Mufti Saheb

Assalamualaykum.

Fatwa Regarding Istekhara. Before some time I got a rista. Girl is very religious and Hafija e Quran. Her all family is actively taking part in Tableeg Jamat. We know this family for last five years. I also want to marry her. But after negative result of Istekhara I had refused this rista. Now after few days they send Mufti Saheb who is famous in our city and Jimmedar in Tableeg Jamat and he told me to reconsider again and told me to make Istekhara again. He told me that I can do it if its Allahs will Allah guide me. I am confused for that and asked other Mufti Saheb he also told me that I can do Istekhara again. I fear cause both Mufti Saheb having good relation with girls father. My sister spoke with girl she told, she and her father did Istekhara many times and always get positive result so, my family pressuring me for Istekhara. Please guide me what I have to do?

Jazakallah.
