Missing Scraps

7. Eps 6's

Zahra sat beside her bed. He thought about Reza's words. The words kept ringing in his head.

"What do I really like about Gilang?" thought.

Zahra let out a rough sigh and threw her body on the bed. He closed his eyes, expelling the thoughts that tried to disturb him. Shortly thereafter he fell asleep.

It doesn't feel like it's almost graduation. This weekend, Zahra decided to return to Jakarta.

Back to college as usual Zahra always comes home with Reza. Before returning home Zahra stopped by the minimarket not far from the boarding house, After paying for her groceries Zahra sat in front of the minimarket following Reza who had been sitting from earlier.

"Za, tomorrow I go back to Jakarta, you want to come with me? I know my best friend." Zahra.

"Ooh you said, he's my replacement." Reza recalled Zahra's remark that as long as Reza wasn't around, there was a girl who replaced Reza next to Zahra.

"Well that's it. Want ngga?" bring Zahra.

"Yes, I asked papa. If papa has an event, I'll join. Yaudah I went back first." said Reza, because the house is different from the Zahra boarding house.

"OKAY. Be careful Za." said Zahra. Zahrapun left the place and walked to the hostel.

After arriving at the boarding house, Zahra cleaned up her clothes and immediately took a bath, Zahra was homesick, her yard, her mother, and also her best friend, Keina. Zahra fell asleep to meet early in the morning, so she quickly returned to Jakarta. Ah Zahra could not wait to meet her mother.

In the morning, Zahra got up and got ready. Polishing her thin lips with a peach-colored lipstick.

The sound of knocking on the door shocked him. Zahrapun opened the door.

"Reza." Zahra said when she saw Reza sitting in the front seat of the Zahra boarding house.

Zahra boarding houses are not specifically princess boarding houses, and also not as lonely as other boarding houses, indeed the rules in the boarding house should not accept just any guests, therefore, each hostel is provided a seat in front of the boarding house for guests, especially a male guest.

"Hi Ra, are you ready?" Reza looked at Zahra who was standing at the door.

"Are you really going with Za?" Zahra asked a little surprised to see Reza in front of the hostel was neat.

"Loh, didn't you make me? You're just kidding me?" Reza pretended to frown, making Zahra chuckle.

"Hahaha no, really koq. You really want to meet my best friend yaa, aah ngakuu" Zahra poked Reza's arm.

"What the hell, you know I'm not coming." Rajuk Reza is leaving Zahra. Then Zahra pulled Reza's arm.

"Ehh wait wait, I'm kidding me. Let me get the suitcase first." Zahra went inside her boarding house to pick up her suitcase and slingbag. Then lock the hostel. Before leaving, Zahra left the keys to Tina's mother.

"Mom, Zahra said yes, yes" said Zahra to Ms. Tina.

"Yes be careful on the road, Zahra." Said Ms. Tina.

After saying goodbye Zahrapun headed to the taxi where Reza was waiting for him.

They took a taxi to the airport. It only takes a few hours to get to Jakarta.

This time, Zahra did not tell anyone, unlike usual, usually Bu Maya picked up Zahra, but this time Zahra will surprise them all.

"Ra, I'm not coming to your house yeah, I have business. Greetings to your mother." said Reza.

"Okeh, thank you Za. Careful." said Zahra waving her hand, Reza smiled and left. Zahra knocked on her door.

"Assalamualaikum ma'am, ma'am." Greetings Zahra at the door. Not long after that the door opened.

"Wa'alaikumsalam,- Zahraa, oh my goodness, you go home with no mother." Said Ms. Rahma then hugged her favorite daughter.

"Surprizee mom, how's she doing?" They let go of each other's hugs and went inside the house.

"Okay koq baby, your hands are full with the hands of the mother." sorry Bu Rahma saw Zahra's arms contain a little flour. Zahra glanced at her arms and the arms of her mother.

"Well mommy made some cake? Zahra's sorry ma'am, Zahra never helped me." Sesal Zahra's.

"Duh, don't think about mom, Zahra. The important thing is that you learn and graduate, achieve your goals. I also have an assistant." Said Ms. Rahma smiling and shaking her waist.

"Well? Who's mom?" Zahra was curious.

"Then come to the man, wait a minute." Said Bu Rahma continued her activities, making Zahra pursed her lips.

"Assalamualaikum ma'am." The voice from the front of the house diverted their conversation.

"Well, she's a maternal assistant, come in son." Shouted Bu Rahma after answering Zahra's question. Zahra recognized the voice.

"It was a voice, "his words came to a halt when the figure entered his house.

"Here I am, I have something for you." Zahra took Keina to her room.

"Waah good baangeet, but I do not ask for ginian loh, but thank you also si. Hehe" Keina chuckled at receiving the parcel from Zahra.

Zahra just shook her head, Keina did not ask for anything from Zahra, but she also did not refuse for free.

"Why not go to college in Jakarta." Keina pursed her lips.

"You know I really want to go to Jogja." Zahra took off her clothes.

"Nih mom brought your favorite cake, surely you miss the same cake made by mom." Ms. Rahma carried a tray containing several pieces of brownies.

"You know, ma'am" said Zahra.

"Jaudah, I'm bringing it forward." After saying that, Madam Rahma brought the tray to the living room. Zahra and Keina followed behind him.

Arrived at 'MaraCafe' . Zahra dizzy looking for the figure of Bu Maya who is not visible in the Cafe. After asking one of the employees, it turns out that Bu Maya is in her house.

Zahra and Keina decided to sit at a table near a glass window facing the street.

"What Kei? " ask Zahra curiously.

"So, about me being the mother's assistant,-" Keina stopped her speech, deliberately making Zahra curious.
