The Journey of Love Shofia

Gus Zakaria

🏵Do not look at someone from the face. Often the face is not in accordance with what is seen 🏵

This afternoon in MA Al-Huda was excited by the news of the return of Gus Zakaria. All the women talk about that handsome gus. Because yesterday there were some santri who accidentally passed by or saw the bus.

"The more handsome O God of Thy creation that one" said the A

"The smile is sweet. Beeh melted the heart of the gus" said the B

"So early in the morning the sound of meldunya when the adzan immediately make my eyes seger" said the C

And there are many others who essentially praise Gus Zakaria.

Shofia recalled the first time she set foot in the cabin. He still remembered how sweet the sound of tarkhim and adhan at that time was. He realized that after that he never heard the tarkhim and adhan semerdu again. Until this morning.

"So that melodious voice was the voice of Zakaria gus.." Inner Shofia.

"Eh Shof, have you ever met Zakaria?" fatimah's voice resuscitated Shofia from her daydream.

"Yet. Have you ever been?"

"i haven't yet. He said he wanted her to wear it. Smile is sweeter than honey. His voice melted the heart. And the horrors of his brain are the most diluted. Although he said he was the most recalcitrant of the other gus-gus, but he is the smartest lo" said Salwa while guessing the face of the gus who became the impromptu artist.

"Where do you know?" said Shofia glanced at her friend.

"Dam! You are the biggest gossip problem. All the santri in all the corners of this hut that was talked about was none other than Gus Zakaria. Since 2 days I returned to the cottage and heard this info. I was immediately curious and vigorously seeking information from the seniors." he said proudly.

"Huuu eats gossip!" Shofia hit Fatimah's arm slowly using the book she had read earlier.

"Shof bar-bar is a girl. Play at aja" Fatimah sewot. The one who was hired even laughed a little while repeating the hit action. He knew the blow wasn't painful. Fatimah was only upset that she could not make Shofia curious after she told him the information she thought was extraordinary.

Sometimes Fatimah wondered what kind of guy her friend was. Already many santri son and also school friends from the neighborhood around the cottage who approached him and tried to get attention from him.

But none of them looked at Shofia. Even Kak Hadi who became the head of the sausage openly showed his interest in Shofia. But Shofia wasn't interested in it. Though all the girls who went to school in MA Al-Huda adored him.

And if asked why he always refused he would say: "This is also how we learn to seek knowledge to survive the afterlife. Not looking for science to get attention. It is clear that courtship is forbidden by religion because it approaches adultery. Not to mention if the manager found out. Can be in the wine around the cottage. Hiiii I don't want to be like that." that's the point.

It really is like that. But some students at MA Al-Huda are also dating. Although the courtship is only clay, send letters and eat together in the cafeteria. Where can be more than that if still in the cottage environment.

In the afternoon, Shofia and her three best friends were walking in the fields after returning home from school. They miss each other after yesterday's holiday.

"Eh uh who's curious about Gus Zaka?" ask Nur suddenly.

"Where?" Fatimah and Salwa immediately stirred. Unlike the calm Shofia.

"Tuh tuh" Nur said as he pointed towards the fields not far from them.

Gus Zaka was talking to a santri. When he realized someone was watching he turned his head and smiled as he bent his body saluted the girls who were caught watching him. Instantly they were nervous immediately turned back towards the princess cottage.

"Look at Shof, his smile is truly death" Salwa said.

And Shofia's reaction made the three friends disappointed. He just said "oooh that."

Though his friends are already sure if this time Shofia will be fascinated. But their hopes must be dashed.
