Marrying a Muslim Woman

Marrying a Muslim Woman
Chapter 79. Been Set


The next day, Fahmi and his parents came to visit Abi Zaenal's house. Abi Zaenal's words are not wrong, Fahmi actually came to the house to talk about the date of his marriage and Fatimah.


Now Fahmi with his parents sit in the living room chair where two families have gathered.


Secretly Fahmi pay attention to the appearance of his future wife and Fatimah was not silent, he chose to bow his head rather than make it sin because it has been staring at what is not his mahram.


"The date of your wedding, falls on the twelfth of October which is two weeks from now." Abi Zaenal has set the date of his daughter's marriage to the son of his best friend.


This engaged couple was just silent, not unmoved. As if I had lost everything that had happened.


"Alhamdulillah, now that the wedding date has been determined, there will be no more doubts that sometimes perch in our minds" said Arya who interspersed with laughter. So that makes the people who are there laugh with the joke that Salman gave.


"Son Fahmi, you can talk to Abi's daughter for a while. But it will be accompanied by Nisa," said Abi Zaenal who knows exactly the curiosity Fahmi is often seen from the expression of his face.


Fahmi looked at Abinya's face and got a nod of the head from Salman. As if Salman understood, the meaning of his son's eyes.


That way, making Fahmi accept an offer from Abi Zaenal who allows him to know his future wife.


Fortunately at that time Nisa was outside the courtyard of Abi Zaenal's house, so that made Fatimah not difficult to look for him.


The three of them are now sitting on a chair outside the terrace of Abi Zaenal house that has a distance so as not to be close to each other or touch.


"Do you really want to marry me?" asked Fahmi by looking.


Suddenly Fatimah was shocked, as if in disbelief. "A-I don't know, but now the wedding date has been set," said Fatimah who was slightly stammered in her reply.


"Well if that's your answer, then I'll take it." I don't know what Fahmi meant that there must be a hidden meaning, from his words.


Fatimah alone did not dare to ask even just lowered her head. Although in truth, there were already various questions that the girl should have revealed.


Curious for sure, but what else? From the beginning, Fahmi had been very cold and it made his future wife not dare to say anything.


"That's all I want to say to you. Now we go back inside again" said Fahmi flatly. The man stood up from his seat as he walked into Abi Zaenal's house and was followed by Fatimah behind him.


Don't ask again, how Nisa responded, must be surprised. Nisa also seemed to feel the peculiarity of Fatimah's relationship with her future husband.


"How do you know each other?" arya asked her curious daughter.


"It's okay, we'll get to know each other." Abi Zaenal spoke up when the atmosphere became quiet because Fahmi's answer was unthinkable. Hearing that, Fahmi could only smile wryly.


The quiet atmosphere, now re-enjoiced. Another case with Fatimah who just fell silent to think about the words of her future husband who somehow disturbed his mind.


After the departure of Fahmi with his parents, Fatimah instead went straight to his room with the excuse, want to change clothes. Ummi Siti allowed him unsuspecting with the slightest attitude towards her daughter who was often silent.


In the room, Fatimah was pensive. "Whether I feel right now, this heart feels powerless with what is happening. As if all this I never expected," Fatimah muttered as she stared at the ceiling of the room with a difficult gaze to decipher.


"Will he be my priest? But why, it feels like I can't accept his presence in my life." Fatimah was deep and her mind was not in line with reality.


Drifting with thoughts that began to run rampant, made Fatimah decided to perform prayers istikharah. Ask for guidance to the almighty.


Perhaps Fatimah was silent when asked to accept the fact that she was not ready for it. But behind that silence. Fatimah often complained to the Almighty in the silent third of her night.


Complain? Yes, that is what Fatimah did now. According to him, the place he confided only by praying to God to ask for the best path for himself.


"Oh Allah, please give your best and keep away what may be bad for Mommy. If indeed Mas Fahmi is the one whom you choose to make as the best priest for Imah then Imah gladly accepts him. But if she is not the best for Imah, please keep her away from the life of Imah and let the best person come in the life of Imah by bringing a beautiful impression that is possible, to be forgotten." Fatimah said that without feeling the details of her tears began to come out of the corner of the beautiful eyes, belonging to the beautiful girl.


It is hard to believe, Fatimah even asked for something where she had approached marriage. There was probably nothing else that Fatimah could do, other than accept everything that had happened.


...****************...


In a room that looks so beautiful with male characteristics. Exactly Reza's room, I don't know what Reza is thinking right now. Reza rubbed his face rough, "Akhh! Why does that girl show up every day, in my dreams? Like that girl, asking me to meet her. Only then will he disappear from this dream," muttered Reza with slight annoyance.


For three nights Reza could not sleep peacefully, often waking up to her dreams. In her dream Reza always saw a woman dressed in long clothes complete with her hijab. But what made him think was, he could not see his face because of the light that shone from the face of the girl. And when Reza wants to get to her, the girl always disappears.


That's why Reza always wakes up in the middle of the night. It was real, but it was just a dream. However, it seems real according to Reza.


Therefore, in these three days Reza looks not excited by his work in the office. Tired, that's what Reza feels due to a lack of rest.


Even the two parents of Reza often ask about the health of his son who in these three days is different, as if Reza does not have the spirit anymore.


Reza was pensive to think of his days as uninspired as before, and finally Reza remembered, when Alvian who had asked him prayers. Yes, Reza realized he was far from Allah SWT. For some reason Reza feels, now is the right time he thinks to get back on the right path and become a better person again.


"I will pray and pray to Allah SWT to ask for an answer to this dream which takes place in three consecutive days." Reza's determination is now round, he wants to ask for answers from every dream that makes him sleep less and not calm because of his curiosity, the figure of the girl who came in his dream.
