After the incident Najwa never bothered Gus Azmi again. When he was picket Gus Azmi was never seen in ndalem. Being betrothed was indeed one definite answer that made Gus Azmi stop bothering him. Najwa was relieved, but she felt guilty for lying.
Actually Najwa is not sure the reason Gus Azmi often bothers him, but even if there is a certain purpose at least the answer Najwa can stop Najwa heart to hope more because of the differences of their nasab.
"It must be painful if you already like it but do not approve..." Inner Najwa.
Therefore, before the defense of Najwa's heart broke, Najwa had removed the poop so as not to develop into a flower.
A week later was his schedule of teaching in the Najwa class. It was not at all that Gus Azmi looked at Najwa. Even when Najwa asked when he explained, he was cold as if he had never known him. Gus Azmi had indeed stopped obsessing over approaching him. His sense of relief, but also hurt because Najwa already got his attention even in a strange way.
One month had passed, and Najwa lived his days well, as did Gus Azmi. While leaving for college, Gus Azmi suddenly rediscovered the silly question paper he asked Najwa. His reading made Gus Azmi laugh to herself and was reminded of the unique Najwa.
"Honey.., you belong to someone else Najwa.... Otherwise, I'll never let you go...." Honest Gus Azmi.
When reading the last question he was curious about Najwa's answer because yesterday Gus Azmi had not had time to read it.
_nothing I like about njenengan (you). If I like it, I'm stupid because I expect more from the njengan. A santri will never be worthy of Gus e. Especially santri like me_
From the statement suddenly Gus Azmi thinks that Najwa's answer in question number 5 is a lie. Gus Azmi felt Najwa was deliberately answered to have been betrothed because he felt inappropriate for her.
"Why are you in such a hurry Azmi concluded about Najwa.... Watch you! If you're proven to be lying.., watch out...!" Tekad Gus Azmi.
After that Gus Azmi looking for ustadz Qosim to be invited to find a house from Najwa. Gus Azmi wants to know the truth of the facts that Najwa has revealed.
"Isn't there a Gus lecture today?" Ask ustadz Qosim while wearing his helmet.
"Calm down.., I've permission.... Ditching a day is okay...." Bright Gus Azmi who began to advance his motorbike.
That day without a second thought Gus Azmi immediately left for Tulungagung. Only using GPS based on the address written by Najwa, he was determined to Tulungagung, even though he had never been there at all.
"Hopefully he didn't lie with his home address." The ink in the heart.
Coincidentally there was one of Gus Azmi's friends at Langitan's cottage located in Tulungagung city. While driving, Gus Azmi asked ustadz Qosim to find the phone number. His name was Sulton, a santri who respected Gus Azmi. And thank God they found his phone number and his home address. Indeed, if there is no sustenance where. It turned out that the address they were going to was not far from Najwa's house. And Alhamdulillah he also knew the family of Najwa.
At 19:00 wib they just arrived at the residence of Sulton.
"Alhamdulillah...! Gus Azmi..," his friend directly sungkem ta'dzim.
"Thank you for visiting...." His words are full of gratitude.
"Yes.... Thank God, if this is not the case, I also do not know your house...." Honest Gus Azmi.
"Monggo pinarak..,(please enter)"
"Yes..," Gus Azmi and Ustadz Qosim entered the house. They were warmly welcomed by the family. After a short chat, Gus Azmi is asked to eat.
"Monggos...! Like Gus..," said Sulton ta'dzim.
"Yes.., ayow eat together, just as usual as in the cottage first...." Take Gus Azmi.
Sulton hesitated to agree to it because of his affection.
"Yes...!" Forced Gus Azmi.
And they ended up eating with a tray like in the cottage first.
After eating, Gus Azmi finally explained his purpose of coming to Tulungagung.
"How's Gus.... Can I help you with gus?" Ask his friend directly.
"How yes..," Gus Azmi confusedly started it. He finally beckoned ustadz Qosim to explain it.
"I'm finally talking too." Ustadz Qosim.
"You're the more expert...,😁" joked Gus Azmi.
"Bigini mas.., actually gini.... The intention of Gus Azmi coming all the way here was only to find out about Abdullah's father's son and Salsabila's mother named Najwa Qumaira ...." Ustadz Qosim until memorized by the names that Gus Azmi often told.
"Ooowww.., the girl. .." Sulton.
"To my knowledge, the daughter of ustadz Abdullah was in Gus' cottage...." Sulton.
"That's not the point..,"Gus Azmi hesitated to continue.
"Live Gus..," forced ustadz Qosim.
"Yes-yes...!" Gus Azmi replied a little gerogi.
"Gus Azmi wants to know if the daughter of Ustadz Abdullah has indeed been betrothed?" Ask ustadz Qosim at last.
" Wait for Gus Azmi to speak until the morning I am here." inner ustadz Qosim.
"Ooow so.., if from the knowledge of my family, no one is betrothed from the family of ustadz Abdullah...." Sulton mantab.
"Knew...! Because there are often those who ask his daughter but ustadz Abdullah subtly rejects her, because her daughter is still in education."
"It's a relief, isn't it Gus...?" Ask ustadz Qosim. But it still seemed Gus Azmi was hesitant about the explanation.
"Just about a month ago there was news, there was a family asking for an arranged marriage with her daughter, but she still refused.... He said let his daughter choose the best for her partner.... He never agreed to Gus' betrothal, because he was very dear to his daughter and it was known to all the citizens here...." Sulton's light is long.
"Alhamdulillah..," said Gus Azmi relieved.
"Why Tow Gus?" Tanya Sulton was curious.
"It's nothing." Gus Azmi smiled.
"This is Gus e again exposed to the virus love mas...! So the nights get here because they want to propose to Najwa.., ", joked ustadz Qosim.
"What a tow sim!" Gus Azmi's speech was spontaneous.
"Not to be angry, Gus... That's the truth, isn't it?" Temptation ustadz Qosim that makes Gus Azmi can not say anything more.
"Where does Gus Azmi know Najwa?" Tanya Sulton was curious.
That night they talked until night. Until yai Marfu'ah's mother called Gus Azmi because she did not come home.
"Sorry Umi, Azmi did not say goodbye.... The rush."
"Other times if you want to travel alone first Gus.., let Abah and Umi not worry...." Umi's message.
"Yes umi.., sorry...." Gus Azmi regrets his actions.
"Yes, be careful...! Assalamualaikum...."
"Waalaikumsalam..," umi hung up on her.
"Why Gus?" Ask ustadz Qosim.
"We say goodbye to Sulton, next time it's connected again...." Gus Azmi finally said.
"Yes Gus..., Gus Azmi Don't want to know the house of Najwa's family? Mumpung here..," said Sulton.
After deliberating for a while, Gus Azmi finally decided to stop by Najwa house mosque.
"Thank you all, Sulton.... Sorry to bother.., greetings to your mother...." Gus Azmi's Message.
"Yes gus.., if you visit here often even thank me." replied Sulton with a smile.
"Goddessa.., assalamualaikum...."
"Goddessalam...."
Finally that night at 23:00 WIB they just returned to Jombang. But before that they stopped by Najwa's house. According to Sulton, Gus Azmi and Ustadz Qosim easily found Najwa's house. At that time it was seen Najwa's father was still chatting in the mushola with his friends. Gus Azmi wears a mask, so he is not worried that Najwa's father will recognize him.
"Excuse me.... Go to the bathroom, sir...." Permission ustadz Qosim.
"Yes.., please...! The bathroom was behind the mas.." replied Najwa's father politely.
Ustadz Qosim went straight to the bathroom as Najwa's father had directed him.
"Excuse me sir..," Gus Azmi got off his bike and then sat down on the terrace of the mosque.
"Where are you from? How's night-night?" Ask Najwa's father at last.
"From a friend's house, sir, talk until you forget time, it's already night...." Honestly Gus Azmi who was a little groggy talk with Najwa's parents.
"Where's his friend's house?" Ask one of Najwa's father's friends.
"That's sir.., Sulton's house Yasin's father's son...." Unmistakably.
"Oummer...,"
Gus Azmi and Najwa's father chatted for a while while waiting for Ustadz Qosim from the bathroom.
"Let's Gus...!" Sapa ustadz Qosim.
"Yes.., if you'll excuse me sir.... Thank you.., assalamualaikum" Pamit Gus Azmi.
"Goddessam....."
That day Gus Azmi was really happy to know the truth about Najwa. He was also grateful that Najwa was the son of a respectable family, so if at any time Gus Azmi asked his father and mother's permission to propose to Najwa, they would not hesitate with Najwa's family background. Najwa is not the daughter of a kyai who has a large cottage like her, but Najwa is a Sholehah woman. Gus Azmi believes Najwa's parents must have provided a good education for his children. Whether it is about religious education, morality, or ethics to socialize with others. Gus Azmi believes his parents would agree that he proposed to Najwa.
"God willing, I am serious with you Najwa.... May we be fooled.... Aamiin's." Do'a her in heart.
