Meet a Mate at Grandpa Pesantren
178. preaching
Dania really can't sleep, her heart is not calm. Dania kept going back and forth on the bed. He was so confused and nervous, though everyone welcomed Khalid's proposal. And it's a lie that Dania isn't happy to be proposed by ustad Khalid but she's also confused.
Dania also tried to pray istikharah first before solidifying into his decision. He hoped that God would answer all his doubts.
*****
At ten o'clock in the morning Khalid came with Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt Zafra, Om Alif and his son and the great Ustad and Ridho to the house of Dania's adoptive parents.
They were all currently gathered in the living room, Dania who was sitting next to the Mommy was so Nervous and cold sweat drenched her palms. Fortunately Mommy knew the nervousness that Dania was feeling. Mommy continues to hold Dania's hand as if hinting that everything will be fine.
" Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, Thank you before for Gus Gibran and family. Who has welcomed us, Our arrival here actually wants to deliver Nak Khalid. He wanted to convey something to Gus Gibran and his family. Come on Khalid." Ustad Agung.
" Bismilbornrahmanirrahim, I apologize in advance that my arrival and others have disturbed the Gus Gibran Family. And my coming here actually has good intentions that is. I want to preach Dania to be my wife, my life partner, to be my mother and to be the mother of my children." Khalid tried to stare at Gibran, his opa Dania and also one man of Gibran's age Mas Radit her husband her brother Ustad Gibran.
" Maybe I'm too fast because Dania herself is still in school. But I also do not want to continue to cultivate sin because it continues to look at Dania. Ask me when I loved Dania. From the first time I came to the boarding school when Kyai Ibrahim and his wife died. And almost a year ago I tried to wait for Dania to graduate. But because almost every time I visited I even felt more piling up sins."
" I'm sorry that my parents are not accompanying me and when their official application is coming." Khalid.
" Thank you Khalid for falling in love with my daughter. Actually, I am not entitled to accept the arrival of Ustad Khalid. Because I'm just a foster parent and the more entitled is her brother but because currently Sakti is studying abroad. But I've told you about Khalid's intention to come here." said Ustad Gibran.
" And if for the answer to his sermon Ustad Khalid I submit it entirely to Dania herself. Come on, Dania give me your answer, son."
Dania looks up to Mommy and her Deddy, after getting a nod from Mommy and her Deddy. Dania opened her voice to answer her decision.
" Bismilbornrahmanirrahim, thank you for taking heart from Ustad Khalid. But honestly it's too soon for me, I'm sorry in advance when Khalid's old man comes." Ask Dania
" The day after tomorrow they've just arrived."
" If possible Dania will answer it later as soon as there are both parents Ustad Khalid. Dania has a reason why she is not currently giving her answer. Honestly just last night Dania prayed istikharah. And Allah gave the answer. But allow Dania to perform the Istikharah prayer again. So that Dania can strengthen Dania's heart." Saying politely.
" How's Khalid's son?." Ask Abi.
" God willing I don't mind and Wednesday I will come again with my parents. Hopefully the answer will be best for me" said Khalid.
Finally, they ate the food that was prepared. After eating and chatting for a while while Khalid, Ustad Ridho and the great ustad came home.
For Abi, Umi, Zafra and his family remain in Khayra's house. Because after this they'll go to his cousin Gibran's seven-month birthday.
On the way home the Great Ustad and Ridho's ustad continued to encourage Khalid.
Until Khalid's house immediately rushed to call his parents to come to Indonesia immediately.
" Assalamualaikum."
" Greetings Abi."
" How do you want an answer from Dania?." Ask Rashid, Abinya Khalid.
" Dania has not given the answer Abi but God willing he will answer when Khalid will come with Khalid bi's parents. Abi is the same Umi so come here."
" God willing, tomorrow we'll go, so you just set what day we're going to the house of Dania. Let me later you can prepare the need to apply."
" Khalid told you Wednesday bi."
" Well, believe me, he wants time to answer not because he wants to refuse, but he wants to strengthen his heart."
" Yes Abi, Dania also said like that she had done Istikharah prayer and had got the answer. But since he's only done it once so he's not sure about bi."
" Yet if you want to leave Abi will tell you."
" Yes, greetings to Umi and all. Assalamualaikum."
" Yes, Abi will say, Walaikum salam."
After calling Abinya Khalid decided to rest. Because from last night he did not sleep well Khalid was afraid that he would be rejected by Dania.
