Longing Curtain
Episode 14



"Today I am happy because what is clear is not because of your presence that comes and goes suddenly"


.


My smile expands when I see the reflection of my face in the mirror. White brocade clothes and moca-colored pasmina have been beautifully attached to my body. Decorations on the head as well as makeup that stand out I have used. Today is my happy day, after three years of high school finally graduation day arrived.


Entering a car parked in the yard. Departing with my parents to attend the student release event. Dad kindly canceled an appointment with his client for the sake of attending my graduation so that the results do not disappoint.


But what I surprised Fahmi brother came to my graduation ceremony. Wearing a black suit as well as shiny shoes as if he was the one who would pass today. His appearance today was so different from usual, looking handsome.


Fahmi's sister reached out to me when she reached the graduation building. Spoiling me like a queen, even though the courtyard of the building is very crowded with people.


I welcomed his hand and got out of the car. But suddenly she clasped my hand as if she were my lover. Got a strange look from my friend who was in the yard I didn't mind. Well, if brother Fahmi forgets to take his medicine.


"Zahra you are so beautiful "Siska is approaching me. I wanted to remove that hand link, but it was getting squeezed even more.


"Had Zahra already brought a guy like "Laila chimed, even though it was my brother Fahmi.


"What the hell, this is a ka-"


"Know Fahmi his girlfriend Zahra "Kak Fahmi reached out his hand asking for an introduction speech. Laila stiffened up how she might believe I had a boyfriend.


I stepped on Fahmi's feet he grimaced in pain, because the high heels that I use are quite pointed ends.


"Why tell my girlfriend's sister?" my whiskey.


"Let no one disturb you. Later if I knew your brother, they would've called me handsome" he replied. I just clicked my brother's lips did have some god-level confidence.


"Yes, who has a boyfriend now talking whispers "I'm looking ahead, Siska is laughing with Laila.


"Never tell us you have a boyfriend? Eh even now directly brought to the graduation ceremony" Siska laughs make me even more to sing lips.


"Big brother, how do you want to be with Zahra?" Laila chimed in with her little bitterness.


"We're engaged, so we've never had a relationship. Is it not, baby?" Brother Fahmi glared naughty. Wanted me to let that be his head when I was called baby.


"I want mi-"


I'm looking ahead. The man in the black suit was standing right in front of me, looking at me in surprise. Maybe Fahri was surprised to see me holding hands with men. I tried to untie the hand, but Fahmi's brother tightened it even more.


"Darling why the hell?" I stared cynically at her, from earlier calling me dear non-stop. Luckily, if I don't throw it in the river.


"Darling?"


Fahri looked at me strangely, while I was just a whimper. He turned to stare towards Fahmi's brother without blinking.


"Jude, we go in first. Afraid to bother you," Laila laughed.


"Review you la!" I shouted but they entered the building first as well as Fahri. While I still join forces with brother Fahmi.


I breathed a sigh of relief because Fahmi no longer held my hand. Why did they leave, Fahmi took it off.


"What the hell brother, you call me darling also disgusted to know!" I stared intently while he was just a crybaby.


"No papa, all of you. The guy I liked was just like you"


"Fahri means?" I knit an eyebrow.


"Yes, from the look in his eyes it was seen that he loved you my sister." Fahmi began to dramatize.


The voice of the host began to tilt the prospective graduation to put themselves each. For now I'm releasing my check from Brother Fahmi.


A series of events have been live. Starting from the celebration, the stage of art, until the entertainment has been displayed. Now it's the turn of the announcement who gets the achievement.


Nervous, tense, afraid kept running through my mind. Waiting for results that are not said. Afraid that the results will disappoint.


"Students with the highest grades and outstanding students fall to ... "


I pray in my heart that my name is called forward, O ALLAH.


"Zahra Anastasia. Please brother Zahra to take the stage. "


My tears can't stop me anymore. The feeling of haru enveloped me, not expecting to get the highest grades while getting the title of outstanding student. Proudly I stepped onto the stage the smile I always lay. This time it was not tears of sadness but tears of happiness.


My smile grew even more when I got a gift from school. The cup, 5 million dollars and flower arrangements are in my hands. Congratulations and applause made me even more happy. Finally my dream was achieved.


"Before thank you to the father of the teacher who has guided me to get to this point and also my friends who always support me. And especially my parents who always pray and give directions, I love you. "


The clear thread drenched my cheeks, the sound of clapping from the people in the building making me even happier. I'm standing here also because of old irang and my very hard work. I was grateful, to be able to see a sincere smile from them.


I went down the stage to my parents' seat and hugged her tightly. All the students and their guardians left the building because all the events had been completed.


Fahmi's sister beside me always floated a smile as well as me. But my steps came to a halt as the line of women blocked my path.


"Sister, can I take a photo?"


"Not good looking, man,"


"Can't I take it home"


"Nobody looks here dong!"


The sound of screaming makes me careless, it turns out they are fascinated with the good looks of my brother. With adlas he serves one by one his fans. Because I was furious I left it and entered the car first, there was already a mother and father waiting.


"Congratulations dear, already dapet the highest value can be a trophy as well," said the mother.


"Still, Bund. It's also thanks to Mother "I hugged her from behind.


"Daddy not in the arms?" I looked up and hugged my father.


This warmth is what I feel. It feels reluctant to let go, I hope everything will remain the same until forever.


"Well, Fahmi late dong "I immediately let go of the hug and looked at Brother Fahmi.


"From where you are, really long "Dad chimed.


"Obviously, Fahmi's fans ask for photos" Fahmi spoke arrogantly.


"Now has become an artist yes sak, in the beginning of the photo "Mother chuckles.


"Yes, Bund. It's right that this mother's child is handsome" Kak Fahmi stroked the end of her hair while smiling sweetly. I just smiled to see it.


The car was traveling at a speed heading out of the building towards the house. I hugged my gift, smilingly staring out the window.


Is this how it feels to be happy?
