"E... Forgive Pak Rudi's attitude, Ms. Nisa," said Mr. Arsyad to make Nisa jerked.
"No problem Mr. Arsyad, his name is also Children" said Rudi.
"Yes, He is indeed flippant, can not maintain the image at all." continued Mr. Arsyad.
"No problem, it will have a positive impact on our quiet son."
Hearing that Adnan was silent staring at Sakinah and immediately greeted by Sakinah who raised both eyebrows to make Adnan immediately avert his eyes. It made Sakinah chuckle and even more want to tease him if he had another chance.
"Are we starting to talk about their wedding date?" ask Rudi.
"Sure." said Mr. Arsyad.
While the parents discuss the date of Adnan and Sakinah's wedding and all the preparations to do. Adnan and Sakinah go to the terrace to talk in private.
Sakinah refrained from speaking first and waited for Adnan to open the conversation. But after waiting for a few minutes, Sakinah saw cold sweat and her fingers that could not stop moving like picking a piano. This made Sakinah unable to resist teasing him.
"Is Ustadz nervous?"
"Bragh!" Adnan gasped at Sakinah's question.
"What is Ustadz, where is Ustadz's ferocious attitude like when teaching me?"
Adnan was increasingly confused by what Sakinah said.
"Ustadz, Ustadz are really a lot of surprises. Ustadz was so fierce and decisive when teaching me, Ustadz juha never offended let alone expressed interest in me, But suddenly Ustadz proposed to me and after applying, he said, Now Ustadz is silent a thousand languages like I just proposed to Ustadz," said Sakinah chuckled.
"Sakinah stop!" emphatically Adnan who was so embarrassed and annoyed with what Sakinah said. But Sakinah still chuckles to make Adnan rise from his seat and approach Sakinah by standing in front of him.
"I said stop, this isn't funny!"
Sakinah was silent as their pair of eyes met. Seeing the unusual gaze of Sakinah, Adnan immediately turned his gaze and turned his back to Sakinah.
"In a story of Prophet Muhammad SAW mentioned that a Muslim who married means to have perfected the religion. The Prophet said that means:
“If a person is married, then he has perfected half his religion. Fear Allah on the other half."
"So besides your Papah's request, I also want to perfect half of my religion."
After saying that, Adnan went back in and sat down with his parents.
Sakinah threw her lips at Ustadz Adnan's words which she thought were just an excuse.
"Have you guys finished talking?" asked Mr. Arsyad as soon as he saw Adnan coming in.
"It's Sir."
Adnan smiled faintly and looked at his father.
"That's right, kid, your wedding will be on Friday, so be prepared."
"Bych! So in less than a week I'm getting married?" saut Sakinah was still standing not far from them.
"Yes, do you mind?" ask Mr. Arsyad.
"What Papah said, Precisely this is too long, Even tonight I am ready to marry Mr. Ustadz." as usual Sakinah smiled nenaik lower her eyebrows teasing her future husband.
Adnan immediately turned his gaze and shook his head. While Nisa was amazed by the attitude of the prospective daughter-in-law who would accompany her son.

Seeing Zayn who was so caring and earnestly wanted to know his life story, Devita finally began to tell what happened after Zayn went to the boarding school.
It was Devita who was so saddened by Zayn's passing. Received his friend's offer to attend a party that his friend held at a club's night. The intoxicating drink is certainly common in such a place that makes Devita can not refuse when her friend thrust the drink directly into her mouth.
"Again, Devita, this won't get you drunk" he said.
Inevitably Devita downed the drink, Seeing Devita who was willing to chug the drink he gave. Making the other friends laugh and go after Devita until she drinks a few glasses and gets her drunk. That's when a man offers to help Devita and deliver her home. Because Devita's friends knew the man. They let Devita be taken away by the man. But instead of taking Devita home, the man took her to a hotel instead.
"And there's no need for you to ask me again what that man did to me Zayn." weeping Devita recalled as she woke up in the morning and saw a man lying next to her clad in only one blanket with her.
"Because of that, you gave birth to her child?" asked Zayn who was so surprised and pity to hear it.
Devita cried as she nodded her head.
"Did the man who came in earlier do it?"
"Yes, "the answer is short.
"What did he say, Why did I see you throw him out? Shouldn't he be responsible for what he's done?"
"Yes, But when I asked for her responsibility, She refused to take responsibility because she was going to marry someone else, So if she comes now it's too late."
"It's never too late for Devita, everyone needs time to change, and everyone deserves a chance."
"really? Then do I still deserve to be given a chance to be with you?"
Zayn was stunned to hear what Devita asked.
