The Bitter Three's
Dating Preparation

Hanifah woke up at 11 p.m. because she heard a short message notification from her phone. He squinted to look at the phone screen and was stunned for a moment.

It turns out from Galuh.

The man sent her a short message.

"Can I have lunch?" As he asked the man.

Hanifah's cheeks instantly met red. But he did not immediately reply to Galuh's message. His brain immediately thought and finally his finger hesitated to answer.

Not that he didn't want to. But he doesn't know what to do. This is clearly a date. Hanifah felt she did not have proper clothes to wear while walking with Galuh.

Also,

What is this trembling feeling?

His heart was beating fast and his fingers felt stiff. He wanted to type 'okay mas' but why did it feel so hard.

Does he need David's permission to walk with Galuh? Today is Monday, usually people in the office are busy. Hanifah doesn't feel good if she bothers David just to ask Galuh for lunch.

But, uh,

Duh, what am I answering? This heart feels that the world is very beautiful, will I be able to eat well if I accept Mas Galuh's invitation? This is it my stomach feels stirred! Inner Hanifah was nervous.

Then again a short message notification from Galuh.

"I've given Mr. David permission to take you, yes,"

The message was accompanied by a screen shot of the contents of the conversation between Galuh and David.

I am so glad that Hanifah's heart. He got the blessing of David. Turns out Galuh was gentle enough to know the portion.

Again he read David's reply to Galuh.

Okay, please. Please take care of Hanifah for me.

As soon as the reply message from David to Galuh.

"Iiihhhh," exclaimed Hanifah as she buried her face into the pillow. He's too happy!

Oh, my God, I'm overreacting! Think Hanifa

But the woman realized, is this what it's like to date a person who really likes?

When walking with David in public places he never felt as happy as this nausea. David did treat her gently, but her aura felt uncomfortable. Cold and squeaky. The supposed fun sightseeing event even became a disinclined event.

What about Galuh?

"Good, Mas. I get ready first," finally so reply Hanifah.

"After Dzuhur I picked ya up. We might go to the Mall, I want to take you to a Japanese restaurant, all looking for a new menu reference," Galuh wrote.

Hanifah nodded in satisfaction with a short message from Galuh.

David and Suleyman used to say 'look at it later' when asked about the location.

But Galuh told him at the beginning. That the restaurant they will visit is in the mall. So Hanifah can better adjust her clothes and makeup.

What will he wear this time? Yesterday when he wore a casual dress, Galuh praised him. It seemed like the man liked the practically stylish woman.

Then suddenly Hanifah's mind drifted, to the figure of Susan. It sucks, but it happens automatically.

The cold Galuh could be enamored with the provocative Susan.

Hanifah admitted that Susan's style, although open and looks inappropriate, sexy and looks uncomfortable, even as a fellow Hanifa woman was uncomfortable seeing Susan repeatedly raise her cleavage, which she did, lowering her skirt to make her panty invisible, or walking carefully because her high heels are so taper and afraid to tuck in, yet somehow all of that feels right in Susan.

Does Galuh like women in a modern style and are free to be yourself? Know what you want, understand yourself fully and most importantly, love yourself? Susan is a narcissist. But the woman always quibbles, start by loving yourself next you will be able to love others naturally without pressure.

Now, Hanifah thinks that Susan didn't give a nonsense sentence. Hanifah had already practiced it, and it turned out that it was all true. Galuh did not take it lightly, even getting closer. And unfortunately, the approaching is not only Galuh.

Hanifah expressed herself in the mirror.

What's less this time? It will complete it.

How-to? Moreover, they will go to the mall. There are a lot of women there, a lot of people. It feels inappropriate not to dress up, although Hanifah is very sure Galuh will not dispute the style of dress.

So, what can I do ...

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mas David?" Greet Hanifah, " Am I interrupting?"

The greeting of Hanifah was not immediately reciprocated by David. From the background across the phone, Hanifah could estimate David was in a closed room with many people gathered. Maybe some kind of seminar or conference.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. What was? Please talk a little quickly. You should just send WA if it's important" David said.

Right, Hanifah's disturbing. But already contacted. It would be upset if he hung up the phone and said: it's okay. So Hanifah has to go forward even if trivial.

"Sorry, Mas. I know this is supposed to be haram. But I think with Mas David's permission, it won't be anything. Can I dress up with makeup other than at home, because I will meet Mas Galuh and we want to go to the mall?"

"Huh?" grunts David. "You called me just to talk about it?"

"Yes Mas. I know it's trivial. But to me, it's a sin of the fingers,"

"ah! Right too," David sounded paused his sentence. "Hanifah, for now do not dress up first. It makes no sense to give permission. I love you the same way Galuh already nyeleneh. But if Galuh deengan gentle meets me, face to face like Raka, to ask you, then I can allow,"

Hanifah sighed. This time, David was right.

"Good, Mas. Sorry to interrupt,"

-----***-----

"Assalamu'alaikum, Mas" greeted Hanifah with a gentle smile as Galuh's car arrived in front of David's gate.

Galuh looked stunned to see Hanifah, "Eh, Wa'alaikumsalam, Mbak," heed Galuh finally.

Hanifah got into the car in the passenger seat in front, and put on her seatbelt. Then try to sit casually as comfortable as possible, even though his heart is pounding fast.

Galuh seemed to notice it.

"What's up, Mom?" ask Hanifah.

"You are beautiful" said Galuh.

Duh, why does it feel like the world is immediately brightly lit? Inner Hanifah shy.

He did not dress up and wear his usual clothes.

"Can I be beautiful today? How is it usually?" hanifah Fishing.

"So, like something's different. Your hijab is patterned,"

Uh! Just because it turned out. Yes, this satin hijab from the Turkish Ottoman model that Hanifah has never worn because it is impractical. Hanifah prefers to wear a hijab that is modeled bergo and covers up to the waist. The cloth that Hanifa was currently using only covered up the chest.

"I just try to be different, because I can't dress up. We're going to the mall so I think I have to look more modern" Hanifah said.

"Oh, I really like the style of Mbak Hani now. But it seems I prefer that Mbak Hani is just plain-style. Because it doesn't feel willing if your sweet face is seen by many people besides me" said Galuh.

How it feels! Hanifah was stunned in regret.

Yep, yeah,

It should be just plain dress up.

Because Galuh apparently likes it as it is.

"Mas Galuh spoke as if he were my husband" Hanifah murmured.

"Hehe, that's my hope,"

"Then, why don't you ask Mas David yourself?"

Galuh.

Signal from Hanifa.

"Later in the afternoon I will ask Mr. David time to talk about it. Now we eat first,"
