When Love Begins to Be Asked

Zaki Consciousness

Farel contacted someone on his cell phone.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatulli wabarakatuh!" Farel said greeting someone across the street.

"Waalaikumsalam Warahmatullahi Westarakatuh! How are you Farel? Aih, you haven't called grandma in a long time! during Zaki's wedding you just left without saying goodbye to us!" qonita said to Farel in a disappointed tone.

"I'm sorry Grandma because I was in such a hurry that I had an important meeting to attend on campus!" farel apologized to Qonita.

"Well forget it now tell grandma why you called grandma this early?" tanya Konita was curious about Farel who suddenly contacted her this morning.

"Nek was Fatimah's future wife who ran away from her marriage with Uncle Zaki. He comes to Farel to ask permission for leave, saying that he wants to talk to both his parents and Uncle Zaki's wife!" farel reported what Fatimah would do to his grandmother Qonita.

"Did he work at your school? How did you meet Fatimah?" tanya Konita was not happy to hear the news about Fatimah who again wanted to disturb her son's household.

"Grandma just don't understand why Fatimah always bothers your uncle when she ran away from your uncle's wedding Somehow that woman is shameless at all always chasing Uncle going everywhere!" said Qonita feeling very unhappy at this moment.

"Yes Nek Farel just said that the family there could prepare about what would be done if Fatimah demanded her right to be uncle Zaki's wife!" farel was unhappy when he felt that his grandmother was unhappy.

"Sir, is it true that Uncle Zaki loves Aunt Hilya??" farel asked as if in his Uncle's business.

"Obviously they're willing to have the marriage they've done if grandma's love problem doesn't know because she's never asked them both!" qonita tried to be calm.

"Yes already Nek later if Uncle Zaki returns to Jogjakarta. Maybe Farel will try to mediate on their issues!" farel said at the end.

"Your uncle will not return to Jogjakarta. Because he is now on his way back to Jakarta. Because he had already established himself from the university!" qonita told Farel the latest news about Zaki.

"What a shame, Grandma! My uncle's future is very good here. We desperately need Uncle's science. But yes, maybe it is better for Uncle Zaki than the household of uncle and aunt Hilya is damaged, because the act of Fatimah who always chased after him. Maybe this is the best option!" farel.

Qonita who heard the commotion outside finally walked out to check about what was happening there.

"It was Farel. Don't know what's outside. It's so horrendous. Grandma wants to check on that first, huh? Be careful in Jakarta because your parents are not with you!" qonita message.

"Yes Grandma! Papa and Mama are still in Dubai because Grandpa Andika is sick and Uncle Cakra also prefers to live in France with his wife and son. while Aunt Amanda is always busy with her husband and also their son. No one's watching me, Grandma! I am like a man in this world! hiks hyks!" farel said by acting like crying.

"Already Farel! Stop that acting. It's really ugly. Grandma was not happy. Grandma had to close it. Because grandma was so curious what the hell is out there!" qonita told Farel to immediately close their call.

After the call was closed by Farel. Qonita immediately went out and felt surprised when he got Zaki who was now in front of him along with Hilya the wife.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Umi!" zaki said as he kissed and shook his mother's hand which he missed so much.

"Waalaikumsalam Dear Umi's son! Oh Allah Umi is very happy. You're finally home, baby!" said Qonita while kissing both cheeks of Zaki.

"Zaki kangen umi!" zaki said as he hugged his mother's body, which he hadn't seen in a month.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi, Umi!" hilya said to her mother-in-law who was still euphoric with the arrival of Zaki.

"Waalaikumsalam Warahmatullahi Westarakatuh. Umi's favorite daughter-in-law. You are more beautiful, baby! Well, it's worth Zaki being so crazy about you baby! Every day contacted by Umi it's hard to always be busy his cell phone!" qonita said with a joking tone.

"Don't believe it baby, Umi isn't serious, she's just kidding him!" zaki said with a red face because his mother said too bluntly about him. He met her twice since their marriage.

The first time Zaki came to Jakarta. He immediately picked up his wife to go to Indramayu. Because he missed both his parents so much. When he left for Jogjakarta yesterday, Zaki did not stop by because the ranking was in a hurry to get to Jogjakarta because early in the morning he had to go to the campus.

"Let's Abimu must miss you guys a lot too. Every day he'd tell Umi to call you!" qonita said as she drew Zaki and Hilya's hands to enter the room normally occupied by Kyai Rashid while he was resting during the day.

"Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Abi!" Zaki immediately ran to kiss and hug his father whom he missed so much.

Parting with them for a month was actually not too heavy for Zaki. It was just that his current position was Zaki feeling guilty. Because he was insensitive and never thought to help his elderly father.

Along the way to Jakarta, Zaki always thought about the words of the Rector at the campus where he worked, before he resigned yesterday.

"What's wrong with you, Zaki? Why are you crying? Is there a problem you're having, son? Why did you meet Abi and cry?" kiai Rashid asked as she stroked the hair of her son who was still tightly hugging his body with tears.

"I'm sorry Zaki Abi. Because Abi had to take care of this boarding school by himself. Zaki never thought about helping Abi. During this time, Zaki only thought of pursuing Zaki's ideals and dreams of becoming a lecturer!" zaki said as he hugged his father's body tightly and the tears that continued to linger on his cheeks because of the great sadness that was now felt in his heart.

"Easy! Don't think too much about the problem. Abi believes that one day God will blow into your heart to want to focus on taking care of the boarding school!" kyai Rashid said softly as she patted Zaki on the shoulder who was still sobbing in tears of sadness and also felt guilty because she had never thought of helping her elderly father and seemed weakened by his physical strength and strength also his health.

Indeed, in this one year, Kyai Rashid has begun to look older and tired. Two months ago, before the wedding Zaki Kiai Rashid had entered the hospital and almost died. That is what finally made Zaki's eyes open and willing to accept his match with Fatimah.

"Your brothers are all married and they also have their own cottage. It would be impossible for them to take care of this cottage. Now Abi only you and your wife will devote your lives in educating the best sons in this country to become hafiz and Hafizah scholars. they are the shoots that are the hope and also the lamp for our religion, our nation and our nation, we have a great responsibility to educate them!" kyai Rashid looked at Zaki with a very calm and calm look.

"Yes Abi. Zaki will try to help Abi. But now Hilya still hasn't graduated. Perhaps Zaki will focus on teaching at the cottage and helping Abi after Hilya graduates from her college!" zaki said, calm down.
