Daniel nodded with certainty, the young man had been convinced by his decision to follow the aqidah as well as the faith of the lover.
"What's? Become a convert? Are you serious, Niel?" ask the father who looks very surprised.
"Don't Papa and Mama allow Daniel to choose which one Daniel thinks is good, Pa?" daniel asked, reminding.
"Yes, Pa. We agreed to give our son freedom, didn't we?" The graceful woman who sat beside Daniel also chimed in on the words of the son that reminded her husband.
"Papa thought, it could be later along the way," said his father Daniel.
"Pa, here the marriage of different beliefs will not be able to" said Daniel.
"Yes, papa knows that. You'll get married abroad, '" the father said.
Fatiya let out a long sigh hearing the words of her father Daniel.
"Pa, we've agreed before" protested Daniel's mother.
The middle-aged man nodded. "Yes, right. Well, if Daniel has made his choice," Daniel's father said later.
Fatiya breathed with relief, and so did her mother.
"Well, if Mas Daniel has been determined by the decision taken, I will explain first the conditions that must be fulfilled before saying the word shahadah," said Mr. Ustad.
Daniel nodded.
Mr. Ustadz then explained what conditions Daniel must meet, including circumcision.
"Does it hurt?" daniel asked who was in pain when Mr. Ustadz explained a little about circumcision.
"Sick a little, Mas Daniel. Yes, as if our hands were scratched by a sharp object," replied Mr. Ustadz with a smile.
"Is the old heal, Tadz? It's a sensitive part of the wound, '" Daniel was still horrified, but the young man did not want to show his concern to Fatiya.
"Lumayan Mas Daniel, three days to a week." Mr. Ustadz smiled, the shady-looking man understood Daniel's concerns.
"Sorry, what if I ask for a week before our wedding?" bargain Daniel who hesitated to do circumcision.
After the negotiations, it was finally agreed that Daniel would recite the creed a week before his marriage to Fatiya.
After explaining everything to Daniel, Mr. Ustadz resigned.
Both Daniel's parents, as well as Saidah's mother, continued the conversation. The three of him discussed the wedding plans of Fatiya and Daniel, until all was completed. Of course, the Daniel family will handle everything, including spreading invitations.
While Fatiya and Daniel are only loyal listeners, while occasionally chiming if it feels something is not right according to them both.
"Alright, Mom. Because it is clear and agreed all and the day is also getting night, we say retreat first," said his father Daniel with a warm smile.
"Good, Sir, Mom. Thank you for everything," replied Miss Saidah who felt moved. Although Daniel comes from a rich family, but the parents of Daniel did not look one eye at Fatiya and also Bu Saidah.
Daniel immediately greeted his mother Fatiya. "We'll say goodbye, Mom. Assalamu'alaikum" said Daniel's greeting who immediately followed the steps of his parents out of the Fatiya family's modest house.

Fatiya has forgotten the video Daniel once showed her, which was sent by Santi, Fatiya's friend in the showroom.
The dimpled girl who if smiling looks very sweet, just act ordinary with her friend. Fatiya holds no grudge at all, though Santi has been trying to destroy his relationship with Daniel.
"San, we're eating, yuk!" invite Fatiya, after the hijab girl performs dhuhur prayer.
"Gue ate!" reply Santi with ketus.
"If you want to eat, to the restaurant Mr. Adit aja, there! There was Mr. Angga, Ms. Didi and the young master who at that time you accompanied the test drive! He just came!" santi continued, which still sounded sniffy.
Fatiya let out a long breath. "Yes, I want to eat alone," said Fatiya who immediately left, not wanting to respond to the words of Santi who was actually jealous of Fatiya.
Santi and Fatiya's relationship was initially very good, even Fatiya who asked Diandra to accept Santi to work in the showroom so that the girl who always wears tight clothes can continue her studies.
Santi's envy of Fatiya because the hijab girl is more dear to the showroom owner's boss, making Santi slowly move away from Fatiya.
Especially so far, secretly Santi who was the age of Daniel was fond of the lover of Fatiya. But Daniel instead chose Fatiya who is his younger brother on campus.
"Daniel how, anyway! I've been watching Fafa's friendly video with other guys, still continuing his relationship with Fafa! They both want to get married soon!" santi grumbled after Fatiya got away.
'It seems, I have to find another way to snatch Daniel from Fafa, ' Santi's determination deepened.
Meanwhile, Fatiya who was about to have lunch, chose to look for lunch in a simple stall that was a bit far from the showroom. It takes about five minutes by foot to get to the food stall.
Fatiya walked alone while humming, the girl seemed to not care even though the heat of the sun was so stinging burning her skin.
Upon arrival at the stall, Fatiya immediately ordered food to be wrapped. Because, the stalls are very crowded and most of the buyers are adam. Fatiya felt uncomfortable if he had to eat at the stall, without any female friends.
"Mom, rames rice one, wrapped," pinta Fatiya. "Nation is not much yes, Mom," said Fatiya as usual.
"Not eat here, Mommy Fafa?" ask the shop owner's mother, who is already very familiar with Fatiya.
Fatiya. "No, Ma. Fafa hurriedly," Fatiya replied reasoned.
After getting an order of rames rice and sweet iced tea, Fatiya rushed to leave the stall to return to the showroom.
"Eat, Mas," Fatiya bargained with one of his male friends, shortly after Fatiya sat on his stool.
"Yes, Fa. Go ahead, I'm done, "reply the man. "No eating there, Fa?" continues asking.
"No, Mas. There are many more visitors" replied Fatiya.
Fatiya immediately opened the food she had just bought, the round-eyed girl started to enjoy the rice wrap regardless of Santi's cynical gaze towards her.
'Damn it! I'm tired of following because I think Fafa wants to catch up with Mbak Didi and the guy to the restaurant, but Fafa instead to the slum shop! Failing that, my mission to take a video of Fafa this afternoon is the same guy to make Daniel jealous!' santi Gerrutu.
The girl still kept thinking, how to snatch Daniel from Fatiya.
