Forced In Honey
13 Agree to Ta'aruf

While patting the hand of the Star in his grasp, Mr. Ahmad began to tell the Star about the intent of the arrival of his current guests.

"They came because they wanted to propose to you, son" said Mr. Ahmad

The star was surprised and rounded his eyes.

The instant his heart skipped a beat, he immediately felt the same panic, fear and confusion.

This is indeed not the first time Bintang felt, there have been several young men who came home to propose it but have not accepted it because the age of the Star is too young.

Abah put his hand on the shoulder of the Star and gently rubbed it.

"Don't panic, you haven't got it yet"

The star that had originally looked down immediately twisted its cornea looked at the pair of eyes that belonged to his brother.

"Yet? Does that mean you'll still accept it?"

Abah smiled and clapped the stars

"You don't know, the decision is in your own hands. It used to be my brother who decided because your age is still lacking. Now you are an adult, and this is about your future life. Abah can't just accept people's proposals without questioning how you're going to make your decision"

The star lowered its head and fell silent.

He didn't know what to do and answer.

"What should the stars do?"

"They just want to convey their intentions, and the decision is in your hands. You want to or don't share Dimas's nak?"

Mr. Ahmad finally invited Bintang to come out and meet the person who proposed to him.

Although the star had come out to give drinks, but Bintang did not glance in the direction of the three guests.

Ahmad asked the Bintang to sit next to him.

Dimas could not turn his eyes away and continued to look at the beautiful angel in front of him.

Now it's ustadz Hafid's turn to ask the Star "Do you want to go through ta'aruf with Dimas?"

With his mixed feelings, Bintang lowered his head by playing his fingers.

"If you agree, I want to live this ta'aruf"

Answer the Star gently.

The soft sound of the Star darted melodiously in Dimas' ear.

His eyes that glared with anxious hope now immediately sparkled to hear the reply of the Star.

"All right, now it's clear. This meeting produced good results. In shay'a Allah tomorrow we will come again with a CV from Dimas to nak Bintang" said ustadz Hafid

The meeting was finally over.

Mr. Hendra, ustadz Hafid and Dimas said goodbye to go home.

They shook hands with Ahmad while the Bintang remained lowered behind his brother's body.

His brother drove Dimas back to the front porch, while the Star sat back and began to think with his own answer earlier.

After Dimas returned, Ahmad returned.

Looking at the restless face of the Star he sat beside her.

"What's up, son?"

"Ga tau abah. Fidgety star"

With the hand of the Star holding the hand of the Star

"Don't be too anxious and anxious, direct everything to God. Ask for directions from Him. Doing the process of ta'aruf does not mean you have to get married, depending on how the future. Do you have a match or vice versa"

The star rests its head on his shoulders.

He closed his eyes and tried to eliminate his anxiety in his brother's arms.

"His way, so?" Ask Ahmad

The star raised its head and shook its head.

"Ga be, it's noon. Responsibility, be willing to dhuhur again"

"Continue now what are you doing?"

"Ga there is. Watch TV while waiting for Adzan"

"Yes, go to the room first. Take a break"

Although both of his eyes looked solemnly at the TV, but his mind floated somewhere.

Inevitably he had to accept this ta'aruf invitation, because if he remembered about the neighbor's talk 2 years ago.

Never accidentally Bintang heard some mother mother's bad talk about her brother.

They said that Mr. Ahmad only pretended to be religious, too choose to find a son-in-law.

And the most scratched in his heart when one of them said "Sok sok an pilah choose a ghost, like his most perfect son. Though ordinary, many kol girls are more beautiful than Bintang but his parents are not kek pak Ahmad that"

That sentence was still very clearly remembered in the minds of the Stars.

The star is worried that his brother will hear that again if the proposal this time is still rejected.

Because his mind was constantly rummaging everywhere, the Star turned off his TV and went to his room.

He took ablution, put on his face and took his Qur'an from the table.

He tried to clear his mind by reciting the holy verse of the Quran.

Until the dhuhur adhan in kumandangan immediately he stood up to perform the dhuhur prayer.

On his last bow, the Star prostrated for quite a long time.

He prayed in his prostration asking that God would always accompany him in all the decisions he made.

After the greeting, the Star continued with recitation only after that he raised his hand and returned to prayer.

He asked for guidance on the ta'aruf he was going to live.

"O Allah, O Lord, if the present decree of the servant is true, do not make it difficult for you. And if this is not the best for the servant, please immediately give the servant a hint. Servant does not want if the servant to put a sense if you finally do not allow to be together..."

Say the Star at the end of his prayer before he sweeps his face with both hands.

The star then broke down his body that was still wearing face on his prayer mat.

He stared at the ceiling of his room and slowly began to close his eyes and quickly the stars slept soundly.

The Dimas house

Dimas and his papa had just arrived home, having previously taken ustadz Hafid home first because there was business.

Dimas and his papa went into the house and were greeted by his mama who was sitting with a grim face on the sofa.

Dimas and his papa looked at each other and like him they spoke telepathically.

Mr. Hendra approached Ririn's mother and sat down beside her, while Dimas continued to walk towards his room.

"Dimaz... Here!" Panggi bu Ririn with flat.

Dimas stopped his steps and turned to face his mother.

His papa blinked, gesturing Dimas to get closer.

"What's wrong" asked Dimas

"Sit here" Ririn's mom patted the sofa next to her for Dimas to sit there.

Dimas opened his suit and sat down beside his mother.

"Are you angry with Mama?"

Ririn asked as she looked at Dimas' face

Opening his watch Dimas replied "No"

"You're not angry why you're being cold to your mom"

"I'm not angry with my mom, I just choose to be quiet because my wishes are not the way with your mother's wishes"

Miss Ririn held Dimas' hand while patting him.

"My mom is sorry that she didn't agree with your decision"

Dimas who had been looking the other way, now his eyeballs began to glance towards his mother.

"Yes, my mom initially disagreed. But now my mom agrees with your decision"

Dimas's ears instantly bloomed with his shining eyes.

He was surprised because his mother who strongly disagreed had now changed.
