The Chosen Heart

The Chosen Heart
Episode 62



In the office lobby Surya and Zahra go hand in hand . There were some jokes between their conversations. Occasionally office employees who happen to cross paths with them greet and then leave behind facial expressions of question marks and curiosity.


"We sit there,"


Surya pointed towards the long table with a row of chairs facing him. In front of him a giant glass presents a view of the sky that stretches and also a towering building.


"I love this part of your office, Mom." Zahra said she enjoyed it. His eyes sparkled in amazement at the blue sky.


"In this design so that employees can be more free to expose their thoughts. If you just sit at the table and the other rooms, they'll be bored."


Zahra. It turned out that his friend's sister was thinking of others as well. If other bosses might pursue their jobs how. But Surya instead authorizes his employees to work casually in his office.


"So what made you look for me?" Ask Surya


"Anu Mas_Abah yesterday said that if only I didn't mind. I want to help develop our pesantren." Answer Zahra. He hesitated a little to make his point.


Her brother had been looking for someone to help develop their pesantren . While he himself could not help completely because soon he had to continue his studies in Londen. Some people did have time to believe but either Abahnya still lacking Sreg.


Until finally after that night, where he met at the house of Hanan and Surya. His heart said that Surya could help him develop his pesantren.


He saw there was a light within Surya that no ordinary person could see. He may not be an Al Azhar alumnus. But he also went to college in Cairo too, his habits and adab in the same definitely fused in him.


Zahra hesitated at first. Surya has been so mature in his world where it might be wrapped in a pesantren environment that in fact wong ndeso. But his brother convinced himself that Surya was not who he thought he was. Maybe he would even be happy to get that chance. That made Zahra give herself to offer him.


" Masha Alloh. Is it worth me to be there Ra I never go overboard at all."


Surya was aghast, did not expect that he got such a noble offer. He had always wanted two pesantrens but never had a chance. His parents asked him to stay in the dormitory while in college. Fear , if later when he lives in the boarding school and pesantren affairs will clash and eventually nothing will work.


Even so when in Cairo he used to be with Al Azhar students. Come with them. What they learn, how they do it and what books they should have. Surya asked. And also learn .


"Loh Mas, I don't think even mas would be interested . Abah himself said that Mas would. "


Zahra. Not expecting if Surya even humbled himself and felt inappropriate. And I can tell if he's happy with the offer. Like his brother said.


"I'm afraid to disappoint your Abah. I don't understand the science of Lo pesantren. "


Surya was doubtful. Although Zahra has said that his brother believes he can. But pesantren is a new thing later. If it's just a hut there maybe he's still capable. But this he immediately gave a disturbing answer to develop. How could he? As for obtaining a fertile plant he must know how to take care of it. Not Sukur plant it.


"When you're there, Abah will teach you."


Zahra added more confidence. He's the guy up front who can accept science quickly. Moreover, there was a strong intent within it.


"Why not your candidate? Do you really have no candidates? "


According to Surya, Zahra is a special type of woman


She is not beautiful, but also her heart. Moreover, she is the daughter of big kyai in her area. Although while living here she looks the same as women in general.


"Walah Mas's. Anybody wants to be with me."


Zahra. Life experiences about friends are not fun. She was like a princess in the pesantrenn kingdom, who was exalted by her many sorceries. But when she comes out of her Zone, it turns out that she is the same ordinary woman in general. Some are more beautiful, clever, deft and noble-hearted.


"Many certainly. You're the one who's picky maybe." Solar


"Haha. It is natural to be picky. Marriage for a lifetime. There was no expected. Even in heaven."


"But, Mas. In reality, no one wants to. Just refuse to fit in bargain Abah for Minang me. Hahaha..."


Zahra laughed, I don't know what it could be like. As if it were a normal thing.


Surya laughed, although in his heart also felt guilty when he immediately rejected Abah Zahra's offer without considering it first.


"You're funny. I refuse even to be a smirk." Surya.


"Occustomed to me. It means it is not a soul mate. I relax. After all, a fool is the destiny of God that has been set since before we were born. It won't be changed. Let's just say we're still an LDR.'' Zahra.


Surya was slapped with Zahra's words. He smiled but his heart was sulking. He had forgotten about it before. That the soul mate has been determined and humans stay striving with hope that their soul mate is the person who will love him and also he loves fully.


"What do you really want to be like?" Surya asked suddenly. The question came without feeling.


Zahra was silent, lightening her laughter. He tapped his forehead as if he was thinking hard.


"Where are you. I actually did not ask for grandiose with Alloh. Sungkan, because I am an ordinary woman. Far from perfect. If I ask for the perfect man, I'm afraid I can't keep up. Well, I can't explain Heheheh..." Answer Zahra.


Surya smiled, Zahra looked worried while thinking like that. I don't know what's in his head but he can't say it.


"Nothing you've liked all this time? What about Hanif. You guys go everywhere together. After all, though brother but not mahrom either, right?" Lontar Surya opened the gap he was like curious about the character Zahra likes.


"Ya Alloh Mas's. Mas Hanif, how could I think I was with Mas Hanif. Mas Hanif must have heard it. Hahaha...''


He laughed so hard he had to keep his mouth shut. The man who walked past them until he saw him.


"What's so funny. It's legal, right?" Surya.


"Bah Mas's. But I'm the same Hanif is so sticky. We were always together. Like twins. Boss I'll be later if he keeps." Zahra. He began to fade his laughter.


"Bosen's too. I thought that Trisno jalaran Soko kulino could be intertwined between you." Surya Word .


"Ndak Mas's. Not likely. I've considered Mas Hanif my brother the opposite." Reply Zahra.


''Oh that. If I change my mind and propose to you. You want to, Ndak?" Surya asked suddenly.


Zahra surprised. Chokes. He was not eating or drinking. Surya's question shook his heart a little.


"Well, that doesn't know. Hehe.." Answer Zahra as it is . He thought Surya was just joking, so he didn't also refuse or accept .


"Yes weslah. I don't know either. " Sury Surya said.


The two exchanged smiles. I don't think they've spoken at length. Until finally Zahra say goodbye because it does not feel good to disturb Surya's working hours.


"If you agree, please contact me quickly. Let me quickly mature to Abah." Zahra said after they were already in front of the office. Surya escorted Zahra to the front of the office.


"Which one, huh? Job offer or application?" Ask Surya tease.


Zahra blushed in embarrassment subconsciously patting the spoiled Surya langgan. The one in the clap even chuckled.


"Whatever, Mas. I'll go home first. Assalamualaikum..." Pamit Zahra she quickly left, before Surya teased her again .


Surya waited until Zahra's car disappeared from his eyes. After that, he returned to the office and continued his work.
