Love for Zahra (END)

49. Embarrassed

The morning sun was embarrassed to show its light. The cold morning dew did not make people feel reluctant to leave the house.

Although the sun has not shown its form perfectly, the residents who work as farmers are ready to work on their rice fields.

In a wood under a cherry tree, sat a girl enjoying the sight. Sometimes he took pictures of farmers at work.

Enjoy the cool morning air in the countryside. Clean without pollution. The cold, bone-piercing air in the sunlight creates a warm sensation in the skin.

After enjoying the beauty of the Almighty's creation, the girl returned home to help her aunt cook.

Last morning, Aunt Dewi invited her again to shop at the village stall next door. However, the girl subtly refused. He does not want to talk when the day repeats.

And just a moment ago he heard his aunt's voice in the kitchen, which indicated he had returned from shopping.

"Bulek, what can I do for you?" ask the girl.

"Please, is that you can cook chicken soy sauce?"

"Can, Bulek."

The girl began to struggle with the chicken. Clean it first, and prepare all the necessary seasonings.

Sometimes the two people throw questions at each other while cooking. Auntie Dewi told me a lot about life in the village. Zahra occasionally chimed in and smiled more often in response.

Zahra looks very dexterous in kitchen affairs. indeed from childhood he was accustomed by the mother to learn to cook. As a provision if later he married does not have to rely on the services of a maid, said the mother.

He basically likes cooking. Since Junior High he often helps his mother when cooking. Sometimes he also experimented on his own making his own food.

The clock on Zahra's phone showed at seven in the morning when she saw it. He immediately brought his food to a simple dining table in one corner of the kitchen.

Unlike the dining table at his home in the city, which was equipped with a dining table and chairs. In this house is just a large table without a chair. The table is old without a model.

A very guarded simplicity in this place. Aunt Dewi said, almost all the objects in this house are the relics of the late grandfather and grandmother Zahra. Only the terrace of the house is deliberately renovated.

That means almost all the objects in this house are older than the age of Zahra itself.

"Sampun, Bulek," said Zahra as soon as he finished serving the dishes he made with his aunt.

(Already, Bulek.)

"Yes, you clean first, after that breakfast together, while waiting for your package to come," replied Aunt Dewi.

The girl washed her hands. Picked up the cell phone he had put on the table and went to the room with his aunt.

"Ndang adus, Nduk. Keep breakfast," said Aunt Dewi.

"Enggeh, Bulek."

(Yes, Bulek.)

In the room he checked several incoming messages. There were a lot of messages from the guy he called last night. He smiled reading some of the messages sent since dawn.

Ega:

Morning, Babe (04.27)

Already awake? (05.36)

Ra (05.00)

Babe (06.41)

He smiled reading it. Soon he typed a reply message at the man.

Zahra:

Morning too's.

I just finished cooking. Sorry just reply. (07.03)

The two blue check marks immediately appear as soon as the message is sent. Shortly thereafter a video call came in from Ega's number.

Zahra did not answer the call. He was nervous. Until finally the ringing of his phone died, making the call status of Ega 'unanswered'.

Again, his phone rang and showed a video call from the same number.

By gathering courage. Push the green button to pick up the call. The fresh face of the handsome man filled the screen of Zahra's phone.

"Old kok?" ega asked as soon as she saw Zahra's face.

"What?" Zahra asked back.

"Thank the phone."

"Sorry."

"Father."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Em, what else?"

"Read more. Take a shower."

"Oh. Cook what?"

"Chicken soy sauce."

"There are stir-fried kale, bakwan maize same tempe fried. But I'm not the one cooking."

"Say he cooked, are you not the one cooking? Lying huh?" goda Ega's on the other end.

"So cooked with a bulek."

"Oh. Yes, there's breakfast."

"She's gonna take a shower first."

"It's a shower there."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Short keep answering. Why the hell?" tanya Ega was running out of questions. Because the girl he called just answered without asking.

"What do you want to answer" Zahra replied at last. He deliberately moved his phone so that it faced the ceiling of his room.

"Snake the roof? Ra?"

"What?"

"Disguised to the roof anyway?" grouse Ega.

"Shame."

"The call from earlier why the shame now? Look, I want to see that embarrassed face like what the hell?" ega Pinta.

"So I want to skip work and continue your nyamperin," continued the man.

"Don't! You work there. It's noon already! You'll be late."

"Conscious to you first dong, only then did I matainin his phone," pinta the man.

"You're a lot of talk right now" said Zahra.

"Just like you, I can say a lot."

"Lied."

"No! Come on dong, honey. I saw the roof, did I?"

Zahra moved her phone back to face him.

"That's dong. People have not taken a shower, either. I've also seen you haven't had a bath" said the man smiling strangely.

"When?" ask Zahra.

"Do you want me to ingetin?"

"You like to lie."

"I ingetin. It was Sunday, I played to your house, just then we met again, you found me wearing clothes sleep less material-"

"Stop! Stopit! Don't remember it anymore. You have a bad mind!"

"What is an ugly mind? I'm just reminding you, '" argued Ega.

"There work. It's noon." He shifted the subject.

"Yes, I'm ready first. I'll go home from work and go there. Take care, yes. Don't get the guy in there."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Ma."

"Hem?"

"Love you."

"I am too."

"It's not romantic. Yes, I was bad luck. Hehe. I'm matthew, dear."

"Yes. Be careful on the road. Don't speed even if it's too late."

"Yes Dear. Adios. See you."

The phone connection was cut off after Ega said goodbye. Just the phone alone has made Zahra pounding and misbehaving herself. What if he met the man in person?

He must prepare himself. Remembering yesterday there was a lot of misunderstanding. Surely the atmosphere will not be the same as when they chat over the phone.

"Sir! Why haven't you left the room?" From outside Zahra's room, her aunt's voice ripped out everything that was in the girl's mind.

"Before a minute, Bulek," the girl replied.

In a hurry he put down his phone and took his toiletries and rushed to open the door.

"Lhoah. Sik gurung adus ta? Yowis kono, batan ndang adus. Paklikmu wes at sarapn iko," said Aunt Dewi when she saw Zahra out carrying toiletries.

(Oh. Still not taking a shower? Yes it's there, the bath hunt. You want that breakfast.)

"Sorry, Bulek. There was a phone call. Bulek sama paklik breakfast first ndak papa. I want to take a shower first" said the girl.

Zahra passed away leaving Aunt Goddess after saying goodbye about to take a bath. The girl immediately headed for the bathroom that was near the kitchen.

He quickly performed his bathing ritual. Because surely her uncle and aunt were waiting for breakfast together.

After a short fifteen-minute shower, Zahra soon joined her uncle and aunt. They only had three breakfasts. Because his uncle and aunt's only child were not at home.

Finished breakfast the girl helped Aunt Dewi clean the cookware and eat. Wash everything and put it back in place.

After that, he said goodbye to go back to the room. With the reason of wanting to contact the mother who said she would move today.
