"Sir, can't you come in?" zahra said behind the door.
"Come in, brother! The door is not locked" said Zulfa.
Zahra opened the door, and Zulfa was reading a book. He immediately approached his sister.
"At busy, huh?"
"No, Brother. What's up?"
"This is an invitation for you" Zahra said, handing over a wedding invitation.
"Who's invitation, brother?"
"You read it yourself, let it know! Then you go back to the room, yeah!"
"Yes, Brother. Thanks." Thanks."
Zulfa opened the invitation, and was surprised to find Bryan and Rosa listed there.
Zulfa's memories returned a year ago, when she came home from college and got a call from Bryan.
#flashback on
"Assalamualaikum! What's up, Bry?"
"Girlwindsalam! The fa!" call Bryan.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"If something happens, please keep believing in me."
"What do you mean?" ask Zulfa confused.
"You know that I really love you and love you? So, I ask you to believe that I never intended to betray you!
Fa, do you want to promise me to always trust me?"
"Sorry, Bry. If I promise I can't because I'm afraid I can't keep it.
Maybe I'll try to keep believing you, no matter what."
"Goodoo, Fa."
#flashback off
"So, this is what you meant at the time, Bry. Is it possible that I can still trust you? The evidence is already in sight, if you will be with another woman, the woman who loves you the most from the past.
Maybe we are not fools. I'll try to make it forget all about us. Because I don't want to be labeled as a destroyer of people's households either" Zulfa murmured.
His heart seemed to be broken into pieces, Bryan who came begging for love for him, but he also hurt his feelings.
It's fallen, hit the stairs. That is, the proper proverb for Zulfa today. In the midst of her grief because of the illness she suffered, now she is faced with another problem.
It is time for Zulfa to rise again, he does not want to continue to dissolve in sadness. He resigned to his current destiny, abandoned lovers who stood together at the bersaminan with other women. Also the disease that increasingly gnawing his body.
"I must rise up for a better future!" zulfa said with a strong determination.

Two months passed, this morning Zulfa planned to find work in the city. He has prepared the necessary documents to apply for the job.
"Sister, I'm out first, yeah!" pamit Zulfa's.
"Where are you going, Dek?"
"I'm looking for a job, brother. Doain me, hope you get a good job!"
"Yes, Deck. Brother's prayer must always be with you" said Zahra, stroking Zulfa's head gently.
"If so, I'll go first, brother! Assalamualaikum!"
"Waalaikumsalam, be careful!"
With online motorcycle taxis, Zulfa looks for every office or place that is opening job vacancies.
However, until noon he had not found a job. When he decided to take a break at a cafe, he ordered lemon tea to quench his thirst.
When he was about to sit down, suddenly there was someone who accidentally nudged him. And the drink Zulfa held about his clothes.
"Yes, Mas. Not okay, next time be careful!" reply Zulfa while wiping his clothes that were spilled with a tissue.
"As an apology, how about I buy you a meal and a drink here?"
"No need, ma'am," Zulfa refused.
"This once, Mother! Than I keep feeling guilty."
Zulfa thought for a moment before confirming the request of the person.
"Well, if not nicotine."
"It's not troublesome at all, ma'am. Ma'am wait a minute! Let me order you to eat and drink."
The man walked over to the cafe waiter and ordered a meal and a drink. Finished ordering him back to Zulfa.
"Oh, yes we have not been acquaintances. My name is Dimas."
"I'm Zulfa."
"Where are you going or where are you going?" ask Dimas.
"I was looking for a job, Mom. It's been around, but it hasn't been met yet."
"If you may know, what graduate are you?"
"I graduated D3 office administration."
"Well, what a coincidence! My boss is looking for a private secretary, maybe you'll propose. Who knows if it's acceptable."
"Byeh, Mas!" zulfa said with passion.
"All right, you take my business card. If you have reached the company, you can show this business card to the receptionist," said Dimas gave his business card.
"Good, Mas. Thank you for helping me."
"Together."
Not long after the order came, they enjoyed food and drinks with a little chat interspersed.

"How, Dim?" ask Dirga.
"The mission succeeded, sir. You just have to wait for tomorrow morning."
"Good!"
Yeah, actually Zulfa's meeting with Dimas was Dirga's plan. Because Dirga got information from Marco if Zulfa was looking for a job.
And he seemed to get the jackpot, until the idea came up earlier so that Zulfa was not suspicious.
He did not have to bother waiting for information about Zulfa because he would meet every day. That way, he could be freer to make Zulfa his.

Meanwhile, at her house, Zulfa rushed to find her brother.
"Sister!" call Zulfa.
"Yes, Deck."
"I met a nice guy who wanted to help me find a job. He gave me his business card so I could meet in person."
"Can't you?"
Zulfa told me what happened this afternoon. Zahra listened carefully to his sister's story.
"Alhamdulillah, if so! Apparently, there are still good people who want to help you. Hope you're actually accepted to work there!"
"Aamiin's."
