The Step Sister of Tiri

271. S2 - Request approval

"Sorry, Ayman. We're late" said a man who had just arrived to greet Ayman. Who else if not Lukman.

"It's okay, Lukman. You are like anyone" Ayman said with a smile.

They also salaman one by one. Arslan who saw the girl along with her father's friend, was quite amazed because it turned out, not as he thought. All this time the man thought if the girl he would be betrothed to was a cute and ugly girl. Ayman, who saw the son earlier, looked at the girl, nudging her leg to keep Arslan's eyes. The son of his best friend also from earlier just lowered his head.

"Is this your son, Lukman?" ayman asked while looking at the girl at a glance.

"Yes, she's my only daughter. His two younger brothers" replied Lukman who then looked at Arslan. "If this man must be your oldest son, huh?"

"Yes, just like your son, he's the only boy in my family. That's why I want him to get acquainted with your daughter so that we can work together and further strengthen our brotherhood."

"If I agree, it happens that my daughter has not come to be a wife. If it's your own son, how? I'm afraid she has a boyfriend."

"You don't worry about that. Arslan has no boyfriend either. Yeah, right, Ars?” ayman asked while looking at his son.

“I–iya, Pa,” answered Arslan stuttered because from now on, he just kept glancing at the girl in front of him.

This is called love at first sight. From the very beginning of meeting her heart rippled, there was something she had never felt. His heart was beating irregularly. Zayna smiled at him, the woman knew that the son had fallen in love.

He was grateful for that because he felt that this matchmaking was not a compulsion. The girl in front of him also seemed to be a good person. He kept his head down, meaning he could keep his eyes on him. Hopefully it will be like that, not just now who just want to find attention.

"So you've agreed to marry our son?" ask Lukman.

"Of course, all I leave to you. I'm sure you can find a good day for our children's wedding, but first it looks like my son wants to see the face of your daughter, who's been looking down all the time. All introduce ourselves, we don't know his name yet."

Lukman smiled, asking his daughter to raise her head so that her future husband could see her face clearly. The girl raised her head with a smile. Arslan's heart rippled when he saw his smile so sweet. Many times he said the words tasbih because it was so amazed, the creation of God in front of him.

"My name is Nurul Zahira, commonly called Hira," said the girl as she cupped her hands together on her chest.

"Look, Hira. In front of this friend Abi, his name is Pak Ayman and his wife. As Abi explained before. If Abi and Abi's friend intend to match you with his son and in front of you this is his son" said Lukman who then turned to looking at Arslan. "Please introduce yourself."

Arslan smiled as he nodded his head. "My name is Arslan Narendra Respati. Everyone used to call Arslan or Ars in short" Arslan said with a smile.

The girl in front of him also smiled, making Arslan increasingly difficult to breathe. Hira really made the man unable to turn away. In Arslan's heart asked, is it true if a girl as beautiful as Hira no one proposed. There may be, but they are always rejected or they dare not propose, given who Mr. Lukman really is.

"Alright, because everyone has agreed, we better just decide the day," said Lukman who was approved by everyone.

The parents begin to talk about their next plan, for their relationship. Arslan and Hira had always been looking. They don't interfere at all about the parent's talk. Both can only accept all decisions with sincerity.

In her heart, Hira admired the good looks of the man in front of her. He prayed that Arslan would be the best mate God had sent him. Although in her heart she once liked another man, but her love was only for her husband later. As an ordinary human would have had a sense of admiration for the opposite sex, but again it was only limited to a sense of admiration.

Their food came, everyone enjoyed the meal. Their wedding plans have been set, that one week they will be a contract. The reception will be held two months later. That's because everything must also need a process, while akad is just a simple event.

Meanwhile, Adam and Kinan were waiting for Hanif who was currently cleaning his body. They want to talk about Zea's departure. In Adam's heart convinced him that he would try to get his blessing.

Until not how long Hanif finally went down as well. He was astonished to see his wife and son in the living room with the television dead.

"It seems like there is something you want to talk about, until it looks so tense" said Hanif who then sat with them in the family room.

"Pa, I want to say some honesty. I hope Papa understands my feelings."

Hanif frowned, he was curious what the son wanted to talk about. "Tell me, what do you want to say, so seriously?"

"I love Zea, Pa. And I want Papa to bless me and Zea."

Hanif was shocked to hear what his son said. The man thought that the issue of Zea's feelings for Adam was over with her daughter's departure abroad. But it turns out he was wrong. Precisely now the son even said things that Hanif did not think. The man could not imagine if he had to actually marry his two children.

"What do you mean by saying that? Don't you already have a lover and will marry him? Do you want to play with women's feelings?" asked Hanif with a face full of emotion.

He did not like the attitude of Adam who seemed to play with the feelings of women. Once promised a marriage, it is now abandoned. The man also had a daughter, it was certain that Hanif could feel it.

"I realized I loved Zea all this time, Pa. I've been trying to cover it up all this time." Adam told me all about what happened in Alin's apartment. Also when he felt like he had lost half his soul, after knowing that his sister was leaving. Hanif listened carefully to the son's explanation without interrupting at all.

"So you made my daughter your escape?" asked Hanif with dislike.

"No, Pa. I have loved Zea for a long time. I was just trying to bury him on purpose. I will accept any punishment for me, but please do not separate me and Zea. Please bless us, Pa.”

Adam bowed before Hanif with tears. The man did not care if anyone said he was a crybaby, what was important to him at this time was the blessing of the father. Kinan, who could not bear, bowed down beside his son. This was the only thing he could do for his children, after having been silent from yesterday.

“Mama, why follow?” asked Hanif who was trying to help Kinan to wake up.

But the woman refused. He wanted to help his son and no longer cared what outsiders would say about his family. Adam and Zea were also not related by blood, nor were there any mothers of milk.

"Alright, now that you two wake up first, we'll talk about it carefully" said Hanif who eventually relented.

After a second thought, there was no harm in Adam and Zea being together. They also have no blood relation, let them say what. What matters now is that his family is happy. He also felt sad to be away from his daughter, but the man was unlikely to return Zea.

Adam and Kinan finally got up and sat down on the sofa they had been sitting on. "Papa did agree with Adam and Zea together, but Papa also has a condition for you, Adam "
