LOVE THE CUPU

Chapter-71~A week has passed.

Opening the bedroom window, Khanza was greeted with fresh air. A cold air of dew ambushed, greeting the sense of smell. A teenage girl, now closed her eyes to enjoy the cool atmosphere in the morning blind.

Up there the sunlight sprayed a yellowish light, ready to illuminate the universe. Funneling into the warmth to accompany the life of people who are being dropped into longing. With the advent of the morning, we raise new hope. The birth of bright sun, able to awaken a soul in a quiet environment.

Sighing deeply, Khanza wanted to end his nightmare. Trying to accept reality and restart a life that was delayed in a week. A week the friend had left, a week also Khanza did not stop alone in his room. Only go out for breakfast, noon and night.

Arif setiap hari menjenguk sang kekasih. Namun, selalu di abaikan oleh Khanza, bahkan gadis itu selalu menolak menemuinya. Tanpa menyerah dia selalu mengirim pesan melalui handphone, memberikan perhatian dan motivasi untuk Khanza menghadapi kenyataan ini. Puluhan bahkan ratusan pesan yang di kirim Arif, tak pernah mendapat jawaban, entah mengapa hari ini dia teramat begitu kecewa. Dengan tersulut emosi dia mengetik pesan untuk Khanza.

 

You're too selfish for me and yourself, Za. You are too willing to punish 'us' like this. Open your eyes, everyone is also sad to accept this reality, but life must be lived not avoided.

 

 

Throwing a poncel over the bed, Arif grabbed his own hair. Rubbing rough his disheveled face, he looked back at the incident one week ago, which had claimed the life of their best friend.

I'm sorry, Fa. I failed to please Khanza. I feel unworthy to be the man you are, asking to take care of him.

"Aragh!" yelled Arif frustrated. His mind's been really fucked up this week. Faizal's death greatly shook his body's soul. It is not enough to lose a friend, now the lover continues to ignore it. Walking to the bathroom, Arif needs a hot bath for now.

After reading a message from Arif, Khanza came to his senses. If in fact he is not the only one who is hurt, not only he who feels lost for the death of his best friend. Removing the water coming out of the corner of his eye, Khanza was still standing in front of the window.

Chequek!

The door opened, Zihan entered with a headband. He felt very sympathetic to his Sister-in-law, approached and brought Khanza into the arms, Zihan gave a message so that Khanza would not long dissolve in deep sorrow.

"Go let go, Za. We can't ask him to come back, enough do'a we can give. Now it's time we live a life with the people who are still with us." Gently rubbing the head of the Sister who was sobbing in her arms.

"Show Faizal your happiness, Za. Let him calm down there. Now brother's advice, you go back to living your life, there's Arif and your friends who are always waiting for your laugh."

Hearing the lover's name, Khanza unraveled his embrace. He remembered a message he had not repaid in a week.

"Ariff" lirih Khanza. "Yes, I have to call her." Khanza frantically searched for the poncel he had thrown in any direction.

"Sister, help me find my poncel, dong!" pinta Khanza's.

Zihan just smiled in response.

"Sister, come on dong! I'm gonna call Arif!" his whine shook Zihan's arm.

Khanza immediately ran without waiting for Zihan to finish his sentence. Going down the stairs in a hurry even barefoot, he came out of his room.

Two men were chatting casually in the living room, Zay tried to advise Arif to be patient with the nature of the Sister. Sipping the remaining coffee in the Zihan, Arif stood up to leave. Although today is the weekend, Arif is afraid of interrupting the break from Khanza's older brother. Especially now, Zay seems to be not feeling well, because since then the man looks like the flu.

"Ariff says go home first, brother."

"Lho, how come, go home? today's the week, we can relax first" prevent Zay.

"Son't rest, you must be tired, right? working week!"

"You are, Rif. You know, brother needs a break."

"Yes, Brother, Arif is coming home. Brother Zay, don't forget to take vitamins, let it be fresh again."

Experiencing Zay, the man took the keys to the car that was on the table.

"Sister doesn't move forward, Rif. Big Brother's body, it feels shivering. You careful, huh?"

"Yes Brother. Brother Zay, just rest."

Wrapping the jacket on his body, Arif immediately passed away from his lover's house. With heavy breathing and shaky steps, she tries to strengthen herself to always patiently give time for Khanza to lament the sorrow of losing her childhood best friend. Just a few steps away, Arif reached the main door of the Khanza house.

"Don't go home!" prevent someone.

Stopping his steps, the body now turned stiff. Arif slowly flipped over, to make sure he didn't hear the wrong sound this week terribly missed.

Khanza immediately scattered the man's embrace, shedding the guilt that is now very much felt. Ignoring the lover who continues to patiently face his nature. Hugs on the real man she misses so much.

"Don't go!" lirih Khanza shook his head at Arif's chest. The girl's tears came down wetting the leather jacket wrapped around Arif's body.

Immediately awakened from his shock, Arif returned the embrace of the lover. Slowly stroking the hair-covered back, Arif smiled at Khanza's sobs.

"Yes, I'm not going, go." Forcibly taking off their arms, Arif lowered his head to hold both of Khanza's shoulders. "Have dong, cry, ugly know?" arif Ledek. He cut off the flow of tears that kept pouring down his cup girl's cheeks. Featuring a row of white teeth, Arif smiled widely.

"Dangerously gini your boyfriend," Khanza sneered. Singing her lips, Khanza pretended to look sad.

"Yes my boyfriend, it's just mine." Arif smiled with anxiety, pulling back Khanza's embrace. Kissing several times the head of the girl, now Arif feels touched happy.

For a week he was ignored by Khanza, even for a message never reply by the cute girl. He was almost desperate for everything. However, his promise with Faizal made him have to be patient with Khanza.

Now he can breathe a sigh of relief, when his lover has opened up to be able to live his life again. Khanza also regretted, because he had been selfish to punish himself and people who currently care so much about him.
