Lisna didn't really leave Fauzi. He still chose to hold on for a little while longer. At least he wanted to wait for the right time to be able to reveal all the uneg in his heart that he kept during the seven years of marriage. Yeah, he thinks at least Fauzi should know about his true heart.
This afternoon Lisna came home from the office not directly home. He stopped by the fancy restaurant where Fauzi proposed to him seven years ago.
A month before Fauzi proposed to Lisna.
That day, Lisna had just returned home after an interview at PT Jati's central company. Lisna accidentally hit Fauzi's motorbike which brake suddenly in front of her.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it." Lisna panicked.
"It's okay mbak. I was wrong. There was a cat through that's why I caught it all of a sudden." Answer Fauzi kindly.
"But, you're okay, right?" Lisna asked still panicked.
"No. Just relax."
Fauzi glanced and stared at the beautiful face of Lisna making her interested and fell in love. Especially at that time Fauzi was trying to move on from Wulan who was married to her parents' choice.
"I'm Fauzi."
Lisna hesitated to welcome Fauzi's hand. But, seeing Fauzi smiling kindly at her, Lisna finally welcomed Fauzi's hand.
"I'm Lisna."
Their first meeting continued. Fauzi invites Lisna to dinner when Lisna gets home from work. At that time Lisna was only accepted to work and was assigned as an employee of the administrative department at PT Jati branch office.
Fauzi was not working at the time. But she tells Lisna that she is trying to find a job.
"Mas Fauzi would like to apply for a job where, um?" Ask Lisna.
"Yes don't know yet, Lis. Yesterday's been applying at the company a lot but rejected all."
They're familiar, and this is the fourth meeting. Fauzi invited Lisna to eat at a fancy restaurant.
"If I work as an online motorcycle taxi driver, are you ashamed?" Ask Fauzi.
"Why ashamed, my. What matters is that the work is halal. So his salary is also a blessing."
Fauzi can really make Lisna his wife. Because of Lisna's simplicity, her attention and also in the eyes of Fauzi Lisna is a woman who is patient, loving and motherly.
"Lissna. I know this is too soon. But, I think I've found the right woman. So, will you marry me!"
Fauzi knelt before Lisna, she just knelt down while gently holding Lisna's fingers.
Lisna, who was hungry for affection, immediately accepted Fauzi's proposal, but only knew Fauzi for less than a month.
"Mas Fauzi seriously wants to marry a woman like me?"
"I'm sure Lisna. I won't care about your past. All I need, let's build from the beginning our future and our children's children's later."
Lisna glassy. He was happy and immediately nodded in agreement to accept Fauzi's proposal. At the same time the waiter came to bring a bouquet of red roses and a ring box.
Fauzi handed Lisna the bouquet of roses, then put the ring on Lisna's ring finger. Then they held hands tightly.
"May I kiss you, Lisna?" Ask Fauzi.
"I'm sorry, mas. But, I haven't allowed Mas Fauzi to kiss me before Mas Fauzi can justify me." Lisna answered feeling guilty.
But he had just tried to wear the hijab and close the aura. So, he wanted to learn to be an Istiqomah in his hijra.

"Ma, this is Lisna my future wife."
Fatimah just stared at Lisna from toe to head. From the beginning he was not fond of Lisna. Moreover, Fauzi's ex-girlfriend was previously a rich and classy woman. But, because Fauzi said he loved Lisna, he would not want Fatimah to welcome Lisna with kindness.
"Hello Lisna's. You're so pretty, son." Fatimah hugged Lisna.
"No, ma. I'm just plain." Answer Lisna.
At that moment, Word came out of his room. His eyes were breaking and staring at Lisna's presence in his house.
"Liss!" Seru Firman's.
"The word!" Excited Lisna who was no less surprised because she saw the Word in the house of her future husband.
"Do you know each other?" Tanya Fauzi was suspicious.
"Yes, mas. Said a co-worker when I was still working in the mini market." Lisna.
"Really, Fir?" Fatimah asked who was also suspicious.
"Yes, ma. A year ago we were the same cashier in the same mini market." Answer the Word firmly to break the suspicions of his mother and brother.
"It's good that you know each other. So, can quickly familiarize her as a sister-in-law. Yes, it's baby.." Fauzi embraced the uncomfortable-looking Lisna.
"Yes, don't stand here. It's good we're eating together." Take Fatimah.
He pulled Lisna's hand, embracing her to be taken to the dining table.
"Well, my mom cooked a lot of food. Mom's prospective mother would love." Her chattering.
Lisna smiled happily. She felt appreciated and loved in the family of her future husband. It made Lisna promise herself to repay the kindness of this person with kindness as well.
"Would you like me to get this?" Tanya Fatimah seemed enthusiastic about putting various foods on the plate for Lisna.
"Ma, that's too much. Lisna couldn't spend it all." Said Fauzi who was sitting next to Lisna.
"Yes already, then your daughter-in-law ate this first huh. Later if not full can increase as much."
"Thank you aunt.."
"Don't, don't call aunty. Call mama." Fatimah.
"Thank you mama." Lisna repeated with a happy smile.
Fauzi was very happy, because his mother was also willing to accept Lisna and treat Lisna well as when her mother used to treat Wulan well.
They all ate together while chatting lightly around the wedding planning.
However, in the midst of this joyous conversation. There is a Word that is disappointed. He who first loved Lisna, chose to hold her love since she began to be accepted in a big company. The plan is that Firman will immediately propose to Lisna when the money has been collected.
But his wish is only a memory. Because it turns out that Fauzi found Lisna and proposed to Lisna first. Now the woman he loves will soon become his sister-in-law.
Forever this love will be reserved for me, Lisna. Be happy. I wish you happiness with Mas Fauzi.
Silent silence Lisna stole a glance to observe the sad face of the Word. Actually, Lisna knew that the Word liked her. Lisna also had time to be amazed at the personal sister-in-law's candidate. But, because the Word never showed him the slightest taste of joy, making Lisna think that the Word is not really sincere to like it.
It took a long time for Lisna to forget the Word. But, because the Word moved to work first, Lisna finally could release her joy for the Word. Then, not long after came Fauzi who boldly proposed to him.
You are not my destiny, Word. I pray that you will soon be met with the best soul mate for you according to God.
