IKHTIAR AKMAL LOVE
DELIBERATING

Next morning. Everyone gathered in the dining room to enjoy breakfast. Akmal suddenly said something that made Rafiq's father and mama Jian feel very happy.

"Are you serious about what you say, son? If Cyra had accepted your proposal?" mama Jian was very happy.

Smiling brightly, Akmal answered. "Yes Mama. The night before returning home, Cyra accepted Akmal's proposal. And tonight we're all invited to visit Abi Rashid's house."

"Yes okay. Daddy wants. Later tonight we come to Rashid's house." Akmal nodded his head.

When Akmal finished his breakfast. He immediately said goodbye to his parents to go to his parents to go to teach.

There was only mama Jian and Rafiq's father at this time who was at the dinner table.

"yeah. Mama is so happy. Cyra has to get out of bed. At least Akmal can get good women and sholehah."

"Yes Mama. And we as good parents should always support and help them. Because in everyone's eyes it would look strange. Because getting off the bed or going to bed in the eyes of the people of Indonesia still looks taboo. Although many have lived it."

"Yes, Dad was right. If anyone dares to say bad to both of them. Mama's ready to be a shield for them." Mama Jian spoke with a fiery voice.

Long story short the night came.

Rafiq's father, mama Jian and also Akmal. We are now at the home of Abi Rashid. And their arrival was immediately warmly welcomed by Abi Rashid along with Umma Nada and Cyra.

"Oh baby. Come with Abu yuk." Akmal wants to hold baby Zahwa. And with pleasure, Cyra gave it to her right away.

"Hows it? Can we start now?" rafiq's father directly coded his palm.

"How's Akmal doing?" Akmal nodded his head.

"Please Abi" Akmal replied.

"All right."

"Abi already knows. If Cyra has accepted your proposal, son." Akmal listened to him very seriously.

"But Abi has conditions for you? How's it?"

"Whatever conditions! Akmal's ready to do it Abi." Akmal spoke very well.

Abi Rashid nodded his head in a sign of liking with Akmal's very firm attitude.

"OKs. Cyra's iddah is only about two months less. Zahwa is now two months and less than a week old. The period of iddah for a woman who was left dead or divorced by her husband is about four months and ten days." Akmal was still very serious about listening to him.

"So Abi asked for. Cyra's iddah was not finished. Abi wants you guys not to meet at all. How's it?"

"If you only communicate via mobile phone, can't Abi?" Akmal tried to ask.

"Can. But Abi hope not to video call ya."

Akmal understands very well and he agrees. "alright. Akmal agrees Abi. And can it be if Cyra's term is over. Abi and Dad are getting ready for our wedding?"

"Akmal wants? When Akmal meets Cyra. Our status has become a couple. Does Abi agree?"

"OKs. Abi completely agreed with your request."

Abi Rashid then turned the question to Cyra. "What about you, Cyra?"

With shame. Cyra answered him immediately. "Cyra just according to how good Abi is."

Abi Rashid nodded his head. "Then. Make sure you play with Zahwa. Because after this you won't be able to see her again until the wedding day arrives."

Akmal agrees. Then she spends her time joking around with baby Zahwa until baby Zahwa feels sleepy.

While the parents and Cyra immediately chatted casually, while taking baby Zahwa in turn.

While holding baby Zahwa who was asleep. Akmal tried asking Cyra. "Cyras. What kind of wedding do you want?"

"If you ask Cyra. Cyra just wants us to be legitimate in the eyes of the state and religion. Hows it? Does your brother agree?"

Cyra then continued. "It seems that Cyra is not worthy to enliven the marriage as before. Forgive Cyra if the answer disappoints Brother."

Akmal smiled. "Sister accepted you because of God. Whatever you want God willing, you will fulfill it. Because a good man is a man who can make his wife and family happy."

"Then we get married simply. Just inviting close brothers." Cyra nodded in agreement.

"Everything. Including you Cyra. There's something Akmal wants to tell you."

"Tell me son" said mama Jian.

"Would Akmal and Cyra get married at Mirza's house?"

Rafiq's father, Jian's mother and everyone, especially Cyra, were shocked to hear Akmal's request.

"And if you're the same Mama let me. Especially you Cyra. Will we stay at Mirza's house after marriage?"

"Did you not own a private house, son?" Abi Rashid asked immediately.

"Had Abi" Akmal replied. "But it feels like Akmal wants to stay in Mirza's house. Because by occupying that house. Akmal feels that Mirza is still present among all of us. From the house it was empty not occupied." continued Akmal's speech.

"Then how's your sister's house?" Cyra asked.

"Sister will give it to Aiza. For her to live one day after she grew up with her husband." Everyone was shocked to hear Akmal's reply.

"How's Cyra? Would you like to? After we get married, do we live in that house?"

"As long as Brother is with Cyra later. Wherever we live. Cyra wants to be sister."

"Alhamdulillah." Akmal was very pleased with Cyra's answer.

"For your business to stay. We don't want to dispute it. What matters is that you live and live in a decent place. And do not hesitate to ask for help to us as long as we are able to help you later" said Rafiq's father.

"Thank you Dad." Rafiq's father nodded immediately.

"So Abi's decision. One week after Cyra's iddah period is over. Abi and your father will prepare for all your marriages. And one week after. Your wedding will be held. Understood?"

"Understand Abi" Akmal and Cyra said simultaneously.

"And Akmal please. As long as Akmal doesn't meet Cyra. Please don't have a man come to propose to Cyra. Is Abi willing to meet Akmal's demands?"

Abi Rashid answered. "Certainly Son. Abi is able to keep Cyra until you're officially married. For Abi has promised to deliver Abi's daughter to you. So there's no way Abi will show it to anyone other than you."

"Thank you Abi," Akmal was relieved to have expressed what was the anxiety of his heart.

It has now been determined when Cyra and Akmal will marry. And where they will live.

Akmal deliberately asked to stay at the house of his brother. Because Akmal wants to always be close to his brother, even though he is no longer by his side.

Cyra also did not demand much dowry from Akmal. Cyra knows very well. “Both women are the cheapest dowry.” (CHR. Ahmad, Ibn Hibban, Hakim & Baihaqi).

After the discussion was quite serious. Rafiq's father then took home mama Jian and Akmal to return to their home.

There is a heart that feels relieved but not yet fully. Whose is that? Of course it belongs to Akmal. And one more. Cyra's.

Somehow by determining when his marriage to Akmal. Cyra was calm and seemed to have a purpose in life. Because since Mirza died. Cyra is losing her way.
