Missing Scraps

23. Eps 22's

Gilang takes Zahra to a cafe. When he got there, Gilang took Zahra to the table that had been prepared for them. Zahra did not stop staring at the flower-filled decoration there. Zahra was so washed away in a romantic atmosphere at the cafe. He looked at Gilang who was staring at him.

“You're all Niapin' Lang?” asked Zahra, Gilang smiled then nodded.

“You like not Ra?” asked Gilang, Zahra who had just looked at Gilangpun smiled sweetly and nodded.

“Like Lang. I really like.” Said Zahra, his heart feels warm to get this surprize from Gilang.

“My name?” Gilang raised his eyebrows trying to tease Zahra. Zahra's smile instantly disappeared and pinched Gilang's stomach making Gilang grimace in pain.

“But! Gilang is already the vice. You like to know me!” zahra Dengus. Gilang looked at the pouting Zahra in front of him with a smile.

“Ooh, so you like it the same seriously?” silang said, then grabbed both hands of Zahra. Zahra cengo looked at both of her hands. Zahra nervously let go of her hand.

“Eum,- thirsty nih. Not drinking?” zahra distracts Gilang from him. Gilang chuckled at Zahra's behavior which was very nervous. Soon a waiter brought them a dish that had been prepared for them. Zahra.

“Why?” asked Gilang when he saw Zahra looking at him in wonder. Zahra shook her head, she understood, today is really a surprise for her.

After lunch, Gilang took Zahra to another romantic place. The beach? I don't know why Gilang brought him here. The grin tightly grasped Zahra's hand.

Zahra turned to Gilang who kept staring at the beach, his gaze flat. He looked at the hand that held him tightly. He looked back at Gilang, for some reason Zahra seemed to be afraid of not being able to see that face again. Gilang sat on the white sand as well as Zahra who sat beside him.

“Ra” call Gilang. Zahra turned her head there was a faint look in Gilang's eyes.

“Besok morning I want to go home to Australia.” Gumam Gilang. Zahra surprised.

“Koq suddenly?” ask Zahra. Gilang looked at Zahra sedu.

“Sorry Ra, critical oma. I was going there today.” He looked at Zahra.

“Yeah, why not say from semalem.” Zahra looked at Gilang. Gilang sighed.

“You inget? Semalem you cuekin me? I want to make sure you're having a romantic dinner like that. But I know your mood is not good anymore. I don't want to go without your smile.” Gilang.

Zahra recalled that after returning home from her best friend's engagement party, she ignored Gilang. Zahra smiled looking at Gilang.

“In addition to the incident semalem, I also became more time today with you. I'm afraid I can't see you again.” Further. The smile on Zahra's face instantly disappeared, Zahra released her hand from Gilang.

“Koq you said that anyway? You promised never to leave me again.” Zahra stared at Gilang flatly.

“Too fate says another?” silang. I don't know why that phrase escaped his mouth.

Zahra flinched with the expression Gilang. He's speechless. His eyes began to heat up, the tightness in his chest made his tears well up in his eyes.

“You shouldn't have found me again after our breakup in Junior High.” Zahra said, he stood up. The tears that had been shed were unable to bear. Gilang stood up and reached Zahra into his arms. Zahra cried in Gilang's arms.

“Ngga! Oma needs you more now Lang. But you promised you'd have to come back here.” Zahra sighed, she looked at Gilang confidently.

“I don't want to lose you again. You have been filling my days all this time. I realize, all this time I've been waiting for you Lang. I love you too.” Proceeds,

Gilang smiled happily at Zahra, a statement from Zahra made him satisfied. He hugged Zahra for a moment and she let go of his embrace.

“I guess, you used to love Reza, because it used to be anything Reza, always Reza!” Dengus Gilang remembers Zahra who was always near Reza when Gilang tried to disturb him. Zahra chuckles.

“Reza won't be here if you don't use me. You were the first one to come to my mind.” Zahra smiled sincerely. Gilang returned the smile, he knelt down in front of Zahra.

“So I don't need to ask you to love me? Because I know you love me.” He said, he took out a small box in his pants pocket. The same box, which Gilang will take out last night during Reza and Keina's engagement.

“You want to be my life partner?” continued. Zahra was moved, for the umpteenth time Gilang gave him a surprise. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared. He remembered Nesya who last night ruined his romantic atmosphere. He also remembered Restu's words that day. Zahra was silent, she stared flatly at the ring box before her. He brushed the box away until it fell on the sand. He was shocked and looked at the box that had fallen.

“Ra? What was? Why did you throw that ring away?” asked Gilang, he looked at Zahra who was staring at him flatly. Gilang standing.

“I can't do this. I love you just as much. But I can't. New,-“

“Nesya?” cut Gilang. Gilang chuckled at the name.

“Ooh so yesterday you got me because of Nesya? Ra! Nesya is just my best friend. Dia,-“

“He's your best friend, and you love him?” Cut Zahra.

“Love? I just love you Ra. There's nothing else. I just deal with him. I deket same him because emang I same he already know long.” Said Gilang trying to explain to Zahra. Zahra smiled faintly.

“Friend? There is no friendship between girls and boys Lang, because one of them has more feelings.” Said Zahra frustrated, somehow Zahra was sick considering the closeness of Gilang and Nesya.

“Yes, I know that saying Ra, and maybe someone else does. But I'm not Ra. I just love you. Nesya is already,-“

“Udah want married right? That's why you're looking for me. And you deketin me.” Cut off Zahra for the umpteenth time. Missing a jerk, she ruffled her hair in frustration.

“Ra! Until when do you want to believe me. Me, Nesya the same Restu is a friend. The one who deletin Nesya is Restu not me. And what you meant was not me, but Restu. Restu who came to you because he was heartbroken by the news of Nesya who wanted to be married. Trust me Ra!” Gilang grasped Zahra's hand and looked at her sedu. He was confused as to how to make Zahra believe him. Zahra took her hand off Gilang.

“Restu told me everything. I thought you loved me the same I was sincere Lang. I'm stupid. All this time I wish I were the only person in your heart. Turns out I was wrong. I was stupid waiting for you. I'm stupid!!” racau Zahra's. Tears crazily running down her cheeks, Zahra did not want to look weak, she ran away leaving Gilang glued in place.

Galang tries to catch up with Zahra, but Zahra is taken away by..

Restu.
