The life of Zahra
Ensuring relationships

Already a month from the meeting of Zahra and Fatir, during that time Fatir had once visited the house of Zahra and several times also met Zahra in his shop.

Initially Fatir invited to meet outside, but Zahra reasoned if he could not meet outside, because Fatir only did not meet two, and that in Zahra's sense is not true. So Zahra suggested that Fatir if he wanted to meet him come to the house, or to the store. Because if at home there are of course parents, and if in the store there is Mia and one new male employee, so they are not just the two.

"Sorry Fatir has been known for a month and we also so often meet, it does not feel good if too long if a man continues to come to women without a clear purpose, I'd like to ask you about the clarity of our relationship"

This month, Zahra had never heard of a fatir discussing in a more serious direction. And it feels like Zahra needs certainty.

"I understand what you mean Zahra, is it not clear to you why I keep coming to see you? I feel that it suits you, like the purpose of my introducing me to you, you must understand that."

"I understand a little by looking at your attitude, but I've never heard directly from you"

Zahra wanted to clarify how the relationship was

"We'll just go for it, yeah, I haven't discussed it because there's something I need to get done, and maybe it's time"

Fatir paused his words

"I need one more year to get married, not that I'm not serious, but there's a goal I have to achieve that's none other than my career, that's also for our future, that's also, to make our lives more sustainable"

Zahra took a deep breath, not denied Zahra also felt fit with Fatir, previously Zahra had heard the story from Mr. Asep that Fatir would not delay marriage in the sense that it would be hasty if Fatir felt fit, but different from the reality that Fatir said, it felt a year too long, it was, not unable to wait, but Zahra did not want to delay nunda again.

"I appreciate you Fatir, pursue your mind, I'm freeing you to pursue your career, but sorry for one year I can't promise you anything"

"You mean? you don't want to wait and fight for it, one year ra? do I need to cut you first ra?"

"Can't it be less? I don't think it's good, one year from sermon to marriage it's too long, it's better we go back on our own path, there's no bond between us, there's no bond between us, when paired we will be rediscovered and vice versa"

Indeed, in Islam there is no specific provision that explains how long to hold a marriage after the preaching process.

However, Islam recommends not to delay the good in the long term. Because, goodness must be implemented immediately, so that the value of worship will be felt as soon as possible. In addition, when time delays long enough, there will be more temptations that can make us fall into the hole of error.

It was also felt by Zahra, the time of one year according to him was too long, in addition to his increasing age Zahra was also afraid if lapsed into the act of mutiny.

Fatir took a deep breath

"I thought you could fight together and wait for me, but if it's your decision I can't force it, then I'll go home, Assalamualaikum".

"Valayukumsalam"

Fatir stepped towards the door while Zahra headed towards the cashier's table.

"If in a year's time we're still the same on my own, can I come to you and continue our story"

Just a few steps away, Fatir sounded back.

"We do not know what will happen one year later, let it all go according to God's scenario"

Zahra continued his steps, as well as Fatir, undenied in their hearts each there is a sense of sadness and disappointment.
