After performing the dzuhur prayer, Hafiz who usually plays basketball on the court this time decided to return to class. Not without reason, considering that for three days Hafiz knew Zahra was absent from her routine obligations. As a man who has grown up, Hafiz knows very well that the girl is having her monthly guests so as to make the girl absent from her prayers. And during that time Zahra always spent his rest time in class rather than having to go to the cafeteria with his friends. That is the main reason why after the prayer dzuhur Hafiz chose to return to class just to see if Zahra is okay.
Arriving at the class Hafiz saw Zahra sitting alone on her stool while focusing on her phone, Hafiz smiled slightly at her.
"Fiz," called Sandi the vice-chairman while waving her hand.
Hafiz moved his feet towards where his friends were sitting.
"Fiz, Zahra herself" pointed Andi with her chin.
Hafiz just smiled and sat his butt on the bench next to Sandi.
"Congratulations, Fiz" Noval said, patting Hafiz on the shoulder.
"Congratulations to what?" ask Hafiz confused.
"Yes for those of you who are no longer single, Fiz. Great you Fiz, can dapetin Zahra," sambar Andi who sat in front of Hafiz.
"You know not Fiz, your birthday with Zahra was made "National Heartbreak Day" the same as the children of one school," Noval said.
"What the hell, there's just," said Hafiz in response to the words of his friends.
"ASTAGHIRULLAHAL 'ADZIM,"
Zahra's screeching spontaneously made Hafiz turn towards the girl. On seeing it Zahra was in a standing position pecking with a sharp breath. Hafiz could clearly see the girl's hand shaking even the phone in her hand until it slipped out of her grasp.
Hafiz felt the awkwardness of Zahra's attitude today. Why did his heart feel anxious thinking about the girl. Like there was something hidden.
"Fiz, samperin there" Sandi said as she pushed Hafiz's shoulder slowly.
"There are already his friends" Hafiz refused, seeing the girls having a serious conversation commenting on something on Zahra's cell phone.
There was a sigh as well as a puff of breath from Sandi.
"Seek attention, Fiz. Don't worry too much" advises Noval.
"Yes, Fiz. The turn will be a guy who gives attention to Zahra, his room is jeolous," Andi said.
Hafiz rolled his eyes lazily, not that he did not care or worry about Zahra. Only, he knew the limits. He does not want his excessive attention without a clear bond between himself and Zahra increasingly makes others misunderstand. With the news of the birds that are currently spread, Hafiz himself is uncomfortable especially if Zahra is uncomfortable. Hafiz felt really bad for the girl.
"Aah ah, I went back to my seat. Soon Mr. Santoso came in" said Hafiz as he got up from his seat followed by Sandi and Noval.

After school hours ended, Zahra did not go home immediately because today was her Marching Band training schedule, even Zahra was appointed as a major replacing the previous major who chose to leave the extracurricular. In addition to Zahra, there is Prisil who was also selected in the extracurricular Marching Band Moderate Latitude, Hafiz, Gilang and Kemal prefer to follow OSIS. And today it just so happens that members of the OSIS also hold regular meetings every week.
It was already afternoon, it was past the ashar time when the Coach instructed the marching band practice to end. After returning the Marching Band tools, one by one the children began to leave school. Only Zahra is still sitting in the mosque foyer while waiting for an invitation even he is not aware of the existence of Hafiz in the mosque.
Hafiz, who had been feeling awkward about Zahra's attitude, was quietly waiting for the girl to practice Marching Band after she attended an OSIS meeting an hour ago. I don't know why he was so worried about seeing the girl. There was something that made him worry as well as encouraged him to keep an eye on Zahra.
While waiting for Zahra to practice, Hafiz accidentally saw a man in the same uniform with him seen pacing back and forth in front of the gate while observing children who were practicing marching band. But what made Hafiz surprised was that the man was wearing a helmet on his head and even covered the glass of his helmet so that Hafiz did not recognize the man. At first Hafiz was not suspicious, he thought maybe the man was waiting for his girlfriend, who was, but when all the children had gone home Hafiz still saw the man in front of the gate even immediately ran towards his motorbike while turning on his engine when he saw Zahra rise from his seat leaving the mosque porch and step towards the gate.
The suspicious Hafiz caught up with Zahra and quietly walked behind the girl to make sure nothing would happen to her. And sure enough just as Zahra started to come out through the school gate, suddenly the man was running his motorbike at high speed towards Zahra, about to crash into him. But Hafiz swiftly pulled Zahra's arm until the girl's body was pulled hard towards him, pushing Hafiz's body and ended up both falling with Zahra in Hafiz's arms.
Before Hafiz focused on the girl in his arms, he stared in a beaver at the motor that was about to hit Zahra. He saw the motorbike had stopped for a moment even the rider turned his head back like making sure something before finally returning the bike.
Hafiz turned his attention to Zahra just after the motor drove back, the girl looked pecked at seeing herself with a face that had gone deathly pale and a body trembling in fear.
"Zah, you're okay, right?" asked Hafiz worried, the distance between the two faces was very close even Hafiz had not realized if he was sitting while hugging the girl. Zahra was still unmoved, her gaze seemed blank and before long, her eyes were closed unconscious
Hafiz was so panicked that Zahra suddenly became unconscious. He immediately lifted his body and re-entered the deserted school area. He spread his gaze around the corner of the school with a face filled with worry and confusion.
"Yes Allah.. Where should I take Zahra? The UKS is definitely locked. The masjid?? ahh. I did not spend it on the floor of the Mosque which was only carpeted. How'this..? God, please give me help" the monologue of Hafiz in his bewildered heart.
Shortly after Hafiz swept the view of the entire corner of the school. Finally he saw something that made him say hamdalah.
"Alhamdulillah" murmured Hafiz.
Hafiz was able to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw a black innova antelope parked in a special parking lot. With a half-run step, he immediately rushed to the place where the car owner was. The hallway was closed while still carrying Zahra until finally he stopped in front of the door of a room with a signboard hanging on his station "SPACE KEP. THE SCHOOL".
"Assalamu 'Aalaikum Abi's. Abi sorry to help Hafiz, "squealed Hafiz with a breath of breath in front of the door.
Inside the room, there were quick steps leading to the door. Mr. Ridwan the Headmaster who was none other than Abi from Hafiz stepped in half running towards the door shortly after hearing the panicked voice of his youngest son asking for help.
"Wa 'alaikumus sa-lam," replied Mr. Ridwan as he opened the door in a paused voice, shocked to see the son carrying an unconscious girl.
"Astaghfirullahal 'adzim Hafiz. What's with this girl, Fiz? quickly bring it in," ordered Mr. Ridwan.
Inside Mr. Bandi, Geography teacher and Marching Band builder was sitting on a sofa in the room. He suddenly stood up shocked to see the arrival of Hafiz who was carrying Zahra who was fainting. He immediately shifted from his standing position so that Hafiz could lay down Zahra on the Long sofa.
Hafiz carefully laid down Zahra's body.
"Why can Zahra faint gini, Fiz?" ask Mr. Bandi.
"Yok Sir. It was almost about to be hit by a motorbike, lucky I still had time to pull his body so as not to get hit," explained Hafiz.
"Subhanallah, how come, Fiz?" Mr. Ridwan asked until Hafiz finally explained the chronology of the incident from the beginning until it ended with the girl unconscious.
"Sir Bandi, sorry can you call Mr Arif to my room?" pinta Pak Ridwan who was immediately "justified" by Mr. Bandi.
Immediately Mr. Bandi went out of the room to call Mr. Arif the security at the front post.
"Fiz, you can help Abi contact the girl's parents. Abi wants to check the cctv record."
Hafiz nodded while picking up his phone.
Hafiz was seen struggling with the phone in his hand. After getting the number of Zahra's parents from Lintang, he immediately contacted them to tell Zahra's condition.
Hafiz sat on a short sofa that was in the direction of Zahra's head. He saw that the girl was still faithfully closing her eyes, with a sad face. Mr. Ridwan, Mr. Bandi and Mr. Arif are still busy looking at a computer screen that shows footage of the incident about 45 minutes ago.
Outside there were two middle-aged people half-running down the hallway to the place where the only princess was. He is Bagas and Mia, they are Zahra's father and mother. We see the face of Mother Mia who was wet with tears, half running with her hands held tightly by the husband who was also overwhelmed by worries about the state of her beloved daughter.
The two were stunned to see their daughter lying unconscious, just as their feet stepped into the room where Zahra was. Mother Mia also immediately approached her daughter, while Mr. Bagas chose to approach Mr. Ridwan who walked towards her.
"Ridwan"
"Nude"
Call them together after their distance is close and facing each other, making the other residents set their sights on them including Hafiz. But Zahra's shrill voice stopped their focus so they turned to look at Zahra who was starting to wake up.
"Mother," said Zahra to call her mother who had been crying while hugging the princess' body.
"Dear Zahra, thank God you have realized" said Mother Mia on the sidelines of her cries.
Zahra got up and positioned herself sitting next to the mother who was still holding her.
"Work you crying? Zahra is okay Bun," said Zahra softly while removing the tears that had soaked the mother's beautiful face.
"Nobody's hurt, right, honey?" Mother Mia moves slowly Zahra's body to check the condition of the body of the beloved princess.
"Alhamdulillah Zahra was fine, Bun, there was something. "his words were interrupted for a moment when He remembered Hafiz saving him. He immediately turned his head and looked at Hafiz.
"Hafiz, you're okay, right?" asked Zahra with anxious look because when Hafiz saved him, they fell with Hafiz holding Zahra's body so as not to hit the asphalt.
Hafiz showed her smile as the girl asked her condition with a worried face.
"Alhamdulillah Zah, I am fine," replied Hafiz pacifyingly.
"I'm the one who should be worried instead of you, Zah," inner Hafiz.
"Thank you, son Hafiz, for saving Zahra" said Mother Mia sincerely.
"Tante together," Hafiz replied with a smile.
Drrr.. Drrr.. Drrr...
Zahra's phone vibrated indicating a message coming in. He reached into his uniform pocket to pick up the vibrating object. The phone screen displays messages from numbers that always send them mysterious messages. With a long sigh and a slight tremble, Zahra pressed the word "read" to open the message.
"Zahra dear, sorry I failed to take you far away.just wait for me to come back.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, ZAHRA."
The contents of the message made Zahra's tears flow slowly.
"Astaghfirullahal'adzim," Zahra murmured quietly but could still be heard.
"What's up, Zah?" ask Hafiz.
Zahra turned her head towards the man with tears. He held out his phone to Hafiz, so that the man could read it himself. The questionable strokes were clearly visible on the faces of the people in the room.
Hafiz read the message and the previous messages. His serious face immediately began to show anger. He never thought how a man could call himself loving a woman but could hurt that woman. He alone loves Zahra in silence, let alone see the girl hurt to see a drop of her tears fall he was not able to, his heart hurt. For him, Zahra's wounds and sorrows are his wounds too.
"What's up, Fiz?" asked Mr. Ridwan in wonder because he saw anger covering his son's face.
"It seems that the man was deliberately trying to harm Zahra, Abi," Hafiz explained, making everyone in the room gasp.
Hafiz gives Zahra's phone to her Abi. Mr. Ridwan and Mr. Bagas also immediately read the messages that have been sent more than five months.
"Astaghfirullahal.. Mr Bandi, Mr Arif recorded cctv has not seen the face of the child or anything that can show his identity? this incident has been planned, this is a criminal crime and must be submitted to the authorities to punish him," said Mr. Ridwan with his face.
Hearing the words of Mr. Ridwan, Mother Mia also hugged her daughter tightly.
"Do we just call the police, ma'am?" ask Mr. Bagas to Mr. Ridwan, who changed his call to respect the position of his best friend.
"Yes, it looks like we should ask the police for help, Mas Bagas."
"Sir Bandi, we just copy the cctv recording to the flasdish as proof. And this phone, I also bring Zahra to strengthen the evidence" said Mr. Ridwan.
"The recording has been copied sir," said Mr. Bandi after a while later.
"Yes already, then let Mr. Bandi and Mas Bagas come with me to the police station," asked Mr. Ridwan.
"Sir Arif, I leave school, please be guarded afraid that something unexpected will happen" he added.
"Corn, Sir. Ready," said Mr. Arif respectfully.
"Mother's okay going home alone with Zahra? or do I need to call Hendra to pick him up?" mr. Bagas said to his wife.
"Looks like no Mas, dangerous. Let Hafiz drive them, "prevent Mr. Ridwan.
"Hafiz, you just bring Abi's car to drive your motorcycle later so that Abi takes it home," said Mr. Ridwan gave the car keys, Hafiz who received the key back to give the key.
"Can Hafiz get a car?" asked Mr. Bagas a little doubtful.
"Mas Bagas do not have to worry, Hafiz my son is already adept at carrying a car," explained Mr. Ridwan reassuringly followed by a smile Hafiz.
They all immediately stepped out of the room. Mr. Ridwan, Mr. Bagas and Mr. Bandi got into Pak Bagas' black Pajero sports car towards the police station. While Hafiz, Zahra and Mia Mother entered Pak Ridwan's car.
