The Chosen Heart

Episode 117's

Badrun came on time. They arrived at the cottage shortly after the pilgrims had just performed the magrib prayer.

Several invited guests, as well as alumni began to arrive. Some of them had intentionally arrived early. Usually, the alumni who come from outside the city, even outside Java.

The news of Zahra's marriage made them in droves to want to participate in the Ning marriage. Moreover, the figure of Zahra's prospective companion is still a mystery at that time.

It was only on H day that the alumni and the invitees found out. If Surya is chosen by Kyai Jauhari who will accompany his daughter.

The pros and cons are starting to sound. The figure of Surya who is considered not a Gus, made some alumni disappointed. However, not many of them strongly approve of the marriage. Because even though Surya is open to Gus, he has equal quality among the Gus.

He studied the yellow books for several months. But he could quickly master the books. He is also very flexible, especially the wirai santri are very helped by the arrival of Surya in the cottage.

He facilitates the methods of santri learning. A little lightening, but also provide firmness in the rules in pesantren.

Not just a lesson about religion. Surya taught me something else. He brought the santri to also think about skills, developing their talents. So, not only about religion, but also the ability of society also began to be applied.

''Zahra!'' Zahwa.

She ran a little, just now she heard that Zahra had come. He who was talking with Zahra's relatives immediately picked up his future sister-in-law.

They immediately embraced haru. Not expecting, if soon they will officially become a sister and sister.

''For a long time, I was worried about you." Zahwa.

''Huh. I'm sorry, but I've brought it.'' Reply Zahra with a big smile.

''Sister or Ma'am?'' Zahwa Goda.

Zahra blushed in shame. Someone came and said Zahra had to hurry inside. Perias had been waiting for him from earlier.

The guests and some of the students saw Zahra's arrival and immediately greeted him. Ask him for baroque.

Kyai Jauhari just got off the mosque. He was happy not to be upset, when he saw his daughter had arrived home.

Not waiting long Zahra directly sungkem on his brother . Hugging him, spilling a deep longing.

Everyone around them was moved to see Abah and her daughter shed their longing. No other, no not Surya was also standing watching them.

Zahra realized that. The two exchanged looks. But then, turn each other away. For a second their eyes met, making their hearts flutter.

There was a whistle from one of the santri when the eyes of Zahra and Surya met. The santri cheered him.

''You came quickly because of Abah's orders or because there was another reason?''

''Change_''

Zahra blushed.

''Come. We're going to Dhalem.Your army is waiting."

Zahra nodded. Kyai took her daughter into the house. There the brothers, were waiting for him.

''I want to talk to you a lot. But it doesn't seem to be able to. Be prepared." Zahwa said he whispered with Zahra, before he asked for his resignation.

Ijab Qobul event in retreat after Isya prayer'. Because of the large number of invited guests, even enslaved unlike years ago.

Zahwa was confused while looking for her husband. Just a moment ago, Hanan asked Zahwa to meet her. But, Zahwa's busyness that helped with the wedding preparations made her almost forget the request of her husband.

While passing through the crowd of princesses, Zahwa realized that they were gossiping. They were fussing over a man who was leaning against the barrier gate of the princess cottage.

He was like a prince who had just come down from the throne. However, the prince did not wear the typical noble clothes. He was only wearing a navy blue suit with a pure white Hem alloy.

''Ya Alloh guanteng. Masya Alloh, perfect.'' Santri princess's comments.

''I thought she was the bride-to-be." Reply to the tenant in front of him.

''Yes, wear a white Daleman Hem suit. Similar gloves. Well, I can't dream of having a husband like him."

''Hus, don't that I want to either."

''But it looks like he's waiting for someone"

Zahwa was curious about the figure and wanted to know the figure of the man they were talking about. He flipped over some of the princess santri to be able to see that figure.

And so astonished when he found out who they meant.

''Mas Hanan.

He's shaking his head. Her husband fought without sin. Lean on the gate and play his fingers.Not aware if many eyes are looking at him.

Hanan sensed Zahwa's presence. He smiled at her. Without a care, many santri were also around Zahwa who was staring at him . However, his eyes seemed to be fixed on his wife.

Zahwa awkwardly walked over. Make another rumour he's among the santri.

''What's up? Why don't you take Surya's sister," Zahwa pulled her husband's hand behind the gate. Avoid the gaze of students and alumni.

''Huh. We've been working all day. What's wrong if I call you.''

Zahwa gulped. Somehow, maybe the effect of the syndrome on him. Her husband wants to be spoiled. He doesn't want to be away from her.

''I'm fine. Really. Soon the event starts better you are with the other invitees, or you are close to your brother. He must be looking for you" Zahwa said.

Hanan snorted in annoyance. He had long been waiting for Zahwa's arrival. When we met, he was told to leave.

''Just a moment. After Ijab qobul we meet again. I'll tail behind you" Zahwa persuaded.

''Really?''

''Suer !''

Zahwa showed two index and middle fingers. Hanan.

''Don't be tired of you. Remember, you are pregnant. I am the one who is healthy and you are healthy. But stay on guard, don't pacing. Do not lift heavy things. Shut up, just sit down.'' Hana's Message

Hanan just wanted to make sure that Zahwa was okay. He knows his wife, he will do anything for the happiness of others. Sacrificing him he did easily especially about preparing his brother's wedding.

He will be happy to plunge directly prepare all the needs. As much as possible can stop everything.

''Yeah, I'm out of this break. You don't have to worry.'' Reply Zahwa, she pinched her husband's cheek. Her husband is so sweet.

It's not wrong if many people stick to him. Seeing his figure alone many eyes stunned, especially in addition to knowing his personality. It will be more enchanted.

''By the way, my wife is beautiful tonight. If it wasn't for the cottage I'd take you straight to the room. It doesn't feel good if a lot of people are looking at you."

Hana approaches Zahwa. But Zahwa hurriedly brushed it off. There, not only them. A lot of people run around them.

It's true that tonight she looks beautiful. With a sea blue brocade gambier combination of Ruby fabric with a stacking design and also a matching belt to tie his waist. Makes her feel like she is dancing while walking.

''It's just you who are like that. You are not aware?when you stood there were many pairs of eyes that were looking at you. They are fascinated to see you, admire you, even pray want a partner like you.'' Reply Zahwa. He's sulking.

A little jealousy was hunting her heart. Recalling the conversation of some students that he accidentally heard.

''Let them be disappointed. Because there is only one Hanan in the world and it belongs to Zahwa."

Huh! Zahwa blushed in shame and haru blue. Her husband had not said such a thing for a long time.

Adzan's voice blew their eyes. Soon the Isya prayer congregation will begin, and after that Ijab qobul event.

''Come on, there go. Soon it will be directly Iqomah. Jama'ah there!'' Get rid of Zahwa, push her husband a little.

''Huh. Still miss, kiss.'' Manja Hanan.

''Guah..."

Zahwa gives a distant kiss to her husband. Then back into the area santri putri. Make Hanan can not pursue it because it is not allowed men to enter the area.
