Guide Me My Wife
Ignore them.
Zahra walked with carefree footsteps while occasionally singing the parrot. After cooking two servings of lontong, Zahra was able to go home for a break. For the next week Zahra will go through probation.
Hope the madam's son likes my cooking. Zahra.
Zahra chose to walk because he wanted to save money. The job of the chef is not necessarily his because it could be the son of the mistress that his tongue dislocated or lost taste.
Zahra's footsteps slowly slowed down to see a car parked in front of her house.
"Whose car is that?" Zahra.
Zahra also tried to peek out of the fence.
"It's not dad's family. Why did they come home? There's Silvi too."
Looks like Zahra should wait and eavesdrop on their conversation a little. Unfortunately his position was too far away so he could only see from a distance.
"Why did Silvi's grandmother scold mom?"
Zahra saw her mother trying to hold back her tears by rubbing her eyes. Zahra couldn't stand it anymore, she walked up to the men.
"Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, mom. Zahra went home, "" said Zahra to Saras' surprise.
"Did Zahra hear everything?"
"Wa'alaikumusalam warohmatullahi wabarakatuh, you're home, son. Rest," said Saras, welcoming Zahra's hand, which kissed the back of his hand.
"Let's go, we're in." Zahra pulled Saras' hand in.
"Come in first. Mother will follow," said Saras worried to see the gaze of the guests not invited.
"We'll just go in, Mom, Zahra's got some good news for you." Zahra remained firm. Respect was already swallowed seeing their attitude towards his mother.
"Hey, you. Pel*cur's son! How arrogant of you," cynical Silvi.
"Hmmm, then why did you come to this pel*cur place? Go, we don't accept guests!" expel Zahra.
"How dare you! Who are you, huh? You're just the son of pel*cur. Don't act arrogant and pretentious. That big outfit of yours doesn't reflect your dirty heart!" shout Silvi.
"Even though my heart is dirty. But, I still remember my duty as a Muslim."
"Muslims. Muslimahs... Cih, the outside is like a Muslimah, but the inside is indeed ja*ang." Now Silvi's mother is also insinuating.
"Already Zahra, let's go inside." Saras couldn't stand it anymore, he pulled his daughter's hand and locked the door letting the Nonik family yell out there.
"Grandmother, look at them. They're so annoying!" silvi said he did not accept Zahra's treatment.
"We'll see later. Will they survive with their arrogance. Let's make them kneel and even prostrate at our feet." The four people smiled cunningly then walked out of the courtyard of the house.
Inside the house.
"Mom, if they come, I'll just close the door. They will only make you sad again" said Zahra, sitting on the bed hugging her.
"Yes, I'm sorry."
"Why are they coming, ma'am?" ask Zahra curiously.
"Nothing" answered Saras lying. He thinks Zahra can be lied to easily, Zahra knows that her mother is lying.
"Zahra, he said you had good news. What'sthat?" tanya Saras tried to divert the conversation.
Zahra remembered that she had good news. Because of the Silvi family, his joy suddenly disappeared.
"Mother, I was chosen to be a chef in a rich family. For one this week I'll be working on probation, but I'll stay on payroll for that one week. If the son of the hostess likes all my cooking, I will be appointed as a personal chef permanently." Saras was very happy to see Zahra's enthusiasm in telling stories.
"Alhamdulillah. Mom was very happy. You can do it, baby. Spirit," said Saras encouraging Zahra.
"If Zahra succeeds in becoming a chef. Zahra please leave the job, Zahra promises to make the mother happy." Zahra clasped Saras' hands staring expectantly.
Saras tears spilled seeing the struggle of his son who tried to pull him from the night world.
"Thank you, baby" Saras hugged the princess. Thankful that the Creator gave her a daughter who loved her very much.
He also wanted to get out of that world. Therefore, his son dropped out of school and was always despised as a child pel*cur.
I hope there is another way to pay that debt. Hope so.
"Good ma'am."
Zahra goes to the bathroom to clean up, while Saras goes to the kitchen to cook.
In the bathroom, Zahra was unceasingly smiling because she had already gotten a job.
"It's been seven days. My period is dry" said Zahra intend to take a mandatory bath.
******
After finishing cleaning up, Zahra now sits in her study chair to dry her hair. He doesn't go to school anymore, but he still wants to learn and feel what it's like to go to school. He often brought the problem sheets from the trash bin in front of High School and SMK to be reworked.
"Honey let's eat" said Saras into the room.
"Yes mother."
"Mom help ya." Saras helped dry Zahra's hair using a towel.
"Mother, tonight don't go. The hostess gave Zahra a down payment as the first prize win. I could use the money" Zahra pleaded with her to pull out a white envelope from her backpack.
Saras was just speechless unable to say anything as he was also confused. Every night he did not want to leave, but there was a debt he had to pay. He can't go and accompany Zahra tonight
Zahra opened the contents of the envelope, there was 500 thousand money. Zahra gave it to Saras.
"It's for mom, Zahra please don't go tonight."
How'this? Saras is confused as to what to do. Whether the Nonik family would accept money from Saras.
"Mother doesn't promise me dear" Saras said unkindly.
"Mother, Zahra please."
"Alright, I'll try to talk to your boss about it." Saras received the money and continued to dry Zahra's hair.
"Let's eat baby, your hair is dry." Zahra nodded, now it was still half twelve. Later at half-five in the afternoon he had to go to Raymond's mansion to cook his young master's dinner.
*****
16.11
Zahra is now cleaning her prayer equipment. He was just ready to pray and teach for a while. He had to go to Raymond's mansion immediately.
Zahra was wearing her simple clothes. Wearing black dress, long brackets, socks, handsock and flip-flops.
"Mother, Zahra go well." Zahra is looking for her mother.
"Yes, be careful."
Zahra peeked at the mother's cheek. "Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikumusalam warohmatullahi wabarakatuh."
Zahra leaves the house in a taxi to Raymond's mansion. While Saras smiled happily because tonight he was allowed not to go to the club. It was all because Saras gave Zahra the money.
