High School, But Married

Episode 32

Time moves so fast, day turns night, night turns week and even month. Now, the age of the marriage of the two will enter the sixth month.

Zulfikar is busy with campus work. Besides being busy, he was also a City level stressor. After marriage, Papa Kurniawan and Mama Aira did not send him money. The next two weeks of the home contract have expired. There was no way he could have invited Azahra to stay in Indekos.

"Yes I didn't want Azahra living in Maros. The distance from school to home is far away. From home to campus is also far away"

"Azahra has been my responsibility, living in Maros I still have to support him"

"But where do I take the money? Fifteen and a half year lease. I don't have that kind of money"

Sprawled on a fur carpet that lay in the living room, Zulfikar looked up at the ceiling while thinking about the contract that his contract period would end. Zulfikar thought his mother had rented the contract he and Azahra had been in for a year, in fact, for only half a year.

"Assalamualaikum" Azahra said a greeting before he entered the house. He just got home from school.

Zulfikar, who was stressed by the City level, did not hear the greeting spoken. The man was still thinking hard about the contract period.

"Yetoooo!!" shouted Zulfikar immediately pulled away until he changed position. "Astaghfirulah ... So that's you? I suppose demons. Why not say it wrong!" ketus Zulfikar held his chest. His heart beat sounded fast.

"Sorry, Brother. I said hello but I didn't hear" Azahra explained.

"So so it seems. I'm the one who didn't hear. Yeah, change your clothes, eat and meet me. I wait here" said Zulfikar.

Azahra nodded then to the room changing clothes. Then go to the kitchen to eat. After eating, Azahra met Zulfikar who had been waiting for her on the fur carpet.

"Sir, what's wrong?" tanya Azahra chose to sit on the carpet with Zulfikar. Zulfikar changed position, he who had been staring at the television, turned to look at Azahra.

"Dek, so gini. This house is a contract house. And Mama contracted this house for us. I think Mama signed him for a year, in fact only up to half a year" Zulfikar explained.

"Well, my money's not enough to rent this contract anymore. So___" Zul hesitated to continue.

"So what, brother?" ask Azahra.

"Are you thinking we're staying at Papa's house or are we looking for an index?" zul asked.

"Why don't we live where?" ask Azahra.

Zulfikar let out a rough sigh. That's not the answer he wants to hear. He who had been sitting back on the carpet with Azahra's thigh. "I want it in Indekos. If you want, we can find a broad and air-conditioned index" he explained.

"Yes, we're looking for indekos. Oh yes, on the front there is indekos loh Kak. The three floors. I know because of one of my classmates he lives there. How's it? We go check the boarding room?" Azahra looked at Zulfikar who kept sniffing his thighs.

"Tool tofu!" ketus Azahras.

Zulfikar. He stopped his mischievous activities and refocused on the index. "Yes, we'll go see tonight"

Evening arrived, Azahra and Zulfikar were in Pondok AQILA, the cottage of sons and daughters. Talk to the owner of the cottage, then go check the room on the first floor. The owner of the AQILA cottage opened one room unit. In it consists of a bathroom, kitchen, one room is not too spacious and the other is quite spacious. In addition, inside is also provided two-body springbed, fan and two-door cabinets and shoe shelves.

"Good yes, Brother" said Azahra amazed.

"Yes, just here" Azahra replied in agreement.

The contract expires tomorrow. Making Azahra and Zulfikar move goods to Pondok AQILA. Where they were assisted by Haikal, Asna also Assagaf and Qonita. And now, all the necessary items have been neatly arranged in their respective places.

"Zul, Azahra, we go home first" said Assagaf who had to go home because the mother who looked after her little sister had a sudden affair.

"Yes, Gaf. Thank you so much for helping us" said Zulfikar.

"We also want to go home, Brother" Haikal chimed. "Asna and I have to go to Gea's house" he added.

"Yes, let's go home together" Qonita chimed in.

Azahra and Zulfikar drew smiles. "Thank you for helping us pick up the goods. Come here again sometime, we eat together" said Zulfikar.

"God willing" replied Qonita.

Assagaf, Asna, Haikal and Qonita exit the boarding room together. Followed by Azahra and Zulfikar who drove only up to the parking lot.

"Be careful" Azahra waved his hand.

After their deaths, Azahra and Zulfikar returned to their rooms. Wrestling the body while staring at the ceiling of the room, without being asked clear circles dripping from both corners of Zulfikar's eyes.

"Zahra, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have invited you to live in a narrow place like this" Zul said without looking at Azahra. In his heart he regretted his stupidity first. His efforts and hard work, as well as his sincere love are in fact utilized.

Azahra turned his head, finding Zul wiping away the clear droplets he had visited. "Why is my sister crying?" tanya Azahra frowned.

"No, I'm not crying" Zulfikar said.

"Sir Zul, as Brother said before. We're friends, we're friends, we're brothers, we're sisters. Whatever happens, we'll get through it together. This place is not narrow. Look, the bathroom is big, the washing machine can fit inside. There is a kitchen, there is a room that can be used as a living room. Just look, the carpet that stretches there, can accommodate several people"

Zulfikar tilted his body, hugging Azahra on his back. "Did Faisal call you often?" ask Zulfikar.

Azahra fell silent, why should Faisal be discussed. Should Azahra tell Zulfiqar about Faisal's wedding that was held yesterday in Palu? In fact, Faisal's absence during the dinner together at Kontrakan, Faisal to Palu to meet the family invitation which discusses the matchmaking of Faisal and Ayu Sifitri, the son of Faisal's father's colleagues.

Although Faisal agreed, his heart was still for Azahra. Until when Azahra had a headache a few months ago, he left the drug to Haikal who was none other than his employees. Until now, the man's love is still for Azahra even though he had held a wedding yesterday.

"He often gave me news. Even last night he sent me a message. But I didn't reply. It is not good to have a message with someone's husband. I don't want to be told by the actor. Mending I'm a widow for life rather than having to snatch people's husbands" Azahra said.

Upon learning that Faisal was about to marry by his parents' choice, Azahra was saddened to tears without Zulfikar's knowledge. After a week of contemplating a love that should not exist, Azahra began to cheer up again. And now, he'll just focus on Zulfikar. Create fond memories with him, because soon, he will be widowed.
