Joseph tried to contact Bilqis, but his call was not answered. Finally, she decided to send her apology message for breaking the promise to come to Bilqis' parents' house. He mentioned the reason why he did not come and just contacted him.
"O Allah, is this the answer to my istharah prayer?" Joseph wondered.
He looked at Asiah who was fast asleep. She put her daughter's head down with great affection. Joseph realized that Asiah must also be involved in finding his mother-to-be. Although his son was dear to Bilqis, he was much more affectionate to Zulaikha. He did not want to lose the bad girl.

Jonah warned Zulaikha. If Joseph and Asiah were already known as the people who were always nearby by Qorun. From the observation of secret cameras, Jonah several times captured the figure of Qorun. The thing he was afraid of was that this opponent was occupying one of the apartments in this building.
This place includes luxury apartments. There is a possibility that Qorun can rent one of them for some time only.
"I must find a place that Qorun cannot reach. Is there such a place, huh?" muttered Yunus.
Meanwhile, Zulaikha was sleeping soundly after Joseph had asked him to always be near Asiah. His mediocre brain thought that he would make a wife by Joseph. Joseph meant that Zulaicha would not go away from Asiah.

Joseph performed the prayer of istharah again tonight. He asked for everything to be made easy and smooth. Whatever the outcome will be the best thing for him as well as for Asiah.
When Joseph had just finished the evening prayer. There was an incoming message from Bilqis and Zulaikha almost simultaneously. Joseph opened the message from Bilqis first.
[Wa'alaikum. Sorry, Mister. I seemed to have fallen asleep last night. I understand why you didn't come home. Is Asiah okay now?]
Joseph opened a message from Zulaikha.
[Assalammualaikum, Om handsome my future imam. Pray for me in your every bow, yes! So that I could be the sholeha's wife who could accompany Om, all my life. She could be a good mother to Asiah. Don't forget, Mom! His prayer. Thank you for choosing me to always be around you. Greetings from your virgin girl.]
Joseph was astonished to read the message from Zulaikha. Then he massaged his temple which suddenly felt pain.
"This is a virgin, I think I misinterpreted what I said last night" murmured Joseph.

For the first time Zulaikha performed evening prayers. Just now he called Bintang and asked for prayers to ask a mate. He wanted to pray so that he could be a match with Joseph. After performing the tahajud prayer, he performed the hajat prayer. He asked the matchmaker to match Yuauf with himself, not with Bilqis.
Although the understanding of Zulaikha religion is still very little and requires a lot of learning. He knows that there is a destiny that can be changed by prayer. Tonight he prayed fervently, that Joseph might be his soul mate.

"Allah has made me the best for him. Likewise, he is the best for me" Bilqis said in his prayer.
Unanswered calls and messages from Joseph that had not been opened because he had slept last night. He was happy to know why he didn't come home. Though he had thought nothing last night.

Early in the morning, as usual, Joseph made breakfast. Asiah was already able to prepare her needs that she would bring to school.
"Dad, said the Twins I can come home and play in their house, as long as asked permission first the same father to Miss Eve. Is that true?" ask Asiah.
"Why? Asiah wants to play at the twins' house today?" Joseph asked back.
"So it's not fun in school if there are no Twins" Asiah replied.
"Have you not always been at home in school?" Joseph wondered why his daughter.
"Because now there is no Ms. Bilqis in school" Asiah replied.
"If Mrs Bilqis is the mother of Asiah, what will it be?" joseph asked to confirm Asiah's wish.
"If Mrs Bilqis is a connecting mother, it means she will stay with us?" asiah asked and got a nod of the head from Joseph.
"That means later Mama Zulaikha, can't be here anymore, huh? Asiah also very dear to Mama Zulaikha," said the little girl while putting on a sad face.
"Of course you can. Mama Zulaikha is free to come here and play with you later. Not going to change, I'm not going to forbid you from meeting and playing together" the father replied.
"Origin Asiah and Mama Zulaikha can always be together. Asiah does not want if Mama Zulaikha leaves and does not want to be with Asiah anymore because there is Bu Bilqis here," said the daughter only wayang Yusuf.
Joseph was so upset that he was afraid that Zulaicha would leave them because he was angry and disappointed in him. He must be able to make decisions for the future of his family.
