Dreams of a Poor Girl
Chapter 27
After graduation, Zulfa and her sister were busy in the kitchen. The two are making food to eat together.
While Iwan and Amir were chatting in the front room.
"When do you want to get married, Wan?" ask Amir while enjoying a warm tea.
"Not yet, Mir. Still looking for a suitable one to be a wife, not from marriage," explained Iwan.
"Hopefully meet a mate who fits your criteria."
"Aamiin's."
Meanwhile in the kitchen, Zulfa also chatted while cooking.
"Son't go home first! I still want to enjoy my last day in town" Zulfa said, frying chicken.
"How will you do if you go home first?"
"Let's ask Mas Iwan to take you to the station, brother."
"Yes, but be careful when you go home! Don't forget to tell me if you've reached the station, let's get Mas Amir!"
"Yes, Brother."
They continued cooking while chatting about the work Zulfa wanted to find.
After an hour in the kitchen, the food is cooked and ready to be served. Zulfa brought rice and side dishes to the front room, while Zahra brought dishes, spoons and drinking water.
"Eat first, Mum! Later on he continued to talk," Zulfa invited and served his food.
"Oh, so take your nicotine," said Iwan.
"It's okay, Mom. From tomorrow Mas Iwan can no longer eat my cooking, unless Mas Iwan returns home," replied Zulfa.
"Yes too, anyway. I'm satisfied then" joked Iwan to make Zulfa and the others laugh.
They enjoyed lunch together, after which Zahra and Amir would go home first and bring some Zulfa supplies while here.
After lunch and clean up the cookware and dirty dishes. Zahra and Amir return home, Zulfa escorts her brother to the front.
"Be careful on the road, Brother, Mas!" zulfa said, kissing the back of Zahra and Amir's hands alternately.
"Yes, Deck. You sneak home, Brother already misses gathering together again."
"Yes, Brother."
After Zahra and Amir left, Zulfa stayed with Iwan on the terrace of the Zulfa hostel.
"Mas, I'm going to the doctor for a consultation! All right, well, you'll have a prescription for the cure" Pinta Zulfa.
"Yes, Fa. Are you sure you still want to hide your illness?"
"As long as Mas Iwan does not flirt or his brother is suspicious, I will not speak the truth.
Because I don't want to see my brother sad anymore, I want to see my brother happy even though my condition is not good" Zulfa explained.
"As far as you are, Fa. For sure I wouldn't get involved if one day your brother knew the truth. Because from the beginning I've reminded you to be honest before it's too late."
"Yes, Mas. I've thought of everything, I won't involve Mas Iwan in this matter."
"Yes, Mas. Thanks for helping."
"Sama-sama, I'll go home first!" pamit Iwan's.
After Iwan left, Zulfa decided to enter the room and rest. However, before going to bed he took the medicine because it was deliberately not taking it, because there is still Zahra.

This morning Zulfa was preparing to return to his hometown. Not much money carried, just a few because some Zahra had brought yesterday.
Before leaving for the station, Zulfa took time to say goodbye to Anis. One of the hostess residents who has been considered like his own brother.
"Sir, I'm home, yes! Sometimes if there is time to play to my village, or I play here," said Zulfa.
"Yes, Fa. It's a simple matter, which is important you focus on your health. Don't let you drop! The medicine should also be taken routinely!"
"Yes, Mother. Thanks, yeah, it's always been there when I needed help."
"No need to thank you, I sincerely help you because I already consider you like my own sister," said Anis then hugged Zulfa.
"I'm definitely gonna miss Anis."
"Bak must have missed you, Fa. Be careful on the road, yeah! Don't forget to let me know when we get home!"
"Ready, Ma'am. I'm leaving, yeah! Assalamualaikum."
"Getishalight."
Zulfa stepped away from the boarding house that held many memories for her. He immediately approached Iwan who was waiting for him, Iwan had booked a taxi online to make it easier for Zulfa who brought luggage.
During the trip, Zulfa's vision was only fixed outside the car window. He wanted to enjoy the trip in this P City because he did not know when else would be going to the city.
"Fa, take good care of yourself! Don't hesitate to call me if you need anything!" said Iwan on the sidelines of the trip.
"Yes, Mas. Thank you for helping me so much while here."
"Whenever you need help, I will definitely help you."
"Yes, Mum."
Not feeling they had arrived at the station, Iwan helped Zulfa take the goods in the trunk and bring them to the waiting room.
The departure schedule is at 8, and now it is 7.45.15 minutes away the train that will be boarded by Zulfa will leave.
"Till here, Mom. Let me bring myself into the carriage."
"Yes. Careful, yes! Don't forget to tell me!"
"Yes, Mas. Assalamualaikum."
"Getishalight."
Iwan looked at Zulfa's departure until he was not seen again, after making sure Zulfa entered the train, he immediately rushed home because the taxi was still waiting.
