Loving You in Prayer
The Part 20
Alfan's family had already arrived at the orphanage where Alfina had been staying all this time. Umi, Abi, and Alfan immediately got out of the car and took delivery and walked into the main door of the house.
Alfan who was still standing next to the car tried to neutralize his heart because tonight he will crush a little girl in his past. Hopefully he gets the best answer during the preaching process later.
"Assynoga". Greetings umi Laila and abi Lukman and Alfan
"Vaalaikumussalam". Reply mother Nila who has been standing at the door to welcome the arrival of Alfan and his family
"Please come in sir, ma'am, son Alfan". Nila's mother invited them in
"Thank you ma'am". Answer umi Laila
They shake hands with solemnity and courtesy while in the guest room. Mother Nila is not alone she was accompanied by her husband because yesterday just returned from working outside the city. They are parents who took care of Alfina from childhood since her parents had an accident.
"How are you, ma'am?". Ask mother Nila
"Thank God our good news ma'am". Answer umi Laila
"Son Alfan how are you today?". Ask Mother Nila to Alfan with a sweet smile
"Alhamdulillah good ma'am". Answer
"Call us both father and mother yes son, because soon you are also mother's son and father". Mother Nila said
Alfan nodded "Good mother".
Mother Nila smiled at Alfan who was always dignified and polite. She was very grateful that her foster daughter would be married by a devout man in worship like Alfan. A man is a leader for women.
"Wait a minute let me call Alfina in her room first". Nila's mother's permission
"Please ma'am, I've missed Alfina". Umi Laila answered with a smile towards Nila's mother
"Well my daughter's mom is always missed and agangenin, don't you want Alfan?". Tempta mother of Nila
Alfan nodded "Yes mother". Answer
They were in the guest room smiling sweetly to see Alfan who was very happy to be reunited with his little friend. Moreover, this was the beginning of their journey and struggle towards halal.
Mother Nila entered Alfina's room whose door was half opened, then Nila's mother first said her greetings before entering the girl's room.
"Assalamualaikum son". Salutations
"Waalaikumussalam". Answer
"Where are you ready to meet your family and your future husband?". Ask mother Nila
"Alfina is afraid of mother". Answer is shrewd
"Do not be afraid, son, there will be a mother and father who accompany you". Mother Nila said to calm Alfina's anxiety
"How come they can accept Alfina for what she is?". Ask
"In Allah they will receive you well". Answer mother Nila
"Well let's come with the mother out, can not be sad if there is a mother with the father who accompanied". Nila's mother hugged Alfina
Alfina nodded in Nila's arms as she said "Good mother".
Finally, Nila's mother brought Alfina to the front, the guest room that had been awaited by the family of the future husband of Alfina. Alfina until made deg-degan when walking towards the living room.
When he arrived at the guest room he saw a stranger and Alfina thought he knew him very well. Alfina began to approach and before sitting down he saw there were umi Laila and abi Lukman who were smiling at his arrival.
Alfina was shocked by why the parents of her lecturer were in the orphanage tonight. Alfina tried to think positively and calmly.
"Assalamualaikum umi abi". His greeting then Alfina cupped both hands to abi Lukman and he extended his hand to Umi Laila
"Waalaikumussalam darling". Umi Laila and abi Lukman
Before sitting down he was hugged tightly by Umi Laila, happily replying to her as he said "How are umi and abi?". Ask
Umi Laila let go of her embrace then replied "Propos umi and abi good dear".
"Alhamdulillah". Reply Alfina
"How are you, how's the baby?". Ask Umi Laila while stroking Alfina's cheeks affectionately
"Alhamdulillah". Reply umi Laila
Then Alfina sat between her father and her mother, which meant that she was in their midst. Alfina already considered her foster parents like her own. They are so dear to him. Alfina was grateful for that.

"Where is your son ma'am?".
"He's out for a minute because he's got a phone call from a friend, he's gonna be here any minute". Answer umi Laila
Mother Laila nodded "Yes ma'am". Answer
Alfan who heard it also frowned, did he not mishear mother Nila mention your son to Umi Laila. What he meant was his lecturer, as Alfina umi Laila and abi Lukman had only one son.
"Sorry to wait". Said someone who went back into the living room in his cool style
Alfina who was not a stranger heard the voice of the person then raised her head and saw who it was.
Deg ... ...
Alfina's breathing paused for a moment when her beautiful netra accidentally collided with Alfan's sharp netra. Is he hallucinating why his parents and lecturer are at the waiting tonight. Alfina started to fret and not calm down.
Alfina immediately lowered her head when she realized that she was looking at a man who was not her mahram. Moreover, the lecturer was wearing batik clothes that are similar to him, he became anxious because tonight.
"Alfina they came here to convey their good intentions to you, I hope you accept it, son?". Said Norman's father while looking at Alfina
Norman's father was the husband of Nila's mother who had been working out of town. The couple did not have any children, so he considered Alfina to be his own. Norman's father and Nila's mother also loved the other foster children who were in this waiting.
"What father mean?". Ask Alfina to Norman's father
"Let them dear ones explain". Prattling
Abi Lukman smiled at Alfina then said "Our son came here because there is one thing we want to say to you to convey the good intentions of abi's son who will worship you". Abi Lukman said
"Boy conveyed your good intentions to Alfina as well as her parents". Abi Lukman's orders to Alfina
"Good abi". Answer
"My mother's father came here with abi and umi because he wanted to convey my goodwill to teach Alfina Eliza Humaira to be my life companion and the mother of my children later". Alfan said seriously
"We accept your good intentions, son, but for my answer leave everything to my daughter". Answer
Alfina who heard her lecturer convey good intentions to propose herself then grasped both hands of Nila's mother tightly. He was still confused to be faced with such a situation. In his heart he felt happy because the person he always prayed for in the bow of a third of the night was now in front of him to propose to him.
"Darling umi is so happy because umi's son has chosen you to be his wife so he came here to propose to you son". Umi Laila said
"Maybe this is too sudden for you, I am ready to receive an answer from you at any time. I'll wait for him". Alfan spoke suddenly
He looked at Alfan who was staring at him briefly then turned his gaze to another direction. Because Alfan knows that Alfina is still not lawful with himself so as much as possible he keeps his eyes well in order to avoid sin and adultery.
Alfina turned to look at Nila's mother who nodded her head to agree with this proposal, she only hoped that Alfina could feel the true happiness along with her partner. Then he also turned to look at Norman's father who was beside him he also nodded steadily that he also agreed to accept Alfan as the future husband of his foster daughter.
Alfina lowered her head then said a sentence that could make everyone there feel happy and relieved because of the answer from Alfina.
"Alright Alfina will give an answer to the good intentions that Mr. Alfan has conveyed".
Everyone stared at Alfina intensely, as well as Alfan. But Alfan then lowered his head, he was ready to listen to the answer of a woman who he was currently preaching in front of his foster parents also in front of his ashes.
"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim, By the permission of Allah Alfina received this sermon". Said slowly
Everyone in the living room cheered happily with a soaring heart. All thanked him for soon a long journey of household between Alfan and Alfina.
"Alhamdulillah". Lirih Alfan
Umi who heard the answer from Alfina then stood up and approached Alfina then hugged her tightly, because from now on Alfina is her daughter-in-law and also her favorite daughter.
"Alhamdulillah, thank you very much for receiving the application from the son of umi and abi. You are the daughter-in-law and daughter of Umi's favorite". Umi Laila said
Alfina smiled "Sama-sama umi". He then hugged Umi Laila again
Alfan who saw the closeness of Umi and his future wife then smiled thinly. He is grateful to have been given two favorite women in his life. Alfan was happy because his application process had been accepted by his childhood friend.
