Missing Scraps

8. Eps 7's

Zahra's eyes caught someone at the entrance. Zahra let go of his embrace.

"Well that's it Reza" Zahra said, making Keina turn her head.

The smile that had been expanding on Keina's face slowly faded away along with Reza's footsteps that were getting closer until Reza reached Zahra's table. He sat down in front of Zahra and Keina. Reza's eyes unintentionally looked into Keina's eyes. Makes him stare for a moment.

"Where's Za? Did you finish your business?" Ask Zahra.

"Ah yes? Why Ra?" Reza averted her eyes, and looked at Zahra.

"Where? Are you done with the business?” reset Zahra.

"Ah yes, it's Ra.” Reza was a little nervous.

"Oh yeah, Kei it's Reza, and Za, it's Keina." Zahra introduced them.

Reza was silent in his place as was Keina. An awkward feeling approached them, Zahra who understood the situation also elbowed Keina's arm, Keina also regained her senses and extended her hand.

"Keina." Said Keina introducing herself, while Reza raised her eyebrows confused. Without waiting for long, Reza finally grabbed Keina's hand.

"Reza." The reply, no matter what game you are going to play now, - Inner Reza.

After a long conversation, Zahra said goodbye to the toilet and left her two best friends. A few minutes away from Zahra, the atmosphere at the table was silent. Until Reza opened his voice.

"Look? Why don't you be honest with Zahra, if we already know, even deket?" reza asked for an answer. Keina let out her breath.

"I,- I can't!" keina said without looking at Reza. Reza frowned confused.

"Why?"

"I can't explain it to you right now" Keina said, looking nervous.

"When do you want to explain to me? Long Zahra must also know koq." sergeant Reza flat, Keina confused what to answer.

"I,-"

"Hayoo's.. What are you guys talking about? It was getting familiar." Zahra's sergeant suddenly appeared making Keina surprised.

"Zahrah!" keina's voice choked, unable to hide her shock.

"Ah not koq, Eum, Ra, I think we should go home now." said Keina to divert the conversation. Zahra followed him and went home with Keina.

Keina drove her car to Zahra's house. On the way Keina was much silent, Zahra was confused because it was not usual for Keina to be quiet like this. But Zahra did not want to bring up the issue. They arrived at Zahra's house.

Keina took the cake that had been prepared by Ms Rahma to be delivered to MaraCafe.

"Ra, I say yes, tomorrow-tomorrow we talk again." said Keina when she left.

"Okay, be careful on the road ya Kei" said Zahra.

They also wave to each other. Zahra went into her house and went to her room. He broke down, tired, made Zahra sleepy, and began to close her eyes.

"Zahra, don't you eat first?" Ask Ms. Rahma behind the door to Zahra's room.

Zahra opened her eyes, started to get up and opened the door of her room.

"Witha ah ma'am, I had eaten with Keina, Zahra wanted to rest" Zahra said smiling, Ms Rahma stroked Zahra's hair and let Zahra sleep.

Returning home from his mother's cafe, Reza went home to his mother's house. But on the way home, he saw someone very familiar in the minimarket across the street.

Reza pulled her car over from a distance, got off and crossed the road, to make sure she was Keina or not, and her guess was right. Reza blocked Keina's arm.

"Please,-" Keina tried to shake off the hand that was blocking her. His eyes are perfectly rounded.

"Reza?" Keina is shocked to find out that it was Rezalah who blocked her arm.

"I want to talk to you." Reza flat.

"I'm,- I'm in a hurry, Za, tomorrow I am." Keina took her hand off Reza.

"Za, come down! I'm going home. Za, open the door!"

Kiara knocked on her car's door glass many times, not the door that opened but the car door glass that opened.

"I'm anter home." Reza flat.

"But Za, Rezaa.!!" Regardless of Keina's words, Reza closed the windshield again. Keina will not obey Reza. Keina turned around the car and got into the car.

Reza drove his car out of the place. Quiescent. No one opened his voice, until Keina's car passed the car parked on the side of the road.

"That's not a car,-" Keina's words hung, Reza turned to Keina.

"That's my mom's car, I just stepped in for a second." Reza then looked down the street again.

"Mama?" Keina asked confusedly.

"Yes, why?" Reza asked, turning to Keina.

"Tante Maya, your mama Za, not your mama" again the words hang.

"Yes, Maya's mom is my real mama, Sonya's just a stepmom." Obviously Reza.

Keina just booed without a sound.

"You know my mom?" Ask Reza, but stay focused on driving the car.

"Your mom is my mom from High School." His word.

Reza pulled over the car at a cafe, a familiar cafe, a cafe owned by his mother.

"Koq we're here, Za?" Keina asked confusedly as she got out of the car.

Suddenly Keina remembered something. Keina remembered the cake that Bu Rahma would bring to this cafe. He opened the trunk and took some cardboard boxes containing the cake.

Reza looked at Keina confused, but then brought along the boxes. After giving the cardboard to one of the employees there,

Reza holding Keina's hand took her to a special room in the cafe.

They sat face to face, still silent until the waiters brought some menus that Reza ordered. After the waiters died, there were both of them left.

"You're selling cake here?" asked Reza who was shrouded in curiosity. Keina pressed her shoulders.

"Yes, that's Zahra's mother's cake, I just helped Zahra's mother come here" Keina explained. Reza nodded.

"Ooh that's it."

They fell silent again, Reza sipped her drink before opening her voice.

"You owe me one answer." Reza to the point.

Keina chokes while drinking her cappuccino. Rezapun reflex patted Keina's back, rubbing until Keina felt relieved.

"Sorry sorry, sorry for me." Reza sat back in his place.

Keina was silent in place, she was at a loss as to what to answer.

"I,-" Keina's words came to a halt as Reza picked up her phone.

"Hallo, is this aunt Reza, auntie how are you? Ah Reza is also good koq. Oh yes Keina again brags with me, why tan? Ooh that, okay bye aunt." Reza ended her phone.

"What are you doing?" Keina asked curiously.

"It's your mom's phone, you're your mommy you're walking with me, so you have no reason to go anymore" Reza said, leaving Keina speechless, not knowing what to say.

"I'll ask you once again. Why don't you just tell Zahra, if we already know each other." Reza looked at Keina, but Keina was unable to look at Reza. Without waiting for a response from Keina, Reza added again.

"Nearly fiancee,-"
