After Nina had already finished everything, she headed to the tolet mirror that was available inside her room. The room, which is only three square meters, is more spacious after the house is renovated. Salem wall paint is very sweet to look at that is identical with the favorite color of the Eve, including Nina.
Nina polishes her face with moisturizer to stay awake and healthy. Although she could not afford expensive skincare, Nina was very diligent in taking care of her body and face traditionally. Nina who that night wore flower motif sleeping pajamas made her look very charming.
"Mother, where's Father?" tanya Nina approached Aminah who was already sitting in the living room after finishing cooking dinner.
"Please wait a minute, I'm still in the bathroom. Here, sit!" invite Bu Aminah to grab Nina's hand and pull closer to her side.
Shortly after, Mr. Anwar came with a face that was still wet, it looked like the middle-aged had just finished ablution. Cocoa clothes and sarongs that are always not separated from the body have become a characteristic of Pak Anwar in his daily life.
"Nina, are you home, son?" ask her father to say hello. Because since earlier after Nina's arrival from work had not met the princess at all.
"Yes, Dad. It's just finished taking a shower" Nina replied with a smile. The living room was silent. Nina who felt there was an important thing that would be conveyed both her parents became wondering.
"Nina. I want to talk about something important. It concerns the family of Mr. Alkaf and Mr. Zainiyah. I hope what I've decided before I ask you is acceptable, son." Starting off with a serious talk and it made Nina even more erratic.
"Last noon, they came here and talked about many things," Anwar began to tell all what he had heard from Mr. Alkaf and all his complaints. Not to forget also the story of his son who until now could not open his heart to a woman in life because the past has nourished that heart with deviant deeds.
Nina who heard that was very surprised and unexpected. How could the child of a respectable family have such conduct? But it was only in Nina's mind, and there was no way she could say that in front of her father.
"He also had an engagement with the son of Alkaf's friend. But all failed because the relationship could not continue. It was indeed the woman who decided that, but the son of Alkaf himself also still could not have any changes. Therefore, Alkaf decided himself to choose his son's future wife. And, I intend to set you up with their son."
The last explanation from his father was that made Nina face lifted up to look at the father who had noticed the reaction of Nina herself. Before Nina opened her mouth to ask a question, Mr. Anwar preceded her to say.
"Nina, we're living it can't match what we planned. God has arranged that scenario. Same about soul mate. If men can determine their own soul mate, it is the same as we who govern the giver of life. In addition to my father receiving this matchmaking because he wanted to help and return the goodwill of the Alkaf family, there is another reason behind it all," continued Mr. Anwar.
Perhaps the problems the family faced had reminded him of the promise that had been spoken in the heart without anyone knowing other than God. Is He not the All-Knowing of what is in the hearts of His people?
"The second reason you want to make you the wife of Alkaf's son is to scavenge a great reward, and that is only you who can do it. Suppose you agree to marry a man who has violated the nature of God, and they want to repent. Then all the rewards will flow to anyone who will guide him sincerely.
And if you become his wife, and manage to take her down the straight path and most importantly she is completely cured of the disease that has been the source of her greatest problems. It cannot have love or attraction to the opposite sex.
If in this case you are able to do it, it is not you who get the great reward, but we as parents will also get the reward from God. So please accept this father's goodwill that will make you a noble woman who will be a wife because of God. Besides the reward you will get. We'll be able to help the family out of their biggest problem.
This is our chance to help the Al-Gazali family, son. I hope you have great heart in addressing and accepting this match. Describe your heart to pursue the reward in the way of God, and you will be a woman of great soul."
At length Pak Anwar explained what was the reason for him to make nina as the future wife of Mr. Alkaf. Nina who looked down obediently did not dare to look into the eyes of the father.
As long as he lives. His father never asked for anything or demanded anything from him. So for the first time her father asked her for it. Maybe he will refuse? Nah! Nina could not be the child who would disappoint the person who had raised her with such a struggle.
Maybe this is the right time to return the sweat that came out of his father's body because he was tired of making a living to live it until now adults. It was impossible for Nina to refuse him.
With her chest stretched out, Nina tried to accept all the decisions of her father. While Bu Aminah who had just listened to the reason of her husband was intrigued. At first he thought Mr. Anwar only made that decision because of the form of return to Pak Alkaf.
But how noble her husband was with the thought of the multiplicity of a decision that he did not fully agree with. Now, Bu Aminah felt sincere with Nina who was betrothed to the son of Alkaf.
"If with Nina being the wife of Om Alkaf's child can be a charity and make Father and Mother happy, then Nina will approve of Father's decision." Nina finally answered with her choice of heart. Why did he feel so sincere when he said that?
