Love for Zahra (END)

23. First Week

One week Ega had made his official trip to Jakarta. During that time he always routinely contact Zahra whenever there is free time. As it is now, the two are exchanging messages.

Zahra was sitting at the dining table of the stall opposite the workshop with Rio and Dimas. The girl ignored the two men who had been watching her.

"Ra, eat first," Rio rebuked.

"Hem," Zahra replied but she kept playing her phone.

"Basar bucin. Eat the love. Kaga will be full," said Rio again.

Dimas himself had not stopped looking at Zahra's face. Paying attention to every move of the girl in front of him and observing the change in expression of his face. Sometimes a smile, a moment turned sullen, a moment more growled. All of that did not go unnoticed by Dimas.

There was a deep pain in Dimas' heart when he saw Zahra's happy face. But what can be done, Zahra is happy with her choice. He will give up his love, bury it deeply, and try to consider it only his friend.

"Woy! This too! Ngeliatin what? Dim!" rio exclaimed the daydreams of Dimas.

"What?" tanya Dimas turned to look at Rio who was sitting in front of him.

"Don't tell me you've been watching Zahra?" accuse Rio.

"Why is that why?"

"Well, look for dead chicks! Kugites too! Someone else has it!" Rio warned Dimas who was ignored by his friend.

"What are you guys doing anyway? Haven't eaten yet? Behind yuk?" said Zahra watching the two men in front of her.

The three of them stood up, leaving the shop. Zahra flanked the two men to her left right while crossing the highway.

Zahra returned to her room to continue her work. While Rio and Dimas serve new customers.

In his room, he was making viedo calls with Syifa and Alia. Zahra's friends at the company where she worked first.

"R. Bian nanyain you keep loh, he has a relationship you ga?" ask Alia across there. Next to Alia was Syifa who was having lunch.

"He used to chat me in WA. But I never reply," replied Zahra

He placed his phone next to a pile of books so that his phone could stand without having to be held.

"Kasian knows, Ra. He can't move on from you, '" said Alia again and embraced by Syifa.

"And you like him, Al. Yes, try to get it" replied Zahra.

"It's that easy, Ra. You know, he never looked at me the way he looked at you."

"Don't be so sad, Al. You haven't tried it yet, have to be upbeat. Alia who is cheerful ga pantes deh if sad that," said Zahra to encourage his friend.

Syifa who finished with her lunch joined in the chat Zahra and Alia. The three girls did not talk about much because the rest hours were both over.

Zahra resumed her activities. Not much work done today. And that bored him. He chose to play games on his phone while filling the boredom. But it didn't last long.

Finally he decided to leave his room. Seeing Rio employees working. Some are washing cars or motorcycles, some are repairing cars. Indeed, this Rio workshop can be said to be very large. It has several branches in Malang area.

After dinner, Zahra decided to go into her room. He hastily picked up his phone that was charging his battery. He unplugged the charge cable from the plug, because the phone was fully charged.

Checking the messaging app. But it turns out he had to swallow disappointment because there was not a single message from Ega. He took a deep breath, exhaling slowly to calm himself.

He might still be busy. So unable to contact me, Zahra said to herself to strengthen her body and mind.

He opened some incoming messages in his chat room. Replying to a message from Niena and Dea, the rest was just left.

Until midnight Zahra was still waiting for a message from Ega. Yesterday night they even had a short video call. But even today afternoon Ega did not preach it. This made his mind unsettled and return anxious.

Finally, he sent a message first. It typed in a few words that were appropriate to send to Ega. But he finally abandoned his intentions. Removing the words he wrote.

It turns to the story. He chose to write the words there as his status.

should we wait again?

I'm tired of waiting.

Before long there were several incoming messages commenting on the status he made.

Niena: positive thingking, Ra. There rest.

Bian: why are you Ra?

Go Rio2: Don't mind much Ra. He's working again.

Dea: ulu ulu . who is kangen. Jan nething, Say. He's working no more mute thinking.

There are many more messages coming in after that. With no intention of replying, he put his phone on the bed.

The girl laid her body. Facing the ceiling of his room. He began to remember events when he was in elementary school.

At that time Zahra was studying two-wheeled bicycles. Because he was afraid of falling, little Zahra did not want to ride his bike. He chose to push his bike to follow Ega who had been able to bike. But suddenly Ega stopped his little bike when he saw Zahra running to lead the bike.

Little Ega parked his bike carelessly and approached little Zahra. He told Zahra to ride the bonfire on her bike and Ega to ride it. They both laughed together playing a bicycle flashing around the complex of his house.

Zahra smiled remembering her childhood with Ega. He misses times like that. Could it be that at this time he could feel the beauty of playing a bicycle together with Ega?

It was very desirable for the girl to repeat the times where she always laughed with Ega.

Zahra fell asleep imagining her childhood. The girl slept hugging her roll. Entering the dreamland waiting for him.
