I'm a Qualified Old Virgin
Khitba

Flashback a few days ahead of the inaugural hearing ...

"Bos, I've got info on Ms. Syifa. At the age of 25, Ms. Syifa got married. The date and day of the wedding have been decided. But, by the end of the day there was a disaster that resulted in the prospective groom having an accident. Then I don't know what the reason is but according to one of the citizens the marriage was not implemented. Later it was known there were several men who came to invite berta'aruf but none of them were accepted by Ms. Syifa," said Tom's assistant.

Iqbal became increasingly curious about the reason Syifa did not get married and rejected all the men who came to propose to him.

"What do you think is it possible that Syifa canceled her marriage because her future husband was physically disabled after the accident, Tom?" tanya Iqbal tried to examine.

"Can be the boss. Most couples will do so when their partner undergoes significant physical changes. But I don't think Miss Syifa is that kind of person, boss. She looks a generous woman. But whose heart people know if the change is so fatal that it's permanently flawed, boss!" tom expressed his opinion.

Iqbal raised one hand propping up his chin. As Tom said, as far as she knew about Syifa she used to be a kind and generous girl.

If the problem is that Syifa shouldn't have rejected the man who then came to propose to her, Tom. Is it possible that Syifa did not want to marry and was pressed to accept the marriage so that the disaster that occurred became an opportunity for her to refuse to marry the man?" smith again.

"That's right, Boss. What a mysterious woman!" tom lirih muttered.

It could be that he rejected all the men for thinking he was not virgin! If because of that he should now want to get married because he already knows if he is still virgin! Iqbal murmurs in the heart.

"But Boss why are you so curious to know about Ms Syifa? Are you falling for him, boss?" ask Tom's assistant to investigate.

"Fall Hearts?! Don't talk to you Tom!" Kill Iqbal while confirming the location of the tie that has been neat.

Tom narrowed the tip of his eyes suspiciously. But he did not dare to speculate anymore worried about getting angry at his boss. He is also already comfortable with a large salary as a personal assistant Iqbal.

......................

Since Syifa became his legal representative, the intensity of meetings between Iqbal and Syifa was fairly frequent ahead of the trial. It was there that Iqbal began to be disturbed by the presence of Syifa.

Now everything about Syifa so stole his attention. As if there was an urge in him to always protect and take care of him. Worried that Devan would hurt her again. Feeling responsible for what he had seen from Syifa. Things he shouldn't have seen.

Unbeknownst to Tom's assistant, Iqbal secretly orders a diamond ring with a special design.

Arriving at the dinner, Iqbal looked for an opportunity to chat with Abi Imron. When everyone was busy chatting Iqbal invited abi Imron to speak with four eyes. On the back porch Iqbal specifically expressed his wish.

"I'm sorry to say this in my house and not to come to your house as Syifa's parents. But I deliberately invited You and Aunt Rosa at dinner this time because there is another more important purpose that I want to convey to you. Without prejudice to respect, I sincerely wish to treat your daughter Syifa. This ring I have a special message in advance to propose Syifa. And I think now is the right time for me to express my desire to preach Asyifa to you as her parents," Iqbal said without hesitation while putting a square box featuring a diamond ring inside.

Imron picked up the ring that chuckled at the table. He could see the authenticity of the ring and saw a name engraved on the inner side of the ring that read Asyifa. It proves that Iqbal did prepare this ring in advance.

Imron put the ring back in its original place. He stared fixedly at Iqbal who was still unmoved to wait for an answer from him.

There's not much Imron knows about Iqbal. He had only heard a few stories about Iqbal from Rosa. Rosa also told me that Syifa and Iqbal used to know each other because they attended the same school at the time of High School. Rosa also later found out that Iqbal was the one who turned out to save Syifa from the abuse committed by Devan at that time. But Imron felt that he had no right to answer this proposal before he asked Rosa and Syifa himself.

"Sorry, Son Iqbal. In this case I cannot give a decision before I discuss with my wife and Syifa. And if you may know what reason you are covering Syifa in this way. Shouldn't you openly propose to Syifa in front of Syifa and her mother and family?" ask Imron.

"You are absolutely right. At first that was what I wanted to do. But I have a reason why I do that. Earlier I apologized because I had time to find out about the reason Syifa was not married until now. I heard rumors that Syifa had canceled her marriage and several times rejected the proposal that came. But I don't know the reason behind it all. Because of that, I do not want to make Syifa feel uncomfortable or there may be a trauma for Syifa to step on the level of marriage. For that I decided not to come to your house directly."

"My hope in this way is that Syifa does not need to feel burdened and also does not cause rumors if it does not receive a proposal from me. And I intend to leave it to you to present my proposal to Syifa and her mother. You can discuss it first with your extended family. Whatever your decision will be I will try to accept it with room."

"I'll wait for news from you when you're ready to give me an answer. And I'm ready at any time to come to your house" Iqbal said, holding out a business card that also contained a phone number that could be reached.

"Well, son Iqbal, I'll call you later after a discussion with my family" Imron said, taking the card and putting it in his shirt pocket.

After chatting they returned to the place where everyone had gathered.

......................

Arriving at the house Imron informed Syifa and his wife of Iqbal's proposal. A diamond ring from Iqbal that he had brought, he placed it on the table in front of Syifa.

Syifa was immediately shocked by what abi Imron said about Iqbal's proposal. Syifa had not felt any sign that Iqbal was proposing to her. It was completely unexpected by Syifa given Iqbal's always cold attitude. Even Iqbal never showed any interest in Syifa.
