My phone keeps shaking.

I know it must be Zaki because other than my daughter and mother, Zaki is the only one who will call my number. If the Princess is impossible because I know she wakes up always afternoon let alone school holidays.

After cleaning the breakfast plate, I take the phone I put on the table to eat.

"That's Zaki." I called back. "Hallo Zaki what's up in the morning. Don't tell me kangen." I said to Zaki.

//Yes definitely miss dong sweet lady. Mumpung holiday I want to take you the way to the Mall. Here I've been on the road you're ready. My sweet dahh.// Zaki just hung up.

"If Zaki takes me down that road, it means it's our first date." I smiled to myself, attracting my attention.

"Hayo thinks what a smile of his own."

"This is Miss Zaki walking?"

"Yes, there is an important way to take care of yourself. Where are you going to say it?"

"To the mall said Ma. Maybe go to the cinema. Adel's never been the same guy."

"Yes, do you want to use the color?" My mother looked at me from top to bottom. And shake his head.

I smiled and ran to the room. I chose the hijab style. I took my nude powder and lipstick. Then I changed my color and tee shirt with a black plisket skirt and pink knit with a black pasmina hijab and white shoes. Actually I would love to always wear a hijab but there is a reason for me to hesitate to wear it.

In less than 15 minutes Zaki arrived after just hanging up the phone.

"Assalamu'alaikum." Zaki said his greetings in front of the door.

"Wa'alaikumsalam." Mom answered Zaki's greeting and walked into the living room. "Eh Nak Zaki find Adelia huh. Let's enter. Please sit down, son." Mother said so kindly.

"And I want to invite Adel to play can not?" Zaki asked the mother who kept looking at him with a smile.

"Can kok. Aunty will call her Adel." Mom then went to my room.

"Del that Zaki has come hunting do not let in waiting for Mother still clean-up behind ya. Be careful not to come home tonight." Mom went back to the kitchen.

I also came out of the room.

"Adel the road first, ma'am." My scream.

Zaki who heard my voice instantly stood up and looked at me without blinking. This is the first time Zaki has seen me in a hijab.

I walked closer to him. Zaki smiled.

"When do we walk?" Ask Zaki who is still looking at my appearance.

"Eh sorry you really are more beautiful wearing a hijab. I like you more, Del. Come on Tarjo sir wait a little later." Zaki also walked out of the house to the car parked in the front yard and I followed him. He opened the car door for me. I went in and Zaki sat next to me.

Mr. Tarjo started the car and drove away from my house.

"Let Pak Tarjo look for the nearest Mall. Mr. Tarjo understands all the ways in the world." Canda Zaki's.

"Otherwise we want to do the roads doang aja see people ya hehe."

"It's up to you to make it clear that I want you to be happy today." Zaki looked at me. And I just blushed.

Long enough we look for the Mall in question. But there's no. Mr. Tarjo just took us to a supermarket.

"If you want to shop here Den. Because the Mall is in the city takes 3 hours later dear on his journey." Said Mr. Tarjo who parked his car. "The 5-minute walk to there is a very nice park view Den, who knows want to play there too." Connect Mr. Tarjo.

"Well makasi sir we come out first if it's finished Zaki call ya." Zaki said to Tarjo and opened the door and exited the car. Zaki ran around and opened the door for me.

"What do you want to buy Zak?"

"I don't know if we'll look at it first. Come on in." We walked in without joining. I don't know why I like Zaki. He's so polite.

Supermarket is not so big but there are many items that can be purchased for the hobby of shopping. That doesn't include me.

The door opened and the coldness of the AC seeped into my skin.

"To that side yuk Del." Zaki leads to a Time Zone on the right. Zaki plays a game that prizes dolls. There are several kinds of dolls in a large box. My eyes were fixed on Minnie mouse.

"Wait here I want the coin tucker first." I also nodded. After swapping the Zaki coins back with a lot of coins."I know which eye you saw. Let me try to get it." Zaki blinked one eye. I can only smile.

I don't know why Zaki seems to know everything I like. After inserting the coin Zaki tried to take the doll I liked. Yeah, it's Minnie mouse.

Failed once. Twice fail so on up to 7x. I could only laugh at Zaki's annoyed facial expression.

"Wait for Del I'll try again." I just nodded while holding back my laughter. Zaki was so focused on getting Minnie the mouse and finally the 8x Zaki coin to succeed.

"YES!" Zaki jumped up and down in excitement without shame. "It's Del for you." Zaki gives Minnie the mouse doll. I took it and hugged it. "You can hold her when you miss me."

"Thanks yes." I re-hugged the doll that Zaki gave because he got it with full struggle.

"What don't you want to play?" Ask Zaki.

"I'd rather see the natural scenery than play the Zak game." Obviously me.

"If so we go to the park that Mr. Tarjo meant just now." Said Zaki.

"May." answered me.

Before we get out, Zaki's road stops at a Muslim shop.

"Del here first." Take Zaki to the store.

"You like which one Del." Zaki was looking at some Muslim clothes. Take it and then pin it on my body. Zaki returned the clothes that he thought were not suitable for me. He kept choosing I just followed in his footsteps without saying anything. I know this will make him happy. "Well, this is good. Ma'am please pack this up. The same hijab emm.it mbak." Zaki pointed at a maroon color hijab and gave the maroon gown.

Zaki's choice wasn't bad even the size was right for me. After paying we went out of the supermarket and walked in search of the park that Mr. Tarjo meant.
