Loving Saleha's Bodyguard
Final Decision

Ms. Hanum stood up as soon as she saw her husband walking down the stairs while holding Prof's hand. Zaina. Looking at her husband's serious face, Bu Hanum really couldn't read that face Shout. Annoyed, happy, or angry? That looks very confusing.

Robin who was eating fruit immediately swallowed the fruit in his mouth without chewing it gently.

Dag.Dig.Dug-saw.

Yuna's chest was pounding very quickly, as if her heart was about to leap out. He had never before felt the fear that made his breath feel tight. Seeing his Papa holding onto Prof's arm. Zain with a serious look made him tense.

"Pa-papa?" Yuna greeted as she looked at that serious face.

"Did Papa decide about the continuation of our relationship? Whatever Papa's decision, Yuna will still follow him!" Connect Yuna with a soft voice. A split second later he ducked down without daring to look at his Papa's face again. She shed tears in her silence.

"Mhd... Please have some hot tea!" Pinta Pak Andi on Art who stood up and stole their talk from behind the wall.

"Bright sir." Reply Art that sepuh while walking slowly towards the kitchen.

"Papa never imposes the will on Papa's children. This time Papa will decide whether Prof. Zain deserves it or not for you, if he doesn't deserve it, Papa will find a better candidate." Said Mr. Andi as soon as he reached the living room and sat beside Bu Hanum.

"Papa's sure of Papa's decision? Mama likes Nak Zain!" Said Ms. Hanum while looking at Prof. Zain with a look of affection. Profs. Zain who sat next to Robin still looked a little tense. All the things he has done to convince Mr. Andi, if Mr. Andi refused it then there is no reason for him to stay.

"Sir, this is the tea you asked for."

"Thank you." Said Ms. Hanum while smiling at Mbok Dami.

"Where are Sawn and Raina?"

"Sister-in-law isn't feeling well, Brother Sawn brought her into the room." Reply Yuna while looking at her Papa's face.

"Ahhh that... Brother Sawn is coming." Yuna said as soon as she saw Sawn walking slowly down the stairs.

"What Papa has decided will accept Prof. Zain or reject it?" Sawn asked as soon as he reached the living room then sat down next to his mother.

"Isn't Raina unwell, why did you leave her? You should have accompanied him!" Bu Hanum asked without taking his eyes off his proud son.

"He's asleep. He slept after performing the prayer."

"Careat? Isn't Raina sick? What salat do you mean?" Robin asked while showing off her worried face.

"You and I are both stupid! If you're near Raina you'll realize that you're from a different world.

He's not like you! He's not like me either!For a Raina his prayers are worth more than his life. If he cannot stand he will perform his prayers by sitting down. If he cannot sit, he will recite his prayers. This time he did his prayer by sitting. I died after we finished praying." Reply Sawn while grabbing the teacup that was on the table.

Robin nodded while scratching his head that did not itch, for the first time he heard Salat can be done by sitting or lying down.

How are you doing with me? My hands and feet are still complete, I'm healthy too! I forgot the last time I prayed. Robin muttered in his heart regardless of Sawn's sharp gaze.

"When Papa proposed to your Mama, Papa also said the same thing to your late Opa. The same words as Prof. Zain. Maybe Papa is the only shameless man in the world.

Papa's just a poor student, out of nowhere Papa gets the courage to approach your Mama, your Mama is the prettiest woman on campus and the nicest woman you've ever met in your entire life." Mr. Andi smiled as he deciphered the story of his past, a story he himself never told Sawn and Yuna.

"Papa ventured to meet Opa you are only armed with confidence, the belief that the Power will unite us even though the wall of differences between us is quite large.

At first Papa felt depressed and did not dare to meet your Opa. In the heart, Papa can only ask for help from the Power, because everything in this world goes according to his will.

Honestly, papa was crying when your Opa asked what Papa could do to make your Mama happy. Papa has nothing but self-respect, for those of us who have no money and the power of our self-esteem are far more valuable than anything in the world.

Papa feels suffocated to hear every question of your Opa, Papa thinks very hard, Your mother always lives like the Queen while Papa always lives with hard work.

Every now and then Papa dares to look at the charismatic face of your Opa, Opa you guys seem to be sighing violently, as if that gaze is saying, how dare you approach my precious daughter? You're just a poor man so act like an invisible person, get out of here?

At least, that's how Papa's mind interprets your Opa's sharp gaze. Isn't your Papa very narrow-minded?" Said Mr. Andi again with a smile, his brain memory brought him back when he proposed to Ms. Hanum but he was scared by her status.

"Papa once said, Papa can't promise to be the best, but Papa promised to always accompany your Mama, and that's what Papa did until now.

Tonight Prof. Zain did the same, Prof. Zain confirmed his words to always inhabit Yuna. For Papa it was more than enough! After weighing everything carefully, with this Papa decided...!" Speech Pak Andi stuck in his throat, he stared one by one family members then his gaze ended on Prof. Zain De Lucca's.

Glekkk!

Profs. Zain could only swallow his saliva, waiting for Pak Andi's answer to make his breath feel tight, his chest pounding very fast, it felt like he wanted to scream just to remove the anxiety in his heart. Let alone shouting, he could not even look at the faces of Pak Andi and Bu Hanum.

You're rejected! You're rejected! Pak Andi has not said anything but the speech continues to spin in the memory of Prof's brain. Zaina.

"By saying Bismil was born rahmanir rahim, Papa decided that Papa would accept Nak Zain's proposal for Papa Yuna Dinata's beloved daughter." Said Mr. Andi without further ado.

The middle room that had been quiet now turned boisterous by Yuna's sobs, her cries began to break after hearing her Papa's final verdict. Out of nowhere came the happy mixed sad feeling that filled his chest cavity. On the sidelines of his crying incessantly he said 'Alhamdulillah' as a form of gratitude to God.

Yuna's wet eyes looked at her Mama and Papa's happy faces. When a child is happy, his parents are happiest in the universe, and when a child is sad, his parents are the ones who feel the most pain.

Lord.... Thank you for every favor you give me and my family, your gifts exceed the breadth of the ocean, while my sins are more than the foam of the sea. I-i'm sorry! I-i'm sorry! Lirih Yuna in her heart while shedding tears.

This beautiful night felt very short, but the happiness it offered was immeasurable. Either Prof. Zain or Yuna, they do not want this night to end without painting the sweet memories they will bring to their beautiful dreams.

Hearing the approval of Mr. Andi made Prof. Zain felt great happiness, without saying a word he immediately approached Pak andi and Bu Hanum, he shed his tears while sitting together under the feet of the two people who were very respected.

"W-what are you doing? Get up and sit down at your place!" Bu hanum's orders while holding Prof's arm. Zaina.

"Thank you for giving birth to a daughter as beautiful as Yuna, raising her to be an independent woman and educating her to be a woman who is not afraid in defending the truth." Profs. Zain cupped his hands together in front of his chest.

"Women are not clothes you can wear and you take them off at will. The woman is honorable and has her rights.

Father, take care of my daughter as you take care of yourself. Don't forget that he will be your responsibility. And the biggest responsibility for us men is to make our wives always feel safe and comfortable, not only being a couple in the world but also being a couple to heaven." Said Mr. Andi while patting Prof slowly on the shoulder. Zain De Lucca's.

I have a perfect wife, I love her more than anything in the world. I don't want to be separated from him in the blink of an eye. The merciful Lord, the merciful, unite us to heaven. Pinta Sawn in silence. Hearing his father's words made Sawn miss Raina even more, even though he left his wife for no more than an hour.
