"Murray..." Ardiansyah came to Zahrana who was sitting looking at the open sea while hugging her knees on the sand of the beach.
The woman quickly wiped her tears before turning her head to answer Ardiansyah's call.
"Hey, you just surprised me..." Zahrana chirps tried to hide her sadness from the man.
Aridiansyah who was excited, suddenly faded the smile on her lips slowly. He stared at the puzzled face of Zahrana while continuing to try to neutralize the roar of his breath that had stung.
"You crying, Zahra?" Her question looked worried.
"No... Who's crying, huh?" Elak Zahrana quickly got up from his seat and walked forward to Ardiansyah who was still waiting for an explanation from him.
"What's the matter, Zahra? Don't try to hide anything from me. I've known you for a long time, Zahra..." Aridiansyah said she could not believe the girl's answer. He was chasing Zahrana's standing position.
"I'm fine, don't be so anxious, Ri..." Zahrana spouted her laughter. "Why are you here? You're following me, right? Come, ngaku..." Accuse Zahrana of diverting Aridiansyah's questions.
"I went to your house, but you weren't home... Yeah, I'll just go straight to the beach..." Ari replied who was consumed by the pretence of the girl.
"What's looking for me, huh?"
"Lasso..."
"Huh? Missed?" Zahrana's eyes bulged.
"Never ask me why I'm looking for you, Zahra... Because Aridiansyah's body would never be perfect without her Zahrana..." Terang Ardiansyah tried to expose his heart.
"Huu..." Zahrana cheers mock.
"Some of you use to ask everything..." Rulled Ari with a reddened face was the behavior of Zahrana who was completely insensitive to his speech.
"So I saw you were so happy, Ri... What's the news?"
"Take a guess! What's up..."
"I don't know..." Sahut Zahrana did not respond to Ari's mood.
"Ah, don't yell at you, Zahra..." Ari said a small grunt. "Actually why are you? You must be sad again, right? Let's story..." Force Ari again.
"There's no problem, Ri..." Tukas Zahrana insisted on hiding his mood at that time. "Is your mother pregnant again?" Gurau Zahrana again tried to make fun.
"What?" Ari glared at Zahrana's question which was so annoying to him.
"You look so happy. Are you pregnant again? If so, congratulations, Ri... You're gonna have a baby sister..." Zahrana continued to irritate Ari.
"What the hell are you? Don't make it up... Just make my high blood run out..." Ari was angry.
"Yes, that was it, Zahra... Now I'm grown up, ashamed to know..." Ari said grumbling.
"Why should you be ashamed?"
"Ah, come on, Zahra... You are just there. So you don't know why I'm happy, do you?" Tanya Ari returned their conversation hatq that had been lost because of the guyonan Zahrana.
"No idea, Ari... I have no sixth sense..." Zahrana's murmur began to carelessly guess the answer to his friend's happiness.
"I graduated at xxx University, Zahra...!" Ari exclaimed so eagerly to tell him why his heart was so happy at that time.
"Waaah... Terrific you... Alhamdulillahot... Congratulations, Aridiansyah..." Zahrana said she seemed happy to hear it. His blessed hands revealed that he was truly happy for the success of Aridiansyah.
"What are you, Zahra? Where did you go to college?"
"I-i... I'm not going to college, Ri..." Zahrana replied back Murung. This time he was no longer able to hide his sadness.
"Loh, why? Don't you want to go to college like Rianur's sister?" looks of disappointment on Aridiansyah's face after hearing Zahrana's confession.
"Yes, that was before. It's not anymore. I want to be angry first. Tired of learning, my brain feels dead-end..." Zahrana said reasoned.
Aridiansyah was closer to him than anyone, so Ari knew that at that time Zahrana was lying to him.
"What's the cost?" Terka Ari lirih's.
"Huh?" Zahrana. Iya looked into Ari's eyes who was also looking into her eyes with such a deep feeling. "What the hell are you, Ri? I was the one who was lazy in college. The woman will eventually become a housewife, take care of the house, take care of the husband, and if there is sustenance, yes take care of the child... Somewhere between the two of us, you can reach our dreams. That's more than enough for me... You represented my dream of going to school to a higher level..." Zahrana's papar rambles long.
"Zorah..." Call Ari while gripping Zahrana's shoulders. "Gear me in the eye... Share a little for the problems you face. Just remember, who's saddest if you're sad, hmm?" Aridiansyah began to understand, at that time Zahrana said a lot just to cover the pain in his heart alone.
Zahrana. A moment of silence, then he sobbed in front of the Aridiansyah.
"I... I'm dying for college, Ri... I wanna..." His cry broke out, making the atmosphere of the beach turn gripping because of the sound of his crying. "But for what if my wish was only burdensome for my parents, Ri? I can't see my mom and dad that hard... I don't want my sisters' school fees and my brother's college tuition to be abandoned just because I'm following my own wishes..." Said Zahrana on the sidelines of his sob.
Ari's riveted. His heart fell on hearing the fate of the girl before him. He pulled Zahrana's head into her chest, then let Zahrana cry out inside.
