"Carissa, get back to the dorm." - Ustadz Andan.
With a careless attitude Carissa left them. Then Ustadz Adnan looked at Zayn who looked down like never before.
"Come with me."
"Tadm..."
Ustadz Andan looked back at him so sharply that Zayn could no longer continue his words. After that Ustadz Andan brought Zayn to the dormitory office.
"Have you forgotten that this is your last chance at boarding school?"
"No."
"Why did you break the rules?"
"If Ustadz had come early it would have been Ustadz knew I had accidentally met him."
"If not accidentally, You should immediately avoid, Not even linger alone."
"I've tried to avoid it but He keeps stopping me from leaving."
"She'll also definitely say if you're the one holding her away."
Zayn lowered his head, He doesn't know what to say anymore.
"Let Mr. Kiai determine whether you need to be punished or not."
"I beg Tadz, Do not let Mr. Kiai know, This is just a misunderstanding."
"Why do you look so scared when you get out, is this because of Ning Faza?"
Zayn raised his face in astonishment at Ustadz Adnan's words.
"Is my guess right?"
"Sorry Tadz, the Ustadz Question is already in my personal domain, so I don't have to answer it."
Ustadz Andan was silent, Ustadz Adnan was humanly jealous of Zayn's unceremonious courage to show interest in Faza. I want it to mix up personal feelings and pesantren rules. But his faith is far stronger than the inner impulse to do what is wrong with Zayn.
"go back to the dorm."
Zayn looked at Ustadz Adnan in disbelief.
"You didn't hear me?"
Zayn nodded and left the office.
•••
One month later at a university park where Faza was studying, In his solitude he remembered Zayn and his words which were always meaningful and melted his heart,
But Faza was startled by the voice of a stranger in his ears.
"Can't you stop thinking about me?"
Faza immediately opened his eyes and was so surprised to see Zayn already standing in front of him.
"M-b... Mas Zayn." Faza immediately turned his gaze behind him.
"Ibn Hajar said in the book of Tuhfatul Hama," Love is not forbidden and sin is in the eyes of men and the law. Because the Heart is in the power of Allah Azza wajala," said Zayn who then sat behind Faza.
"I don't understand why you're telling me that" said Faza, who kept turning his back on Zayn.
"Look at me then I'll explain."
"From Jarir bin Abdullah, "I asked the Prophet about a glance that was superficial or unintentional. Then the Prophet ordered that I immediately turn my eyes away." said Faza.
"Well, you don't have to look at me, 'cause even in my closed eyes I can see your face."
"Don't cross your line, How are you here."
"I asked Mr. Kiai for permission to return to Jakarta, but before that I want to see you."
"You lied to Abi?"
"No, I'll really go home, but after I tell you one thing."
"Say and leave immediately, I don't want our meeting to be slanderous."
"Well, Listen I'm fine, like Idgham Mithlain sighair is only one mim, In my heart there's also only one Ning Faza."
As soon as Faza's heart flowered, it felt like he was staring at the man who had just said that. But his faith does not allow it.
"If Ning Faza has the same feeling, I'm ready to face Abi to justify our relationship."
"You should talk to Abi first before you talk to me."
Zayn was happy to hear "Is this code if you want the same thing?"
Faza was aghast at hearing that, Even he seemed to unconsciously say that.
"Alright Ning, I'll talk to Abi as you please."
Faza looked back. But he could only see the back of Zayn who had gone far away leaving him.
"What do I say, what if he really talks to Abi, and what about Ustadz Adnan?"
Seriate...
