A Prince's Love

"Who is her future husband? Then why did she suddenly want to apply? Wasn't it this morning that Alena had permission to do an exploration with Andre? Why did it turn out like this? I could be crazy" asked her father as he entered his office wanting to store his briefcase.

"I don't know either? Earlier, Alena said it like that. I was confused. Earlier she called her future husband to be a college friend. People from Azura country .. Didn't we go there during the last Umrah. Very beautiful country...if Alena is married to someone there. We will often vacation there. " His wife seemed excited. She forgot about her husband's problems..

"Of course. You are on vacation there and I will be on vacation in prison" Alena's father said while looking annoyed. Why does his wife even think of a vacation when he will be in prison.

Receiving a proposal from Alena's lover to marry her daughter will cancel Mr. Hartono's application. Canceling the application from Mr. Hartono will thwart his assistance and he will go to prison.

"How about you? Why are you not sincere? Don't you want Alena to be happy? But why are you talking like that now? Don't despair. Who knows in the future there is a way out. Besides, who knows Mr. Hartono even though he is not Alena's in-laws but he will still help us. " His wife said again and He only mentioned Aamiin.

One hour later, the dining table was neatly arranged. Cars are seen starting to enter Alena's residence. Alena's mother immediately stood forward while pulling her husband who was a little worried. Alena's father had hoped that Alena would marry Andre. The exploration that Alena proposed was greeted with anxious feelings so that Alena would open her heart. He really hopes Alena is happy and he doesn't have to go to prison.

Alena's father and mother saw the car pull up in front of them. But it was definitely not the car that caught their attention but the person who got out of the car. They saw a driver who got out opened the car door and the first to get off was their daughter Alena. Alena smiled at her father and mother. But her mother did not pay attention to her daughter's smile, she was instead stunned to see the young man who was following her from behind. Her mouth fell open at the good looks of Nizam.

It was as if she saw a Raden Arjuna coming from the Mahabharata story before her. Isn't Arjuna the most handsome prince in the Mahabharata story that he often reads? She saw the figure of a tall man with a proportional body. The broad chest with the face is so perfect. Why is there such a handsome person? In all her life she had never met a man as handsome as Nizam. No wonder her child is delirious, she also momentarily forgot her husband who was standing beside her.

"Shh ... shh ... ..." Alena's father stepped on his wife's feet who were dumbfounded. He saw that Nizam had stretched out his hand and asked his wife to shake hands. But his wife continued to gawk, shyly. His wife immediately woke up with a groan.

"Umm..mmm ... sorry." Alena's mother immediately stuttered. She reached out her hand to Nizam to shake his hand and Nizam kissed the back of his mother Alena's hand respectfully. Alena's mother seemed fascinated by Nizam's treatment.

"Assalamualaikum, ma'am." Said Nizam greeted.

"Waalaikumsalam ..." replied Nizam greeted while still not blinking at the prospective son-in-law.

After greeting Alena's mother, Nizam also greeted Alena's father. Alena's father patted Nizam's shoulder while assessing Nizam's appearance. Seeing the appearance of Nizam, he was satisfied with his son's choice. Moreover, Alena said that Nizam was her college friend, which meant that from an educational perspective it did not disappoint either.

And then, Alena's father looks at the people Nizam brought. He saw that there were two Indonesians and two people who might have come from the Nizam family. He did not see Nizam's father and mother.

"Where are your parents?" Asked Alena's father asking about Nizam's parents.

"I apologize, they can't come because of something. Hopefully, you don't mind about it."

Just now Alena's father wanted to answer, his wife immediately grabbed the answer.

"Oh no ... no, of course not, let's go inside. Bring your friends too. We understand that Azura is far from Indonesia so we understand that they can't come." Alena's mother grabbed the answer that Alena's father should have given her. She took Nizam's arm and led him inside.

It was clear that Alena's mother seemed to have found the boy she had been longing for. Years after Alena's birth he hoped to have a son but Allah never gave him. Maybe now is the time for Allah to give him a son even though she is only a son-in-law. For her, it is more than enough.

Nizam obeyed, taking Alena's mother inside. Before entering the glanced at Alena's face while raising his eyebrows funny. Alena stuck out her tongue in disgust to see her mother seemed to forget that it was Alena who to be her child and not Nizam.
