OMG 2'S
A LOVE OF ZULFA
Zulfa Khumairah is the only child in her family. The 22-year-old sweet girl works as a saleswoman at a cake shop in Bandung. He has been working for almost three years. He started working since graduating from High School.
Aaron, Zulfa's father, died a long time ago. His mother, Alifah, was married again to a widower with two children. From that marriage, they had a son.
After graduating High School, Zulfa entrusted Alifah to live with his grandmother in Bandung. Karwati is the biological mother of Zulfa's late father. It was in that city that Zulfa lived and began to work.
After being busy with his new family, Alifah's relationship with Zulfa began to stretch. Even the name of the blood relationship will never have its limits. When she was lonely, Zulfa felt like an orphan girl who was abandoned and excluded from her family. However, he tried to stay strong and worked hard to support himself and his grandmother.
"Neng, are you going to work yet?" ask Karwati.
"Yes, Grandma."
"Have you had breakfast, hasn't it?"
"Neng doesn't eat breakfast, Grandma. Fasting."
"O yes already" Karwati smiled.
Zulfa then grabbed Karwati's palm and kissed her.
"The ring is leaving, Grandma. This is a little money for Grandma. Scared Grandma's gonna buy anything."
Zulfa gave me a piece of blue paper money.
"Thank you, Neng. But the money from yesterday is still there."
While smiling, Zulfa left Karwati.
"Asalaminophen ...."
Karwati smiled and replied to Zulfa's greeting. He then prayed for his grandson that today's activities be given smoothness by the Almighty.

Zulfa is a young girl who is sweet and behaves gracefully. The strength of religious knowledge that since childhood was instilled by his late father, he still maintained until adulthood.
Because of his kindness and compassion, Zulfa was well-liked by those who knew him. No wonder so many friends want to be close to him. Be it friends at work, to old friends when still in High School.
Often, Zulfa's friends deliberately look for him to just tell stories and complain. Because he is famous for being honest and good at keeping secrets. If you are lucky, Zulfa can help provide a solution to a problem. However, if he does not find a solution, at least, he can be a friend to share. Yes, he is a good listener and patient.
"Ulfa, you're fasting today, right?" ask Jihan, Zulfa's co-worker.
"Yes. God willing."
"Let's break the fast with me, yeah ...."
"Where are you taking me, Jihan?" Zulfa.
"Oh, Jihan! Make curious."
...***...
About seven minutes before Magrib's prayer, Jihan takes Zulfa to a shop near the cake shop where they work. This shop provides a menu of chicken noodles and meatballs.
After all the ordered menus are presented at the table, magrib time arrives ....
"Goddessa ...."
"Let's eat!" tell Jihan with a smile, "I'm the one who deals" he continued.
"Tumben is so you. But, thank you, yeah ...."
Jihan laughed again. His skin started to blush.
"You why? Happy again, huh?" ask Zulfa.
"Ulfa, you know, no? The solution you said yesterday .. it worked, you know!" jihan said with a cheerful look.
"Which one? What solution am I giving you?"
"Ih! That, you ..." Jihan swallowed her food, then continued her words, "What about Brother Irwan."
"O, Brother Irwan ..." Zulfa managed to remember, "Well what?"
"Yes, yesterday I had the courage to ask him ...."
"Continue?"
"So I got an invitation to the recitation, too" Jihan replied while showing a picture on her phone screen.
"It's Sunday night, right?" ask Zulfa after seeing the picture.
"Yes. You'll come with me there, okay? We're off to school."
"Hm ... Later, deh ... I'll look at the schedule first."
"Usahain, please! Please ... I'm ashamed that there's no peace."
"Yes. God willing."
Not noticeably, a serving of chicken meatball noodles has moved into their stomachs.
