Last Wait

Sewed Gift

Zack walked to the canteen. Today he came to Flo's campus without telling her first.

Zack p.o.v's

I walked down this campus and arrived at the cafeteria where I met Flo the other day. My eyes circled the entire corner of this canteen but still I didn't find Flo here.

My eyes were on a group of students sitting in the corner of the canteen. I approached them. Up there I asked them.

"Sorry bother, can it be?" I asked them.

Hearing my voice they all looked at me. A woman and four men. I was confused to see their eyes. Is there something strange on my face?.

They looked surprised when they saw my face. Oh, my God, I know I'm handsome. But that's not how I see it either.

"Ohh please. What do you want to ask?" Ask a man one of them.

"You know Flora?" Ask again.

"Fw...." Say them simultaneously and with a shocked face. What the hell is wrong with them? Except the man sitting at the corner. He's just plain ordinary. Seems very unconcerned.

"Yes. Did you guys see him?" Ask again.

When the woman among them wanted to answer my question there was someone calling my name.

"Zack!"

I turned my body back. Look at the face of the woman I was looking for. His forehead shriveled looking at me and he stepped closer to me.

"Well, you're here!?" Ketus.

Yes he is like that. I always sniff every time I meet him. Another case with his bodyguard that he will be very soft on him. I don't know why it could be. He and I have no difference. Equally handsome. Only our age is different. But even if Flo acts like that to me, I still love him. Maybe it was my ignorance that made him act like that to me. But now my pranks are less than they used to be.

"Ihhh baby nanyanya musk dikit." I said as I pinched his nose. Yes, I am an officer. But if it's with Flo my pranks will be crushed. As it is now.

"Ck, why are you here?" He asked again, taking my hand away from his nose. He is used to my behavior like this.

"You'll see you." Answer me with a dirty smile. He grunted annoyedly.

"I know! If you don't see me who else you want to meet at this college." Ask annoyed.

Hahaha, that's right too. If I don't see him, who else I want to meet at this college, he's the only one I know.

"Cave kangen you baby." I ruffled his strange hair. Why is she wearing a fake hair like this and again. Honestly, I'm afraid to see it. The kangen? I still miss him. Despite having met but my sense of kangen for 4 years has not been avenged.

"Keep your hands zig-zag your hands stink!" He said ketus then tidied up his strange hair.

Zig-zag, he always calls me with that weird call. It's up to him.

"Gosh lu...

I haven't finished my words yet, he cut them off. This is one of his habits.

"To the point." Briefly talk.

Okay, if it's like this I can't prick it anymore if I don't want my face battered in the making. You need to know he is a karate champion even I am a member lost to him.

Once my hand was broken, yes it was because of my ignorance too. In the end, he apologized and promised not to repeat it.

"There's something that the cave wants to point at you." I said, rolling my eyes at him.

"What?"

"There deh.lu come to the cave ya.." I took his hand to leave immediately.

"Wait for Zack." Prevent Flo.

"What's wrong?" Many confusion.

"I have one more kuiahl eye. It's late afternoon."

Aihh can't. My plan will fail again. Today is her birthday. I have an appointment with Aunt Ambar the mother of Flo's fiancee, Aunt Ambar is Mamah's best friend . But I know how Flo's fiancee looks. Is he as handsome as me? Or worse than me? Haha.

"Ntar afternoon can not be baby bentar kok really. Busy cave ntar afternoon ." I'm looking for an excuse.

For a moment he thought.

Hope Flo wants to.

At first glance I saw from the end of my eyes the student I asked was astonished to see us. Maybe they thought we were lovers arguing.

"Can't Zack.." Decline Flo.

Oh, my God, why can't you??

The magic happened plisss.....

"Fw...." Call someone.

Not a serious cave✌✌

Since when did the cave sound turn into a girl voice.

Flo and I looked back. That sweet lady who wanted to answer my question earlier called Flo.

"What's the matter, Ne??" Flo asked who was walking towards him.

Ne???

His name is Ne

Ne.... Ne what?

"Today the last class of his lecturer was not present. So we're free." Say that sweet woman with a smile.

"Wuuahhh her smile is so sweet. What's his name anyway?". That speech is only in my heart.

And his great lecturer gas is coming. Then my plan will go smoothly. Thank you for God's miracle.

"Benere Ne?" Flo asked in disbelief and was nodded by the sweet chick and a man before her.

Do they know Flo. Seems to know you closely. Might as well.

"That's why the baby lecturer didn't come." I said to Flo but my eyes looked at the sweet girl.

What's his name anyway???

"You have eyes!" Flo rubbed my face with one hand.

Oh, my God, Flo's blocking the beautiful view. I snorted in annoyance.

The girl smiled. It's so sweet... Can I take it home?

"Who is Flo?" Ask the man who nodded his head.

When Flo wanted to talk I cut her words. Never mind let him cut my words.* Satan laugh*.

"Ohh.Known Zack cave. Richard Zack." I thrust my hand at him and was welcomed by him.

"Dave." Speak briefly

Then I turned to the sweet girl. Opportunity doesn't come twice. I put my hand on her she was confused. But finally he welcomed her too.

Uhhh his hands are soft..

"Miss. Neelaretha." He said with that sweet smile.

Oh my God, his name is. I like his name. Not satisfied I shook hands with him suddenly there was a hand that took off our position by force.

Jeez, who the hell is this guy doesn't know if I want a little shaman with Nela.

It's not Flo or Dave.

But that's the guy sitting next to Dave. The man's face was completely unfriendly.

"FUCKER!" Ketus. She why? Is there a problem with him??

"Zack's.." I muttered, still confused by his attitude, and he let go of my hand, and the person next to him stretched out his hand.

"Alexes.." Speaks kindly. He seems to be more friendly than Al..This albert.

Then my gaze turned to a man in the corner next to Nela. His face was expressionless. It's so strange that he. His face wasn't so flat before Flo came.

I thrust my hand at him he welcomed me too but flatly he said his name.

"Axel." Wihhh flatness kebangetan man.

"They're my best friends Zack." Flo said as I removed my hand from the flat man earlier.

It is fitting that they look so close, sahabatan anyway.

"Baby you still have the same debt as the cave." I'm charging Flo's appointment.  He promised to introduce me to his fiancee. What I heard from Ambar's aunt was that she went to college here, too.

"debt. What debts?" Ask confusion. He either forgets or pretends to forget.

I'm pissed off.

"Lu promised to know lu ma gua's fiancee. And the cave nagih your promise." I said with the hand I folded in front of my chest.

Flo's face changed. His body stiffened, he was agitated, worried, noah. I can't describe the look on his face. What's wrong with him? .

"Nggg..mmmm ms..ntar aja deh Zack." Jiahh he's snoring again. Can't be in this barin.

"So. The cave now. You lied to the cave. Lu fiancee but do not know the cave. What if your over bodyguard knows. He must be raging." I said at length. And he just put on his casual face.

"He knows it."

Whahuh? The man over knew about Flo's engagement. And I'm the only one who doesn't know. It's outrageous.

"What's!? Lu really-it's outrageous baby. And now where's your fiancee! Get to know the cave." I said in a serious tone.

"Make what?"

Holy hooch! What kind of question is that. I'm your cousin, of course I deserve to know Flora. Sometimes he catches up too.

"You want a prison cave. Because he dared to take you from the cave." I was caught off guard by his slackness.

Flo rolled her eyes lazily. And for a moment I noticed Flo's friends giving a look of surprise or surprise maybe. It's not the same. Ok forget.

If you keep asking Flo, he won't answer. I better ask these friends who know they know Flo's fiancee.

"Do you know her fiance?" I looked at their faces one by one. They nod their heads together.

"What's her name? Which one is it?" Tanyaku. When Flo's friend whose name it was, if not Albert's fault. Yes, Albert wanted to say something suddenly Flo pulled my hand forcefully.

"Udah come. He said it was afternoon with business." Flo took my hand and left her friends who I believed were still confused.

I could do what if he was like this. I thought before he got angry with me. He is just my cousin. But I love him so much. Since I don't have a sister, I just have that brother that sucks too. I love Flo like a sister who loves her sister. Not only Flo but also my other cousins.

Skippy

Orion caffe

Flo and Zack are sitting in an outdoor cafe. After a few minutes a waiter came with a tray. They haven't ordered anything yet.

"Sorry sir, this is your order." Say the waiter to Zack.

"Oh. Thanks." Zack said as he realized the waiter's presence.

Then the waiter left after putting Zack's order on the table.

Flo, who was still loyal to her phone, was unaware of what was happening before her.

"Fw.." Call Zack. Flo raised his head towards Zack's face and found a genuine smile on Zack's lips.

"Happy birthdays." Zack thrust the tart in front of him to Flo.

Flo was surprised to see that. He can't say anything. His hands shut his open mouth. He even forgot his birthday.

"God. Zacks. What date is it today?" Flo's still in shock.

"Today's your date of birth Flo. Happy 23rd birthday." Zack said with a smile that never faded on his lips.

"A. I forgot Zack. Thanks." Thanks." Flo hugged Zack. He's very happy. A little surprise like this.

Flo let go of his embrace. Then Zack asked him to blow the candles and cut the cake. Flo feeds a piece of cake to Zack. They laugh together.

"There's a gift for you." Zack said in their laughter. Flo's eyes sparkled hearing that.

"Gift! " Said Flo enthusiastically. Zack nodded then he pointed towards the parking lot. There is a motorbike that attracts the most attention from other motorcycles. Flo was more and more surprised to see that.

Mouth's open. His eyes glare.

"i.i that. You mean that bike for me?" Flo asked who still looked unconvinced. It was the bike he dreamed of. But he couldn't afford it yet because his savings weren't enough. If he asks his parents, he will be given it. But Flo doesn't want to bother her parents too much just to fulfill her wish.

"Yes that's a gift for you. From your beloved bodyguard." Zack.

Flo looked at Zack in disbelief.

"Really?" Flo asked and was nodded by Zack.

"That's your birthday present and apologies to you. Because maybe she can't be at your wedding." Zack said at length. Suddenly Flo's happy face turned sad.

"I knew he wouldn't come." Flo muttered which Zack could still hear.

"Udah Flo's. The important thing is that he doesn't forget about you. He promised he'd come home. And there's a cave here that can replace her position." Zack rubbed Flo's hair trying to shake off her cousin's grief. Flo smiled then he looked at Zack with his eyes narrowed.

"Gift from where you are!" Flo's on Zack. Zack just showed the grin of his horse and scratched his non-itchy nape. Flo understands that it's like that.

"Keep that. From childhood, you never gave me a birthday. You stingy!" Flo turned her face and folded her hands in front of her chest. He's lashing.

"Ehh.jangan.jangan dong. Sorry, sorry." Zack apologizes to Flo who was flirting but still ignored Flo. If it was like this he would be confused on how to calm this girl down.

"okay.oke. As an apology. You can ask for anything you want. The cave will love." Persuade Zack to Flo. Hope Flo doesn't sulk anymore. Flo's eyes sparkled again when he heard Flo's words.

Flo thought for a moment. Then her lips curled up a smile.

"OK." Said later. Then he brought his face closer to Zack's ear whispering something.

Zack jumped to hear Flo's request.

"So. No Flo!" Firmly Zack shook his head rejecting Flo's request.

"Yahhhhhhhhhh. Zack you said what a request. I'm just asking for that." Say Flo with her face and put on her puppy eyes.

"Once the cave says no. Stay down Flo!" Zack tightened his jaw. "it's dangerous for you."

"The cave can still take care of you Flo." Said Zack flat.

"You can't take care of me, Zack." Flo dodged with an already irritated face.

"Once the cave says no, still not Flo. Now you go home." Zack stood up from his seat handed over the keys to the bike and left Flo just like that.

Flora p.o.v

Right now I am in a taxi to go to Mamah Ambar's house because Mamah called me to come to his house. I don't know what it's for.

Arriving at Ambar's house I got off the taxi. I see from the outside why it's dark? Is there no one? But why did you ask me to come here.

Without thinking for long I stepped into the gate of the house. At the door I pressed the bell a few times but no one opened it. My hand stretched out pushing the door.

Ehh the door is not in the lock?

I slowly opened the door and entered the house.

Forgive me, is this so dark, right? Is the power down? But there is no way the outside lights are on and other neighboring lights are also on. Why is this house so dark?

Or maybe there are more robbers continue mamah and Axel in the room. Oh my God, is it as true as I thought. Logically the lights in the house are off and the door is open.

Ouch. My heart is beating fast. My mind is not already imagined.

I dare to walk straight ahead. Even though it's dark I can still walk without bumping into something because I remember all the things and things in this house.

I felt like I had reached the middle of the room. I was confused where I should go first. Suddenly the lights came on.

And....

"Surpriseee........" I looked at what happened.

"Happy Birthday Flora.." their voices broke my daydream. I realized what happened.

Here are Mamah Ambar, Nela, Dave, Alex, Albert, and Axel. They gave me a surprise. Mamah came to bring the cake in front of me.

"Happy birthday dear." Speak mamah with a genuine smile.

"I..this is all for Flo?" I asked who was still confused.

"Yes dear."

" happy birthday Flo." Nela hugged me. I returned his embrace.

"Thank you, ma'am." I hugged Mamah Ambar.

They asked me to blow out the candles and cut the cake. Then give the first cut to Axel. Yes as you know. She didn't like it but because mamah looked at her intently she received the cake I gave her but didn't eat it. Yes it's up to him.

Everyone here took turns congratulating me they looked happy but not with Axel. Face grim. But I'm happy right now they're giving me a surprise I didn't expect. Even my friends are here. I'm really happy. But this happiness feels incomplete. I don't know what it is.

My mom and dad also told me. I am so happy that they did not forget.

"Mmm tan kaya we should give space privacy to Flo and Axel talk both." I stared intently at Nela who gave the suggestion she was just showing a row of her white teeth.

"Tan!!!" the sound was like a chorus of Alex, Dave, and Albert. I am so upset with them. They know Axel's attitude towards me. Do they want to kill me by leaving me with Axel. Ohhh No...

Mah.don't mah.I'll die later. Don't plisssss

"You're right too."

Jeez God. My legs are really soft like jelly hearing the mamah decision.

Thank you Lu Flo!

You will mampussss!!!

I glanced at Axel. His jaw hardened withholding emotions.

Protect me God.

That's all I said when they all pulled me and Axel into the side garden by the pool.

"Have fun!!!" What the fuck. Have fun what? There are I suffer here.

They left in giggles. I got to know them once to me. I saw Axel sitting on a white long chair made of iron. I was shaking with all my courage sitting beside him giving a lot of gap between us. My heart beats unbecoming.

Why is this God???

Husshh heart quiet little dong. Just working with me once, pliss.

"What do you want exactly."

Deg

That flat speech came out of his mouth. I dare to look at him.

I need to calm down

Relax Flo...

Calm down....

Breathe in...

Dispose...

Huff was a little relieved.

I show you as usual expressions as possible.

"You mean?" I asked who didn't understand what it meant.

"What is your intention and purpose in getting into the life of the cave family."

Deg

Axel's eyes were fixed to the front he didn't look at me one bit as he spoke.

"A.I don't have any purpose xel." My words are still confused.

"Don't lie!'' He said a ketus and it made me jump in shock.

This Huff can't make me surprised.

"Jawab honest cave Flora." Flat speech.

He pushed me until I was really careless for him. Until I finally answered the question.

"Yes, I have a purpose in getting into your life. Pleased!" I'm firm.

Axel smiled cynically at my answer.

Yes now I do have a purpose which is to protect you Xel. Protect you and your mother from that terror.

"Gua expected it. Want you what?. Money, possessions, titles, luxury cars, or popularity. Tell me. The cave will love you right now. And you can get away from the cave life."

Jlebb

My heart aches hearing that word. Was I comparable to his offer?

"Am I comparable to that?" I asked her without taking my eyes off her.

"Yes! That's pretty comparable to you!"

Hahh strengthen me God.

"Is your hatred so great as I'm Xel?" I asked again with courage. I want to hear everything now.

"Yes the cave hates you! You have destroyed the tranquility of cave life! Lu present in the cave life is a misfortune! Until whenever the cave will still hate you!"

Lord.

Why should I hear those words again. Those words could kill me right now. I'd rather die than hear that again.

Plisss stop this God.

I squeezed the end of my shirt hard so my tears wouldn't fall. My heart hurts so much.

"When will you stop hating me." My voice vibrates. Nope-no. Flo you can't cry. You don't look weak in front of Axel.

I'm powerful.

I'm powerful.

Yes I am strong.

"Until you really get away from the cave life! Maybe if you could the cave would try not to hate you!"

I smiled in my heart.

Might?

If can?

Is that how much he hates me?

"Lu know a lot of women who are more than you who the cave refuses. And look at you now. Gua think you don't deserve a cave."

It's really painful. Really am. There's nothing I can do but squeeze the edge of my shirt. Maybe the tip of my shirt is torn because my squeeze is too strong.

"Just because of how I look?" Ask me with a low tone.

"Not only that. But because the cave loves others. And he can't be replaced by anything! Including you!"

Of love?

Does he love anyone else?

You know my heart how it is now? Let the deep incision wound be sprinkled with salt and acid. Be ill. Bidithy! I cannot describe the shape of my heart right now. I was really devastated to hear his words.

It may be true that we do not know when love is present. But now I'm sure I love her even though she's never been nice to me.

L loved her.

"So the cave beg the same you. Get out of the cave life." Axel looked at me with a gaze begging his hand to hold tightly to my hand.

He begged me to leave him.

Remember he begged.

It seems true that he really did not want me in his life.

An Axel begged. That's very impossible for me. But now you see him begging me.

I honestly want to cry and scream. My tears are at the end of my eyes. But I hold it.

I told you I don't want to look weak.

I exhaled my breath. Pretend strong. But actually. My heart is shapeless.

"Bahhh. I promise I'll leave you." It hurts when I say it.

" But not now. I see our parents are very happy with this match. Let them be happy for a moment. When the time comes I will leave you. I'm going to get out of your life. I pledge. You can keep my promise." I smiled sincerely at him.

Sincere?

Not at all.

A smile that torments me.

If you know the shape of my heart right now. Maybe it can't be helped anymore.

Hancurrrs

Remukkkkk

That's how I feel.

Axel smiled happily.

This time I saw him smiling happily.

Your smile is killing me Xel. You are happy but not with me.

"Thank you."

Did he say thank you?

Thank you for the destruction of my heart?

Thanks Axel.

Axel approaching. He extended his hand. I think he wants to shake my hand as a sign of agreement.

But I got up from sitting.

"It's night. I gotta go home. Be patient." I said with a smile of falsehood.

I left her. I don't want him to be nice to me. Because it would add a deep wound to my heart.

I abandoned. Somehow I don't care anymore. I don't even care about my heart being completely broken when I say I'm leaving it.

Promising our loved ones to leave them is painful.

People say I'm happy to see you happy even if you're not with me it's bullshit it's not true. The proof just by seeing her smile whenever I promised her to leave it hurt me even deeper. He was happy when I left him.

On my birthday, I feel so special. Maybe I'll never forget it. At first I was happy people I loved gave me a surprise. But at the end of the day the person I love gives me deep wounds.

Painful indeed.

But that's the truth.

For the umpteenth time I heard that word.

For the umpteenth time I am not wanted in the lives of those I love.

Am I willing to bear the deepening wounds?
