THE UNMISSED PEBINOR
Chapter Fifty. PYTDS.

Syifa and her family are preparing to welcome the Hanif family. At exactly eight o'clock in the evening Hanif and his parents arrived at the residence of Syifa's parents.

After a simple conversation, the two Hanifs began to talk to the core of their arrival.

"Syifa Nak surely knows what we're coming for. As Hanif's parents we wanted to hear directly from Nak Syifa's mouth, whether to accept our proposal."

"I apologize in advance to Abi and Umi, if my answer will not be pleasing. After I prayed istikharah, I finally decided not to accept Mas Hanif's proposal" Syifa said slowly, but surprised everyone in the room especially Hanif.

"We know this is all your right to refuse or accept this proposal. However, may we know what is the cause of you rejecting our application. Let us introspect ourselves towards a better one."

"Sorry, Abi, Umi. There's nothing wrong. Mas Hanif is a good man, only I'm not ready for a household for now."

"Syifa, yesterday when I asked, you still answered that you want to marry Hanif. Why are you changing now. Don't embarrass me and my mom, son," said Ms. Syifa.

"Sorry, Mom. Frankly, I'm not ready to go to the household with Mas Hanif."

"May I know why you're not ready to go to bed with me?" ask Hanif.

"I'm not ready if one day Mas Hanif wants polygamy. I was afraid I would do the same with Naya, asking for separation. I want to get married once in a lifetime."

"Syifa, no one wants a divorce. But all of this is by God's will. Everything we've been through has been arranged, we're all just living it."

"I understand, Mas. But the fear must be in every human being. What else after I saw the gossip and news about you and mbak Citra. I'm afraid I'll all be through it too."

"I understand now, so you changed your mind after seeing all the news about me and Citra. Admittedly it was all my fault, I decided without saying anything to Naya. It was a mistake I cannot forgive. I'm angry at myself, why did I ever do that. But life goes on, there is no point regretting everything that happened. Better fix yourself for better going forward."

"Syifa, Father and Mother have heard all that from Abinya Hanif. Hanif has decided to no longer work as an actor. He will return to trade and his Abi mvantu preach. If you are his wife, you can help Hanif preach" Syifa's father said.

"Dad, give me some time to think and get to know Mas Hanif. It was also to strengthen my heart. If we are meant to be a match, God will bring us closer. As Mas Hanif said, the soul mate is not arranged by God. So no matter how far we go, if a matchmaker will definitely meet and as close as we are and as strong as we hold if not a mate will certainly be separated."

"All right, son Syifa. As a woman Umi understands your concerns. We'll give you another month to think. If your heart isn't steady as well, maybe that means you're not a match."

After a long conversation, Hanif and his parents finally said goodbye. Disappointment on Hanif's face. She hoped that Syifa would accept her proposal, but she refused. Perhaps this was one of the tests for Hanif, and also the recompense for his previous actions that had hurt Naya.

...---------------...

Kenzo and Naya are currently on one of the television stations as guest stars. Kenzo answers a lot of questions about his upcoming movie.

"The next question may be a bit personal, where you know Naya first. As is known, if Naya is Hanif's ex-wife, your co-star in the famous soap opera."

Kenzo looked at his wife with a smile. Naya had already refused to come along for fear of this question that would arise, but Kenzo made sure if all would definitely be overcome.

"I knew Naya while taking Hanif who was still Naya's husband."

"Did you like Naya?"

"Like it's meaning is broad.To be frank when I first saw Naya I had indeed liked it, because of its simple but elegant appearance. Precisely amazed, because of his stupidity."

"Sorry, Ma'am. That's very personal. I can't answer it. Are there no questions about my career? If I say everything Mbak asks it's the same as me opening up people's disgrace."

"Sorry, if you mind. Let's just change the topic."

"Before Mbak goes on another question, please know if the soul mate is a secret of God. So also about my soul mate who turns out to be Naya. God has recorded the destiny of every creature 50 thousand years before the creation of heaven and earth." (Moslem HR). Buya Yahya also said, in Lauhul mahfudz not only written about the soul mate, but also other things such as who became an expert in heaven to get godly children or not. All the events of this world have been written in Lauhul mahfudz. We just run."

The host finally only asked about Kenzo's career after the man gave a little enlightenment.

...----------------...

A month had passed since Hanif's first proposal. During this one month, Hanif and Syifa had met several times. The woman wanted to get to know Hanif personally even more closely.

Meanwhile, the image, seemed to start to change its appearance. Hanif's ex-wife appears to have started wearing the hijab.

"Sister Kenzo, it's like Miss Citra."

"The one is Image."

"His appearance has changed. It's beautiful now."

Naya and Kenzo who were walking in the mall saw Citra was choosing clothes at a Muslim fashion boutique. The image that felt noticed looked up at his head and smiled looking at Naya. The woman approached Naya and Kenzo.

"Good afternoon. Long time no see."

"Good afternoon, Mrs Citra. How are you?"

"As you can see. Right now I'm learning to change myself, either attitude or appearance. May I be Istiqomah."

"Aamiya. Mbak Citra more beautiful with this appearance," said Naya again.

"Thank you, you're even more beautiful. How many months?" ask Citra while rubbing Naya's distended stomach.

"It's been eight months."

"Before a little bit of a lahiran."

As they were chatting the three, they were startled with a greeting voice.

"Good afternoon everyone" said the man. Naya, Citra and Kenzo look towards the source of the sound.

"Mas Hanif" said Naya and Citra in unison. It was the one who greeted Hanif. The man was with Syifa.
