Childhood Match
I Pinang You with Bismillah

Gala's car stopped right in the courtyard of Gendhis's house, but he had not yet moved from his seat, until Gala said,

"As I say, I will take you home. Come downstairs... Your mother's father must have been waiting."

Gendhis simply lowered his face and still had not moved a single bit from his seat. This made Gala feel strange. Was told to ride his difficult car for mercy, now his turn is told to go down and not go down. What exactly was that girl thinking?

"Gendhis?" call the next Gala.

"Sir Gala... Come down!" after remaining a thousand languages during the trip, finally the girl opened her sweet mouth as well.

"What???" Gala still did not understand what Gendhis meant.

"I want to marry my father! Now also come down and talk about this with my parents!" gendhis said and got out of Gala's car without saying anything more.

The simultaneous answer made Gala like she was dreaming. Happy mixed with nervousness. He did not expect that this soon Gendhis would accept it. He understood the reason why on the way home, Gendhis did not say a word. It turned out that he was arranging his heart and soul to be able to answer the hardest question ever asked by his guidance counselor.

"God's Masya... Thank God, I really did not expect that this soon You would answer my prayer... Robb. But Bismillah... With Your Power, O God, I am sure everything will be fine." Gala said shortly before getting out of her car.

Gala eagerly got out of the car to pick up the future that he had been waiting for.

Immediately Mr. Ratno came out to ascertain who came. He saw Genphis get out of the car.

"Alhamdulillah... Gendhis has come home." said Mr. Ratno.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat..." Gendhis greeted and kissed the hands of his father and mother who had been worried about him since.

"Waalaikumsalam.gratitude, Nduk. I'm worried, almost magrib, hasn't come home yet. Where's the bike now?" ask Ms. Sari.

"Had been taken care of by Mr. Gala, he also said Gendhis came home" he replied.

For some reason hearing Gendhis answer, Mr. Ratno's heart felt very calm. Undeniably, the feelings and expectations of the father were very strong in the figure of the lecturer who was always there when Gendhis felt fragile.

"Alhamdulillah... Lecturer sir, please come in!" greet Mr. Ratno kindly to Gala who was walking towards him with her sweet smile.

They also sat in the living room.

"Gendhis..make a drink for the Lecturer, Nduk...!" pinta the father.

"In the meantime, sir. Gala sir is still fasting!" gendhis replied to Gala's astonishment, from which the girl could tell that Gala was also fasting so that her prayers would quickly come true, and it was true.

"Subhanallah... Thank God, then open it here. In a moment magrib and incidentally Gendhis also fasted, so Bune had prepared food to break the fast" said Mr. Ratno.

"So troublesome, Father and Mother" said Gala sungkan.

"Oh... do not bother Mr. Lecturer, we even thank you very much Mr. has brought Gendhis home. Think of it as our thanks." replied Mr. Ratno.

"Call me Gala, sir... The lecturer, if on campus, now here I am a guest." pinta Gala on the prospective in-laws.

"Ohhhh... yes... yes...., son Gala... but... why is it so disrespectful?" Mr. Ratno felt strange as he had not gotten used to the call.

Gala smiled as she said, "Father can only because you're not used to it yet."

"Oh, it's true it might be that way" said Mr. Ratno.

Five minutes to go is open. Ms. Sari and Gendhis had prepared the dishes at the dinner table. There are some simple snacks, and the core dish is vegetable asem and tuna pepes favorite Gala. Out of nowhere Gendhis knew Gala's appetite, even as planned.

Mr. Ratno and Ms. Sari invited Gala to the dining room to break her fast together.

After breaking their fast they headed to the family mosque, preparing to perform the magrib prayer service. As has been done before on Riko, Mr. Ratno also asked Gala to be faith when congregating. Although initially refused because he felt his age was younger than Mr. Ratno, but Gala finally according to the request of the prospective in-laws.

Gala was able to successfully take the heart of the entire house with the free reading of the surah when he was a priest. Mr. Ratno felt a little surprised, because the sound and gurgling Gala was a little similar to Riko some time ago. It's just that Gala's carrier is calmer and more mature than Riko's. Obviously, because Gala is a big sister.

Mr. Ratno, Ms. Sari and Gala returned to the living room to chat. While Gendhis, he was still busy tidying up and cleaning the dining table.

With determination and conviction, Gala finally expressed her intentions as Gendhis asked for a while before he got out of the car.

"Father, Mother, thank you very much for the fast open dish. And next, I will convey the meaning of my arrival here" Gala said seriously.

Mr. Ratno and Ms. Sari also became curious about what Gala was going to say.

"The purpose of my arrival here first is to bring Gendhis home as well as all in touch with the Father and Mother of the family. Second, by saying Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim.I asked permission from Father and Mother to approve me applying and make Gendhis as my future wife." gala said confidently without the slightest look of hesitation from her face.

Mr. Ratno and Ms. Sari were equally surprised to hear Gala's words. Happy but also confused what to answer. In addition, Riko's application some time ago also did not get an answer from Gendhis. Mr. Ratno did not get the heart if a man as good and perfect as Gala had to get rejection from his daughter.

"Eeemmm.. Look, Mr. Lecturer.. uh. I mean, Nak Gala. as we know the condition of our daughter since the incident a few months ago did indeed make it worse. We as parents have also tried to make our daughter soon find her happiness. But as we know, we always fail. He never tried to open his heart. And now... Nak Gala came here with a very good intention, we also welcome with good intentions Nak Gala. But once again, the decision is in the hands of Gendhis completely. Let him make his own life choices." replied Mr. Ratno.

"Alhamdulillah..means the parents of Gendhis bless." Gala said in her heart. If it was Gendhis business, Gala could already be completely convinced because this was his request just a moment ago.

Ahirnya Bu Sari also called her daughter to the living room and answered the question Gala asked. Gendhis sat among them, then shortly afterwards Mr. Ratno asked his daughter about the intention of Gala's arrival.

"Gendhis... Same mom wants to ask. Please answer according to what is in your heart. The arrival of Nak Gala here is with the noble purpose of asking you to be his wife. The decision is in your hands, Nduk. Are you willing to accept a proposal from Nak Gala?" ask Mr. Ratno worriedly.

Genphis was still silently bowed. Everyone in the living room looked forward to Gendhis reply with a pounding heart. Especially Mr. Ratno. His greatest wish at this time was to see Gendhis marry the best man he loved. Moreover, the man was Gala, the person who had been expected by Mr. Ratno to be a companion for Gendhis life.

Moments later, Gendhis finally spoke up, "Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim."

"Alhamdulillah.." All who were there simultaneously gave thanks, as if unable to hide their happiness.

"Well, if Gendhis is willing and Mr. Mother approves, God willing if there are no obstacles. I will come here with my parents to propose to Gendhis officially." said Gala was no less happy.

"Well, Nak Gala, we are waiting for his arrival." said Mr. Ratno.

"Well then, I'll excuse you because it's late. Once again thank you very much Father and also Mother" said Gala as she rose from her seat to shake hands with Mr. Ratno.

"It is precisely we who say thank you to Nak, Gala" said Ms. Sari.

"I'm sorry, sir... Ma'am... Assalamu'alaikum." Gala kissed Mr. Ratno's hand and walked out of the house.

"Waalaikumsalam.be careful on the road, son.." Bu Sari's message.

Gendhis, Mr. Ratno and Bu Sari deliver Gala to the terrace of the house. The latest white color toyota camry car then went away from leaving the house. While in the heart of Gendhis was still unmoved,

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gala. For now I cannot completely erase the past from my life, but as far as I can. I will learn and try to love you, like you who always wait for my love..." gendhis said in his heart.
