The Chosen Heart

Episode 111

''What's up?why are you here?'' Ask Hanan. He came down the stairs with Zahwa.

In front of him Aldian was sitting on his back to them. He was eating voraciously, like a few days without eating.

Hanan and Zahwa approached him. Surprised to see Aldian in such a miserable state. His face was pale, his eyes were marsupial, his cheeks were thin, and also his body was starting to be thin. He's like he's not taken care of.

''What's wrong with you? Why, did you get like this?'' Ask Hanan. He was concerned to see his secretary.

''How else boss? You're not in the office, your brother isn't there either. I was there alone. And look, I'm starving, I can't sleep with so much work on my mind. Every day I come home overtime, not to mention the clients, they're like blood-thirsty vampires. Pointing me to finish the order immediately.'' Aldian replied.

Hanan and Zahwa looked at each other. Aldian has worked hard. Until he's exhausted.

''Alright Aldian. You can take a few days off, I'll take a job at the office. You can also ask anything for salary and bonuses from the company.'' Hanan.

''Really? I finally got a vacation. I'm going to Turkey, I want to travel around Asia too. With the beautiful women!" Aldian

''Skkckck...That's overkill Hanan said.

''You said I could ask for anything.'' Aldian said back to weld.

''I will give you that gift, but it is not yet time. You can take a few days off. But Surya and I are going to Abah yai Jauhari's cabin tomorrow. And it'll probably be a few days there.'' Terang Hanan's.

Aldian lowered his body limply. He was only on vacation for a few days and then went back to work like yesterday again.

''Ahhh! No, I can die if I live like that again.'' Aldian.

''I thank you Aldian. You've worked hard for us. I'll ask my friend to accompany you, he just graduated from college this year. He's an expert in architecture. He will be very helpful" Zahwa said.

''Who's up?" Ask Aldian.

Zahwa noticed a photo of a woman from her cell phone. Aldian's eyes that had been gloomy, immediately opened wide to see the photo that was plastered in front of him.

''She's Adelia, my underclassman. He was very talented, before he continued his studies abroad. I'll ask him to be your secretary. Help you, to finish your work." Zahwa Word .

''I can ask for his phone number, I'll call him myself.'' Ask Aldian.

''Just say it if you are Mas Hanan's secretary. He'll recognize you immediately." Answer Zahwa.

''OK. Then I can get more work spirit. All the interns, nothing interesting. And I'm bored there.'' Aldian said.

''Do you want to work or find a real girl? Don't tarnish my name by teasing them all." Denying Hanan.

''I work, so hard. You see for yourself my current condition. But, if there is someone around me who can make me excited it will make me work even harder.'' Aldian.

Hanan looked at Zahwa. He disagrees with the way Zahwa hired his friend to help Aldian. Not because they doubt their performance. But, he did not really trust his secretary that much. Could not work, even dating.

''Quiet - calm down.'' Zahwa said softly to Hanan. He could not be heard by Aldian.

''Oh yes. Your brother said, are you sick boss?" Ask Aldian.

''It's better, just a tad.'' Answer Hanan. It is also impossible that he said he was cravings. Can be finished in the bully and laugh later with his secretary.

"But boss, why do you want to go to the residence kyai Jauhari. Is there a problem?'' Ask Aldian.

''Surya's brother will marry there.'' Answer Hanan

''What ''What! Your brother Surya is getting married? This big news you guys are hiding?'' Seru Aldian was surprised .

''Then how to?" Ask Hanan ordinary. He drank the tea served by Bik Asih.

''You two. I have money, but why? none of you want to hold a wedding reception.'' Reply Aldian.

''After this marriage. We'll have a reception together. You will also prepare it.'' Hanan.

''Me again?''

''Again?'' Hanan asked, she had not known that at all either.

''Yes, you are the one who handed over all the vendors to me. Now I ask Adelia, to take care of it all.'' Answer Zahwam

''OK. Whatever.'' Hanan's Resignation.

''Alright. With pleasure.'' Aldian was happy.

She was enamored with Adelia at first sight. Woman with round face with dimples that spoil her sweet face. Makes anyone who stares unsaturated to look.

''I am full. I'm going home, but please bring me something to eat. Have mercy, I am this virgin.''

''Brother, get me some food to bring Aldian home.'' Ask Zahwa.

Bik Asih immediately prepare food according to zahwa's request. It was only after that, Aldian pamit and said if he would vacation a few days.

Zahras. In front of his room pavilion he paced back and forth restlessly. His brother Yai Jauhari some time ago called him. He said he would be paired with the man he had chosen.

No power to refuse anymore. This is the man who has been offered to her so many times. But somehow, his usual brother according to him this time did not want to hear a word of rebuttal from him.

''I don't even know him. How can I love him. Yes Alloh, only you can help me.'' His complaint.

When he was really nervous. Suddenly he was thrown a small stone from below. Zahra was curious and saw who dared to throw him with a stone.

''Downstairs. Here!'' Hanif shouted from under his apartment.

''What's up? why are the nights like this.'' Kesal Zahra . She was thinking about herself, but now her brother was bothering her.

''If he's here because of Abah's emissary . I'll leave her right away.'' Kesal Zahra .

After that Zahra went straight down. Meeting Hanif.

The air was very cold, to go to the front yard only. They must wear layers of clothing.

''What's up?'' Chirping Zahra.

''Nih. I brought the kebab, Hanif handed Zahra a white crackle. It contains a large kebab. That's already Zahra's favorite meal list after London .

''Thank you.'' said Zahra

''In a few days we go home . Why are you angry?'' Ask Hanif. He invited Zahra to sit on a bench near the Trees in front of the Apartment.

''You know all '', but still think it's normal.'' Attack Zahra.

''What I know 'is not the same as what Allah knows Zahra.'' said Hanif.

Zahra looked at Hanif lekat. Why did he suddenly say that?

''That you are already old . It's only natural that he asks you to marry me. You have been given the freedom to do what you want. You also know how our family really is Zahra. None of our families are out of the path of pesantren.'' Hanif.

''They are all fighting for religion . Building pesantren, Diniyah school, TPA, Mosque. Their wealth, knowledge and soul are devoted to religion. There's nothing else. Only you and I are out of the zone.'' Added Hanif.

''Everyone has wings. This is how I fly it. Am I wrong?'' ask Zahra . He began to shed his sorrow.

''But that doesn't mean you forgot about him who taught you to fly. He who releases you, enjoys the air you desire. If it's time to go home, why not? k

We have a home to return to, don't we?''

Hanif made Zahra nervous. Not only comforting or giving advice he even cornered himself. As if what happened was his own fault.

Doesn't love breathe for itself?blowing the love he wanted. Was he just going to dream all along? Get someone he loves. Is that really impossible for its creator.
