The Step Sister of Tiri

313. S2 - Agree

Hira felt strange with his two sisters-in-law, who had just been silent. Sometimes the view is empty, sometimes not connected if spoken to. He wants to ask. However, it was disinclined when they saw their expressions.

The woman thought that the two were fighting, but why did they come here at the same time. It was of course a question of its own in its head. Until the sound of Baby Icha's cry resuscitated her and made Hira come and hold her daughter. He tried to calm the little baby down, until he fell asleep again.

Both of his sisters-in-law were still silent with their hands holding their phones. Hira sat on the sofa in the middle of the two. She couldn't bear to not ask, the woman wanted to know what happened to them maybe she could help.

"What problem are you guys actually having? You came here instead of looking at your nephew? But why from just now just be quiet, even busy with their respective phones. What was that about coming here? It is better at home to sleep than to be quiet" asked Hira at length.

Aina exhaled a coarse breath, then cast a glance in the other direction. She seemed reluctant to answer her brother's questions, as well as Aini. However, they also needed to ask for the opinion of his sister-in-law. However, Hira must know Ustaz Ali better.

A little bit must know about that guy. Aini also ventured to ask her sister-in-law first.

"Hira has known Ustaz Ali for a long time?" aini asked, facing her body towards her sister-in-law.

Hira frowned, she did not understand why suddenly her sister-in-law asked about the man. "Why are you suddenly talking about Ustaz Ali?"

"Let's just answer, this is very important."

Hira seemed to think for a moment, considering how the character of the man who is also a teacher in one of the cottages where he used to live. "It could be said for quite a long time, it's just that Big Brother doesn't really know about him. What's wrong? Do you guys have a problem with him? Or you're fighting because you took him!"

"No!" sahut Aini quickly, then glanced cynically at his brother. "If I don't have a problem with him, brother. That's Aina, she asked papa to come back with Ustaz Ali."

Hira nodded, but what was not understood, what was the connection with Aina's taaruf with Ustadz Ali and also their silence from earlier.

"Then what's the problem if Aina and Ustaz Ali are taaruf?"

"The problem is that we all do not know the same Ustad Ali and also Papa does not agree that Aina taaruf with Ustaz Ali, but Aina insisted. Even he had so much heart to hurt papa," said Aini cynically.

"You said that, anyway! I didn't hurt Papa at all. Even papa also agreed that I had an argument with Ustaz Ali," said Aina, she tried to defend herself.

"Yes, it's because you forced. Didn't you just see Papa's face and Mama looks very disappointed with you. You don't think about their feelings at all, just your feelings. Just because of a man you don't know at all."

"Why indeed? Are you envious of me? Just tell me you don't want to be preceded."

"Who's the—"

"Stop stop stop! Why is this getting so angry here?" ask Hira in a slightly high tone.

Aina folded her hands on her chest and turned her face the other way, while Aini looked towards her twin sister with a sidis.

"Why don't you agree that Aina is involved with ustaz Ali? There must be a reason, right? It's impossible not to agree with that."

Aini lowered her head, recalling the time when her papa was so hurt by the princess' decision. "Papa disagrees knowing Ustaz Ali's family will not be able to accept Aina's existence, which is currently with an open appearance. Their families also prefer women who graduate from boarding schools. Do you also know the Ustaz Ali family, how are they?"

"I don't really know them, their families are very secretive people. Even rarely interact with others, but they are always diligent to come to events in boarding schools. If there is an event they always come on time, it's just that yesterday when there haul they did not come. I don't know what the reason is, but before every event they have people who have never been absent to attend."

"You heard, didn't you, Aini. They are good people, there must be something wrong with papa's men when giving a report" said Aina who did not want to be blamed continuously.

"You don't know papa! Any information you receive from his men, it's accurate. There's never anything wrong."

Now Hira feels guilty because it was he who proposed that Aina taaruf with Ustaz Ali. In fact, now the in-laws do not give their blessing. It's even been investigating about Ustaz Ali's exit. He who knows them for a long time knows nothing about them. How could his in-laws know so many things.

She'd better talk to her husband. Arslan knows better what to do. The strength of Papa Ayman also cannot be doubted, but what might the Ustaz Ali family be like that. He also did not know her very well, only met twice, it was only for a moment.

"It's been, it's been, now it's better not to talk about it anymore. Papa and Mama must have made up their minds too, right? You two should think about it well too. Do not let the decision taken with emotion, it will even make you regret," concluded Hira, making his sister-in-law no longer talk. Both confirmed what her brother said.

At night when Arslan had returned home, Hira told her husband about Hira and Ustaz Ali. The man was surprised by what he heard. Arslan did not expect that his sister would dare to oppose his father's wishes. Even though he was an older brother, all the decisions were made by his father. If Ayman agrees, what can he do.

"That's right, yes, Mas. If what you're saying is true about Ustaz Ali?" tanya Hira who had been very curious about her in-laws.

"Since childhood I have known papa and can be ascertained one hundred percent if what you know is true."

"Pity Aina, dong, Mas. If she gets married to Ustaz Ali."

"How else, Aina herself insisted on continuing this marriage. Papa can do anything if the bride-to-be just agrees. Let's just pray that everything's okay." Arslan smiled even though he was completely unwilling.

"How's Ustaz Ali?" kyai Hasan asked one of the teachers at his boarding school.

Ayman had contacted him and expressed that intention to his best friend. Kyai Hasan greeted him with open arms, he just called Ustaz Ali and said the wishes of the Ayman family. The man looked puzzled, nor did he expect that the family of the girl he met at the hospital would file for a date.

Ustaz Ali never thought of being with a woman who was so far away from his criteria. She really wanted to get married, but not a woman like Aina. The one the man wanted was like Ning Hira or Ustazah Nurul.

"May I think, Kyai. It's all too sudden, I can't think clearly either. I also need to ask my mother" replied Ustadz Ali carefully.

"It's better to be like that, think carefully because this is all also for your future."

"Thank you, Kyai."

Ustaz Ali and Kyai Hasan talked for a while, there was also Umi Rikha. He was happy if indeed his iron family could marry one of the teachers here as well. The woman was also quite familiar with Ustaz Ali, so far always being nice. He said he was also very polite. After enough talking, Ustaz Ali resigned. He still has to teach in a minute.

"Hopefully, Umi. Instead Abi is afraid if everything is not in accordance with what we have thought."

"What does Abi mean?" asked Umi Rikha by looking at her husband.

"So when Ayman called Abi, he sounded like he was not willing if his daughter married Ustaz Ali, as forced. I don't know what's underlying behaving like that, making Abi feel scared. Abi asked him, if this decision was really strong. They can still think about it, but Ayman says it's her daughter's decision and it can't be changed anymore."

"So if Umi can conclude, this marriage is because of the wishes of her own daughter so? Mr Ayman himself doesn't want it?"

"Abi also thinks it's like that. Abi knew that Ayman was a rich man, he could figure things out very briefly. Especially about the Ustaz Ali family, it was very easy for him to get. Just by spending a little money, then everything is in sight."

Umi Rikha felt guilty. However, Zayna's daughter knew Ustaz Ali also because she and her husband often invited her to visit. "Abi said, now what should we do?"

"You know what else, Umi. This is also their own desire, we are only intermediaries. In the future, let God determine their destiny. May the children of Pak Ayman and ustadz Ali really match the world of the hereafter."

"Amin, I hope so. Ustadz Ali was also a good person. He has also helped our family a lot. Umi already thought of him as her own child. That's why I was happy when Pak Ayman's son wanted to share with ustadz Ali, we all know how Pak Ayman's family, they are good people. they also have great respect for older people. Although they still open the aurat, but that doesn't mean they're not worshipers."

"Yes, Ayman is also not a person who likes to impose his will on the family. Especially to others."

"Yes, Umi is grateful Hira got in-laws like them. Bu Zayna had also never forced anything on Hira, even already thinking of her as a child herself.

Meanwhile, Ali who had just arrived home looked so moody. His mother who was at home also felt strange about his daughter's behavior.

"Rome from the cottage instead of happy, why does this even look sad?" tanya Bu Nur—ibu Ustaz Ali.

Ustaz Ali's house is close to the boarding house, sometimes the man stays at the cottage, sometimes also return home.

"Why are you, Ali? Why does it look so moody? Is there a problem?"

"Mom, if anyone asks me to ta'aruf what do you think of me?" ali asked without answering his son's question.

The question made Bu Nur sparkle, he was already waiting for this. The woman wanted to know who had stolen the heart of her son and which son Kyai would be her son-in-law later. However, when Ustaz Ali told about the girl, Bu Nur's face became grim. How could he possibly have such a daughter-in-law.

Especially when you know if it is a proposal from Kyai Hasan. He dared to refuse, as did Ustaz Ali. "What do you think of Mother?"

"Mother dare not refuse, all decisions are with you. Mother, just according to what you said," she replied lethargicly.

In Bu Nur's heart hoped Ali would refuse even though it felt very unlikely, considering that Kyai Hasan had been very good to them. Moreover, Ali also taught there, it feels reluctant to say no. Ali couldn't possibly refuse it.

One week later, Ali met Kyai Hasan. She said she was willing to marry Aina. Kyai Hasan was quite surprised because Ustaz Ali chose to marry her directly without any process of taaruf. The man respected Ustaz Ali's decision and told Ayman's family. It was up to them to refuse, he was only an intermediary.

Ayman tells Aina about the news she heard from Kyai Hasan. The girl agreed, she also had no problem getting married without the taaruf process. Ayman and his family agreed and said they would meet with Ustaz Ali's family at Kyai Hasan's house next Sunday.

"Are you still marahan with Aina?" zayna asked her daughter who was currently in the room.

"No, Ma. I'm not angry, "let's Aini without looking at her mother.

"Mom can tell if Mama's son is lying. Dengerin Mama first, the family has agreed that Aina will marry Ustaz Ali. This is the decision they have taken, you as a brother should be supportive. They're getting married soon and next week there'll be a family meeting."

"Married? Why get married immediately? Aren't they gonna ta'aruf first?" asked Aini who was so shocked by the news she had just heard.

"Mama's tough, too, but it's a decision the family took. This is all for the happiness of your brother. You should be sincere, just pray for Aina's marriage to run smoothly and well. Mama does not want your children to fight, especially until silence like this. Mama was sad to see it" said Zayna with teary eyes.

Lately the dining table also feels cold because of the quarrels of his children. Whereas before the twins were always compact in any case. Aini who saw the sadness of her mother also felt guilty because of her mother became sad.

Aini immediately hugged her mother. "Sorry Aini, Ma, because Aini Mama so sad, later let me talk to Aina and apologize to her. I will also support whatever is his decision. I will always pray that he is always happy."

Zayna smiled and returned the embrace of the princess, actually she was not willing, but for the happiness of her daughter she had to try to be sincere. The woman could only surrender to God somehow the future of her daughter.

At night Aini came to her brother's room without knocking on the door. Seen Aina was playing a cell phone, she just glanced at the arrival of her twin sister without any intention of reprimanding.

"Hello, bride! Just shut up!" Aini Goda. However, Aina was just silent.

Aini approached her brother and sat down beside him. "I'm sorry, yeah! I've been selfish with just thinking about my own feelings, without knowing how you feel. Forgive me for not being able to understand your feelings," Aini said with teary eyes.

Aina who heard it also felt guilty. He was also wrong for being too selfish. However, his feelings cannot be lied to. He was in love with Ustaz Ali.

"Why are you sorry? You're not wrong because I'm wrong here. I'm too stubborn. Thank you for understanding my situation." Aina clasped her brother's palm. He was happy that he was finally able to talk back to his brother.

"I pray that your marriage goes well. Don't forget my cute niece, even funnier than Icha."

Aina simply smiled in response, she was happy to see her brother back the way he used to be. The two twin brothers hugged each other. There is a lot they talk about going forward. Aina promised that she would tell you often, even every hour if she could.

Ayman told his two children that they were going to Kyai Hasan's house on Sunday. Not forgetting to also tell Arslan and his wife so they can also come along. Surely Kyai Hasan and Umi Rikha also miss his granddaughter a lot.
