Why marry me, Gus?
chapter 15

Wirda POV

Today I heard some pretty shocking news from my best friend. Who would be my best friend if not Arin? I couldn't sleep all night after hearing Arin's words.

"I don't know the same person either. When I got home, suddenly I was home. And you know there's a guy named Huda calling me."

That's the word Arin said to me. Clearly, Arin mentioned the name of a man. And that man's name is pretty familiar to my ears.

Called Huda. Son of Ustadz Wahab.

When Arin told me about this man named Huda, I actually knew the man. I don't know him personally, but I know this guy. I know who Huda is I know who Ustadz Wahab's son is.

Why would I know? Because I've idolized Mas Huda for a long time.

Yeah, I've known about Mas Huda for a long time. But it seems that Arin doesn't know that I actually know about Mas Huda and already know the man first.

I was really surprised and unexpected. It's not that I'm not happy with Arin's proposal. I'm happy that Arin was proposed by the man my friend likes. It's just, I really didn't think that the person who would propose to my best friend was the man I admired.

Yes, I feel jealous of Arin. I feel not accepting. Why is a handsome man who has seeds, bebet, and good weights like Mas Huda actually have to propose to a wayward girl like Arin? I really didn't think it out. Moreover, Arin said that he did not know Mas Huda at all. Why is Arin so lucky?

Plus, the thing that makes me upset is Arin's attitude that rejects the proposal with childish reasons. Huda is clearly a dream husband. Huda has everything that women love.

Huda is not only good-natured and comes from a distinguished family, but Huda is also a type of man who is not rude and soft-spoken. Not only the family and the ethics are a plus, the face of Huda itself is also very handsome. Huda is the complete package. Handsome, well-established, and also polite. What else is Arin looking for? It is possible that my friend rejected Huda for unreasonable reasons.

Sometimes I feel like God has been unfair to me. If Arin did not like Huda, why did God have to let Mas Huda propose to Arin? Why wasn't I the one proposed by Mas Huda? Why wasn't I the one Mas Huda was looking for? why is it that a wayward girl like Arin gets a proposal from a perfect guy like Mas Huda?

I'm really upset at the fate that brought Arin to Mas Huda. But I can't do anything to change things either.

I finally got a nice message from Arin. Maybe I can change things if I can meet Mas Huda.

[Wir, then I went to the boarding house, yes!]

Today Arin took me to a boarding school to meet Mas Huda. Of course I immediately agreed to Arin's invitation. I will not waste this opportunity.

[Ok! I wait!]

I hope, I can attract the attention of Mas Huda when I meet him there. Maybe I can make Mas Huda turn away from Arin.

"We'll just wait here, Rin!" I said to Arin as I waited for Mas Huda's arrival at the cottage.

I turned towards the santri who kept looking at me with a piercing look. I began to be uncomfortable and uncomfortable to be a spectacle of the santri there. It's possible that they keep seeing me and Arin, because we're wearing less appropriate clothes in the boarding house area. But luckily the feeling of unease that had enveloped me since then began to disappear, when I saw the appearance of Mas Huda.

When I met Mas Huda, I fell in love with him. Mas Huda is really a gentle and polite man. There's no way a woman would hate a man like this. All of Mas Huda's attitude and words fascinated me even more.

"Come, we pray together first!" mas Huda said, I am amazed.

Mas Huda's friendly and warm attitude really made me calm and comfortable. Mas Huda's personality is completely inversely proportional to Arin's. Too bad Mas Huda didn't propose to me. As Arin said, I also felt that I was a suitable partner and would be compatible with Mas Huda.

All the things Mas Huda did made me love that man even more. "I'm going home, okay?"

Although the sentence was intended for Arin, but indirectly Mas Huda also took me home. Mas Huda is a man of concern. After finishing helping me and Arin take care of the leaking tyres, Mas Huda still offered to drive us home, despite the city's considerable distance from Tubansari village.

If I were to become Arin, I would definitely be very happy to get this kind of attention from a man as good as Mas Huda. But strangely, Arin actually increasingly disliked Mas Huda. I really don't know what Arin's mind is. If I were to become Arin, maybe I would be the happiest girl because of Mas Huda.

I was soaring again when Arin again invited me to go to Tubansari village. I can get a chance to meet Mas Huda again. Of course I won't reject Arin's invitation.

However, I found something unexpected about Mas Huda. Just as Arin was surprised by the boy who called Mas Huda as father, I was also completely shocked and did not expect that Mas Huda had children.

But even so, my taste of love for Mas Huda will not diminish in the slightest. Mas Huda remains the man I like the most. The appearance of the child of Mas Huda actually brought benefits to me. Arin can cancel Mas Huda's proposal, and I can take the opportunity to get close to Mas Huda by taking advantage of the little boy.

My admiration grew even more after I heard the explanation from Pak Agung about the son of Mas Huda. "Ustadz Wahab said that Huda raised the son of his dead brother. The kid you saw was actually Huda's niece. But because his parents are dead, so appointed the same child Huda," said Mr. Agung when straightening misunderstandings between Arin and Mas Huda.

Mas Huda is really a good guy. In his bachelor years, the man was willing to raise his nephew as a son and nurture him like his own son. But strangely, Arin still continues to vilify Mas Huda. It was as if there was nothing good to praise from Mas Huda.

"What if you try to make the Wahab Ustadz family do not like you. Maybe, you can start with ... be disrespectful to the Wahab Ustadz family? They must immediately dislike you and will cancel this proposal," I told Arin when giving advice for the girl to find a way to destroy her marriage with Mas Huda.

I hope Arin accepts my advice and actually does this to derail his marriage. I really hope, Arin doesn't get married to Mas Huda. I really hope, Arin doesn't get married to Mas Huda.
