Flowers from Heaven II

Eps. 81

Arka had left for the office after breakfast. Nisa who is now back on the move, has also gone to the Panti delivered by a driver and will be picked up in the afternoon.

Zahra quickly finished her homework, assisted by Ijah.

After finishing the table, Zahra went into her room, and was busy with her cell phone.

Zahra contacted Abinya, who she believed must have been on campus.

"Assalamu'alaikum Abi." said Zahra politely

"Goddessalam ndoo.. Tumben called early in the morning" replied Azam who had just arrived at the campus and had just finished parking his car

"It's okay Abi, where is Abi?" asked Zahra first for fear that her father was still at home

"Abi's on campus, why? You want to talk to Mama, right?" asked Azam

"Oh yes.. No Abi, Zahra wants to take Abi to lunch together, Zahra wants to talk alone with Abi." said Zahra actually with a feeling of dagdigdug not careless

Azam was silent for a moment, his feelings were mixed, there was an overwhelming sense of anxiety in his heart.

"What's not with Arka too?" tanya Azam was actually confused

"No Abi.. Just the two of us.. Zahra has permission on Mas Arka. Zahra is waiting for Abi at the ILY Restaurant. Wassalamu'alaikum Abi" said Zahra at length and then disconnected the phone

Zahra gathered the strength of her heart to speak to her Abinya, all this time Zahra had never spoken that boldly to her Abinya, if there was something she more often spoke first to Mama, Mama, this time it was very different.

Zahra paced out in front of her bedroom window and faced out, the occasional morning air greeting her facial skin.

"I have to be brave.. Yes should.. For the good of everyone." said Zahra softly to herself and exhaled heavily.

At 12 noon, Zahra quickly took abuh for Dzuhur prayer before going to lunch with Abinya. After the prayer, Zahra changed clothes, after feeling ready Zahra immediately entered the car because the driver was waiting.

On the way Zahra informed her husband by sending a short message WA.

"Mas, I went to see Abi at the ILY Restaurant." Zahra said

"Dear, be careful.. Do not forget to take care of yourself, and keep his words yaa" replied Arka in a short message WA

Arriving at the restaurant, Zahra saw Abinya's car which had also just entered the restaurant's parking lot. Surely Zahra went down first because there was no need to drive a car, he was lowered at the front entrance by the driver, then his car was parked by the driver. While Azam is still busy tidying up his car parking position. Zahra went in first to look for an empty table.

Azam walked slowly into the restaurant, with steady footsteps. His feelings dagdigdug not because, he was afraid that his son would talk about his words to Nisa at that time.

After entering the restaurant which was quite crowded due to lunchtime, Azam had a little trouble finding Zahra.

Zahra was impossible to shout because the atmosphere was crowded, waving hands was still invisible to Azam, Abinya. Zahra then sent a message from his WA.

"Zahra on table number 16." said Zahra in a short message

Azam who had opened the message went straight there, and saw his daughter was sitting there while looking at him.

"Have you waited a long time?" asked Azam with a smile on his face

"Not yet Abi." Zahra answered quickly and kissed the back of his hand

"Oh yes, Zahra has ordered food for us, because it will definitely be made very long" said Zahra

"It's okay, son.. Thank you" Azam replied with pleasure

"Thank you very much Ma'am." said Zahra kindly

Zahra and Azam then devoured the food that was in front of him greedily, because he was very hungry as well. Azam first spent the rice on his plate, now he is enjoying a cup of coffee.

"Oh yeah what about the wedding reception prep?" ask Azam to Zahra

"Alhamdulillah is 100% ready, Abi.. Later clothes and other preparations for Abi, Mama and Ahsan will be sent 3 days before the day H huh." replied Zahra after gulping orange juice

"Alhamdulillah if that is so." said Azam with a feeling of pleasure

"Abi, Zahra wants to have a serious conversation with Abi." said Zahra with a sudden thumping feeling

"Just talk dear." replied the real Azam also with a very pounding feeling

"Honestly, Abi still has feelings for Miss Annisa? Abi hasn't forgotten about it yet, has she?" zahra said her eyes were round, and tears were beginning to pool

Azam was silent, and his tongue fell. Sure enough, this is what his daughter will discuss.

"Please, bi.. Please don't destroy our family, please don't hurt Mama.. Mama loved Abi very sincerely." said Zahra without waiting for Azam's answer, a very heavy speech from his mouth

"I heard Abi's words to Mom at home" Zahra said, her voice shrinking

Azam was still silent, he digested all the words of his daughter. Surely his daughter heard his words at that time, surely his daughter-in-law too. Azam's mind is getting messy.

Azam and Zahra did not realize that someone was coming to them, but suddenly his steps stopped because he heard Zahra's words, and look at Zahra who began to shed tears and chose to be silent while hearing Zahra's conversation with Azam.

"Zahra knows, Miss Annisa did love Abi a long time ago, the woman who first made Abi fall in love, explained Miss Annisa educated like Abi, much different from Mama.. But please Bi, Mama has sacrificed a lot and gave up her life for us.. Do not hurt Mama" said Zahra at length, now her tears began to melt wet the black veil she was wearing

"I'm sorry Abi, son." said Azam with trembling lips

"Abi is forgetting everything.. Sorry for hurting your feelings." Azam continued with a soft touch on the hand of Zahra, his daughter.

"Please Abi can be ordinary, because Abi and Miss Annisa have become family because of my marriage and Mas Arka.. And will make us always full, do not make this family relationship uncomfortable ya bi.." said Zahra again at length while holding a hiccup with difficulty

Azam just nodded, assuring his daughter.

"I'm sorry Abi. please don't tell Mama.." Azam said by pleading with his daughter

"Zahra doesn't want Mama hurt, Bi.. Zahra came home, Assalamu'alaikum." said Zahra saying goodbye as she put money in her lunch bill, then kissed Azam's back and passed from his father's presence.

Zahra walked quickly away from the restaurant, and got back in her car. Zahra tried to wipe away her tears, wetting her tears with the tissue she took from her bag.

The driver who had noticed earlier made him ask.

"Mom Zahra okay?" ask the driver who's worried about Zahra

"No sir, it's okay.. Take me home yaa" replied Zahra kindly, then asked to be escorted home with a polite tone

Zahra's car was traveling at moderate speed and left the courtyard of the restaurant.

Azam, who felt a little better after his conversation with his daughter, walked out of the restaurant.

When going into the car, suddenly someone stopped his movement, the door of the car that had been opened was pushed closed again by the hand of someone who was behind Azam.

Azam turned to look at the person behind him. Azam was shocked to find out who was behind him.
