Loving You In Silence

Episose 37

Somewhere else. Zahra was devastated after receiving a call from her parents. His parents told him that someone had come to propose to Zahra this afternoon.

That man is Wildan. Wildan was a childless widower from the village where Zahra came from. Wildan is still fairly young, his age has just stepped on the 30s, but unfortunately his previous marriage must run aground because his wife chose a career until her husband's affairs are neglected especially household affairs are certainly neglected.

Both of Zahra's parents have not yet given an answer to the proposal because of course they have to ask for approval from the child who was betrothed.

Zahra was confused at this moment. He did not know Wildan at all, only knew his face because several times passed by. But according to the mother, Wildan is a wise and gentle figure.

“Wildan good boy, son. He is thoughtful, polite and very respectful of women. His family is also very good. But yes, he is a widower. How?”

Abah Zahra said as he spoke on the phone. He asked Zahra for an answer to the proposal that Wildan made.

“Zahra can't yet decide the bah. Zahra even forgot what her face looked like. Zahra never knew him, only a few times passed by without greeting each other. Zahra asked for a few days to think about it.” Zahra answered his brother.

“Alright, but don't take too long Zahra, kill Wildan if you have to hang without an answer. Oh yeah, I'll send you a picture later. Do not forget you pray istikhoroh ask for instructions with Allah yes.” That was his brother's message.

Zahra rubbed her face several times and also ruffled her hair when one message entered her phone. Abahs.

This is a picture of Wildan.

The contents of a very short message accompanied by a photo attachment Wildan. Suddenly a smile appeared on Zahra's face.

“good looking, can too.” is ridiculous.

That night just passed in Zahra's room. He forgot about the proposal, now he fell asleep along with the rain.

The next day, Zahra prepared to go to college. He has a busy schedule today. But before Zahra departed he remembered the message.

He should not take too long to consider it and should also pray istikhoroh to ask for instructions. Then Zahra went to the bathroom, took the water. After that Zahra took the mukena and performed the prayers of isthoroh.

In his prayer Zahra really asked his Lord for guidance because marriage is sacred and not a game. Zahra only wants to get married once in a lifetime and she doesn't want to make the wrong decision.

Arriving at the campus, Zahra immediately headed for the classroom. Anita was there first. This semester, they're in class. Anita deliberately equates her schedule with Zahra's.

For organizational reasons, to make it easier for them to coordinate. Zahra knew full well that it was just Anita's empty reasoning.

“your face is very serious. Wh why? Want me huh?” seloroh Anita once saw Zahra at the entrance with a tangled face. Zahra throttled, then turned her face away while passing by in search of the ideal sitting position for her.

“narsis..” says Anita.

“indeed..” reply Zahra.

Not long after, the lecturer appeared. Then the teacher immediately started the lecture that day. Zahra, Anita and other friends focus on listening to the description of the lecturer.

This course requires a high focus, but thanks to the direction of their level brother, they managed to choose the right lecturer. Because he is very detailed and the description is easy to understand so that the previously very complicated courses are made to be very interesting, as interesting as the appearance.

2 Hours of the course was finally completed as well. There is only a 15-minute pause before the next course continues. But Zahra and Anita chose to wait in the classroom.

“Anita, later malem nginep kos ku ya?” pinta Zahra to her best friend.

“why? Tumben once..usually also I was expelled.” Anita replied without looking at Zahra who was upset actually.

Anita still plays her phone. Seen several times typing and occasional clinking of incoming messages

which made Anita smile.

“iishh. This time I will not kick you out. There's something I want to tell you and I'm asking your opinion.” Saut Zahra's.

This time Zahra's words managed to make Anita put down her cellphone and switch to looking fixed Zahra.

“about?” ask Anita curious.

“ya later, so you have to nginep tonight at my boarding house. Ok?” pinta Zahra once again.

“Good day everyone.” greeting the lecturer who just entered.

“alah.aku nginep later.” Anita replied in a whisper.
