The Pledge of Love The Hafizh Qur'An
the return of A' Faqih's parents.

While in other places Zahra and her mother had just arrived, the two were about to process food together before. But due to his meeting with Faqih and Noah, Zahra's feelings changed.

"Stek why?" Tanya Ummi Siti, who was confused by Zahra's gloomy attitude.

"It's okay Ummi, emmm Zahra wants to go in first. Zahra's head is a little dizzy. Deck you help Ummi ya." Zahra said to her younger sister Hanifa.

"Ready tea" replied Hani. Zahra smiled and walked in. While Ummi Siti was shaking her head, she seemed to know that her daughter was still a little not received the news of Faqih's marriage with the youngest daughter of Ustadz Irsyad. Truly complicated love, so is the woman who can only wait without being able to express.

Why Umm Siti could tell that Zahra admired Faqih, all because Zahra was fond of making food and sent it to the Hasna Tea house. It is also what makes it close to Hasna Tea.

He had reminded Zahra that his actions were very bad, especially a Muslim woman. Almost every weekend approached Faqih's house just to give up his homemade cooking.

But indeed Hasna tea is happy if Zahra comes he can not do anything else, especially when the tea Hasna itself is the one who invited him to come.

–––––

In that room.

Zahra sat on a long chair by the window of her room. Bend a little of both of her legs and embrace her. His gaze was also fixed on the branches of trees that swayed due to the wind.

"O Allah, give me the sincerity of my heart to release him in my mind. He's married now." Zahra wiped her tears. It felt so sad, how not Faqih who he hoped could become his priest instead chose another woman.

'Umma, it's not good to say the prospective daughter-in-law to a woman who is not necessarily going to be your daughter-in-law. Zahra was nothing more than a little sister in my view.' Faqih's words she had overheard two years ago made her realize that Faqih did not have any feelings for her.

Despite trying hard, he sought Faqih's attention. Let alone to reciprocate his feelings, whenever Zahra was invited by his mother Faqih also preferred to leave.

As in Ramadhan last year, he was invited alone to break his fast at Faqih's house by Umm Hasna.

But instead of being able to open one table with Faqih, the man decided not to go home and break it in Tafiz's house alone.

Faqih's evasive attitude towards him is very visible, but Zahra's persistence as if never daunted to still get love from Faqih.

Until news of the man marrying Nuha, as if making him experience the ultimate defeat.

How not, the struggle so far is very futile, because instead of approaching, the man is actually getting farther.

Even he seemed to blatantly break his hope without pity by marrying a girl who was very close to his family.

"Hiks... Why does it hurt so much when I love your creation, O God." Zahra grew sobbing in the room all by herself.

Now that hope was dashed along with the pledge that was said for Noah. And left a little despair, begging the owner of the heart.may God give a better replacement than Faqih.

***

Adzan ashar has been reverberating since, the two halal couples have just completed congregational prayers in the prayer room.

The sound of a mini bus outside is heard. Yes, Umma and Abi to Sukabumi use travel services, because their cars were used by Faqih at that time.

Faqih looked over a little while raising his head.

"It looks like Abi and Umma are home." He said, "get out yuk."

Noah smiled and nodded. After getting a kiss on the forehead the two fix their prayer tool, then move.

And it is true that outside of Abi Rahmat and Umm Hasna has returned. Hugged his parents one by one by Faqih. Nuha grabbed Abi Rahmat's hand by the back of her hand.

"MashaAllah Abi's daughter." Abi Rahmat rubbed the head of the son-in-law. Noah smiled, and his gaze fell on the mother-in-law who was smiling faintly at Noah.

"Umma, how are you?" Noah took Umma Hasna's hand.

"Alhamdulillah." He hugged Noah later.

"Alhamdulillah you have arrived. Just rest Bi, Umma." Faqih.

"Yes, Umma is tired." He went straight inside after saying his greetings.

"What is this scent? Abi's daughter cooks?" Abi Rahmat asked, Faqih smiled.

"Yes, but the same A'a is also Bi." Answer Noah plainly

"Ohhh... Haha. MashaAllah, can't wait for this break. Yes, we're in." Bring Abi Rahmat refined. He went in first after Noah and Faqih had shifted.

"Huuufff..." Noah breathed a long breath.

"Why Neng?" Ask Faqih.

"Their?"

"Yes it's different... My husband's parents." Grabbing A' Faqih's hand while shaking it and then smiling broadly. Faqih chuckled.

"That is all you are."

"Hehe, may Abi same Umma like our cooking yes."

"Amiinu. Must have liked it. Come in yuk, we rest first while waiting to open."

"Yes A..." Noah smiled, Faqih closed the door and took Noah to his room.

––––

Until the time of opening arrives...

The family was eating Faqih and Nuha.

In that silence, Nuha actually became tense, especially when observing her mother-in-law who had no voice.

Even now he looks like he is less appetizing to eat the food, but he chose to stay silent.

Unlike the A' Faqih who looks greedy eating it. So that makes Noah happy.

After eating, Umma Hasna opened her voice. While eating the emping he took from inside the jar.

"Mrs...?" Call Umma.

"Yes Umma?"

"Would you use bottled coconut milk?" Ask Umma.

"He's right Umma."

"Less as deep as neng, use grated coconut only next time. Is it still rich?" Umma Hasna glanced at Abi Rahmat who was shaking her head.

"What's Umma rich? Then try to fix Noah, sorry Umma." Ask Noah.

"it's okay neng... This is all good." Abi Rahmat replied before being answered again by his wife.

Umma Hasna was silent, she then moved and grabbed the dirty dishes.

"Let's just Noah Umma." Noah also moved.

"Remove that heula eat you. This is just Umma." He answered while walking to the sink.

Faqih grabbed Noah by the hand and smiled and told his wife to sit down again.

And when the meal was finished, Abi Rahmat went.

"Thank God, enjoy the food today. Tomorrow Masakin Abi again." Praise Abi Rahmat. Noah smiled too.

"Tomorrow Umma who cooked Bi, Umma is already at home. The Nuha section is also tomorrow to Tafiz's house, right?"

Nuha Beru remembered that tomorrow he had started teaching again he suddenly felt happy because he could meet his students.

"Umma, finish washing the dishes Abi wants to ask in pijitin. Come with Abi." Take ustadz Rahmat who goes first.

"Yeahhh.... It'll get his rich talk." Grunts Umma Hasna very soft, who had read from the expression of her husband's face, she walked in. "Please neng... Umma come in first."

"Yes Umma." The girl smiled cheerfully. He just had not noticed Umma Hasna's slightly dislike towards him. And consider it commonplace, because it is Umma Hasna who he knows like that.

Faqih gently stroked Noah's hair. "My mom is so sorry for her daughter-in-law, yes, to correct your cooking."

"Hehehe, yes A' so happy." Noah replied with a cheerful expression.

'mashaAllah it seems my wife does not feel how-how Alhamdulillah then lah.' Inner Faqih felt relieved, even though she was worried that Noah would be offended earlier.

Until they continue the work of cleaning the dining table together.

Seriate....
