The Journey of Love Shofia

The Shofia

🍁Let this taste I take away. Be happy without me. 🍁

Shofia's family has already picked her up. They are in ndalem. Shofia was there too. Umi's crying. He understood how his son struggled for the girl in front of him. He was very sad to hear the words from Mirza.

"Had Mi. Don't cry." said Abah while holding Umi's arm to strengthen. Actually he was sad too. He also agreed that Shofia could be side by side with Zakaria. But what power he can't hold.

Shofia's parents don't understand what's going on. Why the family ndalem to cry for the return of his son. They also heard sobs from inside the cottage.

'Why did the ndalem family cry. What money really is going on here." Khusnul.

"Shofia apologizes to Abah Umi if Shofia's here is troublesome" said Shofia's memoirs have not been completed and Umi has pulled him into his arms. Umi hugged Shofia.

"Shofia Umi still hopes for you." Shofia was so flabbergasted to hear Umi's words. Means all this time the ndalem family knows what happened between them.

"If there is another chance. Umi hope you guys are a fool."

"God willing Mi. Pray Shofia Mi."

"Definitely son. Umi will surely wish you all the best."

"Thank you Umi." Shofia puts on Umi's hug.

The Shofia family immediately announced. Khusnul was so shocked when he received a hug from Umi. Khusnul did not know what happened to his daughter while in the cottage. Shofia never told a story.

After coming out of the ndalem Shofia noticed the ndalem once again. When he looked at the window of Zachariah's room he saw the owner of the room who was also looking at him. There were tears in Zachariah's eyes. Shofia smiled at him. A sweet farewell smile for Zakaria.

"Mbak what exactly happened? Will Umi always cry to take off her civics?" ask them when they are inside.

Today at the cottage became a day filled with tears. All the losses took away Shofia. Santriwati there loves Shofia. They knew Shofia as a good girl. They also agreed that Shofia would accompany Gus Zakaria. But fate says something else.

The four companions of Shofia were also incessantly crying. They remember every happy moment they have spent together. During these three years they were together, painting beautiful stories of life.

Fatimah, Nur and Salwa remained in the hut. They continued to lecture there. They had actually persuaded Shofia to lecture together there, but Shofia continued to refuse.

They did not know if the reason for Shofia's departure was to avoid Zakaria. They also do not know if their best friend has fallen in love with their gus. They only know if Shofia wants a new experience with the college outside the city.

Ndalem's family gathers in Zakaria's room. They give strength to their family members. They all understand here Zakari is the hardest hit.

"Change. I want to lecture in Cairo" Zakaria said, surprising everyone. He refused to give up there.

"Go, son" said Abah. He understood the reason for his son's decision.

"Mind the good if you want to study. Not because I want to forget Shofia."

"My intention is not to forget Shofia Umi. Shofia's words yesterday made me realize that I've been wrong all this time." Zakaria breathed. He remembered Shofia's words. "I have not focused on education. Shofia's right. We are too young to think about anything further. If Shofia and I are a match, we can be together."

Zachariah's words made all the families relieved. Iti means Zakaria can already classify Shofia. They will also support what Zachariah did. Zakaria is growing up. He knows what the best money is for his life.

From now on Zakaria is determined to earnestly study. He also wants to organize life according to the guidance of Allah SWT.
