Halal Love of the Senior
An Answer

"Sorry Dita, because I haven't given the same answer Mas Adi." Adelia lowered her head.

"It's okay if Adel doesn't have an answer. I'm sorry I mentioned Mas Adi." Dita clasped Adelia's hand.

"Actually today, I want to see you also want to give an answer. But first I want to ask you first." Adelia lifted her head, looking at Dita.

"Ask what, brother?" Dita tilted her head while looking at Adelia.

"Mas Adi" replied Adelia slowly. He squeezed his hand out of nervousness.

"Could only. Adel's sister wants to ask what about Mas Adi?"

"Did Mas Adi ever date?" Adelia started the question.

"Never. Brother himself knows how I am with Mas Rendra who was immediately married to father. No word of courtship in our house."

"If you have such a crush?" ask Adelia again.

"Maybe you had a crush, brother. But if dating, I guarantee never," replied Dita firmly.

"Mas Adi once proposed to someone but was rejected, Brother. Since then, I have never heard of being close to a woman. New with Adel's brother Mas Adi want to taaruf," he continued.

Adelia was surprised to hear Dita's answer. He never thought Adi had failed to get married.

"So, I'm the second woman Mas Adi wants to apply for?"

Dita nodded. "Yes, Brother. If not wrong Mas Adi is also a second man right for Adel?" tanya Dita made sure.

"Yes" answered Adelia. "We, may I know the reason Mas Adi's proposal was rejected?" ask again.

Dita exhaled a long breath. "Because at that time Mas Adi did not have anything, brother. Mas Adi when applying just got accepted for work. Still ngekos, the motorbike is also still given by the father. You could say it is still zero. They're afraid Mas Adi can't make his son happy."

"Since then Mas Adi focused on working, almost every day overtime. Rarely go home. Mas Adi slowly saved up to be able to buy his own vehicle and now, thank God can have his own home. Mas Adi was determined not to get married until he had his own home. Mas Adi no longer wanted to be rejected just because of the issue of wealth."

"Before I got married, Mas Adi wanted to take me to college even until S2. Mas Adi wants to spoil me. Since getting the first salary, every month I was always given an allowance, even now. Although Mas Adi saves for his own expenses, but loyal to me, Brother. If I'm planning to buy something, I'm buying it right away, but I'm not asking for it." Dita looked up when she told me about Adi.

"Mas Adi is also a family-loving type, Brother. Just like Mas Rendra. Eleven twelve of them. Both protective and possessive. I can't get anywhere without permission from Mas Adi. Even after I got married still being protective especially when I was pregnant first." Dita smiles at Adelia who looks serious listening to her talk.

"This is a hodgepodge without a rhombus, this is complete." A canteen guard delivered their order, making their conversation pause.

"Thank you, Mom" said Dita kindly.

"Sama-sama," replied the canteen guard.

"Let's get eaten, while chatting." Dita added sambal on top of her hodgepodge before she mixed it with herbs.

"That's enough, don't add any more."

She gasped at the sound of her husband suddenly appearing behind her.

"Eh, Mas Rendra has arrived. How about not greeting, Mom." We try to switch the conversation while smiling awkwardly. He immediately grabbed Rendra's right hand, then kissed the back of her hand.

"Assalamu'alaikum," greeting Rendra later.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," replied Dita and Adelia.

"You ordered food. I'll order some food first then. Honey, did you pay for the food yet?" ask Rendra to Dita.

"Here you go, my mom."

"Yes already. I'll order it." Rendra picked up the sambal container before leaving his wife and Adelia, anticipating that Dita would not add any more sambal.

"Tuh, rich is one of their protective attitudes, Kak" said Dita after Rendra left.

Adelia smiled. "That's because he doesn't want you to get a stomach ache from eating too much sambal."

"Yes, but so upset until the sauce container is taken," grumbled Dita while mixing the hodgepodge.

Adelia smiled back. He began to enjoy his hodgepodge. Dita also started eating after earlier praying.

"So you're the same Mas Adi very close huh?" ask Adelia later.

"Yes, Brother. Maybe also because of the difference after we are quite far away. So Mas Adi loves me so much."

"What is your age difference?" Adelia frowned.

"Eight years, Brother. Now Mas Adi is 28 years old, it's time to get married" replied Dita while smiling seductively.

"Far away from me." Adelia repeatedly nodded her head.

"Makanya Mas Adi is dear and very caring to me, Brother. No matter how busy his college or job, Mas Adi always took the time to call or send messages to me. We were so close that many people who didn't know us thought we were dating." Dita chuckles when telling stories.

"But sometimes Mas Adi likes to play girls who chase after him. Confessing that having a girlfriend will continue to show me pictures of him who looks friendly." Dita laughs again in memory of her friendship with Adi.

"If later it turns out that the destiny of God to match Adel with Mas Adi, do not be jealous of me, Brother. Sometimes we get carried away when we are talking together. Although sometimes we're teasing and teasing each other, but we love each other, brother."

"Yes, I can see that you love each other" Adelia said.

"Mom if you've gathered fun and fun yourself, chat" said Rendra who just came while bringing food orders. He also ordered hodgepodge like them, but he was waiting for his hodgepodge to be made while chatting with the canteen guards.

"You're the same as Bara if you meet also fun yourself, right, Ren." Adelia turned to Rendra.

Rendra laughed because Adelia's innuendo was on target. There is no difference indeed between men and women if they have met the closest people must be engrossed in chatting alone.

"Where is Del, Istikharahmu? Did you get an answer?" ask Rendra without saying anything.

"Mas, don't be frontal" Dita said.

"That's okay, honey. It's common for me to talk to Adel like this," said Rendra while mixing hodgepodge with the spice.

"Yes, Dita. Just relax. I'm nothin. It was his plan to give an answer."

"So what's the answer?" ask Rendra to the point again.

"Propay why, Mom. This was Adel's sister just wondering about Mas Adi."

"Oh so. Yes, I'm listening." Rendra ate his hodgepodge after earlier praying.

"Do you want Adel to ask again?" Dita looked at Adelia.

"What is Mas Adi's favorite food?"

"Mas Adi ate everything anyway, brother." Dita laughs. "There is no special food that he likes because it may be a long time ago so anything wants. But, Mas Adi prefers home cooking over restaurants."

"Do you think I deserve to be Mas Adi's wife?" adelia asked as she looked at Dita and Rendra alternately.

They were surprised by Adelia's question. They looked at each other, determined who would talk first.

"Why? I don't deserve Mas Adi?" The sad face of Adelia.

"It's not so, brother. We just decided who was talking. Brother Adel, don't get me wrong." I tried to give Adelia some understanding.

"Yes, Del. I think you deserve to be Mas Adi's wife. You guys are compatible. I'm a yes if you're my sister-in-law." Rendra expressed his opinion.

"From the beginning before Mas Adi said he wanted to share with Kak Adel, I have supported Kak Adel with Mas Adi. If you don't believe me, just ask Mas Rendra. I used to tease Mas Adi about Adel's sister, but that's why Adi sok cool."

"I was shocked when Mas Adi wanted to share with Adel. In my heart I was happy that my brother finally wanted to marry someone. And, I'm happier because Mas Adi's chosen woman is Kak Adel. Just like Mas Rendra, I'm also yes if Adel's sister-in-law I." Dita expressed her opinion.

Slowly Adelia's smile grew to hear the expressions of Rendra and Dita.

"So, do you think I deserve to be Mas Adi's wife?" adelia asked with sparkling eyes.

Rendra and Dita compactly nodded with a wide smile in response to Adelia's question.

"Then, I want to give Mas Adi an answer. Bismillah, God willing I accept Mas Adi taaruf," said Adelia confidently.

"Alhamdulillah, finally the wait for Mas Adi paid off. Thank you, Adel." Dita immediately hugged Adelia tightly. Not feeling her tears dripping because she was moved and happy. They hugged for a while to channel happiness.

"From now on, can I call you Ma'am?" asked Dita to Adelia after breaking their arms.

Adelia nodded. "May, just as comfortable as you are, Dita."

"Congratulations, Del. You desire to be happy." (You deserve/deserve to be happy)

"Thanks, Ren." -."
