Chapter 86

At the break Aulia was shocked when she got a message from Ning Annisa. That his best friend was getting married because he was trapped in the library with a male student. He immediately contacted his best friend.

"Assalamualaikum, Ning Annisa."

^^^"Wa'alaikumsalam, Aulia." ^^^

"This is a message, right? Not prank, is it?"

^^^"Unfortunately the news is true. This morning I was caught off guard by the principal and Mas Fathir was locked up with Rafael in the library's special room."^^^

"What's? How did that happen?"

^^^"The door is damaged and cannot be opened from the inside. It's all because of Rafael, so we've both been locked up there all night. A-hk, no! Me and him were locked up from after school until early in the morning."^^^

"Astaghfirullahal. But, you guys didn't do a no-no, did you?"

Aulia wanted to tease her best friend because she rarely heard Ning Annisa whine like this. He was curious about the boy named Rafael.

^^^"Astaghfirullahal'adhim. Aulia you think I'm a girl what? Although Rafael is handsome and growing up, I have no desire to do anything with him."^^^

Aulia chuckled softly at Ning Annisa's grumbling. Being able to judge girls can make their feelings and thoughts become light because of the thought of marriage invitation from Alvan and Rangga.

"I believe in you, Ning Annisa. How could you do such a thing as Allah forbids."

^^^"Pray me so that I can live a domestic life with my flocking husband later."^^^

Aulia laughed as she imagined Ning Annisa would be side by side with a man in a gray white uniform. That is the secret of a soul mate that has been determined by God. Ning Annisa used to love Ustadz Azka and had dreams of being the wife of that shy man. However, it turned out that he was even fooled by the student he was teaching. (Ning Annisa's household story with Rafael is in Assalammu'alaikum's novel, Ning Annisa)

"May be a sakinah family, mawadah, warahmah. A family that always gets blessings, grace, and happiness in your daily life."

^^^"Aamiin. May you also soon find a soul mate."^^^

"Aamiin's."

^^^"Thank you, Mr. Narcis, who has that high level of confidence!"^^^

"Who do you mean? Mr Alvan? Rangga? Or Gus Fathir?"

^^^"Wow, does my best friend still wish to be my sister-in-law? Good then, I'll have a friend take care of the kid."^^^

"Wah .. wow, just getting married is already thinking of a child. I think I should get ready to buy a gift of baby gear, nih!"

^^^"No .. no! That's not what I meant. That's later, later! It's still a long time."^^^

"It's okay, really, next year will launch the baby as well."

Aulia was satisfied and happy to tease this bride-to-be. He feels happy, if his good friend is also happy with his impromptu marriage.

The next day, Gus Fathir came to Aulia's house. He brought gifts from his parents to Grandpa Joseph and Grandma Halimah. 

"Aulia is for you" said Gus Fathir, giving a small paper bag containing various accessories brooch and some kumplit hijab with a veil.

"Terima kasih," balas Aulia saat menerima paper bag berwarna biru.

"Wear, yes!" pinta Gus Fathir's.

"God's Insha" replied Aulia.

"Then, Aulia when is it your turn to get married?" seductive Grandma Halimah.

Aulia instead hugged the old woman's body and whined in embarrassment for being seduced. Grandpa Yusuf and Grandma Halimah smiled faintly.

"Hopefully the soul mate for Aulia will soon be united in the sacred bond of marriage," said Grandpa Yusuf comforting the woman who had been considered a child by him.

"Ustadz Yusuf .. Ustadzah Halimah, may I reapply Aulia to be my wife. I still have feelings of love for Aulia" said Gus Fathir.

Aulia raised her head and directed a glance at Gus Fathir. He thought that Gus Fathir would not say that when he was troubled by the proposal from Alvan and Rangga. Kumplit is already a burden on Aulia's mind now. The three men around her recently got married.

"How, Aulia?" ask Grandpa Yusuf.

"I don't know, Cake. Mr. Alvan and Mr. Rangga also invited me to marry him," replied Aulia with a soft and teary eyes.

Gus Fathir's heart was again slashed though not torn apart. He knew that many people liked Aulia. So, he must also be able to make Aulia's heart feel comfortable and happy.

"Aulia, my love for you, is not diminished. It just keeps growing from day to day. I love you so much, Aulia!" Gus Fathir expresses his feelings before he leaves Aulia's house.

The two men stood in the courtyard of the house, decorated with a star-studded night sky. The silent atmosphere of the night made the two people able to hear the sound of their respective hearts beating fast.

"I want to spend the rest of my life with you" continued Gus Fathir with eyes still pointing to the idol.

"Me," said Aulia quietly, "cannot yet answer this. I myself still feel confused by my current feelings," Aulia replied softly.

Gus Fathir felt guilty for putting the woman in doubt. It felt like he wanted to hug Aulia and give her some calm.

"You must not force yourself. I just express my feelings. You have the right to accept or reject it. I will not be angry with you" said Gus Fathir in a soft voice.

Both their pairs are fighting each other. The feelings that used to often decorate their daily lives are felt again. 

"Astaghfirullahal'adzim." (Aulia and Gus Fathir)

Both of them turned their faces away. The tremors in their hearts made the owner fear sin, which is called adultery of the eyes.

"I'll go home first. Assalamualaikum" said Gus Fathir now looking at his feet.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Be careful on the road," retorted Aulia who both bowed her head.

Now Aulia was even more dizzy thinking about the three men who wanted to propose her. He doesn't know who to choose? The man who became his first love. The man who led him down the straight path. Or a man who makes himself feel like a useful person, because he always teaches religious knowledge to him.

***

Who will Aulia choose? Gus Fathir's? The alvan? Or Rangga? Wait for it to go, yeah!

Read my latest work, too.

What would happen if three pairs of newlyweds met with their former lovers?

Adelia, accept an arranged marriage with Andra. A man she didn't know at all. She accepts the match after breaking up with Bram, who is caught sleeping with Bella.

Andra, wanting revenge on Citra who betrayed her, only to be able to marry Candra, a wealthy businessman. His grandfather promised to give him all his wealth if he wanted to marry Adelia.

Who would have thought when they started a household life, even neighbors with the former.

The three couples, in order to heat up the exes, were willing to perform a charade. That is, always be romantic with his partner, if in front of their ex.

Are they going to fall in love with their current partner?

Or will they go back to their ex?
