Bride Shadow

Zahras

"Patience to Mith." comforted Bian when he saw Mitha trying to wipe away the tears that fell one by one in her white cheeks. There is compassion in him. This was the first time Bian had seen Mitha cry. For years working for Abi, never once did he see the jolly and kind girl grieve to the point of crying like now. Eagle.he's been so outrageous..

"Sister, can you take me to my best friend's boarding house?" Finally the soft voice came out also from his clear lips still seemed to tremble.

"of course. Wh who? engg..where is the address? Bian was probably too busy scanning the pretty face beside her to be half surprised when suddenly the girl said something.

"Some turns forward. Antasari Street."

"Why are you going there?" bian asked not understanding.

"I'll be there for a while, brother. That place is close to where I work. I can't possibly live with Brother Bian, right?"

"But Mr. Abi told me to take care and take you." as soon as Bian marginalized his vehicle, this conversation he had taken seriously because it concerned the orders of his superior and foster father for him. Yes, Bian was considered a child by the Abhimanyu family because he was the son of Abi's best friend who lived in Surabaya. During Bian's college, they indeed entrusted Bian to Abi who also taught him business. Bian who is smart, diligent and obedient seized the attention of Abi who immediately gave him the position as the main secretary in his office even when he had not graduated.

"Being on me doesn't mean we're staying on our feet, does it? Especially if I am married. Covering up is not the best solution because it will only aggravate the situation." Mitha said subtly while looking straight ahead. Long Bian thought and weighed until he nodded in agreement.

Taking off Mitha alone was certainly not difficult for him. He already knew Mitha deeply inside. The girl was very tenacious and independent despite being the daughter of the wealthy Abhimanyu. He is also good at taking care of himself because he has been trained since childhood. Maria is a karate black belt holder who always painstakingly transports her little daughter to the training ground every day.

"You're right. Call sister if there's anything." break up Bian later and be taken in quickly by Mitha. Half of the burden is gone because it does not stay alone in Bian's apartment.

The car drove back and a few minutes later they had arrived at a row of small tenement houses which were large boarding houses, complete with parking lots. Mitha came down followed by Bian. He came to the door of the first house and knocked. A girl still wearing a white uniform opened the door.

"Mitha???"

"Yes, can we go in Ra?" and the girl who was still holding the door inching backwards and opened the door wide.

"Come in." he said kindly.

Zahra's house is not big. There is a small living room that is only spanned by thick carpets, one room is quite spacious, the kitchen and bathroom behind it. Although small but the house looks clean, neat and fragrant. Understandably, Zahra is a nurse who works at a hospital in their city.

"You guys....."

"This is Brother Bian, my papa secretary. Brother, this is my best friend Zahra" Mitha said introducing them. Zahra grabbed Bian's hand and shook his hand warmly.

"Ra, is there an empty room?"

"room? what's for?" tanya Zahra was still confused in her thoughts and prejudices.

"I need a temporary place to stay." Mitha still tried to find a reason to explain to Zahra.

"You..your parents or.your husband?" Zahra still guesses.

"But sir, Mitha is married. I'm afraid her husband will be angry."

"It was precisely her husband and father who told non Mitha to leave temporarily from home."

"I was rather cast out by my husband Ra." and the tears fell again, making Zahra pity and hugged the tiny body tightly. Yes, Zahra was indeed two years older than Mitha. They had been friends for several years when Mitha and herself worked part-time at a pastry shop, where Mitha works until now. Strayed, Mitha told him everything that happened to him. Zahra listened to him in silence, just as Bian had also chosen silence. This time he really did not want to join the story or add a broken word there.

"May I give you some advice?" Zahra took off her arms and sat cross-legged in her place.

"Yes." Yeah."

"You better stay here, Mith. I always get a night shift and then come home this morning of a month. It was only Sunday I was home. I also have two beds, if you want we can share the place."

"I don't want to trouble you Ra." Actually, Mitha Sungkan came directly to bring trouble to people's place. But he really needs Zahra's help this time.

"Troubt what? even I trouble you more at the end of the month."

"That was. Now you're not a student anymore. It's a well-established job." - timpal Mitha. Zahra often borrowed money from him when he had not graduated. His parents in the village were in financial trouble at the time. Mitha who is a rich man's son always loaned his salary because all his needs had been borne by his mother's father. From there, they get to know each other and share.

"It's Mith, the important thing is that you calm down first. It's up to you to do what. If you're really uncomfortable, the room next to me is empty. Just got back home from getting married."

"Then I'll keep that one, Ra. Please yes.send me to the owner." For a moment Zahra looked at Bian who gave the code so that he could agree with the lady's request.

"Well, let's go there." Zahra stood up first and invited Mitha across the street. It was the house of the owner. Bian who was left alone decided to go to the security post that was not far from Zahra's room and chat there.

It was not difficult for Zahra and Mitha to ask for a residence permit. Apart from being well acquainted with Zahra, Mitha also paid upfront her rent for two months. Fortunately, he did not forget to carry his sling bag everywhere.

"How's it?" bian asked as soon as they reached the security guard post where he was chatting.

"Alhamdulilah may be my sister." Mitha cheered happily. Spontaneously she pulls Zahra and Bian's arms to escort her to her room.

The same room as Zahra's. The difference is there is nothing there other than a bed plus a mattress and a small closet. But that's okay, what's important is that he gets a place to stay for a while.

"Mith, I think you need some stuff." Bian said after seeing the condition of the empty house leaping over it.

"No, brother, I just need a few. Can Brother Bian get me some books and some clothes at home? I've called bi Ijah to get it ready. In the meantime let Zahra take me shopping."

"hmmm well, I'll be right back." said Bian then say goodbye to the Abhimanyu residence.
