My Darling
28

Madame Darwis has always been amazed by Zhafira, who is now part of her orphanage run by her adopted son who since infancy has been given more attention by Madame Darwis. At that time Mr. Darwis was still with him, so the man was immediately adopted into their son, considering that the man in his childhood loved the Dervish family very much, so legally, he was very fond of his family, the little boy who is now an adult automatically becomes the son of Mrs Darwis.

The man had the name Dennis, which Mr. Dervish gave him. If Zhafira gave the news of going to visit the orphanage, surely he would take the time to stay in the home and decide not to work. After all, there were two people who took care of his efforts.

Madame Darwis smiled since then when she saw the behavior of Dennis who never turned her face away from Zhafira, while Anggie just snorted and raised her eyebrows. Without needing to be asked again, it was very clear that this man belonged to the Zhafira fanboy lineup. However, Anggie felt sorry that this handsome man would be included in Zhafira's admirers who got no love in return. But basically, he likes it. Want to answer his love will be very grateful, if not, well that's it. Enough if his idol could interact with him alone, that was more than enough.

"Zha's."

"Include, this is Mrs Abrisham" said Madam Dervish, causing Zhafira to smile on her face before Madam Dervish invited Zhafira to sit on the guest sofa.

Seeing Amanda did not flinch from admiration, making the waiter who accompanied Amanda immediately give a touch and managed to make Amanda re-awakened.

"Greetings, Madam," said Zhafira repeating his introduction.

"Mommy."

"Anything with Mommy" Amanda said quickly, which made Zhafira somewhat gawking. So did everyone present there, listening to the sentence that made them surprised, because Amanda with her introverted character, suddenly became welcome, he said, of course it makes Mrs Darwis feel that Amanda looks like she always does.

"Mommy Manda" Amanda repeated. And Zhafira, although uncomfortable, for the sake of keeping the middle-aged woman's heart, inevitably followed Amanda's request.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Mommy Manda" said Zhafira with great respect. But it also made the smile on Dennis' handsome face disappear instantly, because implied the permanent donor of his mother's orphanage targeted Zhafira to become a son-in-law in his small family.

"Manda, meet Anggie and this is Zhafira. They are also regular donors at Mama's orphanage" said Mrs Darwis.

"And these two girls, must be your partners, too, huh?"

"You're a donor too" said Mrs Dervish, staring at Eva and Carolina in turn.

"Yes, but I can't donate to a parlor as big as Miss Anggie and Miss Zhafira, Madam," Eva said diplomatically.

"Oh. Doesn't matter. As long as it is sincere, it is more than enough. Because the payment will be paid by the owner of the universe," said Mrs Darwis.

While Carolina, who had just joined the company, just lowered her head. He has an economy that is not good enough and does not have advantages like other colleagues, so confused to answer what questions meaningful demand.

"This friend of mine already has his own place of alms, madam."

"Maybe on another occasion," said Zhafira as she gave a soft pat on the back of Carolina's palm.

The conversation continued, relaxed and pleasant. Zhafira and Anggie only briefly greet with Madam Dervis, because after that they directly interact with the residents of the orphanage. Amanda, who was originally going home, decided to enter again into the orphanage area which contained residents of various ages, and in essence, the orphanage, Amanda and Anggie and Zhafira communicate and interact with the residents of the parlour within the area. Eva and Carolina are busy and focused on their iPads, working online, paying attention to their hearing to get work done.

"What's wrong with you, Den?" mrs Darwis said without looking at the adult man beside her, and their eyes were both fixed on Amanda who was busy interacting with Zhafira with the children of the toddler-aged orphanage.

The sound of Zhafira's laughter drugged the eyes of this adult man, which made Madam Dervish shake her head alone.

"It turns out that way."

"Don't deepen the feeling of love."

"Or you will burn yourself in the heat of the fire of love."

"The pain is amazing, if love is not reciprocated," said Mrs Darwis who had patted Dennis on the back.

"Mama," said Dennis turning his gaze toward Madam Dervish.

"Begging Allah SWT."

"If she is your heart's chosen woman,"

"Which mother does not approve if the choice of her child's heart has chosen the best woman like that."

"Just, if not your soul mate, son,"

"Begging Allah SWT that your love will also be lifted."

"Because behind the great love is also a deep pain if he's not your soul mate, son."

"Mama doesn't like to see you hurt because love doesn't reciprocate" said Mrs Darwis, staring at her son's bead.

"Mama" said Dennis softly, and Madam Dervish pulled her child into his arms.

"If you could turn the world around, you would turn the world around for you."

"If Mama can make him love you, then Mama will do just that" said Mrs Darwis. Dennis was silent to hear it.

"But Mama doesn't have that ability, so your heart hurts every time you see you staring at her in silence like this" she continued.

"There's no need to do any of that, Mama. Just pray for your son to make my future missus. Right now I'm trying to make myself worthy of being with the lady" Dennis said with confidence.

Moreover, the effort that Dennis had pioneered from zero was getting better, and he began to realize the values that existed in him so that that was what he improved. Without him knowing, the effort he wrestled increasingly peaked and penetrated up. That's why Dennis is confident of being able to get along with Zhafira.

Once upon a time, Zhafira was met with Dennis in an event. Dennis asked a question, and Zhafira did not expect that the question was aimed at him. Zhafira's answer caused Dennis to grow stronger to anchor his feelings to her. Although he knew that Zhafira was not interested in a romantic relationship and emotions between men and women, Dennis believed himself capable of changing Zhafira's point of view if he became a good man. Therefore, Dennis always behaved and was kind so that someday Zhafira could see that the figure of a good man still existed in this world and not all men as he described.

Amanda, who was about to return home from the orphanage owned by Madam Dervis, postponed to interact with Zhafira. Mrs Darwis is a little sad because if her guess is right, then Dennis will be competing with the conglomerate family. However, a smile suddenly appeared on Madam Dervish's face as she recalled how the Lesham family chose a partner for their offspring's child. This family prefers couples who have a good religious background. So that Dennis will certainly be included in the criteria compared to the Abrisham family which some members of his family have bad religious habits and values, especially the children of Ibrahim who had been complained by Amanda.

Meanwhile, Amanda is still busy fighting for her heart's intentions, which are clearly visible in Anggie's very sensitive eyes.

"Don't we still have another unfinished schedule today, Zha?" said Anggie who managed to distract Zhafira.

"Yes, thank you for reminding me, Gie," Zhafira said, staring at the circular watch in her right hand.

This made Amanda very sad.

"When can we meet again?" say Amanda with a soft word.

"God, if God wills and our soul mate is destined, the meeting will happen, ma'am," said Zhafira to calm Amanda's heart.

"Didn't opportunity have to be created?" amanda said expectantly. However, Zhafira laughed widely and scratched the hijab that covered the crown of her head.

"Good step madam kept my best friend's contact number. He was the one who arranged my schedule every day, madam," said Zhafira, laughing, which spread to the Carolinas and made Amanda a little depressed.

Anggie tries to make small talk with Amanda, but her face looks cold and makes Amanda even more depressed. However, Zhafira was able to calm the mood and change the conversation by informing Anggie's mobile number to Amanda.

Zhafira and Anggie finished their schedule for the day, including stopping by an ice cream shop whose owners were still included in their squad. Unfortunately, the owner was not in place because he was abroad. They only spent the rest of the time before Zhafira fulfilled her duties at one of the hospitals.

It did not feel the time was getting late, meaning Zhafira had to leave for work immediately. They stopped briefly at one of the Anggie family-owned hotels and provided a special room for Anggie as the hotel owner. Zhafira needed a short rest because it was difficult to sleep last night, he also asked massage services as relaxation. During the massage, Zhafira fell asleep and Anggie coded the room not to be disturbed. Eva felt sorry for Zhafira, but the work deadline was less than two hours. Anggie gives Zhafira two options, she can go to work and be escorted, or sleep in a hotel with Anggie.

The dawn sound alarm woke Zhafira who was feeling very tired. He forgot that he was not in his bedroom and with his eyes still half closed, he immediately performed two rakaats of dawn. As the Prophet Shallahu Alaihi Wasalam recommended, this sunnah prayer is better than the world and its content. When he finished, he realized that the night had to work and immediately woke Anggie up to order food.

Zhafira goes to breakfast at the hotel's buffet restaurant, while Anggie orders room service as he is still lazy to get up. After breakfast, Zhafira got ready for work.
