Accompany Me with Hijrah

ZARRA'S DREAM

The mid-April afternoon was pretty good. The sun is shining. Many bazaar visitors take shelter in the stands to avoid the hot sun. Zarra who opened the day stand seemed to be preparing for the sale. He was writing on a small board with colorful chalk. Today is the second week as well as the last day of the annual bazaar of the University of Nusantara. Special on the last day of opening the stand, Zarra prepared special menus. Among others mendoan bean sauce, cheese sticks, banana criuk and shrimp rambutan. The price is special too. He even bundled his menu with drinks from Irina and Farida stands. Of course, with the permission of both of them. Both are happy and feel helped.

The closing day of the bazaar, visitors who come more crowded. That's because the campus brings in the capital artists Judika and Virgoun. The bazaar closing ceremony will be held later tonight. Zarra has prepared enough stock for his stand this time. In the midst of his busy preparing equipment, he was surprised by the arrival of duo A aka Asyifa and Amira.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ukhti" said the two together. Zarra turned and laughed at the sight of her two best friends.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. You guys here? Do you want to see Judika?" asked Zarra. Without being ordered or asked for help by Zarra, Asyifa and Amira put down her bag and immediately helped Zarra on the stand. "Eh, what are you doing?" asked Zarra again.

"We are special to help you" replied Asyifa. He pinched Zarra's cheek.

"Syifa, sick," complained the spoiled Zarra. Asyifa laughed. He knew Zarra was just joking.

"So what's the menu today?" asked Amira.

"No," point Zarra at the menu. Amira and Asyifa read for a moment and nodded. "Well, here's the baking material, the peanut sauce it's in the plastic item. The rest is in that pink box, "pointing Zarra. They immediately helped Zarra prepare. Zarra began to clean the tables and chairs.

"Assalamu'alaikum," the male voice surprised Zarra who was cleaning the table. Zarra looked up trying to see who was coming. Someone he knows very well. Malik.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Zarra. Amira and Ashifa looked at each other. Zarra was silent at Malik's arrival. His heart is not broken. He doesn't know how to behave. Only Istighfar could he chant in his heart.

"You open the stand?" asked Malik. Zarra nodded with a smile. Malik smiling. "Cool, Ra. You finally start fulfilling your dreams. In the past, you often said you want to have a food business, right? Now it has materialized" continued Malik. Zarra smiled again but then hidden the smile.

"Sit, Malik. Kinar isn't coming?" asked Zarra.

"Kinar exists. He again looked at the hijab at the end" replied Malik. His eyes looked at Zarra deeply. But Zarra just looked down. Only occasionally he looked up, that is when talking.

"Do you want a message?" asked Zarra. Malik nodded. "What message?" asked Zarra again.

"You" answered Malik. Zarra's eyes are rounded. His forehead wiggling. He looked at Malik sharply. He really doesn't like Malik to say that. In addition to being inappropriate for married men, Zarra disliked the pronunciation as if Malik was ordering himself.

"Don't get me wrong, Ra. I mean, I just want to sit here and you're with me" Malik explained. He knew that the change in the look on Zarra's face meant he had misunderstood.

"Sorry, Malik. It doesn't feel worth us like this. You're already married. Later will arise slander," replied Zarra firmly but gently. Asyifa and Amira who saw him also tensed up.

"Fine, I'm sorry. I told you about your meeting at that time. Kinar had also said about his wishes to me. About marrying you. I will preach to you, Ra if you will" said Malik. Zarra laughed cynically.

"Tape! Why are you talking about it now?" Zarra said. A second later he regretted saying that. He is inward in heart.

"Is there anyone else?" asked Malik. Zarra laughs. In his heart he was not expecting Malik. Is this one of God's tests?, his mind. He sighed.

"Already, Malik. We're done. You're the same as Kinar, and I'm sincere. I'm just moving on. Just go through everything according to our own choices. All is predestined by God" replied Zarra. Malik remained silent. Not long after, Kinar came.

"Zarra's? You open the stand?" asked Kinar in amazement. His eyes imply sincerity. Zarra nodded with a smile. "Have you ordered, Yang?" asked Kinar to Malik. Malik.

"He's waiting for you, Ki. I don't want a message before his wife comes. He wants you to eat for him" said Zarra half-temptingly. Kinar smile.

"Yes already, I order the same mendoan shrimp rambutan huh?," pinta Kinar. Zarra nodded and moved out of her chair.

After confirming Ashifa and Amira about Kinar and Malik's order, Zarra left the stand without looking towards Malik and Kinar. He walked to mushola. His feet felt light. While walking, he smiled.

'You once filled my days. I fell deeply in love with you. But you also taught me that I had misplaced my love. I have been hurt and hurt, but He is the one who accompanies and heals her. And now thanks to Him, I can give you my dream of living with you. Thank you Malik. Thank you, Kinar. Thank you, Lord, my Lord'.

It's getting dark. However, bazaar visitors are getting crowded. Approaching the event, the Zarra stand is also getting crowded. The three of them could hardly sit down from the last isya'. Even so, the three of them are very grateful for the sustenance today.

The clock shows at eight o'clock. The three of them had just finished the final order. As per Zarra's instructions, they did not accept any more orders. The rest of the ingredients were still good, but Zarra intended to eat them together with her friends. A voice startled the three of them as they were cleaning some equipment.

"You want his prayer message, sir," a woman's voice sounded.

"I'm sorry, it's been a...," Zarra gaped to see who was coming. Asyifa and Amira threw eyes at each other. "Mama?" exclaimed Zarra, who was standing in front of the stand. It was Mama Zarra. Behind Mama Zarra, appeared a middle-aged man with an ustadz-style beard. Not yet finished Zarra's surprise, surprise has come again, namely his Papa. He knew his father was a very busy man.

"Papa?" cried Zarra. He kissed her hand and hugged her.

"It has. Shame on many people" said Papa Zarra. Zarra took off her embrace and pouted.

"I'm kangen, Pa," Zarra murmured in annoyance. Papa Zarra just laughed and stroked the princess's head just like that. "Same Papa sat there first huh? Zarra knows Zarra. All of us enjoy the closing of the bazaar" said Zarra. He combined two tables and several chairs with the help of Amira. Asyifa brought out the food that Zarra had prepared. Zarra also did not forget to call Irina and Farida. He ordered a drink for their relaxing companion this time.

"Mama, Papa, know Zarra's friends. This is Asyifa, this is Amira, this is Irina and that's Farida. Asyifa with Amira who guided Zarra with Umi Fatma. Irina and Farida are Zarra's younger siblings, and they open the stand next door" Zarra said, introducing her friends. Not long before they met, they were already engaged in a chat. They talk about a lot of things. Starting from family and sharing religious knowledge. Zarra's friends did not think that Papa Zarra had learned the Quran. They actually engage in a lively conversation but remain polite.

"Yes already. Mama and Papa go home first huh? Poor thing, Papa had run out of the rack directly here," said Mama Zarra. Zarra nodded with a smile.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Papa Zarra.

"Wa'alaikumsalam," they answered simultaneously. After the death of Zarra's parents, they returned to discuss the story of each other. I don't know who started it, they talked about dreams.

"Have you ever thought your dreams would change?" said Zarra. All shakes. Zarra laughed a little. "I've never. And experiencing it. I've been dating. My dream is to be able to live with him. Workings. But no matter how great my plan, all turned back to the same God. Dreams ran aground. But I found new love. My parents, new friends who are super good, second family, have small businesses. Thank God my dream was destroyed yesterday. Otherwise, I would not know God. I can't possibly fall in love with him. Now I have a new dream, for my parents, my best friend and my future soul mate. All that I rely on God," said Zarra. When telling the story Zarra's eyes glare. Asyifa then hugged him. Amira. Irina and Farida were moved to see their friendship.

DDARRR DARR

The sound of fireworks was heard boisterously closing the annual bazaar of the University of Nusantara. Zarra and his friends stared at the sky. It's really amazingly beautiful. Zarra, Ashifa and Amira embrace each other. Zarra whispered to the two of them, "God's Insha to Jannah". Asyifa and Amira said the same thing. They also took Irina and Farida.
