Zalfa Aristya Az-zahira is his full name. Now his busy life is to take care of his mother and become an English teacher in the city of M. Zalfa was born as the only child of Mama and her father named Father. Fariz with Ambar's mother wati.
His father was a state servant but one year ago his father was declared dead in his duty to safeguard the sovereignty of his beloved NKRI. It has been running for more than a year Zalfa and his mother live independently together in the city of M. In a house of her Papa's relics for the two of them.
The sudden departure of his father made his mother very sad. Until in the end his mother was declared to have kidney failure which one of the triggers was the high blood pressure of the mother who was quite severe after the departure of her Papa. So doctors recommend to do dialysis every two weeks in the largest and most famous hospital in the city of S.
For the treatment of his mother they used some of his Papa's pension and the inheritance of his Papa. Because what Zalfa knew was that his father was indeed inhabited by many legacies from his ancestors. However, that did not make Zalfa a spoiled child and rested on the inheritance.
Losing Papa's figure makes Zalfa who has grown up to become an independent child. And lucky Zalfa can be an English teacher at one of the schools in the city of M. From there Zalfa busied himself. In addition, he was also busy with a very extraordinary responsibility for Zalfa that is to take care and pay attention to the Mama.
Zalfa uses his time as busy as possible with various activities that can make him forget the figure of his Papa.
Because he must be strong and tough so that the mother can also be strong and tough. His life with the Mama must continue to run even though now they only live alone.
Zalfa felt grateful that the kidney failure suffered by his mother was not too severe. So that the treatment can be with drugs and dialysis. In addition, by applying a healthy lifestyle and controlling diseases that can increase the risk of chronic kidney failure.
At this time, Zalfa clasped his mother's hand tightly as well as the Mama's. They smiled at each other and gave each other strength and protection and looked at each other with deep gazes.
"Ma, Mama is the only person Zalfa has right now."
"Zalfa wants Mama to be with Zalfa until old Zalfa."
"Well, old darling!"
"Mrs ..." Zalfa was not happy because he was serious but his mother was joking.
"Yes dear yes." replied his mother that he would live with Zalfa until Zalfa married and old later.
Zalfa opened the medicine to Mama and said, "This is Ma, Mama's taking Mama's medicine!" Giving medicine to her mother.
After that Zalfa also offered water for her mother to drink.
Mama Zalfa receives water in L*Min*ral* packaging*. For a moment his gaze was focused on a ring that was still circular on the ring finger to the left of Zalfa's hand.
"Zalfa?" Mama Zalfa held Zalfa's hand and held the circular ring.
Zalfa quickly pulled out and hid his hand.
"Why Zalfa? Wh why? Why are you still wearing that ring? Didn't Edo betray you by marrying another woman?"
"Ma ..." Zalfa in a pretty purplish voice, "I'm sorry Zalfa Ma! Zalfa has not completely forgotten Edo. So Zalfa still wears this ring."
"If you haven't forgotten Edo, why do you think all men are evil Zalfa?"
"That's because Zalfa's a reflex. Anybody willing to offer Zalfa help remember Edo Ma's face, Zalfa remembers Edo's kindness, the love Edo once gave but, the love Edo had given Zalfa. So Zalfa's emotions are Ma's, but Zalfa hasn't completely forgotten Edo."
"Oh sorry Mama can't understand you completely dear."
"No problem Ma!" Zalfa calmed her mother and then she removed the ring from her ring finger.
And to Zalfa's surprise, he dropped the ring and let it go somewhere.
The look on her face seemed to imply a question, what did Zalfa do? Why would he take off and drop a ring that meant enough to Zalfa just like that?
"Ma it's time for Zalfa to take the ring off. So it doesn't matter. Mama's question makes Zalfa aware that it is time for Zalfa to live without a shadow of Zalfa's past. Therefore Zalfa let go of what Zalfa should have left yesterday."
The eyes of happy sad haru mixed into one on the netra of the two women. There is nothing better than giving support and strength to each other. Convincing as long as they were together would all be fine.
...----------------...
The sparkling light of night lights that sometimes change with shady trees that grow around the road accompany the journey during the train ride.
Dimas sat back in his place after doing his chores. In the silence of the night glittering city lights that appear from a distance on the window of his seat. Interspersed with the distinctive sound of the car adds to the martyrdom of the night.
In his silence Dimas thought of the words of the Mama who always urged him to get married while he did not want to get married before there was a woman who was able to shake his heart.
And what happened to him today? The woman he initially called strange and fierce and wanted to avoid, so quickly with just a smile and a soft voice was able to shake his heart right then and there.
"Oh no Dimas, what happened to you?" Dimas cursed himself. Then look back towards the back. Given the woman's whereabouts. And Dimas was even as comfortable as his own smile.
A mysterious smile was implied to Dimas. Dimas plans to find out more about the woman. But..wait a minute! How-to? Instantly he exhaled his breath violently.
And without feeling a few hours had passed and the train that Zalfa was riding with his mother had arrived at the last station on the route of the train journey.
Still in the car.
Zalfa and his mother packed up and took his things.
Dimas walked back down one by one the doors in the carriage. Until he saw Zalfa and his mother moving from her seat on the train. At that moment Dimas had an idea to help bring Zalfa and Mama's luggage. Unfortunately a few minutes later, Zalfa and his mother had left his place.
In his heart Dimas again regretted because why he did not move faster. And just like before he could only exhale violently.
As Dimas was about to walk away from the seat of Zalfa and his mother, Dimas accidentally discovered something not far from the place. Dimas found a ring.
He took the ring and looked well. And a name appeared on the ring "Edo and Zalfa".
It is no mistake that Dimas believed this was the woman's ring because Dimas remembered that the woman's mother had called her "Zalfa".
Dimas seemed devastated to see the name on the ring. But he did not want to give up and was sad at that moment. If the ring had come off her finger, the woman named Zalfa would have searched and taken it back. Especially if it's a wedding ring or something. Firir Dimas's.
One, two, three there was no sign that the woman had returned to the carriage to pick up the small but precious item.
Without thinking for long Dimas quickened his pace. He got out of the car looking for the whereabouts of Zalfa and his mother. Dimas follows his instincts, which is why Dimas wants to return the ring to Zalfa. Although there was a slight pain in his heart.
After circling the station here and there, Dimas also found someone he was looking for.
"Wait Zalfa!" yelled Dimas closer towards Zalfa and his Mama who will soon ride Grab.
"Princere?" Zalfa and his mother were quite astonished by the figure calling out and standing right in front of them at this moment.
Without further ado and long wait, Dimas showed the ring he found beside their seat to them.
"This is your ring, right? I accidentally found it next to your seat and your Mama." Dimas.
Zalfa smiled and chuckled because of what Dimas was currently doing.
Dimas was even confused by Zalfa's behavior instead of being happy but instead laughed and did not want to take the ring from his hand.
Seeing the expression of the conductor sir, it clearly made Zalfa not bear because it had made him even more confused. Zalfa explains what he did to the ring.
"Finally thank you for your goodwill in returning this ring to me. But the ring was deliberately thrown away because it was appropriate to throw it away."
Dimas is confused. How he was not confused because he did not know about Zalfa's life. Aye?
"Emm .. Come on, sir! You can throw it back because the ring was just a bad past for me."
Well Dimas understood now that it was a fairly bitter past ring for Zalfa. But can Dimas now know what the past is like?
"Sorry sir we have to leave immediately because Grab we have been waiting for us since then" said Zalfa sitting in the passenger seat while his mother was sitting in the front seat beside the driver.
"My daughter is still alone, if you are a good man and responsible according to your profession. Fight it! May fate bring you back together!" Mama Zalfa said without Zalfa's knowledge from the car's open glass.
Dimas was relieved to hear Mama Zalfa's words. And his heart did not sting again at that moment. There were only flowers blooming in his heart. Has he fallen in love? Ah yes, it feels like he is in love.
Happy dimas. He observed the ring carefully and then put it in his pocket. With reason perhaps someday, when he met Zalfa he could approach Zalfa by reason of the ring. After that, he immediately rushed back.
"Sir Dimas, where have you been?" ask one of the crew who served with him, as soon as they found Dimas who was so hasty. Strange to think one of the crew, because it is not usual Mr. Domas Adityama Putra Wijaya as this in charge. Would like sir. Dimas is a very disciplined person.
"There is a sudden affair" said Dimas casually.
Who gave the question increasingly frowned feeling distrustful with what was said by his Dimas sir.
"You don't believe me?" tanya Dimas saw the expression of the crew earlier.
The crew reflex shook its head. Making Dimas feel like he had to give an answer like what else, it could not feel like he was telling the truth had happened right now.
"Here you go, just trust me! Because it'll be better for you."
"How come, sir?"
"How come? Emm... So-so with you believing in me it will make you better because you don't have to think about what you shouldn't think."
"That's because I don't want you to be burdened thinking about my business. Just think about your business that you should be thinking about and you figure out a way out!"
"Hemm if this is the case I can only nod obediently to you, sir." Dimas also grabbed the shoulder of the crew.
