The Step Sister of Tiri

10. Proposal.

"You realize what you're saying? I just found out that you also have a sense of insecurity, too" Zayna sneered.

"Don't just talk. Who has no self-confidence? You are nothing compared to me!" furious Zanita.

"Oh, yeah! I'm not sure."

"You ...."

"What's? Don't wait this long papa and mama defend you, you can act as you please to me. Don't hope!"

It's been enough that Zayna has given up all this time. Sometimes his sister also needs to be bullied in order to respect him as a brother. However, it seemed to be a waste if the mother had never taught the woman to be polite. I don't know what this family will be that doesn't have a heart and feelings.

Zanita stomped her feet while walking outside the room. He will find a way to reply later, but the woman will have to make Zayna accept this proposal later. Zanita grinned, for this time she had to seduce the mother in order to make her brother, married to the man of her papa choice.

Whether the man is what he looks like, Zanita doesn't care as long as Fahri is just for him completely. It is better if the choice of the father is a useless man.

*****

In the evening after Isya, the door was knocked from the outside. Zanita opened it immediately. The woman was so enthusiastic about her papa guests this time. She can't wait to see her brother get married and get him to have a whole Fahri without fear of the man turning away.

As soon as the door opened, Zanita was stunned. Apparently in front of him now there is a man who is very handsome more than Fahri. The woman wondered, is this her sister's future husband? If true, Zayna's lucky.

"Assalamualaikum" said Ayman with a smile.

"Wa—waalaikumsalam," replied Zanita who was still silent and did not invite her guests to enter.

Ayman and his uncle looked at each other and asked, "Sorry, Miss. Is there a Mercy Master?"

"Oh, i—iya, there. Please come in."

Ayman and her uncle come in and sit in the living room, while Zanita goes into the dining room calling her mom and dad. The woman was fascinated by this man. If only he hadn't married already.Ah, never mind, he didn't want to dream.

"Ma, there's a man coming maybe it's Zayna's future husband. He came with a man."

"Oh, yes, your father also said he said Zayna's future husband came with his uncle" said Savina by arranging some cakes on a plate.

"So that's right Zayna's future husband? Very handsome, Ma! It's lucky for him!" ketus Zanita's.

"Lucky what? He's a motorcycle taxi driver. Better Fahri go everywhere."

"Jek's driver? That's right, Ma?" asked Zanita loudly. He did not believe what his mother said.

"Sstt .. don't be hard. It's like it's the truth. Already, you bring this drink and cake forward. Let Mama call papa."

Zanita is still sculpting, digesting her mother's speech. It feels unbelievable. A handsome guy he's a motorcycle-taker? It seems impossible. His skin looks white if indeed the man is a motorcycle taxi driver, it should be black or at least brown, but this is white!

Zanita took the food and drink that was on the table and took it out. He invited his guests to enjoy a snack first because his papa was cleaning himself. Women say goodbye to the future because there is something to be done. In fact, Zanita wants to see what vehicle her guests use.

As expected, in front there was only a motorbike with two helmets. They must have been shaking. The woman smiled cynically at the thought of her brother's future husband, who was indeed a perfect fit for her.

'Look, Zayna. Your future husband is nothing compared to my husband. From the past you have always lost to me, ' Inner Zanita with an understated smile.

While in the living room, Ayman and his uncle are still waiting for the owner of the house. Not long after, Grace came out with his wife. He greeted his guests kindly. They chatted for a moment then Mr. Grace asked Savina to call Zayna.

The woman complied with her husband's request. He called out to his stepdaughter tightly. Zayna just silently followed Savina from behind. It is undeniable that the girl felt stubborn, either because of nervousness or fear.

"Ah, that's my eldest daughter, Mr. Doni," said Mr. Grace to his uncle Ayman.

"It's worth it that my niece is in love, your daughter is so beautiful" Doni praised making the two middle-aged men laugh.

"You're too complimentary."

Ayman did not blink to see Zayna. While the girl had just lowered her head. He did not dare to see what his papa guest looked like. Savina who saw that became furious and immediately pulled Zayna's body to align with her.

The girl immediately raised her head and was really surprised to see the young man sitting in front of her. His palm suddenly cooled, his body trembling. It was unexpected with this miracle he saw.

'Subhanallah. What a gift you have, O God. I doubted it before, but now I am absolutely sure of Your miracle, Zayna's inner being.

A few months ago. Before Zayna decided to marry Fahri, the girl performed the prayer of istikharah. Asking God for guidance, is it true that her lover is the best mate for her? However, it was precisely the faces of others that appeared at that time.

Feeling unsure, he repeated the Istikharah prayer several times and the one present still remained the same face of the man as before. Zayna did not know him at the time. Seeing her was never the girl continued her marriage plans with Fahri and eventually failed.

Now when he saw Ayman's face, of course Zayna was surprised. He still remembers that face. The face that was once present in his dream after the prayer of istikharah. Even sometimes the girl has been dreaming lately.

"Don't look at it, Le. Not yet halal," reprimanded Doni—paman Ayman.

"Ah, sorry, Uncle."

Ayman immediately shifted his eyes, and so did Zayna. Both are nervous. There was a tremor in their hearts that could not be expressed in words. The girl hoped that this man was the soul mate God gave her.

"Previously, let me introduce this niece of mine. His name is Ayman, he's thirty. His job as a motorcycle taxi driver. Our intention here is to propose to Mr. Grace's son named Zayna. May Mr. Grace agree to it and give them their blessing" said Doni.

"I'm completely giving Zayna a decision. He will live it" replied Grace.
