All the ways Emran had done to persuade his daughter not to keep asking for something difficult for Emran to fulfill.
But still Yasmine remained in her stance, wanting to meet with Annisa as soon as possible. Not successful with the persuasion offered by Emran.
After all the way Emran did, but Yasmine still did not obey him, eventually Emran relented, and promised to grant the princess' request only wayang.
Emran also promised the princess will bring the two together tomorrow when in the office.

Besides being beautiful, kind, and having an adult and motherly attitude. Annisa is a figure who is admired by many princesses in the boarding school run by her family.
After the welcoming event also a small thanksgiving that was addressed to Annisa was completed. Annisa headed to her private room.
Being in a room that has an area of 3x4 that Annisa feel comfortable and calm, especially close to both masters and two brothers make Annisa feel enough with the happiness.
tok tok tok tok
The sound of knocking on the door from behind Annisa's room.
"Lock is not in the key" Annisa answered by wearing her veil back.
Chequek.
Appearing the figure of Aisha, who is none other than her biological sister, the second child of Abi Ali and Ummi Fatimah.
"Nis hasn't slept yet" Sapa Aisha breezed her way over to Annisa.
"Not yet mba, Mba Ais himself why not sleep ?" ask Annisa later.
"You miss Nis" said Aisha. Annisa also took off the veil she was wearing, and smiled sweetly at her sister.
Hugging her only sister gently, Annisa felt very happy, being born in the middle of a family that so spoiled her with affection.
"Nis "call Aisha who is still in the arms of her sister
Hearing her name mentioned, Annisa unraveled her second hug "Yes mba ?" Answer Annisa
"You must have heard, didn't you?, about the matchmaking ?" Ask Aisha carefully.
Hearing the sister's question, Annisa was immediately bowed. Afterwards nod his head slowly.
Aisha also corrected her sitting position facing the sister who looked different from before.
"If you are not ready, you do not need to accept it" said the elder brother staring fixedly at the figure of Annisa in front of him.
Aisha loved her sister so much, Aisha also knew what kind of figure she would be in a match with her sister. To be honest there are no problems or shortcomings of the candidate chosen by Abi.
Someone who will be in a match with Annisa is a good figure. Zyan Malik Abdulah is a man who is kind and good in his face, although not with his parents.
"Follow your heart, and Istiqomah's advice, To make everything look bright and clear afterwards" Aisha said softly.
Swiping the back of the brother who was bowed with a thought that was out of nowhere at the moment.
Annisa nodded her head, with the words conveyed by her sister.
Aisha only wishes happiness from her sister, hopefully with the Istikharah Annisa will find the answer of the doubt she feels.
The Prophet Shallallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam had advised his people that they should ask Allah's knowledge Subhanahu wa Ta’ala in all the affairs that they experienced in their lives, and that they should ask for good in them. That is, by teaching them the prayer of Istikharah as a substitute for what was commonly done in the days of jahiliyyah, in the form of prophecies, pleading to idols and seeing fortune.
From Jabir bin Abdillah Radhiyallahu ‘anhu, he told me ; ‘Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam once taught istikharah to us in (all) affairs, as he taught us letters from the Qur’an. He says.
إِذَ هَمَّ أَحَدُ كُمْ بِاْلأَمْرِ، فَلْيَرْكَعْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ غَيْرِ الْفَرِيْضَةِ، ثُمَّ لْيَقُلْ : اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيْرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيْمِ فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلاَ أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُيُوْبِ. اَللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا اْلأَمْرَ خَيْرٌ لِيْ فِيْ دِيْنِيْ وَمَعَاشِيْ وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِيْ (ا َوْ قَالَ: عَاجِلِ أَمْرِي وَآجِلِهِ) فَاقْدُرْهُ لِيْ وَيَسِّرْهُ لِيْ ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِيْ فِيْهِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا اْلأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِيْ فِيْ دِيْنِيْ وَمَعَاشِيْ وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِيْ (أَوْ قَالَ: فِيْ عَاجِلِ أَمْرِي وَآجِلِهِ) فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِيْ عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِيَ الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِيْ بِهِ قَالَ : وَيُسَمِّي حَاجَتَهُ
“If one of you wishes to do something, he should pray two rakaats outside the obligatory prayer, and he should say (‘Yes Allah, (, verily I ask Thee for guidance with Thy knowledge, and I ask for Thy great gift, for Thou art in power, and I have no power at all, You know that I do not, and You are All-Knowing of the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this affair (later mentioned directly the affairs in question) is better for me in religion, life, and the end of my affairs” –or say : “Either in the near future or in the future-so set it for me and ease it for me. Then give me my blessing in running it. And if You know that this affair is bad for me in religion, life and the end of my affairs” –or say: “Good in the near and future-, <TAG1>, so take the matter away from me and keep me away from it, and set the good for me wherever the good is, and make me a man of the law), He said : “Should he mention his need” Narrated by Al-Bukhari.
Istikharah prayer is a sunah prayer that is done when a person is faced with two heavy and urgent choices. With Istikharah prayer, we will be able to make the right and best choices according to God's guidance.
"Among the happiness of the son of Adam is to let go of what God has decided, and among the sorrow of the son of Adam is to leave in the direction of God (begging for good), and among the sorrow of the son of Adam is to leave in the direction of God (begging for good), and among the sufferings of the Son of Adam is that he hates all that God gives".
Well according to us, not necessarily good according to God. Good according to God is certainly good for us. Although the good is not or has not been seen by us.In reality, many things that we previously considered bad, but in the end we get good things from what we consider bad.
Indeed, goodness cannot be measured using only limited human reason.It does not have to be seen and can be felt immediately.
This increase is something that is concerned with the distant future, not just for today or the present. Goodness is something of God.
