Love for Zahra (END)

6. Ignoring

ZAHRAS

Ega drove me home after he told me why he left without saying goodbye. There's actually a lot I want to ask. But, hearing her story made me miss all those questions.

I feel like it means nothing to him anymore. All this time it was just his burden. For six years I expected it. Without news. Yeah, I know he just had a disaster. But I was very disappointed with him.

Tok tok tok tok

After the knocking of the door, I heard the sound of my door opening.

"Sir, mother, he said to go down," Efelin suddenly came in to surprise me.

"Yes" I replied.

After Efelin came out, I also went out. Meet mom in the middle room. I sat next to my mom watching TV.

"Ra," call Mother softly.

"Yes, Bun," I replied.

"Are you okay?" ask him by stroking my head. I rest my head on my mother's shoulders.

"Zahra doesn't know, Bun. Zahra was disappointed," I replied. I don't know why my tears just flow.

"Let's be disappointed, Nduk. But don't drag on. Remember your health yes," mother still rubbed my head.

I didn't answer Mother's words. Only a cry was heard.

"She has a reason, you've heard the story, haven't you? He has lost two very important people in his life. If you feel like his best friend, comfort him."

"But Bun, he hasn't done anything about Zahra all this time, so what's Zahra doing?" I asked for my cry.

"Sir, you're an adult. You can judge what is good in your opinion. Don't cry."

I changed the position of putting my head on your lap. Looking for a safe place to calm my mind.

This morning at the house Zahra had sat two men of the same age. They both have the same goal, which is to send Zahra to the office.. When Zahra came down the stairs, she was surprised that the two men were sitting opposite. One with an unhappy face, and another with a slightly tense face.

Zahra ignored the two people who were silent to each other. I would rather go to the kitchen without greeting them.

"When were they there, Bun?" zahra asked the mother who was accompanying him to breakfast.

"That was a bit earlier, Rio just came. You why didn't you say Rio was picked up by Ega. Kan kasian Rio nya," said mother.

"Zahra didn't ask for a pick-up, Bun. Zahra with Rio. Kasian he's been stuck in here."

"Yes already. Finish your breakfast soon."

Zahra finished her breakfast quickly. After cleaning his tableware, he went out to meet the two men accompanied by his mother.

"Come, Yo," said Zahra ignoring Ega who was also sitting there.

"Well, yes, Ra," asked Ega.

"Just like Rio, I think he's here, '" said Zahra a little sniffy.

Mother stroked her son's shoulders to calm Zahra who was a little emotional. Without repeating his invitation to Rio, Zahra immediately left the middle room.

"Tan, go first," said Rio while greeting his mother Zahra and passing through Ega just like that.

"Yes, be careful not to speed, take care of your brother," said Aunt Ratih, mother of Zahra. Rio caught up with Zahra walking past Ega who was standing slightly closing his path.

"Sir Ega, sorry Zahra yes, you are patient," said Aunty Ratih who now looks at Ega.

"Yes Aunty, gapapa. Maybe Zahra still needs time" replied Ega.

Ega also said goodbye to Aunt Ratih.. He drove his car to get to the office.

This afternoon Rio picked up Zahra in his office. He invited his cousin to meet his girlfriend. After returning from the office Rio immediately drove his car to his girlfriend's boarding house in the Sukun area of Malang city.

"Yes gapapa" Zahra replied, leaning her back against the back of the chair. He closed his eyes feeling tired in the body and mind.

Rio noticed Zahra's slightly pale face. He was quite worried about the health of his cousin.

Ten minutes drive from Zahra office to Zakia kosan. Rio parked his car in front of the spacious boarding house. Zakia is seen waiting for their arrival in a relaxed seat in front of the boarding room.

When Zahra got out of the car, Zakia immediately approached him and hugged him like a woman who met always do cipika cipiki.

"Yuk yuk," Zakia asked with Zahra's hand.

Rio smiled looking at the two of them. She was glad that her sister wanted to be close to her boyfriend. He entered into the boarding of his lover.

"I'm sorry, I have it" Zakia said as she placed a large bottle of fanta and two glasses in front of Zahra and Rio.

"Yes gapapa, Kia," said Zahra smilingly.

"It's a great habit to drink ginian," Rio's nagging.

"Dapet is loved, dear if rejected," replied Zakia ketus.

Zahra smiled as she watched the small debate unfolding before her. He remembered that he also often argued with Ega because of trivial problems. Although they used to be only friendly, but Ega's treatment of him always made him feel special. No wonder he had such a great taste in Ega. And that in the end made him disappointed so deeply.

"Sir, how come? Bosen, can we see how we fight?" ask Zakia suddenly.

"No. I look at you guys, like a cat like a mouse" Zahra replied smiling at Zakia.

"I'm really bad with him. He likes to chat, this can't be blah blah blah bla deh Mbak pokonya," said Zakia without concern for Rio who is beside him.

"She is very dear to you, Kia. His bucin passed him," said Zahra chimed.

"Kayak itself kaga bucin aja, Ra," Rio replied.

"Oiya Mbak, Rio said Mbak had met the same mas Ega yes. How's Ma'am?" ask Zakia ambiguous.

"What's the way, Ki? Rio must have told you the same story, too" replied Zahra looking sad.

"Yes, my feelings mean me. Eh Yang, you go out there first, buy food or snacks like that, I want girls time with Mbak Zahra," Zakia expels to Rio.

The expelled did not bother, this was the purpose of stopping by the place of Zakia. He immediately said goodbye to his two favorite girls.

"You know, ma'am, it must be heavy. I can tell you the same Kia. What is not possible Mbak story to Rio," said Zakia holding Zahra's hand.

"I'm gatau, Kia. It feels very disappointed. I used to expect him back. But after he was here, I felt exactly what he was doing back, in fact when he returned my heart was getting sicker," said that without feeling his tears also flowed.

Zakia, who was holding Zahra's hand, immediately took her in his arms.

"Learn Mbak. It's not wrong to be disappointed with him. What do you want now to fit him here?"

"I want him to understand how disappointed I have been all this time. It's hard to wait for news. But that's impossible. Because he can always show up anytime and anywhere" Zakia replied in between tears.

"Is it possible to feel so disappointed that you will be treated?" ask Zakia.

"Sir, the medicine is disappointed it's sincere. Mbak has a mind like that because Mbak is currently the mind Mbak again complicated. You need to calm down first. I'm sure he won't leave Ma'am again" Zakia rubbed Zahra's back.

"What do I do, Ki?"

"Ikhlas mbak. must always think positive."

Shortly after Zahra's cry subsided. Rio came carrying a lot of snacks and heavy food. Zakia prepared three dishes for their meal.
