When Destiny Says Another

Chapter 42 The Proposal Event

Until waiting for Saturday to arrive, almost every day Rina diligently perform Istikharah Prayer, which is a sunnah prayer that is highly recommended when someone experiences a situation where he is faced with two heavy choices to be determined. Istikharah prayer aims to ask God for guidance to be given the right choice without any doubt.

Rina in her prayer begged that if Aimar is indeed the soul mate that God chooses, then bring closer, if it turns out Aimar is not the soul mate of Rina, then keep away. Rina performs Istikharah prayers at the best time to perform Istikharah prayers at night or at least after doing Isya prayers, until before entering the Fajr prayer time.

Finally the long-awaited day arrived. This morning around 9, the Great Family of Aimar Wicaksana will come to see the Prasetyo Family to officially propose to Rina Pradiskia who is the first daughter of Papa Pras and Mama Dinda. This application is the process by which a person formally submits a marriage application to his or her spouse. This is an important step in a romantic relationship where a person expresses his or her intention to form a marriage bond with their partner.

Don't be asked how Rina feels, happy to mix pounding is not because it finally met the happy end. Even from last night Rina could not sleep, so Riska was forced to sleep in Ka Rina's room to calm the feeling of Ka Rina facing her application event.

Mama Dinda from a few days before was already preoccupied for the application event. Mama Dinda has ordered Roses, Lily flowers and night flowers to decorate every corner of the room.

Mama Dinda has also ordered all day long Catering Bu Lastri, a caterer owned by her friend Mama Dinda, for dishes during the application event. And Mama Dinda has also ordered a variety of wet cakes to Ummi Farah, namely Umminya Zia.

From last night the house was crowded and preoccupied with preparing for the application event the next day. Florists have come in the morning, to put flowers in certain corners of the house to make it look beautiful and fragrant.

Catering Bu Lastri has also arrived from the morning, because it must prepare a table for the dish and serve the cuisine to look neat and attractive. Mama Dinda ordered White Rice, grilled chicken, sweet-sour fillet fish, fried capcay, mustofa potatoes, pieces of watermelon, and melon and crackers to enjoy.

For the business of wet cakes, Mama Dinda entrusted to Ummi Farah, namely Umminya Zia. Ummi Farah and Zia who were also present there to bring orders of wet cakes and arrange them on the dishes that have been provided. Mama Dinda ordered chicken lempers, mud cakes, soes cakes, vegetable pastels, and chicken ragoet risol.

The great family of Aimar. Aimar who came with Om who was the younger brother of his late father and his wife, Aimar's mother, Grandpa and Grandmother of Aimar's mother, Grandmother of his late father Aimar, and kaka-kaka of Aimar's mother. All appear to be dressed in batik while carrying delivery in the form of clothes, cosmetics, prayer equipment, and cakes, because Rina also does not demand a luxurious delivery.

In the Prasetyo Family all compact wearing gray, because this gray color is Rina's favorite color. Mama Dinda, Rina, Rini and Riska even Ummi Farah and Zia compact wearing the gray-colored Gamis that Mama Dinda has prepared. Papa Pras wore a gray batik.

The color grey is a neutral color between black and white which consists of a mixture of different levels of brightness black and white. People who love gray are fair people. They avoid partisanship as much as possible, and this makes them always judge the situation logically without being carried away by emotions. This is what makes them known for their critical judgments and always put forward reasonable logic. Somehow this is in accordance with the character of Rina who also likes gray.

In fact, one of the meanings of gray in psychology is to show seriousness. In addition to having meaning as seriousness, gray also has many positive meanings, such as containing the philosophy of tenderness, respect, and neutral behavior.

At first Om Aimar, Om Danu and Aimar's mother, Mother Ghea, hesitated to comply with Aimar's request to propose to Rina. Given their different social and economic classes their families. But then Aimar managed to believe Om and his mother, that the Prasetyo Family is not a family that distinguishes social and economic classes.

Social class or Social group has a relatively more widely used meaning to indicate the social layer based on economic criteria. Thus, the definition of Social Class or Social Group is a group of people who occupy the social layer based on economic criteria.

The Aimar family was amazed by the spacious and luxurious house of the Prasetyo Family. Perhaps this was the first time they could come to such a luxurious mansion like this. The same yard area as the football field in his village Aimar.

"Waahhh his house is like a palace, grandma also wants if in love with a house like this" said Grandma Aimar named Grandma Elis.

"Who would love Mah... Waiting to win the lottery first can only love this big house" replied Om Danu, who is Om Aimar.

"It's been... It's been.. Don't argue badly, in front there is already Papa and his Mama Rina, may we samperin" said Aimar.

Not to mention that they were also surprised by the welcoming reception of Papa Pras and Mama Dinda. The appearance of Papa Pras and Mama Dinda is so simple but unpretentious.

Mama Dinda did not see even a row of gold bracelets or gold rings such as a gold shop walk or a ring with a stone like a pebble, except the wedding ring only on the ring finger of his hand. Even Mama Dinda's hands are covered by using hand shock, which is a glove that has the function of closing the hand and usually only leaves the finger. These fabric accessories are usually used for Muslim women who want totality in closing the aurat.

Papa Pras invited the Aimar family to enter. Then before the event began Papa Pras had a short chat with his extended family Aimar. Then the show began. From the Prasetyo Family there is Aunt Devina and her husband is Om Agung her sister Mama Dinda and Om Vishnu and Aunt Sekar who is the younger brother of Papa Pras. From the House of Prasetyo represented by Om Agung who became the family spokesman. The application event began, Om Danu said the intention of their big family arrival here was to propose to Rina to be Aimar's life companion.

Then Rina was presented by flanked by her two sisters, Rini and Riska. When they were present before the Great Family of Aimar, not only was Aimar captivated by Rina, but all of the Great Family of Aimar were mesmerized by the charm of Rina and her Two Sisters. Although they use a wide robe and hijab still look beautiful, charming and graceful. Rina was only dressed by Aunt Devina at Rina's request, namely with natural makeup.

This natural makeup is a form of makeup that makes the face look beautiful and fresh like not using makeup. Actually without using any makeup Rina was beautiful, especially this is dressed more and more visible pangling to the point that Aimar did not want to take his eyes off.

"The look on his eyes will be dislodged" said Om Danu whispered to Aimar, because from that moment he noticed his nephew looked on his future wife.

"Astaghfirullah's... Om, don't mind if it becomes a marriage" replied Aimar.

During Rina's application event, Riska observes with detail every process, even she had to dissolve with daydreams and delusions, she fantasizes later her application event with Reza is exactly the same as her application event Rina. Zia who was sitting next to Riska saw her best friend smiling to herself.

"Hayoooo's.... It must be a dream again" whispered Zia.

"Ehh Zi's... Hehe... A little bit of interest later my application event also wants to be like this" replied Riska.

"Cieee... Cie... Who is the same" said Zia.

"Tau ahhhh... " Answer Riska.

"hiwiii.... " Zia chuckles to see Riska misbehaving because she was caught daydreaming.

After the application event was completed, continued with friendly hospitality of both families, while. Enjoy the dishes that have been served. Aimar who was impatient to talk to Rina directly approached Rina who was currently sitting together with Rini.

"MashaAllah..... Ka Aimar to pangling see Rina dandan" said Aimar.

"Why Ka, menor huh? " Tanya Rina's.

"Nga Ko, it's beautiful original in the dance yes more beautiful dong"

"So I can't wait to question you, so that Kaka can look at your face every day"

Aimar answered and managed to make Rina's heart soar into the air.

"Take care of your heart always for Kaka ya Rin" Aimar said.

"God willing" answered Rina.

"This Deuhhhh from earlier was patient yes pingin deketin candidate" said Om Danu.

"Om disrupt it... " Say Aimar.

"Inadvertently... Hehehe" replied Om Danu.

Lina just smiled looking at the chatter of Om and his nephew. In the other corner, Mama Dinda was chatting with Ghe's mother and Grandpa Grandma Aimar. They all look familiar not look at all stiffness even that looks as if they have often met. This is because Mama Dinda is humble and friendly. In slang, giving advice to people to be humble is usually called a stay humble which means staying humble. While friendly, often used to dub someone who is very easy to blend and make friends with anyone.

The day was getting late, finally the Aimar Family group said goodbye to go home. Today is a happy day for both sides. Later that night Aimar had to fly again to America, because he was only allowed to go to college and work for a week. For the affairs of the groom's clothes he handed over to his mother, because his mother had memorized the size of Aimar's clothes and pants. Understandably so far the shirt and pants that Aimar wear is the result of stitching his own mother because to save expenses. Aimar promises that Rina will return to Indonesia before the wedding day.

The real soul mate is not an option, but rather a destiny that has been recorded clearly and firmly in Lauhul Mahfudz.

Feelings of like, admiration and love for someone is a gift from God implanted in our hearts. However, man is given the capacity or freedom by Him to choose and do whatever it is. And there must be a recompense for every action chosen.

God created love so that we love each other, not to hurt each other, so when together no one gets hurt. In life we are required to love each other, whether with parents, friends, fellow, especially with a partner.
