Love is Not Finished

CHAPTER 46: Love

Me, Bram and Prita are done eating. We talked and laughed for a moment while sipping a drink.

Bram doesn't talk much, just kind of chimed in on my conversation with Prita. Bram picked up his phone and called back.

"Please get everything ready, I'll be there in about an hour and a half" Bram told someone across the street via his phone.

Bram then closed the conversation. Prita and I rushed over the drinks.

"Yes already? We're leaving again? Or do you have other needs?" ask Bram.

"Nothing. But he said he wanted to take me somewhere? So right?" askaku.

"Yes so. Now if there is no need anymore. I went to the receptionist to pay for this meal" Bram said, standing up.

I'm nodding. Prita and I stood up and began to walk towards the outside door of the canteen. Bram paid for the food.

Five minutes later, Bram came to me and Prita. We walk the three of us to the car park.

The car park is not too far from the canteen. So no need to bother walking. The atmosphere this time was a bit awkward, because Prita felt bad to be between me and Bram.

Bram knows Prita's anxiety that sometimes slightly recoils when walking, as if to make room for me and Bram to walk alone. Prita was quite attentive towards me.

"Prita, I will send Atif to the kost at four in the afternoon. As I drove Zanu back to the boarding house, I went home with Atif," Bram said breaking the silence.

"Good Chairman," replied Prita briefly timidly.

I smiled at Prita and walked in her footsteps.

"Zanu, thank you for asking Atif to the Chairman. But I'm ashamed, you know" whispered Prita into my ear.

"It's okay. But you're happy, aren't you...?" I whispered while teasing Prita. Prita nodded and smiled.

We finally arrived at the parking lot. It looks like Bram is heading for a different car than he used to be.

OMG! Is that the latest Mercedes Benz sedan?! Replace again? True what the girls said in the toilet was that Bram was indeed the man.

But it wasn't because he was the one who made me like him. From the beginning I didn't know who Bram really was. I've liked Bram's attitude and the way he's been with me all this time. So, there's no reason why I like Bram because he's dirty. Big no's!

Me, Bram and Prita got in the car. Prita looks surprised to see a Bram car that looks shiny and cool. Prita blinked her eyes at me and I greeted her with just a smile.

Bram's car drove to my boarding house and Prita's.

*******

We finally got to the store. Bram stopped his car on the side of the road.

"Chairman, thank you for bringing me here" said Prita.

"Sama-sama Prita," Bram replied briefly.

"Yuk Zanu, I go first. Be careful on the road," Prita got straight out of the car.

"Oke Prita," I waved through the car window towards Prita.

Prita immediately walked over and entered the boarding house through the side door. Bram's car wasn't running yet, but Bram was calling someone.

"You're this afternoon at four o'clock approaching Prita's boarding house. I want to take Zanu around for a while to PTO, you will go home with me, ", Bram said via his cellphone.

That must be Atif, I murmured. Bram want to take me to PTO? What is that place, huh?

Bram closed the conversation and started running his car to a place I didn't know about.

Why would Bram ask that? Has my attitude been less convincing to Bram? Or does he not believe me?

"Hmmm... I'm happy Brother. It's just that I've been a little uncomfortable with people's eyesight every time I walk with Brother," I replied a little carefully.

"Why indeed? That's your risk of having a guy like me. But it's also true, because of me, you almost wretched from the jealousy of other women. But you don't mind if I want to be close to you?" tanya Bram turned to look at me for a moment while driving.

"No. I don't mind at all," I replied briefly.

"good. You don't care about other people anymore just because I'm approaching you. I would be very jealous if someone else approached you. And that's all I'd think about if it happened,"

I smiled at Bram.

"But Brother, I don't want Brother to be possessive of me. Let me be myself. I need to interact with friends including male friends in the future," I replied firmly.

"Yes, I know that. Soon I finish college and work, automatically we will very rarely meet. Can you be faithful until I come?" ask Bram seriously.

"God willing, brother, if we are a match, we will meet again. I'm not easy to move to another one either. Unless you're already with the others. But it might take a long time for me to move on" I replied.

"But Zanu, I don't want to hear that sentence, if a soul mate must meet, as well as the sentence you threw to Vincent. You are my soul mate and my soul mate must be you!" Bram began to impose his will.

"Lho's? Can't be that, brother. All fate has been set, we can't do what" I replied.

Suddenly Bram stopped his car. I'm shocked!

What's the matter? Did I say something wrong or was Bram angry with me?

I saw Bram sigh and be silent for a moment.

Don't tell me I was told to get Bram out of his car, havehuh...! How'this?

Bram turned his body towards me. He looked at me carefully. I just kept quiet, afraid of being wrong.

"Zanu, was it wrong of me to wish to have you? I know, our soul mate has already arranged. But at least I will always try, for you to be mine. If you want, today I will marry you. But I appreciate your wishes and ideals. Do you know why I'm like this?" bram asked while looking at me deeply.

I could only stare and shake my head a little. I'm afraid of what I'm gonna hear from Bram's mouth. I've been devastated by everything Bram has done.

"Because I love you so much. It's love, I've never loved anyone this great. I never cared about anyone all this time either. And everything I found in you. All this time I got whatever I wanted, just with you I gave up a little bit. And I'm happy to do that. So I'm asking, don't leave me and don't say the word if we're dating you'll meet" Bram said.

Seems great hope from every Bram's speech. I just experienced this in my life and just understood what real love is.

All this time I knew that love was only through fairy tales or novels. But it turns out that this is when I feel it directly, with the person in front of me who is Bram.

Suddenly Bram raised his hand and stroked my hair on the side. He smiled to see me.

"I'm sorry, if my words can make you think far. I don't want to burden you with my wishes. I'm sorry, huh?" ask Bram.

"Yes, it's okay. Oiya, are we going?"

"Yes so dong dear," said Bram while reviving his car.

Whoa! This is the second dear Bram said. It's a little foreign for me to listen to the affection of Bram, but maybe in the future I'm getting used to it.

Bram's face looks happy. I once looked at him and saw Bram smiling every time I saw him.

Bram, teach me to really love you.
