13. Counsel from Mom

Zahra sat next to Mrs. Tatik in her daughter's room.

"Zahra. Mom now wants to inquire. I hope you respond honestly, mom," slowly, Mrs. Tatik spoke.

Zahra nodded while she awaited her mother's next question.

"Your Korean acquaintance told you to stay with mum just now when you went back to pour a drink," according to Mrs. Tatik.

Zahra questioned, "Tell me what's it about Ma'am."

Mrs. Tatik gave her daughter's face a serious expression. Mrs. Tatik took a deep breath and remained silent for a minute before speaking.

Mrs. Tatik responded, "The young man said to mum if he loves you, Zahra."

The replacement for Zahra is now silent. Torn between embarrassment and dread, the girl bowed.

"My mum is getting older, girl. As you may probably be aware, mum has begun to feel unwell. Naturally, if your mother is genuinely excited for you to get married. Thank happy I got to witness you having kids. Is this the man you've been waiting for after cultivating a few men who are set to propose to you?" asked Mrs. Tatik, who answered your question succinctly.

Zahra raised her chin as she started to work up the nerve to look her mother in the eye. The girl didn't respond right away. Numerous factors should be taken into account. He is not completely certain that Joon is the soul mate that God has sent for him, even though he immediately feels a genuine sense of contentment.

"Before Zahra responds to the query, Mom. Let me first speak with my mum," Zahra remarked.

After giving her daughter a nod of approval, Mrs. Tatik suggested that she inquire herself.

"First, will it be an issue for mom if, for instance, I also adore Joon? In the second one, for instance, Joon is quite serious about joining Zahra at work. Will mom be pleased? Or is mum being disrespectful through force?" inquired Zahra.

"Girl, mum is simply a regular person. Mom, however, had a rule that she would never compel you to get married from the start. Mom won't forbid you if you already know what you want to do, either. However, mothers can only advise you to say istiqarah before making that important decision if you're a Muslim. Ask God for guidance," Mrs. Tatik answered.

Zahra asked with a scowl, "So he means, mum agrees if Zahra wishes to marry Joon?"

The woman nodded.

"Asking God personally will first reassure your heart. Don't make decisions only based on lust. Joon is indeed attractive, especially given the size of Indonesians. But he's from somewhere else in the world. In addition to physical disparities, numerous other distinctions will significantly impact your marriage," Mrs. Tatik once again spoke.

"Yes, ma'am, Zahra comprehends," she said.

"Then what? Your chance to respond to Mom's query is now" Mrs. Tatik enquired.

Zahra gave a slender smile before answering.

"In all honesty, I feel at ease around Joon. Since the meeting last year, I have been anticipating Joon's visit. To me, Joon seems unique to Zahra. Mom can't be upset, right?" Zahra stated.

Mother Tatik grinned. Honesty should at the very least come first.

"Mom won't be upset, I assure you. You then go through everything your mother just stated. Pray to God for direction. Mother, assist me in backup prayer," as she spoke, Mrs. Tatik stroked her daughter's upper arm.

Then Zahra gave her mother a firm embrace. Her cheeks were covered in happy tears.

"I'm grateful, ma'am. Zahra has such fortunate parents as mum and dad "Within her mother's arms," Zahra muttered.

"Sure, girl. Mom is happy to have a child like you, and she also feels fortunate. Despite being a daughter, you are a remarkable young lady. a powerful woman, "As she continued to stroke the princess's back", Mrs. Tatik said.

Zahra released the mother from her hug.

Then Mrs. Tatik clasped Zahra's arms and said, "No need to cry already. It came out that Mom's daughter was an adult."

"Ah! Mom might be. Yes, Zahra desires to return first. Since then, Ma'am, Zahra has grown weary of urinating," Zahra smiled as she spoke.

"God, oh God. It makes sense that it was you since Mom just detected a foul stench. There is a rush! "Mrs. Tatik shouted while blowing her nose.

Zahra refused, saying, "No ma'am, from earlier Zahra, didn't fart."

Then Mrs. Tatik laughed while shaking her head, clearly teasing.

Even though it was getting late, Zahra was still in her room working.

Why is that? Naturally, there is no time limit on his activity, which is directly tied to clients abroad. Due to the time zone differences between the two nations, Zahra prefers to schedule her workday around that of her clients.

KLUNG!

Zahra's mobile phone, which she only used for personal matters and not the business, received a message.

Upon receiving a message from Joon, Zahra is asked, "How come you're still online?"

"It's still functional. There is only business going on with Mr. Alen "Zahra answered.

Joon said, "Who is Mr. Alen?".

"American clients for business. Joon, I'm being serious here," Zahra answered back.

"Okay. Maintain Zahra's health. Love to you, "Joon answered. Following their talk, they parted ways.

"Yes! Goal!" Zahra, who was in her room alone and online, exclaimed.

"God, oh God. As it turned out, it was already 2 pm. Ah, I should probably get some sleep "As she turned off her computer, Zahra said.

Zahra just pulled the blanket before recalling her mother's advice to say prayers.

Zahra muttered, "Oh yes, I'd better pray istiqarah first," and opened the blanket again.

Zahra nevertheless took ablution water before later praying despite the cold.

The girl prayed the sunnah istiqarah after donning a mukena. Only after the prayer did he ask Allah for guidance, particularly regarding his soul mate.

Only until it is half past three in the morning can Zahra feel her body.

Zahra was ready to begin working right away the previous morning. With the aid of his mother, he cleaned the yard of the commercial space he had rented.

God is good. Mom, enough is enough. It doesn't matter if Mom just relaxes at home, Zahra added.

"Mom is at home, could you just follow me here?" Mrs. Tatik stated.

"Yes, ma'am, that very well could be. Zahra responded, "I'm especially glad someone is coming with me here," as she started organizing the documents for the upcoming delivery of products.

"Mom, your face looked so radiant this morning. What's the point of this, if you can tell?" questioned Mrs. Tatik

"Last night, Ma'am, Zahra went out to get a new project. Thank God, the mother's prayers must also have played a role in this. Many thanks, ma'am. If there is no mother," Zahra is unsure of what kind of person she will be.

"God is good. The news made your mother happy, son. All of that is a result of your efforts as well. God can't possibly answer prayer if there hasn't been any effort put forth in the request. What can you do to help?" Mrs. Tatik stated.

KRING KRING KRING

Zahra took her phone in hand.

"Hello, yes. Mrs. Ari, yes. Can be delivered right to my house today," Zahra greeted.

"Okay, Zahra. I already want to walk there, and this is the driver. I'll snap a picture of this later and send it with the road letter," Mrs. Ari answered. One of the artisans eventually worked beside Zahra.

"All set, Mrs. Ari. Very highly appreciated," Zahra retorted.

Zahra, you're welcome," Mrs. Ari said.

After they finished talking, Zahra inserted her phone once more.

Does Mom want to assist? But resist being weary. Zahra, who is highly responsible for taking care of her mother, stated, "Or if you don't, there's nothing you have to do but get fatigued.

Mrs. Tatik replied, "Yes, I'm bored if you just tell me to stop up."

Finally, Zahra gets her mother's chores done.

Zahra acknowledged the light work her mother was capable of doing and remarked, "Yes, I have, mom merely packed these few things then.

From the front, someone said, "Good morning."

"Joon? "Why are you here?" Zahra questioned.

Zahra hadn't welcomed the dashing man, but he simply strolled in after grinning.

Joon answered, "I'm out of the airport, dropping off mum and dad."

Joon questioned, "This looks to be extremely busy."

"Mom is there, there. You greet me first," Zahra instructed.

Naturally, oon quickly agreed with what Zahra stated.

Joon, who had approached Mrs. Tatik previously, welcomed her with "Hello Auntie."

"Hello. Joon Son Oh, so your parents went back to Korea?" questioned Mrs. Tatik

Joon answered, "Yes, Auntie, the flight was 7 o'clock earlier."

"Yes. I'm hoping they make it to Korea without incident. Want to assist Zahra here? Describe it. questioned Mrs. Tatik

"No, ma'am, Joon appears to have just dropped by", Zahra answered with her trademark grin.

Joon afterward returned to Zahra.

Joon questioned Zahra, "So you're so busy today, huh?

"Yes. Passable. 1500 items are available to send right now. What is the issue? Do you wish to assist?" inquired Zahra.

"Yes, I'm happy to help Zahra if you need it and I can," Joon answered after taking a look around.

Joon was finally able to assist Zahra with her work that day after being instructed to do so by Zahra.

"This explains why Mrs. Ari's items aren't available, isn't it? It should have been anticipated to arrive before 10:00, "As she examined the watch in her hand, Zahra said.

Joon asked, "Zahra, something wrong?"
