"We said goodbye to Ma, Pa. Please leave Aliya while we are away" said Aulia as she left her daughter to her two-in-law.


The couple is currently at the airport to perform their Umrah services to the holy land of Mecca.


With in between by both Fatih's parents and also his little Aliya of course. Finally, the moment awaited by Fatih came as well.


Where he can go to the holy land together with his beloved wife. The woman who has been in love for 12 years and never replaced with any woman even though Fatih was married to Sarah.


"Go quietly, do your worship solemnly there. Aliya niar is our business, we will take care of her and take good care of her," replied Mama Dini as she hugged her first grandchild.


"Alright, thank you Ma, Pa. Then we go in first. Aliya is good both with Oma and Opa yes, baby,"


"Yes Mother, Father. You guys go, I'll be fine with Oma and Opa. Don't forget to bring by the suek candidate for Aliya,"


"Dear, God willing. May Allah soon give his deposit here," replied Fatih while gently rubbing Aulia's flat stomach.


After saying goodbye, the couple finally went inside to wait for the departure of the plane that would take them to the holy land, Mecca.


To carry out their first Umrah worship after officially becoming husband and wife and hope that this worship will bring blessing to the new family they will just build.


After Aulia and Fatih entered, Mama Dini and Papa Dimas also brought home his beloved grandson to continue their usual daily activities together during holidays like today.

While elsewhere.


Gita stared at the figure of a man who had been since half an hour ago standing in front of his rented house.


Waiting for Gita to be ready, to return to her hometown in order to fulfill the promise to her parents.


Actually, it's been since 30 minutes ago that Gita is done and ready to go. However, when Seno came to deliver her to the station.


Gita suddenly felt hesitant to continue her journey home. However, Gita is also unlikely to ignore her promise to her parents.


With a heavy step, Gita finally decided to get out of her rented house and approached Seno who was waiting beside her car.


"Sorry, long time?" asked Gita when she was in front of Seno.


"No, is it ready?" replied Seno immediately established his establishment from the one that had stood by leaning against the car door.


"Yes" replied Gita.


"Well, let's go now, then,"


"Yes, I'm sorry to bother you,"


"It's okay, it's all you want,"


Seno opens the car door for Gita. The hijab girl entered with mixed feelings.


His heart was clearly already attached to the man who was currently sitting in front of the steering wheel beside him. However, Gita also cannot ignore her promises to her parents.


Along the way to the station, the two men seemed to choose silence. Drowning in each other's minds. Gita with her heart.


Likewise with Seno, who is preparing to be heartbroken if only Gita received an arranged marriage from both parents.


"Be careful on the road, if you have to tell Mas let Mas not worry anymore," seno said after the two were at the door of the train ready to take Gita home to her parents.


"Yes, Mas is also the heart of the road" replied Gita wistfully.


It's just that, Gita also can't ignore the promise she has made with both parents.


"Don't cry, I can't hold you yet" said Seno stroking the soft top of Gita's head covered in hijab.


The clear liquid finally escapes from Gita's beautiful eyes when she realizes that love is already present for Seno just as they are about to part.


"Mas" said Gita in between her sobs.


"Yes, I know. Go home, may God bring us together again with a different destiny," replied Seno who tried hard in front of his heart.


Gita can only nod her head. It was too hard to get his voice out. Even if it's just to say 'yes'.


Not wanting to get sicker and hurt, Gita immediately ran into the train that was going to leave in a few minutes.


The hand-welding from Seno became the cover of their current meeting. Both of them stared at each other in silence, harboring their pain when the soul mate was not on their side.

3 Days Later.


"Cock pout that hell, son? Don't like to go with Mama Papa? Though this is a rare moment," said the middle-aged woman who was so enthusiastic about traveling with her youngest son.


"Seno doesn't like to go with Mama and Papa, but our intention is to go which Seno doesn't like" the young man replied in a sharp tone.


"Give up, what's important now is that you're coming. That's enough for Mama" replied the mother who ignored her son's grim face.


While in another place, more precisely in a simple house belonging to both Gita's parents. It looks like the beautiful girl is standing in front of the mirror and staring at herself who is wrapped in brocade kebaya which is combined with batik cloth as her subordinates.


Repeatedly Gita let out a long sigh when she remembered that today, she would meet the chosen husband of her parents.

"May I come in?" tanya Bu Mina who is none other than the mother of Gita.


"Come on, what's wrong?" tanya Gita tries to act ordinary even though her heart is not okay.


"Are you ready? Her husband and family are ahead,"

Gita's heart skipped a beat when she heard that the chosen husband of her parents was in her home.


Despite feeling tightness in the chest, Gita tried to smile and nod her head in response to a question from her mother.


The mother and son went out together so much hand in hand. Gita squeezes Mina's hands because she is nervous and scared.


"Here she is, my man-to-be and your future wife No, how beautiful is her son?" mama Erina said as Gita and Mina went out to meet their special guest today.

The two people who were new to the meeting were equally shocked when they met each other.
