35. Requesting Permission

For three days, Joseph was in Makassar. This morning, she was preparing to go to Yasmin's house to ask her father for permission to allow her to do ta'arruf with her daughter.

Actually Yusuf wants to directly propose to Yasmin today, however, he wants to give the opportunity to Yasmin to get to know her first, considering Yasmin only knew her a few days ago.

"Alhamdulillah finally.. Ummi was very impressed with Yasmin because it had managed to melt the hearts of refrigerator people like my son" said Ummi stopped when Yusuf called him like a child because he was seduced by Umminya.

"Ummi.." whine Yusuf.

"Ooops, joking son, hehe" said Ummi chuckling.

"You sure son, you want to go to Yasmin's own house?" ummi Ulfa convinced her son.

"God willing Joseph was convinced Ummi. For now, let Joseph go alone, God willing, if you continue until the proposal, Ummi and Abi will go" Joseph said, noting his reflection in the mirror.

"The son of Ummi is already handsome really" said Ummi teasing his son back as soon as Yusuf's face reddened to the temptation of the Ummi.

Finally, Yusuf said goodbye to Ummi to go to Yasmin ruman by using the Uncle's car and armed with the address given Yasmin yesterday.

"Bismillah, O Allah, ease my affairs" murmured Joseph trying to ease his nervousness.

When he arrived at Yasmin's courtyard, Yusuf saw another car parked there. That means, there are other guests who came first from Joseph.

Yusuf finally decided to wait in the available seats in Yasmin's courtyard to give privacy to Yasmin's guests.

"How son? do you want to accept Arif's proposal?" ask Mother Hafsah to her daughter who is currently sitting with the Father who has improved in the living room.

Today they had an unexpected guest, a man named Arif who is a lecturer and neighbor of the complex, came to propose Yasmin to be his wife.

Yasmin looked at her parents alternately with a sad look, then she turned to look at Arif and then looked down again.

"I'm sorry.." lirih Yasmin was still heard by Arif and his parents. "I'm sorry I couldn't accept your application, the reason I didn't accept, is because there's someone I'm waiting for" he continued, looking out the window where Joseph was sitting waiting.

Hearing Yasmin's reply, Yasmin's parents were shocked, and Yasmin had never said anything before that she had someone waiting for her.

After talking for a while, Arif finally decided to go home. Seeing that the guest had gone home, Yusuf stood up and looked at Yasmin and her parents who were still standing at the door.

"Who is he?" syawal's father asked a little whisper to Yasmin.

"Come on, Father, Mother, you'll find out later" Yasmin replied and went to Joseph.

"Have you been waiting a long time, brother?" ask Yasmin.

"No, just now" said Yusuf. "If you can know, what kind of guest needs to come to your house? seeing a young man coming to the house with his daughter made me curious since then" continued Yusuf curious.

Yasmin smiled faintly "Yes, sister, her name is Arif, she came here to propose to me" Yasmin replied honestly.

"No brother, I said that there was someone I was waiting for" Yasmin said lowered her head.

"Then, is he?" joseph asked curiously.

"She's a big sister" Yasmin replied, making Joseph unable to resist the happy smile on his face. He was feeling a very beautiful warm feeling in his heart at this moment.

"Please go in, Father and Mother are waiting inside" Yasmin said, letting Joseph in

"Is your father better? I heard yesterday that your father was sick" asked Yusuf, holding a small basket of fruit following Yasmin from behind.

"Alhamdulillah is better, brother" Yasmin said as she walked into the house.

"Assalamu 'alaikum." said Yusuf when he entered the house.

"Wa'alaikum greetings" replied Yasmin's parents kindly. "Please sit down son" continued Hafsah's mother, allowing Joseph to sit down.

They ended up sitting together in a living room that was not spacious but comfortable and clean.

"Sorry aunt, this is fruit, I heard yesterday that om again sick? how is it now" said Yusuf kindly.

"Thank you son. Thank God my situation is better son" said Shawwal's father. "If you can tell whose name is my son?" he continued, asking graciously.

"My name is Yusuf om, actually I came here to ask permission to om and aunt." said Yusuf cut off because nervous.

"Solicit permission for what, son?" ask Shawwal's father.

"I want to invite Yasmin ta'arruf, om, aunt" Yusuf said as he looked at Yasmin's parents and turned to Yasmin who had been a loyal listener.

"Why ta'arruf? why don't you apply right away if you feel it's right?" mother Hafsah's words made Yasmin surprised to not expect her mother's answer.

Yusuf smiled "actually I want to like that om, aunt, but I want to give Yasmin the opportunity to get to know me first before deciding to accept or reject my proposal" yusuf's light made Yasmin smile thinly.

"You don't know each other yet" asked Shawwal's father.

"We met a few days ago when we met at the hospital" Yusuf replied.

"What about you, son? Are you ready?" ask Hafsah's mother to her daughter.

"Hmm. if Father and Mother allow it, Yasmin is willing". Yasmin said looking down in embarrassment while holding back the pounding of her heart that had been pounding violently ever since.
