One month is enough time for Asiyah to get to know Mr. Jendi. Assisted by Caca and Cita also Mr. Nomo, to find out some things about Mr. Jendi, which may be there are things that Asiyah should know, but covered by Mr. Jendi.
His family. Pak Jendi turned out to be a child born from an incapable family. Mr. Sendi struggled in the middle of his family as the responsibility for Mother and also his four younger siblings. Pak Sendi was the eldest of five brothers.
After his father died, Mr. Jendi began to feel the rigors of life. At the age of eight years is Pak Jendi forced to mature early by the circumstances.
Start by selling newspapers at the crossroads of the red light in the morning. Also sell cakes during the day, sometimes also in the afternoon at the gas station, in crowded places such as bus terminals, and others.
Working as a building porter is commonly done. Pelvic porters in the market are also things that are not strange anymore for him. Sometimes it is also a public transport. All of this was done to help his mother. His sister was small with such a close age.
What about the school? It turns out that Mr. Jendi is a smart kid. Behind his hard work to make a living for his family, Pak Sendi also has an ambition that is to become a police officer. Yes, he said so that he can take care of Mom and her four siblings continue.
That way, the school never left. Even with a shabby dress. The torn shoes. The bag that's out the line of thread. Sometimes with school stationery. Mr. Jendi was never ashamed of it.
His thin body continues to walk the steep path of life's destiny.
The good path he passed, did not necessarily lead him to the success of achieving his goals. All the efforts and ways He has done, but still failed again and again.
Until in the end, Mr. Jendi found his destiny. Capitalize on extensive association. Friendly and sociable attitude. Enough savings too. With his smarts, Mr. Jendi slowly began to build a production house. Artistic management, which has now become a big name. He also raised the name Asiyah.
Well that's it. What reached Asiyah's ears, was about the many virtues of Mr. Jendi. A man who is responsible to his family. Also a hardworking man who has a great ambition in his life. Until success becomes a person who has a treasure.
Instantly Asiyah's thoughts about Pak Jendi changed. Which was more inclined towards negative things, now all bad thoughts just disappear.
Could this be the answer to my prayer for God? Is Pak Jendi the soul mate that God chose for me? Asiyah was still hesitating in asking her heart.
One month passed since Mr. Jendi came to ask Asiyah to Umi.
That afternoon, in the busy crowd of film crews at the shooting location.
"Dad, it's been a month since then you asked me to give you some time. Have you forgotten your promise to me?" Pak Sendi suddenly sat next to Asiyah in the waiting room, while Asiyah was breaking from her role playing the movie. His gaze focused forward, not staring at Asiyah.
Asiyah saw. A man who is no longer a big boss for himself. Except his second match.
"Hmmmm.. L am.. Come to my house tonight Sir, I will give the answer in front of Umi," Asiyah immediately went from Pak Sendi's side. End the conversation, quickly.
Mr. Joints are silent. Still stuck in place.
Seconds by seconds passed. At 20:00. Asiyah went home with Caca and Cita, Mr. Nomo drove the car in his chair.
"Assalamu'alaykum's chat.. Umi, Umi," Asiyah was about to enter her house. The living room door seemed open.
Asiyah walked in.
Could it be that Mr. Jendi listened to my request this afternoon? He really came and waited for me. Asiyah also stared at Umi and Pak Jendi dramatically, waiting for a word from them to stop this silent silence.
The table again wrapped Umi, Asiyah and Pak Jendi on the sofa.
This time there were only three of them. More privacy just talk.
Caca, Cita and Mr. Nomo were watching from a considerable distance. Aisyah and Ali were in their rooms. Earlier, Umi said to Aisyah and Ali, 'later don't come out, this is the talk of parents, children should not interfere'.
Quiescent. The atmosphere becomes stiff.
Asiyah tried to stop this silence.
"Umi, after one month Asiyah tried to think of an offer from Mr. Jendi, also Asiyah had prayed to Allah to strengthen her heart, Asiyah decided.." the soft and gentle speech was stopped. Asiyah was unable to cover up her nervousness at this moment. His voice was getting softer and barely audible.
"Yes Nak?" ask Umi to Asiyah. Trying to strengthen. Asiyah looked weak with her words.
Mr. Jendi waited word for word to come out of Asiyah's mouth, waiting for good news from her. His eyes could not be separated from looking at Asiyah's face.
Asiyah was embarrassed.
"Asiyah decided to accept Mr. Jendi's proposal," The voice sounded softly from Asiyah's mouth.
Mr. Jendi immediately smiled happily. Eyes sparkling. "Alhamdulillah, thank you Asiyah, thank you Umi," he said loudly.
"Alhamdulillah, hopefully this is the best choice for you son, your soul mate is near, Asiyah must be strong in undergoing household exams later, yes," said Umi to her prayer child. Hugged Asiyah who was next to him. The tears of Umi. So did Asiyah.
Days have passed since then.
Family meeting has been held. The date of the marriage has been determined. Just counting the days again, that sacred procession will soon be realized. Asiyah's dream of getting married is not just a dream anymore. In the Lord God's destiny has come to him.
"I accepted the marriage and marriage of Asiyah!" said Mr. Jendi. Firm and challenging. With a smile of happiness today.
Asiyah walked out of her room. Sitting next to Mr. Jendi after the contract was completed.
Now Mr. Jendi and Asiyah are officially married. Now they are not just coworkers. But it has also become a legal married couple in the eyes of religion and country.
Asiyah still did not expect what had happened in her life. Everything happened so fast.
However, there is one thing that cannot be denied. Asiyah also realized this. Of the many tragedies that have been passed, God wants everything to happen. And it is his way like this. It was supposed to happen.
