Naura just stared silently at the Emir who said that tomorrow he would return to Jeddah
After nodding his head and smiling a glance Naura went up by holding Defne and Serkan
"Ukhti, do you like aki Emir?"
Naura stopped her steps and turned to Defne
"I don't know, that I know, I really respect of him"
"Do you agree if he is handsome?"
Naura chuckled, in her towel red cheeks blushing Defne
"Daddy more than handsome"
Defne chuckles
"Daddy is the most handsome man in the universe" he said
Laughing, they went into the room and closed the door
Naura immediately took off her hijab and hung it, as she was about to clean her face, she was reminded of the gift Akmar gave her
Slowly opening the closet door, he did not want his two new twin sisters to close their eyes awake
He took the crystal clear box, and again took out the contents.
Back the smile knots etched on his lips
Naura quickly grabbed her ringing phone
Brother is a kid
"Assalamualaikum sis?"
"Waalaikumussalam yuk, what else?"
"Just want to sleep, why brother?"
Mikail kept quiet, Naura waited for the continuation of her sister's talk
"Something important, huh?, just talk"
"Yes, this is about Akmar"
Naura's heart beat immediately as soon as she heard Mikail mention Akmar's name
"What's wrong with Akmar?"
Mikail went back to silence, and made Naura's heart beat more and more
"Come and see the gift that Akmar gave you?"
"Yes, I've"
"She said it was a birthday present for Ayuk"
Naura covered her face, suddenly felt if her face was hot
"Yuk still hears big brother's voice right, yuk?" teased Mikail because she didn't hear Naura's answer
Naura chuckles
"Do you like Akmar?"
Naura instantly stopped her laughter, her heart racing again
"Big brother knows now at home there's also the young master Emir, right?"
"So I don't know from Akmar if the two of them are competing for their hearts"
Naura took a deep breath
"The choice is heavy, but not heavy if it involves God in it"
Naura smiled and the necklace of Akmar in her grasp continued to be played
"Have Istikharah prayed?"
"Not yet"
"Well, why?, pray istikharah yuk, please guide Alloh"
From Jabir Bin Abdullah radhiyallahu ‘anhuma says:
Formerly the Prophet of Allah shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam once taught us Istikharah in deciding everything, (as taught us) the letter in the Quran, he said
...فَلْيَرْكَعْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ غَيْرِ الْفَرِيضَةِ ثُمَّ لِيَقُلْ...
...اللَّهُمَّإِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي أَوْ قَالَ عَاجِلِ أَمْرِي وَآجِلِهِ فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي أَوْ قَالَ فِي عَاجِلِ أَمْرِي وَآجِلِهِ فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِي الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي...
O God, I ask You for the right choice with Your knowledge and I ask You for strength (to decide my affairs and overcome them) with Your Omnipotence. I ask Thee for the goodness of Thy great gift, verily Thou art All-Powerful, while I am powerless, Thou art All-Knowing, All-Knowing, I do not know, and You are the All-Knowing of the Unseen. O God, if (according to Your knowledge) You know that this affair is better for me in my religious affairs, my livelihood, and its consequences for my world and my Hereafter - then do not do it for me, ease the way, and make it easy, then give me a blessing. But if (in Your knowledge) You know that this matter is bad for me in my religious affairs, my livelihood, and the consequences for my afterlife, my world or my hereafter-, then keep that matter away from me, and keep me away from it, do good for me wherever it is, then make me happy with that destiny.”
Naura took a deep breath hearing Mikail's advice
"Don't like to play with people's hearts, not good"
"Yes brother, yes, In Syaa Alloh ayuk will be istikharah, if according to the brother among them who is good?"
Mikail remained silent
"I don't know yuk, because brother doesn't know them yet, but the big brother knows they're all hafidz, In Syaa Allh well done"
Naura smiled
"Oh yes, by the way, what gift from Akmar?"
Naura chuckles
"Necklace"
"Wahhhh must be good huh yuk?"
Naura chuckled
"Yes yuk, brother just said that. Because the night before we went home, Akmar asked my brother to say four eyes, he asked permission from my brother to take ayuk taaruf"
Naura's heartbeat raced back fast
"Keep brother answered what?"
Mikail chuckled at the quick question
"Cie cie is curious"
Naura regained her senses and patted her forehead
"Tomorrow sister story again, now it's night, brother wants to sleep, tomorrow must be official, greetings to the big family yes yuk, sorry brother does not come home again, sorry brother does not come home again, pity me if you have to send the pilot to pick up brother continues"
The two chuckled, after Mikail ended the conversation and said her greetings, Naura put down her phone and looked back at the necklace she had been holding
Then he went back to fetching the phone and sent Akmar a message
Thanks for the card
After sending the message, Naura also spread her body next to her twin sister who was already soundly
...****************...
At ten in the morning, the Emir had been preparing to return, his two bodyguards had been waiting in front as the Emir bid farewell to Indah and Ozkan
Mr. Abraham cs who will take him to the airport was ready in the car
While standing in front of Naura, the Emir seemed to bring out something
"Gift for your birthday" he said
Doubtfully Naura took the small parcel that the Emir extended
"Syukron Emir"
The emir nodded
"See you soon Naura, I'm back to home"
"Be careful Emir"
While both cupping their hands in front of their chests, both of them smiled stiffly
My brother and I looked at each other and raised our eyebrows together
"See you at office Emir, In Syaa Alloh uncle back to Jeddah three days later"
"Okey uncle" said the Emir while re-hugging Ozkan warmly
I stroked her head as she shook her head and kissed the back of my hand
The little boy that I used to carry and ride on my shoulder when I came home from work, has now turned into a handsome, handsome adult man
After that, with a gallant step the Emir got into the car and waved his hand when the car would turn
I took a deep breath when the car came out of the fence and moved away
I glanced at Naura who seemed to see the gift that the Emir had given her
He looked stunned at the object and stammered as I invited him in
