~ I'm sorry for taking so long to keep you waiting. You've been hurt a lot because of me. There is still a drop of hope for me to be with you.~
ππππ EGI ππππ
Zahra's body froze. His mouth is hard to speak. There is no doubt that there is a happy vibe that he is now feeling. But it's all too late.
Zahra got up from her seat and said, "Sorry, Uncle. I don't want to play with other people's feelings. Mas Ardi doesn't know anything about our problems. Forget about me, assume we've never linked each other's feelings."
Zahra walked aimlessly. The tears he could not hold. The net is wet, full of clear fluid in pain.
"O Allah, why should this be our destiny? Why when there are other people, we just express feelings for each other" Zahra murmured.
This world feels lonely. Although, he was now in the crowd. His soul thrashed, asking for help.
Without Zahra noticing Egi followed her all the way to the parking lot. With a single pull of Zahra's hand pulled, then said, "I'm sorry that I waited too long. Trust me, I'll ask you to Rey and Mona. Even if I have to get down on my knees, I'll prove, that I'm not kidding."
Zahra was stunned, her mind was in turmoil. I don't know what he should do at the moment. Should he approach Egi and live in love with him, or keep stepping with Ardi, the figure of the man he chose. Even without the taste of love.
Egi slowly released Zahra's hand. He walked two steps ahead of Zahra. Now their views meet. A look full of pain, hurt, happy and disappointed.
"Give me one chance. I will struggle in the moments of time that I have. If after everything I've done, you still don't want to accept. I will slowly kill this feeling, and let you be happy with the man of your choice" Egi said.
Zahra's crying broke. He wanted to feel like he entered into the arms of Egi, but he realized, that they had not been bound by a halal marriage. Little smiling ego. "Now, smile. I'm gonna call Lisa's sister, so Mona can take you home soon. You need a break."
Egi grabs her phone, contacts Lisa and asks her to go to the parking lot. Ten minutes passed, Mona and Lisa came over.
Mona looked at her son's puffy eyes. He glanced at Egi at a glance as if asking for an explanation through a gaze.
"I'm sorry, I'll explain it to Rey later" Egi's great-grandson.
Lisa who understood immediately stroked Egi's back quietly while whispering, "Sister sure, you have a strong reason for this."
Mona and Zahra go home first. Egi and Lisa immediately walk to their car.
During the trip the Egi pokus is divided. The shadow of Zahra crying in front of him continued to disturb his mind.
"If you are mine. Maybe when you cry, I will swiftly pull you into my arms. Forgive me," Inner Egi.

At home, Rey was silent after calling someone. His eyes looked at the ceiling. Closing his eyes, trying to convince his heart.
"Is he conscious" Rey murmured softly.
From outside the house, Mona and Zahra go inside. Mona embraces the child's shoulder full of warmth. Rey, who saw it, stood up and said, "What happened?"
Zahra and Mona were silent. A few seconds later, Zahra went to her room. He just wanted to sleep, forget for a moment the events that made him worried.
Rey is closing in on Mona. Embrace slowly while unraveling a smile. "What happened to our son, my sister?"
"I don't know, Brother. I just saw Zahra as if she was crying when I put it on Egi. I tried to ask for an explanation, but he said he would explain it later" Mona said.
Rey pulled his wife into his arms. Rey stared far away, imagining what she would hear from the young lecturer.
The night has changed. Adnan just got home after a night and a day in the hospital. Lisa, who saw her son coming home, asked, "Did something happen to your friend?"
Lisa smelled a smile. "Pardon forgive. Now rest, don't forget to pray Isya and have dinner."
Adnan nodded. Slowly he walked up the stairs. Glanced at his tightly shut Uncle's room, then continued walking and entered into his room right next to Egi's.
In the room Egi just finished performing prayer isya and dhikr for a while. His heart kept saying, "Just fight for what you feel is good. Maybe you're a little late, but we humans are just trying our best."
Egi stood up, opened the holster, put it back on the small table with the prayer mat. He walked outside to see his brother-in-law.
Egi was right in front of Rendy's room, knocking on the door twice, but there was no answer. He's coming downstairs right away. Maybe Rendy was enjoying the night sky behind their house.
Sure enough, the middle-aged man was indeed happy to enjoy the night time behind his house accompanied by a cup of warm tea.
Egi walked over to Rendy, sitting beside her without making a sound. Rendy realizes Egi's presence. He turned to Egi and said, "Is there anything you want to tell Brother?"
The ego takes a deep breath, then exhales slowly through the mouth. His head looked up, staring at the beautiful night sky.
"I love Zahra" Egi said without elaborating.
Rendy did not answer. He closed his eyes for a while, slowly inhaling the night air which was honestly very bone-chilling.
"Then?"
"I want to ask Rey."
"You know he's getting married?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Give Big Brother one reason for your intention!"
"I know it's too late, maybe even crazy. However, I felt pain when he was with another man. I feel like I live without a purpose. Maybe I'm too stupid. When he walked over to me, I told him to turn around. Now, as he began to move away, I began to feel the void, Brother."
Rendy turned towards Egi. "Then run towards him right now. Pull him as hard as you can. However, if everything you do he is still reluctant to move on. You must sincerely bear the pain as he felt before."
Egi thought for a moment. He immediately stood up and said, "Thank you, Brother."
As fast as lightning he went to the room, took the car keys and rushed off towards his destination.
At a slightly high speed Egi drives. His mind was fixed on the shadow of Zahra's face. He just wanted to get to the girl's house immediately.
From the opposite direction, a truck is seen walking so that it makes Egi panic and slam the steering wheel into the guardrail of the road.
"Wait for me, Zahra ...," said Egi on the sidelines of his panic.
Egi's forehead hit the steering wheel of the car. Slowly his eyes closed along with the loss of consciousness. Hysterical screams were heard from the people around.
