One week has passed.

Annisa is sitting in front of her laptop. Viewing the files of income and sales from her cake shop sent by Fatimah one of her employees through her e-mail. While Mom is watering plants in the front yard of her house. When Mother was busy watering the beautiful flowers that grew in her pot. Suddenly Mom saw a new black luxury car coming and parked right in front of her yard.

From the black car came down a handsome man in white high pus dashing, then stood in front of his car while looking around him.

*Ap*a this is Annisa's house, the girl Abi and Mommy are dating for me.

Muttered the man who was none other than Rafka the son of Ustad Maulana.

After he finished paying attention to his surroundings, he now stepped into the courtyard of Annisa's parents and then said his greetings.

"Assalamu'alaikum Mother." Sapa Rafka soft.

"Wa'alaikum salutations." Reply Mom while looking at Rafka's face and now Mother also walked up to her

"The passenger asked, Mom, is this Annisa's house?" Ask Rafka to Mom.

"Yes son, what's wrong?" Mom answered while looking at Rafka.

"Include Mom, I'm Rafka's son Ustad Maulana." Rafka said to tell him his identity.

"Son Rafka, my goodness, I almost didn't recognize you. I haven't seen you in a long time, maybe fifteen years ago, so I barely recognize you, son." Mother explained.

"It's okay, ma'am, Rafka almost forgot about this place" he replied gently.

"Let's go in and out, it just so happens that her Annisa is also inside." Mother said with her pleasure to allow her prospective daughter-in-law to enter her simple house. Rafka then follows her future in-laws from behind and enters the house.

Inside the house, Rafka looked around and saw there were many photos of the walls displayed there. Among the photos there his eyes were then fixed on a picture frame containing two girls were holding hands and smiling sweetly.

*Ap*a may be one of them is the soul mate that Abi chose for me.

Rafka murmured while watching the wall photo.

"Dad, look at this, who's coming." Mother said excitedly.

"What the hell is mom shouting - yelling.!! I'm still normal, so don't yell." Said Dad as he approached the living room.

"Eh . No Rafka boy. Let's sit down." Said Dad while letting Rafka sit down.

Dad already recognized Rafka because before her he had met her several times. So Rafka's face is no stranger to him, as well as Rafka who is very familiar with the face of his father Nisa.

Rafka who was on the side sat on the sofa.

"Mother to the back first. Rafka's gonna sit with Dad." Said the mother who was now hurrying past leaving them in the living room and going towards the family room.

When entering the family room. Mom saw her daughter Annisa was busy with her laptop. He came to his daughter while sitting next to her.

"Nisa looks like she's busy again." Mother asked softly while staring at the laptop screen owned by her daughter.

"Yes nih Bu, again checking the report sent by Fatimah." Annisa is still staring at her laptop screen.

"Son, I'm sorry if I disturbed you. But in front there's Rafka's son, you accompany him huh. After all, you don't know each other yet, so go see him so you can get to know each other." Mother's voice is soft.

"But Ma'am, Nisa's shy." Say it while looking down.

"Why should you be ashamed. Don't you have to know each other before the end of the marriage?" Said Mother while looking into her daughter's eyes.

"But Ma'am" said Annisa but was cut off by her mother.

"There's no buts. Now you close the laptop and go see your future husband." Mom said while holding Annisa's laptop.

"Oh yes, today said Mother Rafka you have to go to the boutique for wedding dress fittings. Maybe that's why Rafka came here to pick you up." Mother's words made Nisa even more nervous.

Not without reason Annisa was nervous. That's because before him he never walked with the opposite sex that is not at all known let alone have to be a car with him.

"Can't if Nisa doesn't need to fit her wedding dress." Nisa's

"No, you have to keep going. This is also your chance to get closer to each other." Mother explained.

"There's no buts. Rise up now and go meet him" said Mother who now stands from her seat.

"Have you, uh . . Where are you going?" Tanya Nisa who saw her Mother standing up from her sitting.

"Mom wants to make a drink for the future mother-in-law" said Mother smiling gently.

"Udah, I'll just sit there, let Nisa make us all drinks." Nisa then wakes up from sitting down after closing her laptop. He rushed to the kitchen and started making drinks.

.

.

.

After finishing making drinks, Annisa with her heart walked to the living room while carrying a tray containing drinks and cakes made by Nisa herself, he walked slowly - the land while slightly lowered his head.

" *D*s..

Nisa's heart was pounding as she looked at Rafka who was sitting on the living room sofa talking and smiling softly at Annisa's parents.

*Ta*mpan once.

He kept his feet up until he was in the living room. Annisa is a little nervous as she serves drinks and cakes that have been made by her.

*Ap*a this is the girl my parents betrothed.

Rafka muttered while looking at Annisa who was now sitting next to her mother.

"Please drink." Annisa said while looking down at her gaze, not daring to look directly at the face of Rafka who is now sitting in front of her.

Rafka then took the drink that Annisa served and drank it.

"Son Rafka, this is Annisa's father and mother's son." Said he introduced them both.

Pretty

Rafka smilingly looked towards Annisa as Dad introduced the two of them.

.

.

.

Not wanting to linger, Rafka then conveyed his intentions and goals to come there.

"Dad, Mother, actually Mother sent Rafka here to pick Annisa up, because we'll see the wedding dress today." Rafka said her intention to come to the house politely.

"Rafka also asked for permission from both Father and Mother to bring Annisa today." Rafka said again.

"Dad and Mom let you go, son. But remember, don't go home too late and take good care of Annisa, yeah." Say to Rafka.

"Well Dad, Rafka promised not to take Nisa home for the night and would look after her for Dad and Mom." Rafka.

Ibua and Dad smiled, relieved by Rafka's polite and gentle attitude, so that he did not have to worry about releasing his daughter with Rafka.

"Hmm, then let us go now, Dad, Mom." Rafka said as she got up from her seat.

Both of Annisa's parents nodded in agreement and then got up from her seat.

"Nisa, you go get ready to go with Rafka." Say to his daughter.

"Good Dad." Nisa said as she nodded, then left with a slight bow of her head.

He then went to his room and got ready.

He took his one steel robe and also his pashmina in the closet. Then

after getting ready, Nisa came out of her room and walked towards the front of the house.

There Mom and Dad and Rafka were waiting on the porch. Annisa who now looks beautiful by wearing after a dark green dress and a brown pashmina hijab then approached them. He smiled, but did not dare to look directly at Rafka who was in front of him.

"Dad, Mom, Nisa said yes." Nisa said goodbye while kissing her parents' hands.

"Yes, be careful." Said Dad to his daughter.

Annisa then gets into Rafka's luxury car. But he chose to sit in the back seat because of his skepticism towards the newly known Rafka.
