At nine in the morning, Zahra was invited by Rahma's mother to surround the Darussalam Pesantren and see the contents of the room that Zahra would later have to know. Even so, Zahra already knew the ins and outs of her place, but that was when she was a child and now she had slightly forgotten her place.
Suddenly, Rahma's mother brought Zahra to the students and introduced Zahra. It was also to the santriwati because there is separated between men and women. Therefore, Zahra will only teach santriwati, while his male santri will be taught by Ilham.
Thus, Inspiration will often communicate with Zahra despite trying to reject it. But that can't be. Zahra longed to avoid her, but she could not because she was connected to a message from her uncle.
"Assalamualaikum, morning everyone. I want to introduce my niece," said Rahma's mother while introducing Zahra to the santriwati.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, ma'am." The santri there answered the greetings from Rahma's mother.
Seen from them, there are whispering to each other judging Zahra. And there were also those who admired that beautiful woman.
"Sweet sister, if you know what her name is?" ask one of the cheerful santriwati.
"Eh, yes. Brother's name, Zahra Nur Azizah. You may call him by the name of Zahra only" Zahra replied with a smile to everyone who was there.
"So, the name of Beautiful Brother, Brother Zahra well. Pretty like the person," chirped Dina—one of the santriwati who is famous for her smallness.
Zahra smiled at the girl's words. "Thank you, thank you" said Zahra accompanied by a sweet smile.
"Well, Brother Zahra will help you teach. Similarly, Ibu—Alisha's daughter, she will also teach here. So, you should be able to respect him like a teacher even though he is still young, maybe also the same age. Even so, Brother Zahra will try to teach you very well," said Rahma and the santriwati just nodded their heads.
"Well, now Zahra, you can get to know them first. I'll stay for a while" Rahma's mother told Zahra.
"Yes, Bi," replied Zahra who immediately approached the santriwati and tried to get used to them.
"Sister Zahra," called Dina who looked so interested in Zahra's graceful personality.
"Yes, what's wrong?" reply Zahra kindly.
"Where do you live? How did I just see Brother Zahra here," asked Dina curiously.
Zahra smile. "Brother lives in Bandung, what if you were?" ask Zahra.
"I'm Dina, Brother. I think we're the same age," replied Dina while thinking about Zahra's age.
"It looks like it is." Zahra smiled because Dina was cheerful so she made herself comfortable near Dina.
"Is Brother Zahra married?" ask Dina back.
"No, yet" Zahra replied with a gentle smile.
"Oh, kirain I'm married. Sorry, dad. Then Kak Zahra is beautiful, eat it I think Zahra has married because she wants to teach here," said Dina with the same face. Always cheerful and curious.
"You're beautiful too, Dina. Cute again," said Zahra who looks so anxious with Dina's behavior.
Even so, Dina was already her age, but her nature was still the same as that of an adorable teenager.
"Sister Zahra could have been, I'm so ashamed," said Dina who covered her face with both hands.
Zahra was made to smile again, even laughing after seeing Dina's behavior.
"Yes, I already know. She was adorable, "Zahra replied as she looked at Dina.
"Dina, don't do that. Shame to know our beautiful Ustazah" said Nadiya who began to approach her friend.
"Eh, yes. Sorry Ustazah Zahra," said Dina while grinning.
"No papa, anyways you can be entertaining too. Surely the friends here also like you," said Zahra and Dina nodded confidently.
With Dina's behavior, Zahra already knew a little santriwati there, passing from Dina's very funny intermediary.
Not long after that, Alisha also joined Zahra because she had just delivered her husband to the main hall where the place was so spacious. And there Ilham will teach men santri. However, because Alisha was a woman, she only drove her to the front of the hall only, and Ilham continued his own path.
"Assalamualaikum, what's this rame-rame?" asked Alisha who was suddenly behind Zahra.
"Eh, Ustazah Alisha. This is a beautiful sister," said Dina ahead of Zahra.
"Who? Zahra meaning?" Alisha was confused.
"Yes, Ustazah Alisha. She was beautiful, friendly, kind, and not arrogant" said Dina who always talked a lot.
Then with that, Alisha smiled looking at her cousin's face.
"Alisha don't get caught well, Dina's just kidding," Zahra's slightly embarrassed reply.
"Not papa. After all, what Dina said was true. You are beautiful, Zahra." Alisha even confirmed the speech from Dina earlier.
"Alhamdulillah, all women are also beautiful," Zahra replied with a slight laugh.
That way, everyone who was there laughed. Likewise with Alisha, he also talked together while getting to know each other.
Zahra is very friendly, so she can easily be close to anyone. So, there is nothing to worry about anymore. And a moment later, Zahra began teaching santriwati there. Even so, he is still young. However, the knowledge can be developed and given to santriwati.
However, among the santriwati. Dina is the one who always asks and is not ashamed of Zahra, another case with Nadiya who is just silent, but easily understood so as not to make it difficult for anyone.
Not long since the arrival of Zahra to the house of Alisha, the news has spread from among the santri, not even infrequently men who want to know Zahra. However, Zahra never responded and only focused on teaching.
For this reason, Ilham also often heard the talk of his students who often talk about Zahra. That way, Inspiration feels a little dislike. After all, Zahra is her failed love that leads her into a very confusing relationship.
Therefore, Inspiration can only take it for granted. And he also had no right to forbid Zahra to be close to anyone because Inspiration is nothing. However, unknowingly by him, Zahra had already harbored a taste for him.
Therefore, Zahra has not been able to open her heart to anyone because in her heart is still enthroned neatly the name of the man she loved so much. However, now all of that was gone and there was nothing more to expect.
