Tiba Khitbah
Honest

'Fuck! Is it in every joy and sorrow? Not abandoned no matter what? To hell with all those false promises.'

Now Zahra thinks that Alex is the same as other men who have been close to him, Alex a crocodile who is more ferocious for attacking him when he has pinned hope on the man.

"Abi, it looks like Ustadz Fahri and his family should be told that Zahra is sick."

It is clear that Ummi Fatimah is very eager for his son-in-law to come to see the princess. Indeed, Fatimah's ummi attitude made Zahra feel like yelling as loud as she could and saying that she did not like the man and she did not want the man to come see her, but the heart is still trying to be patient and refrain from doing things more wildly than before.

Slowly Zahra rubbed her chest with her right hand, saying to herself, Patience, Zahra, be patient! If there is no one in this world to side with you, you should not be afraid and sad because there is a God who will help you. You just need to fight and fight through the path of the sky so that there is no need to hurt and hurt anyone, said Zahra satin while calming herself.

"Call, Ummi, inform Nak Fahri and his family about Zahra's situation."

"All right, Abi."

"Eh yes, Ummi, do we need to send Nak Fahri home so that Zahra is excited and can recover soon, Mi?" abi Abdullah's idea, of course, will be approved by Ummi Fatimah but not by Zahra.

"Don't call him and don't send him to our house!"

Yes, finally the tissue-thin patience of Zahra was emitting a commotion flame, Zahra snapped in a high tone of voice.

It was like hearing the names Fahri and Fahri or whatever it was called, making Zahra's blood boil with heightened emotions. He was angry with a reddened face, eyes widened with ears that he closed with both hands.

Even this explosive emotion made Abi immediately stop his car, as if he did not believe the attitude and behavior of his son at this time.

"Ara, why? Is there a problem? Is your relationship with Nak Fahri not okay?"

Various kinds of consecutive questions addressed abi to Zahra, but for now the princess looks still unable to answer anything.

"Abi, understand the young people there must be fights, like Abi never young," said ummi Fatimah explained to abi, whether it was to calm abi so that abi was not suspicious or maybe the ummi desire to bring his favorite daughter-in-law to their home succeeded.

Umm Fatimah took the phone in her bag, dialed the number of her favorite daughter-in-law with enthusiasm.

The polite and very gentle greeting that ummi Fatimah said has proven that ummi really likes her prospective daughter-in-law, a very different attitude when the name Alex is called, ummi's face will turn sour with emotions that look very peaked.

Zahra understands, every parent would want a daughter-in-law who is good in her religious knowledge and good in her understanding because the parents will leave the responsibility that has been on her shoulders to the man who will be her son-in-law later, because marriage not only unites two hearts but also two families, so it is appropriate for parents to be selective in choosing prospective daughters-in-law for their children. Yes, the choice of Ummi Fatimah is not wrong, ustadz Fahri is a graduate of Al-Azhar, Egypt and from the family of a Kyai who has a prominent boarding school in the village of Zahra.

The face of ustadz Fahri can also be said to be middle to upper and for the size of an ustadz like himself must be a lot of Muslim girls who want to marry him, even parents will certainly wave their daughters to be future wives of ustadz Fahri. But not with Zahra, for some reason he does not have the slightest interest in ustadz Fahri, there is no vibration in the heart that says that is the soul mate that Zahra had longed for.

Yes, Zahra knows very well and knows very well that as a daughter she should not reject the man who comes to her let alone the man is good in his religious knowledge, because there will be damage on your face, because there will be damage on your face, but the heart also cannot force something while the mind continues to resist. Indeed, the blessing of parents is the most important in a relationship let alone that relationship is the longest and longest worship that he will live, he said, but how can a marriage be a reward if one party does not sincerely run it.

"Mi, what's Nak Fahri saying?" ask abi Abdullah who is also no less enthusiastic when his prospective daughter-in-law will come to visit the princess home. Yes, it seems that only Zahra was unhappy when the man's name was called.

"Nak Fahri was out of town, Bi, he said there was an invitation to a lecture, so tomorrow he just returned to the boarding school, Bi," explained ummi Fatimah with a little disappointment clearly drawn on her face. The same face with the face of Abi who also looks disappointed. Yes, of course, in contrast to Zahra, the infinite gratitude of course could not stop speaking from his heart because the sky was supporting him. At least, even if only a day, Zahra can be relieved and rest in peace without having to be overshadowed by the arrival of the man.

"Zahra, we've reached home, son," abi Abdullah said as he parked the car in their garage.

Heavy, for some reason Zahra felt alien to the old man's house that he had occupied for more than twenty-five years.

The house that used to be the most comfortable place and resting place that he always longed for immediately turned into a place that he did not want to go. Zahra did not want to go down and did not want to go into it.

"Suster, please help!" ummi Fatimah said without looking at her daughter in the slightest, as if the anger and disappointment she felt made her reluctant to look at the child, her own biological daughter.

"Let Abi push the wheelchair, Mi. Ummi and Sister wait in Zahra's room" said softly.

"Ah, it's up to Abi!"

Umm Fatimah walked into their home, leaving Zahra and Abi Abdullah with a pile of items that the sisters happened to help bring her.

Abi Abdullah looks strange with the attitude of ummi Fatimah, but it seems that this time he tried to ignore it because abi is not a person who is easily provoked by emotions and anger for a moment which is indeed a satanic trick.

'Do I have to be honest with Abi before it's too late?' zahra said in his heart.
