Love is Not Finished

CHAPTER 136: The Star

Mami let go of her embrace and wiped away the tears.

"Zanu, Bram won't be wrong. Because Mami knows how Bram is, he's not careless in deciding things. Decide to be with you, love you and want you. We, as parents, apologize to you Zanu, if Bram doesn't make it. Hopefully you understand the situation and can forget about Bram" said Mami.

"Yes Mi, Zanu has been reminded by Bram before. Whatever happens, Zanu is sure he'll come back," I don't know why that line just came out of my lips.

"Are you sure Zanu? The problem is not that easy, but Mami hopes Bram can solve it. Now let's go inside, Bram and Papi must be waiting," Mami asked while holding my hand.

I nodded and followed Mami into the middle room. Bram looked at me with a happy feeling, maybe he didn't expect Mami to hold my hand.

"We have spoken from heart to heart, it turns out you did not choose Bram wrong," said Mami sumringah.

Bram smiled at her mother's praise.

"Mi, Pi, I want to take Zanu for a little while to the back garden. It's okay, we'll stay a while?" ask Bram.

"Please son," Papi and Mami answered almost simultaneously.

Bram pulled my hand into the back garden. He looked so happy and stroked my hair.

"Zanu, it's beautiful tonight huh? Although actually tomorrow is the last day we met, but I feel happy to be with you today and meet my parents," said Bram while staring up. It just so happens that tonight a lot of stars are scattered in the sky.

I just kept quiet and looked up at the sky. For some reason, Bram suddenly turned my body in front of him. He touched my lips very gently, as if he was hinting like this and was near me.

I got late in the touch of Bram's lips, but somehow my heart felt sad and without me knowing I was crying. Bram clenched my body tighter and felt his breath begin to stir in my face, as if he did not want to let go.

Instantly, Bram let go of his touch and he bowed before me. Maybe he felt my tears streaming down his lips. His fingers wiped my tears without looking.

"I don't want to see you cry Zanu. Stop crying, I want to see you smile and happy. I'm sorry," said Bram. He still hasn't looked at me.

I endured my sadness and held back my tears as much as possible in order to grant Bram's request. I know, in his deepest heart, he also felt that sadness.

"Sister, I'm not crying anymore, look at me," I lifted Bram's chin up.

Berlahan Bram raised his face, look sad face, but he tried to smile at me.

"Can you not weep for my departure?" ask Bram.

"God willing, Brother,"

"Later, if your rambutan garden is already fruitful, I will come to buy it. As a sign that I'm back, okay,"

"Yes, sister,"

"Zanu, tomorrow morning I'll pick you up. The trial starts at ten, we have breakfast in the cafeteria. After the hearing, accompany me to the cafe and to the factory, yeah,"

"A lot of activities for my sister? Instead of leaving, take a break first," I pity to see Bram endlessly working on all his responsibilities.

"I'm used to it and traveling here and there is also common. I can rest on the plane for hours and the luggage business is already handled. Before leaving, I want everything to be done and the matter of temporary power, must be held by my confidants. Including management in this house," explained Bram.

"Zanu, the one thing I can't finish is you,"

"If no one opens the door, I will bring you here again. Just stay at this house, we can have breakfast with my parents,"

"No, sister, not good at boarding friends. They already knew that I was only out for a while with Brother," I refused Bram's invitation.

"Okay, okay. Let's go inside, say goodbye to Papi Mami first," Bram invited by holding my hand.

Bram and I stepped inside, heading straight for the living room. It looks like Bram's parents are chatting while watching a drama on television.

"Pi, Mami, Zanu want to leave" said Bram.

"Yeah? How soon to go home?" ask Mami. He stood up and approached me.

"Sorry Mami, Zanu can't linger, because there are already hours of arrangement at the boarding house. It's not good for friends to wait" I replied.

"Oke Zanu, actually Papi and Mami hope to linger chatting and gathering with you. But what to say, the time is not possible. Tomorrow, before we leave, you come here first huh,"

"Good Mommy. Zanu went home first Mi, Papi," I greeted both of Bram's parents, this time they welcomed him with pleasure. Mami hugged me tightly and for a moment looked at my face.

Bram and I went out between his parents until the front door was about the size of a gaban. Bram's car was parked in the front yard, saw Mr. Jack get off the wheel.

"Lho, Mr Jack is here, isn't he?" my many.

"Yes. Deliberately called here, because tomorrow he wants me to meet with others," replied Bram.

Jack smiled at me as we passed. On the porch, Bram's parents waved.

Bram and I were in the car about to go to my destination. After waving at old man Bram, the car finally drove out the gate.

*********

The atmosphere on the way was quiet, only the music was heard from the car tape. Bram turned to me every now and then while driving.

A few minutes later, Bram's car arrived at the boarding house. Before I got off, Bram hugged me for a bit. He smelled my forehead and ruffled my bangs.

I went down and waved at Bram. The front door was opened by Siska, fortunately she had not slept. Siska peeked out from behind the door, as if she wanted to know how Bram and I were separated.

Bram started the engine of his car, he returned my hand. The car immediately left me who was silent near the fence. After the car went out of sight, I went inside and closed the gate.

"Zanu, how's the date?" asked Siska who was enthusiastic to know.

"Well, that's how you are. Just like everyone else who is in love" I replied with a sumringah.

"Cieee, must be flowering every day," teased Kak Siska.

I just returned with a smile. If only Siska knew, if tomorrow the last day I met Bram. I don't know when I'll see him again, only God knows.
