Getting a bachelor's degree is not difficult for her, it does not mean that there are no obstacles in everyday life. Zahra has lost the affection of both her parents since she was 7 years old, both of whom died in a tragic fatal accident that claimed their lives. Since then she has been raised by her uncle until now. Now she is cornered by the polemic of marriage.
The poor girl lay down in the resting place but the sound of her aunt and uncle's conversation was clearly heard by her.
Just marry Zahra to the son of the hajj, sir!
Her aunt asked to seduce her husband.
Ah! There's always this mother, father doesn't agree with Zahra marrying a man whose character is unclear
Mr. Rudy answered with a firm voice.
While Zahra could only cry while complaining to the Creator.
O Allah! I accept all of this, but give me a little strength so that I can face and pass Your test
Zahra's confession to her Lord.
The silent night wind greeted her body with a softness as if inviting her sad heart to sink with the silent night.
After finishing the dawn prayer, she helped her aunt in the kitchen and finished all the housework before she went to work at the tea factory owned by Mr. Haji Syamsuddin, a wealthy merchant who was friendly and generous.
It was different with the family of Haji Syamsuddin or more familiarly called Pak Haji. Pak Haji who was respected and honored by all levels of local society, was busy discussing his son's matchmaking.
Mom! Dad, I've talked to Pak Kiyai, he said! He really agrees if Fahri marries Zahra, said Pak Haji to his wife. Mama also agrees, hopefully this will be the best for our child, okay Pa?
While serving coffee to her husband, Bu Haji smiled happily as if the happy news would happen tomorrow, both of them vented their respective portions, with laughter on their faces.
Mom!
Greet Fahri who just arrived home.
Son! Come here,
Invited the hajj mother with a smile on her face.
It seems like there's a serious conversation going on
Fahri continued while sitting beside his mother.
Son, tonight we are very happy
The hajj mother continued while stroking her son's shoulder.
What on earth makes my beloved mother this happy
While reaching for his mother's hand, Fahri kissed his mother's right palm.
We've seen a woman for you to marry, son, and will propose to you soon
Spontaneously, Fahri's expression changed as if his emotions could not be controlled.
Keep going, ma! Force me with mama's will, arrange Fahri's life as mama pleases
He woke up while continuing to speak impolitely to his parents.
Mom! I'm not a kid anymore, my mom has to prepare everything I need
While reaching for the car keys that he put on the table, Fahri walked away leaving the two of them.
Listen to your mom first Fahri
Mr. Haji shouted at Fahri, who had entered and closed the door to his room.
When will Fahri be allowed to choose his own path in life? Heuuhh?
Fahri continued who was in his room.
Look at that kid, he has no manners towards his parents. What will he be later, Mr. Haji added angrily, while Mrs. Haji looked like she had lost her spirit on her face.
To be continued...
Greetings always compact.
