The Second Lead Fate
One Hundred Twenty Five

Ambar awoke as his alarm went off.

"What time is this?" ask yourself the question and grab the phone on the table. Three o'clock in the morning. He stretched his back and felt pain. Why is he sleeping in the store? Instead of going home and sleeping on a soft bed.

"It's stupid" he said, then tried to stand up. It still felt dizzy, probably because he had eaten nothing the previous day. Ambar finally went downstairs and looked outside the store once. There was only one other black car parked in front of the shophouse. Nice car, definitely just parking here, he thought and locked the shop. He had no idea the guy he had always dreamed of being in that car, was watching him in silence.

"You just got home?" ask his mother when Ambar just entered the house.

"Assalamualaikum Ma'am"

"Wallaikum salam. Have you eaten yesterday?"

"The press wants to pray first"

"Mother make noodles huh?"

"No need to Mom. Amber is not laper"

"There is rawon made by budhemu. Eat anget rice same tempe fried ya"

"Later in the morning, Mom. Nanggung" he said then passed away to his room. Change all clothes and practice sunnah prayer before lying down again.

Immediately after lying down, Ambar remembered the guy he had seen just a glance. Perhaps this is an answer from God, telling him to forget everything that happened in the past and live the present well. Did he just accept all the matchmaking? Or is he just married? Although initially without love, if continued together will definitely grow feelings of mutual need. Ambar took a deep breath and heard the voice of the dawn prayer. He went to the bathroom and wudu again.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Ambar was ready to work again. Before leaving, he was forced to have breakfast first by his mother.one by one a mouthful of raw rice finally entered his mouth. But it can't be too much because Ambar starts to feel nauseous. He intended to summarize the plate when his father who had been silent since earlier opened his mouth.

"Someone wants to propose to you"

"Huh?" ambar and his mother answered at the same time.

"Same dad mom keeps asking you to meet someone but you don't want to. Now someone's gonna propose to you, what do you want?"

Apply? Is it so soon that Allah will grant his prayers that he will forget them all? He had just prayed less than three hours ago, but was picked up so quickly.

"Who Sir?" tanya Ambar then put the dishes in the table bag again.

"There was. Muslim, working, already have a house and a car. if you want, this Saturday he will go home and propose officially"

Ambar's eyes were wide open. A saturday? It's only three days left. Was his father not kidding? How could anyone propose without ever meeting him at all?

"Sure father?" tanyanya tried to confirm the truth of the news that her father had told her.

"You think you're kidding me?" his father said, looking at Ambar. From there Ambar knew his father was not joking. Well, Allah really wants him to move on apparently. But ... is it true that he will do this? Married to someone unknown? Do you hope there will be feelings that arise later in life? Is not this his wish that was said during the sunnah prayer earlier? Is Ambar going to deny his own wishes now?

"You take it" Ambar replied, surprising his parents.

Of course they'll be surprised. All this time he always refused to be betrothed, but when someone proposed. He wants to.

"Mbar, did you actually accept this proposal?" ask her mother not to believe. Ambar actually doesn't believe in any of this either. But maybe this is what God has outlined for him. So, what's wrong with running everything God has arranged for him?

"Yes Mom. Ambar has been lazy to be betrothed"

"But ... "

"Mr will talk to your future husband later. This Saturday we're preparing a proposal event"

Ambar went to work in a new mood. He didn't expect after last night to cry because of that guy. Now he has accepted another man's proposal. It's like a dream, but may the dream end well. Well, he also needs to step out of the guilt that has been covering his heart all this time. Everything must be fine, he told himself and went to work.

Ambar's father was actually very surprised by his daughter's response to the proposal. He never expected his daughter who had absolutely no idea who proposed it would say yes so easily. Is this what you call a soul mate? he thought he received a suspicious look from his wife.

"What?" ask his wife.

"Who? Who would propose to Ambar? Where did you meet? I have a house, a car, a job. Who Sir?"

"Don't be noisy, you just prepare for Saturday morning's application. I'll call the future ghost first"

"Who Sir?"

Ambar's father walked away from the house and his wife and pressed a row of numbers written on a paper to his old cell phone.

"Hello Assalamualaikum"

"Wallaikum salam"

"Sir. Me ... "

"Ambar receives"

"What?"

"You are serious. Come Saturday morning"

The man was silent for a while but Ambar's father waited quietly.

"God willing I am coming"

"Yes already. Assalamualaikum"

"Wallaikum salam"

Ambar's father looked towards the mosque he had visited this morning and heaved a sigh of relief. He never knew the Fajr prayer would get him a future son-in-law. The man is the same man who hurt his daughter, a man who was married and had a bad past. Ambar's father understood that. But ... only the man dared to confront him and boldly said he would marry his daughter.

"I'm going to marry Ambar. I'll make her happy"

That said the man steadily, even when witnessed by all the pilgrims this morning. Indeed, the man had many shortcomings, including not long ago embraced Islam. But ... If he is a mate, he also can not do anything.

"If you're serious, I'll ask my son. When can you come to propose?" he asked with a slightly tiptoed body because he did not want to look small in front of the man.

"Saturday this morning"

"I'll ask Ambar. If he says yes, you can come to propose"

"Good"

Just like that and now he has got the prospective daughter-in-law.Ayah Ambar returned home and still received a suspicious look from his wife. But she will hide the identity of Ambar's future husband until they meet Saturday. At least Ambar has said yes to the application.
