Cinta Ilham & Zahra
MCIDZS. 15Some One Wants to Say

One month later Zahra was seen teaching her students and before long, the sound of her cell phone rang out from inside her bag. Zahra picked up the phone immediately.

"Assalamualaikum, Ummi." Zahra immediately greeted his umminya first.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Zahra?" ummi Hanum said there.

"Yes, what is Ummi?"

"Can you go home today, Ra?"

Zahra frowned in surprise. "What's wrong with Ummi? Abi and Ummi are fine, right?" zahra asked worriedly for fear of anything happening to her parents.

"Alhamdulillah, Ummi and Abimu are fine. We just want to meet you, son," replied Ummi Hanum in a tone of voice that sounded so soft.

"Oh, that. Kirain Zahra there's nothing." Zahra calmed down and said, "Maybe Ummi, but later Zahra will ask Auntie for permission."

"Alright, Ummi wait at home. Call Ummi again well, if Zahra wants to go home."

"Yes, Ummi. God willing," replied Zahra.

Soon after, Zahra hung up her phone and went back to teaching there. Nevertheless, Zahra was already very strong in facing everything. However, he often meets the man he loves who is now the husband of his own cousin.

However, Zahra never intended to disturb him even once because she also knew that interfering in the household of the man was not good. Alisha was very close to him. So, it was impossible for her to still love her cousin's husband.

Therefore, Zahra tried to stay away from Inspiration because her eyes were still the same and had not changed until now, with as much as possible she avoided it.

After she finished teaching, Zahra went to her aunt for permission. However, in the middle of the road he met with Ilham and the man was just downcast, while Zahra was just silent in his place.

Knowing that, Inspiration realized and immediately went ahead of Zahra because there was no need for slander.

Rahma was seen tidying up the clothes in her room. Zahra went to see her aunt.

"Zahra," said Rahma's mother who immediately knew his arrival.

"Yes, Bi. Zahra came here just to say something" Zahra replied as she sat next to Rahma's mother.

"Say, Aunt will listen to him" said Rahma's mother who stopped her clothes.

"Bi, Zahra wants to ask Auntie's permission. Ummi called Zahra, he asked Zahra to come home." Zahra began to say her meaning to Rahma's mother.

"Go home, Auntie it's okay. Ummi and Abimu must have missed you" said Rahma's mother with a smile.

"Is that true, Bi?" zahra Soraya asked to confirm his aunt's words.

Rahma's mother nodded her head and Zahra smiled happily at her. She hugged her aunt with a very happy feeling.

"Thank you, Bi," said Zahra and Rahma's mother, smiling as she received Zahra's hand.

An hour later, Zahra was ready in Muslim clothes, apparently walking through the living room where there was a married couple sitting on the sofa in front of the television.

"Zahra, where are you going?" alisha asked because she saw Zahra coming out of her room, wearing neat clothes and carrying a sling bag in her hand.

Then Zahra turned to look Alisha was. "I want to go home first to Bandung, Ummi and Abi asked me to come home today" Zahra replied with a deep smile.

"Oh, that. Who do you go home with?" ask Alisha.

"On your own," Zahra replied calmly.

"Convinced yourself?"

"Yes, God willing. There will be nothing" said Zahra confidently.

"No need to bother, Sha. I'm alone" Zahra said with a smile.

"Zahra, let Inspiration come between you," said Rahma's mother who was suddenly behind her.

Inspiration seemed to round his eyes, disbelief and surprise. Moreover, Alisha—his wife listens to the decline of her in-laws. Therefore, she was afraid that Alisha would be angry and jealous, for driving Zahra to her house.

"Eh, Bi. No need, Bi." Zahra looks bad to Alisha.

"Zahra, no papa. Let Mas Ilham take you. Isn't that right, Mas?" Alisha looked at her husband's face which was silent.

"But, dear ...." Ilham did not continue his words because he had been convinced by his wife.

"I'm not papa. Go," said Alisha with a smile, as if to convince her that his wife was okay.

"Well, you wait here for me." Ilham kissed Alisha's forehead lovingly.

Looking at all that, Zahra's heart ached so much. However, he often saw that sight every day. However, Zahra held her back so that people would not know her very fragile heart.

"Zahra, come on," Invited Ilham and walked out of the house followed by Zahra behind him.

Alisha smiled at the sight, though her heart was a little afraid that her husband would come back to love Zahra. However, seeing from the attitude of Inspiration who loved her so much, she threw away the bad thoughts because she was sure that her husband would keep his words.

In the car, the silence felt because Zahra did not say much, as well as Ilham who did not say anything. Until they arrived at Zahra's house and Ilham said, "If there is no hope, just follow your heart."

Zahra looked at Ilham and replied with her words. "Someone can say, but not everyone can feel his feelings."

Ilham was stunned by Zahra's reply, and the woman simply smiled and opened the door.

"Thank you, Ustaz. Go in first," Zahra and Ilham bargained.

"No need, there is already someone waiting for my return," said Ilham who without knowing. His words hurt the heart of a girl who had long since slipped her name in every prayer.

"Alright, don't ever hurt her heart because it hurts so much." Zahra closed the car door and walked into her home.

Inspiration was still silent in his car, everything Zahra said did not escape the reality he faced. For some reason, the words that came out of Zahra's mouth always struck him even though they were not revealed by direct words. Not long after that, Ilham's car drove away from Zahra's house.

Another case with Zahra, he was seen entering his house and his parents were already in the living room chair.

"Assalamualaikum, Ummi, Abi." Zahra kissed the backs of her parents' hands.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Zahra, who are you here with?" ummi Hanum asked with longing radiating from her face.

"With Ustaz Ilham, Mi. However, he had already gone home first" replied Zahra and sat down next to his umminya.

"Oh, how are you doing now, son?" ask Umm Hanum.

"Thank God be good, Mi."

"Zahra, Abi wants to tell you something" Abi Hasan said.

"What are you saying, Abi?" asked Zahra with a frown.
