When Love Begins to Be Asked

Fatimah Curious

Fatimah then left Ilham in the room and she headed straight to her class to start her lessons today.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatulli wabarakatuh! Exam season is soon. So you have to study seriously. Please reduce playing time and have to practice a lot of things. So that all of you can successfully pass this exam and get the best marks!" fatimah opened her lesson today.

"Ready Ma'am! What if I give extra class to us-we ma'am?" asked one of the students who was at the very front while staring at Fatimah with admiration.

"I'm busy, you can form a study group so you can pass the exam successfully!" fatimah said then he ended the discussion session and continued the final lesson before tomorrow they will face the test.

After 2 hours of lessons Fatimah finally completed her assignment in the class and immediately headed to the lecturer's gathering room.

When Fatimah was just about to enter the room, her eyes were immediately startled by the presence of a man who had made her blingsatan this morning. "Zaki?" fatimah said without him knowing it so that making people who were talking in the room also turned to him.

"Mother Fatimah already knew about ustadz Zaki? Come here Mom! Let me introduce you to our handsome new lecturer!" said the head of the department. He got up from his seat and gave a place for Fatimah to sit among them.

"Thank you Sir! I'm just going to my table. I won't interrupt your conversation!" fatimah was nervous because she remembered that Zaki was a married man.

At once Fatimah recalled what the Inspiration had said this morning.

"I'm just reminding you Miss Fatimah! Do not let because of something like this, your reputation as a lecturer will fall apart. However you are a lecturer, you must be a suri tauladan for your students!"

'That's exactly what Ilham said. If I had to be careful. After all, he was a married man. I cannot be rash in my actions. Otherwise, my reputation as a lecturer would be ruined because of this kind of problem!' inner Fatimah while continuing to look at Zaki who had just lowered his head completely did not want to glance at Fatimah.

"It's okay, Fatimah! Come to know ustadz Zaki who knows you will be juxtaposed in the same seminar.if you do not know each other later will not be funny, later calculated our majors will not get along with the lecturers!" the head of the department while pulling Fatimah's hand to get closer to the two of them.

"Zaki Ustad. This is Miss Fatimah. He is the best Australian graduate. We're lucky to get him to work at this college!" said the head of the department with his holy face while glancing at Fatimah who was currently still staring at Zaki intensely.

"My name is Zaki Al Buchori here I teach about Arabic and Ushul Fiqih. Here I also hold a Tahfidz program for students who want to major in it!" zaki said while folding both hands in front of his chest. By keeping his head down so that it makes Fatimah So gemes made.

'This guy really is an amazing guy. Since then he kept his head down not wanting to look at my face at all!' fatimah in his heart. His eyes continued to stare towards Zaki filled with curiosity.

"Why has Mas Zaki lowered his head so much that he doesn't want to look at me?" fatimah asked with curiosity in her heart.

"Ustaz Zaki's wife didn't go to Jogjakarta?" ask the head of the department to Zaki.

"There my wife is also facing the test sir. It's very risky that my wife is moving now. Later after the exam there is finished then he will move with me here!" zaki answered the head of the department.

" Oh pity Ustad Zaki is still a newlywed already separated!" said the head of the department while teasing Zaki who was currently blushing.

"It's okay sir! Just for a while. Education remains important. I also do not want that because of the marriage my wife has to let go of her ideals!" zaki said as he stood up from his seat.

"What was Ustad Zaki's wife studying for?" asked the head of the department still did not want to release Zaki from before him. Rarely, he can talk to Zaki Sebelas this usually Zaki is very busy with all his lecture schedule and also some seminars that he must fill.

"Faculty of medicine sir. It just so happened to be about to enter the fourth year so my wife has started to get busy with her college and also her final assignment!" said Zaki explained about his wife to the head of the department who seemed to be in charge of his personal affairs.

"Well, Ustaz Zaki's wife is amazing, she's a smart, smart girl!" said the head of the department seemed fascinated listening to Zaki's story about his wife who was newly married three days ago.

"My wife is also a hafizah sir!" zaki said with pride as he told me about his wife his eyes sparkling with happiness.

Fatimah's heart looked hot when she saw the man who had attracted her attention this morning telling her about his wife so enthusiastically.

'Oh my God! Why is the girl Zaki told me like my sister? Don't tell me he's my brother's husband. When did my sister get married? I never knew she was married?' various questions raged in Fatimah's heart about the figure of the woman told by Zaki as his wife.

I don't know what Fatimah will think and do. If she finds out that Zaki is the husband-to-be she rejected and she runs away from her marriage. Zaki eventually married his younger brother, Hilya.

Hilya had to save the family name so she was willing to sacrifice and Hilya finally wanted to be married by force with Zaki in place of the brother who fled their marriage.

Fatimah thought only of her own interests and her dreams. He did not care for his parents who would bear the shame when he just left from the marriage he had agreed to before.

So finally his sister who had to bear all the consequences that he caused from his selfish actions that only think of himself.
