Love Zainab

Happiest

Joseph rested his body on the bed after cleaning himself. His heart did not stop being happy. Zainab's face filled her head. He laid his body with both hands folded under his head. His brain turned back on his encounter with Zainab. Disbelief will have a rose as beautiful as her, will soon be in her quote beauty.

But the anxiety is back up, the blessing of Zainab's father will determine the continuation of their relationship.

*yeah..

If you do not want us to be together.

Then ease everything.

I want him. The woman who always bothered my mind. I don't want to accumulate more sins by thinking about it.

I want to justify it*.

Doa and Joseph's hope in his heart. He was never grandiose, formed a happy little family, had children of sholeh and sholeha, memorizers of the Qur'an. That'sthat's all. Of course with Zainab.

"May I come in?." Bu Tina's voice broke Joseph's daydream.

"Yes, Mom." Said inviting.

Ms. Tina opened the unlocked door, carrying warm tea. He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the look on his son's face that looked different since their return from Ustadz Harun's residence. Of course Bu Tina could guess what Joseph was thinking. "Mom likes it, Son Zainab. I can't wait to bring her into this house. Did you just kidnap her, Suf?."

Yusuf chuckles. "This mother is talking about ngawur. It would be a crime to be kidnapped."

"Only one day, he was invited to lunch with us. He won't reject her, will he?." Bu Tina's Proposal.

"Joseph wanted to find a wife. Why be a mother who becomes impatient like this, anyway?" Still with his power.

"Because I already have a grandchild. Look at the next-door neighbor whose son got married yesterday, already pregnant. I'm thinking of you again, you're in your 30s but your wife doesn't have one."

Yusuf scolded. "For what to think, if it had come his soul mate surely Joseph would also be married. I wish you the best." Her request. "And to invite Zainab to lunch together, wait after the decision of Zainab's father. Joseph did not want to be presumptuous before he got his blessing." Its effects.

"Yes, I understand. May Zainab's father accept you, son." Ms. Tina gave the warm tea she had brought to Joseph.

They continued the conversation with another topic. To dispel for a moment the uneasiness in Joseph's heart.

***

After being greeted by Mbok Cici, Zainab immediately hugged him. Mbok Cici felt that there was something strange happening to Nonanya. But from the appearance of the waves, it implies an aura of happiness. The smile of Zainab sumringah indicates that her heart is not calm.

"Hmm, Miss Risa where is Mbok?." Ask her while letting go of that hug.

"So went to the same doctor Mas Fikri, he said he wanted to check-up the womb. Look at the sex of a boy or a girl." Answer tells.

Zainab O without a sound.

"Zaynab......" The half-crying voice called out his name. The woman ran from inside the house. His face was like candy. It's good to see Zainab back.

"Sophia? Since when are you here?" Ask Zainab.

"It was 30 minutes ago." Answer Sofia. "I'm almost going to say goodbye because I waited too long for you." His complaint.

"Why didn't you tell me if you were coming here?." Zainab steps into the house and Sofia follows her.

"Intentionally indeed. But you seem to be pretty busy lately. Until there is no time with me. We rarely chat together, hangout to the mall or to the city park."

That's right what Sofia said. Zainab does spend more time taking care of her own interests. Until he forgot his best friend. Zainab also has not told the reason why lately always ignore him.

"Assalamualaik." The greeting made Zainab and Sofia turn their heads.

"Getishalam." Answer them simultaneously.

"Hmm apparently there is a reunion between two friends huh." Risa hugged Sofia for a moment. "You're home, Zai?." Ask his sister-in-law.

"Yes Ma'am. Where is Mas Fikri?." Zainab was looking for her brother.

"There's something I don't know, how you!!! Sofia's lips pursed.

"No, it's not that. There's a reason why I didn't tell you about this." Zainab sighed giving a pause. His heart thumped frequently discussing the name of Joseph. He focused his eyes on Risa. "Alhamdulillah, he has the same feelings and desires as Zainab, Ma'am."

"really?." Risa's eyes widened. He was not sure what he heard.

While Sofia still did not understand where the two of them were going. Like someone stupid among them.

Zainab nods her head reassuring Risa. "Alhamdulillah, Mbak is very happy today because he got two good news at once."

"Oh yeah?." Zainab has a serious face.

"First news, the gender of this junior is female. And secondly, you'll soon have a companion for life." Risa Urai is full of happiness.

Hearing the first news, Sofia smiled. But the look on his face changed after hearing the second news, if Zainab would soon marry. Tragically. How could he not know such a big thing.

"Zai?" Lirih Sofia's. "You're getting married? With who? Why do you have the heart, news as big as this doesn't tell me? Where is our friendship?" A series of questions like a test for Zainab.

"OKs. Calm yourself first! I will answer your questions one by one and the reason. Now let me eat first, because I'm so hungry." Zainab begged Sofia to understand.

In the end, after going through a debate, Sofia granted Zainab's request. I can't bear to see his best friend holding his hunger. Perhaps after eating, he would have the energy to answer all the questions from her. And tell me what's going on.

After Mbok Cici serves all the food at the table. They eat it with gourmand. Fikri also ate with them, he also felt happy after Risa told about her meeting with Joseph.

There is no conversation between them. Except for the clinking sound of spoons and plates that occasionally meet. Zainab's mind was at war, her soul breaking through the time machine. His Do'a will soon be fulfilled, and Joseph will be a priest in his life. Raga who want to unite, but still need a process to make it meet.

After finishing his meal. Zainab and Sofia continued their interrupted conversation earlier. They're in Zainab's room now. "Who's the guy who's gonna marry you, Zai?."

Zainab took her breath slowly. Sofia would be very surprised if she mentioned the name of Joseph. But that's the truth. "He is Joseph." The answer was slow and careful with seeing Sofia's facial water.

And it's true. Sofia's mouth was open. He stared, even his eyes unblinking. Has the name of Joseph bewitched him? So he was quiet for a while.

"Sir Yusuf? Or maybe another Joseph, I mean someone else who has the same name?" Sofia made sure once again.

"Yes, Joseph." Zainab smiled broadly.

Zainab told me what happened between them. Two weeks ago, they met unexpectedly in the same place. At his uncle's house, which was also Ustadz for Joseph. He and Joseph had the same intention of finding a life partner. Without realizing it, her aunt wanted to match them both. And in the end, we got the same deal.

"Let's just wait for Father's blessing." Zainab closed the ceremony, which had not yet reached its end.

"I'm sure your father did not reject Joseph. He's a future dream daughter-in-law."

"Aami." "You yourself what about Dimas?" Tanya Zainab wants to know the continuation of their relationship.

"Just pray. You're in a dilemma now." The ura.

"The dilemma?." Zainab pulled one of her eyebrows up.

"I was confused between choosing Dimas or his Brother. They're both handsome and sweet." Sofia imagined the faces of the two.

Zainab massaged her head which suddenly felt dizzy. "You are, flirtatious. Don't talk if you want both." The accusation.

"What do you think I'm a girl, wants both of them." Sofia felt unacceptable.

"Then you have to choose one of them. Don't be greedy, others will."

"Yes. Ja. That's chatty." Who do you think I should choose?"

Zainab scrunched her forehead. "What would marry one of them would be you, not me. Why should I choose. It's possible that my answer won't be the same as how you feel in your heart." Zainab gave a pause. "You need Istikharah prayer, Ah will give you the best answer and you will never regret it." Buffet advises.

Sofia seemed to think, digesting Zainab's sentence. It is about choosing a life partner, not just for a while but forever. Not trivial and careless or at will in making choices. He was not sure he would choose Dimas or Deni. His heart is still worried.
