5 Years of Marriage Without Love
Good Intentions Gus Bagas

Bagas was called by Abah Irfan and Umm Zainab while he was teaching in class.

"Gus Bagas, called by Kiai Irfan," said Ustadz Ilyas.

"But I was teaching Ustadz" Bagas said.

"I was told to replace Gus to teach them today, Kiai Irfan and Nyai Zainab have been waiting for Gus in the guest post" Ilyas said.

Bagas was confused as to why he had been called suddenly. His feelings are not good either. He also put his foot into the pendopo.

The sound of the door being knocked.

"Assalamu'alaikum." Bagas said his regards.

Everything in the pendopo turned towards Bagas.

"Wa'alaikumsalam Nak, here." Kiai Irfan coded with his hand to sit next to him.

Bagas went into the pendopo, he saw Kiai Aaron, 2 days ago Kiai Aaron met with Bagas but did not speak anything.

"Kiai Aaron, please convey Kiai's good intentions. Our son knew it because we talked about it. We intend our family to come to the family of women but first Kiai. Please Kiai," said Kiai Irfan, to Kiai Harun.

Bagas' heart was shocked to hear his brother's words. Last night they were talking about this, but it was unexpected that today Kiai Aaron had come. Last night, Bagas asked for time to choose a woman who would fill his heart. It seems there has been an answer from a third of the night of his prayer.3 consecutive days Bagas gathered to ask for answers to his soul mate later. For 3 days, Bagas only caught signs of his prayers last night.

"Good, Kiai. Thank you in advance for the opportunity that Kiai gave me to convey my good intentions," said Kiai Harun.

Bagas already felt bad. How to reject Kiai Harun's intentions. He knew Aaron's intentions and goals, because last night his brother had said he would match up with Ning Haya, but he didn't expect it to be this fast.

"I intend to match my second daughter Ning Haya with Gus Bagas" said Kiai Harun.

"Gus Bagas also knows Ning Haya because once every 1 week he teaches at this boarding school" he continued.

Bagas had found the answer to the prayers in the third of the night. He was thinking what he would say to refuse the matchmaking with Ning Haya.

"Alhamdulillah. Abah and Umi are very grateful for Kiai Aaron's good intentions, son. How'd you answer?" kiai Irfan asked, against Bagas.

"Son, why are you quiet?" the Ummi Zainab.

"Perhaps, our son is thinking, Ummi," said Kiai Irfan.

10 Minutes passed, Bagas was still speechless.

"Son, how did you answer? don't make Kiai Aaron wait long for your answer. We talked about this last night, didn't we? answer now, son." Said Kiai Irfan, touching Bagas' hand.

"Bismillah, earlier, I apologize Abah, Kiai. Not to heed Kiai Harun's proposal. It seems, fate did not want me to be with Kiai's daughter Ning Haya" Bagas said.

"I already have my chosen wife, this is the answer of one-third of the night to my prayers" he continued.

"Who is he son, do we know him?" tanya Ummi Zainab, to Bagas.

"Yes Ummi, she's the woman who came with Mba Aisyah last night. I've known him before in Jakarta" said Bagas.

"You mean Mba Bilah? who helped Salma when she choked?" tanya Ummi Zainab.

"Yes Ummi, she is the woman for the answer to prayer in the third of my night" said Bagas.

"Kiai, then I say goodbye first. Thank you, because Gus Bagas has answered firmly. So that I can tell my daughter, because actually Ning Haya wants Gus Bagas as her future husband. May my daughter be able to hold her breast and believe that God's destiny is the best" Kiai Harun told Kiai Irfan and Bagas.

"We apologize to Kiai, for the disloyalty of our son to accept the goodwill of Kiai" Kiai Irfan said with regret.

"No Kiai, don't apologize. Indeed Allah has made a line for his people. My daughter with Gus Bagas is not a match." Said Kiai Aaron, who felt bad when Kiai Irfan apologized to him.

Afterward Kiai Harun shook hands with Kiai Irfan and Bagas, he said his greetings and left.There remained Bagas, Ummi Zainab and Kiai Irfan.

"Apply him. His parents are also in this cottage," said Kiai Irfan.

"Sorry, Abah and Ummi. Mba Nabilah was a widow but had no children. Do Abah and Ummi agree with my choice?" ask Bagas, for his honesty.

Hearing Bagas' speech, Kiai Irfan and Umm Zainab were shocked by Bagas' speech. They instantly fell silent for a moment.

"God has answered your prayer one third of the night, which means that God has given guidance to your soul mate, son," said Kiai Irfan.

"What about Ummi?" ask Bagas.

Ummi smiled, "Although a widow, God willing she is a good woman."

"Ummi has never seen you part now, we say immediately this intention of yours," said Ummi Zainab who replied to Bagas' embrace.

"But Ummi, I can't preach him at the moment. Because it is still his iddah, I hope he is my soul mate," said Bagas.

"Yes, it is not allowed to apply while still in iddah. You are patient well, pray a lot so that he becomes your soul mate," said Kiai Irfan.

"Thank you Abah, I really hope that" said Bagas.

Bagas was grateful that his parents were not against him. Bar status is not a barrier, Bagas smiled happily. One problem he had passed, before he was afraid if Abah and Ummi opposed him.

Now Bagas is walking to the house occupied by the Blade. He had already bought the inaugural number, with his heart beating fast Bagas ventured.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

"Assalamu'alaikum."

Before long, there was a voice coming from inside the house.

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

"Eh, Gus," Sarah said as she opened the door.

"Sorry to interrupt mom's break" said Bagas.

"Ah, no. What's up Gus? Any need?" ask Sarah.

"There is a need with Mbak Nabilah, can I meet?" ask Bagas.

"Oh, wait a minute, yeah." Sarah went inside to the bar room.

When Nabilah had just finished his bath, he was drying his hair. He sat on the side of the bed holding a towel that he put in his hair.

"Darling" said Sarah at the door.

"Yes Mah, just go in" said Bilah.

Sarah went into the house, she saw the activity of Blah who was drying her hair.

"Wear your hijab, there's Gus cariin you" Sarah said.

"Oh, maybe he wants to give me a new number, Mah" said Bilah.

"Well, meet Gus. It's not good if you wait too late," said Sarah.

Blah took his instant hijab. His face was very fresh after bathing, he went out of the room and met Bagas.

"Gus," said Blah.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mbak Bilah. I want to give you this prime number" Bagas said as he gave the card. The blade took it from Bagas' hand.

"I'm sorry, I should have said hello. But I say hello to Gus, waalaikumsalam, thank you Gus. How much?" ask Bilah.

"Eh, no need. I really like it" said Bagas.

The bar kept forcing but Bagas did not want to accept it.

"Well, you activate the number now. Pay with save my number," said Bagas.

"Well!" Barah was somewhat surprised by Bagas' request.

May Gus, not like me, Inner Blade.

"Why not to pay, then to pay," said Bagas.

"Well, I'll pay him with money. Strange it's time to save number gus anyway," protested Blah.

"Mistakenly save my number? Who knows, just send a short message to me. Because your ex must be looking for you," said Bagas.

Ih Gus this, why the hell ingetin me. I don't know what, I'm still afraid of it. O Allah may Ranu, do not meet me here, Inner Blade.
