When Love Begins to Be Asked
Until Yogyakarta



After the journey for 8 hours Jakarta - Jogjakarta. Finally Zaki arrived at the apartment he occupied during his stay in Jogjakarta.


"Are you tired? I'd better go to bed first, only tomorrow morning I'll call Hilya, that I've reached Jogjakarta!" zaki said to himself and then He decided to take a shower first because his body felt itchy and sticky after 8 hours in the car.


Around 04:00 after Zaki performed the tahajud prayer, Zaki decided to sleep and rest for the next few hours. Before the morning at 08:00 he will begin his duty back to the campus where he works.


Meanwhile, Hilya in Jakarta seemed unable to sleep. He kept on fidgeting for a moment while looking at the cell phone. Her message since last night has not been read by Zaki, her beloved husband.


"Oh God! Why is my message still not read by Mas Zaki? Is she okay in there?" Hilya was seen constantly pacing around in her room. She briefly saw her cell phone maybe her husband called her. And tell me about his current state.


Until dawn Hilya still could not close her eyes. Because she is very worried about the state of her husband who until now has not read the message he sent about 3 hours ago. " O Allah, what's wrong with Mas Zaki why he hasn't read my message or contacted me Has he forgotten me or has he not had time to open it?" put the question on Hilya's head.


Zaki is currently sleeping in his sleep. Zaki did not deliberately contact Hilya to inform his wife about him who had arrived in Jogjakarta.


Intentionally, he'll call Hilya in the morning. After he felt no more tired. After a long journey. Therefore, Zaki chose to sleep first. Because his mind is currently in turmoil and his body is also tired.


The next morning, Zaki awakens with the alarm he had set at 05:30 a.m. After performing the dawn prayer. Zaki finally found his phone. He intends to contact the wife he left in Jakarta.


But Hilya who had fallen asleep from dawn earlier. He hasn't picked up his phone yet. So that makes Zaki feel surprised why his wife did not pick up the phone since.


"Oh my God, why didn't my wife pick up my phone? Is he mad at me? Or is he still sleeping or is he probably already going to his college? But it's too early to go to college!" Zaki Keeps guessing which becomes


the reason his wife didn't pick up her phone.


"Easy! Let it. I better cook first and prepare breakfast for myself. So that I can do well on campus. Don't let me starve in there!" Zaki decided to go to the kitchen and prepare breakfast for himself. After 20 times calling his wife was not also lifted.


When Zaki was preparing in the kitchen and cooking for himself. Zaki's phone rings and it turns out it's from Zaki's parents in Indramayu.


"Why is Zaki being contacted still so hard? He hasn't even raised a call from Abi!" kyai Rashid reported to his wife, Zahra.


Zahra, who has been pacing back and forth, wants to contact her son, who has not given word since last night.


"Aby, leave a message for Zaki if he's got his cell phone to call us!" zahra's orders to Kyai Rashid the beloved husband.


"Oh my goodness Abi! Just send an SMS to his son just lazy!" zahra said she was upset with her husband who seemed to be unconcerned about her son's current situation.


"Zaki if you have time! Call Umi soon, baby! Umi's worried about you, son!" Zahra leaves a voicemail for her son Zaki, whom she has longed for since last night.


It seems that on the way to Jogjakarta Zaki did not stop by first to his parents' residence in Indramayu. Because at that time Zaki was chasing time so that dawn could get to Jogjakarta because at 08.00 am Zaki had to go to campus immediately to report back.


After waiting for about half an hour Zahra's phone rang and it was a call from her beloved son Zaki Al Buchori.


"Assalamualaikum warahmatulli wabarakatuh! How are the same Umi Abi apologized last night Zaki did not stop by first to Indramayu because Zaki was chasing time so that until dawn in Jogjakarta!" Zaki apologized to his mother. Because he didn't stop by their house. When he went to Jogjakarta.


"Dear, it's okay! The important thing is that you have survived to Jogjakarta. Umi's worried about you my dear!" said Zahra was happy because it turned out his son had arrived in Jogjakarta safely and safely.


"Yes Umi, I'm sorry Zaki! Because at 08.00 am, you should have reached the campus and reported that from today Zaki will return to work on campus." said Zaki informed his current situation to his mother who was worried about his condition in Yogyakarta.


"Did your wife come with you to Jogjakarta Zaki?" asked Zahra because she forgot yesterday not to ask her besi about his wife Zaki who will live where after their marriage.


"Hilya does not follow Zaki to Jogjakarta now Umy! Because he's taking his exams at college. Later after the exam is finished, then Zaki will invite him to live together in Jogjakarta. Zaki will transfer his college Hilya to the campus where Zaki works so Zaki can look after him!" zaki said explaining about his wife to his mother who he loved.


"Thank God Alhamdulillah if the wife wants to follow you to Jogjakarta. Although it's actually a pity, if she moves in with you, it means that Hilya won't return to the cottage!" his mother said Zaki felt sad because she would no longer meet her daughter-in-law Hilya.


Zahra knew Hilya as a good santri and also diligent during this time he was the one who guided Hilya directly in the Tahfidz program he followed.


So, Zahra is very familiar with the character of Hilya who is famous for being good, smart and also polite.


"Only if until Hilya moves to Jogja, it means Umi will miss him. Because he will no longer stay in the cottage!" regret Zahra because he will not be able to meet again with his favorite Hilya santri.


"But Umi, if Hilya does not join Zaki to Jogjakarta. So Zaki here is the one who is living the suffering. What would you like to let a miserable Zaki live alone without a wife?" Tanya Zaki knits to her mother who seems unwilling to let go of her wife to come with her to Jogjakarta.


"Yes my darling! It's okay if your wife comes with you. Later Umi will come to Jogjakarta if you miss you!" zahra eventually relented, not wanting to argue with her son.


Zahra relented, because she was conscious. Hilya has indeed become Zaki's responsibility, as Hilya's current husband. He did not want to make any more noise until scrambling his daughter-in-law with his favorite son dang, it was ridiculous.
