Love for Zahra (END)

68. Morning Ambiance

Zahra was a little sleepless last night. After a strange gurgle Keyla shows him as he stands in front of a window and inquires about the abandoned building behind the Ega housing complex.

Luckily Keyla said nothing. So Zahra's fear doesn't come to think of scary things.

Zahra awoke when she heard the alarm sound. Exactly at half-five in the morning the digital clock is listed on his phone.

The girl immediately turned off the alarm, afraid to disturb the sleep of the little girl beside her who looked slumbering.

Zahra immediately rushed to the bathroom to fetch water and carry out his duties as a Muslim. When he finished he woke Keyla to pray immediately as well.

As soon as the two of them finished with their activities in the room. Zahra decided to go to the kitchen. Helping a home assistant who usually cooks in the morning.

It turns out that there is already Uti Salma and her mother Keyla who cool in the kitchen both. They look very close. Zahra hopes that if she marries Ega she will be as close as Uti Salma.

"Good morning, I'm sorry I had a bad time" Zahra said to the two men.

"Ndak papa, Nduk. Which one's my granddaughter?" uti Salma also asked Keyla.

"Still in the room, Uti."

"Loh! My daughter's still not awake, is she?" aunty Alifia Keyla's mother.

"Well, Aunt. I was down he was still folding face down" replied Zahra explaining.

"What am I helping you with?" zahra asked the two of them.

"It has. Don't go in the kitchen today. Let Auntie be the only one cooking. Invite your sister to water the plants or herpu in the yard there," orders Aunt Alifia.

"Yes, Aunt. I go out first if so," said the girl.

When he was about to go out to the back garden Zahra passed Ega who had just come down the stairs.

"Where are you going?" asked the man to say hello to his fiancee.

"To the garden, the same aunt was told to water the same plants there," replied Zahra.

"What can you do?" ega asked half mockingly.

"Yes could. Women have to be all-around," replied Zahra.

"Who said?"

"Barusan. Take a shower! You're not working?"

"If there are you, I want to be in the house, just keep you," replied Ega.

"She wanted to marry me. But how males work," grumbled Zahra.

"Your job is also work, dear."

"Uhuk-uhuk-huk. Contaminated my eyes and ears early in the morning see people dating," said the little girl who was behind Ega.

"Satanic kayak just came ngaggetin people," said Ega annoyed at the show teasing Zahra disturbed by her little cousin.

"Ih. I can see demons in the area like demons!" keyla said annoyed with all her might hitting Ega's shoulder.

"Ouch!" ega was in real pain.

"Come, Key. We're going to the park. Your mother told us to water the same flower there," asked Zahra.

"The home cook of a rich man is like Kak Ega there is no gardener," Keyla lamented.

"Enak aja kalo by the way. Many gardeners. That was your mother's order. Let's not be lazy."

"You guys if you meet always just debate each other that is. Udah, Key, let's not ladenin this brother of yours," said Zahra pulled Keyla's hand towards the park to carry out the orders of Aunt Alifia.

After breakfast, before Ega and Papa Adnan left for work, Zahra asked them for permission to return to Tumpang to pick up her sister. Remembering the chat last night, about Keyla wanting Efelin to take a vacation with her.

"No! Later after I work, I anterin," refused Ega.

"And I can take one of your cars, Ga, right, Uti?" Zahra asks for support from Uti Salma.

"It's the same with Ega, Nduk. Or later let Ega alone pick him up directly later after he works. You are at home with Uti," said Uti Salma.

"Later to go home at lunch, we'll pick Efelin up together. You call him," Ega ordered.

"You want another half day? It was half a day yesterday" Zahra said.

"Yes. I'll resign as soon as possible. Looks like Papa's offer is tempting. I can work at any time" Ega told his papa.

All the dining table residents were smiling to see Ega who seemed to really love the girl sitting in front of him.

"Sir Ega bucin yes," Keyla's chirping spread out the slightly tense atmosphere created.

"Key, how to talk to the parents," the mother recalled.

"Yes already. I'm leaving first. Later in the day we pick up Efel," break up Ega final. And Zahra agreed with force.

As promised this morning, that afternoon Zahra and Ega headed for Tumpang to pick up Efelin. They arrived at Zahra's house in the afternoon.

"Mother allows Efelin to participate in your holiday, provided she stays at the house of Aunt Rossa," said the mother when Ega asked for permission.

"Why is that, Mother? In my house there are still many empty rooms that can be occupied by Efel," asked Ega.

"Son, you and Zahra are not married. It is not proper for Zahra and Efelin to stay at your house without parents. Mother allows Zahra to stay in your house because Mother only respects and respects your grandmother. It was also with a deal for only one week," said Bunda Ratih.

"We're villagers, son. All the behavior of our family will always be the spotlight of the neighbors. Today's meeting and Rio will also return to the city. So Mommy asked Efelin to stay at your dating home," he continued.

"Yes, Mother" answered Ega.

After getting permission from Mother Ratih. They visited Rio and Zakia who were at Aunt Dewi's house. The plan is they will return to the city together after Maghrib.

The two men who had not met for a few days were chatting in the courtyard of Aunt Dewi's house. Accompanied by a steaming cup of coffee and a cigarette tucked between Rio's fingers.

"Where? Any progress?" ask Ega.

"Still kayaking yesterday. I confused kudu yok opo," Rio replied.

"Still not accepted? I'm afraid she's pregnant, Yo," said Ega.

"Maybe not. Because at the hospital yesterday the doctor gave him a drug that prevents pregnancy for victims of abuse s*ksu*l. I hope that the medicine is working properly," Rio replied.

"Even if she's pregnant. I don't give a shit. I'm going to keep marrying her and raising her child like my own son" she continued.

"You sure?" ask Ega.

"That's sure. I've never been so sure that I love someone. You know for yourself what I used to be. With Zakia I stopped exploring women."

"I remember you when you were in High School, you were the number one female heartbreaker."

"May he accept your proposal immediately. Let's get married together, " continued Ega.

"Has Zahra accepted your proposal?" ask Rio.

"Have dong," answered Ega proudly.

"Have her parents come to your house?"

"Yet. Why?"

"Don't be proud, bro. There are two possibilities when female parents are on the male side."

"What are two possibilities?"

"Accept your proposal or reject it. Although at the beginning the women seem to accept, not necessarily the next as well as that. There are times when the human heart changes direction," Rio replied steadily and seriously.

Rio's words then made Ega a dilemma and was struck by fear. Afraid of rejecting Zahra's proposal.
