Who knows Zaki who now certainly thinks that the man has grown into a person who is so good and close to his God as now, but in fact not. All things to be good certainly need a long process and Zaki just go through it all.
True what someone says, if something that exists does not come in a trial and error, because in fact all need a process and a long way to go.
It all started twenty-seven years ago.
In one of the pesantren in west central Java happily welcomed the birth of the first son of a newly married couple about two years ago, his brother had just been given the responsibility to manage a pesantren.
The boy's name is Zaki Keenan Naafi. A smart and tough kid. He was called Zaki by those closest to him. He grew up to be a smart boy, sweet-spoken, handsome, and became the darling of many people.
After five years, he was also given the gift of a younger sister who was also so beautiful name Hasna. They grew up together in a boarding environment,
Until when Hasna was in Junior High she decided to go to school in Cairo, in contrast to Hasna, Zaki who almost graduated high school chose a different path. Teenager Zaki begins to search for her true identity. He hangs out with a lot of friends, goes to brawls here and there, goes to the motor club. It was the toughest test for both parents.
Until a girl who suddenly comes and occupies the house across the street switches her world, the teenage Zaki who likes to wander, goes home at night and suddenly becomes a home child.
Every night he had a new habit, he sat on the porch of his room just to wait for a girl across the street to open his bedroom window and smile at him.
And even more fun, the girl's father was teaching at the boarding school that his ashes manage, and more fun turns out the girl was in the same place where she went to school.
Every day, he was always looking for an opportunity to go and go home together. The girl is Nafis, Zida Nafisah.
And apparently the dipper also greeted, Nafis secretly also put feelings for him. And it was known to the girl's father.
Finally there was a meeting of two families,
"What do you think, kyai?" kyai Ramli asked Abinya.
"If I'm up to her son, but Nafis is a good boy, she's also very intelligent Sholihah, whereas Zaki_!" his ashes were looking at him doubtfully while Zaki understood the intent of his gray gaze.
"God willing, Zaki is a good boy. And God willing, Nafis can guide Zaki!"
"Sorry Kyai, may I speak!" Teenage Zaki immediately cut off the talk of the parents.
"Yes, please!"
"I can't get married right now, if I'm allowed to let me learn to be a good priest just got married."
"But Nafis is good enough to guide son Zaki to be a good husband and priest!"
"I'm sorry, if I don't think Zaki is being guided but Nafis as a guided wife, if I object to my opinion, kyai can look for someone else who Nafis can possibly guide, I'm sorry. Assalamualaikum!"
"Zaki!" call her brother, but it turns out Zaki's a more stubborn teenager. "Greetings waalaikum!"
"I'm sorry Zaki, kyai!"
"No pa pa kyai, what Zaki wants to say there is a point. Maybe later if Zaki's boy is ready, I'll come with my proposal again."
***
Zaki chose to leave the house with his motorbike, as usual he was going to his hangout. But when he was in front he passed the girl who had made his heart tremble,
"Ustad, wait!" call Nafis and teenage Zaki undoes his intention to run his bike.
"Stop calling me that!" said the teenager, "Don't make a wish that will break your heart!"
Nafis smiled, "No, God willing I am sure of this, one day you can find yourself _, ustad!"
The teenage Zaki smiled, he did not agree with the notion that women could guide his man, but if the woman was like Nafis, it must be the best man who should be his companion, he said,
"I'm leaving, assalamualaikum!"
"Greetings waalaikum!"
Zaki was a teenager ever since then chose to avoid even though he had fostered longing,
Until graduation arrives. A reality that made his heart quite a dilemma.
"So Kyai Ramli came here, Zak!" said abinya.
"But here's Kyai Ramli for you!" said the Abi and Zaki chose to be silent waiting for his next abu speech.
"He's back to ask you,"
"But Zaki _!"
"Listen to Abi first!" his abi's words kept Zaki silent waiting for the continuation of Abi's remark, "Kyai Ramli deliberately ask you now because next Sunday Nafis will continue his education to Cairo."
Instantly Zaki was stunned, he immediately turned to Abinya.
"Yes Zak. There's no harm if you get married this Sunday and you can go to Cairo together, besides going to college there, you can also keep an eye on your sister!"
"Zaki think about it, bi. Assalamualaikum!"
Zaki picks back out on his bike, he goes to the park to calm down, looking for the right answer to that.
On the one hand he is not ready to be the husband of a Nafis but on the other hand he does not want to lose Nafis, he is already in love with the girl.
"Assynnya!" greeting someone made Zaki raise his head, it turns out that Nafis, he was smiling at him.
"Greetings waalaikum!"
"May Nafis sit?"
"Please!" said Zaki but Nafis was completely unmoved in his place until Zaki realized something, he shifted his seat to the very edge, too, once again Nafis smiled and sat down at the end of the chair leaving an empty spot in their midst.
"Why are you here, ustad?" tanya Nafis made Zaki sigh,
"Stop calling me that, Breath!"
"I love that call, so let me call you like that huh, because Nafis hopes that one day you will become an ustad."
"If not?"
"I'll never regret it because at least I've prayed my best for you."
Uhhh ....
Once again Zaki sighed, he refocused forward. Staring at the trees that were swinging about because of the wind that was beating on him.
"What's up here?" ask Nafis again.
"No pa pa, just calm down, looking for an answer!"
"Why not go to the mosque, God willing, God will answer!"
Zaki turned to the girl with his long robe. So sweet and soothing,
"I go first, can you give me the answer to Nafis tomorrow?"
Zaki nodded his head and the girl stood up from her place,
"Assynnya!"
"Greetings waalaikum!"
