Love Jihad
EPISODE 10~ Dilemma~

Adam took a deep breath with mixed feelings. Adam confirmed his position facing Annisa.

" Anisa, do you want ta'aruf with me. After graduation, I'll propose to you and ask your parents."

Deg. Annisa was so shocked by Adam's confession. Hearing Adam's knowledge, Darren became furious, he broke the plant twig in front of him and then immediately left and returned to the basecamp.

" I'm sorry, but I'm still in college. I haven't thought about it in that direction." Annisa said subtly though she actually put her heart to Adam.

" I'm not forcing you to answer now Annisa. I don't want to make your college concentration disturbed." Adam said carefully.

" Yes, Brother. Sorry Annisa, yes. We better go for what we are as usual. Annisa is also 2 years away from graduating. Annisa is afraid if it takes too long and something happens that we do not want. Annisa wants to feel the graduation moment later so that Dad and Mom are proud to see Annisa. Let time unite us, brother." Obviously Annisa.

" Yes, I understand. But I'm relieved now and it's also true what you said. All right, let me get you to class."

" Yes, Brother. Thank you brother and sorry that Annisa's answer disappointed Adam."

" No, really. I'm not disappointed at all. I'd be more disappointed if I didn't dare to say it to you." Adam said with a sweet smile.

The Back to Basecamp Bad Boys....

Darren opened the door very rudely and again shocked his friend.

" Nih boy makes a man hanger mulu. Lo kesambet what the hell." Said Rio arrogantly looking at Darren's more severe attitude. Darren sighed for a moment and thought.

" What is Ta'aruf?" Asked Darren innocently. The three friends were shocked to hear Darren's question.

" Why are you asking?" Search Tori.

" Just ask, why? Can't." Ketus Darren's.

" Taaruf is an activity to visit someone's home to get acquainted with its inhabitants. Ta'aruf can be the first step to introduce two families that will match one family member.Ta'aruf can also be done if both parties agree and just wait for the decision of the child to be willing or not to proceed to the wedding. As an objective means of introduction and approach, taaruf is different from dating. Ta'aruf was ordered by the Prophet Muhammad for couples who wanted to marry. The difference between dating with ta'aruf is in terms of goals and benefits. According to Islam, courtship is considered a pleasure that does not last long, and is considered the path to adultery and maksiat." Obviously Kevin.

The three of them listened to Kevin's explanation to such a detail.

" Wow. Lo great, Vin. Since when did you turn into a religious gini" Rio said as he clapped.

" I swear I'm afraid to know." Tori feels that she is a playboy.

" Yes gini-gini if there is da'wah on campus, I still dread the times. And he says he's good at it, gaes. So we went out after marriage and it looks like it's more beautiful. We have full rights and are free to do anything with our partner." Bright Kevin.

" Bene, too, Vin. If they were ta'aruf it would have been the girl who was a ting ting virgin. You see, they have no physical contact, all are virgins from head to toe. Nowadays nyari ori girl is so rare. You see such a girl is very protective of her honor and sanctity until her own husband who touches. Yes let alone girls today, how do we know they are still ori what not, cook yes we want to try one-on-one for mastiin ori what not." Add Tori while chuckling.

" I swear, this gang's over we have to rename it not Bad Boys anymore but Repent Boys." Rio said while laughing.

" Hahahahaha, too, Lo." Imbuh Tori while shaking Rio's head. Darren was silent, he tried to digest and understand what Kevin & Tori explained. Understanding the meaning of ta'aruf by the incident he just saw that Adam invited Annisa ta'aruf. For a moment he thought about the matchmaking offer from his father but what kind of woman he would marry Darren. If it's like Annisa, Darren can consider it but if it's not, it's the same. That's what's going around in Darren's head.

" Didn't I have a chance with Annisa. But obviously, I'm not an Annisa type guy and obviously Annisa definitely accepts Adam. Adam is the criterion of Annisa, of course Annisa likes it." Ask Darren inwardly.

" Whoi. Even dumbly." Kevin said as he waved his hand in front of Darren's face.

" Tau ah, dizzy me." Darren said as he ruffled his own hair.

" Go home, we're just clubing. I think there's something for." Take Tori.

" Agree." Kevin&rio.

At night at Annisa's...

" Dear, Mom and Dad want to talk to you seriously." Mr. Amir said he started the conversation in the living room.

" Daughter, you remember Mr. Surya."

" Yes, Dad. Dad's best friend, who always helped me, helped Annisa's education, even when Dad was broke and deceived by Daddy's business partner, he was the one who helped Dad to always get up." Annisa said that told the figure of Mr. Surya in his eyes.

" You remember, son." Mr. Amir said with relief.

" But why is Dad with him. Is he in the maslah." Ask Annisa.

" Look. Mr. Surya wants to ask you for his son."

" What?" Annisa asked in shock.

" I mean Dad. Mr. Surya and I want to match you. I want you to marry Mr. Surya's son. Mr. Surya also likes you very much and has chosen you as his daughter-in-law. Because you're the right candidate for his son."

" But, Dad. Should return the favor in exchange for Annisa's feelings. Annisa does not know her son, has never met him, what kind of man he is and is he a good priest for Annisa." Annisa said with teary eyes.

" kids. He's a very good boy. I'm certainly not going to plunge you with something bad. Mr. Surya wants to guarantee your life, son."

" Dad, it's not about material things but about feelings." Refute Annisa subtly.

" Wouldn't that feeling grow over time, wouldn't it be a good thing, son. Ta'aruf as you wish."

" Yes, Dad. Annisa understands but this is ta'aruf without Annisa knowing who Annisa's soul mate is. Especially about his character. Then what about Annisa's lecture" Annisa's tears did not power He damned. She wants to go to college and get a college degree, make her life better, raise her parents' degrees, have a big fashion boutique and then she thinks about ta'aruf. The ideals he dreamed of collapsed instantly at the request of his parents.

" You don't have to worry, even after marriage you can go to college. Mr. Surya won't forbid you from achieving your goals, son." Mr. Amir said

" Kid, it's obvious he's a good kid because he comes from a good family. For Mr. Surya you are the best mate for his son, for the world and the hereafter his son." Imbuh Bu Ranti who then embraced Annisa with affection.

" Give Annisa some time to think, Dad." Annisa said who then went to her room. Annisa threw her body on the bed while holding her sobs.

" O God. What is this, I've hung my ideals so high but why did my own parents tear it down. Even for the sake of achieving my ideals, I tried to ignore my passion for Brother Adam. I ignored his ta'aruf, I sacrificed my feelings to achieve my goals because I really want to make Dad and Mom happy." Annisa murmured in the heart. Annisa experiences an inner upheaval between obedience with her parents, her ideals & love.
