Talak After Shah

Naura, Ta'aruf yuk!!

The Emir took a deep breath and followed the others up to their respective rooms.

"Emir, wait!" shouted Naura as the Emir was already walking

The Emir stopped and Naura walked quickly towards him.

"Daena faqat nadhhab 'iilaa almushula , daena nusaliy awlaan. eindaha faqat nartafie" (We go to musholla only yuk, pray first. After that we went up)

The Emir nodded in agreement, seeing the young master of the Emir and his father turn around, Adam followed

"Come on, come along"

Naura extended her hand and they joined hands

Arriving at the mosque in the Jatra Hotel neighborhood, Naura turned to the women's ablution section, while the young masters Emir and Adam were mostly men

"Anat kahin alsala" Adam said to the Emir, who he responded with a nod of his head

Then the Emir came forward and became the imam of their Maghrib prayer this afternoon.

When they finished praying, it turned out that the group of his ancestors along with his parents and the parents of the master of Akmar entered the mosque.

"Wait here son, we have something to talk about" I whispered as I saw Naura standing up

Akmar and the Emir looked at each other, then the Emir extended his hand

"Assalamualaikum, an Emir min aljazirat alearabia"

Akmar's face was slightly startled to hear that the Emir was from Arabia and spoke to him in Arabic

"Ana Akmar"

Then the two smiled at each other and the Emir sat a bit away from the group who was about to pray

He saw Naura sitting behind her while looking down with her fingers moving like she was dhikr

Adam approached him and held his hand

"Adek here, adek will take care of ayuk"

Naura's eyes that had been cloudy had immediately spilled, hugged Adam tightly and cried in silence

The Emir can only see without doing anything.

Finally, his grandmother's group finished praying. Naura immediately greeted her mother, her grandmother, and her mother Akmar

Then all who were in the mushola sat aside. Naura then lowered her head to look at this very uncomfortable atmosphere for her

"Can we continue?" papa Akmar said

Naura held Adam's hand. Adam who seemed to understand, clasped his hand back

I who saw my two children holding hands felt pity and there was anger in my chest

"Our goal is to meet the father and mother none other than not want to connect the good wishes of our son Akmar who wants to invite Naura to taaruf"

My heart rate was racing, my body felt weak to hear the words of his father Akmar

Naura who heard that got even more frightened and her heart was racing.

I quickly held onto her shoulder which was starting to get a bit unsteady

I saw my father take a deep breath, and my brother was silent. And my mouth feels itchy to answer the words of his father Akmar

"We can't decide, because it's so sudden, it's too soon for us" my father said after a long silence

"But should not all good intentions be hastened sir?"

My father smiled

"My grandson is still too small, Insha Alloh his journey is still long. After all, we can't decide because only Naura can decide this"

Naura who looked down kept holding Adam's hand.

"Naura, do you want to come with me?"

The Emir looked towards Akmar. He understood a little because Akmar had said the phrase taaruf

Naura was silent, not answering a single bit.

"There is a saying that says, if silence is gold" continued mama Akmar

Rumbles my chest feels

"That means maybe Naura agrees" she said

Naura immediately raised her head, I saw her face filled with tears

"Sorry father, sorry mother, I am silent does not mean I agree and accept this taaruf"

I stared more and more at my son whose tears kept flowing

"I'm sorry, Akmar, I can't work with you, I still want to go to college, I still want to pursue my goals. I don't want to be a housewife who takes care of my husband and children, but I also want to be an independent woman, so I'm sorry"

I held her shoulder as if giving her strength

"We used to be Naura, not getting married. I'm going to college too, I want to be the new great guy after we get married"

"If it wants you, you prove your success first. If we are indeed a match, want to go as far as our distance, want as difficult as any obstacle, there is a God who will unite us"

I glanced at my brother. Remembering how our struggle until finally we can unite as we are now

"Is it because there's him that you rejected me?" said Akmar glanced at the Emir who was just silent

Naura fell silent, she stared at the Emir

"Nothing to do with him, he's my brother from Jeddah"

The Emir that Naura stared back stared deeply as well

"Ma bik Naura?, yashuku bi thing?" (what's Naura doing?, is she suspicious of me?)

Naura shook her head

"Hal tuhibiyn Naura?" (do you like Naura too?)

The Emir looked directly at Akmar, he was silent

"Sorry Akmar, as I said earlier, we achieved our success first, only after that if Allah allows, we can taaruf"

I took a deep breath hearing my daughter's answer

"I'll prove it to you Naura. And I hope you'll wait for me"

Naura lowered her head again

"If I may, Naura will come out now. Because of Naura, Adam and Emir want to go up"

I nodded my head, and so did his father Akmar

Naura turned around to hug me, then greeted my umak and greeted his mother Akmar, only after that she stood up followed by Adam

"Taeal yes 'Emir, daena nadhhab" said Adam (Come Emir, we go)

"I'm sorry, sir, you've heard my grandson's answer, as my grandson said, if Allah wills nothing is impossible"

Papa Akmar nodded his head. While Akmar who saw Naura left felt a strange taste in his chest. There was anger, disappointment, confusion

...****************...

Tomorrow we head straight to Jen's house. My whole family was willing to not discuss last night's problems. I don't want Naura to be in a bad mood, however I want my son to be happy with me.

The car we were riding in entered the courtyard of a large and luxurious house

"Is this Jen's house?" ask the driver

"Right lady, the whole of Pekanbaru knows madame Jennifer, and we all know where her house is"

I nodded my head. Jen's sister was really great, until I just got to know her

From inside the big house whose door was open appeared, sister Jen. Not alone but with many children, the magnitude is different, some are already large there are also still around eight or ten years old

They all stormed towards us, scrambling to greet us. I'm sure they must be Jen's foster kids. Because Jen's sister told me once

"Yuk cin we go straight to the back, yeah.."

We all followed Jen, not least our three bodyguards.

Once there, there are many dishes available. Even sister Jen to set up a tent to entertain us

"Pretend we're a garden party" said sister Jen who made me chuckle

Serkan and Defne were taken by my father. The Emir walked with brother and Adam while Naura took me

"They're foster kids?" much

"He uh, brother invited me here on purpose, let them also enjoy our little party"

I nodded my head

"Come on, come on, eat right away" cried Jen's sister

We headed straight for the catering table lined up to pick up a meal. And just like yesterday the young master of the Emir followed what brother had taken

We all ate together. Dozens of foster children sister Jen also queued in the other catering line.

We immediately ate together, and when we finished we sat back and chatted and ate snacks that were also available

"Fathers alert alert, eyke has prepared mini music for us-we're happy, eyke hope you can come enjoy do not tense continue"

Abraham Cs just nodded his head

"Musiiikkkkk.." cried Jen's sister.

Directly there was the sound of frenetic music, I chuckled to see Jen's sister who was curling her glorious body

"Tuh caterpillar, don't-don't get possessed" whispered brother

I reflexively hit his arm while chuckling.

The Emir approached Naura who was sitting slightly away

"Hal li aljulus huna? (may I sit here?)

Naura turned and nodded slowly. No need to wait for an answer because Naura nodded, the Emir immediately sat down

While relaxed they look at the crowd of foster children of Jen who joget

"Yabdu 'anahum sueada'?" (they seem very happy)

Naura nodded slowly and smiled faintly

"Naura, can I take our photos?"

Naura tilted her head and looked briefly at the Emir

"For what?"

"For memories"

Naura chuckled, and this was the first time the Emir had heard him chuckle since yesterday

"okay?"

Naura nodded slowly and began to bring her body closer to the table and the Emir shifted his seat to get closer to Naura

Check rec check rec check rec check

The Emir took a few selfies and saw the results, and his lips developed a smile

"If you don't think, can you send it to my phone?"

The emir nodded quickly

"Tell me your number phone"

Without hesitation Naura mentioned her phone number, and quickly the Emir copied her

Before long Naura's phone started clanging tinkling signs incoming messages.

Naura quickly opened her phone, and smilingly looked at her phone

He did not realize that the Emir secretly took his picture

The music atmosphere is getting bigger. Jen's sister sang a few times with her crisp voice. Even beyond my expectations, suddenly the music changed with Hindi music

I immediately stared intently at Jen's sister who was talking to DJ

"Geez, this is my favorite song" I muttered

Brother Jen immediately ran towards me, then pulled my hand down the floor near DJ

I immediately looked at the smiling brother looking at me. I shook my head strongly towards Brother Jen.

"No..!" reject me

Re Re Are Yeh Kya Hua, Maine Na Yeh Jaana

Are Re Are Ban Jaaye Na Kahin Koi Afsaana

Are Re Are Kuch Ho Koi Style Na Pehchana

Are Re Are Banta Hai Toh Ban Jaaye Afsana

Haath Mera Thaam Lo Saath Jab Tak Ho

Brother Jen kept turning my body that was being broken. I saw Adam running towards me, immediately taking my hand, then lifting it up and moving it up and down

I followed him while laughing. Naura, who saw Adam and his mother, looked with dewy eyes

"Mikail.." he said.

The Emir who heard Naura's shrill voice immediately turned his head and looked at Naura's face which suddenly turned cloudy
