Zahrah (Victim of Retaliation)
Among the Fathers

The clock shows at 12 p.m. A handsome man is reluctant to leave his desk. There were a lot of documents he had to check and some reports he had to study.

He is Jerico, a man who has to overtime after a 2-day leave to go see his future wife.

A servant knocked on the door, then went inside after hearing the cry of Jericho's voice that let him in.

"Here's the coffee sir" Jerico nodded, then gave the waiter's code to leave immediately after putting the coffee on his desk.

The waiter immediately went out of Jerico's office.

Fyuuu

The sound of heavy breathing from Jerico.

Feeling his eyes begin to sleepy, Jerico sipped his coffee so that the drowsiness in his eyes disappeared.

After drinking coffee, Jerico grabbed his phone and opened the photo gallery. Looking for a picture of a little girl smiling at a boy.

The girl was Sirena as a child. He was Jericho's first love. Until now, the love is still intact and more and more.

This began when both parents invited him to visit the Sirena family. At that time he was still in 3rd grade SD, still very small and cute.

When Jericho met Sirena, Jericho was immediately amazed at the girl.

In the end, Jericho admired Sirena silently. He even told his parents. That she would make Sirena his wife, no matter how.

This was only known by his parents.

Back then, when Jerico graduated High School. Ellen wanted to propose Sirena to her son. He also strongly agrees that his son and his best friend's daughter are married.

However, Jerico does not approve of his mama's plans. He prevented his mother on the grounds that he wanted to support his wife with his labor.

If he's still in school or already in college, Jerico is afraid his wife will suffer later. Even though his parents' property was already very enough to finance their lives together.

Jericho has everything. Company, luxury house, car. All he got. Sirena is the only one he hasn't got.

"I can't wait, want to have you soon dear Sirena"

Cup.

Jerico kissed the screen of his phone, as if he were kissing Sirena.

...----------------...

Poor morning, Zahrah found his bicycle tire flat as he was about to leave for school.

"Oh, how is this. Why can my bike tire deflate like this" murmured Zahrah in panic. He didn't know what to go up to school. If he walks, he'll be late.

"Why son?" Gunawan saw his daughter confused while staring at his bicycle.

"Geez, are you flat?" that's Lastri's voice.

"Yes Mom, dad. Do not know why the tires arrived this way" replied Zahrah sad.

"Don't worry dear, I will take you" said Gunawan who immediately passed to take a helmet and motorcycle keys.

"What's the trouble, you're taking Zahrah?" zahra said she was not feeling well. Her father would be late for the garden if he took her to school.

"Astagfirullah son, father never felt bothered by children yah" said Gunawan said.

"Or Zahrah, we as parents should not do that. You are our responsibility." said the mother.

Zahrah was astonished, received a helmet from his father so that he immediately used it.

"Judah let's go!"gunawan said excitedly. It was rare for her to be able to take her daughter to school.

"Jaudah Ma'am, Zahra left first" said Zahra kissing Lastri's hand.

"Heart well baby, dad" Pastri replied waving his hand.

"Assalamualaikum" said Zahrah before they drove.

......................

Arriving at the school gate, Zahrah immediately kissed his father's hand saying goodbye.

"Zahrah was school and dad"

"Yes dear.Nanyi if you are finished school. You just call dad. Let me pick you up"

Zahrah was about to answer, but someone answered him first.

"No need to, Zahrah let me take you later"

Zahra and Gunawan turned to the source of the voice.

"Who are you?" gunawan asked, frowning. He just saw Fian, Zahrah's schoolmate.

"Dad, don't listen to him. Now I go home, it's not good to work with my colleagues in the garden if you come late" said Zahrah.

Gunawan nodded, then passed away riding his motorcycle.

"What the hell are you, I'm talking about you. I got in trouble because of you. Watch it! I'll make sure your life is ruined!" zahrah said ketus and passed away.

"The harder it is to get the more interested I am" Fian murmured.

"Dear wait for me?!"Fian ran after his scourge.

Hearing Fian's cry, Zahrah further accelerated his pace. He even ran half. So that Fian does not manage to chase after him. Zahra really doesn't want to deal with people like Fian.

...----------------...

Without feeling the time quickly pass. The time that Jerico looked forward to and most Sirens avoided arrived.

Jerico felt very happy, inversely proportional to Sirena who had not stopped crying.

Today Jericho and Sirena are getting married.

Zahrah looked at her brother in wonder, since earlier her brother was just crying. Today is her day of happiness.

Or, what are the happy tears that her sister let out?

Various opinions glide in the mind of Zahrah. He did not get a definite answer to the question he answered himself.

"Sir kok nangis anyway, this is the marriage of brother loh. Brother should be happy!" zahra finally asked a question.

"You won't understand, so you just shut up" Sirena replied as she wiped her tears.

"Where to understand, brother, there is no similar story to me" snorted Zahra annoyed at his brother who never wanted to open to him.

Toks..... Toks..... Tok

Sirena immediately wiped her tears with her heart, so that her makeup was not removed. As for Zahra, she turned to the door that was not long open and her mother appeared.

Lastri smiled to see her daughter who looked very beautiful in a wedding dress.

"God, what a beautiful mother's daughter" said Lastri.

Sirena smiled faintly, covering up the sadness that was spreading in her heart.

For the happiness of both parents. Sirena willingly in a match with a foreign man that he did not know. Let alone love, just love Lastri does not have on Jerico.

"Let's go, everyone is waiting for us" said Lastri helping her daughter stand up.

Zahra stood up, she helped her mother tidy up the strands of her brother's wedding dress so as not to make her brother difficult in walking.

Zahra's assisted Lastri led Sirena slowly out of the room.

Everyone was stunned, they were amazed when they saw Sirena who looked so beautiful. Even Jerico had seen his future wife who was very beautiful. Luckily her mammoth woke herself up before the flies entered her mouth so long she gawked at the beauty of Sirena.

"Is this what is called the angel of heaven?" muttered the week.
