The Chosen Heart

Episode 121

Travel after dhuhur, quite time consuming because of the density of vehicles. Although the three cities that will pass through are not big cities, but quite densely populated. The streets are winding.

Hanan and Zahwa decided not to. Prone to Zahwa who is in early pregnancy. Finally, only two cars went to Trenggalek.

Surya and Zahra first left together after their marriage. However, still with Badrun their driver. Still annoying and also shy.

''Who are we going to? Aunt from Umi or Abah?''

Surya opened the conversation. The journey is still long, but the atmosphere feels gripping. Badrun who was in front several times kepo with Ning and his Gus was. He, glanced towards the rearview mirror to be able to see what they were doing.

But, throughout the journey they were busy alone. Zahra with her phone, Surya with eyes that continue to look forward, sometimes even see the street outside from the car window.

''Aunty, she's my mother's younger sister."

Zahra answered. Still with nervousness, as if he was answering a very difficult question.

''Why didn't yesterday come? Or maybe he's busy?"

Surya is still trying to find an atmosphere. He wanted to return the ungainly Zahra, and also shyly like that. Seeing him like that made him feel awkward.

Bizarrely. They used to be able to spend a lot of time talking. But at this moment, the discussion seemed to disappear from the minds of the two of them. There's a heartbeat they're trying to neutralize.

''Abah said he was sick. In fact, once excited to hear I was getting married. And immediately want to go home. But, I don't know. That's why, we'll see now.'' Answer Zahra. He also tried hard to eliminate his groggy feelings that had been rampant.

Surya looked back. The white Fortuner car was seen following them. In it are Hanif, Abah Zahra and also Hanif's mother. They let Hanif drive the car without a replacement driver.

''Is he not tired?'' Surya.

Zahra followed Surya's eyes looking at the white Fortuner car behind them.

''I mean Mas, Mas Hanif?'' Ask Zahra.

Surya nodded.

''He used to travel far. If only Jombang - Trenggalek is still not how much. Mas Hanif had traveled Jombang - Jakarta for only 8 hours. And after that, he immediately went to college because that morning he had to present. It happened, repeatedly.'' Answer Zahra.

''Jombang - Jakarta 9 hours? You're Drun? Ever set a record?'' Ask Surya defiantly.

''If you can do it yourself, Gus. But if it's Abah, I don't dare." Answer Badrun.

Since Surya officially became Zahra's husband. Badrun and other students changed Surya's call. And, start sungkem ta'dzim at him.

The nickname is like a reminder of the responsibilities of the jaw. The nicknames Ning and Gus are not frills because they are the son or daughter of a kyai and Bu nyai only. But also to always make him remember if he is the beginning of an example of the many santri.

Many Ning and Gus became the idols of the santri. They assume that it's a simple, cool thing they're descended from Kyai and Bu nyai. But behind it all they are required to be perfect. Either in terms of religious science, formal and also other skills.

Rarely does anyone know about their life

Behind the principle that you are the son of a cleric. Some of them have to give up their freedom, bury their ideals, and also be willing to devote their lives to others.

''Don't call me Gus to drun. Just hang me." Denying Surya.

''Akhlak Kulo ical kike Gus lek mboten ngoten . (My Akhlak will disappear later if it is not like that)'' Badrun said.

''It's.drun-drun,''

Akhlak and also his behavior has reflected santri. It was one of the things that made Zahra fall in love with him.

His smile, his body gesture, especially the look in his shady eyes. I don't know, since when did she start loving the man next to her. Either since when , she began to make sholawat so that she would become her husband later and Allah has granted it.

''Hai, why? Is there something on my face?''

Surya shook his palm in front of Zahra's face. Ah, he's flirting. Directly subdued his gaze.

''The kang? Are we almost there?'' Ask Zahra. He shifted the situation.

Embarrassed. I looked at Surya's face deeply. Ah, it shouldn't be wrong. After all, she was already her husband. Entirely yours. Let alone looking, holding, stroking and also enjoying his body it is a worship for him.

''Soon Ning.'' Answer Badrun.

Zahra. Not because of Badrun's answer. But something touched his waist. He glanced towards his waist, a circular hand. And deliberately made his body shift closer to the body beside him.

''Why ''Why? Now get used to something like this.'' Solar Whispers.

Zahwa stiffened, his chest pounding. He was not used to this change. Surya smiled sweetly close to his face.

His breath could be felt by Zahra. He had no strength to resist, that face was so alluring to him. Several times in Zahra's heart. Will this be the beginning in the story, the love of her marriage?

Surya is enjoying the scent of Zahra. Apparently, the scent of his wife made him tempted and found out, several times his wife was stealing his eyes.

Adorable, he has a nature of shame and self-awareness. Surya remembered the night of their bride. Zahra timidly allowed herself to touch him. He did not talk much just his giragat only that can be directly known to Surya if he had resigned to surrender himself.

''Assalamualaikum, It's arrived.'' Badrun said he looked at the two of them by covering his face but between the thumb and forefinger left gaping. Showing his eyeballs.

Zahra and Surya instantly took a distance. Surya patted Badrun's head with a peci that he had taken off.

''Ngapunten Gus. Khilaf!'' Badrun said, clenching his hands together. And mindfulness.

Zahra got out of the car. He was embarrassed to have to discuss the incident just now. Approaching Abah, pretend to ask if the trip is okay?

''You are strange to nduk. Abah's car was right behind you. You ask, okay, what? Means from earlier you didn't notice us nduk ?"

Kyai Jauhari even made Zahra die of fleas. His face was all red and all laughed at Zahra's misbehavior.

''The world belongs to both. Don't ask Zahra uncle, ask Badrun. He's a living witness now.'' Said Hanif.

All eyes were on Badrun.

''Mboten mboten Yai, Gus Kulo mboten ningali nopo. Estu , but _ (No, not Yai, Gus . I don't see anything. Really, It's just_" Badrun stopped talking. He glanced at Surya who already wanted to pounce on him. Looking at Zahra, who was already glaring at him.

''Nganu Yai's. Kulo ajreh cerios (That's yai, I'm afraid of the story)''' continued Badrun spindle.

It made them all laugh. Except for Zahra and Surya who are increasingly looking to hit him.

''Come already. We continue inside, already in wait.'' The Bu Nyai Asih. Mother of Hanif.

He is the younger brother of Kyai Jauhari. Not so old, but wirai. He doesn't care much about the world. Only, worship worship and worship in his mind.
