Fana Kasih Berahat Gamb
Chapter 5. His name is Zein

Morning arrived with beautiful eyes rising from the east, it seemed that all humans had scattered in the face of the earth to make a living and children went to school. Likewise with Zahara and Salma, two beautiful village girls are now busy carrying baskets made of worn burlap on their right and left.

With a slow step Zahara and Salma continue to follow the road to the rice fields are very broad yellow rice sign is ripe and will soon be harvested.

“Sit down first yuk Zahar” said Salma when he arrived and immediately sat himself in a small cottage while removing his plates, cups, spoons and other cutlery from the basket he brought earlier.

Zahara did not answer Salma's words, Zahara just sat on the other side with her hands also painstakingly removing things from the basket she was carrying.

Meanwhile, the mothers who come downstairs are already in the lumpuran rice fields and ready to harvest with gloves and socks complete with a headscarf of a beautiful folded sarong above the head is so that the sun does not make the head hurt.

“Ooo Beberu.. udah it sit-nya” said one of the mothers with a little shout towards Zahara and Salma who are still sitting dreamy. Zahara and Salma are aware they are called

“ Yes mak” said they simultaneously and immediately move from sitting comfortably while using rice cutting equipment

Beberu is a call for adult girls. Meanwhile, Bebujang is a call for a grown boy from the Gayo tribe.

The rice paddies owned by Salma's parents are not so much, plus the number of mothers who help, making the process of cutting rice this time not long just up to dzuhur.

Zahara and Salma came out first from the rice fields to the small cottage and began removing one by one from the rice cottage and side dishes along with banana compotes to eat together before going home.

With painstaking Zahara and Salma serve rice and side dishes in front of the mothers who have come out of the rice fields and sit outside the cottage while enjoying the wind blowing slowly and refreshing.

“That's who mak Salma?” ask a mother to Salma's mother while pointing to the crowd of men carrying a rice machine that looks very heavy, he said, until it must be carried by four to 5 people using long bamboo and walking towards them.

“Ohhhh that..the children wander here, he said from Medan” said buk Salma and All eyes were on the direction intended by the mothers. Zahara and Salma

Zahara and Salma also did not forget to look in the direction intended by the mothers

Spontaneously their eyes met and immediately coughed in surprise to see who was coming quickly they could understand the contents of each other's heads.

“Basic flirtatious children, know which one is handsome” cursed mother Salma to both of them

Zahara and Salma who heard the words immediately smiled wryly and timidly while sipping the water in front of them. With a curious look Zahara looked at Salma as to why the man was under Salma. Salma who found the sight only showed a confused face back to Zahara.

“Eat first nak” said Ms. Salma after they put a rice machine not far from them

“Iya buk” said they politely while looking down and wiping their sweat using a towel located on their neck respectively.

“Girls quickly serve there” Said Salma's mother reigning to Zahara and Salma

Zahara and Salma who heard they were being suckled immediately rushed to put down his plate and began to take the part that was to be given to the men.

“You first”

“Ihhh you first Sal, this is your rice field” they both encourage each other not to step first to guess.

Seeing the behavior of these two girls, one of them finally decided to stand up and take the tableware from their hands one by one.

Zahara who was shocked to see a hand holding a basket he was carrying immediately looked up and was surprised to see the man he met in the market at that time, now standing in front of him with a very close distance.

“Sini let me aja” his words softly while smiling.

Zahara was stunned to see this sweet smile of the person in front of her, so beautiful.

The man just smiled and pulled the basket slowly from Zahara's grip which he still held tightly.

Looking at Zahara who was still holding her basket tightly, Salma quickly shook Zahara's arm hard

“Oh yes” said Zahara clumsy and embarrassed then bowed and then released his grip.

“Don't be shy, just relax” he said while laughing at the behavior of these two women.

“Iya bg” said as they nodded slowly and gave the food basket they held.

“Zein... quickly” one of the men from the crowd called out in a slightly shouted tone

“Iya bg” said and passed leaving Zahara and Salma with a sweet smile

‘Zein?… his name is Zein?’ in Zahara's mind wondered followed by a smile because she was happy that she finally now knew the name of the man.

“Ayok” Salma invites Zahara to go to the cottage.

“Nak... Mamak go home first, you wait here until the bachelor is ready to eat ya” said Salma's mother while arranging their used dishes into the basket again.

Zahara and Salma just nodded slowly and sat back inside the cottage while waiting.

One by one the mothers left the rice fields with a noise and laughter that was hoarse. I don't know what they were talking about Zahara just remained silent until the voice was no longer heard in his ear.

Zahara and Salma remained silent without a word while pensively looking at the vast rice field scenery and comfortable to the eye, zahara's eyes came to a halt when his eyes wanted to stop for a moment looking at the man who had been disrupting his mind and heart for two days. Without him noticing his lips lifted and formed an arch when he saw the man he was looking at.

“Cie... fell in love ni ye” Salma chuckled and mocked her friend.

“Ih Salma what sih”

“Ehh your cheeks are red?” salma taunted him when he saw Zahara's red cheeks

“No kok” said Zahara while holding both cheeks

“Dek” Said a man and spontaneously stopped their laughter

“This is his plate” while putting him on the ground

“Oh yes bg” say they are together and smile

“Abg saying yes first.. Zahara” said with a smile and managed to make Zahara surprised and looked at him until lost from his sight.

Seeing Zahara who was still speechless confused Salma immediately spoke in a slightly loud tone “Iya bg... see you at the mosque ya bg”

“Masjid?” Zahara looked at Salma with a question mark

“Iya, Mosque.. said Mamak-ku they stayed near the mosque starting last night” replied Salma.

“Kok you do not know that they will come here” asked Zahara back/

“I don't know if that comes them, I just know, there are those who come downstairs where they live, I'm the same you yesterday, it's lo… the one in front of Rumah” babble Salna at length

Zahara recalled and immediately nodded slowly as she remembered the two men last night.

“He’em the it” Salma said confirming Zahara's nod and was immediately greeted with laughter by Zahara.
