In the room, Salma sat on the edge of the bed crying, she was not a cruel or evil person, but she just did not want to make the mistake again by allowing Jihan to return to Ammar, because he had already been hurt by the young man's treatment of the princess the other day.
Jihan who was standing next to Salma just shook her head, her tears from earlier on just kept dripping. At the moment he is confused about what to do, even to make a sound he cannot. There was a feeling of sadness, regret, and pity in his heart that blended into one.
“Next Ummi not permission you refer to him!” Salma.
“Ummi.” Jihan then sat in front of Ummi and clasped her hands.
Salma looked at Jihan with tears and then rubbed her head covered with hijab“You're Ummi's only child and Ummi raised you lovingly, Ummi does not accept you being insulted and treated badly by others. Ummi don't want to, son!”
Salma was getting more and more excited, she could not help but feel sad when she remembered everything Ammar had done a year ago.
“I'm sorry because I made Ummi cry like this.” Said Jihan while rubbing Salma's cheek, she felt sad and guilty for seeing her mother shed tears.
“Promise Ummi, you won't return to Ammar?” Pinta Salma with pleading gaze.
Jihan was speechless, she was in a dilemma with her own heart.
“Jihan?”
With a heavy heart Jihan nodded and obeyed the request of the woman she loved the most.
Arif stepped in slowly and approached the child and his wife. “Ummi, Jihan, can we talk?”
“If Abi wants to ask Ummi to approve Jihan and Ammar to refer, Ummi does not want to! Ummi still has no permission! Ummi is still heartbroken, Abi!” Salma Rebuttal.
“Ighfar, Ummi! Don't be like this! Abi was also disappointed by Nak Ammar's actions, and Abi did not intend to force the two of you to accept his request. Abi just wants as fellow Muslims, we must forgive each other, do not hold anger and resentment! That's it!” Arif tried to advise his wife.
Salma did not reply to her husband's words, she just shook with tears. So even with Jihan, he did not dare to argue with his parents.
“All decisions are in the hands of Jihan, as parents we just need to give advice and support. Let him take the decision according to the wishes of his heart.” Arif continued, he wants Jihan to make a decision based on the princess' heart.
“Abi, but as parents we also have the right to approve or not the decisions and desires of our children. Ummi does not want to regret anymore, Ummi wants Jihan to live happily.” Salma moved and left the room.
Arif exhaled to see Salma's attitude, he understood that his wife was disappointed and hurt in Ammar, but he also did not want the wife to drag on to save the feeling of pain until finally causing liver disease. As a father, he also wanted his daughter to be happy but he did not want to be selfish.
“Abi.” Said Jihan with tears in her eyes.
Arif looked at the princess only wayangnya with sadness then rubbed his head. “You still remember Abi's message back then, right?”
Jihan nodded.
“Ask guidance from Allah so that you can take the right decision.”
“Iya, Abi.”

Radit was sitting daydreaming on the terrace of the Mother's house, he was still thinking about the incident earlier. She doesn't think Ammar is Jihan's ex-husband. And for some reason the sudden sense of jealousy was in his heart, he was afraid that suddenly Jihan would change her mind and cancel her sermon.
“Loh, have you gone home yet? Why not sign in?” Suddenly Yuni's voice shocked Radit.
But a mother cannot be lied to, she knows the son is not okay.
“Why? Is there a problem?” Yuni looked at Radit suspiciously.
Radit bowed while sighing. “So Jihan's ex-husband and her parents came to Mr. Arif's house, and it turns out that her ex-husband was the son of my business colleague, Bun.”
Yuni surprised. “Oh yes? Want to know why they came?”
“From what I've heard, her ex-husband wants a referral. And it turns out that their divorce has been annulled, so legally they are still tied to marriage.” Radit Bright.
“Yes Allah! So how? Would Jihan like to refer to her ex-husband?” Cecar Yuni panicked.
Radit. “I don't know, Bun. I decided to go home before hearing Jihan's decision, but earlier Ms. Salma was angry, it seems she refused her daughter-in-law's referral request.”
“Now what should we do? Mother is afraid that Jihan will change her mind and cancel your wedding plans.” Said Yuni worriedly.
“We leave everything to God, Bun. May what we fear not happen and our hope be realized.” Sahut Radit's.
“Aamiin yes Allah.”
Truthfully Radit was upset and agitated, but he tried to calm down so as not to make the mother restless.
“Later Mommy will try to talk to Jihan and her parents.”
“But don't force, yes, Bun. I do not want to make Jihan forced to choose me because it is not good with Mother.” Radit warned his mother.
Yuni nodded. “Yes, Mommy just wants to make sure Jihan's decision.”
Radit shook his heart, completely agitated at the thought of Jihan. She was afraid that the woman changed her mind and chose to refer to her ex-husband, so she was heartbroken again. But he did not want to be prejudiced, he hoped that this time fate would take his side.
“So what time are you back in Jakarta?” Ask Yuni.
Radit gasped and looked at his mother. “Looks like I'll postpone my return until everything is clear, Bun.”
“What is it that you left the office too long? Who will be monitoring there?”
“I can ask my representative to monitor the company as long as I don't exist.” Reply Radit.
“Ya already, it's up to you.”
