Halal Love of the Senior
Undecided

"Mbak, why? Lately I've seen a lot of rich thoughts." Sarah's mother, her mother, reprimands the dreamy-looking Adelia in front of the laptop after they have dinner together.

"Eh, Ma." Adelia gasped at the sound of her mother standing in front of her. Because of his dreamy preoccupation until he was not aware his mother went into the reading room.

"Sir, still remember Restu?" Sarah's mother sat across from Adelia.

"No, Ma. Why remember him. It doesn't matter." Adelia grunted annoyedly.

"Certain why? Any problem with the thesis? Instructor's lecturer asking for continued revision?"

"No, not that either. The thesis can still be solved. Revisions are common, Ma, no big deal."

"Then why?" Sarah's mother's forehead is getting shriveled.

Adelia took a long breath. "Someone wants to know me, Ma."

"You mean to date, Mommy?"

"No, Ma. Taaruf is not dating. You could say the recognition process, Ma."

"Yes, same thing with rich girls dating."

"Different, Mom. Taaruf once met twice, the proposal continued marriage. During the process is also always accompanied by mahram not only the two."

Sarah's mother nodded many times. "The rich santri models in the boarding school are yes, Ma'am."

"Maybe, Ma."

"He's a cottage graduate?"

"I don't know, Ma. His family is just religious. There is no word of dating in his family. It's a marriage."

"Did mom ever see him, Mom? How come mom is curious about the same person."

"When you're here, Ma. I went with Rendra. He's Rendra's brother-in-law."

"Rendra, Ma'am's friend, who's married?"

"Yes, Ma. Rendra was also not dating his wife, Ma. I was shocked when I found out he was married. Rendra never looked pedekate with his wife know-how marriage. After the proposal is directly married religiously. Only 4 months later officially married."

"Oh .... Do you wear a hijab because you want to be invited to taaruf?"

"No, Ma." Adelia shook her head as she waved her hand, dismissing her mother's supposition.

"I started wearing the hijab the day before she took the taaruf, Ma. I was shocked when I was invited by Taaruf. If we meet, it is also ordinary. There's no sign that she likes me, Ma."

"Mbak, how was it? Do you like her? Uh from earlier call it he continues. What's the name, Ma'am?"

Adelia smiled shyly. "His name is Adi, Ma. I call him Mas Adi. He is also the alma mater of civil engineering UGM. I work and have my own home. Yesterday Mas Adi also helped Adelia find the title of the thesis, Ma."

"Well, ma'am, the guy?" Sarah's mother looked at her daughter's timid face.

"Yes, Ma. Saleh is also the man, just as rich as Rendra."

"So my mom's question hasn't been answered, Mom."

"Which question, Ma?" Adelia looked at her mother.

"Sir, do you like Adi?" Sarah's mother repeated her question.

"Oh, about that. How yes, Ma. Physically Mas Adi handsome. The guy's good, godly. Who doesn't like him, Ma."

"That's it, Ma'am?"

"What do you mean by Mama?"

"Is there no desire to be Adi's wife? Not just a little admiration."

"Who wouldn't want to be his wife, Ma? He is a near perfect man. Handsome, kind, pious, well established, the criteria of a dream husband is very. It's precisely because he's almost perfect that worries me, Ma." Adelia sighed.

"On the one hand, I feel very appreciated as a woman. But on the other hand, I felt inferior, unworthy to be his wife. I'm still trying to fix myself. Yes, although Mas Adi said it would help and guide me if I received it," continued Adelia.

"I'm sorry mom, Mom." Sarah's mother turned to sit next to Adelia, holding her eldest daughter's hand.

"Sorry for what, Ma?" Adelia was confused by her mother's attitude.

"Forgive mom and dad who didn't equip you with enough religious knowledge. Does not lead you to perform your duty to God." Sarah's mother sighed softly.

"Mama is ashamed of me. The older mother, who should have been closer to God was not just busy chasing the world. Because of our mistakes, Ma'am, so inferior, felt less religious knowledge. Though there are godly men who intend the same, Ma'am."

Adelia hugged her mother. "That is over let it pass, Ma. If you want, we both fix ourselves, get closer to God."

"Yes, Mother. Mama wants. Shame will be the same godly ghost if mama does not pray and njai."

"Duh, mama's son is smart talk now." Sarah's mother seduces Adelia.

"Mama, what the hell. I'm serious, Ma. I changed because of the calling of the heart, not because of anyone. Do not know if he was even invited to be taaruf with Mas Adi. Mama don't misunderstand my intention to change."

"I'm sorry mom, Mom. Mama will tell me about this. It may be time to get closer to God. Return to duty as His servant. Being too after the mortal world makes us forget to pursue the eternal afterlife. Thank you, Ma'am, for making me want to go back to the way of God."

"That's all God's guidance, Ma. I hope that mom and dad straighten out their intentions because of God, not because of the same shame Mas Adi. I have not decided to accept or reject Mas Adi." Adelia held her mother's hand.

"Sir, what is it to make a choice?" ask Sarah's mother.

"Salat Istikharah, Ma" replied Adelia.

"Well that. Have you prayed Istikharah?"

"Already, Ma. It's been two weeks. But, still no leads." Adelia sighs.

"If Adi had been?"

Adelia nodded. "Already, even he said since the first time I met, Ma. After he felt sure, just said if he wanted to taaruf. Now we are both Istikharah."

"Hopefully get the best answer soon, Ma'am."

"Aamiinu. Pray yes, Ma."

Sarah's mother nodded. He got rid of the child's hair that covered Adelia's face. "Mama will pray, this beautiful mother's child can be a godly husband."

"Aamiinu. Thanks, Ma." Adelia smiled meaningfully.

"It's a shame that actually until Mbak rejects Adi. In addition to guiding Ma'am, it can also guide mom and dad also Arsen," muttered Sarah's mother.

Adelia laughs. "Kok became the mama who wanted to modusin Mas Adi. It can't be, Ma. If you want to learn religion, we can invite ustaz. Mas Adi was quite busy working, often overtime work. Saturday is still work."

"Indeed, did you learn to pay with ustazah?"

"No, Ma. Sama Dita, Mas Adi's younger brother. Sometimes he also invited me to study at the musala. I'm comfortable with Dita, but he said later if I want to learn more to introduce the same ustazah."

"Well that's what madam modusin's sister Adi?" goda.

"Astaghfirullah, Ma. By Allah, I have no such intention. Dita who first made me want to change and be guided. That's why I asked to be taught with him. I told you, I didn't change because of Mas Adi." Adelia explained to her mother while pouting.

Sarah's mother laughed a little because she had succeeded in teasing Adelia. "Yes, mom knows. Mama's just kidding, Mommy."

"Mom, can you tell me about Adi and papa?" ask Sarah's mother after she stops laughing.

"Whatever, Mama. Mama knows better about that," replied Adelia.

"Looks like Adi is much different, is it the same Restu, Ma'am?"

"It's far different, Ma. Never compare them. And, not its class to compare, polyphonic hp time juxtaposed with iphone."

Sarah's mother laughed at Adelia's reply. "Mbak, could. Is that a polyphonic hp? Is Adi an iphone?"

Adelia nodded while laughing amusedly at the comparison she made.

"Well, my mother's daughter can smile now. You need to know, whatever the decision will be, Mama will support. And mama will help pray so that you can have a godly husband."

"Aamiinu. Thanks, Ma."

"We're asleep, Mother," asked Sarah's mother.

"I want to do the thesis first, Ma," declined Adelia.

"Tomorrow we will work on the script. From earlier the laptop was also only opened not laterinain, Ma'am," said Sarah's mother with an amused smile.

Adelia stared at the laptop in front of her which showed a black screen. The power button is also dead. "Astaghfirullah, I forgot the guts, Ma."

"Yes, I was busy daydreaming from earlier. I've been sleeping."

"Yes, Ma. I'll finish this." Adelia closed her laptop and arranged her books and papers.

"Sir, if you have an answer tell me yes," Sarah's mother said before leaving Adelia in the reading room.

"Yes, Ma."
