Love is Not Finished

CHAPTER 153: The Red Light

After walking down the beach, I turned to the road leading to the market and looked for a bendi (horse-drawn carriage).

After finding the bendi and waiting for another passenger for a moment, I saw a familiar figure behind the crowd. And that figure is not alone, there are others who are having a friendly relationship with him.

I don't seem to believe what I see. It was like a dream and it could not happen. I rushed down from the bendi and looked for that figure among the crowd. But I didn't find it.

My chest rumbled and I was in shock. I tried to calm down while holding onto the chest that was still panting. My memories instantly swirled with the story that had been passed along with that figure.

"Mr, careful. Is mbak okay?" someone scolded me from behind. I realized that my body was starting to stagger and fall. Suddenly everything was dark.

*******

"Zanu! Wake up son..,"

I suddenly felt a pat on both cheeks and opened my eyes while looking around.

"Zanu, you're human. Calm down, son," came the voice of my mother who was right next to me.

It turns out I was home. Who brought me here?

"Ma, what's going on?" my many.

"Thank God Zanu was conscious. Someone drove Zanu here, he found you passed out in the market. What's up, son? Is Zanu sick?" mama asked while touching my forehead.

"No Ma. Zanu is fine. Oiya, who was the one who drove Zanu home? Why does he know our house? What kind of person is Ma?" my question is getting more and more. My mind remembered that figure.

"Mama doesn't know who that is. And Mama didn't have time to ask why she knew our house, either" she was confused and realized something was up.

"What's up, Zanu? It could be your friend, right? Maybe he wondered first with people around the market who know where we live. Could be, right?" Mama frowned and thought about it.

Hhmm.., so my mom doesn't know who that guy is. He could be Bram's bodyguard. Because if that figure was the one who drove me home, Mama should have known. Should I shut up first? Why did that figure suddenly appear?

My head started to get dizzy and my heart started to feel sadness. I don't know why that feeling is present?

"Now you rest first" said Mama.

"What time is it Ma? Zanu wants a private drive,"

"Udah, you forget that first, now just rest," Mama ordered.

"No Ma, Zanu must learn to drive. Papa paid and Zanu rarely came home. The old car in the garage. Zanu is fine too, "I feel my body is normal and want to be able to drive a car immediately. All right, I want to find some info on that figure outside.

"Yes, if you insist. Make sure the condition of your body is healthy, Mama does not want to do anything with you. Now get ready, it's ninety-thirty. Private ten o'clock, right?"

"Yes Ma. Zanu get ready first,"

I moved from the bed to the bathroom. While Mama went out of the room to the lower floor.

********

After getting ready, I went downstairs. Coincidentally my private teacher bang Bayu is already in front.

"That's the new Bayu coming. Want to sit on the terrace, Zanu just go right away, yes," said Mama.

"okay Ma. Oiya, Papa and Zuri where is Ma?" my many.

"Papa nganter Zuri les swimming. Somehow the school told students to learn to swim, even though they were willing to go to college. Shouldn't swim it from a small, so be proficient? There's-there," said Mama.

"It's never too late to learn Ma. Yes, Zanu go first Ma, bye," I kiss Mama's cheek and greetings.

By rushing I came out and found Bang Bayu was dumbstruck. He was shocked to see me out. It was as if he was looking at his guilty face. I'm confused as to why he's like that.

"Yok Bang we're leaving. Zanu opened the garage first yes," I said.

"Wear your car?" tanyakanya.

Seen Bang Bayu began to dumbly again, for some reason he looks restless.

Ah, care very much! I just want to be able to drive my car immediately. I'd like to take my car with me at college.

After opening the door, I asked Bayu for help to pull out the car. And then we immediately leave.

Driving is not much we talk about. I focused on following Bayu's direction, a little bit I started to be good at driving.

"Zanu, brother apologized for the behavior of Abang's fiancee. He misunderstood and it was also my fault for lying to him. It should be from this moment that you apologize, but Zanu is not there," Bayu opened the conversation while on his way to the beach.

"Ah Brother, why discuss that again. I also forgot what happened back then" I replied with a smile.

"If you've forgotten, you're still sorry. So keep thinking,"

"Yes, I'm sorry Bang. How's brother's fiancee? When did you marry her?" ask me without further ado.

"Our relationship is broken. He was too much of a set-up and cheated on the back of Brother, "he replied with a sad look.

"Wow, the break-up wasn't due to a big deal, was it?" ask again.

"It has nothing to do with it at all,"

I shut up and refocused on driving. A moment later my car stopped at the speed of the road because the red light was on.

"Oiya, how's your girlfriend Zanu? Is he still angry?"

The deg! I remember Bram again.

"Hhmm.., he's not angry," I replied briefly. I turned my eyes to the side while looking at the stopped vehicle.

"Thank God. Who exactly is Zanu? How many people were there at the time?" ask Bayu again.

Suddenly my vision was turned to a new motorbike stopped right next to my car. Again the figure was with a woman who sat in the back while hugging her waist affectionately.

I watched the figure closely. The saaapp!! It just so happened that he also turned towards me with the same look. There was no expression on his face, only a frown on his forehead indicating that he was looking for an answer.

The green light is on.

The motor turns to the right. Without waiting, I followed the bike.

"Hei Zanu's! Where you going? We should have turned left" Bayu said.

I shut up and started to step on the gas a little. I don't want to lose that figure again. I want to make sure, how he can be present again.

But I felt like something was strange. Why is it that when he sees me, there is no way that he knows me.

"Zanu! Why are you gasping! Slowly Zanu!" The lady started to panic. He was confused as to why I was chasing something.

"Calm Bang, I'm honing my racing skills again" I replied with a hint of jest.

"Yes, but you haven't been able to fully bring the car! Brake now Zanu! Hit brake..!" Bayu increasingly panicked to find the car I was driving fast.

I just shut up. I saw the bike turn left, then turn right. I followed him very carefully as I turned, as only this time I turned in a speeding car.

"Yes.., Zanu! Stop the car, we can get in the ditch!" shout Bayu.

I was focused and thankfully able to get through the turn earlier. The motor turned into the courtyard of a large house. I braked suddenly right across the house.

Ciiitt..!

The sound of the car brakes rang out until the figure looked towards the source of the sound.
