Girlfriend Settings

Chapter 31

“Aksa.”

“Apaan?”

“Kok really jutek? You why?”

Aksa did not reply, just staring straight at the road ahead.

Zanna realized the car was going faster. The streets are pretty solid.

“Sa, slow down!”

The car stopped in front of the store.

The expression of Aksa is unpredictable. Clearly, his mood was not good.

“Dalton who is it?” finally Aksa made a sound, without looking.

“He's my classmate at Magister.” Zanna answered flatly.

“You made a deal with him meeting earlier?”

“I didn't even know he was going to Jakarta. Since I returned to Indonesia I have never contacted him.”

“What is your relationship with him?”

Zanna realized the atmosphere was turning hot because Aksa was jealous. Secretly he was happy. “We're just friends.”

“Long. He used to say kangen all the same to you, he must be a special friend, right? Until you ask me to drive her back to her hotel for fear she's straying in Jakarta?”

“Yes I asked for help because she's new here, Sa. I was just like him, but just a friend. He was kind to me, and helped me a lot in New York. No more.”

Aksa snorted annoyedly, and threw away her face.

“You're jealous?” ask Zanna.

“Yes, I'm jealous. I don't like having other guys close to you. I'm jealous because you're familiar with Dalton.” Aksa bluntly vaporized his jealousy until Zanna bengong.

Zanna was confused as to what to say.

“But free too, because I don't mean anything to you. If you're really planning revenge bales, you did it. My heart is broken know not!”

“How did you say that? I never had a grudge against you.”

“Lying! You must still be vengeful because of my treatment to you first! And now when I love you, it's the payoff, right? You won't be that easy sorry. You are waiting for this moment, right?”

Zanna sighed and looked away. It is difficult to talk to someone who is jealous, want to talk anything will not enter his brain.

“We talk again if your emotions have subsided,” said Zanna while out of the car.

Aksa just kept quiet had no intention of pursuing.

As soon as Zanna left, she realized.

“Am I too childish?” he hit the steering wheel, pissed. “Shit! Obviously I was childish. Why am I so jealous?”

He looked back. “Where did Zanna go? I have to see him.”

Niko called. “Halo Sa, where are you? A talk show on water. You must be present on time.”

Aksa suddenly got an idea. “The trick is live right?”

***

Arriving at the apartment, Zanna threw her body on the sofa. “When did Aksa become an adult? Still emotional so.”

Grandma came from the kitchen and brought me a glass of water. “Home home, Son?”

“Eh Grandma.” Zanna shuffled and received her drink.

Once in Indonesia, Zanna visited Granny Ningrum in an old hut. It turns out that a year ago Grandpa Amin died. Since Grandma was alone, Zanna invited her to live together. As soon as Grandma said she wanted to stay with him, she was happy that she didn't have to be alone anymore.

TV broadcasts ads for men's face wash soap.

Zanna was stuck seeing Aksa who became an advertising star.

“Nak Aksa is getting more handsome? Grandma until pangling when she met.” Grandma's words make Zanna kepo.

“Meet Aksa? When, Grandma?”

“Then Grandma's husband died, Nak Aksa often ngunjungin Granny. He's told a lot about Nak Zanna.”

“Oh yes?”

Zanna's cheeks are flushed. “Masa’ anyway Grandma? Am I panting with him? She is a famous artist, she is also much younger than me. Everyone says I don't fit in with Aksa. Besides, at that time he was not serious with me.”

“Ngapain cares people say? If you love each other, no one will separate you. As long as you are honest with each other's feelings. Believe the same Grandma. She is a pity on you.”

Zanna was stunned to hear Grandma's words. “But..he's still like a kid, Grandma. He likes excessive jealousy.”

“It's not a sign he's afraid of losing you, son. Moreover, you guys haven't met for a long time. But maybe he can't control his emotions yet.”

Masa’ anyway?

I'm afraid Aksa's just playing me. Like he used to do.

TV broadcasts celebrity talk shows.

Zanna was stuck seeing Aksa who was a guest star.

“This is the live show? Means just now he went straight away because of work not because he cares about me.” Zanna was a baper.

There are some standard questions and the trite base is not important.

“What about your ex-boyfriend? Denger Denger he just came home from abroad.” The host's question shocked Zanna.

Was it during Zanna's away that Aksa had no girlfriend or close to another woman?

Why did the host ask that question?

Aksa smiled casually. “Dia.. getting beautiful. Maybe old love springing back this.”

Everyone laughed thinking Aksa was just joking.

Zanna pouted in annoyance and stood up.

“Lho where are you going, son? Is the show not finished?” ask Grandma.

“You take a shower, Grandma. It doesn't matter the show.”

“There are you want to convey the same ex more beautiful?” the host's question made Zanna undo her steps and turn to face the tv again.

Aksa stared at the camera. His face was so sincere and gentle. “Maybe, I'm not serious about you. I was just playing you. But right now, I want you to believe my feelings are no joke. I love you.”

Zanna. Still not sure of Aksa's statement. Aksa kagonya acting, could be just to raise the rating of the show.

“From earlier said dear, call his name dong.” Host ceplas ceplos.

But it's good that Aksa dares to say who he meant.

Aksa smiled coolly. “Zanna Kirana. Now he's a lecturer at my college first.”

Directly heard a loud scream and a standing ovation.

Zanna's cheeks are flushed like tomatoes. “So she's serious?”

Granny smiled seeing Zanna misbehaving.

“Zanna, I know you must be watching this show. All you have to know is that I'm being honest about my feelings. If your feelings are the same, meet me at the place we met before you went abroad. I'll wait for you. Until whenever. I love you.”

The closing sentence of Aksa makes Zanna's knee limp.

***

It's 7 p.m., Zanna's getting restless. Pacing in front of the tv. Hope Aksa clarification. There's no way he's waiting there until this malem.

“Eat first yes. From noon definitely have not eaten anything.” Grandma serves grilled chicken and shrimp capcay.

Zanna holding a restless hp. Should I call Aksa?

The live event was completed at 3, meaning that it had been more than 3 hours Aksa waiting there. But did he lie?

But it was a national television show. It's too bad that this is just a joke.

He finally gave up. Change her clothes, wear a hijab, and grab a bag. Rushed out of the room.

Grandma was smiling because she knew where Zanna was going.

“Be careful, son. If you have met here Grandma cook a lot.”

Zanna smiled uncertainly. He just followed his heart.
