CHAPTER 14 Jakarta
" do not forget your father's last wish Ra, he wants you to be happy, uncle has called your mas and tomorrow Anton will come from Jakarta, get ready, you have to me with him, he said,
" but uncle, then,? zahra hesitated
"what do you doubt Ra,? if about this house you do not worry, uncle who will clean it every week, said Pak lukman reassured Zahra.
"uncle will not force you, you have the right to make decisions that you think are right, uncle just wants to see you happy and maybe your happiness is in parents you have never met.
Zahra was just stunned to hear the words of Mr. Lukman he was not ready if he had to go and leave the house and memories with parents who had been caring for and raising him with affection
"think first Ra, before you make a decision lest you regret this is the time for you to find your parents and devote to them, uncle does not want you to live alone in this house Ra, Ra,
said mr. Lukman while patting down Zahra's bowed shoulders
"uncle does not want you to get worse in this house alone, added pak lukman
Zahra just fell silent, she kept thinking should she go with her cousin and look for her biological parents, after thinking long enough that Zahra solidified her heart to follow Anton and look for her biological parents
"yes uncle, I'll go with Anton's mas, I'll find my parents and I'll work at Anton's mas
" mas Anton once sent a message that at work there is a job for me, he said again
"what job is Ra,? ask mr. lukman
"teacher naji, man, man,
mr. Lukman just nodded his head to understand, he knew Zahra was very smart in teaching munkin because that's why Anton offered the job to Zahra, thought Pak lukman
"may you quickly find your biological parents Ra, if someday you meet them uncle hope you will not forget to go home to see uncle and make a pilgrimage to the grieving father and mother, father and mother, said Mr. Lukman with teary eyes, although Zahra bunkan biological children from his brother but Pak lukman very fond of Zahra like his own son.
Zahra who saw Pak Lukman rub his wet eyes, immediately he hugged his uncle from the side spilled tears Zahra while hugging the figure of his father's successor
"uncle do not be sad, I will often go home to see uncle and I will never forget the affection of uncle and father, said Zahra while hugging the uncle tightly
mr. Lukman is more and more moved in Zahra's arms he is so fond of Zahra he does not want Zahra to leave but this is the reality that he must accept because Zahra is not his brother's biological child.
"tomorrow morning Anton will arrive here and you must be ready, said mr. lukman told reporters
Zahra just nodded her head and then she broke the wound from her uncle
"uncle go home first, you rest because tomorrow you will travel far, said Mr. Lukman gently
"yes uncle I'll rest, please,
Zahra goes through the night with an erratic feeling she keeps thinking why her life is full of mysteries , several times he tried to close his eyes but never fell asleep his mind continued to wander to remember every incident he experienced
a single tear that always accompanied her long night even though she was a very strong woman but in fact her heart was very fragile.
every now and then the clock of the wall reads measuring the length of a silent night as a solitary self, I try to console myself but where do I squared this wound...

"let him go,! said tuan fatih while going down the stairs, "father no longer care where he wants to live, papa educate him enough, but still he became a dissident, but still he became a dissident, said Mr. Fatih with a tone that began to rise
he was so upset with Al because Al never abandoned his bad habit of often drunk and struggling couples
"this is ma, which makes me not feel at home living here, said Al annoyed, he walked away from his mother and papa with annoyed feeling he came out and slammed the door very hard, he said, made his parents shocked
mr. Fatih just shook his head at his son's childish behavior

"asslamualaikum Ra, yes,
"greetings, replied Zahra from inside the house, immediately he walked to open the door and saw who came turned out to be Mr. Lukman and his cousin Anton
"mas Anton,! Zahra was so pleased with the arrival of her cousin, a smile endlessly adorning her sweet lips
" you how are you, Ra,? ask Anton no less happy
"alhamdulillah mas, I'm good, I,
" what time did you get here,?
"sadam mas until ,Ra. answered Anton while walking to the sofa in the living room, "and later in the afternoon we have to leave Ra, Ra, the car I brought belonged to my master
"yes, said Zahra without hesitation
mr. Lukman just silently listened to the conversation between his son and nephew
time passed by so quickly, now it was time for Zahra to leave the neighbors to come just to say goodbye to Zahra some of Zahra's friends were present to say goodbye
"uncle Zahra left first yes, without a doubt Zahra lang sungsung hugged Pak lukman he shed his tears in the arms of mr. lukman
everyone shed tears, "you be careful there Ra, said Pak lukman as he wiped Zahra's tears
Anton smiled to see his father so attentive to his cousin's sister, "father don't worry, I'll keep him there, Pak lukman smiled at Anton's words
Zahra and Anton say goodbye to all the neighbors who came, the car they were riding in began to leave the yard of the late Mr. Tohir's house, Zahra waved his hand at everyone, his tears were constantly soaking his thin cheeks he grew thinner and slimmer due to the loss of two people he loved
the car they were riding in had now started to enter the city streets.Zahra just looked out the window his gaze was so empty, Anton just remained silent and focused on driving he did not want to disturb Zahra, he said,
occasionally Zahra blinked her eyes she did not want to cry in the car especially in the presence of Anton, she did not want Anton to feel worried about her
