My House At the Edge of the Cliff

Chapter 53 Dead Flavor

Zahira was surprised not to play knowing the reality that happened to his best friend, how big the trials they faced. He is also very salute to the struggle of Kiki who finally managed to get his love, living happily with people who have been struggling.

After the divorce Dimas will propose Kiki of course after the end of his iddah period, when that day comes they will enliven the wedding party as they dreamed so far.

"It's been too late, I'm saying go home first huh?" Zahira.

"Alright, be careful on the road!" exclaim Kiki.

"Let me drive forward" Fariz bargained.

Zahira nodded slowly and they said goodbye, walking out of the house the cold night breeze greeted to make Zahira shudder a little.

No sound came out except from the animals of the night, until they arrived in the car they were still mute to each other.

"Thank you" Zahira said slowly before she got into the car.

Fariz nodded slowly with a smile, making Zahira look long at the young man.

"What's wrong?" fariz asked embarrassed by the look.

"Why are you so good?" ask Zahira.

"Why can you go so far like this? your service to Kiki I'm sure Kiki's whole life won't forget it" she continued.

"I'll do the same if it happens to you" replied Fariz who made Zahira frown.

"You and Kiki each occupy my heart, I am ready to sacrifice anything for your sake. This is the love I have, for my sister."

"Then help me!" Zahira.

Clearly from his face was a plea, even a puddle at the end of his eyes signaled he was not okay.

"Zahira." call Fariz soft.

"Will you accompany me every day? tomorrow I'm going to the parlor, what do you want me to do?" tanyanya smiled.

"What about sour vegetables? I want something sweet, sour, savory, a little bit bitter also it's okay the most important there's a salty taste," asked Fariz flatly.

Zahira nodded, promising to make it with all her heart. It would be the perfect meal that they could enjoy together while contemplating the jumbled journey of fate.

Back home he was greeted by Pras who had been waiting since, this was the first time Zahira left without telling him and came home so late.

Pras anxiously asked but Zahira replied in his perfunctory manner, making Pras almost lose his patience. But given their depleted situation in Anisa Pras's residence can dampen his anger, he must understand it is not easy for Zahira to undergo all this.

As usual, Zahira slept in Anisa's room without allowing Pras to enter. In the morning he will wake up to do activities as usual, because he has promised to make vegetables that he refused to serve to Pras.

After Pras left for work, he prepared to go to the home, the children of the home welcomed Zahira cheerfully. Inviting him to play until he is satisfied, he also gives basic lessons for children who are ready to go to school.

"You've been here since?" ask Fariz who just came.

"Mm, do you want to eat now?" reply Zahira.

Fariz nodded, and they went to the park for lunch. While enjoying the cool air and talking about fun things.

"How's your divorce going?" ask Zahira.

"Thank God everything went well."

"Alhamdulillah" replied Zahira.

They smile at each other which makes Fariz aware Zahira's heart starts to open for him, actually he wants to take advantage of this to get closer to Zahira. But given the status of Zahira who is still the wife of the person he also undoes it, after all he is afraid if tried too hard Zahira will hate him like that time.

Finished from Zahira's home to go see Sarah, he asked Sarah for help to get the restaurant that currently belongs to Pras.

"I'll take care of it for you, but listen to this. Even though the restaurant had already changed ownership in your name when you divorced she would still get a share, it was because she was also instrumental in its construction."

"Alright, but at least I want a bigger part."

"That's for sure, I'll work it out for you. I have a good lawyer, but we need the paperwork."

"I'll give it to you" said Zahira confidently.

Sarah nodded, looking in salute at the woman who had now managed to rise from her helplessness.

As her comrade-in-arms and fate promised to work her way up, this was a form of hatred for all the men who had betrayed her.

That heart again Zahira came home at night, making Pras quite upset to speak in a high tone. But again Zahira did not care, he went straight into Anisa's room and slept.

This change in Zahira's attitude certainly makes Pras stress, he really does not like the quiet Zahira like a robot. Pras decided to meet his friends, vent his wife's problems and ask for advice.

"Bring a woman into your house, when I see her husband with another woman I'm sure your wife will be angry. No wife can see this so I'm sure it will work, at first you must have a big fight. But for a long time your wife will return as usual, and she will become more beautiful and considerate of you."

It was risky advice, but Pras thought about it quite well. Given the irritable nature of Zahira he felt this was worth a try, that night he decided to take Ayu to his home.

Ayu who was suddenly picked up and invited back to his house was shocked not to play, but of course he was also very happy because Pras finally dared to be open to their relationship.

As Pras expected that night Zahira had not come home, without bothering to hide openly they made out until the sound of the door being opened.

Instantly they fell silent, looking towards the door that was slowly opening. Zahira who had just returned home was instantly silent to see Ayu there with Pras, he stared at them one by one sharply.

But then without a word he just passed as if he saw nothing, Pras who was ready to hear various insults only froze because of Zahira's actions outside his expedition.

But then he finds hope when Zahira returns, but strangely his expression remains flat.

"I've prepared a room for you guys, you better do it there. It's not good to see the neighbors" said Zahira.

He also passed by, even Pras who finally went up because his plan failed. Furious he let go of Ayu's embrace and ran towards Zahira.

"Why are you Za?" he shouted in high notes.

"What the hell?" reply Zahira.

"I know it's not easy, but Anisa won't be back to stop Za! it is precisely your attitude that will burden Anisa!" the hardic.

"Shut up! never take my daughter's name!" reply Zahira in a higher tone.

Reluctant to continue arguing Zahira chose to leave while Ayu tried to approach Pras to dampen his anger and leave Zahira, but Pras who is currently ignited emotions are not easy to talk to.

"Wait Za! I'm not done talking!" his screams were about to follow.

"Udah mas! let her go, "pinta Ayu while holding Pras' hand.

"Arrrggghhh!" snapped Pras while pushing.

Aaaaaa...

Buccancy

Without Pras knowing he pushed too hard until Ayu fell to the floor, while grimacing in pain Ayu tried to get up but what she saw was blood coming from her pants.

"Mas.." call Ayu Iirih.

Pras turned his head and as he looked at the blood he immediately felt regret and panic.
