It has been a week since the last meeting, Alizha paced back and forth looking for a job and no company would ever accept her. Many companies do not need a new workforce. But after that he continued to try again and again not despair just like that, he looked for job vacancies in several companies using his favorite matic motorcycle.
After putting application files in several companies. Finally Alizha was called to interview at one of the largest companies in Surabaya. After the interview, it turns out Alizha has been accepted and can start working tomorrow. Alizha's heart was very happy, even he was unceasingly chanting as much as possible.
Then Alizha decided to stop by the restaurant to fill her stomach which had been requested in the contents, it feels now the worms in there have been demos asked in the contents of the food.
It did not take long finally Alizha found a simple restaurant on the side of the road. Alizha parked her bike in the parking lot. Then he went inside and sat down by the window. Because there is a crowded street atmosphere and also the view of the park that is served by the restaurant.
"What do you want to order?" said the waiter while handing out the order book.
"Em, I want fried rice just like iced tea," said Alizha, pointing to the menu available in the order book.
3 Minutes later, Alizha's order was placed before her eyes. Alizha who was so hungry because from this morning only ate a piece of toast, immediately Alizha ate her food until it ran out.
After being at the restaurant, Alizha went to look for a mosque to perform the Ashar prayer ibdah because it was soon time to show at 14:30 pm. Arriving there he took ablution and used his face which is always taken everywhere when traveling so that later prayer time is not rushed to borrow the mosque/mushola mosque. How not, preamble in the mosque/mushola is usually provided limited.
Adhan was now starting to sound so melodious that Alizha who listened to him in the mosque felt complacent.
'God, how sweet is the voice of this Adhan, ' praise Alizha in heart.
Prayers are also carried out in jama'ah with solemnity. After the prayer, Alizha came out and when she put the shoes on her feet, suddenly a wallet fell right under her feet. Alizha who realized it immediately ran to the owner of the wallet. When he saw that there was only one man passing in front of him earlier.
"The bags are falling" cried Alizha as she ran after the man.
"Mas, wait for Mas."
"This is where the wallet fell."
"MAS" cried Alizha once more.
The man who realized his wallet was not there, finally turned to the source of the voice. "Ah yes Mbak, sorry yes troublesome," he said while taking the wallet that was presented by Alizha.
"Yes no papa kok mas," replied Alizha as she turned to take her goods that were immediately left behind while chasing the man.
"Sorry," said the man as he turned his shoulders and Alizha turned back.
"Alizha?" said the man.
"Yes?" sahut Alizha's.
"I'm Afif, " said Afif
"Mas Afif? I almost didn't recognize Mas" replied Alizha.
"That's okay, thank you" he said.
"Together with Afif" replied Alizha.

At 18:00 Alizha was at her house and she was helping her mother in the kitchen.
"Zha, enter the ketchup directly," Mother said.
"OKs. If this salt is enough, isn't it Bun?"
"Yes, I guess," answered Mother who is still busy cutting vegetables.
"A lot of Bun, what's it for?" alizha asked in surprise because her mother was now cooking a lot of dishes, which could not be spent only with her family.
"It was eaten."
"Ihh Mother."
"There will be important guests here. He said he was here ba'da isya'," said Mother.
"Important guest? Who?" ask Alizha kepo.
"You've been to kepo mulu. Wait a minute and see for yourself," replied the Mother with a smile looking at her daughter.
After a long time in the kitchen, it was finally finished. The food was on the dining table neatly. Not to forget Alizha helped her Mother prepare it.
"Wah-wah will eat big, said Adib who suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Always when it comes to food he ahead does not want to miss.
"Abang, gabby tau. Here's food for guests later," prevent Alizha while denying Adib's hand who will be ready to take a piece of cake on the plate.
"Tell me Mother huh?!" threaten Alizha with a slanted smile.
"Eh selow dong deck, relax, gausah in aduin dong hehe," said Adib finally gave up.
Alizha who saw Adib's expression was frightened, laughing out loud because of the funny expression that Adib presented like a boy was swinging.
"What sane man, you know who dong is sane?" adib said because he did not accept being laughed at by his sister.
The voice of the Adhan is now heard, and the time to perform the prayer isya'.
"Yai. Adhan tuh Bang, yuk prayer."
Ahead for 30 minutes after praying Isya' sound knocking door from outside. Alizha's family had prepared to receive guests in the living room that even Alizha did not know who her guests were and she only followed the orders of her parents.
When the door knob was opened by Nabhan's father, Alizha was shocked at who the guest was. Alizha's heart was pounding uncontrollably when she saw him, I don't know what is happening to Alizha now. He was trying to neutralize the taste now.
'O Allah, what is the matter with the Afif family? Why did the servant become nervous like this.' Inner Alizha.
The Afif family headed to the dining room. Afif came with Papa, Mama and of course with Omanya too. They sat in their seats to prepare for food.
"Let's mango dipun dhahar," said Grandma.
"Yes ma'am thank you, so get rid of gini," replied Mama Qila.
"Okayak same who is Qil, let's eat cold food hunt," said Mother Namira.
While Afif and Adib are busy chatting. But Afif's gaze was unceasingly staring at Alizha who was preparing food.
"Let's eat this cold, '" Grandpa said.
After dinner was over, they all moved in the middle room. Alizha is sitting in the middle of her parents. I don't know what to talk about, Alizha still doesn't understand so far.
After talking a little, then Papa Aryo opened his voice so that it made the atmosphere a little quiet.
"Just right away, my arrival and my family came here that we want to propose Pak Nabhan's daughter Alizha Nur Khairiyah to be paired with our son named Muhammad Afif Ahwal Said," said Papa Aryo.
"Although previously accepted, but we and our family want to hear the words of your own daughter. Will you be my wife and complete half my religion and be my companion?" said Afif a little nervous on Alizha.
"How's son?" ask Nabhan's father to his daughter.
Alizha who was given a question turned to her mother as if giving a code. And answered a nod by her mother. "I-yes I want to accept," said Alizha nervous because he was surprised if the arrival of the Afif family wanted to preach it today. But Alizha had previously agreed to it, so now she accepted it. Although little heart Alizha hurt, he still tried to toughen up for the happiness of his family and also himself.
"Alhamdulillah," said they were compact in the middle of the room.
"How about the wedding plans? What if the wedding takes place in 2 weeks?" papa Aryo said.
"I'm sorry before, wasn't it too soon? I think it's too soon. What about the preparation later?" Alizha spoke up.
"Isn't faster better?" ask Oma to Alizha.
"Then Alizha take good care of it" said Alizha.
"Well, how about another month? Let Alizha prepare her mentally for it. Maybe for him this is very rushed," said Afif defended Alizha.
"Yes, Mr. Aryo, if 2 more weeks is too grusa grusu will be afraid of falling apart" said Nabhan's father.
"Well then the wedding is in one month. And for the theme of the wedding and so leave it to Afif and Nak Alizha, because this is their event, both of them" said Papa Aryo.
Both families looked happy on their faces. Except for Alizha and Afif who are still in doubt about their own marriage.
After talking, the Afif family finally decided to go home. When he was about to get in the car, Afif went back to Alizha who was standing at the door of his house.
"May I ask for your mobile number, emm to call at any time I need you to prepare for the wedding?" afif said smoothly to Alizha while thrusting her cellphone in front of Alizha.
Alizha also received the phone offered by filling in the number for Afif. "This, I have given it a name" said Alizha while returning the phone belonging to Afif.
"Thank you."
"Either. Careful."
Afif smiled at Alizha's words. Then get in his car. Afif's family car has left Alizha's yard.
