Ramadan Without Sua
Finally the Candidate Imam

Meanwhile, just two days later Dhita gave news to Dhito that he was home. Indeed Ardhita does not want to rush, but take time first for Father and Mother. Although very long with Dhito, but there is a greater and deeper sense of longing with both parents.

Now, Ardhita just contacted Dhito and wanted to share the good news with Dhito. Ardhita immediately picked up her phone and called Dhito.

Mr. Dhito

Rang ....

"Hello, Assalamualaikum Mas Dhito" Ardhita said to her lover that afternoon.

"Hello, Waalaikumsalam, Dik. New what? Not on duty, huh?" ask Dhito.

To Dhito, Ardhita did not tell him that he had returned from Natuna. Until now, the girl smiled and let Dhito still with his speculation. It was precisely good because Dhito would definitely be surprised by the news he would now convey.

"Mas Dhito's new day shift huh?" ask Ardhita.

"Yes, Brother. Until three o'clock in the afternoon. Tumben you called me this afternoon," replied Dhito.

Ardhita was caught from the phone call. Dhito sighed, he wanted to stare at that angel of his heart. He wants to meet Ardhita.

"I just want to tell Mas Dhito .. I'm actually in Malang. In my house" replied Ardhita.

"What's right, brother? Since when. Why not tell me?" asked Dhito confusedly.

"I've been two weeks in Malang. However, quarantine was two weeks. Now, it's home" Dhita replied.

"Alhamdulillah .. at last this day has come. Can I see you for a minute? It's the New normal era, can we meet?" ask Dhito.

It is now shifting with the new era of normalcy. You can meet other people, but you have to implement a health protocol. Therefore, Dhito intends to be able to meet with Ardhita. Has been holding longs for so long, so expect to meet with Ardhita.

"Please, Mom. It's important to wear a mask well" Ardhita replied.

Ah, it feels like Dhito wants to head to Ardhita's house right now. However, he still had to work, so had to be patient first. After returning home from work, Dhito will visit Ardhita. Right now, his heart was already roaring. It was imagined to be able to meet face to face with his heart lover.

Afternoon ....

At about 17:00, a young man came to Ardhita's house riding an N-Max motorcycle. The young man felt his heart thump more. This was their first meeting after a year and a half.

Not meant to be romantic, Dhito stopped by the flower shop and bought a red rose for Ardhita. There was also a cake that he bought as souvenirs. However, visit the home of prospective in-laws, at least not empty-handed.

"Assalamualaikum" said Dhito.

"Waalaikumsalam," replied Ardhita himself who opened the door for Dhito.

By both using masks, the tears are just like that. Haru's. No words to say. Both eyes looked at each other, faces looked at each other, but no words were said. It really feels haru. The heart that was timid as if accompanying the meeting of the two.

"Dik," greeted Dhito with his trembling voice.

"For so long," replied Dhito.

There is actually a desire to be able to step up his legs and embrace Dhita. Unfortunately, Dhito was completely restrained. Missing whatever he is with Ardhita, still unspoken agreement, Ardhita is not his Mahram.

Eventually Dhito reached out his hand, just to shake Ardhita's hand. Not thinking for long, Ardhita welcomed Dhito's handshake. The two palms are linked to each other. There's a hand grip, maybe it's the only touch they can do.

After a handshake, Dhito gave her a red rose that he had bought. "For you, Dik," said Dhito.

"Rose flower" replied Dhita who now started to smile.

"Yes, your favorite," replied Dhito.

After that, Dhito was welcome to enter the house. Dhita also called her Father and Mother who greeted Dhito. Everyone there is still wearing masks because it implements health protocols.

"How's Mas Dhito doing?" ask Mr. Harja and Mother.

"Alhamdulillah, fine. A little souvenir for Father and Mother" said Dhito by giving the cake he bought.

"Please Mas Dhito. Don't bother, Mas," replied Ms. Tini.

"No hassle, Mother."

After saying hello, Mr. Harja and his wife went back into the house. The goal is certainly to give time for Ardhita and Dhito to meet and talk. However, Dhito also expressed his heart to Father and Mother Ardhita first.

"Sorry, Father and Mother .. for example, Dhito wants to ask Ardhita right away is it okay?" tanyakanya.

"Why is it so fast, Mas Dhito?" ask Ms. Tini.

Dhito felt that now was the right time. He wanted to bind Ardhita in a holy and legitimate marriage. Don't want to buy any more time.

"Can we get married in a pandemic like this? We have not prepared anything yet" replied Mr. Harja.

"Could, Father. I'll be in KUA" Dhito replied.

According to Dhito, there is no need to hold a fancy wedding. The essence of marriage is commitment. A commitment that binds and unites two people in building a healthy household life, mawaddah, and warahmah.

"You don't mind?" ask Mr. Harja.

"I don't" replied Dhito.

"What are you, Ta?" ask Mr. Harja again.

"God willing, Dhita doesn't mind either" he replied.

Now it feels so relieved there can be a bright spot in their relationship. Later Dhito will tell his heart to his Father and Mother first. May both families agree and give their blessing to both build a household in this pandemic.
