Shahadat Love Zakia

Chapter 9

Zakia sat by the pond containing ornamental fish that have beautiful colors, around which there are also countless pigeons. the atmosphere of Cemara asri in the afternoon is often crowded visitors especially on this weekend.it has been more than an hour Zakia waiting, but people who later do not show the trunk of his nose.

Zakia who feel a little bored choose to buy food for ornamental fish in front of him to release his satiety.

"Hey baby, sorry for the long wait" said Maira hugging Zakia from behind making the owner of the body slightly jerked

"Can it be Mai, you are if you don't wear it for long? I almost moss here waiting for you" Zakia chirps with her best friend who is always not on time

But as usual, Maira did not heed the Omelette of Zakia, She sat down next to him and displayed her sweet smile making Zakia speechless. Maira is very good at taking her heart

Zakia and Maira enjoy the afternoon by eating their favorite food. Zakia told Maira about her dream, because she felt Maira was the right person to ask her to tell her Maira was a good woman of her religion and had extensive knowledge according to Zakia

"Hm. Allah greets your heart in such a way, it is only the elect that Allah guides and one of them is you" Maira said with teary eyes

Zakia was silent for a moment to hear Maira's words, was it possible that his direction was addressed to her? But how could Zakia turn away from her Lord whom she had been worshipping with her family

"There is no need to rush Za, I know you must be still hesitant and confused, give yourself time to accept it naturally without coercion from anyone" continued Maira stroked gently on the back of her best friend

The twilight wind blew slowly, the sunlight that was about to enter the contest spread a sad atmosphere, red and yellow blazing like a golden glint of jewels. Part of his light stroked the face of Zakia's ayu, he again waited for Maira who was performing Maghrib prayers in the nearby mushalla in the area.

Tonight is the sixth night Zakia sets foot in the mosque adjacent to her residence. Zakia was already getting used to entering his and sitting in his usual place he noticed the people praying and also reciting the Koran. But when he was about to exit Zakia stopped when a man dressed neatly and also wearing a peci on his head greeted him and walked towards him standing

"Assalamualaikum" he said kindly

Zakia who was feeling confused had to reply with how could only nod her head

"Sorry to interrupt, there's actually something I'd like to ask. Do you mind if I sit down for a while? after all, here there are still many study mothers so do not be afraid" he said by displaying a friendly smile

Once again Zakia nodded again, signifying that he approved of her

"Before may I know what his name is?"

"Zakia" replied Zakia slowly

"I am not a Muslim or rather not yet.I am on my way there, I am studying it just that I still want to linger to understand myself first, I don't want to be in a hurry to choose something that can affect my life later." said Zakia lowered her head

"Am I not allowed to come here anymore?" Zakia asked with a sad look on her face, for some reason her heart was suddenly sad when she found out that maybe after this she would not be allowed to come again

the man smiled hearing himself called ustadz by Zakia. "Raihan, just call Raihan"

"But yesterday I saw ustadz filling the study here, and many mothers here call ustadz. so it's not appropriate if I call it by name alone" declined Zakia softly

"MasyaAllah, so are you studying here as well? move if you are sure of this Islamic Religion, but keep in mind also do not have to rush to learn slowly there will be no one to forbid you to come here. Even if there is something you want to know later you can ask me" Raihan said sincerely

Not feeling the time is so fast passing, Zakia mengapah himself wants to quickly lay his body on his beloved bed. Zakia looked at the ceiling of her room, and now she knew that her direction had touched her heart. Zakia is confident in his choice even whatever the consequences will be faced Zakia

early in the morning Zakia was wearing neat clothes, today he planned to go to Fahmi's house to visit at once to ask for help from Fahmi's parents. despite the misunderstanding that occurred some time ago between him and Fahmi, now they agree to both forget about it and return to friendship as usual although it might not be easy at first.

Zakia had thought everything over, Zakia intended to ask Fahmi's parents for help to accompany him, because Ustadz Raihan said there should be someone to accompany and be a witness later. Zakia immediately remembered that only Fahmi's parents were very close to him in the city of Medan

"Hopefully not to meet Aunt Yuli" Zakia's inner being told that Fatimah's mother's sister had never liked her

Zakia arrives at Fahmi's house with a parcel in her hand, this is not the first time for her. But Zakia feels a little awkward in because it has been a long time since her relationship with Fahmi a little tenuous

"Again" said Zakia kindly, greeting Fahmi who was busy cleaning his yard.Hahmi has become a routine to clean up during holidays like this

"In the morning, you also just wanted me to pick up apparently already here first, good so not exhausted my motor oil" continued Fahmi who actually got a hard punch landed on his shoulder making him grimace

"Ck, very light hands" he said, stroking the shoulder of Zakia's former hand

"Where's mom?" Ask Zakia without caring about Fahmi who is still busy with his activities

"Inside, I called out" Fahmi said, grunting angrily at the woman who had not changed at all

Zakia sat while looking at the plants that he had always cared for with Fahmi. The flower now grows into beautiful flowers, but not as beautiful as its relationship with Fahmi. Zakia was a little stunned given her fond memories, but she quickly brushed off her sadness because her heart was fine
