in-law, "Ma.., The guest from all her friends has come." explained Afifa half-whispering.
"What?" mama asked in shock, "Waduh.how is it, Papa also has not come home from the store, Mama is not ready anymore," Mama suddenly misbehaved. "Eh, Fa! Nadias...Where's nadia?" ask Mama again.
Afifa simply shook her head, then remembered Nadia, "Fifa will see her in her room, Ma!" afifa said and turned around.
"Wait, Fa! Where's fauzi?" mama asked with her nervousness. How not, welcoming guests who are prepared later tonight, it turns out they have come this afternoon. The preparation is still not finished, the food is not dead.
"Sir Aji is also still in the store, Ma! you better meet them first!" afifa said a little to calm her mother-in-law.
"Yes, you call Papa and Fauzi to come here soon, Fa!" mama said while fixing the instant hijab and the clothes she wore.
"Simple!" The sound of the door Nadia opened from inside her room. Apparently Nadia already uses a lemon-yellow robe, but has not worn her hijab. His face bowed slightly reddened, it seemed that he already knew the arrival of the Farid family entourage.
"Nad!" Afifa said with a slightly seductive smile, Then went into Nadia's room and closed the door. Afifa held onto Nadia's still blushing shoulder, "Come! get ready," take Afifa.
Nadia nodded and sat on the bedside.
"The book is good, Nad!" said Afifa, "fit once in the color of your skin, graceful," Smile sweetly and lift her thumb a sign of praise.
"Died wearing the hijab, Anti!" said Nadia.
"Yes, later Anti use the hijab, a moment yes, Anti want to call Papa and Kak Aji first" said Afifa while removing the phone and immediately make a call to both.
"They'll be here soon" Afifa said, smiling at Nadia. Nadia just nodded.
Afifa's hand grabbed the hijab in Nadia's hand, then deftly put the hijab on Nadia's head, as she used to do. Afifa carefully arranged the hijab until Nadia looked beautiful, graceful and elegant. Not to forget, he pinned a beautiful flower-shaped brooch on Nadia's left shoulder. "Perfect" said Afifa as soon as he finished pinning the brooch.
Afifa held onto Nadia's shoulder and invited her to stand in front of the mirror. "Hmmm.., Just as Mas Arimu was not fascinated by Anti's beautiful niece," Afifa said as she turned Nadia over to the mirror, grabbed her shoulder and stood beside Nadia, so that both of them can see their shadows there, like two twin girls with the same style of clothing, but different faces.
"Yuk! come out, "Take Afifa while holding Nadia's cold hand.
"Wait, Anti!" Nadia was glued and bowed.
"Why, Nad?" ask Afifa.
"What should Nadia say later, An?"
"Hmmm..., nervous huh?" seductive Afifa, "You, you don't have to say anything, just answer what they ask kindly according to your heart," Afifa raised her chin against Nadia who was bowed. "You believe the same Anti?" afifa said later, and answered with a nod of Nadia.
Afifa smiled, her hands still held tightly to Nadia, Afifa opened the door of the room, then the two went out into the living room.
The conversation in the living room stopped instantly, as Afifa and Nadia came there. Various pairs of eyes looked at the two of them, as if admiring the two. Farid who was sitting cross-legged with the same nervousness glanced at the two of them, then returned bowed and smiled, because since then, he had continued to be seduced by his sister and family.
Afifa and Nadia sat side by side on the carpet that was purposely on the title. There was a pleasant conversation between them that basically praised the beauty of both.
Before long Papa and Fauzi came almost simultaneously, they immediately joined the guests, greeted each other, and introduced themselves.
The sermon event will still be held later tonight, while waiting for pa Ustad who has been invited to lead the event.
This afternoon they just talked about asking trivial things about the family or the characteristics of their respective regions, the conversation eventually led to the intention of the arrival of the Farid family to this place.
Suddenly Umi Wafa, Farid's mother approached Afifa and Nadia, and said, "Son...! Umi was thrilled when Farid said that he would take us to the family of his chosen girl, and our happiness increased when we saw you were really in front of our eyes at the moment. Umi hopes, you guys still Istiqomah through this taaruf process until the wedding." Umi Wafa smiled towards Afifa.
Afifa smiled, then turned her gaze towards Nadia who was still down and blushed, and looked back at Umi Wafa.
Suddenly Umi Wafa's hand lifted and grabbed Afifa's face and hugged her. Afifa was shocked not to play, he looked at everyone in front of him behind the arms of Umi Wafa, the Farid family seemed to smile, other than Farid, Fauzi and his two in-laws who looked at him in wonder. Afifa's face immediately pale from shock and embarrassment, Afifa's eyes were immediately fixed on her husband's face which turned out to be looking at her questioningly.
Umi Wafa took off his embrace, Afifa immediately looked at Nadia beside him who was also looking at him questioningly. Afifa immediately clasped Nadia's hand which was getting colder. Then he looked back at Umi Wafa. "Ma.maaf Umi, Sa.my Afifa," said Afifa stammered.
"Affia? isn't your name Nadia?" ask Umi Wafa astonished.
"Mom.no Umi, I'm Afifa, and this is Nadia" explained Afifa while holding Nadia's shoulder that looks pale and downcast.
Farid's family was shocked to hear Afifa's words, and their eyes were fixed on Farid with questioning eyes as if asking for an explanation from him.
