The Story of the Children of the Juragan
3. Decisions
"I apologize for rejecting Salman's proposal" Aisyah said firmly.
He made everyone look at him, as if he could not believe what he had said.
They know that no one can resist the million charms Salman has. His good looks, his achievements and many other things. And only Aisha dared to refuse. Make them wonder.
Of course, it makes Salman's heart quite disappointed.
Rosyidah and Andre feel bad because their son has rejected the proposal of his best friend's son. But both could not do more. Because they will be the ones to go through.
"However, if the proposal came from Fatih mas, I would accept it" Aisyah said later. Again his words surprised them.
"Me?" Al Fatih pointed at the trunk of her own nose. Then he and Salman looked at each other.
Al Fatih felt bad for her brother. But not with Salman who actually carved a smile on his face.
"I was a little disappointed at first when Aisyah rejected my proposal. But, when he decided to accept, if Al Fatih proposed to him, I felt relieved and ridho. Both have good nature. Even all these gifts I gave to Al Fatih to give to Aisyah."
For the umpteenth time they were surprised by the drama that was happening in plain sight. Aisha's rejection that makes people disappointed, as well as the sincerity of Salman's heart accept destiny. If the one chosen Aisyah was precisely her own nephew's brother.
Of course a huge question mark filled their mind space. Even mama Laura to tears. Seeing the sincerity of his son's heart in addressing the destiny that has been outlined for him.
It is certain that if a young man receives rejection from the female side, he will definitely not accept anger. He would regard his brother as his own rival.
"Salman, you truly accept all of this. Including when I'll come forward to propose to Aisyah?"
"Take this, and apply Aisha Fat."
Al Fatih stared one by one his family members for reassurance and support.
To be honest, in the deepest trough of his heart, he had indeed also fallen for Aisyah. He and Salman never talked to each other about his love for the girl.
And, when Al Fatih was told his parents about the news that Salman would propose to his woman, he agreed and supported her.
The woman was Aisyah. The beautiful girl, sholihah and actively help both her parents and grandparents in managing her boarding school.
Al Fatih stared at Aisyah for a few seconds, then took a deep breath before speaking.
"Aisyah Humaira, tonight allow me to propose to you" said Al Fatih as he opened the box and showed Aisyah.
"I accepted your proposal Fatih." Aisyah extended her hand in front of Fatih. Then the man put a diamond ring on her.
"Alhamdulillah" they said.
"Let's drink and taste the dish again" said papi Andre broke the tension.
They enjoyed the dishes again, talking. To discuss Fatih and Aisyah's wedding day.
And the result is that the marriage will be held in a month. They did not want to delay any longer to celebrate the sacred event.
