Six years have passed since the pledge between them. Aridiansyah goes back to Zahrana to say that she has got a permanent job at a large company. He was so excited for his intention to express his feelings to the girl.
Aridiansyah herself never knew when her feelings of love began to grow. But for him, the feeling was already there when he was new to the meaning of love, togetherness and a relationship.
They were still mute after a while Aridiansyah again tried to string the words in her heart. While Zahrana, he is still waiting for more explanation from Ari.
"I never know when I feel this feeling, Zahra. I thought, I used to just brag for no reason. Trying to follow the heart that at that moment I felt rumbled like a wave there. But that feeling grew bigger and bigger inside my chest. There are a lot of women I met out there, but you're the only one on my mind.
Zahrana was stunned, she was still the same girl, innocent and did not understand what real love was. He also did not answer the words that Ari spoke to him. He preferred to stay still and continue waiting for the beautiful word connection from Aridiansyah who was also able to make his heart feel something different.
Zahrana. His feelings were there, for he had never heard such words before from anyone, and any man. He was too close to himself as the girl in his residence.
"So soon I realized this was not just a longing, but because I loved you, Zahra... For four years I tried to understand my feelings. But still you are the answer to every question I try to understand, until finally I decided to establish a relationship with a student at my campus.
There, I just keep hurting him. Every time we meet, I'll just keep comparing you to him. Set him up to look like you. Every time we talk, I just tell him about you..." Ari chuckled fondly in memory of that before she resumed her story.
"Rigid, right? But I think he's pretty patient. Our relationship lasted for two more years instead, and his brazen me, I did not also realize my mistake as his lover. She is a normal woman who has feelings too.
Our relationship ended without any meaningful moments or memories. But I salute him. She's a good girl, even though she's not like you. He declares me and forgives me when our relationship is over. He also prayed for me, so that I would always be happy.
I was thinking, maybe I would never be happy if I was still trying to be in a relationship with another girl. Because I'm sure you're the story of my life, Zahra... That's why I came to you, and asked you to accept me. We'll make new stories the connections of our old ones..." Aridiansyah said at length expressing her feelings.
"You mean?" Zahrana acted like a girl who really did not understand. To be more precise, he pretended not to understand.
He himself knew that Aridiansyah could still be friends with him because of his stubbornness. Many times his mother was willing not to continue with the zahrana, only his threat as a child made his mother flinch and resigned.
Zahrana still remembered very well when Ari's mother was very angry at that time. Ari's mother saw them together after school. They were still dressed in blue white at the time.
Zahrana who witnessed it herself, was unable to do anything but hear many swear words coming out of Ari's mother's mouth about her family.
"If I don't let Ari play with Zahra, then I have to stop working and accompany Ari at home..." Ari firmly with her face reddened with anger.
Actually Ari is not a dissident child, just that Aridiansyah lacks affection from her parents, so she said so loudly to her mother.
During that time he only knew Zahrana and her family who loved him with love and love. It was from the Zahrana family that he found sincerity.
At the age of one month, Ari was entrusted to Bu Zainab, Zahrana's mother. At that time, Zainab gave birth to Zahrana.
Ardiansyah was cared for by Zainab until she was two, and during that time her biological mother only saw herself occasionally. Sometimes only once a month.
Ari's parents are very busy people. His mother was a career woman and hung out with Elite women. That makes Ari less affectionate and means his feelings for Zahrana are a different feeling.
