..."A good man is he who can keep his eyes off what is not his mahram, he who keeps his faith, and he who can take responsibility for everything he does."...

After a long conversation with Anisa, the three of them immediately went home and Hadwan first delivered Iklima, while Anisa. He went home alone because it was common and the distance of his mosque was also not far from his home.

Along the way home, Iklima continued to think about everything that Hadwan and Anisa had said in the mosque and it made him more interested in being able to become a better person. Moreover, seeing the way Hadwan invited him and brought him to meet Anisa, not only for many reasons, but he took her on the right path.

Not only that, Iklima also noticed the way Hadwan walked and acted to him. For a long time Iklima was curious about Hadwan who always kept his distance from him every day and lowered his head when faced with him.

"Sister, can I ask you something?" Iklima could not help his curiosity, so he chose to ask directly.

"Can you ask what?" replied Hadwan being friendly to him.

"Why does Brother Hadwan when faced with me always look down? Is my face scary? Or because I'm so bad?" tanya Klima was full of curiosity.

Hadwan paused for a moment, then replied, "I deliberately lowered my head before you not because you're creepy, but I'm keeping my eyes on what's not my mahram and that's you."

"In that case, let me be your mahram who can be together at all times, look at each other, and can see you every day looking at me without having to look down again." I don't know where Iklima can say that, but surely he started to like Hadwan.

"Not like that? Until you can never be my mahram." Hadwan could only shake his head, then go back on his way.

"Why is that? I'm so jealous if it's just the land you've always been looking at, and I haven't seen you once in that time," said Iklima who began to complain because Hadwan never looked at him like other brothers and families.

"If you want to be looked at like that, then you must also try to solidify yourself. And if it's time, someone will be staring at you all the time. Where that time comes, then I will be grateful to be able to make you happy," said Hadwan who without Iklima realized there is a hope in it.

"Am I less beautiful to you? And less interesting for you, so that I have repeatedly tried to get the heart of Kak Hadwan, but never once succeeded" said Iklima lirih.

"I love you, Brother Hadwan. Therefore, I pursue you," said Iklima who made Hadwan take a deep breath.

"We better go home, it's almost magrib and your parents must have been waiting for you" said Hadwan who did not want his business to get longer.

"Alright," answered Iklima a little upset that Hadwan continued to ignore him.

After they reached the front of the house Iklima, Hadwan who was in front of him still continued to bow, while Iklima could only smile to see him.

"Thank you for teaching me so many things and sorry for my carelessness in saying," said Iklima who was replied with a nod of his head by Hadwan.

"Yes, equally," replied Hadwan, then left before the girl.

"Sir," call Iklima before Hadwan moves away from him.

Hadwan turned around and saw Iklima at a glance. "What's wrong?" ask her with a relaxed tone of voice.

"Please tell Anisa sister thank you, yes" said Iklima and Hadwan just nodded.

"Let me say it" replied Hadwan briefly.

"Thank you, my future husband," said Iklima with a sweet smile to Hadwan. After that, he immediately entered his house because he felt very embarrassed.

Hadwan who saw the behavior of Iklima can only shake his head, not to forget also his smile that rises on his face makes Hadwan more handsome. But baby, Iklima didn't see it.
