Hi Mr. Din.\-Assalamualaikum.
Wa'alaikumussalam. This is my wife.
How odd come here? -I was transit from Roma
After attending the first moslem chatolic forum & met Paus 16th.
What event is this? -We are holding Indonesian food festival & bazaar.
Oh, great.
The dancers from Aceh or where?
Ya, Acehnese students who're studying in Cairo.
Thanks -You're welcome.
Wow, excellent.
I amazed there's a student like bro Azam.
Thanks a lot sis El.
Would u like to taste bakso? Since yesterday u have no time.
Ya I was busy.
I still have to work, wait a minute.
Brother Azam, bro Azam.
Brother Azam, where have u been?
I've called u 27 times to your room but no answer.
I've important thing to talk to bro Azam. Hurry up.
Sis El, have u sholat? -Ah! I'll do later.
We have to finish ur important job tonight.
Lho. my job has done, right? Till finished last afternoon.
Done at all as my promise, right?
Bro Azam allright.
But, actually there's a serious problem I have to talk to u.
I think only u, the only one can help me.
Hey, daydreaming! -Astaghfirrullah.
Bro, essentially it's between u & I as friend.
Not as employer & employee.
May I know, what's wrong?
The last event at the beach tonight, bro.
Papa gets his friend visit, Indonesian ambassador for Turkey. Mr. Junaidi.
Mr. Junaidi is papa's friend when studied at the university in Yogyakarta.
So, what's wrong?
Papa will give surprise with special menu like they were in Parangtritis beach.
Menus are hot rice, roasted fish & Yogya's special sambal.
I promise, u will get special thing from me.
Bro, it's all about Papa's credibility to me.
If I can not manage roasted fish, how about another important thing?
Let's bro, we almost have no time.
I have had no seasonings. -We buy, shopping together.
First, I'll call Mr. Ali.
Because Mr. Ali knows Alexandria entirely. Wait a minute.
Zaitun oil please, Mr. Ali. -With this one?
Just a few will make more delicious.
Thanks.
Wow… Here it is!
Please, sir.
Wow! It smells similar, bro Jun. -Right. Excellent.
The atmosphere has similar with Parangtritis, but unfortunately
the beach smells less fishy, yeah less fishy.
Alam! More delicious if we eat by hand directly.
Yes, sure. Good.
Furqan.
Ya, we're in California. -Really?
Pa, this is my friend that I tolld u. Furqon.
Good night, sir. -Yes.
Let's go -Excuse me, sir.
Azzam. Azzam!
Wait a moment, Mr. Ali.
How are u? -Ahamdulillah, fine. U're so cool, Fur.
How could u. -It seems that u're getting closer with Mr. Ambassador.
How about ur S2? -Insyaallah begin this month.
U have to come, u will make me more confident. -Insyaallah.
Yeah, Mr. Ambassador said that he satisfied with ur roasted fish.
Excellent. -Alhamdulillah.
Last time I would call u, but we're different orbit.
How could u. Don't make me silly.
I'm really sure u will be a great guy. -Amen Ya Rab-
Assalamualaikum. -Bro Azam, why do u go home earlier.
Sorry, I'm so tired. -Why u don't tell me.
Whatever, thanks a lot, uncle Junaidi & Papa very satisfied.
They said, roasted fish is most delicious.
I get praise. -Lucky u.
Bro Azzam -Ya.
Exactly I wanna give u special prize that I've promised, but u've gone.
What's that? -Curious?
Special kiss, gift that u will never ever to forget. A frenchkiss.
Sorry sis, that's not a prize, but disaster.
Disaster?! Bro, can u explain why u call it disaster?
Hello! Damned. How dare he close my phone.
I just suggest u.
Better u never fall in love with sis Eliana weirdly.
And no need imagine her in ur dream.
Why sir? -Doesn't match.
Everyone who wants to get married must have the same ideology & lifestyle.
True? To achieve harmonious family.
About her religion, bro Azzam knew better.
How long had Mr. Ali became Mr. Ambassador's driver?
Before Mr. Alam become ambassador. I knew all Eliana's behavior.
Doesn't match with u bro.
If Eliana wears hijab looks so pretty sir!
Nicole Kidman is beautiful too if wears hijab.
Not just the veiled woman suchlike who match to be bro Azzam's wife, doesn't she?
I actually wanted to match u with my Quran teacher's daughter.
Her name's Anna Althafunnisa, S2 student of kuliyatul banat at Al-azhar Cairo.
I've never heard that name Mr. Ali. But I almost knew all Indonesian students in Cairo.
Of course, she graduated S1 from kuliyatul banat Al-azhar Alexandria (here).
And she takes S2 at kuliyatul banat Al-azhar Cairo.
She is so elegant, soleehah. Daughter from low-profile ulama/ustadz.
From Wangen Polanharjo. -I knew that city Mr. Ali, near my village.
His name's Syeikh Luthfi Hakim, he wants her daughter gets married immediately.
I think she deserves u, bro Azzam. U have to get her quickly.
Before she's applied by another guy. -Ow, it's hard for me Mr. Ali.
If I have to return to Indonesia. I already sent money for my sisters & mother in Indonesia.
Oo, u can apply her here. Ustadz Luthfi's brother is here studying for his S3.
His name's Ustadz Mujjab, u know?
I know him sir. He is my tempe subscriber, I often visit him.
The matter... as student, tempe & bakso seller, do I deserve Ustadz's daughter?
Why u feel so inferior? Hei! Haji Luthfi is sincere guy.
He don't care about property, never ever. U can try!
Eh! Mr. Ali hungry? Let's buy food?
Bro Azzam… bro. You were sought by sis Eliana.
Sounds, she was angry with u. Meet & apologize to her.
Apologize for what? -Maybe u had said something wrong.
It's not bad to say sorry. Instead she angry.
She can endanger our position. -Mi... Mi.
U're so scare about ur luck in danger. Eliana is only angry with me.
Not like that, u know? Functioner anger often make civil difficult.
Eliana is not functioner. -Her father is functioner, isn't he?
If she asked to kick us, we're kicked off. I can return to Pamekasan.
Right Mr. Ali ? -I don't know! That's your opinion!
Next time I'll meet her. Where will u go?
Swim, bro.
Maduranese's words can to be true.
Eliana seems angry, but I don't know why she is angry.
Better u're defeatist. -I don't mind, but I don't want to sacrifice my prestige.
U know by yourself, Eliana always talks frankly.
She said, she needed husband who could guide her.
Honestly she told me about all her ex boyfriends.
Good. -She had ever dated 5 times. First, when she was in high school in Jakarta.
4 times when she was in college in France. The last her boyfriend was whiteguy.
Astaghfirullah.
Eliana realized, she wasn't in line with their lifestyle.
Honestly, not only her beauty that makes me like her but also her potential.
If be directed to the right path, sure it will useful to mankind.
What kind of potential? -U know by yourself, her writings in France & English are superb!
She also has charm artistry. If we use it for religious proselytizing,
it has extraordinary impact!
Now she is playing soap opera in Jakarta. She'll be a public figure.
What if the opposite happens? Do u really know who Eliana is?
I'm so sure, she has willingness to be better.
And will be better if handled by those who can guide her.
That's the repentance & guidance concept, isn't?
Then, what makes u confused? You've selected. You're sure.
My problem, I had already applied kuliyatul banat Al-Azhar student.
She still haven't given answer to me now, Zam.
She also beautiful. If I cancel, they called me an inconsistent guy.
But I can not wait too long.
Who can refuse handsome boy's applies, a master candidate of Cairo University?
U don't know, who's the girl I'm applying?
She is so elegant, Zam. -Istikharah, ask for Allah's guidance.
Of course. By the way Eliana returns to Cairo joint the group, take care of her.
I actually want to ask bro Azzam. Why get a frenchkiss prize is disaster?
Sis El, everyone should have principle of life. Usually based on the faith to be truth.
Right? -Ya.
My principle of life is based on Al-Quran & hadist.
In our religion, the holiness thing is primary issue.
It proved, why at the 1st lesson in fiqih books are explanations about thaharah (holiness).
So that readers always maintain their body & soul holiness.
One of holiness that must be maintained is the relationship between man & woman.
If I made kissing with woman who forbidden to me,
it means I had tarnished her holiness & mine, didn't it?
Sorry sis El it means a disaster for me.
Perhaps, they will call me fogy, hick, ancient & primitive. I don't care.
I'm happy with what I believed to be true.
Sis El had ever studied in country that cherish the freedom.
I'm sure sis El enable appreciate my opinion & faith.
Thanks a lot.
``One of holiness that must be maintained is the relationship between man & woman."
Where are Nasir & Hafiz? Nasir had asked permission, may not come home.
He would to Tanta. Hafiz will be staying at his friend's house in Katamia.
Available. From who? Wait a moment.
Dil, Cut Mala ur sister.
Go again bro? Yes, visit to Ustadz Mujjab.
What's happen, Zam? May I help u? As long as it is not a matter of capital.
Bro Azzam, next week I ordered 5 tempes. -Yes, madam.
I hope Ustadz Mujjab will help me apply someone for me.
Her name's Anna Althafunnisa. -It's hard, Zam.
It's difficult to help u, Anna Althafunnisa has been applied by ur own mate.
Furqan. -Furqon? -Forget it, better u're looking for another girl.
There're still a lot of Indonesian girls who are studying in Cairo.
Yes Ustadz, I'm looking for the girl who has quality like Anna Althafunnisa.
Had u ever met Anna? -Not yet. -Saw her photo?
U're weird, Zam. How could u, with confidence want to apply for Anna?
Never met her. Never saw her photo.
What basis do u use as instruction? -Feeling, Ustadz.
Zam, married isn't enough based on feeling. Now she is proposing her S2 thesis.
Let's me know, what kind of husband candidates who deserve to Anna?
At least, Anna wants a husband who has the same intellectual level or better than her.
e.g. Furqan. He qualifies for Anna's criteria. He is master candidate.
He will continue his S3.
``If I were Anna's parent when there're 2 students come to me"
``The one always study hard & the other one always busy create tempe & bakso"
``Sorry, Zam. I prefer the one who always study hard. I don't mean to offend u"
``But I want u be realistic. Try feel, what Cairo says about love?"
Hi, Nur Aina. -Hi, friend.
Had u ever applied by? -Yes, twice. I refuse all.
Why? -Because I'm not sure can really love him.
Although he is religious guy? -Religion is the main requirement.
2nd terms is I should be able to love him. Though religious guy, but has stinky body
how I can totally love him with soul & body.
Is there anyone else who wants to apply for u?
I'm confused, Uncle. I also wanna finish my master.
Now I've been waiting Prof. Amani's answer about my thesis proposal.
Give answer 1st. -Ur Aunt's words is true, An.
Furqan isn't in hurry. He can wait u till graduate.
I don't really know Furqan.
Just knew if he had ever became chairman of BPMI.
I'm not sure, can I love him. But it's hard to refuse him.
Slow down, sis Anna. Wait till u so sure. Consider good & bad.
If the applicant has no patient, let's retreat. Don't be hasty, sis.
Choose a lifepartner is important for our future & the afterlife.
So, must be accurate and fully consideration.
From where, bro?
Who is he? -Friend from Tanta. He will stay here.
U have been in Egypt for a long time. U ought to know how to be careful.
U're careless, Sir!
U should look for the reasons in order that he doesn't live here.
As leader in this house, I've no tolerance! -Please, help only this once.
We must respect to guest. -U think I can't respect to guest!
Don't a lot of niceties such as in village! -I'll try, bro.
No blaberring! Ur utterances must be the same like what I said.
Ok bro.
Ya Allah! Bro Fadhil, what's up? -Bro Fadhil fainted last night, Mala.
Mala, I'm out. -Yes, bro.
Tiara's really shocked, bro! How did it happen?
Just miss understanding, Tiara. Mabahits think the criminal who is being sought by them
is in our house. -Then, u get hurt? -No! I was shocked remember father's incident in Aceh.
Afterwards, I fainted & then brought to here.
That's how, sis. Since childhood, bro Fadhil was weak of heart.
If Wail stay at that night, we could arbitrarily be dragged to jail.
Apparently, Wail Al-ahdal was a criminal who was sought.
I'm sory, bro. I didn't think would happen like this.
For a while, delete Wail Al-ahdal's name of ur memory. -I swear, bro.
Maybe, police is still looking for u. Be reasonable when u're questioned.
Answer the only need.
If u have bussy schedule, u don't have to be here. Never mind.
Yes, bro. I also want make my mother & father proud of me.
I want to graduate with honours very good.
Therefore, u have to study hard. Perhaps, I'll have returned home tomorrow.
Bro Azzam, sorry if bro Fadhil has troubled you.
The disaster came from Allah, therefore no trouble anyone.
I'll talk to ur brother for a while. -Please.
How about ur condition? -I'm ok, never mind.
Bro, may I return home this afternoon? -Why? U're still requiring intensive care.
Feared that u had a light concussion.
That's right, Dhil. Better wait till u're healthy. -Frankly, I almost have no money.
Moreover, my sister. It's impossible ask for money from mother in Aceh.
Don't worry, let us take care. It's essential that u be healthy.
What level is ur sister now, Dhil? -Three, bro. She is beautiful, isn't she?
It depends if she hasn't yet been applied, beautiful. It's standard if she be applied.
Later, don't allow ur sister return home alone. Today, the situation is rather vulnerable.
Let them accompanied by Hafiz or the other.
Dearest, bro Azzam. Money to buy a new motorcycle, better for sis Sarah.
Dr. Darmo said if tonsillectomy isn't done quickly to Sarah, it will get worse.
Sarah will be vulnerable to disease. Moreover, my Mio motor is still good, isn't it?
1.320 Pound.
Alhamdulillah. This is sis Sarah's luck.
Fur, it's ur mother using Aisyah's phone.
What's wrong mom? -Your sister suffer severe bleeding.
In fact, her pregnancy age has just in 5 months. She really needs me.
Syahrul is being on duty in Aceh. So, he isn't possible to return home suddenly.
Then. -Maybe I can not go to Cairo -Father can go, doesn't he?
He doesn't want to go without me.
Doesn't want to see how Furqan defends a thesis?
Once in a lifetime, mom. -Essentially, all we in Indonesia are praying for ur success.
Record the event with handycam for us.
Allright, mom. May sister & her gestation are safe.
What's going on? -I wanna tell my feelings about Cut Mala.
Almost several days I can't sleep, her face always in my mind.
Wudu' & read Al-Quran. Insyaallah her image will disappear of ur mind.
I've done, bro. -So, then.
Infact, her face dancing on the verses that I'm reading.
Wow, that's danger, Fiz. -Why bro? -You're suffering paranoid.
How could you, bro.
It's Allah's warning of ur unusual lifestyle, Fur.
As a student u should live wistfully. Not be extravagance.
Just for ppreparing the thesis u have to stay in a hotel.
Whereas during this time u stay at a luxury apartment.
Maybe there's no Cairo student who stay at apartment as luxurious as u, Fur.
Then, what should I do, Ustadz? If so, meet Mr. Usdan.
Insyaallah, he can help u. He has a lot of friends & police.
Alright, I'll try.
Nah, are u really sure that Azzam has sent the money?
Bro Dayat inform me, mom. He has internet. I also wanna study internet.
So, if sending a letter to bro Azzam can be more fast.
Ok mom, we will meet at the hospital. -Mom, sis Husna going where?
Going to the bank, take the money.
Can I help u, sis? -As usual, taking money.
Yes, true. U also from Indonesia? -Yes, true.
May I know, where's Darut Tauziah book store? -Wait a minute.
Front halte, on the left side of the road. U can see its name.
I'll be down there too. -Yes, thanks.
I usually buying at stores around Al-Azhar campus.
What's happen, ukhti? -We had the misfortune.
Ukhti Ernes' wallet had been picked by pickpoket on bus. I saw him.
I yelled, then the mugger jumped off the bus. I asked to stop, but the driver didn't hear.
My wallet containing $ 200 & 75 pound and important papers.
We have just realized that exactly no money to get home.
My money has run out to buy book. -Where do u live?
In Abdul Rasul.
Where are the books? -Left on the bus. We really don't remember when got down.
How long has the bus gone? -About 15 minutes ago.
Follow me.
That's the bus!
Nothing is missing? -Alhamdulillah, still complete. Thanks for helping.
I think u can go on foot it's near from ur home, right? I've to return home now.
If too long here, the driver will ask an extra cost.
Ok, thanks for helping us bro. -Don't mention it.
Bro, what's ur name? -Abdullah.
Shopping, bro?
Wow, that's creative. Remember, no less sweet but also not too sweet.
It will be the size how much u love Cut Mala.
Really, bro? -Yes.
Wish me luck. -Yes.
There are fruits in the refrigerator, bring to them & get out soon.
Don't disturb people are chatting.
Bro Azzam looks like never tired.
Almost the occupants in this house ever helped by Azzam, including me.
U know, he paid all the cost of care at the hospital yesterday.
But I'll repay. I'm uncomfortable with him. He also has many responsibilities to his family.
He's handsome, why hasn't yet got married?
Don't be busy bro. -Everything has available.
Please. -Thanks, bro.
Hafiz is the master of all Palembang people in making pempek.
O, really? -How could u.
Sorry, I should take another thing. -Bring here all, bro.
So, I can bring to home. -Sure, there are carrot, cabbage & potato. Want?
Why not the refrigerator?
Certainly, he's handsome. -He is interesting, but I forgot to introduce my name.
Cause, he didn't ask me. -I'm afraid he already had a wife.
Bro Azzam. Surprise. -Preparation. I should pass this time. Special if I could.
Amen, insyaallah. -Thank u.
What's the girl's name? Why didn't I ask her name?
I'm sure, he is more elegant than Anna Althafunnisa.
Available. Wait a minute. From who? Sis Eliana, wait a moment.
Bro, phone for u. -I'm shampooing, Li. -Pause, it's from sis Eliana.
She said important -Tell her to call back later.
So, ur birthday is definitely celeberated in the guesthouse? -Yes mom, definitely.
Rarely, people are called by Ambassador's daughter. Moreover, beautiful.
I'm sure, she will not call again. Better u call her back.
Who knows, there's a huge business bro.
Anyhow Nang, the fortune has written in the Lauh Mahfuzh.
Available. Wait a moment, sis.
What's up sis El?
Next month, my birthday & I'll celebrate at the guesthouse.
Simple but impressive. My plan is giving the invitees with typical food of Indonesia.
Do u have idea? -How about soto Lamongan?
U can? -Soto Lamongan?!
With fried duck too. -Wow, that's difficult.
Insyaallah, I can. How much? -300 portions.
Able? -Sure, as long as we deal in cost.
U ask how much? Same with bakso?
Wow, that's hard cause soto Lamongan has complicated seasoning.
Need special skill. Maybe this is the 1st soto Lamongan that appears in Cairo.
How about twice the price of bakso? -Ok, deal. It's up to bro Azzam.
But don't be made fit in 300 portions, it must have bonus.
Of course, sis. Exactly date month time, when?
Date 1, next month, 7 pm.
A week earlier I'll remind u. Completely, Mr. Ali gives u DP (downpayment).
That's good. U know, I'm still mediocre capital businessman.
How could u. Ok, best regards for ur friends. -Yes, insyaallah.
New business, bro? Earlier, I heard about soto Lamongan.
Eliana ordered soto Lamongan for her birthday. -Do u can?
There u are, right? -Uch, u're inconsequential. Reckless.
Better, u cancel it rather than ur reputation ruined because of soto Lamongan.
It's not easy, bro. I'm a native of Lamongan can't do it.
Your mother can do it, doesn't she? -Yes, she can. I assure u.
Call to Lamongan, ask completely ur mother about the seasoning.
I'll pay the charge. Easy, isn't it? It's utilizing a challenge become opportunities.
All has calculations not inconsequential, Nang.
I agreed because has friend native of Lamongan. That's all. -Die me.
Li. -Yes.
This special order for Ust. Abumawat Temanggung, be precedence.
Ok, directly receive the money? -Of course, he already knew the amount.
Li. Give it to Yasir, say that the other one hasn't finished yet.
Tiara can't answer now, Dad. Give me the time to contemplate. Don't corner me like this.
Insyaallah in this week, Dad.
I'm applied. Bro Fadhil should know with the guy. They had both an Ustadz at my school.
Even they ever in one da'iyah. I'm confused what should I do.
Bro Fadhil never gives clarity in our relations. In fact he never revealed his feelings to me.
But I'm sure bro Fadhil still loved me. -Then, what can I do sis?
Please help me, Mala. I really loves ur brother.
It's hard to accept Ust. Zulkifli's application. What should I say to father?
Accepted or not Ust. Zulkifli's application. I need bro Fadhil's opinion now, please help me.
It's impossible to honest, I was involved in it. -So, what I've to say to sis Tiara?
She needs ur firmness. -Tell Tiara, it's hard to reject application of man as well as Ust. Zulkifli.
He's friend in one da'iyah, one school. He's good person.
However, it would better if she would pray Istikharah.
I don't know what I've to do. Exactly, Ust. Zulkifli is more prepared & better than me.
If u dare assertively. Tell me if u loved sis Tiara & let me tell her.
So she can say to her father to reject Ust. Zulkifli's application, please.
U're the man. U're not supposed to be so. Sorry for sis Tiara. She really loved u.
From the corner of beloved Kartasura city. We prayed endlessly for u, may u always be healthy
& away from catastrophe. Always in the Allah's mercy all day long.
Write also, why he has been studying for 9 years but still hasn't passed.
Tell him, mother really miss till carried away in a dream.
Mom, bro Azzam deliberately works while studying since father died.
So that he can send the money for us. So, his study at under emphasized.
He is a smart boy, isn't he? Ur father had said that he always be number 1 on his exams.
Yes, the letter was bagged by father when the deceased had accident,
reported that he passed with zaid zidan. Zaid zidan is highest honors, mom.
Tell him, mother has not needed the money but only need Khairul Azzam. That's all.
Yes, I had & I told him that Husna had graduated from S1 & got a license to practice as psychologist,
host rubric teen consultation at the radio of Indonesian moslem youth soul.
Also often got honorarium from writing literatures. -Tell him too, Lia has worked, sis.
As teacher in junior high school. So, bro Azzam no need to think about sending money home.
Essentially, he can quickly graduated.
Dearest bro Azzam, I hope u're happy getting this letter. Lia & Sarah give u best regards.
Endlessly miss regards. Mother entrusted a tear of proud for u.
So, congratulation doing examination. Graduated is a must & immediately return to homeland.
May Allah blessing u. Amen. With love from ur sister, Ayatul Husna.
Furqan was lucky.
I'll happy if Anna come in my session to replace my parents who can't attend.
Insyaallah. I'll try, Fur. -Thank u, Ustadz.
Can't be postponed, An? -Can't, Uncle. Tomorrow I'll go to Kuala Lumpur for testing my thesis
about Islamic insurance & banking. I've confirmed & promised will be picked up by my friend's family in Kuala Lumpur air port.
Insyaallah, directly return to Polanharjo. -Anna can't come, Fur. She'll go to Kuala Lumpur
for dissertation on her thesis tomorrow & directly return to Indonesia.
I had heard all ur problems from Cut Mala. She said, u're willing that Tiara with ur old friend.
Now regret. -Regretting myself, why can't be willing yet?
U tink, after willingly prioritize Ust. Zulkifli married Tiara u will get reward? No.
Prioritizing others in worship, the law is makruh. But prioritizing others not in worship is a must.
Loh, I let Ust. Zulkifli... -U think married is not a worship? It's sunah Rasul.
A worship, Fadhil. U should prioritize urself not the others.
Furqan. Who is the white girl in ur photos? -What are u talking about, Dul?
I got information from my friend in America. There's porn picture acted by student of Cairo University.
He gave me the site, when opened apparently there was 11 pictures of ur indecent scenes.
Complete with ur student ID card. In the luxury hotel room. I already saved all in the flashdisk.
It concerns our disgrace, the disgrace of our nation, our religion. -I was slandered, Dul.
Lie!
I was blackmailed by someone. By Allah, I never do anything that's forbidden by religion.
I was blackmailed to pay thousands of dollars -Prove ur words. -Ok.
The assistance of mabahits, the criminal will be caught in the near of future.
She's a member of blackmail syndicate.
Because I don't want to pay. All photos slander were spread on the iternet.
By Allah. Maybe u don't believe me. Then who wants to trust me?
Sorry me. This is Allah's exam. May Allah always protect u.
mik.susu@gmail.com
Nduk. -What's up, Dad? -I would like to talk more openly to u. -Yes, please.
I don't want to because of the reason seeking the knowledge then u forget to get married.
U immediately have to decide who u choose to be a husband.
U already rejected the application 6 times. Whereas who applied for u
were not ordinary people. Father & mother were unable to reject & give a reason, shy.
They think we are haughty & choosy. -Last night, there was another person applied for u.
I really knew him. Father & mother trusted him. -He was father's student.
He is tough guy. -But the decission is fully yours.
U were educated, already could consider by urself.
Did Anna know him? -Maybe did not.
His name's Muhammad Ilyas. -What about Dad & Mom opinion?
It's no problem as long as he is pious & knowledgeable. Because a husband
must be capable directing her wife to the goodness of the world & afterlife with knowledge.
Furthemore it's up to u because u're about to undergo. -Mom & Dad... Absolutely,
there was a person who already applied for me via Uncle Mujjab but I haven't still answered.
His name's Furqan. -There u're. From where? -Jakarta, mom. -Alhamdulillah.
Now who is ur choice, M. Ilyas or Furqan? Nduk, I asked u one of them must be ur choice.
mik.susu@gmail.com
Well, It's not fair if I have to choose. I never knew M. Ilyas while I knew Furqan
because he had became a chairman of BPMI also his picture that entrusted to Uncle Mujjab.
Allright. Next time if Ust. Ilyas fills our Mosque activity I'll tell him to stop by our house.
Insyaallah.
Bro Azzam, you graduated -By Allah. -By Allah, zaid zidan
Finally, I graduated. Thanks a lot Allah.
When Ilyas stopped by here, I saw u disliked him. Then, when u talked about Furqan
I feel u're still uncertain, not too steady. Anything that tempts ur heart?
Absolutely, yes. -Who? -He ever helped me & Erna when robbed on bus in Cairo.
His name's Abdullah. -Abdullah who? U know where does he live, in Cairo?
Let me ask Uncle Mujjab to trace him. -I don't know, mom. Maybe he's still there.
He is very protective of women. Such men that I craved. -How are u, nduk.
So, he also can't be ascertained? U don't know too, is he still in college or has graduated.
Don't know he is still bachelor or got married. I think, better u choose the certain thing.

Of course, because of mom asking about somebody that tempts Anna's soul.
I don't believe it, really don't believe it, Allah. Why should me.
In my lifetime, I never committed adultery. Allah, what's my fault?
I'm dead. Better be burried, rather than bear such disgrace.
Your application was accepted. Kyai Luthfi Hakim & Anna Althafunnisa have been waitng
for the arrival of ur family in Solo.
Wanna try? -Sure. U close with Furqan? He said when coming to Egypt in one plane.
Yes, but he finished earlier than me. He has returned to Jakarta bringing his master's degree.
Bro Furqan has returned to Jakarta? How do u know?

How about u, already had a fiance? Why just smile? -Not yet.
Do u wanna be my fiance? Don't be wrong, be a tempe maker's wife is prosperous.
Family nutrition is always fulfilled. -Wow, that's I want. Who don't wanna be like that.

Ya, I'll return to Jakarta too. There's shooting of my latest soap opera.
If the 1st soap opera already started displaying, entitled The Goddess of Love.
Definitely, my mother watch it. Her hobbies is watching soap opera.
Where's the latest soap opera shooting? -In Solo & surrounding areas.
Wow, if I return home can watch ur shooting. -Why, actually where do u live?
In Kartasura. -Really? If so, I ask ur address. Maybe I can stop by ur house.
Oh sure. My mother & sisters will be proud get artist visit as beautiful as sis El.
More proud, if at the time stopped wearing muslim fashion. That's superb.
Ok, I'll do that. Make others happy get reward, right?
Please, help me. -No, I can't not. That's not my profession. I don't understand about literature.
I never spoken in abook review show. -Sis Anna don't need to talk about literature
quite in accordance with ur profession. Enough highlights this short stories content.
From syariah side for example.
Let me see the book. Pretty good. Only 5 months, already the fifth printing.
Best seller. When? -Three more days. -Insyaallah. -If so, thanks a lot.
Fiz, wait. There's 1 condition, don't mention my ID as Al-Azhar alumnus. Just say my pen name.
Just mention, I'm Arabic techer who had to be student in Kudus & Ciamis. -Sure, bye.
Ok, this is the last chance. Who wants to ask? If so, the sister wearing light blue hijab. Please.
One of the title of this short story is When Naya Fell in Love. I think there have been many
literature books that fullfiled with love. In the vision of sis Husna & sis Bintu,
actually what's the meaning of love? And, did u ever fall in love. That's all.
Allright. Directly to sis Husna. -According my opinion love is a power that capable to change
a thorn be a rose, a vinegar be a grape, a misfortune be a fortune, a sad be a happy
a satan be a prophet, a devil be an angel, an ill be a healthy, a stingy be a generous,
a cage be a park, a prison be a palace, an anger be a friendly. That's love.
For the 2nd question. Everyone have felt in love, minimally to the closer person.
To the parents, sisters or brothers.
Excellent. Now, according to the version of Arabic teacher, sis Bintu Nahl.
I'll also express the answer with poetry about love, like sis Husna.
Though love I've outlined & I've explained in length width. However, if love where I go.
I be ashamed to my own remark. Although my tongue has been able to outline.
However without tongue, love actually more calm. While pen is very hasty to write.
Words shatter in pieces when come to love. In outline a love, mind lay helpless.
Like a donkey lying in the mud. Love itself who explains love & romance.
Allright, we take a rest 1st & be continued after Ashr pray.
I can't stay so long, I've still got an appointment with others. Sometime I stopped by ur home.
Really? I'll be waiting, okay? -Ok, I go first.
Dear bro Azzam. Exactly when u will return?
I couln't bear to show off my short stories compilation book, dancing with the waves.
The book receive an award from DIKNAS as the best short story compilation book.
Writing letter to ur brother again, Na? -Yes, mom. I'll inform him.
If possible, he accompanied me to receive the award at the beginning of August.
So, he doesn't miss that event. At least, right there in Jakarta.
His graduation wether has done? -Should has done. It has been in mid July.
All have been waiting ur arrival. As usual, mother entrusted tears of deep longing.
May Allah Bless U.
I has felt the time to get married. As guardian, u can begin to think about it.
I'm fully obedient to bro Azzam. -How could u, I wanna married too. Don't be selfish.
But it's never mind, u're the first to married. I still have no wife candidate.
What's up, Dhil? Any problem?
This morning I got letter from Tiara. She asked me to marry her, before Zulkifli's entourage arrived.
I'm confused. If I refused means I had drawn a sword to her neck. But if I accepted...
Tiara said that she will replace all the losses of the groom. What about ur opinion?
If u brave to oppose the storm, storm of the world & afterlife. Follow Tiara's solicitation.
What must I do, bro? -Listen carefully, if u follow Tiara's solicitation, u're not a real man but a loser.
Traitor who stabbed heart his own brother. Now imagine, how many people are hurt
if ur crazy idea is implemented. True love is heal not painful.
U think Tiara can replace person's hurt? No. Don't be lose with ur feelings.
The devil is always riding men into sin. Remember the words of the prophet, follow his teachings.
Forbidden for a moslem to apply above an application of his own brother.
What else until marry her. -I'm just scared if Tiara gets suicide. -That's impossible.
If she has done the marriage contract with Zulkifli, next she will forget u.
Likewise later, if u're married. Understand, Fadhil?
Heed well the words of Ibnu Athaillah in his book.
Nothing can expel lust or worldly pleasures. Except, the fear to Allah who blinds the heart
and a sense of longing for God who makes our hearts languish.
Seeking who, sis Bintu Nahl? -I wanna meet with Ayatul Husna the famous author.
Teaching in Wangen school, prosperous too. As an Arabic teacher can have a car.
I wanna enrol too. -That's loan car. -Yes, borrow with father, don't u? You're outrageous.
How coul u concealing ur ID. Absolutely an only daughter of the caretaker of Darul Quran
boarding school Wangen, how could be Bintu Nahl. -That's artistic.
How do u know? -News of JPMI radio. Wait a moment, I'll open the door.
Don't. Let's sit down here. Frankly, I was amazed reading ur works. Who is ur motivator?
My brother, sis. Starting from often send letters. He said that my letter langauge is beautiful.
Like a poetry. He said, why don't be developed. Who knows, u can be a writer.
Since then, I began attracted to try. -How about the creativity process?
My brother often tells in his letter, how he had to work hard since our father died of a collision.
How his suffering in the other land & was forced to bear the burden replacing father position.
He finances our school. Aid mother who just becomes a batik laborer.
All that inspires me to write dancing on the wave short stories.
Assalamualaikum. -Waalaikum salam. She's my sister, Lia.
Still in college? -Yes. -Where? -STAIN -What faculty? -Tarbiah.
Alhamdulillah, while teaching in SDIT too. -I enter first. -Yes, please.
Don't u return to Cairo? -Insyaallah if my thesis research has completed I'll return for my S2.
Do u study in Cairo? Don't u know my brother? His name's Khairul Azzam. He is famous.
mik.susu@gmail.com
That u told me ur brother in Cairo? In College too? -Yes, in Al-Azhar. -Khairul Azzam?
U don't really know? He has been studying in Al-Azhar for 9 years,
he has already graduated yesterday. Beside lectures, he sells bakso & tempe.
The mothers of KBRI subscribes with him. -Students as tempe seller who I knew
were Rio, Budi & Ali. There's no Azzam name. Or maybe I'm geeky.
I have his picture. U might know him, wait a moment. -That's who?
Why there's a car in front the house. -I'm afraid, Azzam has came. -He promised next month.
It must be Husna's friend. -Husna's boyfriend, maybe.
Sis, why there's no his picture in pyramid? The other one too. -Brought by Sarah to Jepara.
Oh my Allah, Sarah Sarah. -All bro Azzam pictures were brought by Sarah
cause she hasn't yet seen him. -Sorry sis, brought by my sister. But u might be know,
Ambassador knew him. U have married? -Not yet. -Coincidentally, u can be mate of my brother.
U're inconsequential, u're improper to match the tempe seller with Kyai's daughter who almost S2.
But u don't mind?. -I go first, I've to go to another place. Sometime, u should to stop by my house.
-This is my mother. -How beautiful u're, who are u?
I'm Husna's friend. -What's ur name? -Anna Althafunnisa -That's ur car? Where do u live?
In Wangen Polanharjo. -Near with boarding school? -This is Kiyai Luthfi's daughter, mom.
Masyaallah. Supposedly, I kiss ur hand. Sorry me. -No, I remain to kiss ur hand, madam...
who has educated & given birth sons & daughters who make proud. Sorry, I can't stay so long.
I've to go to another place. Assalamualaikum. -Waalaikumsalam.
Be careful. -Insyaallah.
Why there's still a girl as beautiful as & as polite as her. -Sis Anna, study in Al-Azhar too, mom.
So, she knows ur brother? She brings the entrusted goods of Azzam? -Unfortunately, no.
She comes here because she became speaker in Husna's book review yesterday.
Azzam's match, who knows. -Don't dream, mom. It has hot news that she'll be applied by person
from Jakarta. Conglomerate's son. -Who knows, Allah's decisive match.
Don't forget if u get married, u should invite us. -Of course.
The problem is, who match with this Seraten boy. I think he actually match with Cut Mala.
Ur sister, Dhil. -It's up to bro Azzam. As a brother, I want Cut Malahayati to get a husband
who dare expressing his love to my sister. -I'm the oldest among you.
If there's actually no one who dare & willing to be Cut Mala's husband, I'm ready.
I'll immediately apply for ur sister, Dhil. Agree?
Bro, u have the heart. U know by urself, how I feel to Cut Mala. -Hafiz, u seriously think
about that joke? U think I have the heart to love the girl who loved by my own friend.
So, u should immediately apply for Cut Mala to calm ur mind.
And quickly return to Palembang with ur S1. -Ok, bro.
Mr. Ali.
Where's ur passport & ticket? I'll do check in for u. -With who, sir?
With sis Eliana. She also return to Jakarta. She said, will be an MC or playing soap opera.
That she's.
Mr. Ali, please exchange his ticket to business class so he can sit down with me.
-Ok. -Let's go, it's almost to check in. -Wait a moment.
All have agreed to go to marriage. As taught by the Prophet Muhammad SAW.
Alhamdulillah. Now, what about the applied by. -What kind of brideprice Anna want?
That's Anna's right, so there's no remorse in the household.
Say it. You're right to make choices of ur brideprice.
I just want to make requirement that will be a legitimate marriage contract.
Overall myself will be halal if these requirements are fulfilled. -What's that?
1st, after married I should remain to stay here in boarding school environment.
2nd, I'm willing to marry but with condition, during I'm still alive
& capable to perform duties as a wife, I do not allow bro Furqan to marry with another woman.
Kiyai, whether these requirements are not making this up? -No, absolutely not.
The Ulamas has discussed it in length width. And the condition like what I ask is valid.
I'm sorry. For the 1st condition that there's no problem. But for the 2nd condition, wether
it means u forbids polygamy? -In which I'm saying to forbid polygamy that allowed by Quran?
U want to marry with 4 women at once it's ur right. There's no problem to me, but it means not me
being one of ur wifes. My requirement is analogous to the example,
after get married u should not eat dogfruit because I do not like the smell.
Then, is this mean I forbid to eat dogfruit?
mik.susu@gmail.com
I just submits the terms that are beneficial to me & my children.
With conditions like these, you didn't hurt. Cause u should only not get married
with another woman, during I'm still alive & capable to perform duties as a wife.
Except, if I'm chronically ill & unable to perform my duties. So, I allow u to get married again.
Things like that are allowed by the ulamas. -I have never read that there's ulama allowing such terms.
I'll take the book. -Please drink & eat cakes. These cakes are special, only available in Seraten.
I'm happy there's an openness like this.
This is the 7th juz of Al-Mughni book by Ibnu Qudamah. Please read page 93.
Things must be fulfil are the terms that are beneficial & useful for wife. For example,
husband will not release wife from her house nor her village, not traveling by brings his wife
nor get married on his wife. Such terms must be fulfilled by husband for wife.
If the husband did not fulfil, then she has the right to ask for his marriage abolished.
Things like these are narrated by Umar bin Khattab ra. & Saad bin Abi Waqqas,
Muawiyah & Amr bin Al-Aas.
I just wanna be like Fathimah, Prophet Muhammad's daughter. Her lifetime never been co-wife
by Saidina Ali bin Abi Thalib her husband. I wanna be like Siti Khadijah who during her marriage
with Rasulullah SAW. also never been co-wife. I really don't forbid polygamy.
But this is the terms that I submits. If it's approved, marriage contract can
be designed to be implemented. If it's disapproved, never mind.
Bro Furqan can choose another girl who willing without asking any conditions.
Kiyai, we've listened to all the requirements from Anna. Furqan has reviewed the reference
that is proposed by Anna. Logically it makes sense. So with fully confidence, Furqan approves
all Anna's requirements. -Alhamdulillah.
I'll transfer to your account, later. Then, give to mother.
-Who? -My mother forgets to ask for money. -And then? -Fortunately can by mobile banking.
So, I can transfer to Lia's account.
From here, me & bro Azzam directly stay at the hotel which is provided by committee.
Close to the event place, Rin. -Actually, bro Azzam can stay in my house if he would.
I'm afraid there are traffic jams, Rin. It's safe if stay at close to event place.
Can be reached by on foot too.
If no one to pick u up, better with me. U can rest in my house. Then, tomorrow we can go to Solo.
Why, bro? -9 years I left the homeland, 9 years I left my mother & sisters.
I'm happy finally I can return. I can't bear to meet with them.
I'm amazed by ur fortitude.
Why it's so crowd, there're a lot of journalists. What's up?
How're u, sis Eliana? -Alhamdulillah, fine thanks. -Are u going to star in new soap opera?
Yes, that's right. -What's the title? -The Goddess of love.
Bro Azzam which one? -That's wearing the brown jacket.
Why with Eliana? I'm afraid, bro Azzam & Eliana... -Impossible. Might be just a coincidence.
Tonight Eliana will be an MC. -Sis Eliana, who's ur friend? -Bro, are u sis Eliana's boyfriend?
No. I just tempe seller & coincidentally sis Eliana is my tempe subscriber. -You lie.
It's true.
Sorry, there's my sister there. -Wait a moment. The plan, tomorrow we go to Solo
shooting my new soap opera.
Bro Azzam in the tv program, mom. He's handsome. No wonder, his girlfriend is an artist.
How could Al-Azhar graduate dates an artist, they don't match.
Can he bear to see his wife is hugged by other guy in her films?
If he can, I'm still thinking.
Mom...
Finally u come home too, you're my boy. -I really miss u, mom & my sisters.
Well this is my brother, Khairul Azzam. Don't u know?
Bro Abdullah? If this one, I know. But his name isn't Khairul Azzam. Abdullah.
I deliver the invitation to Husna & madam Malikatun. -Just 2 more weeks. Already near.
Pray for us, bro.
Congratulation. -Thank u for coming. -May Allah bless ur marriage.
I entrust Furqan to u, An. He's my friend.
