When Love Begins to Be Asked

Fatimah's Madness

"What do you mean by question?" Tanya Zaki immediately left Fatimah in her dumbstruck.

"Wait for me to talk to you!" Fatimah's after Zaki.

But Zaki just kept ignoring his call.

"I am Fatimah AzZahra son of Toni Angkasa from Jakarta. Your real wife-to-be!" fatimah said as she shouted at Zaki.

"Then why? What's important? Do I care about you?" Zaki asked with eyes glaring at Fatimah.

"I want you to cancel your marriage to Hilya and we'll continue our wedding plans!" fatimah said without feeling any shame at all.

Zaki laughed heartily listening to the wish uttered by Fatimah.

"You think I'm a man with no self-esteem huh? After you've thrown it away and I want to take you now? Don't dream! Do you think I'm stupid? Want to accept a selfish woman like you? Who doesn't even care about your own family's good name and runs away from a marriage you don't want!" said Zaki with fiery eyes staring at Fatimah so as to make Fatimah chirp her guts.

"I didn't know who you were and didn't know you. So I ran away from that marriage. But now I've changed my mind. I want you to be my husband!" fatimah said with tears.

"Curtain! Crazy woman! Do you think I'd be tempted by your crocodile tears?" zaki said in disgust at Fatimah and left Fatimah alone.

"I'll take you from my sister!" yelled Fatimah so that Zaki turned his face away and looked at her for a moment.

"Please if you want to lose your reputation as a lecturer. Know that your actions are shameful! My wife is a thousand times better than you. A woman who doesn't think about her family's good name is just your ego. You ran away to become a lecturer, right? And now you want to just destroy it? You are a very stupid woman!" He left Fatimah and did not care what Fatimah said. Because he was fed up with that woman.

"Based on a crazy woman as she pleases she is toying with other people's feelings. It's good, I've married his sister and he told me to cancel the wedding. Is marriage a child's game? I could have been slashed with my Abyku. Is he responsible if I am removed from my family's KK? I could be beaten up by Abi! Moreover, Umi who really loves my wife can be crossed out I became her child just for the sake of that crazy woman! Not to me! O Allah, forgive me my sins because my heart is so dirty like this!" said Zaki continued to stroke his chest and then he contacted his mother who was in Indramayu.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatulli wabarakatuh!" Zaki called his mother.

"What's up, kid. Is there a need?" ask Qonita to Zaki.

"Enjoy! Umi knows a woman named Fatimah Azzahra whose sister is Hilya! Umi ever met him?" Ask Zaki.

"Umi met him once during your application. What's wrong?" ask Qonita curiously.

"Astaghfirullahaladzim! How is there such a shameless woman as her? He has seen you on your wedding day. If there was no Hilya then our family would have endured disgrace and shame. Our family's good name will be tarnished because of the cancellation of the wedding. Now she suddenly came and wanted to marry you?? If you care about that woman. Trust me I'll never get to know you again!" qonita said with emotion.

"Calm Umi. I'm also a man with pride. I would not accept her being my wife. After what he did to our family with him, he ran away from marriage. Didn't he insult us? Now that she knows Zaki, she says she loves me, she really is a girl with no adab!" zaki said with emotion.

"You better get out of that college. Move to Jakarta so that you and Hilya do not have to be far apart again. Avoid the slander that will make your household fall apart!" Qonita tried to advise her son.

"Wouldn't it be better if you taught at Hilya's college? So that Hilya does not have to move to Jogja. Let's just move here. You avoid that poisonous snake. Anyway Umi is not willing if you cancel your marriage with Hilya!" Qonita asserted her unwillingness to be coerced with Fatimah.

"Ya Umi later Zaki will discuss with the rectorate. Hopefully they allow Zaki to mutate to Jakarta!" said Zaki.

"It is better to avoid such poisonous snakes than later will provide poison in your household life. Hilya is a good woman. Umy sure she'll be a good wife to you!" qonita assured her son.

"Yes Umi Zaki knows! Umi need not worry. Zaki knows what's best for Zaki's life!" zaki reassured his mother.

"Later Umi will call your in-laws so that she can rebuke Fatimah so as not to bother you again!" qonita said with an incredible tone of anger.

"Better from now on you should avoid Fatimah. Don't you ever see her again. You should remember Umi Zaki's message. If your Abi hears this news, he'll be on a rampage too!" Qonita gave her message before they finally decided on the call.

"What Umi said. It's better that I leave this campus and move to Jakarta it's much better to avoid greater harm!" finally, Zaki decided to leave the campus and move to the campus where Hilya is currently studying.

"I will meet with the Rector and ask for a letter of recommendation from him. So that I can move to Jakarta easily!" with great steadiness Zaki finally came to the rectorate where he worked for several months.

Once we get to the rectorate building. Zaki immediately went to the Rector's room of the campus. To ask his permission to move to Jakarta.

"But I've only been working at this college for a few months. Is it possible, I'll be able to get a letter of recommendation from him?" immediately raised doubts in Zaki's heart because he also felt at home working in that place.

"If I move jobs. For sure it will make me have to start again from scratch and also have to re-adapt to a new environment!" suddenly Zaki became doubtful of the decision that had been taken.

"It's late tonight I'll try to have a discussion with Hilya, my wife. Who knows if he can provide a solution for me!" eventually Zaki decides to go home and tries to calm himself down in the apartment.

"I'm sure I'll never be tempted by Fatimah. It's just that I don't want to cause slander between the two of us and I don't want to hurt my wife. If he finds out I work in the same place as Fatimah!" zaki said while weighing the phone in his hand he was waiting for his wife to call him.
