The Heart of Raisya
Abi's Decree
For this one week I haven't had the answer I'm going to give Mas Faisal. But yesterday Abi had asked me to first meet his friend's son. But I did not want to, and because I did not want to make Abi disappointed, of course I gave an excuse that I was doing the process of ta'arruf with someone.
And it turns out Abi gave another response.
THE BLASH BACK
When I, Ummi, and Abi were sitting relaxed in the living room while watching TV.
"Raisya, Abi wants to talk." Abi said seriously.
"Yes, Abi. What does Abi want to talk about?"
"Please listen to Abi! Not that Abi wants to force it, but it's for your own good. Abi wants to see you happy in the household." Abi paused, then turned to Ummi. Ummi just nodded, giving the approval code "Yesterday Mr. Handoko to meet Abi, he wants to bring your son together. Abi just answered like yan Ummi you said last time. But he really hopes that you will be introduced to his son. Abi won't force you, because you can already determine for yourself. But Abi hopes you can consider. Not good too long alone! Abi and Ummi are no longer young, we want our old age to live happily with our grandchildren."
"Sorry Abi, actually Raisya is currently undergoing ta'arruf with someone. Rai has not told Abi and Ummi because Rai has not been able to give a decision to his people. Tomorrow Raisya will give a decision, but until now Raisya has not received any more clues.
"Who is he, Rai?" Ask Abi curiously. I finally told Abi and Ummi the truth about Mas Faisal. There he is, his work, and his origin.
Abi and Ummi listened to me quietly.
"Look at it, Rai. Introduce Faisal to Abi, get him here! Abi will judge him directly. Abi will help make the decision. That is even if you allow. Mr. Handoko's problem later let Abi reject it."
"Alright, Abi. Of course Abi can give a decision in this matter. But Rai's ashamed, Abi. "
"It's for the common good, don't waste the opportunity. Maybe he is your soul mate. Tomorrow afternoon tell him to come here. Otherwise, Abi will be forced to introduce you to Mr. Handoko's son." Abi said firmly.
FLASH BACK OFF

During my break at school, I sent a message to Mas Faisal.
💌Raisya
Assalamu'alaikum, I'm sorry if I disturbed Mas. Today is even a month of our exploratory process. There are greetings from Abi, Mas told to play at home later in the afternoon. God willing Abi will give a direct answer to Mas. Can you go home?
💌Faisal
Salam wa'alaikum... God willing can Rai. I am ready to accept his decision later. I hope I don't go home biting my fingers.
💌Raisya
Biidznillah Mas, whatever the decision will hopefully be the best. Amyn....
💌Faisal
Amyn...

I smiled reading her reply. I'm actually still thinking about that dream. But Abi says sometimes dreams are flowers of sleep. Sometimes the clues can be from something else.
Going home taught me I took the time to take a nap, because it felt tired and coughing. I woke up because there was a message notification on my HP.
💌Faisal
Raisya.. I'm ready to leave. 20 minutes more insyaallah arrive. Pray I'll be accepted ya😁.
💌Raisya
Yes, be careful on the road. Don't speed.

I hurried to go to the bathroom, and immediately prayed Ashar. After that wear a pink home dresser and a rectangular hijab.
"Ummi, Mas Ical is already on the way. Maybe we'll be here soon. Where's abi?"
"After Ummi woke up first, your brother had not woken up." Ummi went back to his room.
I was nervous and scared, too. Because I'm still confused by this. On the other hand I don't want to disappoint him, but on the other hand I'm not sure yet.
I paced around in the room. I've never had a male guest like this time. I am ashamed of my parents.
Five minutes later, Mas Faisal arrived. It turns out that he didn't get in the car, but got on his motorbike.
"Assalamu'alaikum." He said in the doorway.
"Wa'alaikum salutations." Me and Ummi answered the greetings together. Because we were in the living room. Abi still prays Ashar.
"Send in, Rai." Ummi.
"Let's go in, Mas."
"Yes thank you."
"Please sit down, son." Connect Ummi.
"Thank you, Mom." Mas Faisal both hands on the chest.
I introduced Ummi to Mas Faisal, and vice versa. Don't forget I'll get you drinks and snacks to treat Mas Faisal.
"Please drink first, Mom."
"Thank you, Rai."
Not long after that, Abi approached us. Mas Faisal stood up and kissed the back of Abi's hand.
"So Son? Not a stray, right?"
"It's only now, thank God, not Om."" he replied. I see he's not as usual. Maybe because of the groggy. Abi is actually a person who is easy to get along with and can adjust to age. Connect if spoken to by all.
After a long conversation about work and other problems, Abi began to get serious.
"Look, Son! Raisya already told me about Nak Faisal. We as parents want to give our best. It is not a matter of material things, but of heart and responsibility. What else Raisya has failed in marriage. Is Faisal's son able to accept his past?"
"God willing I accept, Om. The most important thing for me is the present, and the future.
"Alhamdulillah then, I will not make any further pleasantries. I am very happy to meet Nak Faisal. If I and Umminya Insyaallah are very happy and accept the good intentions of Nak Faisal. Maybe Raisya is still not convinced, because he still has trauma in the past. Next, bring old man Nak Faisal here to meet us.
"Alhamdulillah, so I accepted Om?"
"Yes Nak Faisal, we accept with open arms. But before, Nak Faisal introduced Raisya to your family. Jsngan until they are not the same thought as you.Newly you come here and immediately betrothed Raisya. Good intentions should be encouraged.
"Did Om allow me to take Raisya to see my parents in the other city?
"Maybe son, as long as not both. You can take Rendy and Rindi with you.
Not good both ways, which to the devil. Don't you think, Faisal boy? Abi said with a joke.
"Good, Om. God willing, I will talk to Raisya again. Thank you for giving me the chance, Om."
"Yes, son."
After a long conversation, Mas Faisal said goodbye to go home. Because there is still work to be done.
"Rai, Faisal's a gentle man huh?" Ummi said as Mas Faisal had already disappeared from sight.
"Yes, Ummi." Answer me with a smile.
"Thank God, Rai. Hope this is a good start. And may you be fooled! Ummi likes Faisal, his son is simple and seems humorous.
"Milk..." I'm following Ummi's do'a.
Finally, when we entered Maghrib, we prayed together.
I told Mbak Rindi and Sofi about the decision that has been given to Mas Faisal. They are happy to hear it. What's more Mas Rendy and Mbak Rindi, they are people who played a big role in our introduction.
