The Gema Shahadah Aisyah
Exam Before Marriage

In addition to her busy work on graduation preparation and wedding preparation, Aisyah took the time to meet her best friend while looking for a place for her boutique. Three friends Aisyah is also willing to help find a place to be used as Aisyah boutique later. At first Aisyah was not serious about her dream of having a boutique because in the end she had to work in her papa office. But now Jaya has given freedom so Aisyah tried seriously with her dream. Actually Aisyah was sad because she could not fulfill her parents' desire to continue the business that had been built with difficulty but she had no choice. Aisyah is not entitled to jump into her papa business, she has to start her own business.

They found some suitable places for Aisyah boutique after touring Banyuwangi since morning. Aisyah still has to ask for the opinion of papa and her more experienced mama about this.

When the Adhan was heard they stopped at the mosque to establish the dhuhur prayer. Then they went to the restaurant for lunch. Aisyah treated her three best friends as an expression of gratitude because they had helped her.

"Can't you have an expensive penny?" Khanza flipped through the menu book.

"Can." Aisyah happily allowed them to order any menu, besides it was not a fancy restaurant, the menus provided were also not too expensive.

"I recommend their honey-baked shrimp, it's one of the best sellers here." Gracia pointed at one of the menus.

"Garlic Chicken is good too." Aisyah added.

"Well, we've already pesen that."

Aisyah raised her hand calling the waiter and then mentioned the order. They chose Lemon Tea for the drink, fitting in with today's hot weather.

"Gracia want to continue S2 after this?" Ask Ayana to Gracia.

"The plan is I will take fashion design in Semarang."

"I envy you." Timpal Aisyah, it's a pity that he can not study in the design department. He only deals with Accounting, Financial Planner, Economics, Business Law, Finance and all things that are full of numbers. Aisyah could not see the beauty in her majors.

"You run first, I just want to start."

Their chatter halted for a moment as the waiter ushered the order to the table. A large plate of shrimp with a seasoning dressing still puffing smoke is really tempting taste plus garlic-studded chicken and warm rice. It was perfect to end their meeting today.

"I heard Ustadz Umar and Ning Hilya's proposal was off." Ayana said, he always had the latest information about Umar who became his idol for a long time. Not only himself but almost everyone who is usually present in the study must idolize Umar. Umar's soft and easy-to-understand presentation made his study feel pleasant bonus handsome face he had. "He wants to marry another girl" she said." Added.

"Oh yeah?" Khanza said it was shocking news because everyone knew the match between Umar and Hilya. They will be the most harmonious couple, both the nanny of boarding schools and the memorizer of the Qur'an. "When they are very compatible."

Aisyah coughed at that, she immediately grabbed her lemon tea and drank it until she had half a glass left. His eyes were watering as well as his nose. It sounded painful but they were not wrong, Umar and Hilya were indeed compatible, Aisyah also admitted that.

"Atalie, are you okay?" Gracia touched Aisyah's shoulder.

Aisyah shook her head slowly, she lost her appetite soon after hearing Ayana and Khanza's words. Though Aisyah planned to tell them about Umar's proposal some time ago. But now how did Aisyah tell them.

"Who's the girl?" Khanza asked after Aisyah's cough subsided.

"Definitely no better than Ning Hilya."

"Why is that?"

"There is indeed something better than Ning Hilya, beautiful, sholehah, memorized the Qur'an, successor to the boarding school, I said beautiful because he had met when he had not used a veil."

Aisyah grew shrill, she was filled with flowers since Umar proposed to her at that time but now the flowers have withered. The withered flower that made Aisyah's chest very tight, hurt but she could not cry at least in front of her best friend.

"Aisyah was also at that time when she had met Ning Hilya right?" Ayana looked at Aisyah who had been silent from earlier.

"Yes." Yeah." The voice of Aisha. He glanced at his phone as the screen lit up displaying Mas Umar's name along with a short message.

Aisyah where, Ummi made a lot of rujak soto and asked me to take her to your house so you can taste it.

Aisyah grabbed her phone and typed a reply for Umar.

Ummi's cooking must be delicious but now I'm eating out.

I'm almost there.

Aisha immediately got out of her seat after reading Umar's message. He did not want Umar waiting for him.

"Why did you suddenly come home?" Khanza, Ayana and Gracia saw Aisyah's departure. They were confused because Aisyah suddenly left after reading the message on her phone. They had time to say thank you whether Aisyah heard it or not.

Aisyah drove her car at high speed through a fairly crowded street that afternoon. Khanza's words were still ringing in Aisyah's ears, heard over and over again making Aisyah want to get angry. But at whom he would be angry because Khanza's sentence was not wrong.

From a distance Aisha saw Umar and a man in front of her house. Umar did not come alone. After getting closer Aisyah found out that it was one of the students in the boarding school Adz-Zaidan, she had seen it several times while she was still in the cottage.

"Sorry, I'm from the outside." Aisyah got out of her car, "don't you come in?" He saw Umar holding a food container wrapped in a plastic bag.

"I just want to give you this." Umar offered the food he brought to Aisha.

Aisyah smiled, whether the food signified that Maryam had given her the blessing to marry Umar. Aisyah please do. Ayesha no matter how many people opposed her relationship with Umar as long as their parents approved of her, she would not give up.

"Thank you very much, tell Ummi as well."

"You crying?"

"Hm?" Aisyah spontaneously rubbed her eyes, she was indeed crying on the way here from the restaurant. Only after seeing Umar, Aisha again convinced herself that she was the girl chosen by Umar. There's nothing to worry about excessively. "No."

Umar knew Aisyah was lying because she could see traces of tears on the girl's face.

"Who are you eating out with?" Umar read Aisha's message just as she arrived, Aisha said she was eating outside.

"Sama Gracia, Ayana and Khanza."

"Aisha, the test ahead of the wedding is tough but I hope you are strong against it, you are not alone."

Aisyah's smile slowly rose, as the source of the springs—kalimat Umar made the originally withered Ayesha flowers now come back fresh.

"Where with Mas Umar, it will not be easy for you either."

"Why say that, it's not at all difficult I'm just very grateful."

Look Ayesha, there is nothing you need to worry about. You deserve to marry Umar.

"Well, if there's anything, don't hesitate to talk to me." Umar knew Aisyah was not easy to share her story with others but she wanted to be the most comfortable place and a good listener for Aisyah.

"Yes, Mas Umar went in first yuk." Invite Aisyah, she also can't stand holding a hot container in her hand.

"No need, I just want to send the food, you have never eaten rujak soto right?"

"Never." Aisyah even just heard the name of the food, she did not know if rujak and soto could be put together in the same container.

"May you like."

"Definitely like." Aisyah sure if Maryam's cooking must be delicious, the type of grass that is cooked just Aisyah likes it, meaning grass named genjer.

"If so, excuse me."

"Be careful on the road, thank you again." Aisyah smiled at Umar.

Umar said his greetings after riding on a motorcycle.

"Sir, please get in the car." Pinta Aisyah at the security guard who is ready to stand guard at the post near the gate. He could not wait to taste the rujak soto with Daniel and his mama.
