The sound of knocking on the door and greeting from someone awakened Ica from her daydream.
It was the sound of Dian, surely he came because he would take her to breakfast as usual. Ica let him into her room.
"Come in."
It turned out that his premonition was right, even Dian could enter by bringing a tray containing a plate of fried rice and a glass of water for him.
"Why bother bother anyway mbak. Syadzi will be able to eat by himself if he wants to eat."
"From that time I called non Syadzi for breakfast, but his non Syadzi did not come out. Maybe no more breaks so I'll just take breakfast to the room."
"Sorry yes, ma'am. Syadzi wasn't heard."
"Yes, papa non."
"Yes, this is in the first meal" said mbak Dian with a smile.
The girl also replied to him with her smile.
"Mbak Dian has breakfast?"
"Not yet."
"We ate together, mbak."
"Eh... Ndak need non, non Syadzi eat first. You can eat your own food in the kitchen."
"Mbak Dian do not hesitate to say yes here, consider this my own home. If there is no desire what to say to Syadzi."
"Injih non." replied Dian while lowering her head a little.
"Already, eaten first the rice is not going to be cold no longer tasty."
Ica nodded with her smile.
With slowly Ica began to enjoy the special fried rice that has been cooked mbak Dian for her.
"Syadzi wants to tell Dian the same story. Can't you?"
Dian then smiled looking at her face.
"Yes, no, not what story?"
"But Dian must give good advice to Syadzi."
"As long as you can still help, you can definitely help non."
Ica then stopped eating and put the plate back on the tray.
"Well, why not spend the non-nation?"
"Sorry, Syadzi is full."
"Yasudah ndak papa. If you are full, you cannot force it."
Ica smiled back to look at Dian who was in front of her.
"So what does Syadzi want to tell?"
"Mbak Dian never applied to someone?"
Ma'am Dian was stunned to hear her question, for a moment she fell silent and lowered her face.
"Earlier. Why not?"
"Mbak Dian does not know the same person who proposed to mbak Dian?"
"Know non."
"Why is non-Syadzi asking this question? Is non Syadzi being proposed by someone?"
Ica momentarily lowered her face.
"Do you know what kind of man would propose to non Syadzi?"
"Papa said, he was a good, obedient young man, Sholeh, simple and responsible. He is a young lecturer who teaches at IAIN campus, he is 26 years old, he is also a graduate from abroad."
"What does not know his people."
Ica shook her head as she moved her lower lip, just like a child.
"Good man will never ruin his woman. What he did was a good thing non, he dared to come directly to meet non Syadzi's parents without the knowledge of his daughter."
"According to mbak, it is not good to refuse the male Sholeh who came to propose to us. If we refuse, then God will bring the opposite."
Syadzi was still thinking about what Dian said just now. If we reject the proposal of the male Sholeh, then God will bring us the opposite male.
If that is true, then there is no reply for Syadzi to reject the proposal.
"That's a bad risk."
"God knows better what the heart of his servant is non."
"Non Syadzi is a beautiful woman, well, Sholeha, pinter, philanthropist again. It is fitting that God bring such a man to non-Syadzi."
"Syadzi is still afraid, Syadzi is traumatized by love affairs. Syadzi's heart still hasn't reopened after two losses."
"Non Syadzi still has time to think, non Syadzi certainly asked for time to determine the answer."
Ica nodded her head again.
"Sholat isikharah non, ask for the same determination of God. If it is time for the Starch of God will open the hearts of non-Syadzi without being overwhelmed by fear again."
Ica then smiled sweetly looking at the face of mbak Dian who was like her own biological sister.
"Not sure he had never known the young man. Or maybe never knew him but did not forget. Surely the young man had already known non Syadzi without his own noticing."
Ica thought back to Zain, a young man she once craved, harboring a silent feeling of silence on her.
For months Ica no longer heard from him, until he thought that the young man must have been dating another woman of his choice. Or the woman he had known while living a few years in Cordoba.
Which other man had ever been close to her. Could it be Arly?
But if you look at his characteristics, as opposed to the reality he had seen on Arly before.
The curiosity still gripped his heart to this day.
"If Syadzi can know, who is the man who has proposed to Dian. And why didn't Dian accept her proposal?"
Ma'am Dian smiled sadly at Ica's question just now, like there was a wound that had not been lost in her past.
"Just like non-Syadzi, he is a very good man. Mbak himself who saw his kindness, not even the slightest bit he dared to look at the face when facing each other."
"It is not mbak who refused it non, but the family mbak who refused raw his proposal. He was a simple man with his financial life, as opposed to his previous mbak life which was always quite even more with all the material."
"He came directly to his parents to propose to be his wife with everything he had, but it was still not enough according to them. It was a very sad life mbak, until mbak decided to leave the house and leave all the facilities that have been given by both parents mbak."
It was a pity that the young man, he must have left with such a deep wound, until he disappeared from Dian's mother's life and never again met her.
Can be imagined if until Ica did the same thing as what was done by parents mbak Dian, whether she could hurt the hearts of others who had good intentions to her.
"Mbak wishes that non doesn't feel the same way as mbak, non."
Ica was still in her place while staring at the face of Dian who had been watered by tears.
"Mafin Syadzi ya mbak, has reminded back of the sadness mbak Dian because of losing a man who is so good in life mbak Dian."
"It's okay non, at least non can take a good effort from what Dian already experienced."
Said Dian while wiping her tears. Ica emotionally embraced Dian and calmed her in his arms.
