YOUR EYES GAVE ME A SOUL MATE

19. Accepts

Grace's car parked in front of Najwa's house. Sumirah and Suratmo welcomed their arrival in a cordial manner. They then talked about many things, while waiting for Najwa who was backward to make a few cups of tea.

Not long after, Najwa came out with tea on a rectangular tray. This time Najwa wore a floral pattern, with a plain canal hijab.

"Come monggo. Taste the tea and cake" Suratmo said kindly.

Meanwhile Najwa sat next to Intan leaning on the woman's shoulder.

"It was not possible to get into the tea and the cake before hearing Najwa's reply" said Rahmat, laughing.

"So how's ndok? haven't you changed your mind about the wedding?" connect Grace.

Najwa, who had been sitting upright, looked at the elders one by one.

"You remember papa's words. No one can force you if you don't want to. Moreover, you until you feel unwell with papa and mama," said Rahmat.

"Yes Nak. My mom wants to talk too. Ega's mumpung isn't here. Honestly, I really hope you will be my daughter-in-law again. Ega is not like Affan who is soft and friendly. Ega even tends to reverse it. But with you being his wife, mama hopes he can change a lot better. Mama didn't mean to plunge you or intentionally doctrine you. All decisions are in your hands later,"

"Before Nana answered, if Nana accepts this marriage, can Nana apply for the condition? this condition Nana wants you to know, Nana does not want sister Ega to know,"

"certain. What do you want ndok?" ask Grace.

"If when you are married to sister Ega, but on the way across the ark of the household Nana is unable and give up, do you not mind if Nana bid farewell? as you know, the temperament of sister Ega is not so good. Nana was just afraid of not being able to be patient."

"We understand. And we accept those conditions. You don't have to worry, we're on your side" said Rahmat.

"Then Nana accepts this marriage." Answer Najwa.

"Alhamdulillah" everyone gave thanks.

"Ah.mama is very happy," Intan said while hugging Najwa.

"Then we can directly plan the concept of their wedding. So how? what kind of clothes will I wear here?" ask Grace.

"As I said at that time sir, we just want to do the ijab qobul event." Answer Suratmo.

"Yes already then, let there be no inequality, then next to us also will not hold any event," said Rahmat.

"Wouldn't that be a problem sir? however, this is the first experience for Ega's son," said Suratmo.

"God willing not. The important thing is that our children are legally married in front of religion. No need to care about the opinions of others who make slanted comments about our children "Respond Grace.

"All right then. We think how good it is," Suratmo said.

"Ndock. Please bring a calendar here. We will immediately determine the wedding date for next month" said Rahmat.

Najwa got up from his seat, and went into his room to pick up the calendar at his desk. After that he came out and handed it to Grace.

Grace turned the calendar they were about to cross over one more month, for the wedding time of their children.

"Well..how about the 26th of the 4th month? it's Sunday, time off from work and teaching." asked Grace

"No sir." Najwa answered briefly

"Yes already. Means it has been decided on that date you are married." said Rahmat

"Yes pa." Answer Najwa.

"Then what dowry did you ask ndok?" ask Grace.

"Just like a prayer tool pa." Answer Najwa.

"Alright if that's what you want," said Grace.

The parents then talked about many things. Najwa only listened to the conversation, and occasionally smiled.

"Lord.I beg you to take this decision. My initial intentions are good, don't give me trials beyond my ability. I want to make these parents happy, I don't want to take this beautiful smile off their lips" Najwa said.

After a long conversation, Rahmat and Intan also say goodbye home.

"Have you gone home from work?" ask Intan across the phone.

"Ma already. It's been an hour ago." Answer Ega who glanced at the wall clock, and the time has shown at 5 pm.

"So we went to Najwa's house" said Intan who was in the kitchen and busy making spices with one hand.

"What is his decision then? is he backing out?" hope Ega.

"Of course not. You think Najwa is the kind of person who doesn't like to keep promises? do you not-don't you really hope? Najwa backed out of that will?" ask Intan.

"Eh? n-no really." replied Ega stammered.

"Goodoo. That means you're ready to marry him. April 26th is your wedding day. So the 25th you have to be here" Intan said

"Yes." Yeah." Answer Ega listlessly.

"Yes, you rest. Mama wants to cook for dinner first," said Intan.

"Emm."

Ega ended the conversation that was not at all warm. Now he was confused to explain to the idol, because already a week ago he expressed this problem to Melody, and of course the girl who was in college in Autralie could not accept. Even Ega and Melody hoped Najwa changed her mind and rejected the will.

"I have to how is this? Melody must be very disappointed in me. We've been dating for a long time, all my type is on him. She should have been my ideal partner, not my sister's ex-girlfriend" murmured Ega.

"Melody must be very angry, knowing that I will marry Najwa next month. I can't hide my marriage from him either. Three more months he'll graduate and return to his homeland, he must be sad when he finds out I've married another woman. So how should I be?"

Ega ruffled his own hair in annoyance. He decides to explain to Melody after the girl returns from Australie. She was so afraid that if she told her now, Melody would be impulsive and mess up her wedding plans.

Meanwhile, in a different place. Najwa is confiding with his best friend Butet. Butet was very happy, because Najwa had made a wise decision for the future of his best friend.

But one thing that everyone does not know, Every night Najwa still weeps over Affan's departure at his evening prayer. Because it is not easy for him to forget someone who has always been there for 9 years, and will be replaced with someone who has just entered his life.
