High School, But Married
Episode 50's
Zulfikar snorted in annoyance when he heard the mother's silly question. Although annoyed, but miss it is still at the highest level. Zul slowly approached the mother. Her eyes returned to tears.
"Ma, it's me, Zulfikar, Mama's son. Mama still remembers me, right?"
Mama Aira's crying broke. The old woman hugged her son while carrying Baby Z. Kiss and then hug her again.
Azahra took her daughter from her husband's arms, making room for Zul to return the longing and affectionate embrace of her. Shortly after Azahra took her daughter, Zul began to return the arms of the mother. Her crying sounded broken.
"Where have you been all this time ... Why did you just come, why?!" mama Aira asked hysterically.
"Zul" Papa Kurniawan's heavy voice broke the arms of his son and wife. "K_kamu Zul, right? My kid?" tanya Papa Kurniawan.
Two years is not a short time. They even thought Zul was gone. Seeing Zul in the Shop, of course, made Mama Aira and Papa Kurniawan ensure their eyesight.
"Mr ..." Zul approached Papa Kurniawan and hugged him. "I'm Papa's son. It's me, Zulfikar. Papa remembers, right?" asked Zul, afraid that Papa was senile.
Papa Kurniawan returned the close embrace of the son. "Yes, Papa remembers. Alhamdulillah. Papa's happy you're alive" she said withholding tears. He cannot cry in front of his son-in-law or his son.
The store is closed today. Because Papa Kurniawan will also be the others to convene Zulfikar. Zulfikar sat in front of the television facing Papa Kurniawan, Papa Giman, Mama Aira, Mama Allice and Azahra.
"You're back here by yourself, right?" ask Papa Giman to investigate.
"Yes, Pa" Zul answered quickly.
"You didn't leave a new wife or child in Los Angeles did you?" ask Papa Giman again.
Zulfikar shook his head quickly. "No, Pa"
Papa Giman was also the other one breathing a sigh of relief. "Besan, it's your turn now" Papa Giman told Papa Kurniawan.
"Ehem!" Papa Kurniawan. "So where have you been all this time?" tanya Papa Kurniawan took over the question.
"I'm in Los Angeles, the residence of Hadi, Kulsum's husband" Zul replied in full.
Jem!! Kulsum, when the name was called, Mama Aira also Azahra glared sharply at Zul who immediately lowered her head after seeing that dislike gaze.
"So you've been living with Kulsum! You" Papa Kurniawan pointed at Zul with his index finger. "You're betraying again!" pekiknya.
Zulfikar shook his head quickly. "No, Pa. Papa misunderstood" explained Zul.
"Then what?" Mama Aira chimed. The woman was also no less angry with the others.
Zulfikar took a deep breath before starting the story. "But you have to promise, you won't hit me" he said before starting the story.
Taking a rough breath, the four adult humans nodded. Seeing that response, Zul was ready to start the story.
"So gini, just after me and my three friends were sitting in the Dining Restaurant, I accidentally met Hadi, Kulsum's husband"
"Don't you call Kulsum anymore" protested Mama Aira dislike.
"Ma, it's not good to hate people to the root of their roots" Zul reminded the mother.
Mama Air snorted in annoyance. "Continue the story, but do not mention the name of your ex" he warned. Zul took a deep breath.
The Flashback
Los Angeles. Dining Restaurant
"Not that Hadi" muttered Zul asking himself.
In front of the Eating Restaurant, Hadi single-handedly stepped inside. In fact, Hadi still knew Zul, so the man approached Zul and asked permission to join the same table.
"Mas been in Los Angeles a long time?" ask one of Zulfikar's friends, his name is Reno.
"Lumayan, almost two years" replied Hadi. Seeing that there was no food at the table, Hadi called the waiter and ordered some special menus at the Dining Restaurant.
Shortly after, the order is presented. They also started lunch together. After eating, Hadi took them to his house, Zul and his friend agreed.
Ten minutes more two-wheeled vehicles driven by Hadi will reach home. Suddenly, several cars slipped down the road causing an accident. Two people in the car died on the spot while Hadi and Zul were thrown away.
An ambulance arrived at the scene, as did the police. Severely injured victims were rushed to hospital, as were those who died on the spot.
Zulfikar's three friends followed the ambulance. Not long after, they arrived at the Hospital Cured. The three wanted to contact the Zulfikar family but they had no contact with the Zulfikar family. Not even friends on social media.
Days passed, Zul was able to return home. Since Zul only lives alone, Hadi also invites Zul to live with his family.
"Zul, don't you want to know your family? Zahras? I'm sure they must be worried about you" said Kulsum, who fed Garetta.
"I'd better not. Because you also do not want to go home as long as it has not healed. I'm sure, Zahra won't take you. Believe me" said Hadi who knew Zul would continue the study.
"I think so too. Mama and Papa will pick me up if they know my condition now. Moreover Azahra, he will be sad and will ask me to come home" said Zul.
"Yes, tomorrow you and Hadi to Australia, you must seek treatment, so that it will heal quickly" Kulsum said.
"No need, Kul. Most of the money I have now for the cost of a day" said Zul refused to seek treatment. After all, the doctor is likely for Zul to be able to walk.
"For the cost let me take responsibility. Let's just say I paid my debt to you" Hadi said, recalling Zul's struggle to meet Kulsum's needs while they were together.
Zul refuses, but Hadi also never gives up in persuading. Until Zul agrees. A month in Australia, Zul and Hadi return to Los Angeles. With the help of a wheelchair, as well as the help of Kulsum, Zulfikar returned actively to campus.
Until one day Zul had a dream. In her dream, she saw Azahra crying with a baby in her cradle. The tiny baby whimper also moans Azahra, making Zul try to walk.
Morning at 6. Zulfikar woke up remembering his dream. "O Allah, may Azahra be well there" Zul prayed.
Zul who began to feel uncomfortable depending on the wheelchair, at that time he tried to stand up. At first he fell, then got up again. Almost a month he tried, finally reaping beautiful results.
The Flashback
Indonesia, Makassar
Mama Aira became mellow when she heard the kindness of the Kulsum family. The ingrained hatred seemed to disappear in an instant.
Hearing Zulfikar's story, Papa Kurniawan was a little sad. Hany little, at least not justify the decision of his son.
"Next time, never make such a decision. No one knows when death will come. Look, you do not know that Grandma has died" said Papa Kurniawan.
It was as if helpless. He who planned to surprise his extended family, had to swallow a heart-wrenching reality.
NOTE: The name of the Restaurant and the Name of our Hospital make it funny, let me not open the geogle again. Network is not good 😁
