Certainty of Love

107

The next morning, Zayya went to the hospital using Rayya's motorbike which was left at home. She did not take him to her husband's residence.

As usual when he arrived at the hospital, Zayya before doing the activity on that day he also saw and prepared what he had to do today.

Now Zayya immediately headed to Cyra's room to report what she was going to do today to her guidance physician. Once in Cyra's room as usual Zayya did her job well. This is not part of the plan but indeed Zayya deserves a reward for his work.

“Zayya!” call Cyra as soon as Zayya gets out of the room.

Zayya turned her head and turned around, “What's the doctor?” ask Zayya politely.

“That I just want to apologize. Forgive me Zayya.” Cyra.

Zayya who heard the apology from Cyra was silent and confused, “You must be confused but you will definitely understand later.” Cyra smiled.

Zayya nodded. He didn't ask any more about it. She immediately passed from Cyra's room to return to her room. But suddenly he was pulled by someone into the park.

“Doctor, what are you doing? Why pull me here. I want to work.” Zayya said as soon as they arrived at the park and she threw out Diaz's hand holding her arm.

“Sorry!” diaz lirih.

“Sorry for what else doctor? Did you do anything wrong?” ask Zayya.

Diaz nodded, “I want to apologize for everything.” Reply Diaz.

“Do doctors already know the reason behind the incident that happened to us?” zayya asked wanting to know what was really going on. He also wants to make peace with the situation.

Diaz nodded again and immediately invited Zayya to sit on the park bench and began to tell everything without anyone passing through. She even played a tape of her conversation with Cyra and her parents last night to get Zayya to believe it. Well, after Cyra's house she also asked her parents everything.

About 20 minutes Diaz recounted everything Zayya responded to with a silent expression. Diaz could not guess what the girl was thinking but one thing she believed the girl was hurt.

“Sorry!” diaz is back.

Instantly Zayya's tears that tried to hold him back desperately shed and wet his cheeks. He wanted to be angry but did not know who to be angry with. Everything that happened to him was planned. Although he had expected this to have something to do with Diaz's parents but he still did not expect that this was the truth.

“I'm sorry for me and my family Zayya. I don't know what to do either. I-” said Diaz stopped seeing Zayya who ran away leaving him.

Diaz sighed and did not chase after Zayya anymore. He knew the girl was hurt and he would need some time alone to accept everything that happened. Diaz immediately returned to her room and began her activities that morning. Not to forget, he also asked the workshop to deliver Zayya's motorcycle to the girl's residence.

***

A week passed very quickly, Zayya still avoided Diaz and she only talked to Cyra as she was. Cyra had already apologized and explained everything back to him. But Zayya kept avoiding. He could already accept everything that happened to him. She even made up with Nayya and her brother advised her to make a decision after considering her good and bad.

Zayya after reporting to Cyra she immediately returned to her room and began her activities that morning with other friends who no longer talked about it. At lunch Zayya immediately headed to the cafeteria because today he was in a hurry so did not have time to bring supplies.

Zayya was about to order but again someone pulled his hand and who else it would be if not Diaz. This time Diaz took Zayya to his car and now they are in the car out of the hospital.

Zayya who had been silent to Diaz because he also wanted to make peace with Diaz forgave everything, “What is the doctor? Why always pull my arm suddenly and without my consent? What if my arm bone cracks because you always pull it.” Zayya finally said.

“I will treat it if it cracks.” Answer Diaz lightly.

Zayya also smiled faintly, “You heart doctor is not a bone doctor. Basic!” Zayya.

Diaz smiled, “Have you forgiven me?” ask Diaz.

Zayya nodded slowly, “I have no reason not to forgive you doctor because you are also the victim. I'm trying to make peace with everything that's happened.” Answer Zayya.

“What that means is you also-”

“I forgive you and forgive your family but that doesn't mean I accept your feelings doctor. I admit I'm comfortable with you and I like you enough. But I want to focus on my profession in order to quickly graduate with satisfactory grades and once graduated will soon get a job.” Cut Zayya.

Diaz nodded in understanding, “Alright, I understand. Then let's have lunch first.” Diaz said then not long after he immediately turned the car into a restaurant.

They immediately went in and ordered their lunch that day. They enjoyed their meal in a peaceful atmosphere. There was no more sadness on the faces of the two. They have made peace.

About 30 minutes later they had lunch there. Diaz immediately made the payment. While Zayya answered the call from home and she was shocked to hear what Mama Fara said.

Diaz who had finished making the payment raised her eyebrows looking at Zayya who was looking at her with another gaze, “What is it?” ask Diaz.

“Do doctors know currently the doctor's parents are in my house?” ask Zayya.

Diaz who heard it was a little surprised, “From the expression the doctor gave it seemed like the doctor knew that they were coming or this was indeed the doctor's request.” Said Zayya holding back an upset.

“They did say to see your family last night. But really I didn't know at all that they were going to do it today. Really, I do want to marry you but not by forcing you. I'll do it slowly.” Diaz.

Zayya took a deep breath after seeing no false expression in Diaz's eyes, “We go home to the hospital.” Zayya said then she immediately stood out from the restaurant. Diaz follows her while trying to send a message to her mom.

“Sorry!” diaz said again as they were in the car.

Diaz who heard Zayya's answer was silent because Zayya's answer was very dubious. It was better for Zayya to voice annoyance at him than to be silent and his answer was as relaxed as it was.

While at the residence of Mama Fara and papa Imran. There were four adults sitting opposite each other in the living room.

“Pardon us if our arrival today without any notice and make you Zayya parents shocked. But our arrival here didn't happen suddenly. We've been planning to come here a long time since seeing your youngest daughter in the hospital five months ago.” Papi Atif.

Papa Imran nodded, “We understand sir. We have no problem with the arrival of the ladies and gentlemen here. But our daughter-”

“He is very good. We want him to be our daughter-in-law. Maybe he told you about what happened to him. For that we apologize profusely. We know what we do is outrageous but that we do-”

“We understand mistress. Our daughter has accepted what happened to her. We also will not interfere with the problems that occur to him.” cut mama Fara.

“Good. We understand your point. We'll apologize to him in person later. But our arrival here intends to propose her to be the wife of our son and daughter-in-law in our family.” said papi Atif voiced their purpose in coming.

“We know what your destination is but we cannot decide whether to accept this application or not. We leave all decisions to our daughter. In addition, our daughter has not graduated from college seems less worthy to be your son's partner who is a doctor.” Papa Imran.

“You are too demeaning your daughter sir. She's more everything to be our son's wife. We chose her to be a future daughter-in-law not because her job was commensurate with our son or not. But because we love it and more importantly our son loves your daughter from the first time he saw her. So there's no reason we should reject your daughter. He is far from worthy of being our son's companion.” said papi Atif.

“In addition we have investigated it. Sorry if what we did was inappropriate for doing illegal things. But really we do that with only one goal is to get to know our future daughter-in-law.” continued Mami Kartika.

After that they continued the conversation that was worth talking about but papa Imran and mama Fara still said that this proposal only Zayya could decide. Mama Fara and papa Imran will contact them if Zayya agrees.

After returning from the profession Zayya is now directly in the trial by his family including Nayya also there while Rayya he connected through a video call to join the trial of his sister.

“How son, did you accept the doctor's application?” papa Imran asked, looking at the youngest daughter.

Zayya was silent not knowing what to answer because before she came home. Diaz takes her back somewhere and there Diaz expresses her feelings but she hasn't answered.

“I'm confused.” Zayya.

“Bingung why? Do you have any doubts?” ask Nayya.

Zayya shook her head, “I don't know. I told you not that I was comfortable and admired Doctor Diaz. But I don't know what I feel it's love or not.” Zayya.

“Then what did your heart say?” ask Rayya from across the street.

Zayya shook her head, “I'm confused.” Zayya.

“Ya is like this. You do the istikharah prayer. Ask directions. We will ask for time for you to answer.” Mama Fara.

Zayya nodded in approval to her mother's idea.

Three days passed very quickly. During these three days Zayya prayed istikharah asking for instructions to take the right decision and his heart said to accept the application from Diaz. The clue that came to him also went to the doctor.

Finally Zayya agreed to accept the application from Diaz who was immediately welcomed with joy by the family Diaz and Diaz themselves of course. He was happy with the decision Zayya made.

A week later, the marriage will be held a month later. Diaz promised to continue to support Zayya's ideals to complete his profession. He even promises not to touch Zayya until she graduates the profession or until Zayya is ready. He asks to hasten their marriage instead of wanting to hinder or reject Zayya's request to marry later after she goes to college. Diaz does that on the grounds that he can look after Zayya without fear of any more slander that will arise. Finally, the marriage of Zayya and Diaz was concluded in a month.

Everyone started preparing for Zayya's wedding. Now Zayya asks her sister to design a kebaya and wedding dress for her. Just like Rayya who asked Nayya to design it as soon as Zayya followed suit.

This is the weekend so that Nayya is at home and designing clothes for her sister who is indeed a wedding is not until another month, “Sister-in-law, and she is still in her home, looks like our conversation a few months ago in this room in Allah's Ojabah.” Risam.

Zayya who played with his nephew smiled and then he remembered what his brother-in-law meant, “That is proof that the word is prayer. You want your soul mate to be brought closer even though joking at that time but God grants it immediately to bring your soul mate and you will get married.” Nayya.

“Kakak's right. At that time I was only joking but it turned out that the door of Allah's mercy was open at that time so that my joke was granted. Well, even with a very dramatic turn of events. But I still thank him.” Zayya.

“That's a sign you do deserve to get a test like that deck.” timpal Nayya.

Zayya nodded, “Dek, let's see the design first.” Pinta Nayya's. Zayya immediately approached and immediately saw the design that Nayya made. He smiled and then nodded. She loved the design that her sister made.

Risam who saw his wife talking to his sister he smiled then he suddenly felt his chest hurt. In recent months he often felt chest pain. I don't know why he hasn't checked.

Risam invites her children to play and then somehow suddenly her tears drip without being able to stand either fall because of what. He was suddenly sad.

“Mas, why?” asked Nayya who saw her husband wipe her tears.

Risam just shook his head and smiled and then he went back to playing with his children.

A week later in preparation for Zayya and Diaz's wedding. Rayya gave birth to her first son in a hospital named Elfattan Syahreza Hakim.
