The reception took place lively, unfortunately only held until just before Maghrib. The guests had already left the party, leaving Adrian's workers to clean up the rest. Assisted by Alfin's employees, as well as the groom himself.
"Lho, Boss? Instead of rest, even get in order," chirped one of the employees when he saw Alfin appear in ordinary clothes.
"Well, when there were you guys I kept the same kelonan wife. Change if you come home" said Alfin made jealous some of those who are single.
"Yes, Boss. Make envious."
"Make it my wedding so don't bobo yourself." Alfin chuckled, grunting Joseph's face.
Once attracted to women, the boss's own wife. Joseph's heart murmured.
While inside the house, Adrian and Fatih's family gather. Discussing trivial things as a bond between them. Papah Naina rushed back after news that Biya had been found.
There, Biya sits separately, occasionally stealing glances at Alfin who laughs with his friends despite being unclear.
"Honey. Who's that for?" adrian asked when Naina came out with a drink on a tray.
"Make Alfin with his friends, Pah. Again help to clean up outside," Naina replied with a smile.
Biya's heart melos, it was only realized that the young ustadz had married. He turned and moved his seat, participating in everyone's chat. Naina walked over to where her husband was, smiling at their familiarity.
"Assalamualaikum! Rest first, this is a drink first," said Naina stopped their activities who were tidying up the chair.
"Wa'alaikumussalaam! Boss is understanding." They approached sitting together enjoying the orange juice made by Naina.
Alfin grabbed the wife's waist, pulling her closer. Although embarrassed, but Naina did not refuse.
"Suf, don't go home yet. There is something I want to discuss with you," said Alfin glanced at Joseph who was sipping his juice.
"What's the matter, boss? The opening is finished, just signed," replied Joseph a little confused.
"Well, not a job issue. I trust you guys, it's a personal matter." Alfin glanced at Naina, the woman smiled as their eyes met.
"Personal? What, huh? Don't be curious, boss. So deg-degan." Joseph held onto his chest, pounding slightly as he guessed what Alfin would say.
"Don't be groggy, Suf. Maybe you want to be betrothed to a woman, who knows you're married to quickly follow me to the Boss." Hamka, Alfin's treasurer, patted Joseph on the back.
Naina and Alfin chuckled, but kept the truth of Hamka's words a secret. A few moments of conversation, one by one they say goodbye to go home. It left Joseph sitting on the leash. Imagine that he will be king someday.
"Assalamualaikum, excuse me!" The sudden arrival of Fatih and Biya, jolts Joseph's daydream.
"Wa'alaikumussalaam! Yes, please!" The young man stood up, welcoming Fatih's helping hand.
His head nodded as he looked at Biya's bead. The girl looked more friendly than before.
"I just want to thank you for helping my sister" Fatih said with a smile.
Yusuf looked down with a smile, not thinking that Biya still remembered him.
"It's okay, sir. As Muslims we should help each other. His car broke down on a deserted road, I was just worried that someone was doing something fun" Yusuf replied honestly.
"You're a good young man. Nowadays, there is rarely anyone who wants to help others, let alone not know. Once again I say thank you" Fatih said praising the young man.
Joseph scratched his head, unwilling to accept the compliment.
Fatih shook her head, attracted to the youth's simplicity.
"Yes already. Why sit here alone, go inside, "take Fatih without hesitation.
"I'm waiting for my boss, sir. Let it be here while shadowing me who is the incantate." He chuckled to himself, greeted with laughter by Fatih and Biya.
"Boss? Who is your boss?" Biya asked curiously.
"Eh? That, Alfin's boss. He asked me not to come home with friends" Yusuf answered nervously at Biya's voice.
"Ustadz Alfin .. boss?" Fatih frowned, to the extent that Alfin was just a marbot in the mosque. The young Ustadz who teach kids to teach isn't a boss.
"Yes, Sir. He's the owner of where I'm collecting sustenance. Well, not famous, anyway, because all this time he lived in the mosque. So, no one knows if he is someone big" Yusuf explained as he scratched his head.
Fatih was slightly surprised, to the point of gulping her own saliva hearing the reality about Alfin. Likewise with Biya, his admiration increased in the young ustadz. However, he no longer has hope, because it is impossible to maintain a sense for someone who is already owned by others.
"Maa is Allah! I did not expect, all I knew so far was that Alfin was a njai teacher at the mosque. Turns out ...." Fatih shook his head in amazement. A great man prefers to sit in a mosque.
The Maghrib prayer paused their chatter. Yusuf went to a nearby mosque, while others prayed at home, including Alfin, with his wife.

"Sorry, Ustadz. Where's this young man that Ustadz wants to introduce to my sister?" fatih asked as they all gathered in the living room back.
"I'm sorry, sir. Don't call me Ustadz, call me Alfin. Now, we are, right, family. It's not that comfortable," Alfin said earnestly.
"Ah, yes, but it feels all because I have always called you ustadz," said Fatih sounded worried.
"Later on, right, ordinary. God willing, next week we will go to Jakarta. Want to make a pilgrimage to the mother's grave" Alfin said after discussing with Naina. All of you take Naina on vacation and honeymoon.
"Alhamdulillah, stop by our place at that time," Seira happily greeted.
"Yes, Mom. God willing we'll stop by." Naina smiled glancing at her husband warmly.
Ah, Biya's heart is hurting. Yet, deserving? Feels not.
"By the way you've met Yusuf?" Adrian went into the chat remembering Biya had come with Yusuf.
"Yusuf? Who?" Biya frowned confusedly.
"That's a young man who wants to be known to Auntie. His name is Yusuf" Naina explained.
The girl's lips formed a circle, recalling the young man who helped her. There was a desire to get to know more, but unfortunately he had agreed to be introduced to another man named Joseph.
Hhmm .. I forgot to ask her what her name was. Oh my God, shall we meet again? I wanted to thank him and ask him what his name was.
Biya's heart murmured, his prayer was addressed directly by the Supreme Owner of Love.
"Assynnya!"
"Wa'alaikumussalaam! That's Joseph!"
