The Journey of Love Shofia

Jo Plan

This morning Ziana took Zahra and Shofia to cook with her. The plan is they will eat together before the four special guests of the family ndalem return to their respective places.

The three of them cook with their excitement in the kitchen ndalem. Umi watched the three who were cooking while chatting and joking from the chair at the ndalem dining table.

Jo and Rizwan are in the ndalem living room.

"Har, I'm asking you to please Shofia."

"of course. Without even being asked I would do that."

"Shofia is a special woman. To me, he is not just a friend. He's like my own brother."

"Yes Riz. You take it easy."

"I believe. I haven't seen Shofia's bright smile in a long time. Since Zaka Shofia was lonely. It was true that his lips were smiling. But I know not so with his heart. His heart was empty for a long time. And I saw Shofia's happy smile again when she was with you. Always keep Shofia's smile that way."

"You know him very well, Riz."

"of course. I have long been his best friend. How he is and what kind of suffering brings him down the most I know."

"Thank you Riz, you've accompanied Shofia when she was alone."

"That's my thing for Shofia. I was the one who closed his solitude. Before I met Zaka, I was always his friend. On campus he doesn't have any close friends Har."

"Why?"

"You know she's beautiful yes, pinter yes, fine yes, polite yes. Who doesn't care about him. And that was what caused those women to envy him. He was considered the usurper of the men whom the women sought."

"Oo so."

"yes. I used to be his partner when I had a party. Just to be his bodyguard. Wherever Shofia is, she's like a magnet."

"There-there's just"

"You don't believe it?"

"I believe."

"Eat him, take good care of Shofia."

"Actually Riz, Shofia's been like that. But he once felt that he was the center of attention. I actually brought Shofia here because I wanted Shofia to forget about what happened yesterday."

"What happened!?"

"Shofia's been kidnapped."

"What?!"

"That was the worst day for me. I'm not gonna let that day happen again."

"Who did it?"

"Old man. He used to almost do it too. But I managed to fail. And yesterday I cheated and he succeeded."

"Thank God he's okay."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Please promise me Jo, you'll always be happy and protect her."

"Sure Riz. I promised myself that."

"Mas Har, mas Rizwan. Let's have breakfast first" Ziana said, stopping the conversation.

Rizwan and Jo immediately follow Ziana to the dining room. There are already all the members of the ndalem family along with Shofia and Zahra. Jo immediately sat down beside Shofia while Rizwan sat down beside Zahra.

They eat in silence. Enjoying the sustenance given by Allah SWT in the form of eating in front of them.

This breakfast felt special because it was the last day for them to have breakfast together. Perhaps they could gather again like this at Ziana's wedding in three months.

"Har, we've got Shofia on you. Happy him. Protect her" Abah said after all the food on their plates.

"Yes Abah. Har promised."

"good. Shofia we already consider as our own child." added Umi.

"Yes Umi."

"We see you're a compatible couple" Fahmi said.

"Do you know them from their little ones?"

"Yes no. But I saw a picture of them both when I was a kid. Beuuh made a paper anyway." Ziana Imagined a photo she had seen and sent to her cell phone. He still sees that photo.

"Zee... " Shofia did not want Ziana to show the photo to the ndalem family. He must be embarrassed because since childhood already have a photo that is friendly.

Ziana just smiled. He understood the code from Shofia.

"Are Shofia and Har long known? Didn't they introduce Rizwan?" ask Mbak Aisyah.

"They've known each other since childhood. Already love each other. Even their story precedes Shofia's story with Zaka's mas."

"Zee... " Shofia asked Ziana to stop her words. He's just embarrassed.

"Why Shof? I want to know your story, too."

"Relax mbak. I'll tell you exclusively after the cast comes home" Ziana said. Shofia and the others should go home soon.

*****

After getting ready and saying goodbye to the two cars that were boarded by both pairs of husband and wife left the boarding school Miftahul Huda. Both cars drove quietly on the still beautiful mountain road.

After descending the mountain, the two cars separated. Jo has his own plan. He wants to take Shofia for a vacation before returning to Kediri and there will be many activities waiting for them. Rizwan already knows Jo's plan and he is very supportive of her.

"Darling we'll take a break. It's already in Dhuhur's time as well" Jo said as she glanced at Shofia who was sitting next to him.

"Yes. I'm hungry too." Jo rubbed Shofia's head slowly.

"Darling, you just wait in that stall." Jo pointed at the stall next to the mosque.

"I also have to pray."

"You're done?" Jo smiled happily.

"It."

"good. Let's pray."

"okay."

Shofia and Jo head for a separate wudlu place. After wudlu they both pray dhuhur congregation.

After eating they continued their journey. Shofia who does not know the road does not know if the road they are traveling is not the road that can bring them home.

Jo glanced at Shofia, apparently his wife was sleeping. Though this was a beautiful street that would make Shofia smile happily. Jo takes Shofia on vacation on the slopes of Mount Olis. He rented a villa there.

In the afternoon they arrive at the villa that Jo rented, Shofia is still sleeping. He must have been exhausted, Jo thought.

Jo gets off and asks for the key from the villa institution whose house is next door when it is. After Jo opens the ball, Jo returns and lifts Shofia's bridal style body and takes her in.

Carefully Jo laid Shofia's body on the bed. After that, he took a shower.

Shortly after Jo enters the bathroom in the room, Shofia wakes up. He's spreading his eyes. He did not know the room.

"This where? Where's Jo?" Shofia got off the bed immediately. He heard the sound of water gurgling from behind the door in the room.

"Darling.." call him. He hoped Jo's voice would be heard. Honestly, he was still afraid of the kidnapping that happened a few days ago.

"Yes dear. I'm in the bathroom."

"Hufts. Thank goodness." he murmured."Yes, dear." he continued in a loud voice.
