For a moment both of them were silent in their respective minds. Arjuna was truly sorry for leaving Syifa.
"Wait a minute, brother!" syifa said, then went into the house.
Syifa brought back two jewelry boxes with rings.
"Syifa ..., is there no more chance for me?" ask Arjuna.
Syifa could only sigh heavily upon hearing the question.
"I've been waiting for you for years, brother. Now it's too late. Like what you said just now when you came, this conversation of ours won't change anything!" syifa said firmly.
Syifa opened the ring box given by Iqbal and put it on her ring finger.
"Now there is a ring that fills my ring finger, Brother. I have also received sermons from other men, so I cannot keep your gift ring anymore. I return this ring ..," Syifa said, holding out Arjuna's ring.
Arjuna reluctantly accepted it.
"All about us is done, brother. I hope Kak Juna can get the best pair for Big Brother!" syifa said sincerely. "Oh yes, thank you for Juna's saving me that time. I owe you one, brother. May Allah reward you with kindness."
"alright. May you be happy with your marriage, Syifa!" Arjuna.
Arjuna stared at Syifa. There was nothing more he could do to get Syifa to come back to him.
"alright. May you be happy with your marriage, Syifa!" Arjuna. "Please say sorry to your parents. Assalamu'alaikum!" he then walked to his car.
"Wa'alaikumussalam!"
Syifa stared at Arjuna's departure with a feeling of relief. After hearing the explanation from Juna, he felt the burden that had been stuck in his heart as if it had disappeared. On the other hand there was a sense of pity to see the sadness in Juna's eyes. But as bitter as any problem is better faced than running from the existing problems will only cause problems in the future.
Syifa went back into the house. Unexplained those in the living room had actually heard what Syifa and Arjuna were talking about. Because the distance of the terrace with the living room is not far.
Iqbal was also relieved that Syifa was not affected to return with Arjuna. He was amazed by Syifa's assertiveness in making decisions and how to solve problems.
Because the atmosphere was not conducive to the arrival of Arjuna. So the chatter of the two families was sufficient until there. Abi Imron will again contact Iqbal the next day to discuss planning for his wedding.
......................
Two days later, Imron contacted Iqbal to discuss preparations for his wedding with Syifa. All have agreed to immediately hold a marriage contract event to avoid things that are not desirable.
Because there is a lot that Syifa and Iqbal have to prepare about leave permits, rental buildings, and, and take care of all the necessary letters as a condition of applying to KUA then it is decided for the wedding to be held next month.
"Tom, immediately take care of everything needed for the requirements to register marriage to KUA. Booking the best hotel ballroom for next month's reception is dated xx. Be sure to choose the best theme with Islamic concepts. Make sure everything is in order in this one month!" Iqbal said at length.
"Tu-wait, Boss. Who's getting married, boss?" asked Tom who was feeling confused at Iqbal's orders.
"Of course my marriage. Who do you think you are?" iqbal ketus.
"You want to get married, boss? who's she married to, boss? don't tell me you were in love one night and forced to marry her, Boss!" tom said worried that maybe his boss was trapped by an unknown woman.
"About you, Tom! Do you think I'm stupid for such a relationship?!" say Iqbal with a ketus.
"Sorry Boss, I didn't mean it that way! Then who are you getting married to, Boss?" tanyanya.
"Shypha. Ask your family what it takes to get everything ready!"
"Mom Syifa? You're going to marry Miss Syifa, boss? is she going to marry you, boss?" tom asked in disbelief.
"What do you mean by your question? you don't believe Syifa wants to marry me? is there something wrong with me? I don't deserve him that?!" Iqbal immediately stared intently at Tom.
"E-no .., I don't mean that, Boss. I'll immediately execute all your orders just now, Boss!" tom stammered as he rushed towards the exit of his boss room.
"Make sure you don't make mistakes, Tom. Or I'll cut your salary every month in exchange!" iqbal threat.
Even though it was just a joke, he said it without smiling at all.
Tom took care of everything immediately. Starting from contacting the Wedding Organizer, renting a hotel ballroom, to going to Syifa's house to collect the data needed to register the marriage to KUA.
"Mom Syifa, are you seriously taking the proposal from Boss Iqbal?" ask Tom curiously.
He really wants to know how a very introverted Iqbal can attract the attention of women who are quite closed like Syifa. Even without involving himself at all.
Though from the beginning of handling cases until the end of the trial, Iqbal very rarely communicate with Syifa. They very rarely engage in conversation alone without his presence in their midst.
Hearing a question from Tom's assistant, Syifa immediately frowned in surprise.
"Is there something wrong with Tom's assistant?" Syifa asked back.
"Oh no-no .. I was just wondering how my boss was able to seduce you into accepting his proposal. I'm really curious because I wasn't involved at all when Boss Iqbal approached you. Hehehe..," he admitted while grinning without sin.
Syifa also smiled to hear Tom's reason that was quite tickling.
"Actually we've known each other before since High School" Syifa replied as necessary. At least it can answer Tom's curiosity.
Although Syifa also wondered in her heart what made Iqbal want to marry her.
Has he liked me since High School? Ah, naw. He was so upsetting first! shifa muttered inwardly.
"Mu Syifa! Ms. Syifa ...!" tom exclaimed at Syifa, because Syifa was dumbstruck when he asked to be retrieved his data to complete the requirements for applying to register with KUA.
"Eh, yes. Sorry what did you just say?" syifa asked as she woke up from her daydream.
"It looks like you're tired, Ms. Syifa. You should immediately rest after providing your personal data for the requirements to register your marriage!" said Tom.
"Oh, Sorry. Please wait a minute I'll get you what you need!" said Syifa then sauntered into the house while holding back her laughter and embarrassment.
