My student's my future husband?
(S2) Ep 116. Hope

Seeing you from afar with an engraved smile can make me happy. You know, I miss you so much. But our time away gives me hope to start over like when I was chasing you.

I'll reopen the store. I'll work with Daddy. I realized when I decided to turn down Daddy's offer, there I was very selfish. I feel strong when I am nothing.

I will also be active again at LDK. It's a commitment to improving myself. So you do not protest if you will often see me in the mosque. My relationship with God must be restored, that God may repair my relationship with you.

Please wait for me, keep loving me…

I love you, Zaara

Arsene

Arsene wrote it all with all the feeling in his heart. Today he saw Zaara coming out of the library with her close friends. The girl smiled. I don't know what made him smile. Arsene who saw him from afar was relieved. May Zaara's heart be better. It's been a week since the incident, Zaara seems to have been fit again. Likewise with Arsene who has entered college as usual, after he had to rest full for a week because of symptoms of typhoid.

That afternoon Arsene was in his frame, deliberately he chose to sleep there. He will be making a new concept from his cake shop this time. With the help of his father again, he hopes his shop will be more advanced this time. The design concept of the store this time more carries a rustic modern theme, playing a blend of bricks, green plants and beautiful flowers, and,  as well as wooden furniture also mix it with classic white paint as a background and do not forget the clear wide glass furniture.

He himself had quit his job as a pastry chef right when he was given a promotion to become a chef at a higher level. But he refused because he already had a mature business concept, after all he could not force his vulnerable physical self.

Over the next week, Arsene, who lives with her parents again, had many discussions with her father to rebuild her once-dain shop. There are several divisions that will take care of the store later, such as the production division that is the kitchen, marketing division that takes care of all things related to marketing and publication, etc, also the consumer service division that will take care of matters related to customers and services. Unable to stand on his own two feet, he needed a solid team and strong funding for his business, which is now part of his family's company.

Now he is really optimistic, his shop will now be successful. He will not abandon her.

Zaara was in the mosque hall that afternoon after the dzuhur prayer with her two friends. The school hours will have to wait another two hours. Zaara looks silent. The girl was often silent after her miscarriage. It was just that Terry and Hana were always beside him to cheer up so that his smile rose.

“Eat yuk, hungry!” terry stroked his stomach.

“I'm here, Ry!” zaara said with a small smile.

“Yeah, why?”

“Don't know, it feels really cool to sit here. The luggage is quiet and comfortable,” Zaara explained.

“You're still sad, Ra?” ask Hana to know. Zaara rarely expresses her feelings for her best friend.

Especially seeing Zaara who is rarely with Arsene, always makes the two friends wonder. But there was never any explanation coming out of Zaara's mouth. Hana wanted to provoke the feeling of the girl who was now wearing the light purple hijab. Hana hopes Zaara can get her teeth out.

“Why?” Zaara.

“How do you feel now?” ask Hana again to vent her courage.

Zaara stunned.

“I'm good, Na!” answer's short.

“Sorry I'm presumptuous, but what is your relationship with Arsene? We are your friends, Ra! Don't hide anything from us including your feelings. As if the burden on your shoulders can be shared with us after losing your child,” said Hana.

“I... I broke the same Arsene!” her reply left Hana and Terry wide-eyed, shocked.

“What do you mean, Ra?” ask Terry.

“I don't want to see him again, as easy as for one month.” Zaara.

“You made that deal?!” ask Hana.

Zaara nodded. “That's my request same him!”

“Subhanallah, Zaara! Do you hate Arsene?” ask Terry.

“Neighbor Ry. I just need time to make peace with him.”

Hana and Terry looked at each other. Are Zaara and Arsene's problems that complex? They can't guess it. They can only embrace the body of friends, giving strength and enthusiasm to still be able to face their days.

“Assalamu’alaikum.” someone said from the corner of Ikhwan.

“Wa’alaikumsalam,” answered them simultaneously turning.

Zaara's heart trembled to find her husband standing there carrying a sizable box. Arsene smiled slightly, his eyes looking shady.

“Sorry just want to give this,” he said while putting the box on the floor.

“Who is Sen?” ask Terry.

“Make all of you,” he replied with a small smile.

“Syukron!” answer Hana.

“Come yes?!” her door.

Arsene nodded and said goodbye from there. His eyes were fixed on the girl sitting in the middle. Zaara returned the gaze with a trembling heart. For some reason seeing her husband's calm face, she felt homesick.

Terry immediately took the pink box, then opened the contents. There are several muffins in it with various variants. There is also a brochure sheet there with the title Re-Opening Sweet Recipes this weekend. Zaara found out that her husband was planning to open his shop again. Has he quit his job at the restaurant? Suddenly Zaara felt petty and selfish for asking not to meet her. Arsene is also sad.

“Wah... steady nih!” terry said to look at the delicious-looking cake.

“Bany very much! We share with yuk!” said Hana.

“Where's Ra?” terry asked, because he believed Arsene gave the cake to Zaara.

“Iya can!” zaara smiled.

“You take it first!” terry pushed the box.

Zaara's eyes became teary. How she misses her sweet husband as sweet as his cakes, his treatment that can make her heart fly like a butterfly, even though she always works hard to support her small family. Tears flowed over her round cheeks.

“Ra, are you all right?” terry looked at his crying friend.

“I miss Arsene, Ry!” lirih.

“Then meet him, Ra!” hana Timpal.

“I... I'm not sure yet!” his sobs, trying to wipe his tears.

“Why?”

“Because when I saw him deket, my sense of loss for my son kept showing up. I'm not strong yet!” Zaara drowned her face on her knees.

Hana and Terry hugged her together.

“Ra, sincerely your child, sorry Arsene, this way you can skip all!” hana said strengthen.

“I'll try but I need time!” the answer.

“We always pray for the best for you, Ra! You must be strong!”

“Still!” zaara said vibrating.

Zaara went home to her parents that afternoon after her sister picked her up. The girl walked straight to her room. A small box of cookies containing two blueberry cupcakes was placed on his study table. It was the gift of Arsene that afternoon, who intercepted him before he returned home.

She just smiled back at the gift of her husband.

Now he sat in a chair looking at the beautiful box in front of him. A little paper was tucked in there. Zaara smiled, she always liked the way Arsene surprised her.

“You are my dream, my present, and my future. And always have been..”

(You are my dream, the present, and my future. And it always will be.).

The words of the quote were written there, making himself smile again. All of a sudden, the girl wanted to open her notebook where she had all the memories of herself, her feelings, and how Arsene could always make her blush.

The quote paper given by Arsene since the days of High School is still stored well. He stuck it in his notebook. One by one, he read it from the beginning. Those words always gave him motivation, making him change slowly. He realized Arsene was so special in his life even from the first time he knew her. The negligence of the man makes him disappointed.

Zaara switched to her laptop, she opened an email with Arsene, where they wrote down all her miss notes during her time in Sydney. He was so surprised that many new emails came in. Everything from Arsene. There are 14 incoming emails that have not been read. That means Arsene always wrote down his miss notes during their split. He didn't expect that. Also, they have never been in contact with each other. Communication is completely broken. That's what the girl really regretted.

Arsene probably thought Zaara didn't want to communicate at all. Zaara waited for him, but he always drowned in his sadness for days, locked himself in a room, and contemplated everything. He only asked that his heart be healed quickly from all the disappointments that plagued him and tried to look forward to the days with a brighter light.

The girl opened her emails one by one.

Zaara read her husband's letter with tears streaming down her cheeks. There are many words of forgiveness, love, and hope. Almost every letter of Arsene contains that. He also found Arsene's stories so far. The man has quit his job and will now open his shop again as he intended.

An email just came back in.

I don't know if you still like the cakes I love or don't. But all the cakes I love are my own. I hope you still like it. Because you've always been the inspiration and secret recipe in all my pastries.

Tomorrow Saturday, the Sweet Recipes store will open again. I will make up for the failure then now. I hope you can pray for my success. Honestly, I was hesitant at first, worried that the same failure would repeat itself. But Daddy kept pushing, so I thought I could try it again this time. Besides I can not work tired, the doctor continues to advise me to work that can make me rest for a moment. That's why I'm getting stronger to build Sweet Recipes.

I hope we can start a new life again too, dear Zaara. Trying from the beginning, forgiving what happened even though I know it's too hard because we lost our son. Know you? I tried to hold back all the weight of longing that was on my shoulders. I always look for your whereabouts, only to see your smiling face or not. Don't stop me from being a spy!

If you read these letters, please reply to them. Tell me how you feel now, so that the burden of this longing can be reduced, despite the fact that I will still find it difficult to live without you.

Please forgive me, just wait and love me!

Arsene

Zaara smiled with her unbroken stream of tears. He missed the man so much in his heart, even though his wounds had not healed. But he will still open his heart to the man who always steals his heart. The girl fell silent, was the time right?

Zaara immediately typed something in there, spitting out everything that had been her burden all along.

Sorry I just opened the email. I was really surprised that you send emails every day. I'm sorry I didn't communicate with you at all. I know this is wrong. From now on you can call me, I will open my heart. Sorry me.

My feelings are much better now, though I don't know what happens when you're in front of me. I guess I still need time. Can you be patient any minute?

I miss you, too, very bad.

But give me a little more time.

I hope you understand

I always love you

Zaara
