Bonchap 3

Finishing the naming and aqiqah of her two babies, Syafi and Dirga immediately returned to their residence. Today the house feels more crowded, because there are two additional babysitters who take care of Zhifa and Asha.

After giving a warm kiss to her twin daughters, Shafi and Dirga returned to their room.

"Sister, was it really Frans who asked Mayfa before?" Shafi still remembered how Frans noticed Mayfa during the event.

"No, Frans just met Mayfa."

"So keep saying Brother fitting at the Hospital yesterday?"

"Owh that's just my joke, I want Athan to see if he's ready if someone actually proposes to Mayfa."

"Mayfa and Athan seem to be tied together, but both are too proud to admit their feelings." Shafi daydreams about his two best friends.

"In my view, the two did not realize that the presence of each other was very precious, because of this situation, I wanted to make both of them realize the loss or distance from each other made their lives empty."

"Ih ... My husband is so cool ...." Shafi gently rubbed Dirga's face.

"Not everyone is given the courage to show their feelings, for example, I was too timid to say that I fell in love with the woman in front of my eyes once was."

"If you remember what my life was like before, it's hard to believe I'm loved by a great man like Brother. As long as I stayed with Uncle, Uncle always told me about Big Brother."

"Uncle loves me very much, and I love them very much."

"If they were still around, they would be very happy to see Zhifa and Asha" Shafi said.

"If they don't exist, I'm sure they're happy to see our happiness too." Dirga pulled the Shafi into his arms.

"Thank you God, you bring the love that is placed on me in the heart of the best man who is currently embracing me."

"You rest there first, Brother wants to pray magrib first."

Both of them let go of their embrace.

On the other side of town.

Mayfa sat daydreaming looking at her reflection in the mirror. I don't know why Athan's appearance today makes him so happy.

"Am I in love with Athan?"

"G ... No way, you're the same Athan is just a winner! Point!"

"That feeling wasn't love, you just missed her as a friend."

Geck! Geck! Geck!

The sound of the knocking made Mayfa's mind crumble.

"Ah who the hell is coming before magrib gini!" Mayfa walked towards the door.

Slowly the door he opened, when the door opened wide Mayfa was very surprised to see 2 figures in front of the door.

"Dad, Mother?" Mayfa rubbed her eyes, making sure she didn't see wrong.

"Is this really you? It's not my hallucination, is it?"

"How are you doing Fa? Mother misses you." Rosalina hugged her fourth daughter.

"Alhamdulillah bund, I'm good." Mayfa returned the embrace of the mother, it was not like to let go of the warmest embrace.

"Ehm! You don't miss the Fa?" sela Mr. Said.

Mayfa and Rosalina let go of their embrace.

"Not a parent? I thought first," said Mayfa.

"You are the Fa ...." Said shook his head to see his daughter's response.

"Let's go in first, this is where I live while abroad." Mayfa invited her parents in.

"Various service Fa contract you." Rosalina observed the circumstances of her daughter's contract.

"Owh pantesan directly to the door, usually if there are new guests, boarding children here who are asked to go out to make sure, continue to be asked for 50 thousand money per person if staying," said Mayfa.

"But unfortunately we did not stay here, we have rented a hotel, even our arrival here to pick you up" said Rosalina.

"Kok pick me up? Don't want that honeymoon?" mayfa Goda.

"Gee! You are! We're not old enough!" Rosalina pinched her daughter's nose squash.

Mr. Said is still paying attention to Mayfa's boarding. "Dad was happy to see it, because all this time Dad's worries were thinking about how your neighborhood lives Fa."

"As a parent, as much as Dad can guide you to the path of God, yes how your environment when away from Dad, this greatly affects your journey, Fa."

Mayfa understood his father's fear, he leaned on his father's shoulder. "Auntie also knows very well what you're thinking, which is why aunt chose this place."

"As long as you're with Dad, I can keep a close eye on how your company, your religion, is. Since you live far away, I can only remind you by phone."

"Alhamdulillah Father, here I live so safe and comfortable."

"Later to speak, let's pray magrib first!" Rosalina.

"Which aunt?" ask Mayfa.

"Your aunt goes straight home, she has many Fa events" said Rosalina.

"Oh yes, why did I forget that soon after the aunt's wedding."

"Yes, said your aunt, you are busy nemenin Shafi" said Rosalina.

"Yes bund, Dirga's yesterday was very busy, because his company said there was a project in southern Kalimantan, so when Dirga left, I accompanied Syafi."

"Dad is happy to hear, you always help anyone, no matter who he is. You've always been sincere about helping."

"You know, I'm so proud to see the kindness you spread, to give without expecting anything, to help selflessly, and so much more."

The three of them perform magrib prayer alternately, because the state of Mayfa's boarding is not too broad. Finished doing magrib duties, Mayfa along with her parents left the boarding house.

Seeing a car parked in front of the boarding house, Mayfa turned to her father. "Whose car is Dad?"

"Taxi online lah, when I brought the car from home."

"Cirain minjem has an aunt" Mayfa said.

"Dad doesn't memorize the streets of this city, mending ushered right?"

"Here we go straight to the hotel, or visit the Shafi?" Rosalina.

"Visiting Shafi can also be, I also want to see his son Shafi and Dirga," said Mr. Said.

An online taxi takes Mr Said's family to the Shafi and Dirga residences. Along the way there was only chatter of Rosalina and Mayfa. Rosalina took a lot of things, how the struggle of Mayfa live abroad.

"Pantes only you feel at home here Fa, sometimes you go home on holiday even rarely. Happy here you are, apparently," commented Mr. Said.

"I'm sorry well, not that I'm happy here or don't miss you guys, it's just that I'm lazy to go home because every big family event we have is always a question of when to get married!"

"It's natural to have that question, you're 28 years old, and you never introduced a young man to us, and the young man we wanted to introduce you to, you refused" said Mr Said.

"Dad knows for himself, marriage is not an easy thing, not a race that must get to the finish line immediately."

"Yes, I understand the Fa."

"Dad understands, but the other family doesn't understand."

Rosalina pulls Mayfa into her arms, she deeply understands her daughter's circumstances, not being married because no one is coming, choosing a life partner is not as easy as buying things, and she understands her daughter's wishes.

"So far, has there been a young man who caught your attention?" rosalina Goda on Mayfa.

A moment of Athan's shadow flashed through Mayfa's mind. At the same time Mayfa felt her face warm as she recalled Athan. "There are no bunds. Bismillah .. Right now God is preparing the best man for me, he will not only give me happiness, but will also make you happy."

"Aamiin's." Said Mr. Said and his wife together.
