Chapters 18. Proposal from the convert

"Get in" said Zahara's mother to see a group of important people now standing in the yard of the house.

Zahara and Salma also invited all the guests who came to sit in the old house. Although confused when he saw the arrival of Zein who brought important members in the village, Zahara still chose to remain silent and serve tea with dry bread that he had arranged in the dish earlier.

"Please drink" Zahara's mother again invited when Zahara was ready to serve and returned to the back with a tray in his hand.

"Zein why bring important people all over here huh? " Task Salma to Zahara.

"I don't know Sal either" replied Zahara who also did not know anything.

Zahara's mother sat with Salma's mother in the simple guest room. Zahara and Salma just sat in the back without knowing what they were reading.

"Zahara, Salma" Tegur Salma's mother who had been behind them for some time

"Yes, why? " Say them at the same time

"Follow ahead for a minute" Invite Salma's mother

Zahara and Salma immediately got up from his seat without question and sat side by side among the crowd. Now all eyes are on them. While these two girls were just looking at each other confused by this awkward situation.

One of the elders there finally began to raise their voices after the arrival of Zahara and Salma

"My children, Adam who used to live in heaven with beauty and pleasure, are not as good as any place but there. But, still Adam felt less and lonely. Thus, because of that sense God presents air in his life, like Adam and Eve were created in pairs, which are, grandfather came here with our son Lukman and Zein who are now far from family relatives to be guardians for them to propose our children Zahara and Salma" said the grandfather steadily and gently.

Spontaneous Zahara and Salma stared at each other, shocked at the rocketing explanation of the grandfather in front of them.

"Our son Zein intends to propose to Zahara to serve as the last shelter" said the grandfather with a pause

Zahara immediately raised his head which had been looking down at Zein who was also bowed listening to the strands of words from the grandfather. Zahara's heart rate is racing. When his eyes saw the white-fisted man coming to ask for him. This wait is something that Zahara never thought of. Recalling how he had once been so tormented held back his own feelings for Zein. Tears of the day slowly came out of his eyes.

"And our son Lukman who also wants to make Salma the last place of his port" said the grandfather

Different things with Zahara who seems to be drunk in love. Salma was still confused by the current situation, as she remembered, he never spoke with Lukman at all or just smiled when passing by while on the road and he was surprised by the arrival of Lukman who suddenly proposed to him. This situation made him even more confused and tried to remember whether there was anything he missed.

"How's Zahara... Salma?! " Tanya the grandfather again resuscitated those who were still drifting in daydreams.

"Hows it? Salmas... The zahara? " Task Salma's father alternately questioning them to give an answer

Salma who is powerless with confusion langung tried to answer the question grandfather with a polite strand of words "Sorry before sir/grandfather, Salma has not been familiar with Lukman. It would be better if Salma tried to get to know Lukman more closely again and pray istikharah before answering the question grandfather who will certainly make us be bound to a relationship called marriage" Salma said politely.

All who heard Salma's explanation immediately bowed down to the sign of agreeing and understanding what he meant. Their eyes were now upon Zahara sitting beside Salma. This is the umpteenth time Zahara was proposed by various good men of his origin. Seeing Zahara who continued to reject the man. They all quickly concluded for sure this time Zahara also would not think long to reject the proposal of a man whose origins are not yet clear even just converted to Islam.

"Don't Zahara want an Istikharah like Salma? " Task my grandfather to Zahara

Zahara who was asked looked at the grandfather with a friendly smile and looked around and looked at his mother who now also thought the same as the people in the living room.

"No need to wait for my answer again sir" said Zahara with a smile and greeted by a breath of signs correcting the contents of their minds is indeed true.

Zein who heard the words from Zahara spontaneously looked at the girl he loved was shocked.

"Bissmillahhirahmannirrahim, by Allah's permission I received a proposal from brother Zein to make me his companion" Zahara said in a firm and steady voice.

Suddenly everyone in the room was shocked not playing to hear the words of Zahara. Usually he is not easily conquered. Now he even received a proposal from the convert man without hesitation and without having to wait after praying istikharah again like the person who last proposed to him.

The startled mother Zahara immediately looked at him in disbelief "Son are you serious? "

Gently Zahara smiled at his mother and continued his words "Tempo the day before I rejected the proposal from the man yesterday, I had prayed istikharah and got an answer that led to brother Zein" Clearly Zahara and looked at her mother.

"Alhamdulillah" A voice of gratitude sailed into the room with a floating smile.

Finally, beautiful girls in this village do not need to refuse various applications from men anymore. Zahara's mother smiled very happily while embracing Zahara who was not far from her.

'Alhamdulillah o Allah' Inner mother Zahara is grateful now her daughter can decide to start a new life.

"Thank God for the answer from Nak Zahara to our son Zein. In that case, I was always the elder in that village to make a decision. That the good day for the wedding and the dowry will be discussed on the day when we get the answer son Salma. For Salma nak please do Istikharah prayer within three days or a week" explained my grandfather

"Regarding the talk of dowry according to our custom since long ago this is clearly only going to be discussed by the guardians with the men in the room that there is no woman in the room" Obviously my grandfather wanted to close the meeting.

All nodded in agreement from every strand of words that my grandfather spoke.
