Arsyad arrived home, all his family was waiting in front of his house.

"Syads....Syad from wherever you are. It's time." said Papah Rico.

"Well, the story is long, Arsyad wants to pray Isya first keep getting ready" he replied as it passed.

"Yes it's fast." said Rico.

Arsyad went into his room he immediately took a bath and changed his clothes and prayed Isya.

"Oh my God, strengthen this heart to see my sister's happiness tonight. Hope Annisa and Arsyil can be happy. Please erase the feeling that is still left in my heart for Annisa O God, don't you wake up even more majestic this feeling in my heart for Annisa so that I can open my heart to a woman who will be my companion. Forgive me, O God." Arsyad do'a watered after the completion of prayer.

Arsyad came out to his family who had been waiting for him.

"Let's go now?"take Arsyad to everything.

"Let's be a little late this brother." said Arsyil.

"Iya Syil let's go with my brother's car papah and mother."Arsyad told Arsyil.

"Vin, you're the same Shita, right?"ask Arsyad to Vino.

"Yes Syad."answered.

They enter each other's cars. Arsyad's car left first, followed by Vino and Ray's car and his family. In the car, Arsyad was silent. Preparing his heart and arranging his heart so that he can accept the reality. Yes, today Annisa will be officially engaged to Arsyil, that means Arsyad's heart will be slightly injured. Yeah a little bit because Arsyad is slowly throwing away his feelings for Annisa. But, there was still a sense left in his heart.

"Sister, where have you been long home?"ask Arsyil.

"Did Shita not tell you Syil?" Arsyad asked Arsyil.

"No brother." replied Arsyil.

"Shita didn't say anything to us either, it's a reward" said Andini who sat in the back.

"Well, where are you from?"ask Rico his papa.

"At the time of returning home, Arsyad met Abah on the side of the road because his car broke down. Continue to ask Arsyad to help send him to the city to invite Almira" explained Arsyad.

"Change? Abah Fajri?"ask Rico.

"Yes papah, who else if not Abah Fajri." replied Arsyad.

"Cie..have called you brother. I just want a fiancee just call her papah Nisa om kok."sahut Arsyil tease her brother.

"Syil, I want to call what try, the driver just called him Abah. Yes, I follow."

"That means Mira's home? I wonder what Mira looks like." Andini said.

"You see how you're wearing mother's face." - Sahut Arsyad.

"Women can see. Yeah, I'll take you to my mom's room, let me see what Almira looks like. I'm very curious."

"Maybe tonight came to Arsyil's fiancee's show. Abah invited Om Rizal too, had said the same Arsyad so." explained Arsyad.

"Hopefully come along." Andini said.

Soon they arrive at Annisa's house. All of the Annisa family welcomed Rico's family. The guests have also partly come at Mr. Rizal's house. Arsyil's engagement went well. All guests enjoy the dinner that has been provided. Arsyad looks aloof sitting on the patio chair. As for Arsyil, he was with Annisa to meet her guests.

A car came into Mr. Rizal's yard. Everyone in the car came out one by one. Abah Fajri and the family come to Arsyil and Annisa's engagement. Almira also participated in the engagement of Arsyil and Annisa.

"Arsyad."Call Abah Fajri.

"Change....Ummi just came?"arsyad asked while kissing the hands of Abah Fajri and Umm Rahmah.

"Yes, why are you outside?" ask Abah.

"Into the sultry. Come on Abah, Ummi's in." Arshad invited Abah and his family.

"Syad, why just take Abah with Ummi."celtuk Almira.

"Oh.iya, let's go inside" Arsyad told Mira.

Ummi and Abah were just smiling looking at her daughter like that.

"Syad.syad. But, kueknya kebangetan, haughty anyway. Ummi, Abah why would you betroth me to someone like him." muttered Mira inwardly.

"I forgot there was Mira, I didn't care at all about her beside Ummi." - Arsyad muttered in his heart.

Abah and his family met Mr. Rizal as well as Rico.

"Good night Mr. Rizal, Mr. Rico." said Abah Fajri.

"Good night, Mr. Fajri" they replied.

"This is Mr Fajri's daughter?"ask Mr. Rizal.

"Oh yes, this is Almira my daughter sir. He just returned from Cairo to continue his S3" replied Mr. Fajri.

"Ohh.sama like you Syad means, both graduates from Cairo" said Mr. Rizal.

"Yes" answered Arsyad with a smile.

"Oh.This is Almira?"ask Andini.

"Yes aunt."answered.

They chatted together, Andini got more familiar with Almira, they chatted while sneaking a little joke.

"Oh yeah aunt, where's Shita?"ask Almira.

"It seems in the middle room with Arsyil and Nisa as well" he replied.

"Syad took Almira to Shita there first." Andini tells Arsyad to take Almira to Shita.

"Emm..ayo Mira I'll take you there."

"Oh yes Syad. Aunt Mira went there first huh, Abah, Ummi Mira to Shita first huh?" pamit Mira's.

Mira walks on Arsyad to where Shita and the others are.

"Mira, it's Shita over there. Come on over there." - Arsyad.

Mira and Arsyad approached Shita and the others.

"Shita."Call Mira.

"Sister Mira...."Shita hugged Mira.

"How are you Shita?"ask Mira.

"Okay, sister how?"

"Alhamdulillah good. Ih.you fiancee didn't say brother Ta."

"Sister isn't Shita yet, so Shita doesn't know sister's contact. Oh right, sister, this is my sister Arsyil and this is her fiance Nisa. That's my fiancee Vino. And he's the brother who knows who?" Shita introduces her brother and teases Shita as well.

"Greetings know all of them. If it's next to me.." said Almira cut off.

"Mira, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten yet."sajak Arsyad.

"Sister..I would still like to chat with Kak Mira, play with Kak Mira eat."

"Yes Syad I don't want to eat yet, I want to talk to Shita first."

"Oh.yeah, I've been staying a while."

Arsyad goes out leaving them, Arsyad still feels awkward with Annisa who will be his sister-in-law.

"Sir Arsyad why not look at me at all, even he has not congratulated me and Arsyil" Nisa muttered in her heart.

"I know, brother, actually my brother's heart is not ready to accept all this. In fact, my brother did not congratulate me at all." - Arsyil muttered in his heart.

"Syil, Nis why are you quiet?"ask Shita.

"It's okay, brother." they replied.

"Oh yes Arsyil, Nisa congratulations huh? Good luck, quickly marry not too long, you are also Shita." said Almira.

"Sister Mira, we are waiting for Brother Arsyad to get married first, however Brother Arsyad our eldest brother sister." Answer Shita.

"Should it be like that?"ask Mira.

"Yes my brother" answered Arsyil

"Don't delay marriage, you already have a candidate should marry, don't be long Shita, Arsyil, it's not good. Even though you already have an engagement bond, but still the status is still dating." explained Mira.

"Just like Brother Arsyad said. You guys fit in, actually. Sis, would you like to be with Arsyad?" said Shita.

"How did you even talk about Arsyad? Already, the soul mate has arranged." said Mira.

They were still chatting with a little joke

Rayhan and Naura, who saw Arshad sitting on the front porch, walked over to Arshad.

"Syad, why are you here alone? Where are the others?"ask Ray who surprised Arsyad a little.

"You're Ray, just surprise me. It's in the same Almira" he replied.

"Almira Abah Fajri's son?"

"Yes Ray."

"Syad has let go, I know you're in a terrible pain to accept all of this. Syad, trying to get rid of love is hard. But, you don't be like this. Pity Arsyil with Annisa Syad. I see you're too full of feelings. You said you let go, but why are you like this." Rayhan tried to ease the indeterminate taste in Arsyad's heart.

"Yes Ray, I shouldn't be like this, nor have I congratulated Nisa and Arsyil. This feeling is too deep for Nisa Ray, I don't know why I can love a woman like this. Until I was so weak Ray." he said regretfully as he rubbed his face rough.

"Syad, this isn't the Arsyad I know. It's because your woman is weak like this." said Naura.

"Let's know Ra I don't know" he replied.

Arsyad was still talking to Ray, and suddenly Almira came to see Arshad and heard all that Arshad had to say with Ray and Naura.

"Syad, are you here?" Almira approaches Arsyad, Ray and Naura.

"Almira since when were you there?"ask Arsyad.

"From there."answered.

"You were here?"arsyad asked rather frantically for fear that Mira would know all of his talk with Ray and Naura.

"Yes, that's right, but I just came here to see you Syad."

"Ohh I guess I was here because I didn't see it. Oh yes this is my cousin Rayhan and this is his wife Naura."

"Oh.iya salam know."

"Mira, have you eaten?"

"Not Syad, from earlier chat with Shita and others inside. Have you eaten?"

"Not yet, let's eat? I'm with you." take Arsyad.

"Emm so, come on Naura, Rayhan all of you" Mira told Naura and Rayhan.

"Well, we both ate from before" replied Rayhan.

"Yes already let Mir eat first" said Arsyad.

Mira walks behind Arsyad towards the serving table. Mira and Arsyad took food and they sat in the chairs. Mira sat next to Arsyad with two seats in the middle of them. They ate without speaking a word when they finished eating they just started to open the conversation.

"Syad, can I ask you something?"

"Ask what Mira."

"Syad why do abah and ummi intend once to match me with you?"

Arsyad scrunched his forehead, he did not think that Abah and Ummi had told Mira about this matchmaking.

"Change and Ummi have you told me about this?"

"Yes, when I was in Cairo, I called and said that."

"Then how do you respond to this Mira?"ask Arsyad to Mira.

"Syad, yes I want to get married, especially when I'm this old. But, I don't want to marry someone who still loves the other woman in her heart." Mira's words make Arsyad stuck.

"You mean?"

"Syad, I know we are both adults, even our age is supposed to be married. I'm asking you to think about our parents' request Syad. If indeed we are paired we will meet and be united in a sacred bond. But, if not, may our parents relationship still be fine." explained Mira.

"Mira did you hear my conversation earlier with Ray and Naura?"ask Arsyad.

"Sorry Syad, I accidentally heard it. And, it turns out you love Annisa your sister's future wife. Sorry Syad."

Arsyad was silent. He was wrong. Because, until this moment he still kept that taste for Annisa.

"You're not wrong Mira, I'm wrong. I shouldn't have kept all that flavor."

"It's Syad, it's human, you still keep that feeling. But, after you actually found a woman to be in love with a wife, please forget all about Nisa. I don't know who will be your wife, me or another woman."

"Mir, do you agree with this matchmaking?"ask Arsyad.

"I agree. Because, my choice of people is definitely the best. But, after knowing all this, I'm not sure anymore you'll agree to it and I'm not forcing it" Mira replied.

Arsyad again digested Mira's words, he was still silent and finally Mira invited Arsyad to meet Arsyil.

"Syad, you haven't congratulated Nisa and Arsyil?"

"Kok you know?"

"Originally guess. Syad, there you meet your brother and his future wife. You know after you left us all inside, Arsyil's face turned to disappointment. Don't be like that Syad."

"Mira I've been trying not to be like this, somehow it suddenly feels like this Mira."

"Ikhlas Shad."

Mira leaves Arsyad, she returns to Shita and the others. Arsyad also entered and approached those who were chatting. He regained his heart after Almira advised him.

"Yes right, said Almira, I must be sincere. She's so mature even though Almira's her only child. Papah, mother thank you, your choice is the best for me." muttered Arsyad in heart.

"Mira, why did you just leave? I'm looking for you." said Arsyad who was behind Mira.

"I still want to chat with Shita. So, I came straight back here after eating."

"Oh so, Arsyil, Nisa congratulations huh. Sorry brother from earlier on the phone brother friend who was in ponpes."

"Aren't you really going there?"ask Arsyil.

"Yes, it will be Shil, in 2 months the brother will leave" he replied.

*****

The time is getting late, the Arsyil family came home, the guests also one by one have started to go home.

Mr. Fajri approached Almira who was with Arsyad and others to return home. Mr. Fajri and his family are ready to go home. They got in his car. Mr. Fajri looked at Almira who seemed to be very tired.

"Mira are you tired?"ask Abah.

"Is Mira going to ask you a question?"

"Yes can."

"How do you know that Arsyad likes Arsyil's fiancee?"

"Do you know where Mira came from?"

"From Arsyad, Mira had accidentally heard Arsyad and Rayhan, then I asked again with Arsyad to make sure yes or no and he told Mira everything. Abah, why did Abah and Ummi match Mira with Arsyad who did not like Mira at all. Can Mira live one-stop with a husband who does not love Mira Abah, Ummi?"said Mira.

"Son, the matter of love and love in a household that will grow with time, Abah knows you also do not like or even love Arsyad. Marriage is not just love and love, if you both love God sincerely, your household will be perfect, even if at first you do not love each other or like each other. After marriage you will feel a warmth that will foster a deep affection. True love grows from the seeds of deep affection for our partners." Abah Fajri tries to explain everything to his daughter.

"Rightly said Abah Mira, maybe you do not know that Abah and Ummi were also in a match. Even worse Abah already has a lover and Ummi was already. But, it is our parents' best choice." said Umm Rahmah.

"Mira, how are you going to accept this match?"ask Abah Fajri.

"Abah, Mira recites with Abah and Ummi, Abah and Ummi's choice is definitely the best for Mira. But, Mira it will take two or three more months huh Bah, Mi...Mira knows Arsyad still can't take it, let him finish taking away the feeling left in his heart for Annisa. Mira will wait." Mira explained.

"Whatever your decision, abah and ummi accept. Abah and Ummi love Mira, Abah and Ummi want you to live with a good husband, and Arsyad is our choice" said Abah Fajri.

"Yes Mira tau Abah, Ummi. Oh yes Abah, Ponpesnya Pakde Fahmi in the city of Y is called Ponpes T right Bah?" Ask Mira.

"Yes, why are you asking that?"

"Yesterday Budhe called and said he needed a female teacher to teach a class of female students. And, budhe asked Mira to teach there. Even more surprising, Arsyad will also teach there Abah, he told Mira the same time in the mosque after the airport."

"really? If you want to teach there you will not forbid it. Abah later told your uncle not to find another man, because you already have a future husband and teach there as well. If you don't tell me, your pakdhe must be looking for him. Because, she'd love to see you marry Mira."

"It's up to you."

Abah Fajri's family has arrived at home, as well as Rico's family, they have also reached his home. When just entering the house Arsyad invites to talk to all family members.

"Father, mother, Arsyil and Shita, Arsyad wants to talk for a minute."

"Let's just talk in the living room" Rico said.

They walked towards the living room to talk about what Arsyad wanted to say.

"What is Syad." asked Rico.

"Before, Brother apologized to you first Syil because of the nature of brother like that earlier."

"Sister, I know how you feel, I understand brother, I'm okay brother." said Arsyil.

"Thank you Syil. I'm sorry, brother Syil."

"Yes my sister."

"Father, mother, Mira had known that Arsyad had loved Annisa." said Arsyad who made all his family shocked.

"Can you tell Mira?"ask Arsyil.

"When I was talking to Ray he heard it." replied Arsyad.

"Well, will Arsyad's match with Mira continue? Arsyad felt bad for Mira pah, he heard everything." said Arsyad on his Papa.

"He should know it, Shad. Then, how was Mira after knowing everything?"

"He will obey his parents, and will give time to Arsyad to solve Arsyad's heart problems. Forgive Arsyad pah, especially Arsyil. Forgive brother Syil."

"Sister, I know how you feel, Arsyil believes Mira is the best for you. Forgive Arsyil too brother."

"Already, you are all our proud children. At times like this, you still support each other. Let's take a break at night." said Rico.

"Yes, let's just rest. You must be very tired."sahut Andini.

They went into their rooms to rest.
