With sparkling eyes Dimas asked the Star a question
"Well, at what age do you want to get married?"
The star who had lowered his gaze tried to raise his head to look at the person who asked him
"I don't have the ideal age to get married. Because I think getting married is all that is needed is readiness, not the number of ages" replied the Star then lowered her head.
Hearing the Star's reply made Dimas confident that this ta'aruf would end up in the underwriting.
Dimas smiled and was about to ask again, but his mother preceded him
"If you may know, you are currently only in college or can you work?" Ask Miss Ririn
The star looked at Ms. Ririn with her sweet smile "I'm just in college, you don't allow me to work"
"That means all your tuition fees are borne by your brother?" Go ahead, Miss Ririn
"Thank God I got a scholarship" replied Bintang gently.
Dimas held the hand of his mother who was about to ask questions to the stars again.
Ms. Ririn felt astonished why Dimas did not allow her to ask back.
Mr. Hendra then took over and asked Bintang or Mr. Ahmad to give a question to Dimas if there is still something to know.
Mr. Ahmad settled Bintang and spoke with his eye contact, whether or not the Bintang wanted to ask Dimas.
The stars remained silent.
Ahmad began to talk and ask Dimas
"I not only want to find my daughter a husband, but also a priest who will lead her in world and religious affairs. I just want to ask, does Nak Dimas always pray 5 times?"
The basic question that Mr. Ahmad gave immediately made Dimas and his family silent and just stared at each other.
Because in their families, none of them pray every day.
Because he did not want his son to be embarrassed because he was caught never praying, Mr. Hendra immediately answered him
"Alhamdulillah sir, prayer is our duty as a Muslim. And Dimas never left her"
Dimas only looked down because his papa's answer was not about him at all. Likewise with Miss Ririn and Hani, they were surprised and rounded their eyes staring in wonder at Mr. Hendra.
Hani immediately approached her face to Miss Ririn "Wah wah... What happened to papa ma? Do not pray every day, Friday prayers are rare. Yes, ma..." Whisperer Hani
"Mom... Quiet down!"
Bu Ririn immediately pinched her so that Hani could be silent, because if Ahmad and Bintang heard her they would definitely be embarrassed.
Hani stroked his arm that was pinched by his mama, he didn't even think it was the same mama who could be compact to lie.
The star this time will also ask Dimas. The star raised its face and looked at Dimas
"I want to know what you think about polygamy?" He asked and then returned his eyes.
Dimas smiled even though only briefly their eyes could contact each other.
"I personally disagree about polygamy, because there will be no justice between two wives sharing a husband. I strongly reject polygamy" Dimas replied firmly
Mr. Ahmad smiled with relief at Dimas's reply.
The principle that Dimas said is exactly the same as his principle.
"If with 1 woman only a man can not keep his feelings. How will he keep 2 hearts? May you stick to your stance and principles son" said Mr Ahmad
That meeting that wasn't long enough felt like years for Hani.
He was so bored sitting there listening.
Hani's eyes swept through all corners of the room and he did not find 1 single frame of the three photos.
There are only photos of Ahmad and Bintang.
Although curious, Hani chose to be quiet.
"Ma... Come home" whispered Hani in her mama's ear.
Hani was like a little boy whining about to go home to his mama.
Shortly the meeting was over.
Dimas and Bintang may meet or can go on a road together but on condition that it should not be alone, there must be a companion from one of them.
After that Dimas and his family also say goodbye to go home.
Dimas and Hendra shook hands with Ahmad, and Bintang also extended his hand to shake hands with Ririn's mother.
But when he was about to shake hands with Hani, Hani was about to refuse but Dimas looked at him firmly.
Hani rolled his eyeballs and let out his breath violently and then received a helping hand from the Star.
Mr. Ahmad and Bintang drove them home to the terrace of the house.
Dimas was reluctant to go home because his eyes still wanted to look at a sholeha woman who he hoped could be his wife later.
Ms. Ririn pulled her hand so that Dimas would get into the car.
