Dreams of a Poor Girl
Chapter 12



At 5 a.m., Zahra was ready to go. This time the qabul will be held in the mosque in the village.


Zulfa has also prepared with a soft pink kebaya, as well as a long skirt patterned batik. She looks very beautiful and graceful, although it seems simple.


At exactly 7 o'clock, Zahra had finished and put on a kebaya. Zulfa met her brother to accompany her fairies.


"Beautiful!" praise Zulfa when she's in her sister's room.


"Thank you, Deck. You're also beautiful."


Zulfa immediately took his brother's hand and they prepared to go to the mosque.


While not far from Zulfa's house, Dirga's men still faithfully pay attention to every Zulfa activity. Wherever Zulfa went, he would follow like an invisible shadow.


Arriving at the mosque, Zahra was immediately ushered in to carry out the qabul ijab. Amir and his parents were also there.


Zahra sat next to Amir who was directly facing the ruler. After it was felt that everyone was present, the ijab qabul event began.


"Bismil was born Rahmanirrahim, I married and married you Amir Rashidi bin Sudrajat with Zahra Khairunisa bint Sudarto, with a gold dowry of 15 grams and a million rupiah paid in cash."


"I accept the marriage of Zahra Khairunisa bint Sudarto with the dowry paid in cash!" amir said loudly and smoothly.


"How are the witnesses? Right?"


"Well." Right."


"Well." Right."


"Alhamdulilbornabbilalamin" said everyone there. Penghulu continued to pray do'a after ijab qabul and pray for the new married couple.


"Congratulations, now you have legally become a couple," said penghulu.


Zulfa who felt moved immediately shed her tears. Her brother has now found his soul mate.


She prayed that her brother's household would always be happy and harmonious, even though there would be a storm coming later.


"Congratulations, Brother. Finally, brother found the port of love that had always existed in every brother's do'a, "inner Zulfa while wiping her tears.

Meanwhile, in a room in the headquarters. Dirga is being sent because his men have not given him information.


He took his cell phone and typed something.


Where are you? Why hasn't there been any info in since? That is the message of Dirga.


Ting


A reply entered on his cellphone, his men sent a photo when ijab qabul took place in the mosque earlier.


Brakkkk


Dimas who happened to have just entered Dirga's room immediately jumped in shock. Dirga seemed to hold back emotions because he saw the photo without asking first what really happened.


"Are you all right, sir?" ask Dimas carefully. However, it was not the answer he got, but rather a gutsy gaze that was ready to pounce on his prey.


Dimas immediately had trouble swallowing his saliva. Eventually, he decided to remain silent rather than risk his life because of Dirga's anger.


Without waiting for long, Dirga immediately contacted his men.


"Whose wedding photos did you send that to?" ask Dirga without a stale base.


"That's the girl's sister's wedding, boss. Since then I did not send information because the girl had just come out of the house to take her brother," explained Dirga's men.


Dirga heaved a sigh of relief because what he thought did not happen. Yeah, he figured it was Zulfa's marriage to Bryan.


"Well, if it were my girl's wedding then your head would be separated from your body right now. Because you have been negligent in carrying out your duties," Dirga said with great emphasis and then turned off his call unilaterally.


"When have you been here, Dim?" ask Dirga with his comfort. While Dimas immediately gawked at the boss's silly question.


"Are you amnesiac, sir? Even you've given me a nagging look," muttered Dimas inwardly.


"Just now, sir. I want to ask you if you need anything?"


"Hem, make me a cup of coffee and toast!" pinta Dirga while sitting in his great chair.


"Okay, sir," Dimas replied and walked out of Dirga's room.


Once outside the room, Dimas walked over while grumbling.


"It's a good thing you're my boss, otherwise I might have kicked it out of here. In love but like crazy."


****


After the implementation of the ijab qabul, now the family of Amir and also his relatives to the house of Zahra.


"Mas Amir pinter looking for a wife, already beautiful, kind, diligent, cooking again pinter," praised one of Amir's cousins.


"You're right, Zahra is indeed an extraordinarily tough girl. That's what makes Mas Amir even more sure to marry her" Amir added, holding Zahra's hand.


"Oh yes, he said Zulfa had finished the exam. Where do you plan to go to college?" ask Amir's mother.


"Plan to go to college in P, Mom."


"A lot away. Why not just in town?"


"Zulfa wants to study independently, ma'am. Zulfa does not want to be too dependent on Zahra, especially Zulfa has grown up is not possible if you have to continue to take care of her brother," explained Zulfa.


"Dad!" Tegur Zahra's.


"How many times did you say? You are the responsibility of Brother, there is no word of bother or difficulty for Brother if it concerns your future," Zahra said with teary eyes.


While Zulfa could only lower his head holding back the cries. Actually he can not be far from his brother, but what is possible for him to be an independent child.


"Already, Ra. Let your sister try to enjoy her youth, as long as it is still within the limits of fairness," said Mr. Amir.


"Father is right, Ra. Zulfa will live a life like yours, get married and have a family of his own. He can't possibly continue to depend on you" Amir said as he stroked Zahra's shoulders, which began to tremble as she held back her tears.


"Sister, I promise I'll always be little sister. But this time let me learn to determine my future" said Zulfa, who had gathered before Zahra.


Without answering his sister's words, Zahra immediately pulled Zulfa in her arms. Both of them were sobbing, it was really not the fate of living like this that they wanted.


They are like orphans who have no direction or purpose. Although, they still have a mother, but in fact since his departure until now there is no news they received from his mother.
