When Love is Tassified

Chapter 7 - Finding a Job

Azzam Residence.

All the family members enjoyed breakfast together. This happy little family enjoyed the food that Azzura had cooked.

Azzam, Azriel, Fatimah's mother, Khanza, and Naufal's toddler also enjoyed it.

"The food that Azzura cooks is never in doubt, the more delicious it is to eat" Fatimah said.

"Mama's right, I just love my wife more and more. He is good at everything" said Azzam, praising his wife's never-failing cooking in his senses.

"Mother is the best" exclaimed Khanza who also praised his mother.

Which woman is not happy to get compliments from her in-laws, husband and children. Since marrying Azzam, Azzura has received praise from everyone. It makes him happy despite the small things.

"From the first Mother's cooking is the best. That's why I rarely eat out because if a day does not eat Mother's cooking, like there is less," Azriel said in praise of her Mother's cooking.

"Ah you all exaggerate, Mother's cooking is not as good as the cuisine of the chefs. Just regular food."

"Have it been better that we enjoy this breakfast together before Azriel leaves for Cairo" Fatimah said, proud of her granddaughter's success in the lessons.

"Yes, we should spend some time together before you leave. If Mr. Azriel had been in Cairo, we would have rarely gathered like this and would have spent very little time" Khanza said.

"Of course we will spend time together, surely later Big Brother will miss you, miss Father and Mother, miss Naufal as well miss Grandma too." There is a sense of sadness considering they will part until they teach you to graduate college. However, this is one of the risks he must face when deciding to study abroad.

"Ah Mother so sad," said Azzura who was also equally sad to be far from her eldest son.

For a moment, they finished breakfast first. After everything finished breakfast, they re-assembled in the family room to enjoy the togetherness created.

The little Naufal was in the arms of his brother, Azriel. The two-year-old toddler was so adorable as he laughed sitting on his stomach.

"Will Khanza also go to school in a boarding school?" ask Fatimah.

"Khanza wants him to go to school while on the mute, wants to be like Azriel, who is also studying" replied Khanza, spoiled on his arms.

"Are you sure you want to stay at the cottage? Lodge life is not like everyday life at home. Waking up must be on time, must follow the studies in the cottage, must memorize every memorization that has been determined by the pesantren, to eat even potluck like at home," said Azzura who already knew how the cottage life. He who used to stop at one of the boarding houses owned by Umi Qulsum knows the daily activities of the students and also knows what to do there.

"Dear, will you be at home? Sleep alone sometimes still want to be accompanied by Mother, I'm not sure you will feel at home there."

"Dad, if we don't try we won't know what's going to happen in our lives. As long as the path that Khanza chooses is the best, still on the straight and Allah-diridhoi road, then Khanza will take it with pleasure. Insyaallah Khanza will not complain because previously kanza had wondered to people who had gone mondok," replied Khanza there is no word to refuse in demanding the knowledge he wanted.

His parents were so proud of the princess who wanted to study at the cottage. Haru taste enveloped the heart of Azzura and Azzam where they never thought that their children wanted to study in a cottage. Of course they would not forbid the wishes of his sons.

"What a grown-up your mind. Grandma is proud of you and Azriel. You are both young candidates who will succeed in both the world and the hereafter." Fatimah's heartfelt prayers go out to her two grandchildren.

"Aamiin, we also hope for success in the world and the afterlife. And we hope that we can help you one day enter into the heavens" Azriel said, sitting on Naufal's side.

"Not only you dear, I am also touched to have sons and daughters who are Soleh and shalihah. It is all thanks to your intervention that always educates our sons to be men who are obedient to their Lord and useful to their neighbors."

"Yes, Azzam is right. Thanks to your upbringing they also become like this" said Fatimah.

"Kok even so mellow like this anyway? Instead of being sad, how about we go for a walk?" azzam said comforting the atmosphere of haru that had just happened there.

"Again, I want to." Khanza cheered loudly and happily when his father took a walk.

"Does Naufal want to go for a walk?" azriel asked her youngest sister. The thick-bodied toddler smiled broadly as he clapped his hands.

"Yin ... Yan ... Yan ... yeeee ...." Naufal cheered happily making the old men laugh happily.

Togetherness, warmth, cheerfulness, jokes and laughter that are rarely created in a family are always created in the Azzam and Azzura families.

"Then let's get ready." Azzura took Naufal in Azriel's lap.

"Hoyeee ...."

*****

Unlike the life of Naura who was hit by a disaster. Disaster split between mother and child caused by a third person. Naura who decided to get out of her mother's house was hanging in the street looking for a job.

The beautiful young girl continued to browse every selling place to get a job.

"Excuse me ma'am, are there any job openings here? It's okay to be a dishwasher as long as I can do it" Naura told the restaurant's mother.

"Nothing, just let you get out of here! Go!" The mother kicked Naura out because there was no vacancy there.

Naura let out a long breath. "Where else should I find a job to support my needs? I can't possibly burden my mother anymore."

Naura's steps were so limp, she did not give up and continued to walk from one place to another in order to get a job. And Naura again tried asking the restaurant.

"Excuse me ..." Not yet finished, Naura has been expelled first by the security guard who is there.

"Hey, what are you doing here? Beggars are prohibited from begging in the surrounding area!" exclaim mr. security guard.

"Sir, I'm not a beggar."

"I can't believe it, go you!" The security guard pushed Naura's body.

"Sorry, sir." I want to feel Naura crying lamenting her fate that does not know where to go. Getting out of the house doesn't bring any money.
