NOT A PAYCHECK

15

Arriving home, Zara immediately rushed to clean up and changed clothes because in one hour she had to go to the boarding school to teach njai.

Zara thought Sean had come home, but in fact Sean was still sitting in the living room chatting with Bahar the Father.

Honestly Zara was actually a little curious about the reason Sean came, other than giving him the ring what else made Sean come? Sean came because... Ahh I don't know, Zara doesn't want to hope or baper for fear of pain if the reality is not like that.

"Assalamualaikum Zara cancikkk." the sound of Ema's greeting was heard entering the grounds of Zara's house.

"Wa.alaikumsalam," replied Bahar along with Sean.

It was seen entering Zara's house, from the front Imah was curious about the luxury car parked in front of Zara's house and now again Imah was made curious about the existence of a handsome man who was sitting in Zara's guest room.

"God, who is this?" Shameless Imah immediately shook Sean's hand and with a reflex Sean returned the hand of Imah even though Sean was confused who the woman who was also hijab.

"This is Sean, Zara's future husband." Bahar explained to Imah. "Son's son, this is Geez Zara's little friend."

"Is this really Zara's future husband?" It looks surprised. "Where are you, sir? Imah also wants to be something like this." said Imah made Bahar immediately chuckle while Sean just remained silent, for Sean has often heard people say he is handsome like oppa oppa korea.

"Eh daft, but not Zara's the same Mas Pa-"

"You leaving now, mah?" Zara who had just come out of her room cut off Imah's words.

"Don't, I'm ready." Zara looked at Imah full of code.

Zara and Imah said goodbye and did not forget to kiss the hands of Bahar and Asih.

"Let me drive along" said Sean standing up from his seat as Zara and Imah were at the top of the door.

"Ti-no need. we used to walk." Zara refused.

"I want to go to the pesantren" Sean said.

"Have invited Zara," said Bahar who finally could not be rejected by Zara.

Sean walked up to Imah and Zara from behind, "Not just in the car?" ask Sean.

"Ne-no need to."

"May also tuh Zar, anyways I never ride a car ginian so we just ride the car ya." pinta Imah make Zara glare at him.

"Udah mas, let's go." Imah immediately ran open the back door and directly entered Sean's car making Zara shake in disbelief while Sean just chuckled.

The car drove slowly towards the boarding school, Zara gave the direction of the turn because sitting next to Sean and Imah who was in the back seat was still amazed by the luxury of Sean's car.

"It's so cool, it's cold again.it's so different to ride in angkot." chirps Imah make Sean again chuckle.

"Later to be ushered home to home." chirped Imah again.

"May..." Zara gave her best friend a warning.

"What the hell is Zar, when else can ride a luxury car like this." fierce Imah made Zara just shook her head in disbelief.

Arriving in front of the pesantren, Sean's car immediately became the center of attention of pesantren children. Many who immediately approached Sean's car just wanted to touch Sean's luxury car.

"Kids don't be tacky." Come out with a mocking tone towards the children of pesantren.

"Why did you get in a nice car?"

"There's brother Zara too" exclaimed one of the children as Zara got out of the car.

"Who is this handsome brother?" ask one of the children again makes Sean scratched his head because confused to answer what.

"Zara, thank God you come again. The child is gone." Jannah Bu Nyai, the owner of the boarding school, hugged Zara.

"Sorry, I can't look at your father in the hospital" Jannah said.

"No matter what ma'am, praying is enough." Zara replied with a smile.

Jannah's eyes were fixed on the handsome man behind Zara "Who is this?"

"I'm Zara's future husband." Sean seems to be approaching to answer Jannah's question.

Jannah was surprised, then looked at Zara who was looking down. Jannah smiled at Sean,

"God, God, thank God Nak Zara finally wants to sellout." teased Jannah.

"Imah also wants to dong bu, like Zara." said Imah.

"If you want, you must be diligent and diligent in asking God to be loved" said Jannah.

"The handsome one like Zara's got it, Mom." Imah said while grimacing.

"There is no need for a handsome one, the important thing is to be a good priest who is also responsible for the world of the hereafter."

Deg.. Sean was immediately offended by Jannah's remark. Can Sean be like what Jannah just said?

All the children had gathered in the room, Sean seemed to sit in the back seat watching Zara teach the boarding boy.

Without realizing Sean's eyes from earlier looked at Zara's movements and saw how patient and gentle Zara's voice made Sean smile.

"It's just right that Papa and Mama like you." Sean said.

Meanwhile, Zara who felt that she had been noticed by Sean in the back felt so nervous that she did not want to teach pesantren children.

Before returning Zara was called Bu Nyai Jannah,

"You think you're the same Panji, Panji said yesterday he wanted to propose to you."

Zara lowered her head to hear Bu Jannah's confession, Even Panji before proposing to her had consulted Bu Jannah first to make Zara feel more guilty to Panji.

"Zara was betrothed to Daddy ma'am." Zara's voice sounded soft.

"Are you already istiqarah son?"

Zara nodded slowly,

"And he's the answer to your prayer?" ask Jannah again.

"Zara doesn't know mom, either, but Zara is convinced by Dad's choice of man."

Jannah seemed to be breathing deeply, "It was only right yesterday that Panji resigned to become a najai teacher here" said Jannah to Zara's surprise.

"Ja-so Mas Panji?"

Jannah nodded, "Yes it's Panji's decision, I don't insist because from the beginning anyone who wants to teach here, I only ask sincerity."

"Sorry Mom, maybe because Zara's reason for Panji's pacing" Jannah immediately shook her head in disapproval and clasped Zara's hand.

"Maybe this is what is called destiny, son, think no more and feel no guilt. I'm so happy with all your choices."

Zara smiled, "Thank you very much Mom.."

Zara walks out of the boarding school, seeing Imah and Sean waiting for her in front of the car.

"For a long time, I can't wait to ride a nice car" said Imah in a joking tone.

Zara just smiled and entered the car first.

Sean entered the car and immediately looked towards Zara.

"What's wrong?" zara was surprised when Sean looked at her and smiled.

Instead of answering Sean instead returned a smile and immediately drove forward his car.
