Let Time

The Part 16

Happy Reading's...

Zara is now alone in the park next to the Arkan family home.  Zara's mind floated in view of every change that had happened to Arkan. Zara recalls their last time at the hospital.

Flashback..

At that time Zara was alone guarding Arkan.

"Mas Zara came out for a second" said zara.

"Where are you going?" ask Arkan.

"Zara wants to buy fruit for a while afraid that there will be someone who will look good, it will not be good if there is no treat" said Zara.

"But just for a minute."

"Not to act like a possessive husband. Zara knows she can't find Zara. Yaudah Zara came out" said Zara, kissing Arkan's hand.

Zara left the room longer because she had a conversation with the sisters about Arkan's condition. When I got to the door, I sayup Zara heard a chat between Arkan and a man from inside the room. At first Zara wanted to go straight in, only Zara was more interested in listening to their silent chatter. As a result Zara was just staring at the door.

"Kan, I've met with Almira" said Dirga, who is Arkan's best friend and Arkan's secretary in the office.

"Well where?" ask Arkan in shock. 

"It was not intentional yesterday when he represented you meeting at the Abc Resto" replied Dirga.

"Keep you guys talking?"

"I didn't just meet on purpose." Arkan nodded his head. There was a moment of silence between Arkan and Dirga while Zara was still faithfully standing at the door waiting for how the two friends continued chatting.

"You what about Zara? Have you started loving Zara? " ask Dirga.

"Hm Zara's good, she's so good. Instead I feel bad if I don't really try to accept him." replied Arkan.

"Huh you mean, you're still not sure full of Zara? Keep the attitude that you showed Zara at the end of this is the sign of what? I think you're starting to fall in love with Zara."

"That's all I do because of my responsibilities as a husband. As a husband, I should treat my wife well. That's what I'm applying."

"So it's all because of the burden of responsibility?" dirga looked at Arkan seriously.

"Yes, you might say so. Forgetting is hard. I tried but there's no guarantee my efforts will be made."

"That brash you're Arkan. I remind you that you don't love Zara yet. No need to be too sweet. Zara is a woman, who plays in her is a feeling. If Zara thinks all our treatment is sincere and Zara is really in love with you. But then he knew that if your attitude was a lie, wouldn't he be ruined? Please Arkan be wise in attitude." said Dirga very seriously. Now both are equally silent and Zara who is still behind the door is increasingly powerless to hold back her tears. It turns out that all this time Zara was afraid that had been the basis of Zara's doubts on Arkan really happened. Arkan wasn't really trying. Arkan only considers Zara a burden of responsibility. Arkan's good treatment of Zara all this time was only on the basis of not feeling well. Enough is enough Zara can no longer be there. Zara went away from Arkan's treatment room. While there the chat between the two friends is still going on.

Flashback...

"What are you doing?" arkan's question awakens Zara from her daydream. I don't know since when Arkan has been near Zara.

"No." Zara replied without looking at Arkan. But Arkan had a glimpse if Zara rubbed her eyes.

"You crying?" ask Arkan. Zara just shook her head.

"I hurt you?" ask Arkan again. Zara just shook her head. Because in Zara's mind, none of this would hurt if Zara didn't hope.

"Talk to me Zara why are you?" ask Arkan again.

"Zara is okay. I just recovered why not rest anyway" said Zara trying to neutralize her condition.

"I cannot rest without you beside me. I am used to your presence. You have to take responsibility for it all" Arkan said confidently. Zara only showed a forced smile.

'Until when will you keep lying to cover up another lie?' ask Zara in her heart.

"Yaudah go to the room first. Zara had to prepare lunch and medicine for mas first" Zara said. Zara is actually lazy to get close to Arkan. But how else is the condition of Arkan is in need of Zara.

Arkan obeys Zara, he returns to the room while Zara goes to the kitchen to get food for Arkan.

Arkan really took advantage of the situation. His physique was not as weak as before but he dodged it when Zara told him to eat by himself. For the sake of nutrients that enter the body Arkan, Zara succumbed to feed Arkan. Because Zara wanted Arkan to heal so quickly that he would no longer need to be close to Arkan or possibly leave Arkan.

"Why are you keeping me quiet?" ask Arkan when he finishes eating. Because he felt from earlier Zara silenced him.

"Mas again eat. Young children also know that eating is not allowed while talking." replied Zara.

"The one who ate me. But why are you silent?" ask Arkan.

"This is Zara speaking." replied Zara casually.

"It's because I started it" Arkan said.

"I know you're not okay. Please explain to me why? I'm not a fool who doesn't know that you cried yourself. You have avoided me. You have silenced me from now on. You why? I made a mistake? I hurt you? Please explain Zara don't make me guess." said Arkan, who began to get emotional.

"Udah yes. I can't think much of it to heal quickly" Zara said as she got up from her seat.

"Zara wants to clean up the former mas meal" said Zara while showing the plate in her hand.

"Mending now mas break."

"Not that I told you I can't rest without you beside me" Arkan said. Zara was silent but honestly her heart ached hearing Arkan say so. Because what Zara knows about Arkan isn't real. Zara knows it's just a lie that Arkan is plotting.

"Jaudah yes. Mas wait for Zara to finish this first." said Zara gave up and chose to follow the plot made Arkan, I don't know when.

"You mind?"

"No." answered Zara briefly.

"OK I wait" said Arkan.

Zara went to clean up Arkan's food. In the kitchen Zara deliberately stalling time so as not to immediately enter the room. Zara even prefers to approach Sabiya who is cool playing in the middle room. Zara plays with Sabiya. He forgets Arkan for a moment, he forgets the burden of his mind for a moment.

Arkan who felt too long waiting for Zara he chose to leave the room and overtake Zara. While at the door of the room Arkan passed by the mother and chatted briefly.

"Ma, did you see Zara?"

"Why? Zara in the living room playing with Sabiya?"

"Main with Sabiya?"

"Yes, why the hell? Mostly my brother did mending rest there to the room again just healed too."

"Yes, you want to rest if there's Zara."

"Is mom not wrong? Initially rejected. Now how to be a nempel?" said mama mocked Arkan.

"It's up to mom."

"Haha yes there samperin his wife is good if nempel continues to let mama have another grandchild" said mama while patting Arkan's shoulder.

Arkan stepped slowly down the stairs. His body is still a little weak but still strong to just walk.

"Why are you even here?" ask Arkan when he feels between Zara and Sabiya.

"Eh om Alkan was pummeled? Want to play Biya?" ask Sabiya.

"Om want his aunt Zara's pinjem yes" Arkan told Sabiya.

"No. Aunt Zala Biya puna."

"Tante Zara Om has it" Arkan said

"Biya Om." said Sabiya insistent.

"Not that aunt Zara..."

"It's a shame to have a storm with a child."

"Heem is big."

"Yes you. I've told my friends to rest even here with Sabiya."

"Biya will also play tama aunt Zala."

"Ya Zara Kasian Sabiya plays alone" said Zara alibi.

"Keep you don't mind if I sleep alone hmm?" ask Arkan.

"Not really do anything these days" replied zara casually.

"Oh that. Yaudah let me sleep here so you can do both. Accompany me and accompany Sabiya." Rich Arkan while laying his body on the carpet and putting his head on Zara's thigh.

"Eh don't be here. Yes, I woke up resting in my room" said Zara.

Zara relented, giving Sabiya a slow understanding to let Zara go with Arkan, but Sabiya finally cried and ran to her own room.

"Well cry little boy" said Arkan.

"Mas is more like a child" Zara said as she walked away from Arkan.
