30 Days of Pick Up a Mate
Pesantren cottage

After work, Okky invites Kina to eat at the restaurant, to discuss about Mika and Okky's matchmaking. Kina tried to hide her sadness, pura tenggar has become her hobby since childhood.

Staring at the expanse of seafood on the table, Kina's eyes sparkled. "Eat big, in what order sir?"

"Fish anniversary******me" Okky replied with a flat expression.

"Haha, there was just aja, the cup was born normally what sesar sir?"

"Normal, run by the method of the squeeze. I'm pulling his mother's tummy until the baby comes out"

Kina terbahak, "Gugur dong pak his mother the ****, hopefully received charity worship"

"Aamiinu. Eat, the richness of your madness relapses" Okky said. Together with Kina always made her be herself.

Enjoying both seafood, they look like lovers. Moreover, Okky always paid little attention to Kina, such as helping her break the crab shell, opening the clams that are still clenched, opening the drinking bottle for Kina.

Okky's goal is to take Kina to dinner, to cheer up Kina's heart a little. She did not want Kina to be late thinking about the words Mika who must have hurt her heart. Although he was aware, it was already too late to comfort Kina now.

"Ki, what happened in the video, when I was having lunch, right?" Kina nodded, "Kok you didn't tell me the same story?"

"That's it, it's not important, I'm fine sir. Thanks for the attention yes, I am grateful to have a boss as good as the father" Kina gave two thumbs covered in seafood seasoning.

"At least I should know, it will happen in my office ki" she protested, she felt Kina was unwilling to share her burden. Okky likes to complain to him.

"I'm sorry, actually I'm silent because I don't want this problem to be late, I also don't think that anyone recorded the incident"

"But after that incident, did Mika ever attack you again?" Kina shakes.

But it was his other friend who attacked, he said inwardly. Kina hoped that no one would record the incident. He doesn't want to be stamped by the enemies in the office.

"Now about arranged marriage, yesterday the mother is raging, because my cousin who is younger than me wants to marry, inevitably I have to follow the will of the mother about arranged marriage. I don't want to, you keep blaming me"

"How did you feel?"

Okky's eyes widened, "My feelings for you? Why did you arrive wondering?" he said he was wrong himself.

"Not.., the feeling of the father undergoing an arranged marriage. Why is it that you feel rich?" Okky felt stupid, it could be that he misunderstood Kina's question.

"Oh, yes, as you say, I will try first, if a mate is married, if not come to his marriage"

"Haha, I can"

"But, I want you to always accompany me in every process, Ki, I need you"

Kina blinked her eyes many times. It felt very moved, there was someone who thought it was important. Kina was too often ignored by the people around her, even her own father, never cared about her.

Kina Nodded and smiled, holding back her tears that were ready to slide. Okky smiled blandly, her heart felt pinched, seeing Kina happy and eager to help her find a companion.

……

This morning, Okky will be on his first mission. Finding a companion for life, which Mother wants. As Kina said, Okky wanted to show her baktinya to Mommy, the parents who now live only one.

From the past, the happiness of Mother and Okta was a top priority for Okky, he was willing to work hard, day and night, taking care of his own company, since the departure of his father divine lap. Carrying the burden as the head of the family, when friends his age are still busy hanging out and having fun enjoying their parents' money.

"Ki, isn't this a boarding house?" show the location point that you just sent your mother through the chat application.

"Al Faith?! yes, sir"

"Okay, mother how the hell, don't this what his son Pak kiyai meant again" Okky scowled the base of his nose.

"Who knows santriwati there sir, try to go first"

"Ki, what appropriate a man who is far from God rich gini be betrothed to the inhabitants of the boarding school, even though he was just a santriwati there. Not so anyway" Okky started to riled up, repeatedly scolding.

"Remain sure, there?"

"In sha Allah"

After work, Okky and Kina head to the address that Mother gave them. When it reached the point of the location in question, Okky looks frustrated. Sure enough, a fairly large boarding house was in front of their eyes.

Kina got out of the car, her eyes staring at the gate of Pondok Pesantren Al Iman with glassy eyes. This place reminded Kina of her mother.

"Ki, what's wrong with you? how sad?"

"This place, first every week morning, after the dawn prayer, my mother regularly invited me here. Following the general recitation" Kina's tears were unbearable, Kina covered her face "Momuuu, Kina kangen" her tears broke.

Kina cried bitterly. Okky invites her into the car again, holding Kina who is shedding her sorrow. Rubbing the girl's back, Okky tears in her eyes. It turned out that his secretary who always showed off that smile, kept many wounds alone.

"We just go home, I don't want to see you sad like this"

Kina lifted her face, looked at her boss, "Don't I want to go inside, I miss the atmosphere of this dipesantren. I really like to linger here for a long time. After the study, my mother will invite me to sit in the mosque, watching the students and santriwati passing by. Listening to the chants of the Qur'an verse, mothers love it, saying their voices are melodious, reassuring. But, I think the mother was wrong" said Kina, her head bowed again.

"Why?"

"The most melodious voice, yes mother's voice" Kina's eyes glared, remembering the time when she was still with her mother, the only person who blessed her with affection.

Again, Kina's tears poured out, her chest felt tight, her longing for Mom was somehow as big as it was. Okky stroked Kina's head gently. Letting Kina spill all her grief.

"Have you?" Okky looked at Kina who was busy wiping her tears with a tissue "Related, want to come in?" Kina nodded confidently.

"I want to see someone, who knows he's inside"

Okky raised one eyebrow, "Who?" tanyakanya.

"Someone whom I greatly admire, may God bring us together. He must be an adult now"

"Definitely your dream guy, monkey love"

"No.." suddenly Kina held her head, "Astagfirullah, I don't bring a hijab" she said with a panicked face.

"It is mandatory, if you enter here must wear a hijab?"

"No, yes to me" Okky snorted at Kina's reply.

"Say my mother is here where the people of Sholeh, where to draw religious knowledge, do not stain their eyes with our aurat. If you come in here at least close the aurat and submit a view.so mother's message to me"

"That's a hijab shop, buy it over there aja yuk" Okky pulled Kina's hand, heading to the hijab shop across the street.

Okky repeatedly glanced at Kina who looked different from her hijab. The two of them entered the ponpes area on foot, leaving the car by the side of the road.

"Assalamu'alaikum ma'am, may I ask?" greet Kina when she sees a santriwati.

"Yes, sister, I can"

"If Almeera, where does she live?"

"Oh, ning meera, let me drop off"

"May, thank you"

They followed the santriwati, until it arrived at a simple house but quite spacious made of teak wood. Santriwati knocked on the door, and came out a father whom Kina recognized as Kiyai abdullah, the owner of the ponpes.
