Love for Zahra (END)

98. Little Sweet Memories

Ega brought Zahra into his room. Makes the girl wonder. Because it was the first time the man who had become his fiancee had invited him into his room.

He has stayed in this big house several times. Even though he had never set foot into his fiancee's room. The trauma of being in a room with a man still lingers in his memory. That's also what makes Ega dare not invite his fiancee only two in one room.

"Why did you bring me here?" ask the girl.

"I want you to accompany me tonight" replied the man holding Zahra's shoulder.

The girl shook her head at the sign of not being able to hear what the man in front of her was saying.

Ega picked up his phone and typed what he had said before.

"Should it be in the room?" asked Zahra doubtfully.

Because outside they'll be annoying.

Write the man on his cell phone screen.

"Surely they'll talk about us who don't-not if we're both in the room."

Just today. I want you to be here with me. I was scared when I woke up you also left me.

The man's gaze really made anyone who saw it will feel pain. Zahra was powerless to refuse her fiance's request.

"I'm not going anywhere. I'll be here waiting for you. With you," said the girl smilingly giving her fiance a boost.

Thanks, Honey.

"Clean yourself. I'll wait here."

The man nodded. Before he went to the bathroom, he took the time to hold tightly to the girl in front of him.

"Don't go" the man whispered, knowing that Zahra couldn't hear.

"Hand," Zahra commanded as soon as Ega took off her embrace.

With a heavy heart Ega left Zahra. Go to the bathroom to clean himself up.

Zahra observed the atmosphere of the white and gray room. The walls are attached to many photos together with the owner of the room. From them small to them SMK.

One by one the memories of the moment the photo was taken popped into his head. For a moment he was nostalgic for a few years. Where he begins to understand that his feelings for Ega are more than just friends.

Zahra was still focused on the photos. He saw also on the nightstand there is a photo of him and Ega was sitting on a tree that many branches. The girl remembered. The photo was taken a few days before the national exam. He joined Ega to go to a water source located in a village far enough from the city. Ega forced him to climb a tree that had many branches. And from under one of their friends took that photo.

It was the last time he went to play with Ega. Before the man disappeared without news after the national exam.

"Honey," call Ega by gently patting Zahra's shoulder.

"Astaghfirullah." He was surprised at the arrival of Ega who had changed clothes and looked fresher.

"You surprised me. Rest up. I will accompany you" he said.

Ega led Zahra to his large bed. He sat his fiancee on the edge of the bed.

"Sleep with me" asked the man. Zahra noticed the movement of Ega's lips trying to guess what the man was saying.

The sight made Ega misinterpret his girl's view. He looked back at Zahra's face that looked adorable and teased her as a man.

"Gee, don't be like this" pinta Zahra.

With a face that weld Ega back closer his face almost in contact with Zahra's lips. The warm roar of breath both hit each other. Arousing a laughable tickle in the belly of Zahra.

Once again, Ega fused her lips with Zahra. Without rejection the girl received the kiss given to her.

It did not feel like their kissing was getting deeper. With one of his hands Ega pushed the nape of Zahra to deepen their kiss.

With that kiss, Ega channeled her sadness. Trying to find a belief from Zahra that the girl will not leave him.

The kiss continued for quite a while. Every now and then they let go of her pagutan to take a breath. Not long ago Ega reunited their lips.

...****************...

Papa Adnan's funeral procession has been completed. One by one the mourners left the cemetery. There remains Ega who is still loyal squatting next to a headstone that reads the name of the person he loved the most.

There were no words spoken from the grieving man's lips. His eyes flashed a sadness that he could no longer describe.

"Come, Son. Your father has calmed down there," said Irawan's father patting his son-in-law on the shoulder.

"Attent, Dad. I want to accompany papa here," replied the man fixedly looking at the tombstone before him.

"Father same Mother first is not papa. I want to accompany Ega here in a moment," said Zahra standing over to his mother.

Both her parents nodded. They told the two of them to return home immediately.

After confirming her parents' orders, Zahra crouched down next to Ega. Swiping the man's shoulders to provide encouragement and support.

"Why did they all leave me, Ra? Are you also going to leave me after this?" ask Ega lirih.

I didn't hear what the man beside me said. It made the girl not dare to say a word.

"Whatever happens, don't ever leave me, Ra. I beg you," said the man turning his face to his lover.

"You're all I have right now. Don't you go, Ra."

Zahra just smiled and nodded her head. Even though he did not understand what Ega said. He still could not read the man's lips to find out what he was saying.

"Come on. We've been here a long time. Papa Adnan is calm there. He must have met your mother and your sister, too" Zahra asked.

Slowly Zahra stood up, extending her hand to the man who had not yet moved from his place.

Ega received his girl's hand. Clutching tightly to Zahra's fingers. The two of them walked out of the cemetery.

At the end of the road, there was one person who had noticed the two of them. From the look on his face he really did not like the closeness of the two of them.

In his head he had devised various plans to separate the two.

"However they should part ways," the person stared cynically at Zahra and Ega who were slowly moving away from the burial area.

"If I can't get Ega, he won't be able to have it. Especially with his condition being flawed like that," he murmured again.

"Let's see how much longer you'll be on Ega's side."
