I, Ikhlas Mas
Answer Hilda

... "And I choose like Sayyidah Fatimah Az-zahra who keeps his feelings in silence"...

One week passed, and during that time Hilda prayed the prayer of Istiqarah to ask for the best decision, and the answer she had to accept Gus Afnan's proposal. Hilda had also called her father and brother about the proposal and they agreed and only wished Hilda the best.

After calling the father Hilda went to the house of Ummi Khadijah to tell the answer.As soon as the house of Pak Kiyai turned out to be a guest, Hilda decided to return later.

"But, Gus Afnan said he would marry me" the voice of the woman from inside the house was able to stop Hilda from leaving. Hilda's face suddenly stiffened, tears that were about to come out she held desperately so as not to drip.

He was about to continue his steps but the baritone voice stopped him

"Where are you going?" he said with a worried tone, he was Gus Afnan he accidentally saw Hilda when he wanted to go home but did not become.

Hilda who at that time still mastered her expression so as not to be seen will cry was still standing behind Gus Afnan.Tak long after he exhaled slowly and turned his head.

"With papa Gus, I was going to see Ummi but it looks like there are guests so I decide later" Hilda said with a smile.

"Ohh Ummi, how come I call you?" replied Gus Afnan, he knew Hilda would give an answer to her proposal.

"That's why I'll be here again. If so, excuse me first,

Assalamualaikum "pronounced Hilda and passed from before Gus Afnan.

"Waalaikumsalam" said Gus Afnan slowly, because he knew that Hilda heard Amanda's words.

Yes, the guest is Amanda friend since childhood Gus Afanan, he met with his parents to ask Gus Afnan to marry his daughter.

After talking with Hilda Gus Afnan, he went back to his house.

"Where Gus are you willing to marry my daughter, I have spoken to Mr. Kiyai and he said that you already have a future wife, is that true?" said Amanda's Dad.

"First of all I apologize to my mother and father especially Amanda.Yes, it's true that I already have a wife, and for me to talk about marrying Amanda it's my word at the age of 10 years." Gus Afanan.

Gus Afnan did talk about marrying Amanda when he was 10 years old.However, maybe for Gus Afnan it was just the words of a 10-year-old child who did not understand anything. But for Amanda it was taken seriously.

With an upset heart Amanda's family paid her way home, before Amanda went home to talk with Gus Afnan.

"I won't give up to get you Afnan." said Amanda as she passed, but only a few steps he turned back to Gus Afnan.

"Oh yes, and I'm also curious as to who is the woman who is able to crush an Afnan Al-Farizi" he said with a mocking smile.

Amanda is not of pesantren descent or family. Why Gus Afnan could know Amanda was in college when Gis Afnan. Amanda is now much different from Amanda who she used to know as a child as well as her parents.

When Amanda and her family were home, Gus Afnan sat in the living room and daydreamed.

"Why Af ko daydreaming" said Pak kiyai who is none other than his father.

Gus Afnan was a little surprised and privileged.

"Keep it out"

"Eat him don't daydream Af "

"How come it seems like you have more thoughts" he continued with a sip of tea.

"Engga bi Afnan was only worried, if Hilda refused Afnan, he had heard Amanda's words." said Gus Afnan while looking down.

"Have prayed and left everything to Allah, if he is your soul mate Allah will not be mistaken." said his father while calming his son.

While Hilda he was sitting on one of the benches in the park near the girls' dormitory.

Her net was staring far ahead there with teary eyes.

"Surely Gus Afnan has said to marry another woman, then do I have to convey this answer." Say it in the heart.

He closed his eyes for a moment to calm his heart and mind, after a while he opened his beautiful eyes.

"Whatever the decision I will accept, the important thing is that I have delivered this answer." said Hilda to herself.

He stood up to leave the garden, but when he turned around there was someone who had heard his words.

At once Hilda was shocked and privileged.

"Sorry well mbak abisnya earlier mbak Hilda khusyu really" said Gus Afnan while smiling.

"issshhh what the hell Gus, there's what Gus why I came here nyamperin" said Hilda.

"Emang can not nyamperin his own future wife." Gus Afnan.

Instantly Hilda was shocked and reflexively turned around, when blussshhhh Hilda cheeks red like a boiled crab, karna as she turned around in the treat with a sweet smile Gus Afnan.

Hilda immediately lowered her gaze.

"His cheeks are red, what's the matter?" said Gus Afnan.Sadar Hilda did not answer he just smiled.

"That's why I told Ummi to go home there is something that Ummi wants to ask, and about that is what I don't want to take seriously" said Gus Afanan seriously.

"If so I go first well, fear being slander.

Assalamualaikum"continued Gus Afnan while going towards the son santri who had been waiting for him, so as not to cause slander.

"Waalaikumsalam" said Hilda slowly because she was still shocked, with the words of Gus Afnan. "Wife-to-be" said it was able to make his heart rumble.

After managing her feelings, she went to Pak Kiyai's house. He was also welcomed by Ummi Khadijah and Pak Kiyai.

He also sat in the living room with Gus Afnan's parents.

Umm Khadijah gently held Hilda's hand and rubbed it.

Hilda looked down and replied "It is Ummi, and Insyaalloh Hilda accepted it."Hilda.

"Alhamdulillah, if so next week we will hold a proposal" said Mr. Kiyai with a smile.
