AZZAMS
Back to the Academy

Azzam stopped his vehicle in front of the Soraya residence. After watching him, he drove the girl home. Looking at Arsy's condition, he couldn't possibly linger back home. Soraya tidied up the things she bought earlier.

“Still yes, Zam, Brother Arsy.”

“Same-sama, Sora. Sorry yes, because of me, your show got annoying.”

“Ngga, sis. Quickly healed yes, sis.”

Soraya opened the mobi door, Azzam came down. He was going to take his best friend to the door. Hearing the sound of the car, mama Soraya opened the door.

“Sore, aunt,” greet Azzam while kissing the back of the woman's hand.

“Eh Azzam's. How are you?”

“Alhamdulillah, good aunt.”

“Zam. If you go to Bandung news, we will hangout together again.”

“Iya. I'll go home first, yeah. Aunt, excuse me,” Azzam kissed the back of Soraya's mother's hand again.

“Assalamu’alaikum.”

“Waalaikumsalam.”

From behind the windshield, Arsy keeps a close eye on his sister's interactions. Azzam approached, then got into the car. After putting on his seat belt, the young man ran his vehicle.

“Zam.. You are with Sora, how?”

“What's the way, sis?”

“Your relationship, how?”

“Yes, no matter what. We are just a.”

“But he likes you.”

“If he doesn't like me, we can't do it.”

“Heleh you just cheated. Pretend not to know.”

Azzam only chuckled at the brother's words. He did not want to guess Soraya's attitude towards him. Right now, the young man was still comfortable in the friendzone he had built with Soraya. And during his time with her, the girl always behaved as she was.

“From my thoughts, mending brother thought how to get a soul mate.”

“Dih. His name will also come later soul mate.”

“Where no soul mate comes alone. Still there has to be effort. Sister tuh so a girl do not jutek-jutek, later no one wants to be sister's husband.”

“Ck.. now tuh, nothing interesting in the eyes of brother.”

“Masa? Watch out later if you have koas, klepek-klepek same doctor there.”

“Ck. snobs tau.”

“Unfortunately big brother wants rich guy who the hell?”

“The rich papa, dong. Kan papa is brother's first love.”

“Bother. If the guy is a model papa, surely will be a fuss mulu same brother, hahaha.”.

The young man's voice was heard complaining as Arsy hit him on the shoulder. But no doubt, the girl also smiled. What Azzam asked made him think too.about what kind of man would be his soul mate. Will he get a husband who looks like the papa, as he wants.

Arriving at home, Arsy went straight into his room. His head is still a little dizzy. He wants to lie down for a while before dinner. Azzam also entered his room. He immediately cleaned himself up, after almost a day outside the house. Not much time Azzam took to shower. Now he looks fresh.

Azzam stood in front of the window of his room. His eyes looked at the gray sky, and the night began to rise. His mind returned to his conversation with Arsy. Then he remembered Soraya. The girl was his first female friend and until now their relationship was still fine.

The feeling of comfort is always felt by Azzam every time together with Soraya. The girl could always make her mood good. Plus she is a smart girl as well as a good girl. Azzam himself did not know yet, whether there were more feelings in his heart for Soraya. Hopefully, the distance between them will be able to answer his true feelings for the girl.

After six days of longing with family. Now the time has come, Azzam must return to Magelang and continue his education. Since last night, Arsy doesn't want to be away from his sister. Even Azzam had to accompany his brother to sleep. Even now, the girl continued to be near him. He wants to get Azzam to the airport.

Before heading to the airport, Azzam first came to Abi and Jojo's residence. Of course he should say goodbye to his grandfather and his father. Just like Nara, Nina and Adinda also felt heavy removing their granddaughter away. Azzam promised, if he had returned to Sleman, he would often contact his two favorite grandmothers during holidays.

Arsy hugged his sister when he arrived at the airport. Still not willing to let Azzam back to his education. Kenzie approaches his son, then releases Arsy's embrace.

“Call your sister, don't be like this. Later he will be heavy back to Magelang,” said Kenzie.

“You should call often if you have a holiday.”

“Iya, sis.”

“If you have a holiday, go home. Brother Kangen, you are the one who always manjain brother.”

“Means looking for a guy, let's not ribetin the Azzam mulu,” Zar chirps.

“If you've got a guy, tell me yes, sister.”

“Apaan anyway.”

Azzam's smile glimpsed at Arsy who was advancing his lips. Zar approached Azzam and hugged him. Just like Arsy, actually he also heavily released Azzam back. But as a brother, of course he must support his sister's desire to achieve his goals.

“Health tag, Zam. Your training is heavy.”

“Iya, bang.”

 “Be careful there. Take care of yourself,” said Kenzie while hugging his son.

“Iya, pa. I'm going first. Assalamu’alaikum.”

“Waalaikumsalam.”

After kissing the back of his papa's hand and cuddling with his two older brothers, Azzam enters the boarding pass. He waved his hand before entering. After Azzam was not seen again, the three soon left the airport. While Azzam continued walking, until one of the crew welcomed him. To return to Yogyakarta, Azzam still uses his family's private jet. Later there will be a driver who picks him up and delivers to the military.

After traveling by air, which continued by road, Azzam finally arrived back at the military academy. Just looking at the gate, it made him miss his friends. The man immediately entered and headed straight for the dormitory.

It turned out that many cadets had returned to the dormitory. Their faces look more lively and vibrant after meeting with relatives. Azzam walked towards his barracks. When he opened the door, his friends arrived first. Yakob ran towards him, then jumped over his body.

“Azzaaaaaammmm.”.

Yakob's legs hugged Azzam's waist, while his hands hugged the young man's neck. Azzam's body staggered as Yakob suddenly climbed onto his body. Zachariah approached, and helped bring down Yakob.

“Ngga about brother Yakob. That Azzam can break a bone,” said Zakaria.

“Udah rich aja, stuck in Azzam,” Willi chuckles after.

Azzam went straight to his bed, then tidied his things into the closet. He distributed a little souvenir he brought from Bandung. Of course, everyone is happy to get souvenirs from Azzam.

“How was Lebaran yesterday?” ask Azzam.

“I feel like I'm back in heaven. Eating is not rushed, bathing can be as full, as well as sleeping, hahaha.” replied Zakaria.

“Eh.. Zam. The photo you posted on IG, may you know me one. Clear-clear times tuh girl,” said Yakob.

“That's who you are, Zam?” ask Willi.

“My cousin's brother.”

“The seeds are not canned. I can be your family, Zam. To repair the descent.”

“But they got you, calamity, hahaha.” sela Zakaria.

No doubt Azzam laughed at Zakaria's curse. Fortunately, Yakob is not a sensitive person. The man laughed when he heard Zakaria. Just returned, the excitement in the room was already felt. It is not only Zakaria, Yakob and Willi who tell about their experiences when they came home yesterday. Seno and Eko did not want to be left behind.

The holiday yesterday managed to reflect back the energy and spirit of all cadets and cadets. Now they are ready to undergo training. There was only two more months left to complete integration training in the military academy, before returning to their respective academies.
