Dreams of a Poor Girl
Chapter 5
Now that Zahra had arrived at the market, he went straight to the vegetable shop first.
"Mom, I want to buy 1 kg of carrots, 1 kg of cabbage with 5 thousand leaves" said Zahra.
"Yes, Neng. For a moment, I weigh first," said the seller then weighing carrots and cabbage.
"This, Neng! It's all 23 grand." The seller handed over Zahra's groceries, Zahra took 25 thousand to pay for his groceries.
"Take it back, ma'am," said Zahra and put her groceries in the tote bag she was carrying.
"Thank you, Neng," said the seller with a friendly smile.
"Together."
Zahra continued her shopping, she then turned to the banana seller. After buying a banana he now bought a side dish to eat later.
On the way home from the market, suddenly there was someone who stopped Zahra.
"Heh, Zahra! What pellets do you wear that Amir's parents want to marry you just like Amir?"
"What do you mean by that? I didn't do anything as bad as you think."
"Here, don't be your hypocrite! Any rich man who wants his son to marry a poor girl like you."
"Whatever, what's your assessment of me. For sure I didn't do anything weird like your accusation."
After saying that Zahra immediately left the person who stopped her journey. Ratna is one of the children of a rich man in the village where Zahra lives.
The girl really hated Zahra because many men wanted Zahra and wanted to be Zahra's husband.

In the evening, Zahra finished eating and invited Zulfa to chat in front.
"What's up, brother?" ask Zulfa when he's sitting next to Zahra.
"So don't want to say something, you're horrified until Big Brother is done! You can give me an opinion."
"Yes, Brother."
Zahra began to explain about his chat with Amir before going to the market. Zulfa listened carefully to her brother's explanation.
"So, what do you think?" ask Zahra after she finishes explaining.
"None of them is repotted. As long as you are still in school, you remain the responsibility of Brother. When you can work and live independently, you can do whatever you want while it is still natural.
Hope Brother only wants to see you can succeed someday. Prove to everyone that you can achieve what is your dream," continued Zahra while holding gently Zulfa's hand.
"Yes, Brother. I will try to realize Brother's wishes," said Zulfa and hugged his brother's body.
"What do you think now?" zahra asked while stroking her sister's head.
"As for Brother, if Brother wants to get married now is okay."
"Yes, later let Brother talk to Mas Amir if the marriage after you finish the exam," said Zahra.

"Assynnya!" amir.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, Mas Amir. Please, in!" bring Zulfa.
"Are you not there?"
"There, Mas. I'll call you first!" Zulfa went to the kitchen to call Zulfa and make tea for Amir.
"Mas Amir, has it been since?" greet Zahra.
"Just now, just want to nganter cake from mom," said Amir then give a box containing the cake.
"Thank you, Mom. So ngerepotin."
"It's okay."
Soon Zulfa came and put warm tea on the table for Amir. "Please, drink first! Sorry for the tea."
"This is enough, Fa. Thanks, yes," replied Amir kindly.
"Oh yes, Mumpung Mas Amir here I want to talk to you," interrupted Zahra.
"What by the way?"
"On our marriage, we should marry after Zulfa finishes the exam" Zahra said.
"Oh, that means Zulfa wants us to stay together?" ask Amir to Zulfa. "Yes, Mas. But if I can be independent and have a job, I want to live alone" replied Zulfa.
"If that is your will, we can only pray that what you dream can be realized" Amir hoped, and then said Zahra and Zulfa.
