Love for Zahra (END)

46. Two Men

After delivering Zahra back to Aunt Dewi's house, Rio and Ega say goodbye to return to the city. They deliberately did not say goodbye to the girl, and just left a message to Aunt Goddess.

"What else is it?" rio asked as they were on their way.

"When you're in my position, what do you do? Surrender?" reply Ega ask questions.

"Otherwise, if I love him I fight. Women are hard to guess."

"You know for yourself, all this time I was just close to her, even while studying in Singapore, I never dated."

"You serious? There's no way a guy like you who's always been the most wanted never to date," Rio sneered in disbelief.

"For whatever you believe. I'm honest. I have no experience with women other than Zahra. It was just a friend."

"What is your fate. If you really love Zahra, struggle. Om Irawan same Aunt Ratih also approve, right? Just stay to convince my brother."

"I asked for your help to convince him" Pinta Ega.

"Originally you won't let her down."

"I can't promise that. I, you, am not a perfect person. You're asking me not to disappoint your sister. Then, can you do that to your lover yourself?"

"I'll definitely do what's best for him. We're fellow men. Surely you will also do your best for Zakia, won't you?"

"Yes." Yeah."

No more conversations after that. The brands are both busy with their respective minds.

Rio said Ega got to his rented house. On the terrace there is a car parked that makes Ega curious, because he has never seen it.

"Who's there?" ask Rio.

"Don't know. I don't think it's my work car."

"There down. Look first, who knows the loan shark who owed you a debt."

"Whenever I have a debt with a loan shark. That doesn't make sense."

"Yes, you can. It's there! I'm going to go to the bathroom."

The two men finally descended together. Passed through the car and found a woman sitting on the porch seat.

"Fani? Why?" ask Ega so recognize the woman.

"What the hell are you! Any where to? From yesterday I came here you are not here! I never picked up the phone either" the girl grumbled.

"Sorrys. I have an event. It's just coming home, too,"

answer Ega.

"Ga, keys! I can't stand it!" rio ignored them both. Most important now his natural calling was immediately conveyed.

Ega held out the key to her house. Letting his best friend enter his rented house.

"Ga! Buruan, let's get fittings," said Fani.

"Make what? Just want to condition aja any fittings?"

"Yes let couple dong. The time with the clothes is not the same."

"As much as you are, I am tired, just bring the clothes you want here, I just follow" said Ega by entering his house.

"Gee!" fani is abandoned.

"Where are you going back, get the clothes that I want to wear here" said Ega.

"You're upset with me? I've been waiting for you here for almost an hour!"

"I didn't tell you to wait. Your own fault."

Watch out for you, Ega. I will respond your treatment to me, Inner Fani.

Without saying anything the woman left Ega's rented house.

When Rio came back to the front, he did not find anyone there. The car parked in the yard was no longer there.

"Ga!" call Rio to the owner of the house.

"In the room!"

"Where's the girl?"

"Dragon knows."

"Kepo. Why is that girl coming here?"

"Gagging condolences."

"Want to?"

"Forced."

"God! Just as Zahra belom kelar wants to find trouble again."

"I'm not looking for trouble. He asked for a reward for what we were willing to do. And the payoff is that he won't."

"There-there's. The rewards are so. Ask for gold, cake, money, cake, diamond, cake, teak (gecko beast), cake."

"God!! Why did you become**** anyway?" Rio clapped Ega's head that was lying down.

"Ouch! Pain, beg*! Play the tabok!" He rubbed his head which hurt.

"Some people are serious even ask tekek (gecko animals)."

"You're the one who talked. Why talk about tekek (gecko animals)?"

"Or ah! It's hard to talk to people beg*. I love beg*, now more beg* because my brother refused."

"Whatever! Go home! Close the door, don't forget!"

Ega laid himself back on the bed.

"I'm expelled? Okay, fine. We broke up!"

"Rio! Holy hooch! Disgust know, no!"

Rio laughed mockingly. With a quick movement Ega threw a pillow on the man's face and managed to land smoothly according to the target.

"d! Exactly your hit too."

Rio took the dropped pillow. Pick it up and take it out of Ega's room.

"Woy! Where'd my pillow go?"

"Back home!"

"Reverse!" ega shouted from inside the room.

"Pinjem. I'm tired too. Want to sleep in front," Rio replied.

The man carried the pillow he held into the living room, taking his place in the longest currant. Laying sofa pillows for his headboard. While the pillow he brought from inside the room was used as a bolster.

****

In his room Zahra pondered today's events. No, he's not crying. Accompanied by the evening air coming in from the open window of her room, the girl stood facing the trees blown by the wind.

Zahra already knew that the two men who had been staying at Aunt Dewi's house had returned to the city. It was his fault for ignoring them both. Until they come back, they don't care about him.

Regretted? Yes, he regretted what he had experienced today. In the bottom of his heart, he also did not want if Ega had to be with others.

I have to be solid for Ega. I have to give myself and her a chance to start a relationship all over again, her inner self.

The ringing of the cell phone he held scattered his daydream. My beloved mother called him. The plan, today the bundanya and Efelin will move, but until now they have not come.

"Assalamualaikum, Bun," Zahra said.

"Vaalaikumsalam. How is Nduk there? You're all right?"

"Alhamdulillah, healthy, Bun. Mother when dateng? He said today?"

"Sorry, Nduk. Mother did not go there today. Your father still has to attend his co-worker's child engagement invitation."

"Mother coming?"

"Yes. Mother accompany your father tonight."

"Yes, Mother."

"Rio's still there, Nduk?"

"Mother knows Rio's playing here?"

"Yes, Nduk. Have you talked to Ega?"

Zahra did not immediately answer the mother's question. Eyes glazed.

"Why, Nduk?" ask me to worry.

"I'm afraid he's left me again, Bun," said Zahra sobbing.

"Same story Mother. What's up?"

"So I accidentally saw a woman call him, Bun."

"Continue?"

"She said it was the girl who helped her track down where I was when I was kidnapped. Then the girl asks for compensation for her services. What he's asking for isn't money, Bun."

"What did he ask for?"

"Be accompanied by the condo tonight at the wedding of the girl's friend, Bun."

"Then, what are you, Nduk?"

"Not willing, Bun. I had a fight over that issue. I don't feel right, Bun, for him. But I also don't want her to be with another woman. Now Ega's disappointed in me, Bun." Zahra sobbed as she told it.

"He's honest with you. Why didn't you give him a chance? What's wrong, Nduk? Before you lose him a second time. Try to apologize. You deserve him, son."

"Yes, Bun."

"Yes, you rest. Don't forget to help your bulek. Don't stay in the room" the mother said before ending her call.

Zahra digested the advice of her mother. This time he was determined to improve himself and re-open his heart to Ega.
