Love Zainab

Nightly

The silence of the night befriends the sounds of the nocturnal animals. Joseph was still cool with the book in his hand. To him that voice was his night friend. If he starts to feel tired, he prefers to eliminate it by reading a book. I don't know how many books he has, almost 2 weeks he bought them at the bookstore. Until his bookshelf no longer fit to hold.

He planned to create a special room for the library. Which will later be useful for anyone, including his sister Rere who also likes to read.

"Suf, I miss the pilgrimage to Father's meal." Ms. Tina expressed her wish. These days she always dreamed of her husband. His heart felt a deep longing. Ever since her husband left, her days have been so lonely. Only the children have kept him alive to this day.

"God willing, this Sunday we visit the tomb of the Father. In conjunction with Ustadz Harun." Joseph closed the book and put it on the table. She was perfumed by her mother's feelings, who was in longing. He didn't want to see her sad. For him the smile that adorns the face of the mother is happiness for him.

"Mother misses our old home. Can we stop by?."

"Of course, Mom. Surely Rere will be happy too." Joseph obeyed his mother's request.

A smile was imprinted on Bu Tina's lips. It's been 2 years, never been to where he used to live. There are so many memories there. Memories that will never disappear, memories that will always be embedded in the heart.

"Oh yes, doesn't that mean you will also meet the girl that Ustadz Aaron will introduce?." Suddenly he remembered something.

"really. That way I can also see how the chassis is. I can express my opinion, whether or not she becomes Joseph's wife."

"Mom became more and more impatient, wanting to see the look of the girl, Suf. May she be the wife you've been looking for. Aye, right?."

"God willing. Joseph also hoped so."

"Yes, I went to my room first." Still with a glowing face.

Joseph laid his body on the bed. He was also very curious about who the girl he would meet. Zainab's shadow seemed to disappear for a moment in her mind. Hopefully this is a new story that he will write in the future with his soulmate.

Although it is undeniable, if Zainab is one of the women she wants. Joseph had to get rid of his feelings, maybe he could get them, as long as he tried harder to convince Zainab's father. However, apparently he did not want to bother fighting for Zainab's love.

Zainab felt herself getting better, going in and out of the bathroom not as often as before. He can breathe a lot and can breathe. His stomach had stopped twisting as well. She was grateful she didn't have to go to the doctor. He was so scared of needles.

Zainab looked at her food in the tray, and she had not touched it since. Just water and water. Zainab slowly ate it, she needed a supply of energy to recover her energy.

Not yet finished the rice he chewed, Zainab remembered Sofia again. He immediately picked up his phone on the nightstand. When opening the call, there were 10 missed calls from Sofia. Zainab tried to contact him, but the operator said that the number he was going to was inactive. Angry, is he? It would not be Sofia's nature if it was only because of this matter. After all, Risa had already told her about her condition.

Zainab came out of her room with a tray with an empty plate. He was about to head for the kitchen, the whole room was already dark. The lights were turned off by Mbok Cici. Zainab went down the stairs, but suddenly the light of the lights that lit made her flinch in shock.

"Astaghfirullah." He closed his eyes because he was a little scared.

"Non hasn't slept?." Mr. Imran was also a little shocked at the incident.

Zainab opened her eyes and looked at the source of the voice. "Oh my God, sir. Just surprised me. I think who."

"Sorry Non. Me and Master just got home." Evidently.

"Hmm, then where is Dad?." Zainab is looking for a figure who has not been exalted. It's just him and Mr. Imran.pp

"Sir is getting a call outside, maybe he'll be in soon."

"You haven't slept, baby?." The question that makes Zainab feel happy because of the return of the father.

Zainab gave the tray to Mr. Imran. And immediately kissed the back of Mujayasa's hand and hugged him.

"Not Well. Do you know, I had diarrhea." He told me while letting go of his embrace.

"Yes, Mas Fikri told Dad. We are meeting with a client. And I asked him to come home first, to make sure you're in shape." I'm afraid that's Mujayasa against Zainab. "Then how are you doing now? Mujayasa led his daughter to sit on a long sofa.

"Alhamdulillah, after taking the medicine that Mas Fikri bought, Zainab already felt better." Zainab took off her father's tie. "Do you want Zainab to make tea or coffee? Bargainly.

Mujayasa smiled. "No, I had coffee. Now better get some rest in your room." His order.

"alright. Dad will rest soon too. I must be tired today because I've been working this late." Zainab's eyes looked sad.

"Dad worked hard for you and Mas Fikri. If one day Dad is gone. At least you won't live hard. Because in accordance with Father's promise to your late Mother, I will live the rest of my life with the happiness of you, Father's children."

The warm crystals in Zainab's eye fertilizers are unstoppable. He knew long ago, his father never thought of himself. The happiness of Zainab and Fikri is the most important thing for his life. Zainab slid into his father's arms. He's getting sobbing. "Thank you, because you love and care about our happiness." Zainab's words sounded hoarse.

"There's no need to thank me, I'm doing this because it's an obligation as a father." Mujayasa let go of Zainab's embrace and wiped away her daughter's tears.

Zainab has thin lips. "Don't tell me if it's as if Dad's going to leave us. Although Zai knew, all living souls would definitely feel death. But that sentence sounds so sad."

"Alright, alright. Father's good deeds are not enough. I also don't want to lose if later when God really has asked to return." His speech.

"Zainab also prayed, that we might all gather in God's heaven."

"Aami." Mujayasa. "Sleep, aren't you going back to school tomorrow?

Zainab moved her head up and down. "Dad too." He's up.

Mujayasa looked at the princess with love. Zainab is very similar to her mother. He is an adult and soon to be married.

Sofia tried to close her eyes. But it didn't work either. Her eyeballs were still bright, she still remembered the incident a moment ago when her meeting with Dimas personally, concerned her feelings and heart.

He wanted to contact Zainab, but he undone. He did not want to disturb Zainab, he must be resting. Sofia plans to tell her everything tomorrow morning at school after meeting her.

While Sofia's mind drifted somewhere, Nesya Sudha stood beside her without her noticing.

"Mom, Nesya can sleep here, right?" The call awakens Sofia from her daydream. But he soon realized that his sister had indeed moved to sleep, if not in his room or his mother. Bad habits, he says.

After Sofia assures him, with Nesya's eyes still closed immediately fumbling where the bed is, Sofia helps him by laying down his sister's body.

He smiled at his sister's bad habits. "What if you're married later, you might as well change rooms in the middle of the night. There is, surely your husband will be confused looking for you everywhere. So what if it turns out you moved in your in-laws' room? That must be so funny." He himself mumbled slowly. Either Nesya can hear it or not. Sofia turns off her phone and keeps it on the nightstand. He tried to sleep by hugging Nesya.
