Diftha stared at the mansion before her. The house of Doctor Faris who is none other than the uncle and guardian of Saskia. May this step that Diftha takes be true and guided by Allah.
In fact, since hearing the melodious voice of Saskia who was teaching in the Gizta treatment room at that time, Diftha immediately decided to pray istikharah and ask for guidance to God. Diftha always asked God to be given ease, if indeed Saskia is the soul mate of Diftha.
And everything seems to be answered now. Diftha's journey to this city to propose to Saskia, as if completely facilitated by God. Even when looking for the address of Doctor Faris, Diftha did not meet any obstacles.
Greeeeek!!!
The sound of the gate suddenly opening, instantly jolted Diftha's daydream. A pick up car transporting iron to the event tent, out of Doctor Faris' house. Diftha guessed it was the tent of Dr. Faris' granddaughter's aqiqahan event that Saskia told me yesterday. Does that mean his aqiqahan event is over?
"Who are you looking for, Mas?" Ask a security who saw Diftha still standing in front of the fence.
"Doctor Faris is there, sir?" Diftha replied slightly stuttering.
"It's inside."
"Please enter!" Said security which immediately made Diftha nod. Security then immediately drove Diftha to the porch of the house. There are still some vendor workers who dismantle the rest of the tent in the yard of Doctor Faris' house is so spacious.
Diftha just arrived at the porch of the house, when Saskia was involved out while carrying a baby. Of course, the girl was immediately coaxed to learn of Diftha's arrival.
"Diftha..."
"Assalamualaikum," said Diftha, smiling at Saskia, who, despite wearing only a simple home-based and bergo, still looks elegant and beautiful.
"Wa-walaikum hail," replied Saskia whose hand was still holding the baby in her arms.
"Doctor Faris is there?" Ask Diftha to the point.
"There!" Saskia nodded quickly.
"Please enter!" Saskia said as she stepped back into the house, and Diftha immediately followed Saskia's steps.
"Sit down!" Saskia pointed to the sofa in the living room, and Diftha immediately sat there.
"Who, Ki?" Ask a hijab-wearing woman who just came out of the house.
"Uncle's Guests, Brother!" Saskia answered while giving the baby in her carrier to the hijab woman earlier. It looks like the baby's mother.
"Assalamualaikum, Brother!" Said Diftha to Saskia's cousin earlier while cupping both hands in front of the chest.
"Greetings hallaikum!"
"He called Uncle first," said Saskia then who had quickly disappeared into the house.
"Papa's friend, or Kia's friend?" Ask Saskia's cousin earlier to Diftha.
"Both, Brother!" Jaeab Diftha was a little misbehaved.
"Oohhhh!"
At the same time, Dr. Faris had come out to greet Diftha.
"Diftha!"
"Assalamualaikum, Doctor!" Diftha said, directly kissing the back of Doctor Faris' hand.
"Greetings hallaikum!"
"Sit down!" Doctor Faris said.
Not long after, Saskia had come out again with a tray of drinks and cakes for Diftha. The atmosphere was momentarily silent, as Saskia served the drink and cake on the table. Until finally Saskia and the cousin went back inside again, then the conversation between Doctor Faris and Diftha began.
"Gizta how?" Doctor Faris asked a little.
"Thank God, there's been a lot of progress, Doctor!"
"It has begun to stand up and not stutter anymore" said Diftha told all progress Gizta development.
"Alhamdulillah!"
"God willing, Gizta will grow up to be a normal girl after this, huh!"
"Aamiin aamiin ya robbal alamiin." Diftha replied quickly to all the good prayers that Dr. Faris made.
"First of all I would like to personally express my gratitude for all the efforts and hard work of the Doctor in dealing with Gizta yesterday-"
"It has become my duty and duty, Diftha!" Doctor Faris said quickly.
"And the healing of Gizta is a miracle from God. So thank God too" said Dr Faris again.
"Yes, Doctor!" Diftha nodded.
"Then the second one...." Diftha paused for a moment and instead stared at the tea cup that had been served by Saskia. Diftha suddenly felt groggy, even though he had memorized the sentence he was about to say to Doctor Faris.
"The second why?" Doctor Faris asked Diftha's daydream.
"Secondly, my purpose for coming here was to apply for Saskia, Doctor!" Diftha finally said after the man took a long breath over and over again.
"I intend to make Saskia my wife, Doctor! That's why I came here to propose it directly to Doctor Faris who is the guardian of Saskia," said Diftha again at length with a more firm and steady tone.
"So, you already know about what happened to Saskia's parents, huh?" Ask Dr. Faris to make sure.
"Already, Doctor!" Diftha nodded quickly.
"Mother Mary told me everything" Diftha said.
Doctor Faris nodded.
"Saskia has been an orphan since she was fifteen. So, if you really want to marry her, you have to accept whatever Saskia's shortcomings will become."
"You should be able to take on the role not only as a husband, but also as a friend and as a father to Saskia. Can you do that?" Doctor Faris asked once more while looking firmly at Diftha.
"God willing Diftha can do it, Doctor. Because Diftha herself is also an orphan, so Diftha can understand how Saskia has been feeling all along, " said Diftha while taking a deep breath.
"That's it!"
"Uncle really appreciates your courage to come and propose to Saskia in person, Diftha!"
"But still the decision is in Saskia's hands whether she accepts your proposal or not. Uncle will ask directly to Saskia," said Dr. Faris then who immediately made Diftha nod even though Diftha's heart was now beating uncharacteristically.
Diftha had not even said anything to Saskia and now she had the confidence to come here to propose. Looks like Diftha has to be mentally prepared, for example, it turns out that Saskia rejected his proposal.
"Kia!" Call Dr. Faris then to Saskia who seems to have eavesdropped on Diftha and Dr. Faris.
"Kia, come!" Call Doctor Faris again.
"Yes, Uncle. What's up?" Saskia answered, finally revealing her face again. The girl immediately sat down beside the uncle and lowered her face.
"Kia, just now Diftha has expressed his good intentions to propose and edit you as his wife."
"So, are you willing, or refusing, or willing to think?" Doctor Faris asked the nephew.
Saskia did not immediately reply, and the two girls' hands were seen reprinting each other*s.
"How, Kia? Still want to think?" Ask Dr. Faris again.
"No, Uncle," replied Saskia.
"So, will you answer right now?"
"Yes!" Saskia still lowered her face.
"And the answer?" Doctor Faris asked impatiently, with Diftha almost asphyxiated waiting for Saskia's answer.
"He will, Uncle," replied Saskia at last who of course immediately made Diftha give thanks.
"Alhamdulillah!" Said Diftha and Doctor Faris in unison.
