Zaki did hope to one day be able to interfere with a pious girl like Nafis but in fact the teenage Zaki was not ready with it at that time, he chose to postpone the answer to the girl's proposal until she was completely ready to accept it.
Moreover, everyone knew how she was, obviously at that time not comparable to Nafis who had been a girl since childhood who was Sholehah with all her advantages.
After Nafis lifted him up, Zaki was still lingering at that place, he still did not find any answers.
Until the sound of the azan ashar made him wake up from his daydream, he spread his gaze looking for the source of the voice, the voice that always shook his heart.
For a long time he had not really surrendered to the owner of the life, but today he instead sought it out to find answers to his problems.
As if someone guided him to his feet so interested to walk towards the source of the voice, all this time he carried out his obligations only as a formality only some Muslims, some Muslims, or maybe just as a son of a pesantren.
In fact, he often left his prayers when he was outside the pesantren.
Until the voice of the call is like reminding himself of his identity who is no one in this world salain His servant.
Slowly he took off his shoes and climbed up the steps of the mosque terrace, removing his jacket and some motorcycle accessories attached to it. Just put it on the floor.
He walked slowly towards the ablution site, began to wash the members of the ablution with water, and began to wash them with water,
He along with other worshippers began performing the ashar prayer, but this time it was not as usual, after the prayer was over, he was still sitting in his place. He doesn't even know what he's going to do after this.
Until a piece of paper fell right on his head, his hand quickly grabbed the paper, it was a brochure registration of a boarding school, inexplicably seeing the name of the pesantren made him interested.
"Sorry deck, not intentionally!" said someone who was standing next to him.
Zaki smiled, and seeing many brochures in the man's hands he became convinced that the man wearing the sarong deliberately spread the brochure to the mosques,
"No pa pa mas, may I ask for this one?" tanyanya.
"Ohhh please deck, I added again yes deck, who knows there are adek friends who are also interested!"
"No, just one."
"All right!"
After the man left, Zaki moved his seat, he chose to sit in the corner of the mosque,
For some reason he was so interested in the brochure, he read point by point the brochure. Who is not familiar with the pesantren in the brochure, the pesantren is even so famous to foreign countries.
***
"Bi, Zaki has already decided!" he said firmly to the Abi, he said,
"How's it?" his brother who was reading the book immediately closed it and placed it on a small table beside him sat while his ummi seemed still busy with shopping notes for tomorrow.
"Zaki's going to go mumps! All lecture there." he said and managed to make both parents stunned.
"To Cairo?" asked her brother to make sure again and Zaki shook his head.
"Why and where?" ask again.
"First because Zaki feels he is not worthy of being Nafis' companion and secondly perhaps God deliberately sent Zaki away from Nafis so that zaki could improve himself. Then where is Zaki's destination, Zaki will go to the boarding school in east Java."
"Why east Java?"
"It's nothing bi, Zaki feels there better!"
"Well, Abi can't do anything but agree right!?"
"Thank you Abi!"
***
Now that Zaki and Nafis are sitting on the same bench as they sat on yesterday, Nafis is seen carrying something in her hands, a visa and a passport.
"Are you serious about your decision?" tanya Nafis, her eyes glazed over.
"God willing!"
"May I miss you later, until that halal moment.?"
"Don't wait for the uncertain. Miss is sick what else miss it on the wrong person!"
"But God willing you are the right person for me, whether you allow it or not, I will keep saying your name in my every prayer, so that you will be made my priest!"
"Don't, I'll pray to Him to find you the best mate!"
"And I will pray, my best soul mate is you!"
"You're stubborn!"
"Well, God willing, if I deserve you later, I'll come back and I'll propose!"
"Surely, I will wait for that moment to arrive!"
"But if not_!"
"Definitely ustad!"
"In this world nothing is certain, Breath. Neither you nor I will ever know whose prayer breaks whose prayer! Who knows if there is a stronger prayer until the prayer you are proud of will be broken!"
Nafis fell silent, he had no answer to Zaki's words. But he also does not want to give up on loving Zaki until later his prayers are broken by the prayers of others.
"I'll be back, Ustad Zaki. And at that time I hoped that my panantian would never be in vain, assalamualaikum!"
"Greetings waalaikum!"

Finally they both go with different goals but with the same intention, both want to improve themselves.
Zaki's life story starts from Jombang, a boarding school that will raise his name.
Zaki who urakan slowly transformed into a soft Zaki and Sholeh. He barely returned to his home for a moment, so his parents would come to him.
Four years passed, iftad Zaki graduated to become the best student at one of the universities in East Java as well as the best santri. He also continued his S2 education at the same university.
"You seriously don't want to go home?" ask umminya.
"God willing, when Hasna gets married, Zaki will come ummi!"
"But Breath also comes home, loh. You don't want to propose to Nafis right away? It's been four years, son. And he's still waiting for you!"
"Zaki still doesn't feel right, ummi! If Nafis isn't Zaki's soul mate, God willing he'll get the best, ummi and it's not Zaki!"
Sure enough, he only came home when his sister got married. Her younger sister was in the editing by the son of the pesantren owner kyai as well, so after marriage she was brought by her husband, too,
It turns out that there he was indeed reunited with the girl, but Zaki's answer is still the same, but the answer is still the same, he asked Nafis to be patient until he graduated S2 and got a master's degree just like Nafis who will still continue his education.
"If only you were satisfied with your S1 title, I would consider marrying you right now,"
"Why? We can get married and continue the marriage together!"
"I'm afraid I can't embarrass two things in my time together. And if we get married now, I'm afraid it'll get in the way of your dreams, so it's better to wait until I'm sure I'm getting married, but if in that waiting period and you find the best and it's not me, then get married!"
"I won't get married until you get married first, if you're not my soul mate!"
"Don't precede God's destiny, Nafis!"
"No, I just want to insist on God about my request!"
Finally, they decided to continue their education.
In addition to being a student and student, Ustad Zaki also started a small business by opening a convenience store,
After going through a long process, starting from opening a tent stall in front of the campus while studying, cooking himself default to pay one, two people to help him.
Slowly but surely, Ustad Zaki began renting a place before a store of his own was bought.
It seems that fate took him to a small town called Blitar, after graduating S2 his shop began to develop, he was able to open two shops in Jombang, Jombang, the result is good for the cost of living and college that will continue to S3, he was offered the location to open a branch there with a fairly cheap land price and at the same time, he was offered the location to open a branch there at the same time, the pesantren's nanny offered him to devote himself to one of the camps in Blitar.
Without thinking, he agreed. It came to Blitar to open a new store there, and there were other stores throughout Indonesia spread.
His appearance is simple and simple, indeed no one will think if he is an owner of dozens of shops that exist in Indonesia.
Despite having a car, he was even more comfortable going anywhere with his motorbike, even to live in, he never thought of buying a luxury house or renting an apartment, he said, he preferred to live in the same place as the one in the marbot.
His employees have hundreds, he also always entrusts the management of the store to his trusted people and some of them fellow students. He deliberately opened job vacancies for students who are interested in working but also did not close the opportunity for outsiders.
