NOT A PAYCHECK

109

At midnight, Zara woke up from her sleep. She looked at her husband who was still sleeping facing her.

After her husband felt safe and did not wake up, Zara prepared to change her clothes and wear a hijab and walked slowly out of the room carrying a large bag of goods.

One of the reasons Zara was able to get Sean's clothes because Zara did not want Sean to know if some of Zara's goods had been included in a large bag that he would carry tonight.

Yes tonight indeed Zara forced to leave without Sean's permission. Not that Zara wants to be an ungodly wife, but Zara really needs time alone to forgive Sean. Also in order for Sean to realize what he has done wrong, if Sean had been honest from the beginning maybe none of this would have happened, he was not as sick as this.

Zara walks out of Sean's house slowly, until Zara immediately orders an online taxi to drive him to the terminal.

Before escaping, Zara had sought information about the scheduled departure of the bus from the terminal to her hometown and there was a departure schedule at 2 am.

It is now 1 am, there is still one hour left for the departure of the bus that will be boarded by Zara.

Luckily there are still online taxis so Zara does not need to be confused to arrive at the terminal on time.

But tonight it seems like nature is not on Zara's side because it has not yet been terminated, the online taxi Zara boarded broke down in the middle of the road.

"However, fuss again the engine of the car" said the taxi driver.

"If I wait a long time, don't you sir?" ask Zara who is actually also afraid to be outside in the middle of the night like this.

"For at least an hour, if you don't find another taxi here, I'm still here to be safe" said the driver who was immediately taken by Zara.

Zara got out of the car and stood not far from the taxi her driver was repairing.

Zara tried to book a taxi online again but unfortunately many taxis that have been offline make Zara a little frustrated because the time is 30 minutes away from her bus schedule.

"How is this, O God... Is this punishment because I have been disobeying my husband?" muttered Zara regretting that she had run away in the middle of the night like this.

Zara still stood looking at the taxi driver who was still repairing his car while continuing to pray that the taxi could go quickly even though it was impossible but Zara still continued to pray until there was a familiar car stopped in front that cab.

The owner of the car came out and was surprised to see Zara, "Zara, what are you doing here?" ask a man who is none other than Zayn who just wore pajamas and went out in the middle of the night, I don't know what Zayn did..

"Ak-i..." Zara was unable to answer, only bowing her head.

"What happened, why did you get here in the middle of the night like this. Where's Sean?" zayn asked, looking for Sean.

Zara still did not answer until finally the taxi driver answered Zayn's question, "This lady asked to be delivered to terminal , but my taxi is jammed and hours like this are no more taxis."

"Terminals? it's midnight like this?" Zayn still does not understand what happened to Zara but seeing Zara just look down lethargic makes Zayn understand if Zara and Sean are in trouble.

"Want I give you?" zayn's bargain finally made Zara look up and look towards Zayn.

"Let's take you to the terminal, before your bus leaves."

Zara thought for a moment about Zayn's offer before nodding in agreement with Zayn's offer.

"Just calm down, I won't do you any harm" Zayn said as Zara sat in the back seat.

Zara who felt bad finally abandoned her intention to sit behind her and chose to sit in front of Zayn.

"What time does your bus leave?" ask Zayn who is now starting to drive his car.

"Hour 2."

"There's 25 minutes left." Zayn glanced at the alarm clock in his car.

"Can it be faster?"

"Of course, princess, I'll drive the car at high speed" Zayn said, making Zara smile amusedly.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night like this out of the house?" ask Zara curiously.

"My wife is cravings, asking for a midnight snack like this." Zayn complained.

"Yes, Anya is pregnant and she's been torturing me continuously since my first pregnancy."

Zara smiled again, "You must be patient to become a great Papa."

"Ck, I've even been great since I became Raisa's father."

"Ck, that's so arrogant."

Zayn's turn chuckled, though,

"I'm here, I'll take you until you get the bus" Zayn said, releasing his seatbelt.

"It-no need, besides the bus is already there. Thank you very much for taking me to the terminal."

"No, I'll keep you on the bus, you know midnight like this is crime-prone and I don't want anything to happen to you." clearly Zayn who was finally immediately diyakan by Zara.

Zayn not only escorted Zara to the bus but also waited for her bus to leave,

"Thank you very much, say hello to Anya."

Zayn nodded and smiled, "I also thank you for your words at that time that made me realize that I love Anya."

Zara smiled, "May you be happy."

"Yes, you too."

Zara's bus finally left Zayn who was still standing there.

"Actually what happened to you and Sean, you look very sad." murmured Zayn who was actually curious but did not dare to ask Zara for fear that Zara was getting hurt.

Zayn immediately returned to the car, he still had to drive around to find a seller in the middle of the night like this.

Because of frustration not finding a seller seblak finally Zayn chose to go home and make it perfunctory by plagiarizing the recipe on youtube.

Somehow it feels, the important thing is that Zayn has tried to obey Anya's wishes.

"How does it feel?" zayn asked as Anya began to feed the seblak into her mouth.

"Enak, buy where?"

"Haaa, what's that good?" asked Zayn who finally tasted a little bit of his artificial seblak.

And it's true that it tastes so good, Zayn doesn't even believe he can make Seblak this good.

"Why?"

"It's my own making."

"Haaa?" Anya seemed to be in disbelief.

"I've been going around and I didn't find a real seller in the middle of the night like this so I made it for you."

"But why did you come out so long?" ask Anya who immediately makes Zayn nervous.

"Ehm, Anya I'm sorry baby I actually met Zara and drove her to the bus terminal so maybe that's why I'm out for a long time."

The spoon Anya was holding immediately fell down after hearing Zayn's remark.

SERIATE...
