A week passed, after that conversation and at the end of his Zainab was only able to go home, after a month long he adventured for his career out there, he said, and can perform fasting with his beloved extended family...
" Assalamu'alaikum. abi. umi. zainab came home" Zainab said as she entered the house.
Umi who was preparing a dish for iftar in the kitchen immediately warmly welcomed her beloved daughter...
" Wa'alaikumussalam, son, daughter umi, her dear umi, her pride umi, her end home too, umi kangen nak. " replied Umi while kissing and hugging her beloved child.
" Sorry Zainab Umi, has made umi kangen maybe worried too, calm down, actually yesterday Zainab to the house Dimas, Dimas, and working with him to equally seek inspiration to create shows and entertainment that educates and entertains also umi, so as not to benefit Zainab's work if it can only serve entertainment only...
" Mashaallah so yesterday you came out your own island dong son, why not say and permission used to be the same umi and abi. "sahut umi worried.
" Hadakan also umi, not only want to focus on the beginning of college, but Zainab's college and work is one server, so all while working while studying as well, too, so it can be time-efficient, " replied Zainab.
" But at least Umi can call aunty for your nitipin so we don't worry here." said Umi.
" Yes already umi, Zainab has returned home safely, right." replied Zainab casually.
" Yaudah if it is clean clean, abis it's a little bit longer magrib we open together." said umi.
" Good umi, brother Alin same abi not home yet?? " ask Zainab
" Most immediately your brother came home son, he is now busy being a teacher of qiroat for teenage children in this complex." replied Umi.
" Mashallah... really umi?? " question Zainab as if in disbelief
" Not only that, now he is also known as a qoriah thanks to Farid." replied Umi again.
" Masyaallah.. indeed it fits both of them umi, do not they mate umi, why not all abi aja ustad Farid same Kak Alin mi.." said Zainab
" Yaudah later we will tell her, now you clean first gih, daftar again maghrib." said Umi.
" Good Umi, I can't wait to hear the story of my brother. "his babble while walking towards his room.
At exactly 18:00 pm Alinka arrived home with a car between Farid and his private driver...
The car stopped in front of the gate and rang its horn,,
" It must be big brother, " said Zainab out of the room as she ran to see who was coming
" Cie.. in the anter ustad Farid likau."." said Zainab slightly teasing her brother Alinka.
" Sister... !!! " alinka said as she ran to embrace Zainab
" When will you come home...?? " ask Alinka while kissing her sister's head...
" Ustad Faridnya tell down dong kak, we open together here with abi as well. "sahut Zainab.
" Where is Farid's ustad, the brother in the same ander his personal driver." replied Alinka as she continued to hug Zainab.
" Said umi brother same ustad Farid her relationship is getting closer." said Zainab.
" Began deh, the new gossip dateng kumat. "sahut Alinka while slightly pinching Zainab's cheek.
Then the driver decided to go back home
" Sir.kah so I say back pick up ustad Farid mbak, he has been waiting." said the driver.
" Oh yes, please sir, thank you for your invitation today." replied Alinka.
Then the driver left
Zainab and Alinka rushed into the house
" Assalamu'alaikum.. umi Alin home...!!! " said Alinka as she entered
Umi also approached the two daughters who were still holding hands...
" Wa'alaikumussalam. brother has come home son. " replied Umi while kissing Alinka forehead.
" Cepet clean there, we will while waiting for abi to come home, while waiting for adzan maghrib anyway.." said umi.
" Good umi." answered Alinka and entered her room.
" Sister has a story as long as I'm not home" asked Zainab.
" There is no. Just normal.. even quiet there is no deck, no cement brantem." replied Alinka flat.
" Ih answer it anyway. There is something special to while I am not there, I also can't wait to hear the happy news." said Zainab.
" Good news what deck, good news if you go to college to kairo yeeee." replied Alinka a little joking.
" Not that" said Zainab.
" Yes abis what deck?? Udah ah brother wants to take a shower first. "sahut Alinka.
Zainab slightly bent her face
A few minutes later, adzan maghrib was heard reverberating, abi had been in the house just now, before abi prepared, abi was ready, all family members also cancel their fast first only with the pre-existing certificate, then pray Maghrib congregation first, because the reward of worship in the fasting month will be more doubled, doubling, so they don't want to lose that opportunity either...
After clean abi clean, and have done the prayer jam'ah also they and their families gathered at the dining table to eat together...
" Zainab you've come home son, here pelul abi first, it's been a long time this longing is unstoppable and the end is now you can gather again with us... " said abi while holding his favorite child
Zainab approached and kissed abi's hand first, then Zainab hugged abi warmly, while looking from her glassy eyes...
" Zainab is also kangen abi, sorry Zainab is not saying goodbye and permission first, abi taunya Zainab only college, but Zainab all seek experience by going to Dimas' own house" replied Zainab
" You're at Dimas' house, son...?? " abi said surprised
Zainab only looked at Abi with regret...
" It's okay, don't be sad, the end of the spoiled child abi is independent, already able to go alone out of the island anyway, the most important thing now is that you've returned and can gather with us again, he said, your extended family "said abi forgive what Zainab has done.
" But your aunt didn't tell abi." asked abi.
" It was intentional abi, Zainab that was forbidden, because Zainab was afraid to make the umi and abi worried" Zainab replied
" Yaudah, if that's how is your aunt there and her extended family...?? " ask abi back
" Both abi.. they are good, he said later if Faiz's brother came home, they want to come here as a family gathering on the feast day.." replied Zainab sumbringah.
" It's good that way, later abi call first Faiz his determines the day of his return" said abi.
After speaking, they continued by eating together...
After eating, they waited for the Adhan by relaxing and telling each other, especially Zainab and Alinka...
" So you ask, " said Zainab
" Ask what?? " answered Alinka while writing on her laptop
" Sister still writing?? " ask Zainab
" Still, remember what Ikhsan said before. " replied Alinka while continuing to focus on her writing.
" Sister, has Farid changed?? " ask Zainab
Alinka looked at her sister's eyes for a moment...
" Why did he come to ustad Farid?? " ask back Alinka
" Yes no. I usually see you guys are deket, suitable even if you are a couple " replied Zainab
" Deck, you have to know, not everything that people see is reality like that." said Alinka.
" Loh why?? " ask Zainab
" No why napa. only what you see about the same old brother Farid that instant, the reality is not like that, worthy of his teachers and pupils as well as his fellow co-workers. "answered Alinka.
" So really like his brother who the hell brother... does brother emang already have another dream guy...?? " question Zainab a little hot
Alinka's fingers were busy typing the words immediately stopped when he heard the word
" Loh... The question is why did it come to that...?? " ask Alinka wonderfully
" Yes abis brother, there is no sign of his sister looking for a sister soul mate or mengikhintakan for his own sister's soul mate, actually, my sister wants to get married or not...?? " say Zainab
" God the deck, is not it, remember brother is also a human, an ordinary end-time woman just as they want in love, remember, but what is the power if there is no one who dared to knock on the door of my brother's heart even to dare to knock on the door of my sister's house, you also know, right, who at this time can do such a thing, try to ask you, who is the person, because if my own sister does not know her at all because it is true that no one is brave like that brother... " Alinka answered eagerly to tears
" If you want to know the deck, you often like someone, but what power you can only admire in silence and pray that God will allow it to be my destiny, but again God willed another, even those who were in front of his eyes just separated and went away from his brother, and brother wanted to ask, and brother wanted to ask, a sign of whether it is given by God directly to brother, brother can only be sure, if who went it is not the best for brother, and brother sure god has prepared the best for brother, brother, as long as you can be patient and trust deck. " replied Alinka back at length while continuing to shed tears.
Because Alinka has always looked cheerful, active and busy with her work it is one way to make her look no longer sad and worried especially about the soul mate, at the age of a woman who is almost 26 years old, and has not met her soul mate, there is not even the slightest sign that a soul mate will approach her, it really makes her worried about who will be the first to plunge her, soul mate or death?? But Alinka covered it all with her smile and cheer in public and in front of everyone, she continued to work and be active in all fields because of what, she said, to make her forget all those worries..
" Sister.sorry Zainab if Zainab's words make you sad and cry" said Zainab while embracing her
" Sister is worried deck, all this time brother is always worried about the future of brother, will brother find brother's soul mate?? Or will brother be met first by death...?? Brother is afraid of the deck, in fact his brother is afraid, brother can not grant the dream of parents to be able to live longer and can be a family like others." he said while crying.
Alinka's cry and speech sounded very deep, as it had been a long time ago all he was alone and only now it could all be poured out by accident, because it was provoked by the question of his sister..
" Yes, brother, Zainab understands. Sorry Zainab has made a sister like this. " replied Zainab while continuing to hug Alinka who was crying.
" This heavy burden is why my brother pendam himself, why do I if my brother tetep can not open and share the sadness and distress brother to me, what is the use of me as a brother, what is the use of me as a brother, I also want to be able to lighten the burden of big brother..?? Say Zainab while stroking Alinka's body
" Because you don't want to be someone else's burden" replied Alinka.
Zainab wept and they strengthened each other, giving each other strength and strength to face all of this...
After a few minutes they confided in each other, realized and the tears had stopped, immediately they said Istighfar and took ablution, because it is not good to be dissolved in sadness especially that weeping over our own difficulties...
During the holy month of Ramadan Alinka use the time of his worship as best as possible, together with praying to Allah for his future, especially about his future soul mate.may Allah be pleased to give his opportunity, getting a soul mate in the world and running a whole worship, can also perfect half of his religion...
After that Alinka advised to keep all the contents of his heart that had been poured out on Zainab, for anyone including his own abi and umi
Because Alinka doesn't want to make everyone worry because of her
After that I heard the adhan, and they rushed to go to the mosque, to pray together in continued prayer tarawih merama'ah...
The night was getting late, after the mosque finished doing tarawih prayer, Alinka also took his time to teach the children naji santri in his abi hut until 21.00 pm, after that time Alinka went home and rested...
After returning from the cottage, Zainab had been waiting for him since earlier in the room..
" Have you come home, brother...?? " tanya Zainab while fiddling with her favorite camera
" Alhamdulillah deck, relieved his sense of the task we have done... " alinka answered while storing all his luggage of the Qur'an and the book of the santri as their learning material...
While lying down Alinka let out a fairly long breath
" Why sis...kok sighed like that?? " ask Zainab back
" in 14 days, huh de...?? " say Alinka
Zainab looked at Alinka sadly...
" Honestly, I'm still not ready to see my brother go for a long time abroad, but what can I do if for the future and mind of my brother... " zainab
" Why should be sad deck, after all brother will return after college brother finished." replied Alinka while looking at Zainab's face and smiling.
" Faiz's brother's coming home soon, you won't wait until Faiz's brother comes home...?? " ask Zainab
" When did you come home?? " ask back Alinka
" the 15th of Ramadan" replied Zainab
" Maybe the 15th brother has to go home, to enjoy the rest of the last time brother with his family and main parents in the village deck." replied Alinka.
" Not his brother does not want to meet with Faiz, but the time that has not been able to bring us together" replied Alinka back
Zainab was silent without being able to reply to her brother..
After that they also prepared to sleep, because the first day for his regular sahur forgot to wake up, especially Zainab who likes to be hard woken up from her sleep...
And so it was, until the day passed...
3 Days later one day, after Alinka came home from an event at a ceremony with Farid, not as usual, Ustad was willing to go home with Alinka back while delivering her home...
" Ukhty...!!! " call ustad Farid
" Can we take you home to get home?? " continue Farid's speech
Alinka just stared at ustad in wonder
" Bo. bo. bo. can.kana this is his own car."." said Alinka gelagapan because he was surprised to see the attitude of the dead Farid who suddenly changed back.
They also end up coming home together
On the way there he asked Zainab...
" ukhty... has Zainab gone home...?? " tanya ustad Farid
" Thank God, a week after the month of Ramadan arrived, he came from his adventure" replied Alinka with a smile.
" Thankfully thank God if so, umi sama abi is no longer worried for sure her." said ustad with a friendly smile.
" Yeah, so miss his abi same umi on the adventurer. "sahut Alinka dub his sister with the adventurer.
Ustad Farid smiled at Alinka...
After arriving at Alinka's house, they were as usual to have been greeted by abi sama umi, coincidentally abi schedule in Ramadan only from morning until noon, he said, so Abi can go home before Alinka comes home...
" Assalamu'alaikum" said Alinka while kissing his abi and umi's hands.
" Wa'alaikumussalam.
Then Farid got off his car...
" Assalamu'alaikum abi. umi." said ustad Farid while approaching umi and abi.
" Wa'alaikumussalam.alhamdulillah end nak Farid deign to stop by again to our house yes mi. "answer and sahut abi glee.
" I'm sorry abi.. I do not mean I do not want to visit and stop by abi and umi's house, but there are two things my reason for some time not to visit abi and umi's house... " obviously Farid's ustad is very soft
" Loh why...?? " ask abi
Ustad Farid just smiled at Abi's words
" Not so abi, Ustad Farid may not be a long story on the porch of the house while standing right instead of a lecture." said Alinka while hugging his abi.
" Athaghfirulloh son. sorry abi forgot, so much fun to see Farid play again here.." said abi while embracing Farid and invite him to go inside...
They entered and sat in the living room, only Alinka asked permission to enter the room immediately...
" I'm sorry son. played him in the month of Ramadan anyway so Umi can not suguhin nak Farid drinks and food, but later umi nitip takjil for the ummah at home.. incidentally Umi has made a takjil rather a lot, do not know why today want to make him banyakan, know his son Farid want to stop by here. "sahut umi.
" Yes it's okay umi, don't bother too. "answered Farid.
" What would Farid want to say to us. "ask abi to Ustad Farid.
" I'm sorry abi before her if I sassy to abi kinship." obviously ustad Farid.
" The answer from a few months I can not play here is to keep the good name of abi and klamah from slander, because I often go together with abi's daughter, Alinka, and others, because honestly there is no more relationship between us than coworkers.and I also need time to answer the question abi at that time, now God willing I can answer abi... "
" My point now to come here is to propose to abi's child." said Ustad Farid surprisingly.
" Alhamdulillah." replied abi and umi together.
" So is abi willing to accept my proposal for abi's daughter?? " tanya ustad Farid
" If abi is how his child just son, later let Farid ask himself to his person." replied abi.
Abi called Alinka and Zainab to come to the living room
" Latin... Zainab.. here son.. anyone wants to talk abi.
So Alinka and Zainab came to fulfill the call of Abi
" Yes abi what's wrong...?? " say them both
" Look... Ustad Farid wants something on one of you" said Abi.
"Please ustad." said abi again.
Alinka and Zainab sat down first
" Before that I would like to explain one thing first" said Ustad Farid
" To ukhty Alinka, so that makes the words of people out there negative about our closeness, and I also do not intend to benefit from this closeness of ours, ukhty also already knew there were no more feelings or relationships between us than fellow co-workers, so if abi and Umi felt her daughter had been given false hope it was very untrue, because from the beginning our relationship was good, just a coworker and real friends just plain, umi and abi do not misunderstand first, just to be honest, and if indeed Alinka has felt comfortable for our closeness I apologize, not mean to play with the feelings of women, sorry, because my mother was a woman, too, and I would never hurt a woman's feelings, because if it happened, I would have hurt my mother's feelings" said Farid.
" Yes son. no abi will not misunderstand, because Alinka has given an explanation from the first, because Alinka has also given an explanation from the first, and indeed Alinka himself did not hold more feelings for Nak Farid than his fellow coworkers and teachers themselves, that's what Alin said to us son. " replied abi.
" Thank God if so, so I say this will not feel bad for ukhty Alinka. sepetulnya I want to propose to Alinka ukhty sister, Zainab." said Ustad Farid.
And Zainab was simultaneously surprised, he did not think that the person who had been seen close to his own brother had prepared something for him in the future...
" Would ukhty accept my proposal...?? " ask ustad Farid to Zainab
Zainab was just dumb, not believing that any of this could happen...
Then Zainab looked at Alinka first, and,,
Then Alinka nodded her head while smiling at Alinka
Then Zainab stared at the hopeful Farid..
Zainab was confused and she could not give her answer right then and there...
" Umi. abi.. before her Zainab wanted to apologize, not to refuse but Zainab wanted to ask Farid to contemplate this answer first".
Ustad Farid replied...
" Good ukhty, it's okay, it's very natural, because before her we had not known each other let alone close, so maybe ukhty confused about his answer, because before, I give you one week to think about the answer, after that I will come with my extended family to formalize this proposal. " replied Ustad Farid very patiently.
" Thank you son, already understand abi's daughter, hopefully later the answer can give happy news yes." said abi while hugging Ustad Farid.
" If so abi, I can not be long because soon Maghrib arrived." said Ustad Farid with a smile.
" Yes.iya. abi ngerti. if so heart in the way yes." replied abi.
Then Umi also answered from the kitchen while running small to carry a parcel...
" Later first son, this should not be forgotten and missed. a little trepidation for the ummah to break the fast yes, greetings from umi. "sahut umi while giving the parcel.
" Thank you very much, if so I go home first. "sahut ustad Farid and passed from the front of umi, abi, zainab and Alinka.
After that they went back into the house to immediately prepare to break the fast...
