The meeting between the Reza and Ferdian Families did not end that afternoon. It turns out that there is still a lot to discuss, although in fact their conversation can continue outside the application event. For a moment the men went to the mosque to perform the dzuhur prayer, while the women prayed in the house of Karin only. Zaara was not praying at that time, so Ajeng entrusted Finn to the girl while he prayed together with his best friend, Karin..
Zaara held the heavy baby on her thigh. Finn's eyes glittered to see an accessory attached to Zaara's veil. His hands were so heavy that he played accessories that were in the shape of a flower and made of that cloth.
“Finn you are so funny!” said Zaara gnashly pinched gently on the white baby's puffed cheek. Zaara sat the baby down by moving her thighs, so Finn could jump around like he was riding a horse, with a rhythm that Zaara chanted from his mouth.
Not long after, a greeting greeted from the door. Arsene and Zayyan who had just come from the mosque entered the house. Arsene saw the girl playing with her little sister. Automatically Zaara stopped playing the rhythm from her mouth. Meanwhile Zayyan ran in a hurry while holding her stomach.
“Duh mules!” he shouted without question and immediately ran towards the bathroom.
Arsene sat in front of the girl while occasionally bowing. His heart felt awkward when before he did not feel this way when he was with her. Arsene took his cup of tea and finished it to reduce the awkwardness.
Similarly, with Zaara pretending to fix Finn's position on his lap, his heart hopes that his parents will come here to accompany them.
“I go back first huh?” pamit Zaara couldn't bear to go from there because it was just the two of them in the living room despite Finn.
“Finn is the same here,” Arsene exclaimed.
Zaara gave Finn to her brother, making their hands touch a little.
“Sorry!” arsene said while holding Finn by his waist.
Zaara just smiled a little, then stepped away towards the dining room to make sure the lunch menu they would eat afterwards.
Ajeng and Karin had finished the dzuhur prayer, so they returned to the living room.
“Well daddy hasn't come home?” ask the child.
“So chat first with the fathers there. Another moment comes maybe!” arsene gave his sister back to her mother.
He patted Finn's back, which was starting to fuss. “Mommy to the back first yes, if daddy search say again nyuin Finn!”
Arsene nodded and fell silent there. His mind floated, then smiled to itself. He did not expect it to be this fast to do the ta’aruf process and proceed to the next stage with Zaara. The marriage with the girl who was notoriously fierce during her High School was just counting months and weeks. Although he does not yet know whether to have a long-distance relationship with the girl or Zaara going on college leave and going with her to the Aussie. He should discuss this with Zaara immediately.
The beautiful fathers returned laughing after returning from the mosque. They said hello and went into the house. Hearing their heavy voices, Karin approached and invited everyone to enjoy the lunch before the conversation would resume. Ajeng put Finn in Zaara's room after the baby was full and fast asleep. Now they return to the living room and sit on the sofa after finishing lunch.
Their sitting position is still the same. The atmosphere is now warmer and liquid punctuated by small jokes from parents there, although still for two students the atmosphere is still too awkward.
“Someone wants to discuss again no, Brother?” ferdian asked his eldest son who was smiling.
Arsene.
“Udah do not need to tense, just relax, the application has been accepted!” said Ferdian thawed Arsene's mood, making the young man blush. The others just laughed.
“Ehm... anything I want to ask Zaara, Om!” arsene said bowed.
“Please!” reza responded.
“Umm... Will Zaara come with me to Aussie after marriage?” tanyanya looked at the girl whose cheeks looked red. “Given we will get married on H-3 before I leave. Or maybe there is another opinion?” continued.
Zaara fell silent. It is not easy to answer this question. Even the wedding date was just set. Arsene himself will not dispute Zaara's decision later.
“Can I answer this later?” asked Zaara while looking at the face of her future husband.
“Alright!” Arsene nodded.
Zaara looked at her father. He knows that college is not cheap. His own family is not a wealthy family like the Arsene family who come from a successful business family. His father's income was indeed enough to finance their current life. But if you have to burden his father again by taking two semesters of leave, of course, he feels uncomfortable. Zaara was downcast, she remembered her life proposal that promised to finish college on time in 4 years or even less. What a tough choice, would Arsene mind if they had to have a long-distance relationship? He should think about it later, though,
“Oh yes related to dowry how? Do you want to be determined now?” ask Ferdian this time.
“Where's Neng?” ask Reza to her daughter.
“It will also I think later Om!” Zaara opened her phone and noted what should be her concern.
“So we each have a job! Maybe let Mommy and Umi Karin take notes. Bridal needs list, guest invitation list, decoration theme, catering, invitation, souvenir. Do you want prewedding photos?” ask Ajeng.
“It looks like there are, but it may be separate. Unlike other couples.” Karin answered.
“Oh yes, similar wedding Orange and Kevin yes?”
“Well yes! Kan the concept of the wedding is Islamic.”
“OK deh, we obrolin later huh Rin?!”
For a moment Reza went from there to his study and took two books of his own and his wife's first, then returned to the living room. Then the man sat back down, handing the book over to his son and Arsene.
“This is your provision during this preaching process yes. Please read it carefully and respond. Marriage is not easy, but as long as you prepare yourself with faith and knowledge, God willing you will be able to live it. You are still young, maybe emotions and ego will dominate it enough. Don't lose to him. Remember, give it back to God. Wedding exams in the beginning are always there.” Reza gave advice to the two young people while giving a book called ‘Kado Marriages’.
Arsene looked at the book, there was a new PR for him.
“Still, Om!” arsene.
“Sama-sama. May God bless us all!”
“Aamiiin..!” say everything.
Canda and laughter again adorn the forum of the simple friendship. Ajeng asked about the theme of the decoration that will likely be used on Zaara and what his favorite color. Zaara likes neutral colors like broken white, light brown, ash, and salem. Zaara gave all the necessities of her wedding reception to her future mother-in-law, because she believed Ajeng had a good taste for party decorations. Moreover, the men who will finance the wedding are bigger, considering the Ferdian family will invite many guests.
Suddenly the sound of the motor outside stopped in front of the fence. They are still busy discussing the wedding plans.
“You sure you will stay alone after marriage?” tanya Ajeng, her voice sounded very loud.
But that question has not been answered, because someone managed to surprise them all.
“Assalamu’alaikum,” a handsome and fashionable man standing at the door while carrying a box.
“Wa’alaikumsalam.” All shocked looked at that face, who also wore a surprised expression that was not playing.
Who her?
