one week later came the wedding day of Mira and Rangga. Mira looks so pretty with a crown on her head.It deserves her like a queen.

"God is my best friend." Nadira said

"you can be beautiful, you are also beautiful."

"it's really mir, it's not as pretty as you ah."

after waiting for some time, the bridegroom's family had come. shortly after the marriage contract had been heard and in a matter of seconds Mira was already legitimately become Rangga's wife. Nadira just smiled with eyes that are difficult to understand. after the end of the event Mira was called to meet Rangga. with a graceful step Mira down to the bottom floor with Nadira held beside her.

a smile of happiness emanated on Mira's face as well as Rangga. after in the presence of Rangga, Mira shed her tears then she kissed Rangga's hand for the first time.

likewise with Rangga he kissed Mira's forehead then he read a prayer while holding Mira's crown.

everyone shouted cheerfully at the newlywed couple. Nadira also tried to keep smiling even though there was pain in his heart.

"there is nothing you must be sincere Nadira, may after this God give a much better replacement" said Nadira

"Nad here." Call Mira

Nadira also approached Mira and Rangga

"congratulations, may you be happy and be a happy family and warohmah."

"aamiin, thank you nad"

voice incoming message on Nadira's phone

"assalamu'alaikum, I think it's enough time that I've given. I don't want to be like this anymore. am I allowed to meet your parents?." a message from Eza

Nadira was silent for a moment he was confused at the time actually not because he had not been sincere with losing someone he loved but Nadira did not want to rush because there was still fear in his heart.

"well, tonight I'm waiting for you at the restaurant yesterday."

"it's fine."

after she finished replying to Eza's message, Nadira went to the kitchen where she cooked her favorite pudding.

"o Allah, please give Nadira a hint that it is the best Eza mas give ease." said Nadira while stirring the pudding

after a few minutes of cooking the pudding, Nadira put it in a container and then refrigerated it.

nadira then returned to the room because she wanted to take a shower and was ready to meet Eza.

the voice of the Maghrib Adhan was already reverberating, Nadira immediately took ablution and performed Maghrib prayers. After finishing, Nadira prepared and then went to the restaurant. after a long time on the way finally Nadira arrived at the restaurant then he immediately met Eza. but Nadira was surprised because not only Eza but there was his mother there too.

"assalamu'alaikum mas, mother."

"wa'alaikumussalam."

"god willing, so this is a future mother-in-law."

"ma." said Eza

Nadira who heard that only blushed in embarrassment.

"i'm sorry son." said Ms. Irma

"nothing, ma'am" replied Nadira with a smile

"whose name is it?"

"Nadira."

"a name as beautiful as his person."

"Mom can do it." Nadira said embarrassedly

"please sit down, son."

"thank you ma'am."

"sorry mom."

"Yes, that's okay."

the order came, they enjoyed eating first before they talked about something.

after finishing a new meal, Eza opened his voice while Ms. Irma went to the toilet.

"so how?"

"mas I don't know what to answer now because honestly it's not my power. Sorry in advance what makes mas so sure to choose me? even we just met a few times and mas did not know how my nature and so forth and vice versa."

"because of the good and the good that is on you."

"how can you see from there?"

"i can tell which ones are sincere and only pretend."

"have you asked God for guidance?" so you're sure it's like this. I don't want us to hurt each other later mas."

"already, I've done a series of worship that makes me even more sure to choose you."

Nadira was speechless when he was confused whether he should cry or be happy with the attitude of the man before him.

"how about your mama, will she be able to accept me?"

"mama is very accepting you don't have to worry." replied Ms. Irma suddenly appeared from behind Nadira because she had just been to the bathroom

"don't worry, you're a good boy mama can feel that."

nadira's tears were unbearable again, those tears were already wetting her cheeks.

"dear you cry, why?"tanya Bu Irma then approached Nadira

"it's okay ma'am." replied Nadira while wiping away her tears.

Eza who saw that also felt confused whether he had any wrong talk or what.

"mas, next week mommy and dad will come home here if you're sure meet them."

"well, I'll see your parents later."

"this is my home address." Nadira said as she handed me a paper

"well, thank you."

"same-same."

"yeah, we go home first the day is getting late" said Ms. Irma

they separated and went home to each other.
