My Neighbor My Honey
Matchmaking

When Mr. Maher saw ustadz Abah, his facial expression changed as if he was unexpected. He was shocked by what he saw before his eyes. An eye looks to remember a shadow of a long time. Haru's cry rippled following the sense of empathy he felt.

"My best friend .."he muttered.

From the glass barrier, Mr. Maher can immediately clearly recognize who the man who was lying helpless there.

"Zaki!? Isn't that Zaki!?"ask Mr. Maher to make sure.

Heard someone knew his brother's real name. Aya widened her eyes.

"Do you recognize my Abah?"

"Is he really named, Zaki?"asked Mr. Maher once again to make sure.

"Did you know those fathers?"ask Rey.

"He was papah Rey's best friend. Zaki is papa's best friend from childhood," said Mr. Maher did not believe he could meet his old friend again.

"Subhanallah, walhamdulilah, wala'ilahailallah, Allah hu akbar. Thank you to God who has reunited my father with my brother, I am happy to hear it," said Aya who heard if the father in front of him was a friend of his brother. Aya little know the story about between two friends who are very harmonious in his society.

"Are you Aya?"asked Mr. Maher to try to guess.

"Yes Om, I am Aya" Aya said as she lowered her gaze.

"Subhanallah, you turned out to be a very beautiful woman and a very beautiful girl. You used to be a very tomboyish childhood" said Mr. Maher reminiscing about the old times.

"Cih, pretty !? His face was covered like that ninja !! Where's the beauty!?"rey muttered inwardly feeling dislike.

"Ah, yes om. Alhamdulillah, all of this was educated from Abah," replied Aya.

"Ah yes, I understand. I also felt sad when I heard that Zaki's wife left after giving birth to you" Maher said.

While talking, a warning alarm from Abah's room sounded.

The worried Mr. Maher and Aya went inside to see firsthand the state of Ustadz Abah.

Ustadz Abah looked very weak and helpless. From his tongue is only the asthma of God that he chanted.

Now two old friends meet. Abah was very moved, finally left behind time he was still given the opportunity to see his old friend.

Mr. Maher who was staring at his best friend looked helpless, directly hugging Abah Zaki.

"Hic .. hik .. Zaki, what happened to you? Why are you lying up here?"said Mr. Maher who could not stand the longing.

Feeling that time was not long, while stammering Abah tried to ask Mr. Maher something.

"Ma-Maher my friend, is our agreement still in effect?"tanya Abah makes Aya and Rey ask.

Master Maher who remembered their agreement immediately smiled and nodded his head quickly.

"Of course Zaki's my best friend. My son Rey is two days away from turning 25. Of course our agreement is still valid," said Mr. Maher while holding tightly the hands of his best friend.

"Shu...Thank goodness, a. I think it's time. A. I can't take it anymore" said Ustadz Abah stammeringly.

"Change, what did Abah say? Abah must be strong, for Aya's sake!" said Aya looking at her brother very closely. Far from the bottom of his heart he could not afford to lose the only person he loved so much on this earth.

"Sorry sir, temporarily let the patient rest. His condition is now very deteriorating, only a miracle can restore it" said the doctor.

Aya was led out by the sisters. He wanted to scream loudly but he was unable to. His heart always called the name of Allah's asthma, he was very hopeful that God would do wonders to his brother who is now pale with a pulse that continues to decline.

...

Behind the veil, Aya's lips trembled violently when she heard Mr. Maher's explanation.

"What! how could papah make such a ridiculous promise!?Rey has a right to herself. Rey would not accept this match and marry this ninja woman. What papah did not see in the news, many veiled women who blew themselves up!! If they don't love themselves, what else are the people around them!" screeched Rey Maher in a fiery tone.

"Rey!! Keep talking to you. This match will still happen. Papah and Zaki have promised to set you up. If we meet and your age is not over 25 and you are not married, then the matchmaking still applies" said Mr. Maher.

"That ....!!!?"

"You guys talk, maybe you need some time to get acquainted. Papah will call upon the ruler and prepare for your marriage. Papa understands, this is what he wants left behind his time now," he continued, stepping foot to leave Aya and Rey.

Aya was still stuck in her shock until she herself was unable to speak.

"Sad..!! What's this ridiculous thing?" as Rey grumbled.

"Hey you?"call Rey with a cynical and hateful look.

"In addition to having no face, do you have no ears, or no mouth!" decak Rey was upset.

An adult mind was set in Aya's mind. He does not want to be rash in making decisions. Behind the veil and the head that lowered, and with a bismilah memorization, Aya tried to ventured.

"For the sake of Allah and his apostle, it is not an opportunity in narrowness, God willing I accept this match," Aya's voice rattled as she said something that would surely make Rey squeak.

Rey who had been staring intently at Aya added her strength to curse Aya even more.

"Are you crazy!!? If you need your father's medical expenses. You take it easy, I'll free up all the costs. Even if you want to take your father to America, I'll pay for all the bills" Rey said, trying to keep her voice from blaring in the hospital corridor.

This time, Aya raised her head and stared intently at Rey who was waiting for an answer from Aya.

"If this is just a joke, then I willingly refuse this matchmaking. Can't you see at all? My father was lying there waiting for a divine call that even great people in this world would not be able to dodge" said Aya filled with emphasis before he finally woke up and again subdued his gaze.

"I beg. If there must be a covenant, God willing I will accept it. For now, let destiny justify us in front of Abah. After that, we just think about how it goes," he continued with a towering resignation.

Rey thinks ...

"Well, with a deal that might incriminate you. Are you ready?"

Aya lowered her head. Marriage is no joke to him. But it seems like fate says something else. Aya squeezed the strong mucena that still covered her body.

"Bismilah, God willing me I am willing," said Aya with full resignation.

Rey smiled wryly, "Good, I will accept this matchmaking with some requirements that you have to sign. I hope you can keep your promise?" said Rey while leaving Aya to pick up a call that entered her phone.

..

The ring of jewels flowed following the strains of a heart that felt very painful. But Aya promised, this is for the sake of the father who had been struggling to make her happy. A guideline is not important when life is at stake. For the sake of his beloved father, Aya willingly had to play with a sacred promise sacred before the khalik.
