"All the problems God has put in your life are not to test how strong you are. But God wants to see how strong you are when you pray to God"

Three days have passed. As usual after the dzuhur prayer, Zahra spent her time sitting on a park bench that was right next to the basketball court. Unlike the usual who always read books, this time Zahra seemed to focus on her phone. He was so busy with what he was doing that there was no time for him to look or pay attention to his surroundings.
On the court, Hafiz was playing basketball with his friends. Sometimes he looked at Zahra who was cool with his phone. Hafiz seemed to think of something that made him want to end his game immediately. He threw the ball in his hand towards Kemal.
"I hope, first" Hafiz told Kemal as he stepped off the field.
He also stepped closer to Zahra who was still busy with her cellphone.
"May I sit here?" said the polite Hafiz who was standing right in front of Zahra.
Hafiz is more comfortable using my word - you are with another Zahra if he talks to other friends who use me-you.
Zahra looked up at the owner of the voice for a while before she lowered her head to stare at the screen again.
"This bench is public property, so there is no need to ask for permission," said Zahra coldly as usual and still did not take her eyes off the screen of her phone.
"Thank you."
Hafiz sat on the far side, Zahra also seen shifting to the other side. Seeing the distance between them made the person who saw them like a couple who were fighting. Zahra tries to act as usual by staying focused on her phone even though she is very nervous, especially when she remembers how Hafiz behaved to her three days ago.
The children who were not far from where they were sitting looked at the two, all unable to believe what they saw. Hafiz, the school idol who is always indifferent and anti-female, suddenly sits together with Zahra who is famous as the Ice Goddess. Yes, Zahra who has a very beautiful and charming face with a headscarf on her head makes her much liked by the opposite sex, not infrequently of them express their feelings directly to the girl, but all of them were rejected with one word "SORRY" coming out of his mouth without looking at the person in front of him.
On the field, Hafiz's friends also looked excited to see the two. The rant from those who said "Well, Hafiz again shot Zahra that" made Gilang and Kemal just look at each other with a confused look and curious about Hafiz's attitude, he said, they also don't think that Hafiz really expressed his feelings for Zahra. They know very well how Hafiz is.
"You're alone? Where are the others?" tanya Hafiz opened her voice.
Hafiz looked cute and ordinary without caring about the people who looked at him questioningly. He also thought there was nothing wrong with the two of them, but they were not together because they were in a public place, moreover, some children also seem to be sitting on other benches in the park and on the field many children who are playing or just sitting watching. So what's wrong with him.
"Lintang and Sisil are going to the cafeteria, if Bela is in the teacher's room having business with Bu Rini."
"Oh. Zah, you're better now, aren't you?" ask Hafiz carefully that makes Zahra again remember the attitude of Hafiz to him while in the UKS. Zahra also breathed.
"Hafiz, thank you for that time. Sorry if I just give you a word now," said Zahra who slightly paused for a while. His words were able to warm Hafiz's heart. Pull it on the lips now looks visible.
Zahra lowered her head even deeper, she felt ashamed that Hafiz had witnessed her weak self back then. Hafiz also seemed speechless to Zahra's words, there was a sense of shame as he recalled his attitude towards Zahra.
Long time no sound from the two of them. Hafiz finally opened his voice again.
"Zahra, I don't know how big of a problem you're having or how deep the wound is in your heart. Only, if indeed your heart is no longer able to accommodate that burden, I hope you can share it with someone you trust. At least it can lighten your load a little bit,"
Zahra was silent listening to Hafiz. During this time he always pretended to be strong and strong, he did not want his tears to make the people he loved to be sad and burdened by it. Although what Hafiz said was true, he needed someone who could support him when he was no longer able to stand. He can only complain everything to Allah or tell a little story to Husna, his psychiatrist.
"Zahra, if you are hesitant to tell others. Can you trust me enough. Let me be a friend you can make a place to lean on, the friend you make as a place where you can complain and the friend you always share half of the burden you feel. And certainly after Allah, God willing I will not object or feel burdened by it. I just want you to feel less alone because I know a lot of people who love you."
Hearing Hafiz's words, without Zahra noticing the melts of tears began to flow down her cheeks. No man has ever said that to her. During this time, the words he often heard from men were "I like you, Zahra" or "You don't want to be my girlfriend". But Hafiz.. He said the words that made him seem to want to take refuge and depend on the man, not to mention the gentle voice of Hafiz when chanting the holy verses of God that made Zahra's heart tremble violently to hear them.
Really, there was something he felt in his heart. The feeling of where he wanted so badly to fall in love with the man. But Zahra tried to pull him off. He does not want to feel pain and hurt because he loves someone for the second time especially if someday Hafiz is not his soul mate.
Seeing the tears flowing down Zahra's cheeks, Hafiz reached into something in the back pocket of her pants, she shifted slightly towards Zahra. He gave it to Zahra. Zahra was stunned to see a handkerchief that Hafiz offered to her, she also had time to look at Hafiz who was looking at her while smiling and nodding her head.
"I'm sorry, if my words make you uncomfortable. "I don't mak. said Hafiz who immediately cut Zahra.
"I'm sorry Hafiz, I'm sorry.I'm always worried about everyone.. " zahra said in her tears while tightly grasping the handkerchief she had received earlier from Hafiz.
"There is no powerful being in this world Zahra, for power belongs to God alone."
Zahra nodded softly at Hafiz's words.
"Zahra, sometimes by crying our burden will be light but somehow I don't like to see you cry, maybe not just me but everyone who sees you must be the same."
Zahra wiped her tears with Hafiz's handkerchief.
"Hafiz, thank you. You always have your own way of comforting or calming people" Zahra said, smiling without looking into Hafiz's eyes.
Hafiz smiled at him. He went back to picking up another thing in his pocket. He thrust it back towards Zahra which made the girl look back at him.
"For me?" tanya Zahra saw a prayer beads made of coccah wood in Hafiz's hand and immediately answered a nod by Hafiz.
"Often recite when the mood is erratic. By remembering God, God willing our hearts will be more at ease."
Zahra nodded at Hafiz's words. Although his words sound simple but the sentence is able to make his heart feel calm.
"Already bell. Come on class," Hafiz asked when he heard the bell ringing.
They got up from their seats and walked towards the classroom, with Zahra walking a few meters in front of Hafiz. The smiles of the two are on their lips.
