Dreams of a Poor Girl

Chapter 39

After the conversation between Zulfa and Dirga, Dirga now began to plan something. While Zulfa has returned to his work.

As it was about to start working, Zulfa's phone vibrated the sign of an incoming message. He opened the message and read it.

Fa, tomorrow your schedule for control. Don't forget! Before you go home, get permission for a day off tomorrow. That's how the message turned out from Iwan.

I don't think I need control anymore. I'm tired every 2 weeks of having to control, but there is absolutely no visible change Zulfa replied.

You, must be healed. Don't give up, Fa! As long as we are willing to try and God bless our efforts, do not rule out the possibility that you can be healed.

Zulfa immediately put down his phone without replying to a message from Iwan. His heart began to waver, either continuing or giving up. Zulfa felt that he could not recover from his illness.

Zulfa could only go through it all, if God still wanted him to live a long life, then he would be healed. However, on the contrary, if God wills otherwise, he can only accept with grace.

At 4 pm, Dirga had tidied up his desk and then prepared to go home. When he opened the door of the room, the first sight he saw was a dreamy Zulfa.

"Fa!" call Dirga.

"Eh, yes sir. Can I help you?"

"Why do you dream? Is there a problem?"

"Nothing, sir. Just miss my sister."

"Where is your brother going?"

"There's a house, sir."

"If you're home, why would you prefer to live alone?"

"I want to be independent, sir. I don't have to live forever to burden my family."

"Then we meet your brother!" said Dirga made Zulfa immediately stunned.

"For what, sir?"

"Apply you formally in front of your family" Dirga explained.

"Sorry, Sir. I can't yet!" reject Zulfa.

"Why? Do you still not believe that I truly love you and accept you as you are?"

"Bu-not that, sir. I'm not ready to meet my sister."

"What problem are you having? Why do you seem to be avoiding your family?" dirga.

Zulfa was silent, confused as to what he should explain. All he had on his mind right now was not wanting to meet anyone, in such a heartbreaking condition.

Dirga stared fixedly at Zulfa's face, he knew what Zulfa was feeling. Rela stay away from his family, so that there are no problems that can drop family pride. Although, it was not entirely a mistake that he made.

"No, Sir. I don't shy away, but I just don't want to make my sister sad after seeing my situation" Zulfa said.

"When are you ready?" dirga asked, but only answered the headband by Zulfa.

"Then let me meet your brother myself" suggested Dirga.

"Don't, Sir!" reject Zulfa.

"Love me time to think, at least until tomorrow" Zulfa said.

"Well, tomorrow afternoon you should have answered!"

"Yes, sir."

......................

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zulfa had just finished making the rawon for Iwan. He deliberately made rawon because it was one of Iwan's favorite foods. Zulfa rushed to take a shower because since coming home from the office he had not cleaned himself, even cooking was still wearing his work clothes.

Tok tok tok tok

"Assynnya!"

"Wa'alaikumsalam, one minute!" sahut Zulfa then opened the door.

"Bak Anis!" zulfa cried when the door was open.

"About something else, a long time ago," protested Iwan who had been ignored by Zulfa.

"Eh, there's Mas Iwan too. Sorry, Mas. I didn't know that Mas Iwan was here" Zulfa said after taking off his arms.

"already, just think of me as the wind" said Iwan with a face made sad.

"Go in, yuk! Let's have a better conversation" Zulfa asked and entered the house.

Zulfa invited Iwan and Anis to sit in the living room.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am. The house is a bit messy."

"It's okay, Fa."

"I'll stay a while! You know, I haven't had a bath yet" said Zulfa then rushed to pick up a change of clothes in the room.

Then Zulfa went straight to the bathroom, finished bathing Zulfa immediately made a drink for Iwan and Anis.

"Please drink, Mas, Ma'am!" zulfa said after putting the cup containing the tea.

"Mas!" call Zulfa.

"Yes" Iwan replied.

"I-I want to see big brother, I guess brother is still angry or not, huh?"

Iwan and Anis look at each other, they think whether Zulfa will reveal his condition.

"Why ask that?"

"I'm just worried that you won't see me again."

"He must have missed you, Fa. Want to be angry whatever your brother, he still loves you because you are the only treasure he has," said Iwan.

"What Mas Iwan said was true, Fa. Even if your sister still does not want to meet you, there are still us who are always there for you. You don't need to worry, you can ask Mas Iwan if you want to meet your brother," added Anis.

"Yes, Mommy."

......................

The next day, Zulfa was already struggling in front of his computer screen. He didn't realize his nose was bleeding.

For a long time his head began to hurt, this happened because Zulfa was not taking the drug that he should consume every day.

Zulfa tried to get out of her seat, she wanted to go to the toilet so no one would know she was holding back pain. However, just a few steps he heard someone calling his name, until everything turned dark and he was unconscious.

***

At a hospital, Zulfa began to blink to adjust the light entering the retina of his eye.

"You're sober?" said Dirga.

"Where am I?" lirih Zulfa's.

"You were in the hospital, you passed out in the office."

Zulfa recalled that he had wanted to go to the toilet, but someone called him after he fainted.

"We went abroad, yes!" bargain Dirga.

"No, Sir. Let everything be like this, you do not need to waste time and money just to bring me treatment.

I have sincerely lived all this, whatever the future results I am ready to be born inward," said Zulfa with a blank look.

"Then allow me to marry you. Because only in this way can I keep an eye on you at all times."

"Are you sure? Won't you regret it someday?"

"This is my decision, whatever the consequences I have sincerely accepted," said Dirga then gently grasped Zulfa's hand.

"Trust me, Fa! I will always be there when you need me, I will always be with you when you are difficult or happy."

"Thank you, sir. Thank you for your sincerity and concern all this time. Sorry if later I'll just trouble you."
