Missing You: David

64. A chance for Harry

Zea who chose not to go home apparently went to a public bath or sauna and chose to stay there. In the sauna, many parents and young people spend the night there.

Now, Zea was sitting while eating the boiled eggs she bought.

"Hey young man, why are you sleeping here?" ask an old grandmother who is sitting with some friends.

Zea turned her head and replied, “I want to spend the night just by now,” Zea replied that just as a pleasantries considering that asking is an older person. The grandmother screeched and said, “young people today, busy beautifying themselves but do not have money and a home,” said the grandmother in a irritating tone. The insinuated Zea was annoyed, but she responded wisely and instead brought herself closer to the middle-aged grandmothers.

“Grandmother, I agree with what grandma said,” said Zea as she approached and brought her bedding and food closer to the grandmother's entourage.

“Is, what she did,” said another grandmother who felt Zea approaching.

“Oh yes, which part?” asked the grandmother who had mocked Zea.

“Part of young people is busy beautifying without saving money for himself.”

“I am also so grandma, I work to beautify myself because I am the host,” added Zea.

The horde of grandmothers felt attracted and looked at Zea with excited smiles.

“Oh yes, very good job,” said a grandmother.

Another grandmother also wailed and asked. Eventually they mingle and get to know each other.

The next day, Emily does not see Zea at home. He also found himself in the living room with a blanket. He did not remember the incident and what caused him to sleep in the living room. Instead of thinking, Emily went to take a shower and went to work.

“For Lilies, tumben does not leave with Zea.”

“Unfortunately Zea has departed?”.

“Already.”

“Oh, yes already there continue to work,” said Emily switched the conversation.

He immediately sat in his work chair as with some of his co-workers. He also looked towards Zea's private office with several other presenters sitting there in the same clothes as yesterday.

“Didn't he go home?” emily thought she was curious.

Suddenly, a message came in from Harry for Emily.

“I can't reciprocate your feelings Lili, but I hope you don't stay away. I want us to stay friends, and you know I like Zea. So, I will assume you didn't say anything yesterday,” Harry wrote in the message.

Emily was shocked. He was confused why Harry said so, what mistake he made to make Harry say it. He walked over to Zea's office and called out to Zea.

“Zea, can we not talk for a moment?.”

“Iya, a minute yes,” Zea said as she typed something on Zea's laptop.

Emily nodded and headed to the pastry. The finished Zea also followed immediately.

“What's Lili?” ask Zea.

“Why don't you go home?.”

“I went to the public bath to refresh myself, what is it?.”

“Means you don't know, what happened last night?.”

“Every night? No.”

“What is it?” zea asked again.

“It looks like I made a mistake with Harry, you know, I kind of liked Harry's face that looked like my ex. But, I forgot what I did because I was drunk last night.”

Zea was speechless, there was no way she would say what she saw last night. Because if she did, then Lili would think she was avoiding them both. The reason he went to the public bath would not be justified. After that, they could also become awkward.

“Ze, Zeze” call Emily.

“Ha?” zea replied in shock.

“Tumben calls me Zeze.”

“You didn't turn when I called Zea.”

“Sorry, I'm dizzy.”

“Oh so, hm anyway you calm down. Me and Harry are just friends, that's all. I'm going back to work,” explained Emily who immediately left Zea.

Zea just smiled and picked a drink. Zea is back at work and focused on today.

He came home early because there was no extra work. She goes home first, because Emily has to go overtime, and she also has to meet Harry because there's something Harry wants to say.

“Zea, can we meet for a moment,” Harry wrote in a short message that Zea received this afternoon.

So, in order to meet Harry, Zea goes to the cafe at the place ordered by Harry. Harry was sitting there waiting for Zea to come. There was Zea's favorite cake on the table, and two glasses of drink that Harry seemed to have ordered on purpose. Got Zea seen using plastic cups and sealed plastic.

“Harry,” greet Zea.

“You've been waiting a long time?.”

“Newly kok.”

“OK,” Zea replied then sat down.

Harry who had been standing also sat down. At first they chatted normally and chat normally, until suddenly Harry said, “I like you Zea, can you give me a chance.”

Zea was silent, she was shocked not to play. He felt there was something wrong with all this. There is clearly a difference between speech and action. He saw Harry yesterday with Lili even though, Harry did not return the hug.

“I know you are worried about me and Lili, but we have nothing to do,” Harry added.

“I know you saw what happened yesterday. I came to your house to bring you the food that my mother gave you, but Lili walked around drunk and rambled on obscure things,” Harry explained.

Zea was silent, she was confused. Actually he also had no thoughts of jealousy or choosing Harry to be a partner. But, as it gets closer. He knew Harry was a good man who wouldn't hurt him, but what could he do. He is also reluctant to fight with his own best friend just for the sake of men.

“Zea,” call Harry again.

“Eh, yes?.”

“Why are you quiet?.”

“I have to think about this first Harry, I hope you are patient.”

“Alright, I will wait for your answer. I also hope it's a positive answer,” said Harry.

***

That night, at David's house. He stood in front of the window of the house facing the yard and garden beside the house.

“Is he okay?” said David who still thinks about Zea.

“Who are you thinking about?” asked Maya who was walking carrying the baby in her hand.

“Yes who else if not his ex-lover,” replied Daniel who is a cousin of David and husband Maya.

“You guys why are still here, always bothering me,” said David annoyed.

So, ever since David came home from Zea's college. He was refused to return and returned to his home. He was locked up and busy hurting himself. In fact, David once forced himself to work without rest and eat until he became ill. Since then, he has rarely played and returned home. Until she finally finds hope to meet Zea again in Maya's last game as an esports athlete before getting married at that time. He sees Zea as very ambitious and fiery. In fact, in David's eyes he could see the Zea that had once been lost.

“Just look for him, and tell him you still love him,” Daniel said.

“Do I have to explain to him, that I am your cousin at this time?” ask Maya at once mock.

“No need, just let everything go according to destiny. If once again we meet, no matter there is a man she likes, I will chase after her.”

Daniel and Maya smiled and nodded in agreement. They are happy, his brother this time has a taste of life and love. They're even afraid David likes men.

Zea was pacing the living room, while Emily was calling her ex-boyfriend Leo.

“What the hell is it? Pacing rich ironing,” oceh Emily who is upset.

“There's a guy who's interested in me, and I think he's a good guy. But, I'm afraid,” Zea replied.

“Thank you, I know he's a good man,” Emily said convincingly.

“Then you?.”

“Don't I explain,” Emily said.

Zea smiles and picks up her phone which is on the charger at the front desk Emily calls and goes near the pool.

Drrtts

Harry's phone rang, and he saw Zea's name there.

“Please replace it first,” said Harry who was checking the patient's file giving to the intern and went to pick up Zea's phone.

“Halo, Ze. What's up?.”

“You're doing sibu?.”

“No, what is it?.”

“I want to say that I will give you a chance to get to know me first,” Zea said.

Harry smiled happily and thanked Zea. The two then discuss considering their first date will be done where. Finally, the two agreed to meet at the mall in the afternoon to watch a movie as well as dinner.

“Doctor Harry, there is a patient,” shouted one of the female nurses who sounded on the phone.

“Sana is back to work,” the sensitive Zea said.

“Alright, see you later,” said Harry later.
