Istiqomah Love
Unexpected

Flashbacks

Three days ago, though,

Zahra who was not feeling well was disturbed by the sound of a door blow on the door of her living room. Zahra rushed out of her bed despite the headache.

But his father had already opened the door. And there was a man who suddenly looked toward Zahra.

"It turns out you have a daughter, beautiful anyway." Said the man.

"Zahrah! Why are you out." There was regret visible on his father's face, Why did Zahra suddenly appear when such conditions.

"What's going on?" Zahra looked confused.

There were three men who seemed to be seeing his father. And they look like loan sharks.

"Hi beautiful. It seems like a good guarantee for all of this."Said a man with a well-built body and dark glasses. He looked at Zahra from toe to head.

"meaning?" Ask Zahra's father.

"All right I'll explain, if in a week you can't pay for it. Your daughter is a guarantee to our boss. Coincidentally boss we're looking for a beautiful wife like this."Obviously, then he took two of his men away.

"I'm sorry, Father Ra."His father lowered his head.

"I don't know anymore, what to do. If you have to be forced as a guarantee. Forgive me, Father."

The next day, even her father blatantly said that his only path was for Zahra to be the wife of a Mr. Rio. A Director of a Finance Company. Where his father was in debt.

Only Istighfar could Zahra do. He did not want to think any further. Zahra complies with all circumstances. In Zahra's prayer on every bow.

"Oh Allah, if I have a feeling of love. Immerse my heart in the people who love YOU."

Flashback end

Husein was silent for a moment. Husein has never told Zahra how she feels. He was still afraid, Zahra would reject him. Zahra's judgment on a man is not a treasure and a throne, but a religion. While what power Husein living in the family is, but minus religion. Even embarrassed to feel Husein if Zahra finds out, that the majority of his family is only Islamic ID cards.

But in his little heart he spoke. Instead of Him receiving an arranged marriage with the daughter of his mother's best friend, which clearly Husein did not know what her nature, character and behavior were like. Isn't this the right time for her to express her wishes to Zahra. He wanted Zahra to be a part of his life. To be a faithful companion who accompanies him, to be the mother of his children. Yes, isn't this a good time? Thought Husein. He was still looking at Zahra who was now staring at the green grass in front of them.

Husein let out a long sigh, before finally venturing out to express his wish.

"How about I get you. Are you going to accept it?" Husein's spontaneous question made Zahra widen her eyes in surprise.

Zahra was very unlikely, Husein would say that. Usually every problem is either Husein or Zahra. They will just calm each other down and find the best solution to the problem.

"I don't know" Sahut Zahra lowered his head. It feels like Zahra really doesn't know which is best for Zahra right now. His mind is raging with his father's problems. He who is usually strong becomes fragile.

" In a week's time, give me reassurance."Hussein. Before it was too late.

Zahra turned to Husein.

"You sure? Wanna stalk me? I'm so inappropriate for you. Your family might find it hard to accept me." Zahra said, remembering all this time he only lived with his father. His mother died when he was fifteen years old. But there Zahra has been equipped with religious knowledge, of course, educated from his mother. And made her a strong and independent woman to this day. Sometimes he is fragile. Because He is also only human.

"I'm sure. I can face it. And the key is in you." Hussein. He looks really resigned. Husein realized he was still far from the criteria of Zahra.

But Zahra also thought, He is far from the criteria of Husein and his family.

For a Week Zahra tried istiharah. He did not want to go wrong in his life. There will always be obstacles. But at least it makes itself closer to Allah SWT.
