Love for Zahra (END)
80. The Disappearance of Zakia
Zahra was alone in the kitchen. Making the mother grumble because the wound on her arm is too much made to move. The wound was not completely dry.
“Mbok yes you are receding, Nduk. That's you, look at your arm, there's more blood on the bandage. Do nothing to be made in his pain. If it continues like this when will it heal? Could your wound leave a mark loh.” Bunda Ratih continued to nag his eldest son.
“I bosen, Bundaaaa,” whine Zahra.
“Sana mending you to your bulek house there, there you can stump pari (keep rice) rather than bosen at home,” proposed Bunda Ratih.
“Ih, hot, Bun. Unwilling. What if I have an item?” reject Zahra.
“Emang why if you item? Don't like that?” ask Mommy Ratih.
“Yes that's not it, Bun. Later I become a kayak village boy dong item dekil gitu.”
“Halah, bother talking to children today. Anything all scared. Moreover, the same thing as the name of sunlight, in fear of overheating, fear of items. Mother first time around your age was to join your mbah to the rice fields, plant rice, this is now kok a child Mother spoiled gini.”
“Different generation, Bun,” replied Zahra.
“Mbaakkk! His HP from earlier the sound continues to be noisy!” efelin shouted from the living room.
“Sana you see first, let Mother continue the cooking,” orders Bunda Ratih.
Zahra washed her hands and left the kitchen. The girl went to her sister who was relaxing in the living room with her cell phone.
“Mbak, later anterin me to the house temen yes,” pinta the little girl.
“Where?” ask Zahra.
“In residential deket market Tumpang.”
“You know what place you still want to find the address first?”
“Udah knows, I've been there. My friend has a big brother, Ma'am.”
“Ya continues? You like?”
“Iya. Very fond. He's a real good-looking guy, Ma'am. Ughh, it looks really cool anyway. Cooler than sister Ega,” babble Efelin.
“Inget! Still first class High School do not date first, let alone the same as the elders.” Zahra advised her sister.
Because of his action listening to the babble of his sister, the girl forgot to see her phone. When the phone rang again then he saar and immediately raised the call.
“Waalaikumsalam, what's up, Yo?” zahra asked the caller who was none other than Rio.
“Mbak, Did you contact yesterday?” rio asked across the street.
“No, he didn't call me two days ago. Last time he chatted I said if you want to take him home, that's all. Why why?”
Zahra carefully listened to Rio's explanation regarding Zakia.
“But a minute, I'm trying to connect him. If I can, I will immediately tell you. He didn't say he wanted to go - go anyway,” said Zarha.
After the phone call ended, the girl searched for Zakia's contact number. He tried to call that number. However, it cannot be contacted at all. When he sends whatsapp messages only tick one.
“Why the hell, Ma'am?” tanya Efelin.
“That, earlier the Rio said that Zakia from yesterday could not be contacted. Yesterday he went home to his parents. Well after that he did not give any news at all to Rio,” replied Zahra was still busy with her phone.
“Terus?”
“Well here he said again at his house Zakia. But no one said. The house is deserted, the neighbors no one knows where the occupants of the house are going. Rio called earlier asked Kia to tell me what I didn't say,” explained Zahra to her sister.
“Terus?”
“Terus?”
“This is me trying to phone him he can't. WA also tick one.”
“Terus?”
“Ya can't be connected.”
“Terus?”
“Gosh! You are kok ngeselin ya! Kejarno! (Keep alone!)”
“Loh, Ma'am! Did I ask, why so sewot anyway?”
Not caring about his sister's ramblings, Zahra tried again to contact Zakia. However, again it still cannot be connected.
”Or Mbak Kia escaped from Kak Rio huh, Mbak?” guess Ebelin.
“You mean?”
“Yes maybe, Ma'am. Mbak Kia back and forth can terror right, it could be the terror ngancam so,” guess Efelin.
“Cooking yes?”
“Yes maybe, Ma'am. Now what is the neror-neror if the goal is not to make Mbak Kia go away Kak Rio? Really not?”
“Yes too yes. How about Rio?”
“Ya phone, Ma'am. I think people have no pulse. The internet can. I have installed WIFI.”
“Ish! That's not what I mean.”
Zahra did the advice of her sister. He tried to contact Rio and convey what he had just talked to Efelin. Although Rio initially did not believe her argument, Zahra tried to make possibilities to support her argument.
From where she sat, Efelin watched her brother speaking seriously. Sometimes he saw his brother's arm wrapped in bandages. Imagine the pain in the wound if at all times used to move.
Indeed, the older sister is classified as a woman who is good at enduring pain. Except for menstrual pain. For that one, Zahra and himself often cry because of the pain.
Back the girl saw her brother who was struggling with his cellphone.
“Where, Mbak?” tannya
“Rio didn't believe it at first. I told him to do something about him telling me what it was about his family. Goods time have a brother out of town or what is it.”
“Iya, Ma'am. I'm gonna take a shower first. This brings me back ya.”
“Task the same mother there. Can I drive? You bring your own motor can't you?”
“Heat, Mbak. Bentaran. Deket. I'll tell you mommy.”
Zahra was still sitting on the living room sofa. His sister passed into his room. Before heading to her room the little girl first approached the mother who was still in the kitchen to ask permission.
With all persuasion, finally the mother allowed the brother to deliver him to his friend's house.
The little girl rushed to Zahra who was still in the living room and told her she could drive her by car.
Zahra did not respond to what her sister said. The focus is only on the phone he is holding because he is exchanging messages with his fiancee. Talk about Zakia's disappearance and how the cousin's sister is doing there. He also asks Ega to help keep his aunt as long as Rio is still busy with the loss of Zakia.
He thought about how the aunt would feel if she knew her favorite daughter-in-law had left without saying goodbye and could not be contacted. And his aunt loved Zakia with all her heart. He is very sad that Zakia has left Rio.
