The Journey of Love Shofia

The Ndalem Family

This afternoon the ndalem family came. Abah and my mother went straight to their youngest daughter. Shofia then bailed out. Outside there was Gus Fahmi with Neng Aisyah and Gus Yahya sitting in the waiting chair.

Shofia then told Neng Aisyah to go to the cafeteria. After getting permission Shofia immediately left from there. He felt awkward being in the middle of the ndalem family.

Arriving at the hospital cafeteria he ordered warm tea and chicken noodles. He sat down while eating some of the fritters he had bought.

"Shof ate without a rhyme" said Zakaria who suddenly came and immediately sat in the chair in front of Shofia.

"Oh. Let's eat gus." said Shofia while lifting the chicken noodles that were already on the fork and directly stabbing it.

"His noodles are delicious Shof?"

"Alhamdulillah. It's delicious. Shall I order it?"

"Can. It's the same drink as you" said Zakaria, sipping fried food on Shofia's plate.

"What do you want to drink?"

"Tea is cold."

They enjoy their food. Don't they have to prepare the energy to care for the sick? so they have to gather their strength.

The Ziana room

"Zi, who was your friend?" ask Umi, call for Abah's wife.

"He's Shofia Mi. He had been accompanying Ziana all this time. The guy's good Mi."

"Beauty ya."

"Yes Mi. She's so beautiful. Beautiful natural again Mi. She doesn't wear makeup at all. Especially if dandan, Umi must be fascinated."

"She looks very close to Zakaria." added Aisyah.

"Yes mbak. Mas Zakaria is always odd if it's the same as Shofia."

"What really?" ask Yahya.

"Yes mas. If they have met the innate debate mulu. I was the only one who got dizzy. But it's funny."

"Where was Zakaria? We're here to go." said Abah.

"So he said he was going to the cafeteria" replied Aisyah.

"Whoa. That's just the wits. Must have wanted nyariin mbak Shofia. Afraid that Shofia might be stopped by other men." Ziana's words made everyone look up to her.

"Why? Didn't believe? Yesterday was Shofia's time out of the Zakaria mas cabin directly nyusulin. Sampek defended visiting every place commonly visited mbak-mbak santri." Ziana explained the incident on Thursday.

"Tumben alone Zi. It's usually the same Shofia." said Zakaria when her sister went to Ndalem alone.

"Mbak Shofia again came out the same as Nur." Ziana's answer made Zakaria riled.

"Where?"

"he said he wanted to buy books with the same daily needs. All walks. It's a holiday."

"Buy where?"

"Normally in store X buy the book. If daily necessities seem to be in the market."

Hearing Ziana's reply she passed leaving the younger sister astonished by Zakaria's attitude.

Ziana heard the sound of a car coming out of the garage. And now he knows what his brother did.

Flash back off....

"Take it all the way?" Aisyah did not believe that her sister could do such a thing for the sake of a girl.

"Yes Ma'am. I was the first time I knew I was astonished too. Shofia's mom is a special girl. She's the greatest girl I've ever met."

"How great?" ask Umi.

"Sorry Mi. I can't tell you. Shofia's sister kept it a secret." Everyone was disappointed that not being able to hear anything about the girl that had just made them curious.

"He's Kediri's son?" ask Abah.

"Yes Bah. It comes from Kediri. Does she know?"

"That he remembers when he was put here. He's not still Aliyah?"

"real Bah. Now Shofia's 2nd class is Aliyah."

"It turns out it's still school. Her face was cute." said Aisyah.

"If you've been kuliyah directly Umi take her ghost. It was beautiful, nice, polite again" Umi said.

"Agreed Mi. I would also be very happy if Shofia became my sister-in-law."

"Don't Shofia like Zakaria?"

"Anyone doesn't like Zachariah?" ask Fahmi.

"There was. Ma'am Shofialah. Ma'am Shofia is always upset when he meets mas Zakaria ." replied Ziana.

"It's really special" Yahya said.
