Friendship Has Changed Destiny

Chapter 31. Promise before leaving

Angga convinces Zia, even if she goes far away but her love will never change.

"I promise that, after all the business is done I'll be right back. Later I will transfer money for your needs, you must continue to seek treatment in order to recover completely, take care of yourself for me who, I,

I don't want you to be sad, I want to see my Zia smile. Come on give me that beautiful smile that I'll remember every time I miss you."

The goose wiped away their tears. Zia also gave her most beautiful smile to the lover.

"You just focus there with Papa's recovery and focus on solving the company's problems, God willing I promise I will take good care of myself until I recover and I will always wait for your return."

This time Angga kissed her lover's forehead, it feels like time is running faster until the heavier the feeling of being separated.Without they realize Rania is already standing on the doorstep. She overhears a conversation between Angga and Zia, and Nia cries.

"So Zia's dream is real, you're going to go far?" Rania said as she walked closer to her two best friends.

"Yes" answered both.

"It turns out your inner bond is very strong, if something happens between you, you can feel each other. How long are you planning on being there?"

"I don't know Rania yet."

"A month, two months, a year maybe even more I don't know. It all depends on my father's health. If there is no development with papa's health, I have to take care of the head office of papa company in Jakarta and I have to go to Papua to solve the problems that are happening there. I'm the only one they can hope for."

"If it happens what about your college plan?"

"If Allah wills that to happen I might go to college in Jakarta."

"So what about my best friend's fate, I don't want you to hang him with an uncertain wait."

Zia looked at Rania's face, why did she speak like that. The burden of Angga's mind was heavy why Rania had to burden him with the problem.

"I'm sorry, I just don't want my best friend who I care about to waste her life with uncertain waiting."

Before answering Rania's question, Angga took a deep breath, "I know Nia, I'm more tormented thinking about this. Not being able to see Zia in a matter of hours has tortured me especially now we will be separated in a time that I do not know until when.

But I promise, you as a witness Nia if later I in the next year do have to settle in Jakarta, I will come to propose to Zia. I'll take Zia to Jakarta, we'll get married and continue our studies after marriage."

"Alright, we keep your promise Ngga", continued Rania.

"Will but if you don't return a year later and don't ask Zia what are the consequences for your relationship?"

"Zia is free to accept any man who likes her or who intends to marry her."

"But if Zia who breaks the promise of receiving another man before until the time you agree how? what are you gonna do with him?"

"I won't do anything to her, my love for Zia is sincere, I'll be happy if I see Zia happy. If Zia can be happy with another man I'm sincere, even though that must be very painful for me."

"I'm so sad, hopefully you can pass the test of your love and hopefully Papa you recover quickly No, I pray we can go to college together here. I'd be sad if I had to part with you, you guys are my best friends."

"You're also our best friend Rania. As we gather here again, I also want to ask for help with you Nia, please take care of Rania, mother and sister because they are part of my heart, my heart is left here."

"Siiiaap Mr. Boss, I will definitely take care of them even without you asking even though because they are part of my happiness. With them I know what it's like to be happy to have a mother, what it's like to have a brother and how happy to have a sister. As you know I'm an only child, my mother's been dead since I was a child, my father's been out of town, my life was lonely before I knew you."

"Thank you" said Zia Lirih.

"The love you give us is worth more than anything."

"Oh yes Zia, if Angga lectures in Jakarta we can also join the lecture there. Let's find a boarding house there, if you're with you I'll get permission."

"I don't seem to be the one that Rania can."

"Why?"

"What about mom and sister? Mom is often sick and sister is still too small to be able to take care of herself and also take care of mom, It can't be Nia."

"So if you later lamar Angga and get married then you are taken to Jakarta how, it is the same also have to leave them here."

"Who is Nia, if Zia has become my wife, wherever we live our mother and sister insha Allah will bring us", answered Angga.

"Rania, tomorrow morning I'm leaving on the first flight, let me take care of Zia for the night. Can I ask you tomorrow at 6 am to help you get here again to replace me looking after Zia?"

"God's Insha can ngga, I'll ask to intersect Asep mang after dawn prayers."

"Then I'll call mom, so you can say goodbye to mom, but I went out and went where did Zia go?, let me follow up."

"Said that Nia's cantin, there's something Mom wants to buy."

"Alright I'll look for mom first."

"I want to spend the night alone with you. We talk, listen to our favorite music and songs that we have not been able to listen to together for a long time because we are busy with work in the office that has taken my time, if you are healed now, then you are, maybe at this time I will certainly immediately invite you to enjoy the atmosphere of the beach."

"We want to walk on the beach, play sand, look for shells and small snail snails, play the waves have not been implemented.

Hopefully someday we have the opportunity to enjoy the arrival of dusk on the beach and enjoy the sunrise on the beautiful hill Simarjarunjung. The beauty of Lake Toba and its Samosir island will definitely make you happy Zia. There we will see the beauty of nature which shows one of the greatness of the creator."

"Yes who, must be very exciting yes can play the waves on the beach and can see the beauty of the lake Toba up close. All this time I just heard it from people's stories and saw it in the show that aired on television. Surely many foreign boules who visit there yes who."

"Yes, because these places are one of the famous recreation places in North Sumatra besides Berastagi."

"But what's wrong, I'm not sorry I haven't had a chance. To be able to know you, to be able to enter your life, to have a chance to get your heart and love is already the most beautiful gift for me. Just to be with you wherever I'll be happy."

Angga kissed Zia's head again.

"Thank you, you are also the most wonderful gift God has given me for my life. Knowing you makes me closer to God, more able to appreciate life and more able to love parents and family. Once again thank you for stopping by and settling in my heart."

Zia replied to Angga with a very sweet smile.

Now Mama and Rania are back.

"Oh yes son, said son Rania there is something you want to talk to mother."

"Yes ma'am", Anggun told me everything and about his sudden departure having to fly to Jakarta tomorrow morning.

"Angga wants to say goodbye to mother, before leaving Angga wants to ask Zia from mother to be an escort Angga later. Angga wishes Zia and mother patiently wait until Angga returns.

At this time witnessed mother and Rania Angga want to give a sign that Angga is seriously related to Zia."

Without further ado Angga expressed his intention which made all surprised at once happy.

Sayapun take something out of his pocket, it turns out a pair of white gold rings.

"Will mother be willing to take care of Zia for Angga until one day Angga will officially bring both parents Angga to propose to Zia?"

Mother cried when she witnessed the seriousness of Angga.

"Does mother allow Angga to attach this ring to Zia's ring finger?"

Mother just nodded while continuing to cry.

Even though he was surprised, he did not expect to get a surprise like this. Then Angga put the ring on Zia's ring finger and Zia put the ring on Angga's ring finger.

Rania who witnessed it was moved then she congratulated and hugged her best friend while crying. Mother also hugged Zia tightly and the two came back crying.

"Thank you son, may one day you be paired and united by God in the sacred bond of marriage."

"Aamiin", they answered in unison.

"Oh yes ma'am, it's Angga's last night here. Tonight let Angga take care of Zia. Mom and Rania can rest. Tomorrow morning Angga will leave at 6 am from here."

"Yes ma'am, now we go home and tomorrow after dawn Nia picked up mommy to come back here".

"All right, son."

"Mother do not cook again at home for supplies tomorrow here, later the mother is exhausted, Zia does not want the mother will be sick. Tomorrow just buy all the needs of the bagin bu", continued Zia.

"Yes, son, don't worry about me too much. Insha Allah mother is fine, son, the important thing is now to think about your recovery yes and enough rest."

"Let's get our mom ready to go home, Rania's already telephoned Asep's mang to pick us up."

"Yes, son."

Mother and Rania hurry to clean up the dirty clothes and other items to be taken home, then they say goodbye to Angga and Zia.

"Our excuse me, please take it and keep Zia, son."

"Insha Allah ma'am", answered Angga.

"Assalamu'alaikum", saying goodbye to Mom and Nia.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" answered Zia and Angga.

"Be careful mom, Rania", Zia replied.

"OK", while passing out carrying Rania's mother's bag also gave her thumbs up.
