NOT A PAYCHECK

03

It had been almost a week after the arrival of the Anggara family home, and since then there has been no warm chat that occurred in the Bahar family.

Zara looks not at all excited about her day. He was busy thinking about what would happen in the future if he lived with a man he did not love at all.

Even during this week, Zara ignored Panji when they met every day, both at the school where they taught also in pesantren in the afternoon they taught naji.

"Is there something wrong with me?" panji's question rotated in Zara's mind this time after noon this time when the clock came home teaching, Panji blocked his way home.

Zara who did not know what to say could only shake her head while looking down lethargic.

"If something goes wrong, just say it. I'll fix it all" Panji said again which was completely unanswered by Zara instead Zara rushed away to leave the banner.

And it's all a success to make Zara unsettled at this time.in the room alone while contemplating the right moment He had to tell Panji everything.

The word pennant again sounded in his ears made Zara finally cry because she could not stand it all anymore.

"I love you, why do we have to experience all of this." Zara's inner face slapped her hands together.

"Son.." Asih the Mother's voice knocked on Zara's room door, making Zara hurriedly pick up the tissue and clean her face so as not to look crying.

"What's wrong, ma'am? just get in the door unlocked." Zara's hoarse voice couldn't lie to her mother if she just cried.

Asih looked closely at her daughter's face from the door and walked over.

"Are you still not able to accept everything, son?" ask Asih while stroking Zara's cheek. You know Zara just cried.

"What's wrong mom if Zara still finds it hard to accept,"

Asih shook her head, understanding what her daughter was feeling.

"You love Nak Panji so much?" ask Asih again who immediately embraced Zara.

"If you really love Nak Panji, I will accompany you to talk to Dad.

"We talk to Dad well, who knows you can understand and you don't have to marry the father's master's son" Asih said with gentleness.

Zara shook her head instead, "If I obey my ego and reject the master's proposal, it's the same as I've made Dad disobey his promise Ma'am.

"God willing Zara is ready to accept, it's just that maybe at this time Zara is still shocked and does not know what to say to Mas Panji Bu." explained Zara and her tears back in front of Asih.

"If indeed you accept the young master's proposal, I hope you immediately tell Nak Panji, so that Nak Panji can also immediately mengikhlaskan you" said Asih.

"It still feels heavy ma'am, I'm afraid Panji mas hate me." said Zara made Asih carry Zara's body into her arms.

"If you just stay quiet and delay like this, it's the same that you even hurt Nak Panji" Asih explained.

"All decisions are in Zara's hands, either accepting Nak Panji's proposal or the young master's. I will not force. I will always respect all your choices, son.

"Immediately think and make a decision so that there is no heart that you hurt later.

"Salat istiqarah, ask Allah which is best for you."

Zara nodded, agreeing with what the mother said. It seemed that he had to ask the owner of the life with whom he should choose later.

In the middle of the night, Zara held her prayer rite and prayed two rakaats to ask the creator who he should choose. Zara steadied her heart and prayed that her current choice would be right. Not only good for her but also good for her parents.

"Where are you going nduk?" asked Asih when sweeping the yard of the house saw Zara was neatly dressed in Muslim clothes ready to go out even though today is Sunday, Zara had a holiday teaching at school.

"You'll see Panji ma'am."

"God willing, ma'am."

"Yes, my heart is on the road.Greetings to Nak Panji ya." said Asih Kala Zara say goodbye kiss the hands of the Mother.

"Assalamualaikum ma'am." Greet Zara and walk away from the yard.

"Wa aleikumsalam."

"Zara where are you going, ma'am?" tanya Bahar approached the wife.

"Lho, isn't it good for Dad?" ask Asih wonder.

"It's good, just Dad's not going anywhere."

Asih nodded in understanding, "You'll see Panji."

Bahar seemed to be breathing out a long breath.

"All the wrong Father, Mom?" Bahar feels very guilty for forcing something that is not wanted by the princess only wayangnya.

"There's nothing to blame Well, it's Zara's destiny with whomever her choice will be" she said, trying to comfort her husband.

"If only at that time Dad did not say strange talk to Mr. Anggara maybe all this did not happen.maybe now Zara is happy with her own choices." regretted Bahar.

"It's all happening Dad, now we can only pray for Zara all the best."

Bahar nodded in agreement, Right now he can only resign to whatever will be Zara's destiny. Bahar can only pray that young Master Sean can make his daughter happy even though Bahar himself knows the bitter reality that his daughter will experience later but at this time Bahar can not do anything to save his daughter.

"I wanted to pick you up at home, but you refused" said Panji, who is currently in a small park on the outskirts of their village.

"There's something I want to say to Panji and I don't want to say this at home" Zara said.

"What do you want to say? something happy or sad?" ask Panji with the look of the face of the temple of sumringah, hiding sadness as if understanding what Zara will say.

"Mas Panji wishes what?" zara asked while refraining from crying even though her eyes were already heating up wanting to cry.

"Of course I wish for something divisive, like when can my family and I come to your house for our official proposal?

"I told my parents long before I proposed to you that night, and my parents agreed that I would marry you.

"So is that what you're trying to say? have you got a day when my family and I can come?" asked Panji expectantly making Zara finally unable to hold back her tears until finally He cried in front of Panji.

"What's wrong? is that not you, brother? sorry I was wrong."

Zara shook her head disapprovingly, "I'm the wrong one, I'm sorry."

Zara picked up the red velvet box that was in her bag, a box that contained the gift ring from the Panji as a temporary binding sign between them.

With trembling hands, Zara returned the ring to the Panji.

"I'm sorry, I can't accept a proposal.

"I've been betrothed by my parents."
