1. Zahra Story

"Crazy people!"

"Crazy people!"

"Crazy people!"

"Crazy people!"

"I'm not a crazy person! hahaha...." The mother laughed to herself, she ruffled her hair. Making the little boy who surrounded the mother even more happy to mock her.

"Crazy man, crazy man!"

"Hahaha crazy."

The little boy continued to mock and laugh, occasionally throwing small stones at the mother.

"I'm not crazy!" The mother was angry, she chased after many small children who mocked her, making the little boy even more happy to mock her.

"MOTHER!" Zahra glared in surprise when she saw her mother being mobbed by a small child, then she ran and hugged her mother to protect her mother from the stone throw. Then looking at the little boy one by one, he was very angry because his mother called words that hurt his heart.

"Go you! don't bother my mother!" he said a little snapping.

"Huuuu is not cool! Yuk runs off to the madman's rampage, hahahaha!" then run fast, because you don't want to get angry.

"HEH LITTLE BOY!" zahra shouted not to accept.

Zahra's heart throbbed in pain, she looked at her mother sadly. Fortunately he came, if it was too late to be sure, there must be a lot of injuries. Zahra shed her tears, saw her helpless mother, and her heart ached.

"Mother is calm well, there is Zahra here." while hugging her Mother tightly, she was very sad about her mother's circumstances. 

Zahra smiled softly, she held back her tears from falling. Zahra must be strong, she must not be weak, and help her mother and lead her home.

Arriving at home. Zahra calmed Rita–Hunya, then sat Rita in the dining chair. After finishing, then he began to cook, while watching his mother, afraid of why.

Eating today is quite simple, just tempeh, tofu and vegetables. Zahra is grateful, because today she can still eat, for herself and also her mother.

"Mom eat first yah." she asked with a smile.

Rita just stared at Zahra flat, it was common for Zahra. With care and affection, Zahra feeds Rita painstakingly. He smiled happily, because only this time Rita did not rebel, unlike yesterday-yesterday.

After everything was done taking care of his mother, then he went into his room, doing his duties for college tomorrow.

Even though Zahra's people don't have, he is very grateful to get a scholarship to college, it won't waste him heading into his future. Zahra will make her parents happy, her dear mother.

...---o0o---...

Before leaving for college, do not forget Zahra to prepare and take care of her mother first.

"Mother Zahra said college first well, after returning home from college Zahra work first, later coming home from work mother want nitip what?" her words were soft while smiling.

Rita did not answer, there were various ways for Rita to talk to her. However, that is impossible. There may be a time, he must wait patiently.

"Well, if you don't want anything, Zahra says yes." Rita brushed off Zahra's hand, as Zahra wanted to salim and it made Zahra sigh patiently.

"Zahra pamit, assalamu'alaikum." then went to the campus with his favorite motorcycle, it was his motorcycle for years to buy it.

...---o0o---...

Zahra smiled happily, apparently her lover was in her class. He immediately approached his lover, then looked at his lover with a big smile.

"Leo" he said happily.

Leo turned around, ahhh it turned out to be him. He stared at Zahra flat, it was common for Zahra.

"Leo's here to see Zahra? yes, I do." chuckling softly.

Leo looked at Zahra flatly. "No need to geer!"

"Keep Leo here for what?" tanyakanya.

"He's here to see me, not lo!" while pushing Zahra's left shoulder, fortunately she did not fall.

He's Caca, the guy who spoke earlier. Zahra looked at Leo who was not speaking, she instead looked at Zahra flat.

Caca hugged Leo's arm, he stared at Zahra sharply. "Darling we're out, it's not safe here to have a bully!"

Zahra was no stranger to seeing Leo like that, he did not want to bother better he read a book.

Ririn sees Zahra being treated like that her hands are clenched strong, her emotions are up, she does not accept her best friend being treated like that. Sometimes he wondered, what was Zahra's heart made of? he was too good, but he was always hurt. Honestly Ririn is very happy to have a friend like Zahra, she knows Zahra for a long time.

...---o0o---...

Finally the class is over. It's time for Zahra to go to work, he works at one of the restaurants not far from campus, it only takes twenty minutes until.

Even though the pay is not too big. But, that was enough for Zahra and her mother. If it is less it will work sideways.

"Sore to Damar." Zahra greeted her boss kindly.

"Sore is also Zahra." also replied by Damar.

Zahra changed her clothes, put on the maid outfit. It cleans dirty tables and also delivers menus as well.

He did it all with pleasure, it was all for his mother's sake. Zahra is kangen with her mother, what is she doing? is it okay? hopefully.

"Servant." Zahra looked up, she approached the table that had called her.

"What message do you want?" ask her kindly while holding the menu list in this restaurant.

"Caca, Le-" Zahra shut her mouth tightly, as she got a sharp look from Leo.

"Oh, oh, oh. It turns out you work." said Caca while watching Zahra from top to bottom.

"Can't afford to pay for college?!" he continued again, chuckling slowly.

"So your mouth!" said Fahmi on Caca Sharp.

It turns out that not only are Caca and Leo, but they are also with Fahmi, Gio and Riska as well.

Zahra just smiled, she ignored Caca's words that hurt her heart. "What message do you want?" tanyakanya.

"Gue is ordinary rich, Ra." said Fahmi, then nodding by him.

"Everything is the same" said Gio.

Then Zahra recorded their order. "Wait a minute, yeah." Then get out of that place.

Leo watched Zahra until she disappeared from before him. "It turns out he's working."

Fahmi felt sorry for Zahra. Zahra was too kind, he could not bear Zahra who was not considered to exist by his friend. Any girl would want to be treated like that, but her? it was as if nothing had happened. Zahra was really a very different person from other women.

"Gue hope you're aware" whispered Fahmi to Leo, making Leo stiffen, what does Fahmi mean? he doesn't understand.

...---o0o---...

Zahra came home at eleven in the evening, it was common. Zahra was shocked when she heard the yell from inside the house, she was very worried.

"Mother" he said as he ran.

"Let'soooooo!"

Prasggs!

Zahra hugged her mother tightly, she cried in silence. Fortunately his mother did not happen anything, even though he was injured on his forehead, because of the throwing of a flower vase by his mother. Zahra kept hugging her mother, she calmed down in her arms. Rita continued to rebel, she did not want to be embraced by her son.

"Deliver! I'm not hugged by you!" he said he didn't like it.

"Mother calm well, there's Zahra here." while continuing to hug Rita tightly, she was very affectionate towards her mother.

Rita continued to rebel. "Deliver!"

"Sa-sick Ma'am, Za-zahra Su-susah na-breath" said Zahra as she tried to remove Rita's hand from her neck.

Rita doesn't care, she keeps strangling Zahra's neck, which she wants her dead. She is gone forever and no one is disturbing her life.

Zahra could not stand it, she lost her breath, even her forehead kept bleeding, as a result of the flower vase toss. Rita continued to strangle, she looked at Zahra angrily.

"You must DIE!" he said while glaring sharply.

Zahra couldn't stand it, she squeezed. Zahra looked at her mother with a sincere smile from her heart. "I-mom Za-zahra sa-dear i-mom, forever."
