"Nadine's."
"What else?..."
"I love you..."
Instead of answering, Nadine blushed in embarrassment. Like a girl who just knew love. The expression of love from Zain makes his heart flowery, Nadine feels her body drift up to nirvana. His lips were tightly clenched, he looked down embarrassed. She was so embarrassed, wanting to answer I love you too. She bit her lower lip to cover up her nervousness.
"Nadine, why are you still standing here. Let's go in." Zahra pulled Nadine's hand and led her into the cafe, Nadine looking back. Zain smiled warmly at him while waving his hand.
After no longer seeing Nadine, Zain sighed and left. Zain's heart could not be calm if Nadine had not accepted his love.
***
Nadine is not focused on work. His work went awry, repeatedly he misplaced orders to Cafe customers. The word of love from Zain had already seized his mind. The expression of love from Zain was always ringing in his ears and mind.
"Nadine, what are you doing?... How do I keep observing how to keep going. If you don't dream of smiling yourself?..." Zahra gently rubbed Nadine's dreamy arm.
"It's okay... Ahhhh, Zahra... Have you ever been in love???..."
"Why???... Are you in love again?..."
"I don't know either, anyway every close to him I feel comfortable, happy, groggy. If you remember, keep thinking."
"Maybe it's called love... Same with Dion?..." Zahra answered and asked.
"Not the same as Dion. But same with Zain."
"Who else is that?..."
"It's normal to take me to college."
"Oh him... Dion must be very disappointed if you know you have fallen in love with another man. Actually, I was the same as him, his sacrifice all this time was in vain. But it's okay maybe not yet a soul mate. Don't give false hope to him."
"I never gave false hope to Dion's brother. I have often said that there should be no love between us. But brother Dion is insistent, wanting to earn my love. Well if my love falls on another choice how?..."
"Let time answer. Yuk, we work again. Not good with others if you talk too long."
"Yes" replied Nadine as she hugged the tray on her chest.

Nadine packed up her things and left the cafe with Zahra.
"Nad, I'm going home first...." Said Zahra, he always went home on foot because the cafe where he worked is not far from where he lived.
"Yes..."
"Assynoltom..." Zahra said hello.
"Wa aleikumsalam..." Answer Nadine.
Nadine turned to the right when she heard the roar of the motorbike that had been waiting for her under the headland tree next to her lined with Kiara umbrella trees. Zain's motor began to speed closer to him.
"From this, brother???..." Nadine asked as Zain was already in front of her.
"It's only been 17 minutes..."
"Wad... Sorry, old man waiting. You clean up first."
"It's okay, I'd rather be on standby than you waiting." Zain answered while putting a helmet on Nadine's head.
"Why not wait inside anyway, brother?..."
"I don't like to see you serving others."
"The name is also work, brother." Nadine answered while riding on her bike. But Zain refused to answer. He is self-conscious, at the moment he is a nobody.
"Are you ready???..."
"Ready." Nadine replied, Zain was immediately gas.
A sense of happiness coiled in the chest of the two people who were in a drunken romance. Smiles continued to be etched beautifully on the lips of Zain and Nadine.
"Maine..."
"What?..."
"Let's eat yuk. I'll treat it."
"Sir Zain is so royal with me, not afraid of his money running out."
"Don't worry... My money won't be drained if it's just to buy you a meal."
"Sister Zain has a lot of money..."
"Yes..."
"My money is your money too."
"Don't say what, brother." Nadine said tightly but her cheeks met red, her lips covered in a smile.
"Nadine, if we marry you want us to live in an apartment or buy our own house?..."Zain asked seriously.
"So Zain said what the hell, don't make it up?..." Nadine bit her lower lip so that her smile did not widen, every word that came out of Zain's mouth always made Nadine fly around.
Zain smiled, out a nosy idea in his head.
"Qobiltu Nikahaha wa Tazwijaha Nadine Sakhi Albiru alal Mahril Madzkuur wa Radhiitu bihi, Wallahu Waliyut Taufiq." Zain recites the ijab qobul on the vehicle.
"Oh brother Zain what the hell?... It's grim." Nadine covered her mouth with her hands while laughing out loud. He could not help himself, Zain continued to tease him.
"Every day, Nad, I practice reading Ijab qobul so that the marriage contract is not wrong."
"Take the ijab qobul on the bike???..."
"If you read Ijab qobul in front of the ruler, you will not?..."
"No way..."
"Why not?..."
"It doesn't want to..."
"Well, now it's okay. But later fitting Ijab qobul must want ya."
"Ih maksa."
Suddenly the motor driven by Zain died. Nadine immediately got off the bike followed by Zain. Repeatedly Zain tried to stater his motorbike but the motorbike never lived. The sweat was pouring all over Zain.
"The phone is still good, why???...." Said Zain after checking the condition of the bus.
"Maybe ask for service, brother. I strike often like this?..."
"Never, this bike is routinely serviced. Why strike again read the girl anyway." Zain complained and kicked his bike. Nadine who heard him chuckled.
"Maybe the fate of both of us wants longer..." Chirps Zain.
"Sotoy deh.... Zain's brother is getting here more and more alay deh."
"Hahahaha yes..." Zain turned his head up into the sky."Sky overcast. It must be raining. Nadine let's go up."
"Where are you, brother?..."
"Go to the bike, cook me up."
"Yes, the bike is dead."
"It's just going up, trust me. Later if you ride, the bike must be the way..."
Zain. But Nadine was silent, staring at Zain with a probing gaze."Loh, even dumbass. Come on up if you don't want to rain."
"Seriously, brother?..."
"Yes, seriously." Zain replied, although hesitant Nadine still ride on Zain's motorcycle.
"Loh, loh, loh brother Zain, why even pushed anyway?..." After Nadine sat in the motorcycle seat, Zain instead pushed the steering wheel with his hands. His feet were walking rather quickly for fear of the rain soon falling. Nadine's reflexes held onto her shoulders.
"It has to be pushed in order to walk."
"I'm coming down, brother, if that's it."
"Don't, you must be tired of working. We'll stop by my apartment for a second, I'll take the car and I'll take you home."
"But brother, you must be tired if you push the motor in addition to my heavy load."
"What the hell didn't do to you. My apartment is not far from here."
Nadine's eyes were already glazed over, tears were already almost falling from her eyes. She was so moved by Zain's gentle and romantic treatment. His love for Zain was growing more and more.
5 Minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes Zain kept pushing his bike which was occupied by Nadine. Zain's breath was hunting, tired that he felt confused with his happiness when he was close to a Nadine. Sweat had washed his body. Until the clothes he was wearing were soaked.
Raindrops began to rain down on the earth. Zain accelerated his pace. After arriving at the apartment, Zain and Nadine's clothes were all soaked because of the rain.
Zain took Nadine by the hand and led her into the apartment. They passed through the lobby to the elevator.
Again Zain had to be trapped in an elevator along with Riska. Zain let go of Nadine's hand and then grabbed Nadine's shoulder. What a burning sight Riska's soul, her heart burned with blind jealousy. Riska tried to calm herself down to quell the anger that was raging in her heart.
Riska's heart gets hotter when she sees Zain and Nadine entering the same apartment.
Bad thoughts perched in his head, whether Zain would fuck the girl like Rangga who used to fuck her.
