When Love Begins to Be Asked

Finally

After they got to the cottage they immediately went to the private residence of the hilyah and Zaki which was located not too far from the residence of Kyai Rashid.

" Umi was very happy because they were both trusted by God to have children, so that after Hilya became pregnant Fatimah would no longer pursue Zaki and could make their marriage between the two of them!" her mother said she was very happy with the news of her daughter's pregnancy.

" Abi also hopes and prays that Fatimah can be opened the door of her heart and find the happiness of her life! Because after all she is also our Princess!" his father Hilya said as he glanced at his wife who seemed to agree with what he said.

" Fatimah is stubborn and always imposes his will on others. But Umi knows that she is a good girl and also has a soft heart!" the husband just nodded his head when the wife said the goodness of Fatimah.

" However the name of the soul mate has been arranged by almighty. When Fatimah ran away from the marriage, Umi was convinced it was because God moved her heart for her to leave the marriage. It must be a sign that Fatimah and Zaki are not matchmakers! but Zaki and Hilya were fooled by the power of God who had done it!" her mother said Hilya felt very confident.

Once in the cottage area, the driver immediately parked the car in the parking lot of Pondok which is very spacious. Because every once a week there must be Wali santri who come to visit their sons in the cottage.

" The cottage is getting crowded Abi. Kyai Rashid is indeed very lucky because it has been trusted by the community to educate their sons in this cottage!" said his mother hilyah was amazed to see so many santri pacing and wara-wiri in front of them.

" May the Son born by Hilya will be a good child who can be devoted to both parents and can continue the struggle of grandfather and also his father in carrying out the duties of Religion as a scholar and umarah!" his father said with hope for his first grandson.

Their presence was immediately welcomed by Kyai Rashid and also Nyai Zahra.

" Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh Bu Nyai! Sorry for both of our delays. Oh, I'm so sorry. The streets are so jammed for a weekend like this!" his mother said Hilya apologized to Kyai Rashid and his wife who seemed happy to welcome them both.

" Thank you for your father and mother's arrival it doesn't matter that we were wrong. For having a sudden thanksgiving like this. The news was also very sudden and also very surprising to all of us!" zahra said with a happy smile to welcome his exhausted-looking besi after traveling long distances by car.

" How about Mr Kyai? Is Fatimah still bothering Zaki and Hilya's household??" ask her mother Hilya is worried.

" Let's go inside, let's talk inside!" kyai Rashid said allowing his guests to enter the hall room which is intended to welcome guests of Pondok and Pondok private that is important.

" So how's Mr Kyai? Can I find out about Fatimah who she said often bothers Zaki at boarding school?" asked her father Hilya felt bad about the matter of Fatimah who had given a lot of trouble in the cottage.

" It's the physical name that doesn't really matter! the most important thing is the heart and also the faith and the fear not to deviate from the rules of religion!" kyai Rashid said to the three of them in the room.

" Up until now Fatimah had never even contacted me once I had never called her. It seems Fatimah was really angry with the decision of the two of us to match Hilya with Zaki." said his mother Hilya while glancing at the nyai maam who just kept looking at him.

" I'm going to the kitchen to see the food. Is it enough for us to eat together." Zaki's mother went straight to the kitchen and helped prepare lunch for the whole family.

" Don't bother having this. We just wanted to see Hilya because we missed her so much!" said his filiyah mother mengbasinya to his besi who looked so excited to welcome them both.

" I'll call Hilya and Zaki to the Hall for a moment to meet you." said Zahra who then immediately rose from his seat and entered the area of the inner cottage to find Santri to call Hilya and Zaki to the room of God.

After giving orders to the santri, Zahra then arranged the kitchen for them to eat lunch together at a table.

" It turns out waiting for that is exhausting. Geez! How cruel I was to let my wife be so lonely when I was out of town" said Zaki who is currently cross-legged on the floor waiting for the arrival of Kyai Rashid and also Zahra's mother who is very influential on him.

" Come in soon the thanksgiving will be done and soon the guests will come!" kyai Rashid said as she looked at the iron that seemed hesitant to sit next to her.

" Besan, it's okay! You guys don't worry my students aren't fierce and they're good people!" kyai Rashid said with a smile.

" No, Mr. Kyai, I am not afraid of them nor of the rules that the cottage has made. I'm just worried that until the negligence it will spread to other students and eventually be used as a culture." he said as he looked at Kyai Rashid who chose to shut up and agree to everything they said. Because to be honest Kyai Rashid disliked the commotion the most.

" Let's have lunch!' said Hilya who called everyone who was in the room to enter the dining room.

" Umi better the food that comes here so that the conversation is not cut off!" kyai Rashid said what he was thinking right now to his wife.

" Okay Abi!!" zahra agreed with what her husband said.

The event then took place lively with the presence of new students and old students and also residents around Pondok.

After arranging the thanksgiving event that had run smoothly both Hilya's parents were asked to rest in the guest room that had been prepared by Zahra for his besi.

" Happy rest besan. Hope you guys can stay at home in our cottage!" zahra said to Hilya's parents.

" Thank you, ma'am, we are deeply moved by the welcome from all of you!" said Hilya's father with a smile.

" Thank God you feel good. Alright I'll go back to the thanksgiving event to clear up the remnants of the event!" Zahra then left the house and allowed the iron to rest and talk without being disturbed by his presence.
