When Mafia Fall In Love



Stop by the author's new work...


Here's the story of Rendra, Alea's sister..



Waiting for a proposal, certainly makes the heart beat unbecoming. Moreover, proposed someone who only a few times he met and the result of a parent matchmaking.


A girl who was sitting on the edge of her bed was already looking very beautiful by wearing a white syar'i clothing suit. He looked at himself in the mirror. He is 25 years old, but he does not know the name love. What is love like? What was his admiration for Ustaz Ilham who would propose to him today.


"Zahra.." call Umi Laila.


Zahra was the first daughter of Abah Husein and Umi Laila, the owners of the Al-Jannah boarding school. She's a very obedient princess. All the orders of his parents he always carried out as long as he could.


Umi Laila walked over and grabbed Zahra's shoulder. "Princess Umi is beautiful. Don't strain gini. Smile dong."


Zahra finally smiled even though her chest was still beating.


"Come on, Ustaz Ilham's family has arrived."


Zahra nodded then she stood up and walked along with Uminya. While his left hand is now joined by Zahra's younger brother named Syifa. Syifa who was two years younger than him was very different from him. Syifa is very jovial, sociable, even she is the best graduate of the da'wah faculty. Many young men admired and wanted to propose Syifa, but Abah Husein always refused because Abah Husein wanted to marry Zahra first.


Umi Laila and her two daughters are now sitting in a row in front of the Ustaz Ilham family.


Zahra just lowered her gaze. The man in front of him was truly a perfect figure. In addition to a handsome face that became an attraction, he was a good ustaz and the owner of an orphanage foundation. It was only fitting that Zahra admired him so much.


After the parents of Ustaz Ilham spoke with Zahra's parents, it was time for Ustaz Ilham to convey his proposal. "I will ask Abah Husein's daughter Syifa."


All who were in the living room were shocked and unexpected when Ustaz Ilham actually called the name Syifa.


"Sorry son of Ilham, I will marry my first daughter Zahra. I had previously talked about this matchmaking with my parents" Abah Husein said.


Ustaz Ilham whispered with his parents.


Zahra just lowered her head. It wasn't the first time like this, but it felt like he was very disappointed with himself. He seemed to be a hindrance to his sister's happiness. He did not mind if Ustaz Ilham married his sister.


"I'm sorry, I've dropped my choice on Syifa." Such was the decision of Ustaz Ilham.


A moment of silence. Neither Zahra nor Syifa dared to make their own decisions as long as the Abah had not decided.


"I'm sorry, son of Ilham, I will still marry Zahra first and then her sister."


Although disappointed but Ustaz Ilham could understand this decision. He still made his choice and chose to retreat for now.


Ustaz ilham nodded his head. He repeated his apologies before they decided to go home and the match was annulled.


Zahra was silent. He felt insecure about himself. What's he supposed to do?


"Zahra, you don't be sad boy. There must be a good man out there who will be your soul mate" said Umi Laila


Hearing that, Syifa immediately grabbed her brother's shoulder. "Sister Zahra just relax. I still haven't thought about the soul mate problem."


Abah Husein smiled and rubbed the top of Zahra's head. "Son, when the time comes you will definitely meet your soul mate. Abi loves you both very much."


Zahra and Syifa hugged his ashes for a moment. After that, the two of them walked into the room.


Zahra was able to catch another expression on Syifa's face, she was now following Syifa into her room. "Syifa, you want to talk for a second."


"Speak what brother?" syifa asked while sitting on the edge of her bed.


"Do you love Ustaz Ilham?" ask Zahra. He also sat next to Syifa.


Syifa. She could not lie to her feelings that she had actually fallen in love with Ustaz Ilham but what if her brother also loved her. He did not want to add to his brother's heart injury after the proposal was void.


Syifa shook her head slowly. "Sister, I know Ustaz Ilham is a near-perfect man. Every woman should admire him. Syifa wants Zahra's sister to get a proper companion to life like Ustaz Ilham."


"Syifa, don't lie to your sister."


Syifa shook her head. "I must be happy to see Brother Zahra happy."


"Yes, I want to go to the room first, I want to get ready to pray Maghrib to the mosque" said Zahra. Then he came out of Syifa's room and went into her room. He is now sitting in front of the mirror. He can capture Syifa's true heart. She knew, surely Syifa also loved Ustaz Ilham.


They should both be together. Syifa doesn't have to give up for me.


Zahra took a long breath. "Alright, looks like I have to find my own soul mate."


After that she rushed to the bathroom to clean herself up. After changing clothes, he took his face and came out of the room.


Every day he always prayed together in the mosque owned by his family boarding school. He always walked when heading to the mosque because the distance to the house was not too far.


As he walked in an alley, he stopped his steps from hearing the sound of footsteps. The move accelerated and a young man wearing his levis jacket was running towards him. Suddenly he hid behind Zahra's body.


"Help me." he said.


Zahra only fell silent while looking at the two people who were running fast and coming towards her.
