Love for Zahra (END)

48. The Candidate-in-Law

"Have you? Let's turn. If you don't want to. I went back by myself" said Ega after they got off the lawn.

"Wait!"

Ignoring Fani who was walking behind him, Ega continued walking past the other invited guests.

Until someone blocked his hand from the side, made him stop and look at the person. By looking around for someone who should be in this place as well if there is Ega here.

"Dear? Kok alone? Where's zahra?" ask Dea, his friend and friend Zahra.

Suddenly Fani holds Ega's arm, arrogantly looking at Dea with a look of disdain.

"Ehm. Sorry, who are you? Kink, Fani. Ega's girl," said Fani reached out to invite Dea to meet.

"Ga? Mean what? Can selasin?" cerca Dea's.

How could he believe it. All he knows is that Ega loves only her best friend. Even though they are still in time to approach again.

"Don't listen to Fani. I can explain, De. Please yeah, don't let him know, please," Ega's pinta.

"He was just my college student. I'll call you later, yes," Ega told Dea.

Damn it he met Dea today. He hoped that the girl could be invited to work together not to tell Zahra.

"You're nothing, Beibh. I'm obviously your fiance!" exclaim Fani who started launching the action.

"You can't be on them!" hiss Ega.

Dea head bobble. Imagine his best friend who has been deceived by the man in front of him.

"I'm disappointed in you, Ga! He said your fiancee. So how is Zahra? Men are not responsible!"

Dea's right hand floated and landed perfectly on Ega's cheek.

"Dee! I can clear everything. You calm down first" pinta Ega.

He held both shoulders of Dea. Resisting the heat on his cheek from his friend's slap.

"No, Ga! I'm really disappointed in you. Especially if Zahra finds out."

"That's a real drama. Who is Zahra? Just so you know, yeah! Ega my fiancee," said Fani with his arrogant style.

He is the one who is making the drama. Dea misunderstands Ega.

Ega rubbed his face rough. He wanted to punch Fani in the face if she was a boy. Fortunately, he was still able to hold himself back.

"You can't be on them!" ega jolt at the snake woman.

They were all the center of attention at the event. Dea is aware of that. Hurry to leave the place.

Before leaving he said to Ega, "I'm disappointed in you."

The girl broke through the crowd. Without saying goodbye to the two brides he immediately came out of the building. He had just arrived at his friend's wedding.

"Dea!" yell someone from behind.

Apparently that person also saw the incident earlier. Evidently he was chasing Dea who was about to leave the show.

"Tante Ratih's? Aunt ..." said Dea cut off.

"Yes. Who has his friend's show Zahra's father," said Aunt Ratih.

"So, did you see that aunt inside?"

Aunt Ratih nodded. Swiping Dea's shoulders affectionately.

"Tante look at the time you slapped Ega. What's up?"

"She, she's cheating on Zahra, Auntie. I can't take it!"

Aunt Ratih smiled. Capturing a misunderstanding between his son's best friend and Ega.

"You wanna come home? Let's listen to Ega's explanation together," asked Aunt Ratih.

"Yes, Aunt." Without rejecting Dea immediately agreed to the invitation of Aunt Ratih. If it is proven that Ega cheated he will make calculations on the man. Because there's no way his best friend can do it alone.

Behind them, Ega was standing with Om Irawan. He could not explain anything to the old man who looked at him questioningly, because the woman who had made the act was still attached to him.

"Come, let's go home" Aunty Ratih asked her husband.

"Le, take your friend home first. I'm waiting for you at home" said Om Irawan firmly.

"Yes, Om. I'll be there soon."

During the journey, the man did not answer a word Fani said. He ignored the woman. Until he arrived in front of the woman's house with words full of emotion Ega told the woman to go down.

"I don't owe you anything anymore. Don't try to bother me. Or you'll be sorry!" threaten Ega before Fani goes down.

As soon as Fani gets out of her car. Very quickly he drove his car to Zahra's parents' house.

Along the way he composed the right words to explain all the events of the night.

At Zahra's parents' house, Dea was sitting in the living room with Aunt Ratih and Om Irawan.

"Can you tell me what you know, Nduk?" aunty Trained Pinta gently to the girl sitting before him.

"So I accidentally met Ega, Auntie. At that time he was taking pictures with the bride, from a distance I kept my attention to make sure. I just entered the building, Auntie. It turns out that's really him. As she passed in front of me, I purposely held her arm. Then there was a woman who had taken the same picture Ega was also there. She introduced herself to me as her fiance."

"Then? Did Ega agree with the woman's words?" tanya Aunty Ratih curious.

"No, Aunt. He said don't believe the same woman said. But I can't believe it, Auntie. He's been living with Zahra for a long time. It's also possible that she has a fiancee."

"I'm emotional, Auntie. I wonder how Zahra would feel if she knew."

Aunty Ratih smiled understandably at her son's friend.

"At first I was also surprised to see Ega with other women. But I don't want to misunderstand. Therefore, we better listen to the explanation later," said Zahra's father.

"At some time, Auntie stayed behind first," said Aunt Ratih to Dea and her husband.

In the living room there was silence because Om Irawan himself was also busy with his thoughts.

He felt disappointed to know the man he hoped to be able to care for and make his son happy turned out to be holding other women outside.

Dea played her phone. I don't know what he's doing.

The sound of a car stopping in front of the house made the two men turn their eyes. Look at the entrance of the house.

"Assalamualaikum," said Ega as soon as he entered the house.

"Waalaikumsalam," answered the two in unison.

"Om," Ega greeted with greeting the father of his heart adoration.

"Sit down, Le," said Om Irawan.

Ega took a seat beside Dea. The girl still looks angry at him. His gaze implied an enormous amount of anger and disappointment.

From inside the house, Aunt Ratih came out carrying a tray containing drinks for all of them. I saw Ega coming. She took a seat next to her husband.

"Tante," greeted Ega with a hand of Aunt Ratih.

"How, Le. Is there something you want to tell us?" ask Om Irawan.

"Om, Auntie, Dea too. Actually it was just a misunderstanding," said Ega paused his sentence for a moment.

"That woman was my friend from college in Singapore. When was the day I asked her to help track down Zahra's whereabouts when she was kidnapped."

"She asked for my reward. In order to find out where Zahra was kidnapped, I finally agreed with her request."

Ega also told everything about the misunderstandings that arise due to Fani's actions.

"Yesterday I told Zahra about Fani, too" the man closed the story.

"Yes. Zahra told me this afternoon, "the response from Aunt Ratih.

"So Aunt knows?" ask Dea.

"Tante only knew Ega was accompanying his friend. It is unexpected that the event we are heading to turns out to be the same. The world is that narrow, yes" continued Aunt Ratih.

"I hope that this kind of event will not happen again. And I ask the two of you not to tell Zahra. Let this problem only we know," said Om Irawan.

"Yes, Om," replied Dea.

"Ga, sorry, yeah. I slapped you earlier," he continued.

"Yes, no papa, De," replied Ega smiling.

"Let's drink first. This cold rush is the drink," asked Aunt Ratih.

The four of them continued their conversation. Discuss other things and forget the events that just happened.

Let it be the secret of the four of them. Without knowing anyone else. Especially the girl they are taking care of her feelings.
