My soul mate
CHAPTER 22

Zea and I had a great conversation. Zea is so cheerful, telling various things about her sister Zio, her school, opa and oma, even about Arkan. There is pain when you hear the name Arkan mas called. Maybe I was hoping for something that couldn't be mine. Arkan preferred his first love over mine. It is sad that when I try to be a good wife, to love, to accept both the advantages and the disadvantages, I am left behind.

Kevin looks so cool talking to you. I worked in Surya's family for a long time. Even when Kevin was in High School, it was you who picked him up from school. While I was, it was still too small. That's why when Kevin's brother came, I didn't recognize him. All because of me and Arkan mas, so you stopped working in the family of Surya sir. Ah father, pity. I am unemployed because of me. Only mothers who work selling rice sitting in front of the house to connect their lives. The plan is that the father and mother will go home. They'll just farm in the village after I finish college.

The night is getting late. Kevin and Zea finally went home. My father and I drove them to the fence.

"Tante khansa, see you later. Assalamu'alaikum," Zea's voice waved as she sat in the car.

"Wa'alaikumussalam," I replied as I waved back as well.

Morning's approaching. It's time I fought. Fight with the carefree children. Teach them adab, morals and aqidah. Hopefully some of them will pull me to Jannah. Aamiins.

"Assalamu'alaikum ustadzah Khansa" said Ika.

"Wa'alaikumussalam ustadzah Ika," I replied with a smile.

"Kok now I see always ride the ojek online. Her husband never did it again" said Ustadzah Ika.

"No ustadzah. Faster ride ojek online. So it doesn't get stuck" I replied.

"Yes, ustadzah Khansa. Sorry for earlier. I noticed the Ustadzah was now very close to Nayla. Sometimes Khansa's ustadzah is also one car with Nayla's father. Not worried about being slandered. Moreover, the ustadzah is already married." The words of Ustadzah Ika made me speechless. I have to answer what. Do I have to be honest with my broken home. I wanted to cover up, but the more I covered the more questions from him.

"Thank you for your attention. I'm close to Nayla because she's my private student. Whereas if 1 car is just a coincidence if papa Nayla picks up. So all of you want to teach Nayla," I replied.

"Did the husband of the ustadzah not mind?" ask again.

"My husband and I have separated from ustadzah" I replied sadly.

"Astaghfirullah, has separated ustadzah. What's the problem Ustadzah? how to separate."

"Sorry, I can't tell you. Enough of our secret. Maybe my soul mate just got here" I replied.

I was busy with my work on campus. Thank God there is Azizah my best friend who can always rely on.

"Sa, come to my house yuk. Incidentally my mother was cooking well," pinta Azizah while typing a paper that we will present next week.

"In what order is Zah, cooking tumbens is good. Is there not a handsome man who wants to propose this friend of mine," I said with a laugh.

"Boro-boro Sa. I haven't thought about a soul mate yet. Still focused on work and college," replied Azizah.

"Oh, kirain. In what order is dong Zah?" ask again.

"Alhamdulillah, I am rising in office. Yesterday only ordinary staff were now appointed as division heads. I had no thanksgiving," replied Azizah.

"Alhamdulillah, tabarakallah," I said.

"Aamiin Sa, thank you" he said.

After doing our job, we immediately clean up the books and laptops. We both immediately left the library towards the campus gate.

"Sa, just let me order a taxi online" said Azizah.

"Ok," I replied.

Suddenly a luxurious car that was familiar to me stopped right in front of me. When the windshield opens, it looks like a little girl who is familiar to me.

"Hi Nayla, wait for a taxi" I replied

"Just come along, then let papa anter to the house," Nayla pinta told me.

"No need for Nay, our friend has ordered a taxi" I replied. Azizah suddenly approached while whispering.

"That's who Sa is," asked Azizah.

"My private disciple Zah" I replied slowly.

"Sa, we'd better go. From earlier his online taxi in cancel continued. Maybe because of rush hour times" Azizah whispered again.

"I don't feel good, Zah" I replied slowly.

"That's the oustadzah of the night," pinta Nayla took my hand. I had to go with Nayla. Azizah followed me from behind. Azizah and I sat in the back seat. While Nayla sat in front beside her father who was again driven. Every now and then I catch Papa Nayla's eye glare from the glass. I just looked embarrassed.

"Go to the house of the ustadzah?" ask Nayla

"No, to Azizah's house in the beautiful castle house," I replied rather nervously.

"Oh, there's an ustadzah event" asked Nayla again.

"Yes Nayla" I replied.

During the trip I was silent. There's a sense of discomfort when one car with papa Nayla. Moreover, he once gave me a rose and said he wanted to be my best friend. Azizah seemed to enjoy being in this luxury car.

In about 45 minutes we arrived at Azizah's house. Azizah and I got out of the car immediately.

"Thank you Nayla, thank you Rayhan sir" I said, followed by Azizah's speech.

"Together the ustadzah" answered Nayla. His father just smiled. Then the car passed. Azizah and I went in. There was Azizah's father and mother. Don't forget to say hello and kiss the back of their hands.

"Oh, the neighbors have come. Thank God they are happy with your promotion and pray for you to be better" said Ms. Azizah.

"Oh, thank goodness. Thank you buk," said Azizah while kissing her mother's cheek.

"What do you want to eat now" asked Azizah's mother.

"Later buk, Azizah wants to take a shower first. Come on Sa, come with me to the room." Azizah pulled my hand towards the room.

"Sa, take a bath first yuk," Azizah pinta told me.

"No, I'll be at home" I replied.

"Sa, Nayla's papa is cool, yes" Azizah said suddenly. I'm just smiling.

"But he seems to like you dech Sa" Azizah continued.

"Ah, I know you are Zah" I replied.

"Truly Dech Sa, from the way he looks at you differently" said Azizah again.

"Ah, you can Zah" I replied.

"I agree if you're the same Sa. It's handsome, rich, polite."

"That's Zah, don't talk about it. I just want to put my heart together first" I said. Azizah just smiled and went into the bathroom. I just sit by myself and occasionally look at my phone.
