Trust & Love

Trust & Love (014)

At 06.00 am, Zulfikar has finished tidying up all his needs. He rushed to the kitchen to pick up a bowl of porridge then walked towards the main room of the house.

With his smile always looking reassuring, he greeted a middle-aged man who was asleep in his place.

"Good morning, Mr. Lukman," he said, "breakfast first! ... I made porridge for you." Zulfikar opened the curtain patterned tulip flowers which is the favorite of the late Hamidah. He then sat down beside Lukman and began to feed a spoonful of porridge to the mouth of the lukman with great care.

"Today, I will go to teach .. so I'm sorry if I can't nemenin you first" he said then took a second sip of his porridge.

Lukman understood Zulfikar's intentions, he blinked his eyes once a sign that he understood.

"But don't worry about Naysila at home."

Hearing Naysila's words, Lukman's eyes weakened. How could his daughter take care of him? It seems like he should be able to take care of himself even if it is not possible. But at least if he is hungry or thirsty he just needs to be patient waiting for his daughter-in-law to come home. Let's just say he's fasting, he thought.

Zulfikar is ready to go, he started his car 5 minutes ago while tidying up some files in his car. From outside the door he saw his wife opening the fridge looking for food but he did not find it.

"I've made you some fried rice, it's on the table." Zulfikar almost made Naysila dependent because of his very sudden presence.

"Sorry that's all I can do, because the ingredients are limited in the refrigerator .. I went to teach first, Assalamualaikum."

Naysila stared at the dinner table and there was already a plate of fried rice with a beef-eye egg on it, "it looks good," she murmured inwardly.

"Thank you, Wa'alaikum greetings" said Naysila who made Zul's footsteps stop.

"Sama-sama," said Zulfikar with a smile and then returned to his feet.

Zulfikar got into the white avanza. Simple but clean impression that reflects his personality.

"Widiihhhh, the new bride of her aura is very different. How many rounds is that?" goda Andre when he saw his friend coming.

"Whispering." Zulfikar stared at the huffed friend beside him.

"Judes very sir, do not-don't .. " Andre's speech stopped.

"Don't-don't what?" tanya Zulfikar turned around ketus.

"Don't you not get rations yet?" andre's whisper was right in Zulfikar's ear, which made Zulfikar's eyes glare sharply.

"Can diem?" Zulfikar's sharp gaze made Andre clumsy.

"Sori, sori bro! Ah well, seriously mulu lu. Old spit later." Andre picked up a red rose complete with a heart-shaped note attached.

"Now!" Andre told her, "Regularly, flower packages from beautiful engineering students."

"Make you!" sahut Zulfikar flatly, "From now on if anyone says anything not to be accepted!" zulfikar.

"Loh why? Baby right?" ask Andre.

"Judah, if you take it!" Zulfikar started preparing the materials for him to immediately enter his first class.

"But why, uh Zul!" shouted Andre when he began to leave his friend without answer, "Hishh tuh people have married still judes, forgive me I mah."

"Bete, Kesel." grumbled Naysila.

Plucci

He threw his lipstick tissue into the trash basket and right into the target.

"Did I chat Hanifah for nemenin?"

Naysila started to open her chat app, she forgot something, "eh forgot, she's just as busy preparing for her wedding." Naysila closed the application back with pursed lips.

Who yeah?

"Nurul with Nina, Yapss there's nothing wrong with them. All reunians ah."

The first step is to create a group chat, so that it can be easier to discuss.

The group with the name "N3" was completed with members Naysila and Nurul.

Naysila: Nurul, please enter Nina into the group! because I don't have his number.

Nurul : Ah, yes.

Nurul Add Nina's

Naysila: "Hallo Nin, it's Naysila. You're still inget, right?

Nina: "Wait-wait! ... Naysila, who used to buy bakwan alias bala-bala in the canteen bu siti, who ate 5 2? Is this really you?"

Naysila: "Yes, disgrace. Still want to!"

Nina: "Inget, I am so, haaaaa. How are you doing? Gilaaa has been decades new ngabarin, where aja ma'am?"

Naysila: "Miss is a true drama. Later on in his language. Ehh, btw y'all on your free? Meet yu! I miss."

Nina: "Well tumben, don't you work anymore, Nay?"

Naysila: "Udah, I'll tell you, ehh btw Nurul where? Why not go nongol-nongol?"

Nina: "Well, where are you going?"

Nurul: "I'm sorry abis from the kitchen. Okay, where?

Naysila: "Well, how about the cafe deket mall, 2 o'clock."

Nina: "Okay."

Naysila: "Judah I'm waiting for ya."

Nina: "Sip"

Nurul : "HOME"

The three of them were preparing to go to the agreed place.

After finishing the hours in the engineering class, Zulfikar immediately rushed home. Before leaving class, Zulfikar was surprised by a beautiful student who gave him a large chocolate bar. Actually Zulfikar had refused, but the woman whined that he would accept her chocolate

So with a heavy heart Zulfikar again had to accept it.

"I'm back first! this is chocolate for you!" Zulfikar said goodbye to Andre while putting chocolate on his best friend's desk.

"Well, what's the rush to Zul? Don't you know what we were?" sahut Andre's.

"Can't, I need to" Zulfikar shouted as he walked out of the 10x10-meter room.

"Yes already believe, the new bride mah 'not at home far." said Andre again.

Zulfikar paid no heed to the words of his friend. He quickly walked to the campus parking lot. Although many students had been watching him since, he did not budge in the least. What was on his mind at this moment was to immediately go home to see his in-laws, as he was not sure if Naysila would take care of him properly.

***

After picking up some clothes from his cottage, Zulfikar drove his car back to his in-laws' house. He went straight into Lukman's room to confirm his father-in-law's condition.

While on campus, Zulfikar's mind was half focused on his in-laws.

"Astaghfirullah Al'adzim Pak Lukman." She was so shocked to see her in-laws had fallen on the floor and were unconscious, "Oh my God."

After holding his father-in-law back on the bed, Zulfikar went straight out of the room looking for the man he had secured to look after his father-in-law.

"Nay, Naysila," he called, but there was no answer. The house seems so quiet.

"Nay, Naysila." There's still no answer either. He grunted annoyedly. Finally Zulfikar approached Naysila's room because the woman did not show herself. But the door was locked.

Where the boy went

***

Aisha and her two children are at Lukman's house. An hour ago Zulfikar contacted Aisyah because Zulfikar felt Lukman needed a nurse to take care of her, and she had to ask permission from her children first before making the decision.

Aisyah who already has her own home can not fully take care of her father. Especially since her husband left her, Aisyah inevitably had to work as a mother and father for her two children.

"They say, the people from the foundation are coming tomorrow Zul." Aisyah looked at her father's face while occasionally massaging his hands.

"Yaudah ka, at least tomorrow I'm allowed 'not to go to work first."

Aisyah looked at her sister-in-law in disappointment, "Sorry yes Zul, you've become bothered because of our family."

Zulfikar smiled with a soothing smile, replying to his brother-in-law's words, "it's okay, brother. KAK Ais family, will also be my family." he replied sincerely.

Seen Aisyah's lip line interested perfectly staring at Zulfikar.

How lucky Naysila was to have a husband like Zulfikar.
