Love Zahra

my parents (part 2)

the atmosphere was now silent for a while, as Ningsih looked at Zahra full of question marks, trembling he put down the porridge he had bribed Bayu at his spell, he looked at Zahra and a child in his sling. Bayu also fell silent as to what possessed him like a statue of doing nothing, just silence and look at Zahra who just came as if he still did not believe.

"Zahra?" asked Ningsih to reassure her.

"Zahraaa!!, o god, son," Ningsih immediately half-cried and ran towards Zahra, hugging Zahra tightly without caring for others or Azan, who was being carried by Zahra, he cried as if, immediately Ningsih sat down, feeling his legs so limp and powerful, as if his energy was drained. At once Zahra also sat down to embrace Ningsih, he had missed the figure of a beloved mother, longing for the moment when together telling stories together and cooking together, what Zahra misses most is sleeping on Ningsih's lap while telling her a million stories that day.

On the other hand Bayu throw away face hiding tears that have not been restrained in his eyes, honestly he really misses the only princess of his puppet, just that he was unable to express it, he was not able to express it, his courage is still too small to say, "dad misses you son."

" is this my grandson, son,?" tanya Ningsih showed a happy smile that welcomed the arrival of Zahra and her grandchildren

"iya ma'am," nodded Zahra softly

"here let the grandmother hold dear, "Ningsih grabbed the azan and held her. While Zahra walked slowly closer to Bayu but Bayu still did not turn his head, he was embarrassed even though only to stare at the face of his daughter.

"dad," softly heard Zahra's voice calling Bayu Zahra who was now sitting on the edge of the mattress where Bayu was lying down and he held Bayu's hand, feeling sad and full of guilt, who was now sitting on the edge of the mattress where Bayu was lying down, he rubbed his tears slowly which had begun to fall from his eyes.

" Dad is now Iusan huh?, Zahra misses father, Zahra is now living well, even though Zahra is not married but now is going to marry well, Zahra will be the daughter-in-law of someone honorable well, Zahra will be the daughter-in-law of someone well, Zahra is great right?," Zahra spoke gently withstanding sobs, she gently massaged Bayu's legs, and kissed Bayu's feet.

"dad, Zahra is here to ask for my blessing, Zahra wishes you and my mom would bless us, because without your blessing all of you are meaningless, Zahra would also like to apologize to Dad and mom, during this time Zahra has been wrong on father and mother, forgive Zahra yes father." Bayu was still silent not wanting to weigh or look at Zahra.

"well maybe Zahra can only say that sorry for disappointing me, ah haha, thanks dad for everything," Zahra who felt Bayu still had not received his presence rushed to stand up to want to stay away because Bayu did not turn his head at all.

" boy?, forgive dad," Bayu held Zahra's hand.Their eyes met, looking longing in between.

"Dad," Zahra hugged Bayu, the sound of breaking cries of the two filled the room. Tini, Yeni and everyone who witnessed including Ningsih were moved and chose to leave the room, giving Zahra and Bayu time to talk together, letting out all their hearts.

"father is sorry son, all this time father educated you poorly, " said Bayu

" no dad, I'm not wrong, Zahra is too scared and not good at looking after herself,"

" let's go, son, I just want you to be okay, and please forgive me for not being there when you're hard,"

"ayahh, "bluffy Zahra did not hold back the crying, Ningsih entered the room while holding Azan.

"does your future husband know about your son?" asked Ningsih

" yes, mom, they know,"

" does he know how you got this kid?,"

" they never asked mom and if my mother-in-law she seemed to know mom, but I did intend to tell my future husband too, at the right time, "

Zahra looked at Ningsih and Bayu in turn.

" dad you trust Zahra, do you,?" asked Zahra expectantly.

" dad believes son, it's been enough all this time I doubted you, uhuk uhuk," Bayu replied while coughing, because of his condition at the time. Ningsih smiled hearing her husband.

now that the families of both parties are talking about marriage, Bayu who is in a weak condition chooses to rest and trust the decision on his wife.

" well as Ningsih's mother wanted, but in my town I'll have another wedding, o' permakluman ma'am, I have many relatives, "

" oh yes buk Tari I understand, but sorry if at that time I and mas Bayu could not attend,"

" yeah buk Ningsih, I will help buk Ningsih with the care of Mr. Bayu, if the mother deigns that pak Bayu treated abroad who knows can speed up recovery,"

" it's okay buk, I believe in the same god, health only from the god of medicine is only an intermediary, after all, Bayu mas also want to be closer to the city of his birth only,"

"alright if so, if there is anything please contact me yes ma'am," Pinta Tari because she also felt worried

"well mom,"

the conversation passed plan after plan agreed.Zahra is now sitting with his two friends, talking small talk with fellow friends.

" thank God, ra is finally going well" elus yeni on Zahra's shoulder.

" yes, thank God, yes" continued tini.

"mmmh thank God, we must thank him" Zahra said.

"what do you want your wedding to be like, ra," curious Tini.

" well you know, I only dreamed of a simple marriage, without the need for modern music just hadroh, and there are tilawah later, he said, thanksgiving and well if I have to dress up I hope and and the usual,"

"kalo dowry?," Yeni now chose to ask a deeper question.

"i dreamed of being given surrah arrahman and seven thousand rupiah, or at least the first ten verses of surrah al kahfi, but if not able I just want a set of prayer tools, "

"mmmmm Zahra was moved," Yeni now hugged Zahra.

"mmm if I ask for a dowry that is a lot of big big price," continued tini.

"money can be sought with tin, and yes nothing is more precious or nothing can match the value of something more than a set of instruments of prayer and the word of God, if the treasure I do not want him to give just for marrying me, but for thanking my parents, explained Zahra at length.

"but not as good as men, who give a lot of dowry," asked tini curiously..

" mm right, dear, and as good as women who relieve dowry, actually I'm not lightening dowry even more expensive because dowry with a lot of money is usually tin,"

they were deeply absorbed in the explanation of Zahra feeling touched, but yeni was silent to obey when he saw the man in front of him now approaching them and seemed to want to talk to Zahra.

"ra, that," pointed yeni at the man in front of her.

" mmh mas Aria, uh lord Aria, uh mas," hmmh clumsy Zahra.
