The Chosen Heart

Episode 63

"How do you think? Did I just accept Abahah Zahra's offer to help develop her pesantren?" Ask Surya

The first person she met to discuss the matter was Bella. Cousin Zahwa.

"That's up to you. But before thinking more mature, your work as well and also your intentions" Bella replied on the phone.

How else, Surya is not good if you have to visit Bella's house too often. Especially when married. But he needs a discussion friend. Being to contact Hanan let alone Zahwa for a while could not.

After the events of that day, Surya did not want to disturb them first.

"Help me think. How do you think?" Don't answer it."

"You're gone, have you thought about your work? "

"I can do that there too. My job doesn't require me in the office, anyway,"

"OKs. Then then. Now what about your intentions? That's all that matters."

"intent. Intention to seek experience, add knowledge and also practice. Serving so."

I heard a long breath from the phone. Bella didn't seem to get the right answer from her question.

"Do you really want to go there to serve? Or your reasons. To avoid Hanan and Zahwa?" Bella makes clear the meaning of the question. Surya was silent for a long time.

"If it was just to escape alone, it would be useless. But if it is your desire to serve. Looking for more science I'll support that." Added Bella.

Surya is still. Her mind and heart are still in search of the truth of Bella's conjecture. Whether he wanted to leave because he wanted to escape, or did he really want to serve. Though he realized the thing he did later was out of reach all this time.

"Can't I vote for him ? escape and also serve. Nothing is in vain. I can quickly forget about Zahwa and I can make myself more useful." Now he answers with a question.

"Haha...Are you sure about all that. You misplaced your original intentions?" Bella Lontar. He always asks hard questions to think about.

"Well how?"

"The intention is to serve. Entirely. And in your devotion, make sure you don't remember Zahwa anymore."

"Just like, right?"

"No. Bede. If you intend to run away to forget about Zahwa, you will focus on your escape only. It's not your job to serve." Bright Bella. Surya, he's still digesting what Bella said. It's still the same for him.

"Oh yes. My mind is also your mistress." Bella.

"Street woman?" Surya did not understand.

"That's Elena. Where do you want him to go later. If you leave."

"Oh. I forgot about him. Hehehe..."

Surya remembered Elena. Confusion returned. Bella's right, Elena where is she going, right? There was no way he would ask Hanan and Zahwa to shelter him. All their problems are because of Elena. But if he moved, and lived in the contract he had rented first. He was afraid that the thugs who were chasing him would find him and hurt him. If Staying here will invite slander among neighbors.

"Well, how the hell are you? Cockle women but forget. You'd better put her in the female Social Station. I know people there. He must be a man, too." Bella Tawar.

"Social Change? What's not pity?"

" Well, it's not like an Orphanage or a nursing home. Don't imagine it like that. It is there where street women and former women night but there they are taught entrepreneurship, skills and others. Not just sleep eat. So your woman can thrive. Not bothering people.'' Bella Lontar. He was a little upset with Elena. Besides she feels that Elena is interfering with Zahwa and Hanan's lives. He also became Surya's parachute.

"Good too if so. I'll talk to Elena later."

"Yes already. Thanks for the input. I'll call you later. It's night. Greetings to your family." Surya said.

"Ok. nsha Allah. Remember that! Pkirin was his intention." Bella's Message.

Surya laughs. That's what Bella likes, she's like a mom who always reminds me of everything. Saying something that should be said. No matter it would hurt or not to his interlocutor. Even so, there is no such thing as wanting to hurt.

Surya ended the call. He returned to his thoughts - the words of Bella. He also did not want to make Abah Zahra wait for long.

Tok

"Solar Mass. Dinner is ready."

Elena's voice sounded after when the door of her room. Surya rose from his bed. He stepped towards the door of the room and opened it, in front of Elena already waiting for him.

"Come on!" Seru Surya's.

They're heading for the dining room. Once there, the meal was prepared.

"Elene... If only. Don't take it personally. You live in a Women's Social Station. Do you want to?" Ask Surya.

Elena stopped her food. Surprised by what Surya said.

"I mean, Mum? Do you want me to leave this house again?" ask Elena.***** the meal is lost instantly.

"No. We've already decided if you move into a contract. But because there was a thug incident. I don't have the heart, but the problem is now. I'm going to Jombang. With a long time, and I haven't even been able to determine when." Obviously Surya. He still kept Elena's feelings in order for her not to be offended by her intentions.

"I'll be back with my mom if so .Mas Surya no longer needs to take care of me. I'm just a burden."

Surya sighed. Elena hasn't - hasn't misunderstood her point yet.

"That's the same as handing yourself over to Madam Nur again. You've been avoiding them all this time." Surya.

"At least I can be free and there's a mother with me."

"At the parlour it's not what you think it is. There are many women like you. They are guided to entrepreneurship, skills, and others. My friends know the people there too. You'll be safe. You can take your mother there too." Obviously Surya.

Elena quiet. He could not dodge now, nor could he explain anything much less refute.

"Why don't I just go with Mas Surya?!"

Solar silent. Take Elena to the cottage? Is that possible. In Panti Saja he seems to refuse, especially in the cottage that so many rules. He won't be strong. The pesantren environment is opposite to her.

"I'm going to the cottage. I do you still want to come?"

Elena quiet. Cottage, he doesn't know what a hut is. What place he doesn't know either.

"Cottage, what is it? What kind of place is that?" Elena asked curiously.

Surya sighed. Even Elena didn't know what a cottage was. Of course he won't be able to stay there.

"Pondok. Have you heard of it?" Ask Surya

Elena shook her head. He doesn't seem to understand.
