Dreams of a Poor Girl
Chapter 9
At 3pm Zulfa left for Bu Novi's house, on the way he muttered hopefully not to meet Bryan.
Arriving in front of Bu Novi's house, Zulfa immediately knocked on the door of the house.

"Assalamualaikum" said Zulfa saluted.
"Getishalight." Sound from the inside until the door is opened.

"Eh, Fafa. My order, huh?" ask Bu Novi when he opens the door.
"Yes, Mom. Here's the order!" answer Zulfa and then give the order Bu Novi.
"Thank you, yeah. Go in, yuk! I made you a drink," asked Ms. Novi.
"No need, Mom. I just go home to clean up at home" Zulfa subtly refused.
"Oh, yes, thank you, then."
"Together, Mom. Excuse me first, assalamualaikum."
"Getishalight."
Zulfa left Bu Novi's house, when going through Bryan's house, Zulfa suddenly stopped his steps when he saw Bryan who had just come out of the house.
Bryan who happened to be going futsal with his friend, he also saw the whereabouts of Zulfa, but considering Zulfa's remarks earlier Bryan stepped away without greeting or smiling at Zulfa.
While Zulfa was looking at Bryan's change in attitude, the corner of his heart instantly throbbed pain. His heart ached when Bryan was indifferent to him.
"Isn't this what you want, Fa? But why do you not feel willing?" zulfa then continued his journey.
Bryan who was walking towards the futsal place also felt what Zulfa was feeling.
"I'm sorry, Fa. Not that I have the heart, but I'm just following what you asked. Before I know what makes you like this, I will continue to be indifferent to you" Bryan murmured.
Arriving at the futsal venue, Bryan begins to join his friends. So he started to get a little distracted.
While Zulfa had just arrived home, she headed straight for her room to vanish the tightness in her chest.
"Why does it feel like this sick? O Allah, until when should I live full of insults, scorn and threats from others. Do I not deserve to live happily? Will I live like this forever?" With a bitter cry, Zulfa vented all the burdens she harbored herself.
Although on the outside he looks ordinary and is cheerful, but know that he also keeps a gaping wound at the bottom of his heart.
Wounds he never showed to anyone, including his brother. He is like a creature that can camouflage, when he is with others he will be cheerful, but when he himself is like a lifeless man.
Dissolved into endless sadness. Left by the father for good, the mother who he hoped could be a crutch in the spirit of his life instead decided to leave the house under the pretext of wanting to change fate.
Zahra, he's the only hope Zulfa has. It was only her brother that she could live hard until now.
I don't know what's going to happen in the future? Zulfa only wished that if God so desired, he wanted to make his brother happy. He will try to be a successful person in the future in order to uphold the dignity of the family.
Zulfa fell asleep from crying for too long.

The voice of the Adzan reverberated, at 4 pm Zulfa woke up to hear the sound of the Adhan.
"Oh Allah, why did he fall asleep? My sister will be home soon. I have to clean the house up quickly."
Zulfa then came out of his room, then he went to the kitchen to wash the equipment used to make fried dough.
Don't forget she boiled water to make her sister's tea. So that when Zahra has arrived home can immediately drink the warm tea that he prepared.
Finished washing the kitchen utensils, Zulfa concocted the tea as the water was already boiling. After that he began sweeping the house, ranging from the kitchen to the terrace.
After feeling all his work was done, Zulfa immediately rushed to take a bath because his body was already sweating.
"Assalamualaikum" said Zahra when entering the house and put her basket in the kitchen.
"Waalaikumsalam," replied Zulfa who had just finished bathing.
"Tumben you just took a shower, Dek?" ask Zahra and drink the tea that Zulfa had prepared.
"Hehehe, yes, Brother. Last time I got home from the anter order I took a break in the room, uh even overslept."
"It's a habit, thankfully, dear Brother," said Zahra while hugging his sister's body.
"But you have to dong, you just have me."
"Who said?"
"Oh yes forgot, it will be a moment again Mas Amir. Fafa will share Brother later," said Zulfa.
"You're still my sister's priority. Brother will always be there for Fafa, whenever Fafa needs it," replied Zahra while stroking his sister's head leaning on his shoulder.
"False, Brother. Fafa promises after success later Fafa will love anything you want as a form of my gratitude for the sacrifice of Brother all this time."
"Sister doesn't need anything. Seeing you become a successful person, Brother is happy, it means the struggle for you is not in vain," said Zahra then kissed Zulfa's forehead long enough.
"I love Brother" said Zulfa, sobbing.
"Sister loves you more" replied Zahra who also shed her tears.
Both of them embraced affectionately.
