If I could reduce your grief, if I could do it.
Zalina who saw the happiness of Ina and Nando made her smile in the hallway of the kitchen wall. He could not get to the room because he was just a kitchen maid, following the rules of the butler was Zalina's duty.
" Let's see people going out, 'yes" Gilang said as he stood beside Zalina with one of his right arms around Zalina's shoulder.
"You.mu!" zalina's voice stammered at Gilang whose face gaze was so close to her face, slightly glaring at her eyes a shocked expression.
" Well, well I know I'm handsome, so don't look around" Nando said with a smile.
" Pede really lo", cried Zalina while releasing the hand Gilang shoulder his shoulder.
" Not pede but real", continued Gilang by continuing to look at Zalina as her hand was released.
" Take me!" whispered Gilang while pulling Zalina's hand out without waiting for Zalina's approval.
" Where are we going? I'm doing a lot of work, if the butler finds out, I can....",
yet Zalina said again Gilang looked back at him for a moment.
" Just for a moment, I asked permission", Zalina could not fight back said Gilang , then he stepped following Gilang from behind and continued to see his hand held by Gilang making his hand become very cold because of nervousness.
" It's up to us" Gilang said as they were in such a beautiful place.
Where there was a flowing river and near the river there was a tree decorated with small lights, Zalina and Gilang stood near the tree which was not far from the cafe of Zalina's workplace.
"Zal lo knows this is the place I like the most ,
where is this place that knows everything about my life" said Gilang with a relaxed stand and the hand he had held he took off for a moment.
" What does that have to do with me?" ask Zalina in confusion.
" Because you're the one I like" Gilang replied, turning his face to Zalina's deep eyes.
" Ohokkkkk.", Zalina's coughing voice made - made in shock then she avoided Gilang's gaze by looking at the scene in front of her.
" I know you must be surprised, but I'm not lying about how I feel"
Now Zalina's heart was like being turned by a windmill, Zalina's hands were trembling with a fine sweaty face, and her cheeks were turning red like red tomatoes.
" Are you crazy? do not say something that will harm others" said Zalina while looking up at the sky.
" If you think I'm a crazy person", then I'm ready to be said to be crazy if I like you" Gilang said, turning his face to look at the scene, Zalina turned to the side looking at Gilang for a while with a wondering mind.
" Care me eat sala what? is he dreaming again?" zalina Inner
" There was no need to stare at her all the time", joking Gilang with a smile and turning to the side again to handcuff Zalina's stolen gaze.
" Whoever looks at you" Zalina continued with a frown.
" Zal", call Gilang.
" hemm", Zalina cleared her throat.
" From tomorrow onwards, I will go to school in the nation's school" Gilang said.
" Yes, I knew from Ina", Zalina said.
" Yes", Zalina replied with a chuckle.
" why did you move?" asked Zalina curiously while looking at Gilang.
"Secret", cuek Gilang back
" hemm. Yes it is", annoyed Zalina.
The atmosphere was silent for a few minutes. And then he spoke again when Gilang asked Zalina something.
" Zal." you never liked someone?"
" Papo", ledek Zalina with a smile.
" I'm serious about it", said Gilang this time to make Zalina do not dwell anymore she fell silent and avoided Gilang's gaze. Who was staring at him. Then Gilang again looked at the stars and the moon in the sky with both hands inserted into his pants.
The atmosphere was silent again with each\ being in their respective minds\-each,
" The person I like is actually near me, the person I miss is next to me, the person I love so much after my father was him. Who is none other than standing with me", whispered Zalina inwardly as she stared at Gilang for a while then looked back at the sky .
" Why silence?"whispered Gilang slowly.
" He was like a shadow that I could see but I couldn't touch, even though he was trying to chase me, but I stepped back, because we were different" Zalina said as she looked at Gilang and him
Gilang who was confused by Zalina's words, frowned and asked again.
" You mean?" ask Gilang.
"I mean that even if I like someone but still he will never be mine" Zalina replied with a look at the sky .
" Who do you like?" exclamation Gilang.
" Po again deh.", Zalina replied with a smile.
" Let me if I'm in love, 'm I like you" exclaimed Gilang back to look seriously at Zalin.
The mood was silent again
Zalina lowered her head
Then he stepped back
" I'll go home first"
"Hugely fast! haven't answered my question either", exclaimed Gilang again.
" I'm doing a lot of work" said Zalina as she walked back home.
" Answer my question first? Gilang continued to ask but Zalina pretended not to hear and continued to step forward.
With the forced Gilang followed Zalina's steps and continued to look at the zalina from behind, with a happy smile on his lips and finally they returned to the cafe.
