The charm of Ayra Khairunnisa
2. THE REJECTION OF BRAMANTYO PREDIPTA
Kyai Rohim's voice sounded quite loud. Mr. Erlangga's family looks shocked to hear the words of the kyai. Bram also raised his eyeballs.
Mr. Erlangga was curious to open his first voice in front of Kyai Rohim.
"Sorry sir, but how do you know about our son's name. Our feelings haven't introduced ourselves to anyone here."
Mr. Erlangga looked at Kyai Rohim questioningly. While Bram looks more relaxed, because the soul of an entrepreneur. Then it was easy for him to keep an expression of shock. Not a difficult thing for the CEO of MIKEL Group engaged in palm oil exports.
"And I didn't know that today something like this would happen. We are only small creatures on this earth Mr. Erlangga. Everything is arranged, we can only try and pray. I have also prayed for my soul mate, it turns out fate says otherwise. And now I'm trying to get a soul mate for one of my best students, by proposing to your son."
Kyai Rohim opens one by one the glass jars on the table, and allows his guests to taste the cakes and sweets in the jars.
Mr. Erlangga and his wife nodded in response to Rohim's polite demeanor. Mr. Erlangga also glanced at his eldest son who had been very calm and his face was still very cold like an indifferent person with the request of Kyai Rohim.
"I as a parent gave it to our son for the father's request just now. Our arrival here actually just want to convey the trust of the bridegroom who was the victim of the accident earlier. I didn't expect that you would propose to our son."
Mr. Erlangga looked at Bram who did not budge from his seat even his son was still staring at kyai Rohim like a person playing chess who would choose a piece to move.
"Ehm. Um."
"Is that not the manner of your disciple, Mr. Kyai? so you asked this guy you just met to marry him? was the man who gave the ring her future husband?"
Bram looked at Kyai Rohim with a sharp look. Luckily Burhan wasn't in the room, the student of Rohim's kyai faith would usually be rude to anyone he considered impolite to his teacher. Of course his actions were without the knowledge of Kyai Rohim.
Kyai Rohim is famous for his simplicity, his ever-humble demeanor, respecting differences, upholding honesty and always maintaining tolerance in religion. Even Kyai Rohim has a spirit of nationalism so high. Because at his boarding school every Monday is always placed to fly the red and white flag even though the students wear sarongs and gowns.
Kyai Rohim smiled and laughed slightly before responding to Bram's reply.
"It is precisely because she has so many people who want to ask her, that I see you as a worthy man to be her husband. We have just met, but in my prayer some time ago Gusti God gave a signal. That Amir is one of the soul mates for my santri. And the message of Amir is one of the answers to my every prayer and prayer.
That who deserves to be her husband is you. It is beautiful how God shows our soul mate even though sometimes we prefer it from our point of view. Not God's point of view. Didn't the man who left this ring say that I have the right to find a mate who deserves to replace him as a bride today?"
Kyai Rohim took the peanuts that were in the jar, he opened and ate them one by one.
"I'm sorry Mr. Kyai, I'm not interested in your santri. I'm just here to deliver the ring, not to marry your santri. Please find someone else. This is not the time of Siti Nurbaya where people must get married because they are betrothed and without love. I have my own candidate!"
The tone of arrogance and anger was heard from Bram.
