Nazia is tidying up her desk. Today, he plans to return home quickly because he wants to visit Abel's grave before returning home. It has become a routine activity that Nazia does once a week this past year. He will also stay at Abel's parents' house once every two weeks so that Mr. Bram and Ms. Serly are not too lonely.
Nazia became a more patient figure even though not as happy as before. True said people, whatever happens can change the nature of someone for example this beautiful doctor.
Nazia carried her backpack in the back while saying goodbye. "Zev, Ay ! I'm going home first." He paid attention to his two friends.
Zevin looked at Nazia.
"A promise?" He asked without a smile on his face.
Nazia was standing in the doorway. "I'm going to Abel's grave for a little while and tonight I have Alby's appointment." Explain with a sweet smile.
Zevin nodded and said
"Be careful, Zi." While forcing a smile.
Nazia continued her steps to get out of the room. Rayya looked at Zevin who was staring at Nazia's departure, the man's eyeballs looking sad. Rayya breathed in slowly and then walked up to Zevin while touching the man's shoulder he said.
"When are you going to be like this?"
Zevin rests his body on the chair and Rayya moves to sit in front of his desk. "It's my fault, Ay." His words averted his eyes. "When I could see love from him. Maybe, I already have it." He was silent for a moment feeling regret in his heart. "I used to think of all his attention, his words, his gentle and the way he treated me. It's all just using me for its own sake. But I was wrong ! It was all sincere and I realized after everything he showed me slowly disappeared and I lost everything." Zevin breathed heavily. "Even stupidly I'm in a relationship with a woman who really uses me." He rubbed his face rough. "I'm really sorry I didn't care about how much I liked me even though I actually knew it." Zevin said again.
Rayya was a little surprised to hear the ending Zevin said. "You knew?" Ask ensures.
The man nodded slowly. "Yes I know if Zi likes me."
Rayya touched Zevin's arm and said "Then... What's your plan ?Your match is getting closer." There is a discrepancy in his sentence if his best friend marries another woman.
"I'm confused too Ay. He's close to Alby. Maybe, I'll choose to love her in my own way just like she used to when she was with Abel." Zevin lowered his head.
"What now you're giving up ? Alby isn't the late Abel, right now he's limiting Zi to being close to you even if they don't have anything to do with you."
"It looks like he's going to be with Alby. I could see there was love in his eyes for that man." Zevin smiled faintly. Grieved in his heart as he let out that sentence.
"That's the difference between you and Alby"
"You mean?" Zevin doesn't understand.
"Zev, I know what you've been doing all this time is an expression of your love for Zi and every word you say is representative of your heart. But are you aware ? if all this time you put yourself only as his friend. So, Zi could only see it all as a form of attention and affection as a friend. Not as a man who gives his place to lean from all his complaints." Obviously Rayya is soft
" Then Alby ?"
"He showed it with seriousness and Zi could see all that. Come on, Zev ! Show everything right don't make friends again. Be mature so that Zi can see your love for her." Rayya. "If I were to be, Zi. I also assume that everything you've been showing all this time is just a friend's attention." Welcome again
Zevin went silent trying to digest all of Rayya's words. It's only right that Nazia can't see there's love for her. Because all this time the handsome doctor rarely shows his seriousness and he will be mature and serious only at certain times. Now Zevin begins to understand where to start to get Nazia's heart.
...---------------...
Nazia is getting ready in her room because Alby is coming to pick her up soon. Tonight they have a dinner appointment. The door of the room in the open from the outside, Mira's mother stood at the entrance.
"Alby's waiting for you."
"Yes, Ma. I'm going out." Reply Nazia is still tidying up her hair.
Mira's mother closed the door again. Then meet Alby in the living room.
"Wait a minute, Al" Smiled warmly at the young master.
"Yes, Aunt."
Before long Nazia came out of the room in a white knee-length dress and her long hair decomposed beautifully and the natural makeup polish made her beauty increase. Alby did not blink looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him. Nazia stared at the wonder that there was something strange about her appearance?
"Is something wrong?"
"Ti—not all perfect." Alby. He was surprised by his admiration.
Nazia smiled shyly. Not to forget he immediately say goodbye to Mira's mother.
"Ma I'm going first." His pamphlets kissed his mother's left and right cheeks.
"My aunt brought Zia first." Alby said goodbye.
"You two be careful, don't go home too late." Mira's mother drove the two men to the front door.
"Fall in love only you involve me sir. What if I'm in love, are you involved?" Jimmy muttered as he saw Alby's car enter the courtyard of the restaurant. Jimmy steps in quickly to open the car door for Alby and Nazia. "Welcome sir, Miss" She bowed her body.
"Thank you brother Jimmy" Nazia smiled kindly.
"Is everything ready?"
"Here you go, sir." Answer Jimmy.
"Let's go in." Alby pulls Nazia's hand into his.
The beautiful doctor nodded with a palpitating feeling, dinner alone the preparations were up to this point he thought. They were in one of the rooms Jimmy had prepared.
Alby pulled out a chair for Nazia and allowed her to sit down
"Zia we eat first, after that there's something I want to say." Speak while sitting his body in a chair.
"I—iya." Nazia stammered with a slightly flushed face. Not sparing his heart beating fast.
Food is on the table. Alby and Nazia ate slowly no sound came out of their mouths. Only the clang of the spoon sounded echoing.
Dinner's over, Alby's taking Nazia somewhere. The girl felt familiar with the place. The road they passed through was the cafe street where Abel and Nazia had been meeting. During this time he rarely passed the road, because it would be further up to his house.
Alby's car stopped at the park location but rarely visited by people, because it was a little inside from the sidewalk. Alby took Nazia's hand to get to that place. Some people dressed in black greeted them by marching by the side of the road. As usual Jimmy picked up his young master.
"Leave us both !"
Jimmy nodded and directed his men to leave the place.
"Why don't I know this place?"
"This is my family's land and this park was made by papa for me and Erika's sister when she was a child, we can only play here for our safety reasons and the park is rarely visited by people. Because it wasn't open to the public." Alby.
"That's a sign that he loves you very much." Reply Nazia observed his surroundings.
Quite quiet and a little horror according to him, the lighting is not much and surrounded by towering buildings.
"Zia look over there !"
Nazia followed the direction of the man's hand. The lights suddenly lived on top of the white rose consecutively forming a heart in the middle of the garden. Nazia closed her mouth in amazement, her favorite white rose decorated with lights so beautiful there. The slightly dim atmosphere earlier changed brightly. Roses everywhere were growing neat and well-groomed, it seemed like Alby had really prepared everything.
Alby took Nazia into the circle and stood face to face. With her hands intertwined, Nazia could feel Alby's fingers feeling cold.
The man adjusted his breathing because he was nervous. It felt comfortable he said. "Nazia, on that street we met the first time and also I was curious about you." Alby pointed the way out of the park. "I thought you were the angel of death that night. But in fact you human angels came before me." Connect Alby. "I fell in love with you right then and there. I've been looking for you for months until we're rediscovered. Nazia in this place too I brought you back to create a story about us here. Zia I love you. Will you be my lover." Alby.
Nazia smiled. But silence without answering, as if thinking reassures his heart. Cold sweat splattered on Alby's temple his face seemed unsettled waiting for an answer that would change him later.
"I want to."
"really?" Alby did not believe it.
Nazia nodded with a smile. The man was very happy his struggle of one more year had succeeded. Nazia is now his.
"Thank you Zia. I love you" Alby took Nazia into his arms.
"I love you too."
Both of them silently felt an understated heartbeat in their chest. Alby let go of his embrace and looked at the face of the woman who had officially become his lover.
"Zi, may I ask you a favor?" Alby grabbed Nazia's hand.
"What?"
"Can you remove the ring on your ring finger ? Instead this necklace is the one you wear." Alby took out a necklace from his pocket.
Nazia was silent again, staring fixedly at her engagement ring which was still attached to her sweet day. He has to let go. Didn't he promise Abel's tomb to open a new chapter in his life. Nazia looked back at the face of the man who had filled her heart. "Yes." Yeah." Speak without burden.
Alby pairs a beautiful necklace with Maroon's red pendant to Nazia's neck. "Don't get loose." Said firmly.
The girl nodded and smiled. The two men were enjoying happiness without them knowing two people in different corners were hurt there. Watching for themselves their loved ones anchored in another heart.
