The Bond of Destiny
Zidan's Shortcomings

Zee and Zidan still hugged tightly as the two middle-aged men who had just entered shortly after performing maghrib prayers at their hospital musholla.

The two middle-aged were stunned to find the four people in the room sobbing and sniffling at each other.

"What's wrong?" abi Raga asked everyone.

Ummi Ira just shook his head. "There is no By. Just remembering about our daughter who had been abused.. Not just our daughter, By. Zidan also experienced it when he was first grade Junior High." lirih Ummi Ira more and more sobbing.

"What?!" exclaimed Abi Raga while looking at her daughter-in-law who is still as hot as her eldest daughter.

"Astaghfirullah O Allah.. It turns out that both of our children have experienced the same bitter experience.." lirih Papa Reza also.

He approached Mama Rani and hugged her. Mama Rani still sobbing. While the two people were still hugging each other tightly.

Zidan broke his embrace and cupped Zee's face to look at her. Still with sobbing and his head back dizzy deed too crying, Zidan tried to talk to Zee who was now looking at him with tears in his eyes.

"You ask, would you treat you like the man who was once your future husband? No darling. My brother wouldn't be like that! Brother is looking for a wife who can be taken to heaven by Allah SWT. Not as a lustful indulgence. For a husband and wife relationship, we must do it! There is no prohibition for that. And brother married you not because of your face, Ziara. Except because you love you.."

The deg!

The deg!

"W-what?! Loving me?? Since when?!" tanay Zee was shocked by Zidan's answer to his question.

Zidan smiled, "Since he first met you at the mosque of the Abang housing complex. When you came with Mami uh Oma Alisa means." Zidan replied which made Zee even more surprised with a gaping mouth

Zidan chuckled small. He gently stroked Zee's delicate cheeks. All that did not escape the attention of four middle-aged people at that age.

"But.. How can Bang? We just met??" zee still does not believe in Zidan's words.

Zidan chuckled again. He was very anxious to see the face of Zee who was now like a child who was demanding an answer from him.

"You know what is Istikharah prayer dear?"

"Abang asked God to be intertwined with a good girl from a good family. Which indeed Abang wantedlan to knit despair to reach the paradise of His God. Every night asked God to be met with the girl if you were still given the opportunity to build a household. And yes, after getting a clue through a dream that is you... So when Mama and Oma betrothed us both Brother immediately accepted. Brother saw you like that because you are exactly like the girl you saw in your dream the day before we met. Therefore you already love you when you first see you in the dream. Not wrong, is it?" It was clearly Zidan who made Zee even more gaping when he heard the explanation from Zidan, her husband.

Abi Raga and Papa Reza chuckled at that. "It's already my son. Let's eat first. Sister just delivered food for you to eat. And take the medicine. Come on over here." Papa Reza said to Zidan, who was taken by Zidan.

"Yes Pa. Moment ago. There was one more thing that Ziara had to know about Brother."

Zee looked closely at Zidan again. "What Bang? What do I need to know about you?" Inner Zee voiced

Zidan smiled again pqda Zee. "Do hope you are not disappointed if one day we can not have offspring!"

The deg!

Zee's heart was pounding. "I mean??" zee asked, getting curious.

Zidan again and again smiled gently at him. "Former, baby.."

Dddduuuuaar!!!

"What?!" zee shouted so surprised

Zidan closed his eyes so hard Zee shouted before him.

Zee's face suddenly turned pale. "Yes-so.. Yeah-who A-abang said was short on time to propose to me first, is this??" Zidan nodded with a sad face.

Zee limps for a moment. "Yes Allah.. Bang's!"

Grep's!

Zidan.
