The Moon Among the Stars

13

Afnan just left Zura who was still curious about his question.

"Sister Afnan!" call Zura to Kak Afnan half yelling. Zura realized Kak Afnan had gone away leaving himself to walk through the side door without caring about himself.

Since the beginning of meeting a few years ago, Afnan only considers Zura as his sister, there is no feeling more than that. Getting to know Zura and his family, Afnan can only be loved as a sister.

Zura's tiny steps were finally able to rebuke Afnan who did not turn her head in the slightest as Zura shouted to him.

"Sister Afnan, wait. Zura just wanted to make sure. Listen to Zura, Brother!" zura shouted loudly and loudly as he felt neglected.

Afnan's steps came to a halt when he heard loud and loud screams from Zura's lips. His face remained looking straight ahead without looking back at Zura who was still trying to chase after him.

Zura's steps stopped seeing Kak Afnan who had stopped his steps.

"Why should Zura whom Brother treat like this. Wouldn't it be better for us to accept the match" said Zura lirih.

Zura still vividly remembered the incident three months ago when Zura asked his father to match him with Kyai's son his father's friend. Kyai's son is none other than Afnan. But firmly Afnan rejected the matchmaking on the grounds of wanting to succeed in a career first.

But today, exactly this morning, Zura had to swallow a bitter pill. The reason Kak Afnan has changed, it turns out there is another girl who actually Kak Afnan loves. Ta'aruf was Kak Afnan's reason for subtly rejecting Zura.

Zura precedes Kak Afnan and then turns his body to be able to face Kak Afnan.

"Sister Afnan? Ta'aruf that's just Big Brother's excuse to avoid Zura?" tanya Zura slowly stared fixedly at the eyes of Kak Afnan who did not look at Zura's face at all.

"Forget Big Brother, Zura. During this time, Brother was unable to repay Zura's kindness, especially not being able to repay Zura's love. Don't confuse our parents' business problems with feelings issues. I just want to say let it be a decisive time. My sister loves another girl. Forget Brother and forgive Brother if it makes you disappointed and hurt for the next time. Look for another man better than Big Brother, who loves Zura sincerely. You must be perfect Zura. Go home, never go to this school again even if only to deliver your sister Rara." said Afnan slowly explained.

When he said that, Afnan's heart also hurt and sliced to look at Zura's disappointed face that was deep. His eyes looked wet holding back his cries so as not to spill in front of Afnan. Both of Zura's hands clenched in annoyance and disappointment.

Heavily, Afnan stared in any direction. Afnan bled with Zura's sad face. But Afnan did not want to give the slightest gap to Zura. Fear Zura will misunderstand like yesterday.

"Sorry Zura, Brother has to go. There is work that you have to finish." said Afnan firmly. Then continue walking towards the Business Administration space.

The hallway was deserted. No one has seen anything between Afnan and Zura. The passageway was a silent witness between Afnan and Zura.

The tears that had been held since then had finally spilled out as well. The tears and fluid from the nose come down into one. It hurts so much when the people we love reject us. It feels disappointed when the person we love does not want to fight for us and finally we just fight alone. It feels annoyed when the wrong time, our loved ones ask to forget what ever happened.

Both of his hands covered his already wet face. Zura walked through the back to his car parked there.

Zura was already in his private car. Sit behind the steering wheel and put his head on the steering wheel of the car. Both hands held the steering wheel. The car engine has been turned on, the music is also heard sayup-sayup.

Religious music that calms the heart and mind of Zura who is in turmoil because of a man named Afnan.

Zura took a tissue in the next seat and removed the remaining tear and fluid from the nose that was still coming down just like that. Zura's middle rearview mirror dropped right on his face. Zura looked at his face from the rearview mirror. Her face is not good, her make has worn off, her hijab also looks a little disheveled.

Slowly Zura wiped her face with tissue and put on makeup back to look refreshed. The hijab was rearranged so as not to be seen that something had happened to Zura.

Slowly Zura drove his car engine to his Father's Office. Zura is a beautiful girl who is still a student of the Faculty of Economics majoring in Management at a fairly well-known University in the city of Yogyakarta.

Zura was compiling a thesis, on the sidelines of the time vacuum, Zura chose to work as a customer service in Zura's Father's Office.

Zura's father was named Sukoco, owner of Finance Company in Yogyakarta city. The Sukoco family were good friends with Afnan's father. Initially, Zura's father sought out a Kyai to treat his sickly wife. Meet Afnan's father who is Kyai.

Zura's father asked him for his wife's recovery. Already checked to the doctor and to the hospital but the results are the same, there is no disease suffered by Mr. Sukoco's wife.

Prayer and prayer must be balanced. At that time Mr. Sukoco was really devastated to see his wife lying limp on a mattress for two months.

Not long after, Afnan's father gave a short practice to Sukoco and his family to help the recovery of the Wife and Mother of his two daughters named Zura and Rara.

One month the practice was practiced, the health of the wife began to improve and healthy again as before.

This made the Sukoco family feel indebted to Afnan's father. Mr. Sukoco intends to betroth one of his daughters to the boy from the famous Kyai. This is a thank you and as a successor to the friendship rope for being a besan.

Mr. Sukoco's wishes have been expressed to Kyai and Afnan's father. However, there has been no answer from Kyai and Afnan's father. It's all processed, nothing instant.

Only prayer plays an important role in human life. Only prayer can change the hearts and feelings of man. Only prayer can change the destiny of man through the best way according to Allah SWT.

"Don't forget to pray after the completion of the obligatory prayer or Sunnah. Sholawat and hadorohan precede before praying to Allah SWT. Feel the difference and the mustajab is a prayer." so Kyai's message to Zura.

Those words were always ringing in Zura's brain. 'Just a prayer, and only a sincere prayer is capable of piercing through the seventh heaven.' Zura's inner self calmed down.
