In the silent, silent night of the current Dipta, only the sounds of crickets so crowded decorate the atmosphere tonight. Dipta woke up from his sleep, at exactly 02.00 WIB in the morning, Dipta immediately took ablution to the bathroom, and, tonight is the seventh night he is performing the Istikhoroh prayer to get a clue about the choices he must take at this time. Take a scholarship or let go to marry Shakila.
From day to day, night to night, the Creator was more and more convinced of what he would choose. The wider the guidance God gave him and the more steady he chose his choice, and there is no doubt in it.
In his seventh prayer, he began to make decisions. In the early morning hours, he returned to meet Ustadz Irfan, who wanted to talk back about the decision he had made to his trusted teacher.
Dipta met Ustadz Irfan at his home.
"How was it created?" tanya Ustadz Irfan opened the conversation. He knew what the Creator was going to talk to him.
"In Shaa Allah, I am confident in my choice, Ustadz. There is no doubt in it anymore," replied Dipta with a resolute look as firm as his current feelings.
"Well, if you feel sure. Now is the time to meet Shakila and her parents, tell them about your choice. May they accept the results of your decision," said Ustadz Irfan gave confidence and build the confidence of Dipta.
Dipta nodded in approval to Ustadz Irfan's suggestion. He immediately retrieved his HP and contacted Shakila by phone. It didn't take long, Shakila picked up the phone from Dipta. When the voice of the woman behind the phone rang, Ustadz Irfan patted Dipta on the shoulder to give her strength again.
"Hallo... Assalamualaikum A Copy."
"Waalaikumasalam. Shakila, I want to come to the house you want to meet your parents too, can you?" ask Dipta full of confidence.
"When A?" shakila asked with a heart still in confusion. He was guessing about what the Creator would talk to his parents.
"About your parents have plans to go back to Sukabumi not tomorrow Sunday?" ask Dipta who realized that Shakila's parents were not necessarily at his house in Sukabumi.
"Saturday this afternoon, my papah and my mama reached home" Shakila said.
"Well, tell your parents if I want to come this afternoon, can't you?" ask the Creator again.
"Okay A, I'll call my parents first. If I get any news, I'll call Aa again" Shakila replied. But before long, Shakila resumed her conversation.
"If you can tell, what did Aa want to talk to my parents about?" shakila asked curiously. He felt that the fate of his love was at stake by the choice of the Creator. There are only two choices, let Dipta go to college in the capital or vice versa, Dipta chose to marry him and did not take the scholarship.
"You will know later La when I have met your parents," said Dipta who this time a bit lethargic. Because it was in his heart did not have the heart with Shakila, he did not know the choice would later make Shakila happy or vice versa.
"Oh that is," replied Shakila whose tone had changed to lackluster.
"Whatever my choice may be, you should still be sure that I love you, La!" Dipta tries to convince Shakila that her love does not fade even though lately their relationship is not okay after the incident.
"I love A Dipta too" said Shakila whose tone did not change in the slightest. There was still doubt in his heart that the choice of the Creator later was not what he wanted.
Seeing Dipta shed his tears, Ustadz Irfan also felt bitter because he felt what Dipta felt. He did not expect as soft as the heart of Dipta, a boy who had been orphaned when he was still in High School. A beautiful boy he had never met before. How lucky Shakila was to be able to get her sincere love.
Instantly a shadow of Shakila was present again in the memory of Ustadz Irfan. He was sure that what he saw in the free field at that time was right Shakila. And again he also remembered the man where Shakila bamja was not the Creata who was currently crying over the fate of his love.
Seeing the sadness of Dipta, Ustadz Irfan felt no need to tell about this. Because this will complicate the problem of Dipta and Shakila. Hopefully the choice of Dipta later is not wrong because until now Ustadz Irfan also did not know what the results of the Istikhoroh prayer that was done by Dipta. He also did not want to ask if Dipta did not tell.

That afternoon according to his promise, Dipta wanted to meet with Shakila's parents and they also allowed Dipta to come to visit and talk about the purpose of his arrival.
Dipta comes just in time that is ba'da ashar. Shakila's parents had been waiting for her in the living room, and Shakila was already preparing to welcome her lover.
This time Shakila clothes again wear a veil and clothes Muslimah as usual Dipta met him. It looks very sweet with a purple veil and purple and pink tones. Not to forget he put lipgloss on his lips.
Dipta also said greetings from the door of Shakila house, before long Shakila opened the door and welcomed his arrival. Seeing the sweet Shakila with a dress wrapped in Muslim clothes and a veil on his head made Dipta fall in love for the umpteenth time with the sweet woman. Dipta smiled at Shakila who was smiling at her at the time.
Dipta's look this time is also more tidy, he wears black jeans and a gray shirt. Looks casual, looks. Shakila was no less enchanted with the appearance of Dipta.
Shakila also invited the Creator in. Arriving inside, Dipta immediately greeted Shakila's parents who were already sitting in her guest chair. They also let the Creator sit down. His face Shakila instantly opened their conversation at the very core of the meeting.
"alright. Dipta, I heard from Shakila that you wanted to talk to us about your relationship, ", said Mr. Bili.
"Yes sir, right. I have prayed to make my choice. In Shaa Allah I am sure of the choice I will choose." Created to build his confidence.
"So how? You accept my offer?" ask Mr. Bili curious.
"By not diminishing my respect for Father and Mother, nor did it diminish my affection for Shakila, I apologize, I cannot shout out my offer. I have to go to college. Sorry again, especially to Shakila. But there is something Shakila needs to know, my love for her will never change, I hope Shakila can wait for me to graduate and work. But if in the middle of the road, Shakila felt unable to wait for me, then all the choices are in the hands of Shakila. I wouldn't force Shakila's will if I wanted to get away from me." Dipta revealed the essence of his arrival quite clearly. He stared at Shakila's face deeply, he had to accept this bitter reality. Shakila could not help but cry, she just left Dipta and her parents in the living room, she went to her room and closed the door. Seeing her beloved daughter crying from injury, Ms. Sinta immediately approached Shakila to her room.
"You've seen for yourself, haven't you seen how Shakila's condition hears of your unexpected choice? She loves you so much that she has no desire to pursue her goal of becoming a health worker, she only aspires to be your wife. But what power have you chosen. Just pray Shakila will be fine without you." Mr. Bili is trying hard to accept the choice of Dipta. But not how long Ms. Sinta came out and talked to Dipta.
"Created, forgive Shakila, he is not used to experiencing rejection like this but he hopes to wait for you until you graduate and have a job" said Bu Sinta conveying Shakila's heart.
"alright. Mother, Father also Shakila can keep my promise. I would go back to Shakila if I had graduated and worked. I will not betray his love" promised the Creator with full confidence.
Will everything go well? Can the company really keep its promise? Is Shakila willing to wait?
