'It turns out it was Ustadz Gibran who proposed to Kamelia. How handsome, ' Inner Yuni stared at Ustadz Gibran.
"Listen Ustadz, let's introduce you first, this is Ms. Yuni, Kamelia's mother. And Mother Yuni, this is Ustadz Gibran, the young man who will make Kamelia his wife.

"I'm Ustadz Gibran" said Ustadz Gibran, introducing himself to Yuni.
"Oh yeah, I'm Yuni, Kamelia's mother," Yuni responded by introducing herself to Ustadz Gibran.
"Mother Yuni, so how do you think of Ustadz Gibran's goodwill to make Kamelia his wife?" kiyai Sodikin asked Yuni.
"Hmmmm like this Ustadz, I myself as Mother Yuni was very honored when my son who had many shortcomings, suddenly applied by Ustadz Gibran which can be said to be perfect.
I agree, but all I give back to Kamelia, because she is the one who will live it later. If Kiyai and Ustadz Gibran don't mind, can Ustadz ask Kamelia directly in front of me?" mother Yuni challenged ustad Gibran.
"Okay, ma'am, I don't mind. Then I'll go call Kamelia for a moment" replied Ustadz Gibran.
"Hmmmm no need Ustadz, let me just call the room guard," said Kiyai Ansor call the guard of the dorm room where Kamelia.
"Kamelia, you were called by Kiyai Sodikin to his room now" said the hostel guard while Kamelia was working on her duties.
"Ah, well Ustadzah," answered Kamelia tidying up her books.
"Kamelia, why are you called? Is there a problem?" ask Siti's friend Kamelia.
"No why. Coincidentally my mother is here, maybe Kiyai Sodikin wants to discuss my problem that often daydreams in class," Kamelia replied lying. Kamelia believes that all this must have something to do with Ustadz Gibran's proposal to her a few days ago.
"Oh, yes, go, pity your mother waiting a long time," Siti told Kamelia.
Five minutes later, Kamelia finally arrived in front of Kiyai Sodikin's room. He then knocked on the door of the pesantren cabin owner.
"Assalamualaikum Kiyai," Kamelia said when she entered.
"Greetings Walaikum" replied Kiyai Sodikin, Ustadz Gibran and Mother Yuni together.
"Come on Kamelia, please sit here" Kiyai Sodikin told one of his students.
Nervously, Kamelia walked past Ustadz Gibran and sat down next to her mother.
"Look at Kamelia, you may have known before that Ustadz Gibran intended to make you his wife. I spoke to your mother, but she gave all her decisions to you. So what do you think?" obviously Kiyai Sodikin to Kamelia who was sitting down while bowing her head.
"Hmmmm, how about Kiyai. Kiyai knows that I am not a good woman. I was afraid that Ustadz Gibran would regret it after marrying me later," replied Kamelia nervously.
"God willing I will not regret Kamelia. I am confident in my decision. I will accept all your shortcomings and will make you makmum to the land later. God willing," replied Ustadz Gibran steady.
"Well, you heard it for yourself, Kamelia. What do you think,?" ask Kiyai Sodikin again.
"Hhhhhhh, Bismillah. Well Kiyai, Ustadz, I accepted Ustadz Gibran's proposal to make me his wife" Kamelia replied as she stared at her mother.
They were all relieved and also happy to hear Kamelia's reply. Moreover, Ustadz Gibran who from the beginning had loved Kamelia.
"Well, now let's decide on your wedding day. For a while, because Kamelia's status is still as a student, therefore, this marriage will be kept secret until Kamelia ends school later," said Kiyai Sodikin accompanied by a nod of the head by Ustadz Gibran."
"Alright Kiyai. If I was, how good would it be. Most importantly, my son Kamelia, was able to move on from his bad past," Yuni replied in surrender.
"Hmmmmm, Kiyai, how about the wedding we do tomorrow night after Isya prayer? Tomorrow the children of the cottage will be many who return to their homes, respectively" said Ustadz Gibran gave a proposal.
"All right, I agree. Tomorrow after Isya, you will have a wedding in my house" replied Kiyai Sodikin agreed.
Meanwhile, Kamelia was just silently bowed before Kiyai Sodikin and Ustadz Gibran.
The next day...........
"I accepted his marriage and marriage, Kamelia Putri with dowry a set of prayer tools paid for in cash," said Ustadz Gibran loudly with one breath.
"How are the witnesses?" kiyai asked Sodikin who acted as her predecessor.
"Well," said several witnesses who were present at their wedding.
"Alhamdulillah.. Now you two have officially become a married couple.
Camellia kissed Ustadz Gibran's hand and was met with Ustadz Gibran, who kissed his wife's forehead.
"Congratulations dear Kamelia, you are now officially the wife of Ustadz Gibran. Do your duty as a good wife, and try to forget your past, son," said Yuni hugging her daughter.
"Mom, I'm Mom's daughter-in-law, don't call me Ustadz anymore" Ustadz told Yuni.
Meanwhile, Ustadz Gibran family in his hometown, was unable to attend, because they did not get a ticket to the city where Ustad Gibran worked.
They just watched the show through video calls. However, the Ustad Gibran family was very happy because the only man in their family had given up his bachelorhood at the age of twenty-eight.
"Hmmmmm, Gibran, since you're married to Kamelia, it would be nice, you and Kamelia don't live in this boarding house anymore. Abah instead of expelling the two of you, but it will be easier for you to make Kamelia forget her past by the way you live and meet every day" Kiyai Sodikin said.
"To be true, Gibran agreed with what Abah said. Gibran will find a home for us to live in later," replied Ustadz Gibran agreed with the proposal Abah adopted.
"Why don't you guys just stay at Mom's? I don't mind at all," Yuni said excitedly.
"How's Kamelia?" asked Ustadz Gibran to the woman who has now officially become his wife.
"I.. L'm.. I agree," Kamelia replied nervously. He still does not expect, if he will get the best mate like Ustadz Gibran.
"Alhamdulillah. Alright, then, you guys can come with Ibu Yuni home for tonight. Tomorrow will be Sunday. You can spend some time getting to know each other" replied Kiyai Sodikin feeling happy. He was pleased that Ustadz Gibran had decided to get married. That way, there is great hope if he will have grandchildren in the near future. Kiyai Sodikin did not have any children at all, therefore, he did, he made Ustadz Gibran his son and made Ustadz Gibran heir to the boarding school he had established with his late wife who died in the holy land while performing the Hajj.
"Alright Abah. Who is Abah here with?" asked Ustadz Gibran to worry about his Abah.
"Not to think about Abah. There are still many people who do not come home on weekends. They can accompany Abah here" said Kiyai Sodikin to make Ustadz Gibran relieved.
