The Journey of Love Shofia

Let Rizwan do his job

Ziana pulled Shofia's hand behind Ndalem. Where there is a princess cottage building that Shofia longs for.

Currently on school holidays. So many santri who returned home. While Salwa, Fatimah and Nur were married and returned to their area. Shofia last saw them at Zakaria's funeral.

Shofia looked at the majestic building before her. His eyes were full of longing. He longed for the good times when he sought knowledge there.

"This is Shofia?" ask a santri who knows him.

"Yes. You're Nita, right? I was already a manager." This Niya is his underclassman.

"Truly mbak. Thank God I still remember. Long time no play here mbak."

"sorry. Now I'm a teacher at Junior High, so I can't go anywhere."

"Great mom! It's getting pretty." Niya looked at Shofia in admiration. Shodia used to look beautiful. But now it is even more beautiful because it looks mature.

"It can be you. You are beautiful too." Shofia smile. "This seems like nothing has changed... "

"Yes mbak. It's just a little free now. Now starting MA can bring a laptop mbak."

"Yes. Laptops are necessary for learning."

"Mr. Excuse me first. Take a shower. It's late." It's late afternoon." Nita then passed away leaving Shofia and Ziana.

Ziana took Shofia to the back of the cottage. Go to the rice field and sit in the little hut like before. Both of them were silent for a while. Let the wind blow their faces.

"I miss this wind Zi. I haven't felt the whirring of the afternoon wind for a long time." Shofia closed her eyes and spread out her hands. Slowly his feet came down from the hut towards the edge of the rice field.

"Maybe busy until you don't have time."

"True Zi. I've been busy lately. I also have no friends to play in the fields. Cook yes I must be alone blusukan to the rice field."

"Over here I will always accompany you. How many days are you here?"

"God willing four days Zi. I have to go to Rizwan's wedding early. Said he wanted to introduce his friend to me."

"Mas Har?"

"Maybe."

"He was a good man. Just like Zaka and Rizwan."

"He's been here a lot?"

"The time when Zaka was still in the cottage he often mbak. If Zaka mas go home, it must be Har mas or Rizwan mas come along. That's why they're close to Abah and Umi."

"He must be a good man."

"That's really good, mbak. He's a doctor mbak. The same age as mbak deh like."

"Couldn't you? Gus Zakaria is two years above me."

"They're friends at the cottage. And do not age at the cottage. According to the story of the Zaka mas, they used to be a group of wayward santri. But insyaf trus."

"Ow so."

"Yes. Let's go back to Ndalem. I want maghrib."

"OK."

Shofia and Ziana set their feet back to the cottage. The atmosphere is getting dark. The lights are starting. Right until they both arrived at ndalem adzan maghrib.

Shofia was stunned to hear the very melodious voice of Adhan. His body went up to the creeps. Heart's shaking. He felt a soft sigh all over his body with the chanting of the adhan so melodious.

"The Adzan mas Har. His voice is sweet. Just like Zaka's voice. I'm sure they like duets when they're here." Ziana understood what Shofia was thinking.

"Yes Zi. Her voice is so sweet. It was the first time I set foot in a cottage. It was the voice of the Zakaria Cave that I heard. His voice also made my heart rumble Zi."

"Let me introduce you" said Ziana. They also prayed in Ziana's room. After the prayer they both read the Qur'an.

*****

"Shoria." Aisyah hugged Shofia tightly. Aisha crying.

All the ndalem family loves Shofia. All consider Shofia as their family.

"Neng Aisyah don't cry dong. I'll be scolded by Gus Fahmi."

"I miss you Shofia. We haven't seen you in a long time."

"Sorry mbak. Because I have a responsibility. So not free."

"Easy-after. Let's eat first."

"Where Mi Mas Har?" ziana asked when she did not find her sister's friend."

"So she got a phone call from the hospital. He said he was assigned to leave at the flood post" Umi said.

"Yaaah" Ziana was disappointed. His plan to introduce Shofia to his sister's friend failed.

"Why are you so disappointed?" ask Yahya.

"I wanted to introduce you to Shofia. Pantesan was Isya's not in the adhan swing"

"His return was finished Maghrib prayer" said Fahmi. The Ndalem family is already familiar with Zakaria friends because they often stay overnight.

"Other times there's still Zi time" Shofia said.

"Eat first. Daritadi kept talking. The food will be cold, " said Umi.

They all eat well. Shofia was very happy to be well received in this family. Suppose in the past so married to Zakaria surely she will live happily with her husband's extended family.

"Mas Rizwan wants to introduce Har mas same mbak Shofia Bah. What do you think?" ziana asked as she finished her meal.

"Emm Har is good Shofia. Abah also agrees that Rizwan intends to betroth you. He was also a friend of Zacharias. He's da Rizwan we consider a son. Like you." said Abah. Shofia just silently listened. He was convinced of Abah's choice.

"You must open Shofia's heart. You should be happy." said Aisyah.

"Yes mbak. If her friend Rizwan is serious about getting into a relationship with Shofia, Shofia will also try to take it."

"Alhamdulillah."

"That's right! If only Har were here. It must have been an acquaintance and Shofia's mother would still be my sister-in-law" Ziana said making everyone laugh.

"It's okay Zi. I will also be known by Rizwan."

"But I want to see it in person."

"What you think is a Korean drama that you often watch Huh! I still want to marry as a child" Yahya said. Yep. This year Ziana is planning to marry one of Kiai's children in the city. Shofiaun was also informed.

"Yes tomorrow if I go there. You're with me just leaving" said Shofia.

"All right."
