The Chased Heaven

Living Room

The sound of alarm woke Zulfa from his sleep, the blanket that covered his body he removed to the side regardless of the blanket falling on the floor. Zulfa sat his body, took oxygen to fill his brain and slowly opened his eyes.

Zulfa scanned the surroundings, this was still his room nothing different from before. His little hour showed four o'clock in the morning time for dawn prayer. Slow footsteps with messy clothes are typical Zulfa when waking up in the morning.

Surprisingly, the bathroom lights that were in her room had lit up made the girl wonder, especially with two toothbrushes that were on the edge of her sink.

"When have I had two toothbrushes?" ask yourself then shrug indifferently.

Zulfa rushed to pick up the face in his closet and strangely again he found some men's clothes "Why is father's shirt here?".

The dawn prayer of the two prayers he did then continued by reading the Quran. Zulfa thought for a moment that there was something strange in her room, she guessed what was really going on.

"Astagfirullah, I'm married" he was shocked then quickly tidied up the prayer mat and put it back in the closet. With a quick movement Zulfa put on the hijab and went down.

"Mother!. mother!" get Zulfa from up there.

Aulia who was shocked because Zulfa shouted from above immediately approached her son "What's the Fa, calm down first".

"Dad, mother. mas Yusuf, mas Yusuf".

Everyone in the kitchen stared at Zulfa, rather, at Zulfa withholding his laughter. Zulfa who was shocked as everyone gathered at the dining table looked at him. Zulfa was embarrassed, completely embarrassed she was screaming in confusion because a man let alone a man who made her worry did not look at her at all.

"I'm sorry, early in the morning has made a scene" said Zulfa then approached the mother and uminya who were preparing food for breakfast. Zulfa hit his head, he was really embarrassed, why could he be this reckless.

"Oh Fa, why are you suddenly going downstairs screaming?" ask the mother while pouring tea into a cup.

"Haha, it's not like Aulia's name is also a newlywed maybe Zulfa's son was surprised to be left by Joseph for a while".

"Ohh... Is it the Fa?" ask Aulia and get a coil from Zulfa.

"She's embarrassed" Fara added and Aulia laughed. Zulfa said his mother was very compact when mocking him. Zulfa took a tray containing fruit and brought it to the dining table.

When he wanted to sit, all the seats were filled when he wanted to sit next to his father.

"Son Zulfa why stand here, sitting next to Joseph".

Zulfa nodded and walked in doubt. She hesitantly pulled out a chair and sat down next to the man who was now her husband. Cangung that is what Zulfa feels today, the man next to him is even busy playing a cellphone.

"Yusuf left your hp to eat".

Joseph looked at his ashes and sighed "Good bi".

"Don't be fierce with my son-in-law Li, maybe he's busy with his job".

Ali sighed tiredly "He's your son-in-law Qih, once he thought work would forget everything. So your son has to be patient with my son on this one".

"That's great, if told to eat really hard. If not leptop yes hp, astagfirullah".

"Your job is now to look after Joseph Fa, watch him. And Joseph's patient son Zulfa was his son spoiled and crybaby so most of them succumbed" said Aulia.

"Mother" Zulfa reluctantly tells his disgrace. Actually not a disgrace but he was embarrassed if others found out that he was spoiled and a whiny girl.

"Yes mother, I will be patient with Zulfa" Yusuf said with confidence.

This breakfast is the first breakfast for Zulfa in married status. His family and Joseph's family were very familiar looking warm and happy. Moreover, Zulfa now got a new mother who loved him very much, he was grateful even though he did not love Joseph.

This morning, Ali and Fara will leave for their home while Yusuf and Zulfa will move into their house tomorrow at the request of Zulfa's mother and father.

"Let's go in" Yusuf asked Zulfa and left the girl standing on the porch. Zulfa followed Joseph from behind like a chick following its mother. Follow wherever Joseph went, when he was in the kitchen, in the room, and in the living room.

"Why stand, sit here" said Yusuf patting the sofa next to him.

"Yes".

Only the sound of tv was heard in the guest room, Zulfa's father went to work while his mother went to the market with her fellow tourists.

Come Fa find a topic to chat with, Zulfa thought as she bit her thumb nail. When Zulfa wanted to open his voice, Joseph asked first about him and made Zulfa flutter.

"Aren't you in college?".

"No, one week off" he answered honestly.

"If Joseph didn't work?"

Joseph rubbed Zulfa's hair angrily "I'm taking a day off".

"Oh" said Zulfa understand "What work?".

"You don't know what I do?".

Plain Zulfa bell, "I'm the same preacher open a restaurant".

"God, Zulfa just found out".

"That's Yusuf ustad?" asked Zulfa and got a nod from Joseph.

"You're lo, same marriage people don't know its origin. If you marry as unemployed as you try".

Zulfa shook his head "I'm not going to get married in the same way, because what? because the father will marry his son to the best man of his choice".

Yusuf pinched Zulfa's nose, "Such a Pinter answered".

"Mas.." call Zulfa closer to her husband.

"Yes?".

"Sorry Zulfa, could not give Zulfa's property to Joseph. Zulfa was afraid, Zulfa was not ready sorryin Zulfa mas. Joseph can be the law of Zulfa".

"You're talking about the Fa, I respect your decision. I'll be patient waiting for you to be ready, now shut up and watch tv. This is my favorite show to show".

Zulfa laughed at Joseph's words as a child, and Joseph saw Zulfa's laughter smiling, and he drew his wife's body closer together to be embraced. Unknowingly Joseph and Zulfa were fast asleep, Zulfa leaning on Joseph's shoulders hugging his husband's belly while Joseph leaned on his wife's head.

Aulia who came home surprised by a rare event like this, she had time to capture this moment and sent it to her husband and Joseph's family. Aulia then took a blanket to cover her two children and left the living room in a calm state.
