The Chosen Heart

Episode 64

"Just the boarding school you don't know." Hanan Sahut. He came suddenly, with Zahwa beside him.

"Well! Non Zahwa, how are you?" The Bik Asih . He went to Zahwa and hugged him.

"Good Bik Asih. How's Auntie doing?" Ask Zahwa.

Bik Asih directly let the two of them sit at the dining table.

"How are you, Elena, Surya?" Sapa Zahwa's.

Surya and Elena were still dumbfounded by Hanan and Zahwa's presence. They haven't come in a long time and suddenly they're here without giving any news.

"good. Ma'am Zahwa, please Ma'am." Answer Elena. He invited Zahwa to get some food.

Hanan handed the plate to Zahwa immediately Zahwa filled the plate, and handed it back.

"Are you staying here or coming home?" Ask Surya. He tried to act ordinary even though it was still difficult for his heart not to feel pain .

"Again kangen Bik Asih cuisine. So get straight here. Sorry yeah. Not told you before." Answer Zahwa.

Hanan started eating. He gave a gesture to be ordinary with Surya.

"This is your home too. You can come here anytime." Surya.

Zahwa smiled, no longer saying anything and started eating.

No one talks anymore. Sasana was calm again. But in each heart there is still a turmoil that seeks to be endured.

"So I heard someone talking about boarding schools? There really? " Tanya Hanan's.

"Abah Zahra wants me to help develop their boarding school in Jombang. And as I would have responded." Answer Surya .

Zahwa. Hanan immediately took the drinking water and thrust it to himself.

"Are you okay?" Ask Surya. He could not hide his worry.

"It's okay" replied Zahwa.

Hanan saw that he did not like being attacked by jealousy. Zahwa realized that.

"And Elena. She how?" Hanan asked directly to distract.

"I want to join Mas Surya actually. But it seems like Mas Surya can't." Answer Elena

"Clearly. Where can you live there. I'm not ashamed what follows people." Hanan attacked without thinking about Elena's feelings.

Zahwa. He did not like Hanan's outspoken manner. But Hanan ignored.

"Indeed why? what exactly is a boarding school? " Ask Elena. He's getting curious. Injured, because it is considered incapable of it.

"Pesantren is a traditional education whose students live together and study under the guidance of teachers better known as kiai and have Dormitories for places to stay santri." Zahwa Clear .

"We are school so. The difference is not going home. Stay in that school?" Elena still doesn't understand.

"May say so. But students or commonly called santri must follow all activities in the pesantren, also must follow all existing regulations. Every day they were taught to study religion. And again, between men and women in separation. Don't be in touch. Sometimes meeting just isn't allowed, unless it's important." Answer Zahwa.

"Every day Njai, pray, Njai again, pray again. Full one day activities. There is no rest except during the night. Eating potluck. Sometimes drink tap water. If you do not follow the rules in fines, even in the law. You willing?'' Hanan asked pressing.

Elena gulped at the explanation of the two of them. I can't imagine how his life will be. Pray and pray only he is still blakblokkuk. Moreover, it must be done every day even every time.

"Study the book too. Learn Arabic. Must keep the Krama system.'' Added Hanan. Makes Elena even more suffocating .

"You'd better be on Social Station alone . That's my reason, at the pesantren I'm afraid you won't be at home." Surya Sahut

Elena quiet. Obviously he would not be comfortable with such a place. It's the same as going to jail.

"But if you're interested it's okay too." Surya.

"Ah...After I thought again. Pity my mother has to live here alone." Elena said she was looking for an excuse.

"Well, you've been leaving your mother" all along." Sekak Hanan's. Under the table Zahwa directly stepped on Hanan's foot. Make Hanan row.

No one spoke . Elena was silent without saying too , she had no words to refute Hanan .

"Until when is Mas Surya there?" Zahwa's question shifted the conversation.

"No idea, that must be a long time." Answer Surya.

Zahwa. A feeling of guilt enveloped his heart. Could it be that Surya is looking for a reason to leave ? But this way everything will be fine too. They need time and distance to forget each other.

"Kabari if you want to go" Hanan said.

He got used to it without his brother. They're like Shift's job. When Hanan is at home, Surya is gone. And when Surya's at Hanan's house who changed away. Even so, they keep each other. But this time the departure of his brother was, one of the reasons was because of him. In this case in do not know should be happy or sad . Glad that her brother will not be a hindrance to her being with Zahwa anymore. Sad as she went to heal the pain of her heart that she accidentally scratched.

Hanan and Zahwa return home. They really did not want to stay even though Surya had already said that it was also his home. But Hanan was still unwilling, let alone seeing Zahwa who still felt awkward with her brother.

"You're sad my brother is leaving?'' Ask Hanan .

Almost half of their journey was silent, and chatting with each other's minds .

"It's not sad to lose. But I am sad because I feel guilty. He left because of me." Answer Zahwa. He did not want any more theatrics between himself and Hanan. And say everything with the honesty of his heart.

"I feel that way too but how else. That's his choice, too." Hanan. He was relieved, if his wife no longer expected his brother.

"And what about Elena?"

"That's what I'm thinking." Answer Hanan.

Zahwa. Find out what her husband's words mean. Is he starting to notice Elena?

"Don't misunderstand. I was worried because I was afraid he was planning something again. He's reluctant to get out of my house." Hanan

"You still think bad."

"That's it. Let's talk about them." Hanan.

Zahwa. She knew her husband was still sensitive when it came to Elena and Surya.

"Oh yes, mas? Have you ever been to Jombang? Zahra's boarding school?'' Ask Zahwa. Suddenly he was curious about the boarding school.

"Earlier. I used to go there a lot. My KKN used to be near Zahra's boarding school. That's why Zahra's family knows me, too." Answer Hanan

"And it's possible to be taken by a ghost as well as Zahra's brother." Zahwa. I don't know why he was suddenly upset to hear Hanan's story.

Thinking that her husband used to be very close to Zahra and the family. Especially when his brother used to go to his house can be seen they are very familiar.Mas Surya also said if Zahra was the only woman close to her husband.

"Loh, how do you know. Haha. I really want to be taken by the ghost of Abahah Zahra. "

"Ck, why don't you want to?" Zahwa is getting sewed.

"How else. I was forced to marry you. " Anan answered with a sorry face. Zahwa punched his arm in annoyance.

"So you're married to me." Sewot .

"It's like that, right?" reply Hanan.

Zahwa. Look out the car window. Imagine how her husband used to laugh with Zahra. Gathering with the Zahra family. Imagining her husband smiling with another woman, makes her heart ache.

"You wanna stay in the car? It's over, baby." Hanan .

Zahwa awoke from his daydream. Looking around, they had already reached home. Zahwa lazily got out of the car. Hanan had already snatched away just like that.

Once inside the house, the feeling of annoyance returned to him. Her husband had been in the house, but did not intend to turn on the lights of the house.

Zahwa turned on the lights and found no one. Hanan must have been in room , on the way to their room. But neither did finding her husband in the bathroom nor was there. Zahwa became worried and confused looking for her husband.

***Mas Hanan

I wait in the back garden*** .

WhatsApp Message from Hanan. Zahwa without waiting any longer directly ran down and towards the back garden. He was surprised when he got there. Swimming pool with thousands of floating candles, and also candles - candles are lined up to the bamboo gazebo. Zahwa headed towards the gazebo.

"I Love You..."

Hanan ambushed Zahwa's body from behind, whispering a soft word of love in his ear.

"Mas, when did you prepare all this. You were with me." Zahwa asked in amazement.

"Hahahaha is it magic of me?!" Hanan was proud.

"But for what?"

"To make my wife fall in love with me."

Zahwa changed his position. He was now staring at Hanan full of haru. Hanan's smile expands. He held Zahwa's body in his arms.

"Have you fallen in love with me?" Ask Hanan. Zahwa tightened his embrace.

"Didn't you feel it? " Task back Zahwa.She enjoyed her husband's heartbeat she enjoyed the fragrant body of her husband that she always longed for. And also a friendly caress on his head.

"You're the most beautiful compulsion of my life." Hanan.

Zahwa said nothing. She was lucky to have Hanan as her husband, who loved her so much. Had wanted to leave, but he finally had no regrets about staying here with her.
