Islam Friends Sepiku

Chapter 54

Zahra, with a dusty pink robe, of course, with a matching hijab and niqab stepped into the building that will be the venue for the wedding of her twin brother with her best friend.

Hearing the sound of shoes from the entrance, Samuel who was busy arranging all the reflex preparations turned around and how amazed he found the figure of an angel who transformed as a creature of the earth.

Being stared at unblinkingly by Samuel made Zahra feel awkward.

"Ekhmmm, good morning Sam. I'm here to help."

Zahra's voice broke Samuel's daydream.

"Oh yes, I will be greatly helped by your presence here. Because you're the brother and best friend of the bride-to-be, so you must be very understanding of their tastes."

Both were busy in preparation. Until the dzuhur adzan reverberated, Zahra pamit to Mushola near the building.

"I went to Musholah first."

"OKs. I'll order lunch, after prayer you can eat in the upper room, there's no one."

Samuel certainly already understood that when eating Zahra did not want to be seen by those who were not mahramnya.

"Thank you."

Zahra smiled then stepped out, leaving Samuel glued there.

"Can that smile always be offered to me Ra?" Inner Samuel.

...

Until the afternoon Samuel and Zahra were still busy in preparing a magnificent feast for the Sultan and Melati.

"Maa Shaa Allah. It's so beautiful Sam. Brother and Melati will definitely be very happy. Thank you very much."

Zahra looked around the finished building decorated in such a beautiful way. The fusion of Sultan and Melati tastes. The girl admired Samuel's performance.

"I can prepare something more beautiful than this if you want to be my patron." Samuel muttered slightly caught by Zahra's sense of hearing.

Zahra reflexively looked at Samuel, the man's shahdu eyes looking teary. Making Zahra again and again feel so guilty for breaking the heart of a man as good as Samuel.

But what power, fate did not side with the poor man by making him fall in love with a woman of different religion with him.

"Astagfirullah," Zahra's inner self, for she had been looking at the face of a man who was not her mahram.

The two looked at each other with their own thoughts. Until the faster Zahra gained consciousness, it broke Samuel's daydreams that were now thinking of either.

"Emmm, it's afternoon. I have to go home."

Zahra, without waiting for Samuel to respond, took his bag and left.

"May I take you?" Samuel asked who made Zahra stop and turned to him.

"Please don't refuse, before I asked Kak Sultan for permission and he allowed."

Samuel showed his message this afternoon with the Sultan to Zahra, afraid that the girl thought he was bragging.

The Sultan knew that Zahra had been helping Samuel prepare for his wedding. And of course because of going home to the afternoon, the Sultan who found Samuel's request to take Zahra home felt it was a good idea. Because he himself could not pick up his sister because he was with Melati to see the wedding clothes.

The Sultan believed Samuel was a good man. The night's events were only limited to the error of a man when the devil tried to mislead him. And now, the Sultan believed, Samuel would not be caliph a second time.
