Right at midday, the car driven by Rangga and Reyhan finally arrived at the boarding school in the countryside owned by Nazwa's father, who was in the village, previously they had stopped to buy various kinds of fruit hands in the form of cakes and fruits, even they had stopped for lunch at the place where Anton and Zahwa had stopped, he said, for the pet given by Nazwa.
After parking their car, Nazwa immediately got out of the car, followed by others who stepped into the residence of Nazwa's parents who were around the psantren cottage.
Nazwa walked half-runningly, when he saw his parents who were seen in front of the house to welcome the arrival of Nazwa and the others.
"Assalam mualaikum, abi, umi" said Nazwa then immediately approached his parents, Nazwa kissed abi and uminya's hands, and immediately embraced uminya so tightly.
"Greetings" answered his parents. The longing that had been deep in the hearts of the child and his master was finally cured, after his departure along with Zahwa and Anton, Nazwa had never returned to his hometown.
"Assalam mualaikum" said Reyhan's parents, who were also followed by Rangga and Reyhan.
"Waalaikum salam." replied the two Nazwa parents.
They shook hands with each other and introduced themselves, and after that the two Nazwa parents invited them to enter their residence.
Arriving home, Abi Nazwa invited Rangga and others to sit on a stretch of carpet that they had prepared to welcome the arrival of Rangga and his family.
"Let's sit down, sorry, this is how Nazwa's house is, it's very simple" Abinya said.
"It's okay, thank you Ustad." said papa Reyhan with a smile.
"It's a bit by the by." said aunt Rita who was seen handing over their hands to Nazwa's mother with a smile.
"Thank you, there's no need to bother with this." umi Nazwa replied with a smile.
"No, it's nothing." replied Aunt Rita again.
And not so long ago, the mother of Zahwa came out with some female students while bringing drinks and snacks for them.
"Well here?" nazwa asked in surprise, then greeted Zahwa's parents.
"Umi asked you to come here, to help umi." replied umi.
"Zahwa sends his regards to wak" Nazwa said, conveying a message from his cousin's sister.
"Greetings" replied Zahwa's mother.
"Where are they?" ask wakma.
"Thank God, everything is good" replied Nazwa.
"Thank God, thank God" replied Zahwa's mother with a smile.
After finishing preparing a snack, Zahwa's mother went back in, and not long after she came out again with her husband, Zahwa's father, who had just finished praying. Both Nazwa parents also invited them to taste the dishes served.
Because everything seemed to have gathered, and also ready to listen to the purpose and purpose of their arrival, finally Papa Reyhan who became the representative in exchange for Rangga's parents, too, begin to open their voice to convey their intentions and goals.
"Before we apologize, if our arrival interferes and inconveniences ustad." said papa Reyhan.
"No, we don't feel bothered, we're happy to get a visit from all of you" Abi Nazwa replied with a smile.
"The purpose of our arrival here was to get to know the Nazwa family more closely" said father Reyhan, and both Nazwa parents were seen nodding, responding to their good intentions.
Then after that, father Reyhan also introduced himself and his wife who had status as an uncle and aunt of Rangga, and a little story about Rangga's parents who had died.
After a little story, Papa Reyhan also tried to give a signal to Rangga, by nodding his head while staring at Rangga, and then he was, asking Rangga to speak for himself and convey his intentions and desires directly to the two Nazwa parents.
"Sorry before ustad, I came here with my two uncles and aunts, none other than to ask permission and blessing to ustad, because I intend to propose Nazwa to be my wife." rangga said firmly and full of seriousness.
Sontak Nazwa was surprised, at once he raised his face and looked at Rangga with great novelty, he did not expect that Rangga would immediately propose to him, he said, because to Nazwa's knowledge their purpose was only to get in touch with each other first.
After listening to the phrase from Rangga, Abi Nazwa immediately spoke up to give an answer, because he did not want to make Rangga feel disappointed.
"Is son Rangga ready to accept the lack of my child's birth and inner?" ask abi Nazwa.
"My God is ready to be born and the mind receives the lack or whatever it is from the daughter of ustad" replied Rangga again firmly. And Nazwa's father smiled while disturbing slowly hearing Rangga's answer and seriousness, he felt that Rangga was really sincere with his intention.
"Nazwa! What about you son, are you ready to accept the shortcomings of son Rangga." asked his brother to Nazwa.
Nazwa bowed his face in shame when asked by his ashes, but Nazwa still gave an answer that made Rangga feel happy.
"God willing, God willing, Nazwa is also ready to receive the birth and inner mas Rangga" replied Nazwa. Her brother again listened to his daughter's answer.
"Then there is no problem anymore, I as a parent will give my blessing to anyone who comes to propose to my child, if the man is also wanted by my daughter, he said, it's just that I want to give a message to you son Rangga." said abi Rangga still hanging, his eyes were staring at the face of Rangga who also looked serious about the words of his future father-in-law.
"Marry my daughter as wife as well as a trust that you will be in charge of. With him and with him you worship Allah. Guide your wife to her paradise, so that the blessings of your household." said her brother to Rangga, this time Rangga who seemed to nod understanding with what was said by abi Nazwa. And Reyhan also looks enthusiastic listening to the nasegat said by Nazwa's parents.
"God willing, I understand ustad, and I will remember, and also carry out what you said." replied Rangga.
"Alhamdulillah." replied his ashes with a nod.
After getting the blessing of the two Nazwa parents, Rangga was seen taking out a small red heart-shaped box from his pants pocket. Then he asked Aunt Rita to pin the ring to Nazwa's ring finger, because Rangga could not touch Nazwa who had not become his mahrom.
Seeing the small but very valuable object, Nazwa again felt surprised, because again he did not know when Rangga bought the ring. After Rita's aunt dressed in a ring, Rangga was seen again reading to both Nazwa's parents as well as his uncle and aunt, he expressed his desire to marry Nazwa one month later.
They all agreed with Rangga's intention, so as not to cause sin and slander, what else Rangga and Nazwa worked in the same place. Good intentions should be implemented immediately.😊
