The car owned by Rafatar, has turned into the courtyard of the magnificent house that Ala had visited before. This time, Ala felt a really great thump. The experience of the incident came back to haunt him.
The car had stopped, and Rafatar was staring at Ala's bleached face. "Are you scared?"
Ala smiled wryly. In his heart, he did not stop thinking so that he could feel calmer. Ala shook her head.
"You wait a moment, let me open the door for you." Rafatar opened the door and ran over to open the door for Ala.
Ala looks stiff by Rafatar's treatment which somehow becomes too sweet like this. "You want to walk alone or do you want me to go?" goda Rafatar's.
Ala shook her head thinly bowing her face. Rafatar smiled thinly because he had guessed this from the beginning. This girl was completely different from anyone she knew.
Rafatar is not a child who was raised in an Islamic way like Ala. He is also not a santri who memorizes many verses. However, since Ala became his ideal type, at least now he has been more steeped in religious knowledge.
Moreover, after he was appointed CEO of the company in the field of Hajj and Umrah tour and travel.
Inevitably he had to dig deeper into the science of religion, and the procedures of Hajj and Umrah procedures are correct, in addition to how to marketing so that many pilgrims who make his company as the best choice.
"Alah, you calm down. Everything will be fine" Rafatar said again.
Ala nodded her head, smiling faintly. Rafatar opened his door without knocking. "Assalamualaikum" said Rafatar.
"Assalamualaikum" Ala repeated.
"Walaikumsalam" said a middle-aged woman emerging from inside this magnificent house.
Deghs
Ala's heart gets a little flick when she hears the voice that answers the call.
"Well, is it here?" said Ama put on a friendly smile to Ala.
Ala greeted the woman with great respect. "How are you, Ama? Is it healthy?" ask Ala gently.
"Yes, Alhamdulillah. You can see for yourself, right?" Venna looked down at Ala from top to bottom.
Ala's face looks blushing white, without makeup that is too conspicuous. 'Her 'skincare definitely from an expensive doctor's clinic, ' her inner self.
Then, Ama's vision moved to the scarf worn by Ala. Apparently, it's a thing with a standard price. 'Hmmm, not expensive, and not cheap either.'
Then, the same thing he did was pay attention to the clothes, shoes, which Ala used. Then, his forehead slightly wrinkled realizing there was less. 'He deliberately didn't use what bag?'
Rafatar, as if aware of the mother's behavior, began to feel annoyed again. "Ekhem ...." He deliberately throttled making the mother jerk.
"Hmm, have you eaten yet?" venna asked a clumsy smile glancing at the child.
"Alhamdulillah, Mother. We ate at home" said Ala.
"Are you eating at home?' Venna puts emphasis on the word home.
Ala realizes the oddities shown by Rafatar's mother. "Yes, Ma. At home."
"You think you ate out with Rafatar?" He glanced at the son.
Rafatar widened his eyes and shook his head telling his mother to stop doing this ridiculous thing.
Ala glanced at Rafatar. He was uncomfortable with the treatment of this man's mother. Rafatar gave the code hand hanging.
"Ma, what exactly did Mama call Ala here for?" Rafatar tried to remind the mother of what she had told her son earlier in the office.
"Oh yes, sorry .. sorry. Your name is Ala, right?" ask Ama back.
"Yes, Ama," answered Ala briefly.
"Ama would like to apologize to you for all the words Ama who had offended some time ago" said Ama.
Ala nodded forcing her lips to smile. "Yes, Ma. I've forgiven from far away" he said slowly.
"Then, if you may know, how old are you right now?"
This question is still common, Ala can still give with a smile. "Twenty-five years, Ma."
"Well, so you're a lot younger than Fatar, huh? When did you get married, when did you get divorced, what was the reason you got divorced?"
Rafatar's forehead frowned when he heard the series of questions. "Ma?" Rafatar reminded the mother not to go off track again.
Meanwhile, Ala's face had been bowed not knowing how to say to Rafatar's mother. He remembered that he had just left her with his family at home.
"I'm sorry, Ama was just curious. If you do not want to answer it also does not matter" said Ama glanced at her son who stared intently.
"Sorry, Ma. But I feel these questions are a bit sensitive. I hope Ama can understand that there are some better things not discussed here."
Rafatar brought himself closer to Ala, "Sorry, La," he whispered with a guilty face.
"Ma, we should respect the privacy of others. There are some things that we do not need to know or discuss here. The important thing now is that we will support each other and build a good relationship between our families."
Ama pondered for a moment, realizing that she had gone beyond the limits with her questions. He nodded, "You're right, Fatar. Forgive Ama, this is not Ama's intention to hurt or interfere in your personal affairs. Ama just wants to make sure that you're happy without anyone feeling s4kiti and dis4kiti."
Ala smiled, appreciating Ama's apology. "Thank you, Ma. I understand Ama's good intentions. What's important now is that we support each other and create happiness together."
Ama took her breath. His lips were smashed with a meaningful smile. "It turns out, Ala this guy patiently wear really?" said Ama.
"But Ama don't keep testing this dong?" rafatar sewot.
"Ama just wanted to make sure of something" Venna said.
Ala smiled while shaking her head. "I'm sorry, Ama, if I keep making Ama worried or confused. I just want to keep something that doesn't need to be discussed. However, Ala thanked Ama for her care and concern."
Rafatar looked at Ala softly and added, "Ma, we should understand each other and respect each other's personal boundaries. That's important in a healthy and happy relationship."
Ama nodded in understanding. "You're right, Fatar, Ala. Ama accepts and respects your decision. Sorry if Ama digs into your privacy too much. What matters now is the happiness of you two. Ama will support you completely."
Rafatar heard the mother's statement immediately sumringah. "So Ama will support us fully? If I said I wanted to get Ala married, would you?"

The two men smiled at each other in the car. This time, they will return to Ala's house. Ala hopes that all members of her ex-husband's family will no longer be there.
This time, they will look for Ummi to beg Ummi's blessing to allow him to marry immediately. Because, Rafatar's mother had agreed, but asked to be made salamak quite a lot, because they are a very large family group.
"Assalamualaik." Ala knocked on the door of the house with a thumping heart. Ummi opened the door with a friendly smile on his face.
"Girishalah, Ala. How are you doing? What's going on?" tanya Ummi with warmth.
Ala welcomed Ummi's smile with a relieved heart. "Thank God, everything's fine, Ummi. Ala wants to talk about something important."
Ummi invites Ala into the house. They sit in a cozy living room, where a calm atmosphere fills the room.
"Ummi, the two of us have decided to get married. We have received the blessing of Rafatar's mother. We have come here to ask for the blessing and prayers of Ummi" Ala said carefully.
Ummi listened attentively. His eyes were full of warmth and understanding. After a moment of thought, Ummi smiled gently.
"Ala, of course Ummi is supporting you and Rafatar. Ummi also saw sincere love from his eyes. If this is God's will, then Ummi certainly gives you the best blessing and prayer" Ummi said in a soft voice.
Tears flowed down Ala's cheeks. He felt the burden he had long borne begin to lift. "Thank you, Ummi. We promise to keep this relationship well and happy, God willing," Ala answered gratefully.
Ummi stretched out his hand, grasping Ala's hand gently. "May Allah bless your marriage, give you happiness, and bestow sustenance and success in life. I will always wish you both the best."
Ala and Ummi threw smiles at each other and embraced affectionately. A feeling of relief and happiness filled their hearts. They know that their struggle has paid off, and they are ready to face the future with love and happiness.

Without lingering wait time, one week later, the marriage contract was implemented. Rafatar's hand appears to be in a relationship with the judge's guardian, as a replacement for Abi who has died.
"I accept the marriage and marriage of Humaira Fii Jannah with the dowry paid tuuuunaaai," said Rafatar with a single lafaz.
"Well!"
"Well!"
Ala, who heard the fluent lafaz, dropped tears on her cheeks. "Thank God, O Allah. Bless our marriage this time. If there is a stumbling block, it is easy for us to live it. Hopefully, this time we are a couple of the world and the hereafter," Ala prayed sitting behind with Ummi.
After that, Ala is escorted to sit next to her husband, kissing Rafatar's hand, avenged by Rafatar's kiss.
From outside the door of the mosque where the marriage contract was carried out, a man was listening to what had just clearly echoed in his ears, even though his eyes could not see.
"Humaira, how easily have you forgotten me? Then, what about me?"
