Assalamualaikum Ustadz Ku
2. The Match of Kesya and Inspiration
After a long journey, they finally arrived at the station. Ilham has not yet acknowledged that he is the son of Kiai where Kesya and Rashid mondok.
Kesya and Rashid were shocked when they saw Abah Kiai and Nyai's mother embracing Ilham and picking him up.
"Mas, isn't that Nyai's mother and Abah Kiai?" Kesya who saw the blue scene could not bear to ask the brother.
"That's right deck, Ikham did not say well, if he's Abah Yai's son and Nyai's mother. whereas we already said we go lodging there," Rashid looked disappointed with the dishonesty of Ilham.
The inspiration that saw the brothers passing by and was about to greet Abah and Uminya finally could only subdue the view. Kesya looked at him with a full view of the question. That was answered only with a dirty smile from Ilham. Kesya just pouted behind her veil.
Rashid and Kesya then sung to the leader of the boarding school that they respected. Rashid and Kesya had indeed returned home after getting a call that his mother entered the hospital. After recovery they return to the cottage again.
"Do you know each other?" abah Kiai asked slowly.
"Yes Abah, on the train.A very long journey, if without friends, will be very boring "Ilham explained.
"Rashid and Kesya, let's go back to the cottage together." ordered Nyai's mother.
Rashid who felt bad, tried to refuse but Abah Kiai forced them to come along, anyway the car also still fit, if only the two of them.
Finally Kesya and Rashid have no choice, because it is not polite to refuse the ascension of the leader of the boarding school where he went.
they finally sat in the back seat. In the middle seat of Ibu Nyai and Ilham, Abah Kiai sat in the front seat with the driver.
"Ilham, do you remember? Yesterday when you wanted to go to Tangerang, Abah told me about the son of a friend who had died a long time ago." asked Abah Yai.
"Yes Abah, why?" tanya Ilham began to rile while looking at a glance at Kesya. since the first look at Ke sya at the ticket counter, Ilham was already interested in the veiled girl.
His brother once told him that he had a marriage agreement with his brother's son. By that matter, Ilham was very upset. How will the continuation .his relationship with Kesya? Though earlier on the train, Ilham was determined to ask his brother to propose to the girl as his wife later.
"Ilham.. Ilham... You hear what Abah is talking about? from that daydreaming, what's up?" asked his brother while looking back.
Inspiration awakened from the daydream finally can only smile keki.shame on Abahan, Kesya and Rashid.
"Sorry Abah, still cape with the long journey," Inspiration tried to cover up the anger of his heart.
"Ilham, the girl that Abah will marry you is the case, his sister Nak Rashid this," Uminya pointed while looking back.
Ilham and Kesya were surprised to hear the words. Kesya so remember, long ago, before his father died did mention about this matchmaking, when Ilham was continuing his studies in Egypt. So Kesya never met.
It was only a few months ago that she returned from Egypt, but she chose to stay at her grandmother's house, which is why they had never met before.
"Certainly Umi?" tanya Ilham sumringah and looking a happy twinkle in her eyes, she glanced at Kesya who was sitting behind, who was as surprised as she was.
"Yes, baby, that's right. What do you think? Did you meet directly with the case, do you mind Abah's intention with Umi?" ask her Umi while holding the hand of Ilham.
"Ilham doesn't mind Umi," Ilham glanced back. It just so happened that Kesya was watching him too. Kesya felt her heart pounding with the answer given by Ilham.
Rashid was also surprised by the news. Because he just heard about it. Her mother's father never mentioned it to her. In the past, it was only Kesya who was told. because at that time Rashid was mumps.
"Sir Kesya how do you think?" ask Uminya Ilham while looking back.
"What do you think, Rashid? "
"If it had been arranged so by the old men. We can only obey. I'm convinced. Alm father must have considered all the bad good." replied Rashid while looking at his sister's eyes that looked sparkling. Not feeling, he was also happy. Who is not proud? His sister is to marry a Gus, the son of a Kiai with santri of more than five thousand people?
From the look of those eyes, Rashid understood, that his sister also did not mind the matchmaking.
Without feeling they finally reached the cottage. Rashid and Kesya thanked them for being given a ride.they immediately went into their respective dormitories.
Before leaving, ilham asked Kesya to wait for him for a while, because there was something he wanted to convey.
After putting the things of Inspiration to meet Kesya in the place where they had separated. Kesya still lowered her face. Ilham felt very anxious, if not remember that they had not become a halal couple, wanted to kiss the girl, who had stolen his heart when he first saw her at the train ticket counter yesterday afternoon.
"What is it about Ilham? Kesya felt embarrassed, lingering here. I'm afraid there'll be some nasty gossip to hear." Kesya tried to talk to Ilham.
But the one who spoke was even smiling without answering his questions.
"Mas.. Ilham..Kok even smile anyway? What was? " Kesya repeated the question.
"Oh.. sorry.. You don't mind our matchmaking?"ask Ilham while smiling like a fool.
Kesya who caught a glimpse felt amused at his heart. Even though the time on the train, talking to her brother was very excited, why now turned so timid? Kesya smiled behind her veil.
"I don't mind Mas, marriage is worship, we perfect our worship with marriage" he replied steadily.
"Alhamdulillah Kesya if you do not mind our matchmaking," Inspiration is very happy
though Umi had asked, but still, Ilham wanted to make sure himself that his future wife agreed, so he was relieved.
"Dear Ilham, why not be asked to enter the prospective daughter-in-law Umi?" suddenly Uminya Ilham came out in a hurry and patted Ilham's shoulder.
"It's okay Miss Nyai, Kesya just want to go to the hostel, want to rest, Mas Ilham must also be tired after a day on the train." Kesya still lowered her head.
"Yes already. Rest yes, prospective daughter-in-law Umi. Later at dinner, here again yes with his brother Rashid, there are important things to be conveyed by Abah." Kesya was a bit surprised but she could only nod.
"Alright Nyai Ma'am. Go to the dormitory first" Ms Nyai immediately went back into the house.
"Assalamualaikum ustad me," said Kesya before going to his dorm.
"Greetings from my future wife!" Inspiration answered with great happiness.
Ilham still smiled to himself when he entered his house.Ilham's behavior was noticed by his parents.
"Alhamdulillah if the two of them have agreed, Umi was very afraid, if they refused this match," Mr. Kiai smiled.
"We have arranged for them to meet before. Umi and mamahnya Kesya will have planned this carefully," said Pak Kiai slowly.
"Hus. don't look around, Ilham will hear the danger" Uminya Ilham looked around. kwatir Ilham heard what her husband said.
"Thank you Abah and Umi, who had arranged my meeting with Kesya," Ilham walked into his room quietly, his parents knowing that he had heard their words just now
