Just walking a few steps away from the mosque, suddenly his steps seemed to be restrained when a woman stood about twenty steps away from his place, wanting to turn around and pass another path but the woman had already seen him.
Ustad Zaki was forced to slowly move his legs forward, the woman where he smiled at her.
Now that his steps were eroding the distance between them, Zaki's head slowly stopped as their distance was getting smaller,
"Assalamualaikum, Nafis' ustadzah!" he said while commenting on the smile, for a moment looking at him and then quickly Ustad Zaki lowered his gaze.
"Greetings, Oustad Zaki!" replied the Nafis ustadzah and replied to him with a smile that was no less graceful with his voice.
"How is ustadzah_?" ask ustad Zaki, but not yet finished the endadzah Nafis first cut his speech.
"Sorry, I'm still the same as before. Or maybe Zaki has changed!"
"God willing, I'm still the same, but sorry I can't just call you names!"
"Can we talk for a minute?" ask ustadzah Nafis.

Finally, now the ustad Zaki and the ustadzah Nafis have been sitting together in one of the restaurants not far from where the seminar was held, in addition to continuing their conversation, they also deliberately to fill the stomach. It seems that Nafis's ustadzah has not had lunch.
"How is Zaki?" ask ustadzah Nafis as soon as they finish their meal, "It feels like you still can't believe you're finally becoming an ustad!"
"Thank God I am good, Thank God also because God gave me and people trust me to preach to them certainly in my way."
"I know for sure that Zaki will be a successful ustad, the ustad who is in the joy of his worshipers."
Ustad Zaki just smiled in response to the speech of the endadzah Nafis,
"If you don't mind, Nafis's ustadzah can call me like I used to, it doesn't feel too worthy to hold a glass of oustad."
"God willing Zaki is worthy enough for that call."
After that they were silent to each other, Nafisah's ustadzah seemed to choose to focus on traffic on the streets this afternoon, he said,
"I heard that Zaki was married?" tanyanya then, handsome face keeps a deep wist.
Ustad Zaki nodded his head,
"Congratulations!" he said again and a smile was engraved on his lips, "Abi yesterday had asked ustad Zaki, if there was time if Zaki could not see Abi?"
"God willing I will work, ustadzah."
"It's been a very late afternoon, lose as soon as I excuse you, assalamualaikum!" say ustazah Nafis while moving from his seat.
"Greetings waalaikum!" answer ustad Zaki, he was completely unmoved in his place staring at the departure of the Nafisah ustadzah.
Forgive me for maybe it is not me who is the destiny of the Nafisah ...

POV ustadzah Nafisah
Today I never thought or imagined anything, I just asked if Ramli to replace him because he could not attend one of the events.
But my arrival this time was really something unexpected.
It's been a long time, almost five years and we've never met, now we're back at one event.
It felt so warm that my heart could see her smile again, her clean face shining with her white shirt, but instantly a reality that I had just heard a few weeks ago broke my heart.
My five-year wait seemed to run aground, I didn't know whose prayer was strongest until even my whisper in my bow was unable to break the prayer of others who were entitled to you.
Zoe ....
That name I always say in my prayers, even I memorized how the prayer never changed during this time.
I was wondering what his prayer was until someone else had it.
Is it a sin if until now I still hope that what I heard yesterday is not the truth?
If so, I'd like to propose to her again.
We sat facing each other, but we didn't say hello, we were in one forum but it felt so far away.
Until this afternoon I ventured to greet him first, wanting to immediately ask about his current status but it turned out to be so heavy.
And that answer really doesn't want me to hear, though,
"Congratulations!" it felt like a knife was drawing out my heart when I said that,
It turns out that this hurt, O Allah forgive me for not being able to accept what has become your destiny, I still wish I could be the soul mate of a Zaki.
"Oh my God, I am so curious, what kind of woman has broken her heart!"
My tears can't be contained anymore, I spill them all in the taxi so that when I get home I can smile again,
O Allah, give sincerity to the heart of your fragile servant ...

Ustad Zaki did not want to linger in that place, he immediately snatched back his bag. He left his brother's motorcycle in the parking lot of the building where the seminar was, so he had to go back there to pick up the bike.
It took half an hour to get back to the boarding school, once at home has entered magrib time.
Immediately iftad Zaki shower and prepare to leave for the mosque and return to rest after isya' that he did not go straight to the room, he took a moment to just chat with Abi and his ummi.
"Hhhhhh ....!" ustad Zaki immediately laid down his tired body for a day of activities on the bed, but it felt like his eyes could not be closed before he contacted the wife, before his longing was cured.
"Assalamualaikum, deck!" ustad Zaki immediately smiled widely as he saw the face of the wife who filled the screen of his phone. Instantly tired all day treated by staring at the face of the wife.
"Waalaikum salam, why did it arrive last night? Zahra thought she forgot she had a wife!?" zahra lamented and it felt like he wanted to pinch his wife's spoiled face.
"Yes not the deck, if you can anyway I want to give you the writing on the chest!"
"What's writing?"
"This handsome ustad already has a wife, so don't bother ya!"
"Oh yeah, not that too many times. Oh yes mas, Zahra had seen the post mas dustad on inst*gr*m loh, mas ustad great can sit parallel to those great people."
"Alhamdulillah, neither did I expect it! I thought it was just a small event but it turned out to be an amazing event."
"So that's really Hasyim kyai that's actually invited, not mas ustad?"
"Mas does not know the deck, said Kyai Hasyim anyway. Maybe this is a fortune, deck! Can sit next to great people like them."
"Mas you know, there's a Nafis Ustadzah too right? Seneng deh, tomorrow mintain signature huh!?"
Ustad Zaki was so surprised by Zahra's question.
How can the Zahra deck be familiar with the Nafis Ustadzah?
