The Shy Duda
Seeking Candidates

Next day. Family miting is held at his home ustadz Soleh to find a mate for Fadlan. Fadlan can only be quiet and resigned when his family is busy looking for a mate for him. Ustadz Soleh deliberately helped find a mate for Fadlan because he knew his son was very difficult to get close to women. Fadlan's shyness towards women makes it difficult to approach women.

Ustadz Soleh, Ustadz Usman, Aisyah, Sarah, Fadli and Fadil were busy looking for data to be betrothed to Fadlan.

"Fadlan, what kind of woman are you looking for?" Ask ustadz Usman.

Fadlan confused himself, he handed it all to them.

"Just as you guys."

"Yes, look for celebrities then." Ustadz Usman.

"Why did you find a celebrity to be my son-in-law." The protest of ustadz Soleh.

"Your son says it's up to you."

"But yeah, not celebrities either." Gerrutu ustadz Soleh.

Fadil and Fadli had already thought and twisted his brain, recalling his fear that they had an acquaintance who could be betrothed to Fadlan.

"Well, if it's a little hard to find, it's important she's a girl." Ustadz Usman. Ustadz Soleh patted his sister on the shoulder.

"Don't come from a woman doang Man. In addition to a good girl's nyari, she also has to love Zidan and Pipit." Gerrutu ustadz Soleh.

"This is it, what if we both recommend women who would be suitable for Fadlan. At least one candidate." Aisyah.

"Later in the afternoon we gather here again to miting again." Ustadz Usman.

Fadlan just smiled to see they were busy looking for a mate for him.

***

Evening arrived, the miting was held again at his home until Soleh. Aisyah had brought a piece of paper containing the data of a woman. Fadil has brought four data of a woman as well as ustadz Usman and Fadli.

"I've collected all the data. Two candidates from me, one candidate from Aisyah, one candidate from Sarah, one candidate from Mbah Husen, one candidate from Usman, one candidate from Zahira, two candidates from twin om, one candidate from Usman, two candidates from Fadil, two candidates from Fadli one candidate from Dewi. Everything so there are 14 candidates who will be introduced to Fadlan." Ustadz Soleh.

"Tell me the names." Pinta Faddli's.

"I have Ainy and Sofia. From Aisha there was Nafisa. From Sarah there is Asma, from Mbah Husen there is Maryam, Maya from Usman, from Zahira there is Bu Erni."

Everyone immediately fell silent and frowned.

"What does it mean that the Selebor recommended his mother to be his future wife Fadlan. About the Fadlan Duda and Bu Erni widow, he had thoughts of making his mother as the son-in-law of Brother Soleh. Uh but by the way it's funny if Miss Erni becomes her son-in-law Brother Soleh." Ustadz Usman chuckled until Ustadz Soleh patted him on the shoulder.

"Anyway with that." Gerrutu ustadz Soleh. Fadlan had also pursed her lips.

"Selbor's not a violation." Fadil said with a laugh.

"Aisha, your sister-in-law is framed."

"Try whose next candidate."

Ustadz Soleh read out the name of his candidate.

"Michelle and Veronica candidates from Yudi and Yuda."

Suddenly Fadil and Fadli laughed.

"That's the candidate of the twins name on cool yeah, about how rich people are, so curious." Fadil.

"Fadli, do you recommend twin girls to your sister?, that if one of them is accepted later the other is angry they will be enemies. Surely the sinner is you, if they hate each other even how to kill." Fadil Protest.

"Your mind is too far away Dil."

"Last Muktar candidate of the Goddess."

Everyone was silent to hear it.

"Muktar????"

"Wah besanku asked in ruqyah. When he gave a male candidate to Fadlan. His brain is the pot of times." Ustadz Usman.

"Mistakenly wrote the times, maybe her name is Mutia, try to look at the data again." Pinta Aisha.

Ustadz Soleh read Mukhtar's data.

"The sex is male." Ustadz Soleh.

"The Goddess really asks to be sprayed."

"Yes, starting tomorrow we immediately arrange a meeting. At least one day two candidates who will get acquainted with Fadlan. It starts with Ainy and Sofia. Fadil and Fadli will accompany Fadlan to the meeting. Where do you want to go?" Tanya ustadz Soleh.

"At the restaurant alone, there must be a lot of people, so it will not invite slander." Fadil.

"How does Fadlan you agree?" Tanya ustadz Soleh. Fadlan could only nod in resignation.

"That means the candidate fell two people yes. Miss Erni is Muktar."

After the completion of miting, all disbanded from his house ustadz Soleh. Fadlan was about to return home, but Ustadz Soleh called him first.

"Fadlan, Abi wants to talk to you first."

Fadlan nodded and sat back down. Ustadz Soleh sat next to his son.

"Aren't you forced to get married again?" Tanya ustadz Soleh. Fadlan looked directly at Abinya.

"I've often said Bi, I don't want to marry again, but for the sake of the children God willing I'm willing to marry again." Answer Fadlan.

"But you must remember that Lan, the woman you married, will not only be a connecting mother to your children, but she will be your wife. You understand what a husband's duty is to his wife. Not just giving a living, not just giving the task of looking after the children, not just telling him to take care of the house. But you have an obligation to guide her, to make her happy. Abi found you a candidate not only to give Zidan and Pipit a mother, but Abi wanted to give you a wife. You understand, right?" Ustadz Soleh. Fadlan nodded.

"But don't force me to like him. I love Amara." Fadlan.

Ustadz Soleh just smiled.

"When men and women live together, live together, even without any feelings, but sooner or later the feelings will definitely grow by themselves. Now you can say you don't like it, but remember, God is all about turning people's hearts, including yours." Ustadz Soleh.

Fadlan smiled as well.

After returning home from his parents who are now just next door to his house, Fadlan went straight into his house to see Zidan and Pipit asleep on the sofa after reading a book. Fadlan smiled and confirmed their position.

"My children are already on the big, already able to protest, already able to express their desire to have a new mother." Inner Fadlan.

Fadlan went into her room, sat down on the bed and took her wedding photo with Amara.

"Mar, the kids asked me to remarry, they wanted to have a mother. Wrong not if I remarry, no intention to betray you, for the sake of the happiness of our children. I'm sorry I just want to make our kids happy." Inner Fadlan while stroking his late wife's photo.
