Not having the heart to add to Samuel's disappointment, Zahra finally agreed to take him home. After all, his sister had already given permission.
Don't ask how happy Samuel was just for getting his girlfriend home.
But along the way Samuel even felt clumsy sitting side by side with Zahra in the car.
There was much Samuel wanted to say, but fear made Zahra uncomfortable. Samuel finally kept quiet.
"How are your mom and dad?"
Zahra who noticed Samuel's clumsiness chose to start speaking up so that the atmosphere was not too awkward.
"Ah, emm they're good. In fact they are the ones who helped me choose the best wedding organizer in the city. But they can't intervene directly and rely on me because the company can't be empty."
Samuel who was thinking hard how to start a conversation with Zahra was surprised when Zahra asked him. Fortunately, he was quick to respond.
"Oh, um sorry for making you leave the company. Say sorry to Uncle Hamdan because at his age he has to rest he still has to take care of the company these days in your place. And my thanks to him for participating in the preparation for the happy day, Sultan."
Zahra said sincerely. Actually there was a bad taste in his heart because he felt that he had given his brother's marriage to Samuel and his family. However, he knew it was all Samuel's desire to be calmer and guilt-free.
"I'm sorry? that word should be said by our family. Because of our mistakes, you should go to..."
"Don't remember anything that's gone by. It'll just lock us in the dark." Selah Zahra before Samuel finished his words which he already knew what the end was.
Honestly, Samuel still can't forget all the past events as easily as a word.
Although Zahra and the Sultan have forgiven him sincerely. However, Samuel is still not able to release the incident that has been bothering him for a dozen years.
However, even so. Samuel nodded in response to Zahra's words just now.
"Yes!"
It was the only word that accompanied the nod of the head of the man driving it.
The rest of the time during the journey, the two different people of that belief simply accompanied him with silence.
...
A few minutes later. Samuel's car stopped in front of Gibran's house. The house where the Sultan grew up. And now Zahra's home too.
"Don't want to go down?" zahra asked, as she herself got out of the car.
However, it seems that the man sitting in the steering wheel did not hear it.
It was clear from the man's empty sight.
"Sam?" call Zahra slightly raise her voice. Because Samuel was daydreaming.
"Emm yes. You said something?" ask Samuel clumsily. Since then, he has kept his thoughts on his unfortunate destiny. Falling in love with a woman who looks close but in fact feels so far away for her to reach.
"You didn't go in first?" ask Zahra.
"Emm I think I'll just go home. Greetings to the house" said Samuel.
"Oh, yeah. Thank ye. Be careful on the road."
Zahra's smile that accompanied his speech added to the sense that Samuel had been trying to resist, now it was growing.
Actually, what distance was between her and the girl in front of her?
If belief? The man was willing to abandon his faith.
But, in fact for Zahra personally. Leaving the belief and moving to another belief is not as instantaneous as leaving the cost and then moving to a new boarding house.
Zahra did not want to attract someone into her religion just for the reason of love for her.
More than that. Zahra will be happy if someone wants to embrace Islam because they feel confident and believe in all the teachings of Islam.
It would be a lie if he said he no longer loved and expected Samuel. But the girl realized. If there is love more important than love to fellow servants. His Robb.
