Cinta Ilham & Zahra
MCIDZS. 16 Taaruf

"Actually, Abi told you to go home because there was a young man who wanted to take you taaruf," said Abi Hasan and Zahra was silent after listening to that.

"Who is he, Bi? ask Zahra while bowing.

"Yafiq, he's a young man who wants to take you along" replied Abi Hasan.

Zahra, quiet. Indeed, he did not know the man yet, but he was already very sure that the choice of his ashes was very appropriate. However, he did not know what to answer because he was already very confused by the problem of romance.

"How, Zahra? Yafiq will be here at noon, because now that you are here, then he will meet you immediately" Abi Hasan said with a smile.

"Alright, Bi. Zahra will try to get to know him first" Zahra said with confidence.

"Abi won't cook it, but if Zahra doesn't like it. Don't go on" Abi Hasan said without much emphasis.

Then, Zahra nodded and went back to talking with her parents. Even so, he never wanted to think about this.

Not felt, the day has come. Where, Yafiq and his parents will come to visit the house of Ustaz Hasan. Therefore, Zahra had already prepared herself first.

"Assalamualaikum" said someone from outside the house.

"Mi, it must be Yafiq. Try to open the door," asked Abi Hasan and Umm Hanum just nodded, then approached the door of his house.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" said Ummi Hanum when he opened the door. And sure enough what said Abi Hasan, Yafiq who came to his house along with his parents.

"Please come in, son Yafiq." Ummi Hanum welcomed him very well.

"Thank you, Mi." Yafiq went into the house of Ustaz Hasan.

When he arrived, he was in the middle room. Yafiq kissed the back of Abi Hasan's hand, while Zahra was still in his room.

"Son Yafiq, how is it? Are you ready to meet Abi's daughter?" abi Hasan and Yafiq asked.

"God willing, Abi."Yafiq was convinced of his choice, so he thought nothing else.

From the front, there was a beautiful woman who was walking along with Ummi Hanum, and was about to approach her. For this reason, Jafiq bowed down and did not see Zahra until he sat down in a chair with Abi Hasan.

"Jafiq, this is Abi's daughter Zahra." Abi Hasan introduced his daughter to Yafiq.

Hearing this, Jafiq raised his head and looked at Zahra. The first thing he saw from her was, her graceful and reclusive appearance. Moreover her beautiful face, greatly fascinated her for the first time.

"God willing, the beauty of this woman" said Yafiq in his heart, for he could not say it directly.

Unconsciously, Zahra was watching him. However, not long after that, he again lowered his head.

"Zahra, have you made up your mind, son?" abi Hasan asked his daughter.

Zahra seemed silent and occasionally looked at Yafiq who often looked at him, silently.

"Yes, Abi. Zahra accepted it, but on one condition" said Zahra and now everyone there, looking at her intently.

"Alright, Zahra. I can accept your terms, and in the end, I have given them to God." Yafiq did not feel any objection at all, on the condition of Zahra.

Abi Hasan began to explain the taaruf to Zahra and Yafiq.

"In simple terms, taaruf is an introductory process carried out by a man with an Islamic woman accompanied by a third party. The process is done to find a match between the two individuals, before heading to the next stage, namely the khitbah (lamaran)."

Abi Hasan paused for a moment and again said, "What Zahra asks is okay, because this taaruf has not been declared bound and of the two can not continue it because of cause. Therefore, in the process of this introduction, there must be a third party if they meet."

Zahra and Jafiq listened to Ustaz Hasan well. However, Zahra already knew the limits, but she did not say it and just kept quiet.

"Before going to the next stage, the sermon, then both parties must be sure of the choice. It was done to avoid incompatibility so that there is no conflict between the two," explained Ustaz Hasan.

"Zahra, now you can get to know the man who will be your candidate. Abi will not force her, but if Zahra is comfortable with Yafiq. Don't take too long to put it off, continue to move on to the next stage" Ustaz Hasan told his daughter.

"Good, Abi." Zahra also smiled beautifully and it looked so enchanting that Yafiq was speechless to see it.

Do not be ignored again, the beauty of Zahra naturally added with a sweet smile, so that it has hypnotized many people adam. However, only this time Zahra was willing to accept the man who boldly invited her to the taaruf.

"Thank God, thank you Ustaz Hasan. My parents and I are very happy with the decision Zahra made" Yafiq said, looking at Zahra who appeared silent.

It is undeniable, Yafiq has been very fond of Zahra even though he had just met for the first time, while Zahra was just silent. And when viewed from his appearance, Yafiq is not a ustaz, but from his way of speaking very polite.

Therefore, Zahra liked him, but did not love him. His face was also handsome, and it seemed that Yafiq came from a family of being. However, he was very fond of simplicity and did not see anyone from the position, or rank he obtained.

"Zahra, can I have your phone number?" asked Yafiq and Zahra was silent for a moment.

After thinking about it, Zahra gave Yafiq her mobile number. And he was very happy because he could know his future wife further, although not necessarily able to survive.

After several hours at Zahra's house, Yafiq and the two men left. After Yafiq, Zahra was only pensive to think about his relationship later.

However, in his heart, Zahra was determined to provide an opportunity for Yafiq. He wanted to know how far Yafiq could get to know him and take his heart.

Yafiq also only knew his name, so only this time he saw the face of the woman he would make as a companion for life. Her courage encouraged her to get Zahra, not only because she was beautiful, but she liked her attitude so much that it was possible for her to be able to meet whatever requirements Zahra asked for.

"Zahra Nur Azizah, wait for me until we are united by the bond of marriage" Yafiq said in his heart with a smile.

"Yafiq, the woman you choose is very beautiful, I love it," said Ms. Tiara— her mother Yafiq.

Yafiq only smiled in response. "Mother likes it too, especially me, Mom," Yafiq said as he drove his car with a very happy feeling.
