"Someone wants to take you to ta'arruf."
Silvi was surprised to hear Ali's words, he was about to ask again but the elevator door opened when he was on the floor he was on, inevitably the woman had to come out immediately.
"It turns out our room is on the same floor."
Silvi turned around when she heard the baritone voice she had just heard in the elevator earlier.
"Sister Ali on this floor too?" ask the woman.
Ali nodded with a smile then passed by Silvi. "It seems like a soul mate is not going anywhere," he said as he walked, but it can still be heard by the woman.
"What does Kak Ali mean? And regarding that one, who would want to ta'arruf with me?" Silvi walked behind Ali following him until the man stopped.
"Do you want to go in my room too?" tanya Ali, made the newly conscious Silvi instantly take a few steps back.
"Sorry, Brother. I was just curious about what you said earlier," Silvi replied bowed in embarrassment.
Ali smiled faintly and began to speak again. "I want to take you to Ta'arruf, do you want to?" ask her with a face that is now turning serious.
"What's? Brother Ali?" ask Silvi again.
"Yes, I, do you want to live ta'arruf with me?" ask Ali.
Silvi shook her head, the instant disbelief made her unable to respond to the words of the man before her.
"I go in first, it's not good to talk together like this for a long time, you can think about it first, I'm looking forward to your answer in the activity tomorrow," said Ali then pamit entered his room.
While Silvi was still quietly standing in place, the two women's hands slowly raised and pinched her own cheeks.
"Aww, pain turns out, means this is not a dream." Silvi rubbed his cheeks slowly and then entered the room that was right next to Ali's room.

The next day, all representatives of the pesantren in West Indonesia gathered in a fairly large building. The atmosphere there is so crowded and quiet because many scholars who attended the activity. The seat between the male and female is in a separate place, where the male is on the right, and the female is on the left.
During the activity, Ali and Silvi were never seen with each other. The woman wanted to give her answer. Until the event ended, Silvi decided to go straight back to the hotel.
He stared at Ali's room which was still closed without any sound while giving a rough breath..
"Said he was waiting for my answer, but he wasn't even visible at all. Yes, I will go home first, the soul mate will not go where," said Silvi then entered her room.
A while later, Silvi came out of her room while pulling the suitcase. For a moment he stopped and looked back at Ali's room. The woman slipped a piece of paper under Ali's door and left immediately.
After 30 minutes passed after Silvi's departure, Ali had just stepped out of the elevator and walked towards her room. For a moment he gazed into the room that he thought was Silvi's room, then walked back into his room. However, his gaze was now fixed on the piece of paper tucked under the door.
The paper was picked up and read slowly, unconsciously a smile began to appear on the handsome face of the man.
To Brother Ali
Sorry, I gave you an answer through this writing, I have to go home immediately and I can't find your whereabouts since.
Bismilbornrahmanirrahim's... If Big Brother is serious with Big Brother's intentions, then I accept it. It's just that I don't want to go through a long period of taarruf, not because of the marriage banquet, I'm just afraid of being disappointed a second time.
After reading a message from Silvi, Ali immediately picked up his phone and contacted Boy.
"Hello, assalamu 'alaikum, Boy."
"Please give me the home address of both Silvi's parents."

Elsewhere, a couple is enjoying their company. Khaira sat on the bed leaning against the head of the bed, and Ali was laying his head on the lap of the wife.
"What's up, brother?" ask Khaira who saw the husband just called in a very short time.
"I was confused by that one man, there was no wind, there was no rain, suddenly asked Silvi's parents' home address" Boy replied.
"Sir Ali means that?" khaira asked to confirm and answered a nod of the head by Boy.
"Is it possible that Kak Ali wants to propose to Silvi?" guess Khaira.
Boy looked at the wife's face with a frown. "There's no way I think Ali knew how aggressively Silvi was after me at the time."
"Why indeed? If love is already enthroned, then no matter who he is, the heart will feel comfortable and happy. After all, Silvi has changed, she is good and no longer harbors hatred for us" Khaira said, gently rubbing her husband's head.
"You're right, honey. May goodness always accompany their good intentions, if indeed what you think is true." Boy now changed his position facing Khaira's stomach which began to bulge.
"Assalamu 'alaikum my son, how are you? Healthy always in well, do not make your mother have trouble with strange cravings, pity her, pity also this father who must fulfill it," said Boy while rubbing Khaira's stomach gently, and so on, making Khaira smile at him.
"Oh yes, dear. If you're doing better, I'd like to take you on a honeymoon, how?"
"Honeymoon? Where's where?"
"Where do you want to go? God will fill me."
"Not far away. Hmmm, I want to go to the beach, but just the two of us there, and go with your big motor."
Boy who heard the request of his wife immediately rose from his sleep and looked at the pregnant woman.
"Darling, you're pregnant again, the danger of riding a motorcycle."
"We wait until my gestational age is strong, brother, I want to feel alone together with the former boy of the motorcycle gang."
"But, Honey ...."
"Please, well, brother," pinta Khaira while holding the husband's hand and showing his sweetest smile, not forgetting the blink of an eye that makes Boy immediately smile with anxiety.
"Alright, Honey. I'm gonna show you how a former motorcycle gang kid hugged his pregnant wife."

It was getting dark, Silvi had just returned from the pesantren after taking care of some things. The woman walked into the house because she was so tired.
"Assalamu 'alaikum, Father, Mother, Silvi pu- ...." Silvi's voice was immediately stuck in her throat as the female netra caught the figure of the man she had just met last night in front of the hotel room now in front of her, with his father and mother there.
"Wa'alaikim greetings, you happen to have come, come here, son." The father immediately pulled Silvi's hand to sit with them.
"You know this guy, don't you?" asked the father and only answered a nod by Silvi.
"Well, so this Ali boy came to propose to you as his wife, what do you think?" ask the father.
Silvi looked at Ali with a confused look. "Sorry, Brother. Didn't you want to invite me to ta'arruf, why did you suddenly come to propose?"
"Aren't you the one who said you didn't want to go through the old ta'arruf? I've come here to prove that I'm serious about you, and I don't want to disappoint you for anything that's not certain."
