As Abi had ordered, Jihan again performed the prayer istikharah to ask for guidance and steadfastness of heart. He is confused and does not want to hurt anyone including his parents, he wants to take the right decision and good for everything.
“Allahumma inni as-alukal huda was sadaad.”
“O God, I ask You for guidance and truth, I ask You to choose for me what is good according to You, O God . And I ask You to give assurance with Your provision, and I plead with Your great mercy. Verily, Thou art the All-Powerful, and I have no power. You who know I do not know, even You are Knowing all things that are still hidden.”
“Yes Allah, strengthen my heart with a good choice for me, my life, my religion and my world and hereafter. Make things easy if that is what You have destined for me, and keep away if it is bad for me. Aamiin yes rabbal Al - Amin.”
Jihan rubbed her tear-filled face after she finished using prayer, hoping God would guide her to make the right decision.
“Jihan.” Reprimanded Salma who had stood behind Jihan and listened to the princess pray.
Jihan turned around. “Ummi!”
Salma stepped closer to Jihan and sat down next to her baby.
“Sorry that Ummi has been selfish and forced you to obey Ummi.” Said Salma a little regretful, earlier he had pondered his attitude, he realized because of the great disappointment in Ammar and emotions, he said that is not good.
"Ummi.” Jihan clasped her mother's hand.
“Ummi just want you to get a good life companion, Ummi want you to be happy, Nak.” Salma fell down and cried.
“Ummi, don't cry! Ummi is not wrong, I can understand the wishes of Ummi.” Jihan wiped Salma's tears.
“Son, Ummi just said, marry someone who will make you fall in love with God every day, someone who is afraid of God, because he will treat you rightly and well because of his fear of the creator. And love a man because of Allah, because of his faith and his faith, God willing you will be happy in the hereafter.” Salma with tears.
Jihan was stunned and then nodded her head with tears. “Iya, Ummi. Insha Allah.”
“Ummi loves you very much, Nak.” Salma immediately embraced the baby with affection.
“I also love Ummi and Abi very much, sorry that I made you guys troubled because of everything that happened.” Jihan returned Salma's embrace.
“No, Son. It is part of God's will to test you, to test our families. Hopefully the decision you take later brings kindness and blessings.” Reply Salma.
“Aamiin. Insha Allah, Ummi.”
Jihan hopes that her heart will gain the confidence to be able to make the best decision and bring goodness, a decision that God desires.

Yuni and Radit visit Arif's residence to discuss Ammar and his family's arrival, and both mother and son want to confirm Jihan's decision.
“So our arrival here is just to make sure, Mas, Mbak.” Terang Yuni's.
“Yes, it's true that Jihan's ex-husband came and wanted to refer to her, but Jihan hasn't answered anything.” Sahut Arif, while Salma and Jihan just flinch.
“That means Jihan has not received her referral request and canceled Radit?” sermon Yuni.
Arif shakes. “Numbered, Mbak.”
Arif looked at the bowed Jihan beside him. “How, Son? What decision did you take?”
Jihan was silent with nervous feeling and heart pounding hard, after praying istikharah and hearing the message of the ummi, finally her heart was steady to choose.
Radit and all anxiously awaiting answers from the hijab-wearing woman.
“Sa-I want to continue my wedding plans with Mas Radit.” Reply Jihan with a trembling voice.
“Alhamdulillah!” Yuni, Salma and Arif.
“Alhamdulillah, yes, Allah!” Radit said as he looked at Jihan with a flowery heart, it turns out that what he feared did not happen, Jihan still chose herself.
“I was afraid that Jihan would change her mind and cancel her wedding plans with Radit.” Yuni said.
“Alhamdulillah, Jihan is still firm on her stance.” Salma also felt happy. Arif was just smiling.
“But what about Jihan's divorce deed? Will her husband take care of their divorce?” Yuni asked a little fretfully.
“Insha Allah, Ma'am. Later I try to talk about the matter to his family, I hope they can understand and accept this decision of Jihan. But it looks like the wedding date should we drop off until the divorce deed comes out.” Connect Arif.
“Can't they just marry siri first? Later after the divorce deed of Jihan came out, just took it to the office of religious affairs.” Yuni who objected that the marriage of the son should be postponed.
Arif saw Jihan and Salma taking turns to ask for approval, he himself hesitated and slightly objected to agreeing to her request, but he also did not feel good about openly refusing.
“If Ummi agrees, anyway? Good intentions should be hastened.” Salma said and looked at Jihan. “How are you, Nak?”
Jihan fell silent while glancing at Radit who was also looking at her, and the handsome widower understood that the future wife was objecting.
“Hem, we'd better get married until Jihan's divorce deed comes out!” Tukas Radit's.
Yuni frowned. “Why, Nak?”
“I want to marry Jihan when she officially divorced religiously and legally, I don't want to cause trouble by doing something rushed.” Radit.
Arif smiled in response to the decision taken by the future son-in-law.
Yuni exhales resignedly.“Well then, I'll talk to my family again.”
“Iya, Ma'am. May Allah make things easy until H.” day Pungkas Arif's.
“Aamiin.”
Radit unceasingly smiled with a happy feeling.
