NOT A PAYCHECK

06

Zara entered the Father's room with her head lowered. She was ashamed to be really embarrassed when she was caught eavesdropping on her prospective-in-law conversation and worse still the person who knew if Zara was eavesdropping was her own future husband, Sean.

Sean walks first and greets Zara's mother's father while Zara walks behind Sean.

"How can you enter? have you met outside?" ranti asks to see Sean and Zara coming in together.

"No, I'll see you there when he does"

"Zara bawain martabak, just bought it in front" said Zara cut off Sean's speech making everyone look at him.

Zara was embarrassed, so embarrassed that until Sean told everyone if he had eavesdropped, could father and mother be angry with him.

The door opened again, this time Mr. Anggara entered.

"What's wrong? how about silence?" astonished Anggara saw the whole room just silent while looking at him.

"Egh, it's Isya. Zara said she wanted to go to the mosque first" said Zara about to walk out,

"Eh wait," Ranti's voice made Zara's steps stop.

"Let's be cemented with Sean, it's not a good night girls come out alone" said Ranti pinching Sean's hand to code on Sean.

"What the hell is Ma, don't use pinch as well." annoyed Sean.

"Zara is okay aunt, besides there are many people" said Zara.

"Let's be escorted by Sean." this time Mr. Anggara who made a sound made Zara immediately nodded resignedly could not refuse.

Zara walks first, and Sean follows Zara lazily.

Zara immediately took ablution water and prayed when she arrived at the mushola.

After the prayer, Zara walked up to Sean who was just sitting in front of the mosque.

"Aren't you praying?" asked Zara to vent.

"I don't have a glove."

Zara smiled amusedly, "You're already wearing trousers, you can pray."

Sean stared down at the bottom of his pants, then looked back at the front indifferently.

"Sana pray first" said Zara.

"Why not pray?" asked Sean in a dislike tone.

Zara let out a long sigh, "Sholat is our duty as a Muslim, and you are the supposed Imam- candidate"

"We're back, it's done, right?" Sean asked, cutting off Zara's words.Stand up and walk first to leave Zara.

Zara let out a long sigh again, staring at Sean's back who was walking further and further away from her.

"Is the choice right? choosing a man who does not care about religion at all." Zara's inner self stood up and walked in Sean's footsteps.

Sean stopped making Zara behind him stop.

"Follow me!" sean said pulling Zara's hand made Zara startled and immediately released her hand from Sean's hand.

Sean who had just touched his hand made Zara's cheek feel hot as well as his heart that beat fast unbecoming.

"Why?" sean's surprise when Zara releases her hand.

"We're not married yet, how can you touch me?" asked Zara immediately hid both of her hands in the pocket of the game that she was wearing.

Sean was quite surprised by Zara's words, feeling disbelief. In modern times like this there are still women who do not want to be touched just because they are not married. Damn it, even though all this time no woman refused his touch, even many who offered themselves to him.

"OK, I won't touch it again." Sean raised his hand, convincing Zara to make Zara nod in confidence.

Zara follows Sean back from behind, and the two are now in the back garden of the hospital.

"Why what?" tanya Zara looked around. Dark and lonely.

"There's something I want to talk to you about." replied Sean sitting on one of the park benches and patting the empty bench next to him so that Zara would sit down.

"Here?" zara asked doubtfully.

Sean exhaled a coarse breath, "Why? scared?"

"Trus why?"

"If you want to talk not here.dark and lonely afraid of people nganggep we want to do strange strange behavior." explained Zara made Sean gawking in disbelief.

"Geez, we're just gonna have a conversation, it's not gonna be weird!"

"I'm just afraid of slander."

Sean seemed to be scooping his face in frustration, for the first time in his life he met a woman like this.

"Where do you want the truck?" sean asked, sounding annoyed.

"Where is the place crowded."

Sean got up from his seat, walked back without saying anything to Zara.

"We're there?" bargain Sean while pointing at a cafe in front of the hospital.

Zara immediately nodded in agreement.

The two entered the cafe, Sean looking for the corner place to be a little comfortable to chat.

Sean sat down first,

"Will this cause slander?" sean asked in an annoyed tone to see Zara who never sat down.

Zara shook her head slowly and sat down in front of Sean. The two ordered drinks before starting the conversation.

"What are you talking about?" zara asked after a long time the two were silent to each other.

Sean let out a long sigh then scooped his face in frustration.

"Why don't you refuse this match?" sean's question made Zara a little surprised.

"Do you want me to reject this match?"

Sean nodded, "We don't even know each other yet and have no feelings of love at all how can we get married" Sean said.

Zara was silent,

"Why don't you just refuse?"

"I've had no choice but to accept." Sean replied.

"So did I, who had no choice but to accept." Zara replied while forcing a smile.

"You're a good woman, Zara, and I'm not a good man, and I'm afraid that one day it will hurt you and won't make you happy." sean said that somehow made Zara's heart hurt a little.

"Then do we refuse this match?" ask Zara.

"Slowly, our parents are just as hopeful" Sean said.

"Then what do you want?"

Sean let out a long sigh, leaning his back on the chair.

"I just don't want you to overestimate about me because I'm not as good as I look.

"And if one day you find out there's another fact behind all this, I hope you can understand and accept." Sean made Zara's forehead shrivel.

"What other act?"

"Sorry Zara I can't say that.

"If you're sure to accept this match, I'll accept it too and once we get married I'll learn to be a good husband for you." sean said that still makes Zara curious about other facts that Sean had revealed.

"But what other facts is that?" Zara asked again because she did not get an answer from Sean.

Sean didn't answer, smiling, "What kind of marriage do you want Zara to have?"

Seriate...
