“Sa, please please don't ever say anything to abi or my mama about Kak Ilham's feelings for me. And, should the wedding take place as soon as possible, no problem even though only ijab qobul only!” Syifa.
"Fa, to be honest with me, you also have a sense of the Inspiration bang? marrying a half-brother is allowed. Only you have to be honest with how you feel!" nafisa.
"I know that, Sa. But, I ... I can't marry your brother .." said Syifa.
"Why?" cecar Nafisa's. "There's another guy you like?" ask again.
Sis Ilham is the only man I know very well and has ideal criteria to serve as a companion to life. Even I know a lot of girls in the Arab village who idolize him. But, I was self-conscious about the calamity that had befallen me at that time, I was not sure that I was worthy of the brother of Inspiration. First, my mother had told me not to fall in love with Ilham! inner Syifa.
"It's not so, Sa. Sis Ilham deserves a woman who is much better than me" Syifa said.
"Then you rejected my brother, Fa. It's late in the afternoon, I have to go home now, my husband has already picked me up. I go first, Fa. Assalamualaikum!" nafisa pamit.
"Mosur." Syifa just stared at Nafisa's departure.
......................
I don't think time goes so fast. It's been a month now. This afternoon Arjuna came to his hostel. The young man began to ask back about Syifa's answer to his proposal. Syifa, who was accompanied by her mother, finally apologized for not being able to accept her application. Because Syifa is not ready for a household. Syifa also did it to maintain good relations between Arjuna and Hanif. He did not want the relationship of sister-in-law and sister-in-law to deteriorate just because of him.
Rosa who understood the decision of her daughter also apologized to Ummi Farida, because she could not persuade Syifa to choose Hanif. He gave the same reason that Syifa gave to Arjuna. Alika who also heard was disappointed by that. The boy was crying and barely ate all day. Syifa felt very guilty towards Alika. However, he will not change his decision.
The boy did not want to see Syifa for days. As a result, Hanif had to take pains to persuade his daughter not to drag on in grief.
...----------------...
Before bed Syifa checked the status of WA on her phone. Right at that moment he saw the status of WA Nafisa who declared the return of Ilham. The news of Ilham's arrival that night made Syifa happy and anxious. After a long time did not meet, of course, there was a longing for the figure of the man he admired. However, he was also worried what reaction Ilham would show later on the wedding plan abi Imron with mama Rosa.
"What's up, Fa?" asked Rosa to her silent daughter.
"Eh, Mama. This is Ma, from the status of WA Nafisa it seems like brother Ilham has returned home," Syifa said.
"Alhamdulillah ..," said Rosa, laying down on the bed next to her daughter.
"Mama, not expecting, Fa. You are destined to be brothers. Behind the disaster that Mama experienced, apparently there is a plan of God that is so beautiful for us," said Rosa. "Mama used to worry that you fell in love with Ilham or vice versa. Do you still remember Mama's message so you don't put your heart on Inspiration?" continued again.
Hearing that Syifa who had closed her eyes immediately opened her eyes and turned towards her mother. He wondered what his mother's words meant.
"Ma .. What if it happens, Ma?" ask Syifa curiously.
"Almost Mama forgot to tell you, Fa ...," said Rosa.
Rosa then tells the reason why Syifa and Ilham are not allowed to marry.
Syifa immediately gasped to hear it. He did not expect that fate outlined him and Ilham could not unite into halal lovers as he hoped.
...----------------...
Hearing the return of Ilham, Arab villagers welcomed him with joy. They came to the house to welcome the coming of Inspiration. The young man was well known in the Arab village. Moreover, he is the successor of Habib Akbar's descendants, his grandfather. The most famous among the citizens of Arab descent. Not only in his village, but the late Habib Akbar is also quite well known in the archipelago to his home country in Yemen.
After the neighbors came, Imron asked Ilham to rest. He was sure that his son must have been very tired after the long journey. Tomorrow morning he will take his son to talk.
The day after performing the congregational dawn prayer in the mosque, Imron held Ilham not to go home immediately.
He soon approached his son as other worshippers began to leave the mosque.
"Ham, Abi wants to talk to you!" imron said very carefully.
Inspiration turned towards his ashes with a smile. "Ilham there's also something I want to say, Bi!"
"really? then you said it first!" imron pinta.
"No, Bi. Abi used to tell stories. That must be very important, right?" ilham said shyly.
Finally Imron told about the last message umminya so that his ashes were married again.
Hearing that, Ilam was quite surprised. However, he tried to understand the umminya desire which of course is for the good of abi.
"Who's going to work with you, Bi?" ask Ilham.
"Ummi, wants Abi to marry Rosa ...," Imron said carefully.
"What-a?" Inspiration was very surprised to hear it.
He asked his brother for permission to propose to Syifa.
"You don't mind if Abi marries Rosa? Abi proposed to him a few weeks ago, if you agree Abi will hold a qobul ijab in the near future," Imron said at length.
"Did Syifa and her mother agree?" Inspiration to ask.
Imron nodded in response.
"Alright, if all have agreed Ilham will support your decision" said Ilham resigned. Although in his heart he still felt heavy receiving others present in his official position. But he will try to accept it because it is his own official request.
"Thankful ... Abi was relieved to hear it. Then what do you want to say?" ask Imron.
"Em, Ilam forgot, Bi. Later Ilham remember first ..," kilah Ilham. He had better hold back his desire to propose to Syifa. He also needs to meet Syifa first to make sure of something.
