MY BOYFRIEND LECTURER
SN 101'S
Zalfa walked into another room. Still he was ringing with two faces that appeared simultaneously earlier. And he himself was confused as to why his heart was still thinking about Faisal. Maybe because his love for Faisal is still fertile and it is not easy for him to forget it. A lot of incitement in his heart asked him to keep thinking about Faisal, the man who was clearly not halal for him to think about at this moment. Is this the ordeal for Zalfa who lived the household based solely on the intention to cover up the awkwardness in him alone and intend to leave Arkhan after? Why is it so difficult to worship according to the right guidance? Why is the exam so complicated for him?
Zalfa shook his head trying to eliminate the bad thoughts in his head. He must not complain, maybe this is how God tests his faith, whether he wants to live his life according to his guidance, or even violate it.
Zalfa's steps stopped when he found Ishmael in the family room.
“Who was it, Zalfa?” ask Ismail.
Zalfa glanced at Ismail and sighed. “Sby asking Mas dateng to his house. New broadcast TV.” Zalfa diverted the conversation. He did not want to talk about Arkhan, or Faisal.
“Basic tuh kiddo. Today I still use parabola.” Ismail bobbing head. “O yes, you have not answered me. Who just came in?”
“Mm... Two people who made my head almost break.” Zalfa breathed.
Ismail smiled. “Bikin broken head how do you mean?”
“Arkhan and Faisal.”
“You mean, they came together?” Ishmael was not sure.
“If Mas was there earlier, maybe Mas would laugh somersaults writhing my face stressed. I was married to Arkhan only for a few moments, only to cover the disgrace if I were to conceive her child. And I still want to go back to Faisal. But it looks like things turned around to corner me.”
“Already, forget Faisal. He's your past. Remember, parents' blessing is very important. While Ms. Hafizah doesn't approve of you. This is a good reason for you to forget about Faisal. Then what about old man Arkhan?”
Zalfa was silent for a moment, then replied, “Parent Arkhan accepted me well.”
“Well. Already, don't think about the others. I just hope you can guide Arkhan to be a good priest to you. He converts, he needs an example from a Muslim woman like you.” Ishmael chose to go to the house of Soleh and would not hear anything more from Zalfa's mouth. He entered the house next door after knocking on the door and Soleh opened it. They went straight to the room.
“Custom. Old disease. Mas must know better what the disease is,” replied Soleh while turning on the TV.
“You are yes. Afkirin aja ngapa junkyard gini.”
“Hehehee..” Soleh chuckling. “O yes Mas, by the way how about Zalfa? I heard she married a man she didn't love.” Soleh investigated without making Ismail suspect that he was also taking a heart on Ahsel.
“Ah, you can visit Zalfa.”
“I Just want to give input aja.”
“Ooh. Acute gallau. His love was great for Faisal, while he was married to Arkhan. Weird, right? Faisal loved Zalfa's death. So then.. Ah, don't know what to say. Looks like Faisal's the only one in his head.”
“If you can advise, just stay both Mas. It's fair, yuh.”
“You. Can hang his Zalfa if both are cut off.”
“Haha...”.
“But for sure, Faisal was the biggest influence in Zalfa.”
Soleh nodded.
