"Fine please sit down." Mr. Kiai's voice startled the two young men who were fighting over the same girl.
Zayn sat in front of Ustad Adnan and continued to stare at him sharply.
While Rudi and Nisa were talking about the intention of their arrival Those who did not want to bind Ning Faza to become his son-in-law who would soon finish his lecture.

"Then what about Ning Faza's wishes?" it was Saut Zayn who made everyone dumbfoundedly look at him.
"Zayn what are you saying." whispered Faraz.
"What do you mean Zayn, Faza is not a very devoted Son, He is very devoted to his parents and religious rules, He will not reject what we have determined." said Mr. Kiai.
"Basically, in matchmaking or matchmaking in Islam there is no prohibition in Islamic sharia. There is even in one of the narrations mentioned that Umar bin Khaththab radhiyallahu 'anhu once betrothed his daughter, Hafshah radhiyallahu 'anha, who had just become a widow to the Prophet Shallallahu alaihi wa sallam. So in this case, If the parent wants to match or choose a mate for his child and then the child accepts and feels suitable, of course this is a very good thing." Zayn paused his words.
As Abdullah bin Abbas RA said, The Prophet said:
"The widowed woman is more entitled to herself than her guardian and the virgin woman is asked permission from herself and her permission is silence." (HR Tirmidhi, Ahmad, Muslim) Isn't this what Mr Kiai taught me?"
"Yes that's right, but I don't think Faza would mind this matchmaking."
"Pak Kiai should ask him first before making a decision."
Mr. Kiai was silent to Zayn's words.
"Zayn, you've been meddling too much" whispered Faraz.
"Sir Kiai, Forgive my son for meddling too much, Then let us just go out and please continue the show, Assalamualaikum."
"Wa'alaikumsalam." everyone answered.
Faraz pulls Zayn out with him.
Everyone saw Zayn come out and disappear behind the door.
"Who would he dare to talk to Mr. Kiai like that?" ask Nisa.
"Please inconvenience Miss Nisa, she is indeed the most famous santri of all here." said Bu Nyai.
"Well, then how is Mr. Kiai's decision?" ask Rudi.
"What Zayn said is true, Let me ask Faza first, I'll call Faza first." Mr. Kiai sat down and went inside.
Mr. Kiai contacted the princess to ask her opinion.
Faza who considered every word of his Abinya was a command.
Without thinking anymore Faza accepted it.
"Whatever Abi thinks is good, Faza will accept."
