Missing You: David

62. Old Wounds Open Back

Zea and Harry are now in a barbecue or rather a barbeque. Harry ordered a complete set of beef and a hot pot of spicy mala for Zea. Zea looked frustrated but she chose to be quiet.

"Why didn't you come home last night?" ask Harry in curiosity.

"A lot of work."

"Zea," called Harry while grilling the meat.

Zea looked at Harry and could not lie anymore. He chose to answer the reason he came home last night.

"I have to be sluggish, because there was a mistake this afternoon. The division manager gave me the task of making an interesting and suitable show proposal to be a weather news concept during the season."

Zea downed the alcohol in front of her and bowed back.

"You don't have to force yourself Zea, your talent is plentiful and you have the right to choose whatever you want."

"Including retreat?" ask Zea.

"Stop from the job I've been working so hard all this time?" added Zea again.

Harry fell silent and put the meat in Zea's bowl.

"Tasks in work are responsibilities. How we solve it is called professionalism. But, you think that with this kind of sadness your work will be maximal?" said Harry.

"No Zea. You're just gonna screw things up" Harry added.

Zea looked at Harry again. Harry was still busy grilling and said later.

"The work that is undertaken with all my heart will go well. Maybe the mistake was due to a tired self-response."

"Stop feeling sorry for yourself, now eat and return nutrients and rest. Tomorrow your work will be more maximal."

Zea smiled at Harry. He also felt that what Harry said was true. He made a mistake because he was not focused. It also happened because he was less rest so busy every day.

"I agree, let's eat" Zea asked with a smile.

They both ate and enjoyed the food they ordered. The two also talked while eating.

After the meal, the two returned to the office drunk and Harry was still fresh.

"I'll take you home, yes" Harry asked.

"No, drunk people don't drive. I'll take my bag and go home in an online taxi."

"All right then."

Harry walked into the hospital and Zea walked into the office. The office is still crowded because many divisions are overtime and there are still those who shoot exclusive news at that hour.

"Zea, there's someone who left Bungan and this letter for you" said Yessi, a weather news anchor and Zea's first intern.

"Oh, women?."

"No, he's a man."

"Alright then, thanks Yessi."

"Together."

Zea then returned home in an online taxi. After arriving at his home, he bathed himself immediately to sleep so sleepy.

The next day, because today he is on leave so he can rest all day. Suddenly, his phone rang.

Drtts

"Hello" call Zea.

"What?."

Zea was surprised not to play. He who was still sleeping instantly got up from his sleep and looked outside the window.

"What are you doing, Harry," said Zea.

Harry stood in front of his house waiting for Zea. She invites Zea to get up and run in the morning. After an argument, she finally decided to go with Harry.

Zea again confirmed Harry's condition from his bedroom window and cursed quietly.

"Basic naughty," he said then turned off the phone.

"Would you take a holiday?" ask Zea.

"Yes, I'm off today."

"Yaaa," cried Zea in the car.

"What's wrong?" ask Harry.

"You should rest on holiday. Why bother me. Basic," said Zea annoyed. But Harry just smiled.

After a few rounds, Harry invited Zea to go to the laguan in front of the port. There is shade due to a lot of vegetation and a beautiful view of the sea and the bridge above it. Sometimes there are low-flying planes on it.

Suddenly, when the two arrived there.Zea saw a familiar figure. The handsome man and the familiar posture stood alone there.

"David" Zea murmured when she saw David.

Harry looked towards Zea. Zea who was next to him looked stiff, shocked and did not make a sound anymore.

"Let's go," Zea asked later. He immediately turned his face away and left David. Harry agreed with all of that.

"Zea, wait," call David.

David walked quickly and stopped Zea's steps with his own hands. Zea stopped and did not look at all. Still holding Zea's wrist, David turned to Zea and looked at her.

"Can we talk for a second?."

"Let go" Harry ordered as he grabbed David's hand and clutched him tightly.

"Don't bother us. There's something I want to talk to Zea about."

"Go David," Zea said later.

David was shocked, he chose to let go of Zea's hand and sculpt in front of her.

A female voice came closer and called out David's name.

"David."

"David, where are you?."

The woman walked over and she stood in front of Zea.

"Zea," said the woman who was none other than Maya.

Seeing Maya with David, the wound on her chest was painful again. He was upset and left both. Meanwhile, Harry runs after Zea. Along the way the two stood up, without talking and ordinary.

Harry felt that it was not right to ask at this moment. However, all the expressions shown by Zea showed clearly that the person had ever meant anything in his life.

In fact, when we got home. Zea just came down and thanked me. Harry who understood also chose to return home.

"Hey, what's wrong?" asked Emily who saw Zea's face was very tangled.

"I hate it all" he said later.

"Why? Harry's harassing you?."

Zea then touched her poignant chest and cried loudly roaring the space in the living room. He was like a tantric child. Cry in Emily's arms and keep thrashing her chest and say pain. Emily just saw Zea like this.

Tired of crying, Zea falls asleep in Emily's arms. The worried Emily, after giving a blanket and placing a pillow under Zea's head went to the room and picked up the phone.

"Hello Harry. Can you tell me what happened?."

"What does that mean, Lili?."

"Zea was crying all day long, she was like a person who had just lost her loved one."

Harry was silent for a moment and did not answer.

"So he met David, I don't know who he is either."

"****, he's Zea's first love and old wound."

Emily turns off the call and Harry is still shocked to hear Lili's answer. The woman he likes, still loves the man in his past. If the wound was very deep, it would be possible to heal with Harry alone.

Worried and uneasy, Harry decides to find out who Zea's ex-lover is.
