'Hoaaammm'
"What time is it" said Zahra, rubbing her eyes
"It's seven past five minutes, miss." replied Kia
"God. Who are you." Zahra who just knew the presence of Kia was shocked to not believe.
"Why I'm here all the time."
"Where am I now." continued Zahra puzzled
"Miss is in Mr.'s apartment" Kia said
"Master? that crazy guy you mean."
"I didn't hear wrong. Miss called out to you as an insane man." muttered Kia in her heart
"Why are you silent." said Zahra, breaking Kia's daydream
"Oh. Sorry miss. Yes, Mr. Deon I mean."
Zahra got up from her bed. He rushed out of the room to make sure he was still in the same place.
"Ah. Turns right. I'm still in this apartment." murmured Zahra in her heart
"Miss. Miss where to go." said Kia who was curious about the behavior of her miss
"Ah. Why do you keep calling me miss." replied Zahra by walking towards the sofa
"Sorry miss. Because miss is my boss."
"Haha. Since when did I appoint you to be my employee. You're so funny."
"To be exact, sir, who raised me to be the bodyguard of the lady."
"What's? I didn't hear wrong."
"Absolutely not miss."
"Sad. For what reason was that insane man raising someone to be my bodyguard."
"That's why only you know, miss."
"Ah. Where is that crazy guy now."
"Ma, I mean Miss Deon" replied Kia hesitatingly
"Yes. Who else wouldn't be him." said Zahra
"Mr Deon still has a job in her office, miss. You'll be back around ten o'clock tonight."
"Will he return to this apartment."
"Yes, miss."
"Good is it."
"you sit here." ask Zahra to Kia who stood up earlier while pointing at the empty spot beside her
"No miss. I'll just sit here."
"Why is that. Sit here."
"I don't think I deserve to sit next to you."
"Haha. What is inappropriate. You're so funny."
"Hurry up here." Zahra stood up and pulled Kia's hand to sit beside her
"Thank you, miss."
"You're so funny anyway. Why should I thank you."
"I thank you for the kindness of the lady."
"Ah. I think I've only met someone really innocent like you."
"Who's your name."
"My name is Zazkia. Miss can call me Kia."
"Ah. Nice to meet you Kia. My name is Zahra." said Zahra extending her hand
"It is also nice to meet you, miss." replied Kia who only clenched her two hands
"Ah. Yes." said Zahra embarrassed and pulled his helping hand.
🕗 silent atmosphere
Suddenly the sound of the phone ringing shocked the silence between Zahra and Kia.
Zahra immediately moved from her seat. He looked for the source of the familiar sound he heard. Apparently a call came in from his father.
"Hallo Zahra" said the man from across the phone
"Hallo sir." replied Zahra
"Zahra's news is fine sir."
"Workers and family in the village how."
"Thank God for your good news. I'm glad to hear it."
"The news of the Father and others is also good son."
"Thank God, sir."
"Zahra." call the man who's none other than Zahra's father
"Yes sir."
"When you're going home, son. It's been a year since I met you. I miss my father."
"That's right, Zahra will definitely be home sir."
"Are you still angry with me."
"That problem. No need to talk about it anymore, sir. Zahra will definitely be home. Zahra also misses father."
"Yes son. Go home soon, son."
"Yes sir."
"Yes, son. The phone closes first. You want to rest. I'm waiting for your return, son."
"Yes sir."
Tut Tut Tut
The call is over.
Instantly, Zahra fell down to shed her tears that she could not bear.
He could not hear the voice of his father that he had not heard for a long time. He misses his father very much.
Zahra had been separated from her for a year. Not for no reason, but because Zahra felt isolated in the house that he had lived in.
It all started when her mother left her for good. Her father decided to remarry with a widow of three children. And at that moment, Zahra's world really changed.
"Miss. Missy. What's the matter, miss." cried Kia over to Zahra who was crying
"Miss. Come stand up." said Kia while helping her stand up
"Come lady. I help you to rest in bed." continued Kia while leading Zahra to the bedside and lay her down
"Miss rest. I'll get you a drink." said Kia ran to get some water and gave it to Zahra
"Thank you Kia." said Zahra, giving him a glass of water that he had drunk
"Does she feel better." asked Kia
"Kia's already. I'm fine. You don't have to worry."
"But Miss has worried me. What if you find out."
"No. I'm it's okay. I just miss my parents." Zahra calmed Kia's worries
"Ahh, thank goodness miss."
"If miss misses, why don't you try to meet them."
"I'm sorry, miss. I've been presumptuous in asking." said Kia
"No Kia. Your words are right. I should've met her."
"But I don't have the courage."
"I'll go with the lady if the lady wants to see them."
"No Kia. I'm still thinking of the right time to meet him."
"All right, miss."
"Now miss rest."
"Yes Kia. Thanks for your attention."
"Well miss."
"If you ever need my help, call me lady. I will accompany you from the outside." Kia said and left Zahra for the main hall
Zahra stared at Kia's departure. He then cleaned the rest of his tears. He stroked the growing belly of the fetus inside his.
"What should I tell my father. I'd love to see her. But my situation now is not possible. I'll only embarrass him if I force him to meet my circumstances like this."
"Mother, Father. Forgive your son who can't keep the honor. I hope you won't regret giving birth to me as your son."
Zahra really felt desperate and down. He really regretted what happened that day. He instills great hatred in the man who has destroyed his future and his life.
"Look at what I'm going to repay you for what you did, sir. You'll never get the kid you want so badly. I'll take her away from you. I'm gonna make you unable to be with her. Until you feel pain and frustration. As I feel right now." said Zahra cursing the father of the child in her womb
