A Destiny (Revised)
chapter 18
Jedarr
Like being struck by lightning in a hole immediately Azzam was silent staring at the words of his ashes.
Should he refuse or instead accept it if he rejects it he is afraid Abinya disappointed but if he accepts it there are other women who make him feel but he has not confirmed about the feeling.
Azzam was in a dilemma with a choice between accepting or rejecting.
He was silent for a long time until the question from the Abi blew his daydream.
"Where's Zam you want, right?" ask Abi expectantly .
"Please give Azzam time to think, Bi" Azzam said.
"Alright Abi give you three days to think" Abinya said.
Azzam nodded his head while the woman he was betrothed to looked at him so closely if to be honest he was very uncomfortable.
Azzam breathed a sigh of relief when the family entourage of his old friend Abinya came home he immediately rushed to the boarding school because he still had dependents.
It did not feel like it was late afternoon Hafida immediately cleaned up his things and immediately went home.
He was already very tired not only his tired physique but his heart was also tired he exhaled rough breathing.
"Assalamualaikum Ma" said Hafida, kissing his mother's hand.
"Wa'alaikumsalam you have come home son" said Mama softly.
"Yes Ma then Fida wants to clean first" said Hafida looks very tired.
His mother just nodded he immediately rushed to clean his body after that he immediately prayed.
"Fida has prayed if you have eaten you must be hungry" call his mother.
"Yes Ma" said Hafida, sitting in his chair.
"Oh yes dear mama want to say something to you" said Mama seriously.
"So the company secretary came and gave this letter" Mama Ranty said, handing the letter to Hafida.
"Ma? Fida is not ready" he said.
"Just be the one who temporarily holds the company" he continued.
"I think you're more entitled" said Mama Ranty.
"But Fida still wants to work in the cafe, Ma" said Hafida insisted on refusing.
"When is it, baby?" mama Ranty asked while Hafida was silent.
After eating he immediately rushed to sleep did not take long he was already asleep in his deep sleep.
On the other hand Azzam seems to be very anxious he was confused how he finally decided to tell his brother who else if not Lukman.
"Sister" call Azzam.
"Yes Zam, is there a problem ?" ask Lukman.
He has memorized with his sister if he has a problem.
"Hmm then?" asked Lukman scrunched his forehead.
"I was confused to have to refuse or accept it" said Azzam.
"Hmm you pray Istiqarah ask for guidance from Allah" said Lukman.
After telling a story with Lukman his heart was relieved he rushed to pray istiqarah.
mornings
The sun began to rise from the eastern horizon with clear skies today, Hafida was preparing to depart.
"It's a shame today Mama took you to campus" said Mama Ranty.
"Yes Ma" he said smiling.
They arrived in front of the Hafida campus, Hafida turned and kissed her hand.
"Assalamualaikum" he said.
"Wa'alaikumsalam" his mother replied.

Hafida finished with his activities he then rushed to the Cafe which was not too far from the campus.
He walked with not too focused until accidentally his wallet fell.
He only realized when he was going to buy something, he seemed to panic where his wallet was.
"Sorry, is this yours?" ask a man.
"Well, where do you find it, I'm looking for a way" said Hafida.
"I found it at the front end" he explained.
"Emm you were a while ago, weren't you?" ask Azzam.
"Can we talk for a second?" continued.
"Ah alright" said Hafida looking awkward.
"What's wrong?" ask Hafida.
"I love you" Azzam said clearly and briefly.
"If you love me please come home" Hafida said with her heart pounding.
"I was betrothed to my parents' friend's child"
"I don't love him"
"Do you believe in destiny? if we are friends, God will unite us" he said.
Azzam only smiled faintly hearing her heart was quite relieved after expressing his feelings.
