Resignation of Zaki

Zaki set foot toward the rectorate and met the Rector who was the campus where he worked.

"Is Mr Rector here?" Ask Zaki to his secretary.

"There's inside! What's wrong?" ask the secretary to Zaki.

"Can you help me to convey my arrival to the Rector? Tell him that Zaki Al Bukhari wants to meet him!" zaki told the secretary.

"Oh my God! It turns out you are a lecturer who is going viral, yes you definitely want to talk about the problem huh?" said the secretary while staring at Zaki from the top of his hair to the tip of his feet so that makes Zaki feel uncomfortable made.

"Help me to convey my arrival to him!" zaki told the secretary to tell the rector immediately that he wanted to see him.

"Well, wait a minute! I will convey about your arrival to the Rector!" said the secretary while commenting on a smile to Zaki.

"Jeez, it's true that made Ms. Fatimah crazy. How not? He is a very handsome and attractive man! Aah I too if in a place like Sister Fatimah will definitely go crazy for her too!" said the secretary while leaving Zaki in his confusion.

"Geez! Why does everyone everywhere make me feel confused?" zaki grumbled unconsciously.

"Please Mr. Zaki has been awaited by the rector!" said the secretary while reviewing a smile to Zaki as if not satisfied to look at his face.

"Thank you!" said Zaki then he immediately stepped foot into the Rector's room and met the most important leaders on campus.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatulli wabarakatuh!" zaki remained when he first met the rector of his campus.

"Waalaikumsalam Warahmatullahi Westarakatuh! please Mr. Zaki to sit there!" the Rector's speech allowed Zaki to sit on the sofa that is usually used for his guests.

"It was a great pleasure to get a visit from Mr. Zaki. Hows it? Is there anything important?" asked the Rector with a smile to Zaki who was currently trying to gather his courage to resign from the campus.

"Listen Mr. Rector about the news circulating on social media because of the behavior of a lecturer who brought my name!" said Zaki a little nervous to express the intention of his arrival.

"Well! What happened to the news? Is that true, that Miss Fatimah is your real future wife?" asked the Rector as if interested in the personal life of a Zaki.

"True Mr. Rector! At first, I was supposed to marry him. But on our wedding day he left the wedding and then we accidentally met at this place and somehow, somehow, she could tell that I was her future husband that she had left behind! And then he asked me to cancel the marriage between me and his sister. I, who loved my wife, refused and always tried to avoid her. But he didn't seem to give up on approaching me and his climax. He's crazy like that. Yes, as you can see in the video circulating on social media" said Zaki explained everything in an honest way to the Rector who turned out to be able to understand the storyline in question.

"Then how will Mr Zaki face this kind of crisis? Because honestly yesterday's problems have eroded a lot of our campus reputation!" the Rector said while staring at Zaki Intensely. He was trying to judge the man before him.

”I'm sorry Mr Rector! I have been talking to my family and my wife. One of the solutions we can do is with me resigning from this campus. This was done to avoid the much greater slander caused by Fatimah who still did not want to give up on approaching me!" said Zaki lowered his head Because honestly he was very embarrassed to talk about his personal matters with others.

"I can understand the problem Mr. Zaki is facing right now. The problem of women is very complicated. So that we will certainly face a lot of Dilemma and also confusion in going through the problem!" said the Rector while smiling at Zaki.

"How about I recommend you to the campus in Jakarta Pak Zaki? Incidentally there is a campus where the rector is still my best friend when we used to study together!" WhatsApp Rector is very understanding of the problems currently being faced by Zaki.

"Sir Zaki can teach there for a while. Later if the problem between Pak Zaki and Bu Fatimah is calm and possible. If Mr. Zaki wants to go back to this campus, we will accept you with open arms!" the Rector said while commenting on a smile to Zaki so as to make Zaki feel calm in his heart with the decision that has been taken.

"I happen to have plans to teach at the college where my wife studied!" then Zaki mentioned the name of the famous campus in Jakarta which is now the place of his beloved wife's alma mater.

"God is truly something extraordinary. Incidentally the campus that I want to recommend to Mr. Zaki is also the campus. You really are a match for that college!!" the Rector's words while laughing made Zaki feel calm in his heart.

"Alhamdulillah Sir! When our thinking is the same I hope that as long as I teach here I leave no negative imprint that makes my name tarnish!" said Zaki felt bad about his problems along with Fatimah which ultimately forced him to resign from campus. Because he no longer wants to be involved in the problems that Fatimah always made to him.

"Calm Mr Zaki! We know who is wrong and who is right here. Indeed, if it is a matter of the heart, we will be very difficult to define a mistake and a truth. But the problem here, the important thing is Mr. Zaki who can respond wisely. Don't make Ms. Fatimah feel misunderstood and end up ruining Mr. Zaki's household with your wife!" said Mr. Rector gave his opinion to Zaki about his views on the problems currently faced by Zaki along with Fatimah.

"Pak Zaki's decision is correct and correct. So that Ms. Fatimah does not have false expectations with her feelings for Mr. Zaki. That with Mr. Zaki doing something like this means Mr. Zaki has confirmed to Ms. Fatimah that Mr. Zaki never wanted him back in your life!" said her.

"Thank you sir for your support May one day we return to this campus and dedicate my life to teaching the students who need the knowledge I have!" zaki said as he got up from his seat and then he handed his resignation letter to the Rector.

"Please forgive me if as long as I work in this place. I may have mistakes or things that damage the reputation of the campus. Hopefully in the future I can be more aware of myself to be able to behave with my colleagues!" zaki said farewell to the Rector.

"Yes I really hope that one day Mr. Zaki will return to our campus again. Although in fact I am somewhat sanctioned if considering Mr. Zaki is a Gus and also the prospective heir to a very large boarding school in Indramayu! I'm sure Mr. Zaki's parents must have urged him to help him there!" Zaki felt jolted as he listened to what the Rector said to him.

'God, why did I never think to do that? Though I know very well that Abi was so desperate to take care of his students. O Allah, may this be a rebuke to the servant, who has been insensitive to the problems faced by servant parents who have given affection and also the best education for slaves?' inner Zaki as he left the Rector's room without looking at his surroundings.

Zaki who was currently busy thinking about the words of the Rector before they separated, did not realize that Fatimah had been watching him from a distance. With teary eyes. But Fatimah did not dare to approach Zaki. Because he is currently in the Rectorate area. There was no way he would destroy his reputation for the second time by going insane there.
