Only Zi

They're my best friends

Shinta, a ducky duck things appearance, different 180 degrees from Ina, with shoulder-length hair that is always tied, hobby using a box shirt and t-shirt inside, t-shirts inside, then the sneakers that never want to exchange positions with other types of shoes even though he wears kebaya though, tetaaaapp consistent sneakers that are worn.

He majored in Architecture like Zi, the reason is quite reasonable, because his parents are masters of materials, at least things that smell of building materials Shinta is not so blind, enough for the capital of knowledge that is not how much.

When compared with his two best friends, yes Zi is the simplest child of his economic condition, but that reason does not make him discouraged from pursuing dreams, he said, a dream to make both parents and those around him happy.

Girl with yellow skin, nose not too sharp, height 160 cm, with a weight of only 50 Kg is often a byword among friends and school teachers none other than because of intelligence, beauty and polite attitude.

Iqbal young man with a shady face, handsome, not too high, came from a simple family like Zi, Iqbal Pun studied in Jakarta majoring in Architecture and got a scholarship like Zi.

Having an older sister and younger sister, although both parents only worked as farmers, but they could grow well, amidst the warmth of the family.

Jakarta

They finally reached their respective rooms, their room positions slightly apart because the rest of the other rooms had been fully filled.

This is what makes both parents of Zi Ketar ketir reluctant to release his daughter, given the association of young people today, let alone the association in the big city that makes parents shake their heads to shudder in horror, until finally Father Zi plunged directly to find a boarding place that felt the safest for his daughter.

This boarding place is specifically for women, with curfew rules that all boarding children must follow, or if not the consequences are to get out of that boarding place, or if not the consequences are to get out of that boarding place, because the owner does not want to bear the burden of sin, if their boarding children do nothing in the rented rooms, or hang out too freely while out of boarding, causing them to go home.

Zi was silent for a moment staring at the boarding room which 4-5 years in the future will be a living witness to his struggle to achieve dreams. There were only 1 single mattress, wardrobe, water dispenser and a simple bathroom, but most importantly Zi felt safe and comfortable.

Kriiiiiiing.. “Eh phone mother..”.

“Assalaamu’alaikum Bu.."

“Wa’alaikumussalaam Wr.Wb”

“How's Nak, arrived?” Mother began to make sure the state of the child is just his puppet

“Alhamdulillaah Zi has arrived safely, without the slightest abrasions of Bu hihi”

“Thank God..Alhamdulillahot.. I just send a message not to forget to eat,

If prayers and tilawah* no longer need to remind you again right, the child Mother is already big also”

“Iya Bu Insya Allah ya Bu. kan Zi has an automatic alarm Mom when it comes to matters of the stomach

The sound of his stomach likes to be unmitigated, likes to make shame hihi..

“Yes thank goodness then, the problem is that if you do not regularly eat, continue to get sick, then,

later how to learn well, where mom can not accompany you there”

Mom started sobbing

“Udah ya Bu do not be sad so, later Zi even go crying.

Zi promised all her might to maintain her health in order to quickly finish Zi's lecture,

then can make Daddy and Ibu” happy

“Aamiin Son..Father and Mother must do’ you continue, son,

your clothes certainly not much right, where the models are the usual models, so,

standard clothes in the village, you will not be okay to wear modest clothes first.

You're not gonna be ashamed, son?

Even though the mother is a tailor, sorry, son, I can't make it yet

or buy a nice shirt for you”

“Ya Forgive Mom. If you don't have to worry, Zi right on campus does not want to show off clothes, and Zi is also not the type of person who is easily inferior just because of clothes, but also because of her, just calm down, Mom.. I trust that problem with Zi, anyway the clothes that Zi has are also not ugly very Bu..”

“Ya I've calmed down then, I close the phone first,

pinter-pinter take care of yourself, son.. Assalaamu’alaikum”

“Ya Ma'am.. Wa’alaikumussalaam Wr..

Zi sighed, feeling how much her parents loved and worried about her child. He began to move to the bathroom because of the afternoon he had promised with his two friends to find food while looking for room supplies that were not yet available.

They go to the nearest supermarket looking for room supplies and daily necessities needed, just looking for dinner that can relieve the sound of their stomach.

“Starting today we seem to have to get used to the hot air here yes, drastic difference with in the village” Shinta began to wag hands in front of his face.

“Aduuuh is right, you try to imagine, just now I have taken a bath three times, did not feel finished bathing at all” Ina began chiming, while flickering her pink fan can

“Already been grateful yes, actually I was the most unusual with hot air, but it's okay this is part of our struggle, which we can tell later to our grandchildren hehe.” Zi began to answer while shaking his hijab a little

“Iya ih Zi, where you recently wore the hijab, imagined definitely more sultry kan” Ina began to snitch

“God willing is the same, the heat is the same as you feel, anyway hijab I am also not a material that makes more heat, quite add-plus reward”

“Iya deh yes Bu haji do’ us quickly Insyaf also yes.” Their conversation stopped when their dinner came, which was pecel catfish with his signature chili, and the food was toilet immediately eaten by girls who had just set foot in this big city.

*****

Today Zi plans to go to campus a little early in the morning, she wants to know the ins and outs of the campus first in order to maximize all the facilities on the campus, the other two friends are planned to follow, he said, because they still want to dwell in dreamland he said.

Zi began to be in the campus courtyard, when it was still at 7 am, the campus courtyard still looked quiet because it was Saturday, but there were some activities there.

Zi stared at the tall building the second time staring with a meaningful gaze after the first visit, as she took care of the re-enrollment on her campus.
