Painting of the Universe Amerta

7. Time Started!

The weather tonight is very unfavorable, the rain is so heavy and in this place, in maja learning, Zahra is currently seeing rain from inside her room, she said, his hands touched the glass and his eyes looked at the rain with a smile.

The rain makes it difficult for everyone to move and even most of them do not like the rain. But, for Zahra the rain is a gift. Rain is like giving us peace, because it rains we can learn a lot that rain is like patience. Patience waiting for the rain to stop and patience that life is not okay, there must be twists and turns.

From there Zahra learned, that in this world there is no such thing as pleasure forever, there must be pain too.

Now that Zahra is sitting at her study table, her heart is not okay right now. Slowly he opened the drawer of his study table, his hand took his book, which he had always told me what he had been through, the diary.

Zahra opened her diary, picked up the pen in its place and slowly began to write.

For Dad

Hi Dad. Howareyou? Is Dad nice?

I'm sick Dad, I'm sick rich first again. Zahra takes care of Mom alone, Zahra doesn't know why Dad left us, Zahra doesn't know why Dad did that.

If only Dad were here, maybe Mom wouldn't be like this, maybe we'd be happy and it turns out.....

The reality is not like that.

Dad, Zahra wants to ask. Is Zahra really the child you don't want? Is Zahra really an illegitimate child? 

Mom said it like that Dad....

If it is true, Zahra still loves you, even though you do not consider Zahra to exist....

Zahra's hope is only one....

Zahra wants us to gather....

Zahra closed the book. He is not strong if he has to continue, it hurts so much. His tears slowly came out, he missed his father a lot....

Besides, he was also confused. His mother said he was an unwanted child, is that true?

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

Leo leaned his head on the sofa of his room, he closed his eyes for a moment. At this time he was so upset with his mother who always talked about Zahra, he did not think out.

"Akhh shit!" Leo flipped the vase before him, he really could not hold back his emotions.

"Zahra, Zahras. Always talk about him!" his hands clenched firmly, his eyes staring at the one sharp object that was before him.

Leo smiled obliquely, it's time....

Meet at the rainbow cafe!

After sending a message, he immediately rushed to pick up his jacket and car keys, then left from there.

Elsewhere, Zahra frowned in surprise. He was surprised to be so happy, because somehow Leo chatted himself and said that he wanted to meet.

But, wait a minute. Why did Leo ask him to meet?

Zahra did not think anymore, he immediately took his jacket and took the keys of his bike, tonight it was raining with it he was wearing a raincoat. But, before leaving he went to his mother's room, he smiled, apparently his mother was sleeping. After that, just go straight away.

When he got to the place, Zahra looked to and fro looking for the whereabouts of Leo and it turns out he was in the number 14 spot.

"Sorry late" said Zahra.

Leo looked, he just nodded slowly.

Zahra was sitting on an empty chair, not only Leo and himself. It turns out that there are Fahmi, Gio, Caca, Riska and other Leo friends. Zahra thought Leo would take him. However, his guess was wrong....

For almost an hour he just sat, sitting looking at those who were cool. His eyes looked at Leo who was making out with Caca right in front of him, Zahra could only be quiet, she did not know what to do. Now his eyes turned on his right shoulder, looking at Fahmi's hand that was embracing him, making him immediately throw Fahmi's hand.

Fahmi just smiled, then approached and whispered. "Gue knew what pain was like. Moreover, squirming his own girlfriend friendly with other girls."

Zahra was silent. If it's just like this, it's better he doesn't come here.

Leo glanced at Zahra at a glance, he smiled obliquely. "When it starts!"

"Why did you tell him to come here?!" annoyed Caca to Leo, he sees Zahra not liking him.

Leo sighed, then his hand stroked Caca's cheek and tucked her hair back. "He's here to treat us dear." smiling, then looking at Zahra at a glance.

Zahra glared in surprise, then she got up from her seat. "I'm sorry I have to go home." As I was about to leave, Zahra's hand was instantly blocked by Leo.

"Ettts where are you going? Don't you want to fuck us up, huh?" he said with a sweet smile, then sat Zahra back down.

"But Leo, I don't bring any money. I'm only here to find you." Zahra did not accept, she looked at Leo without thinking.

Leo rolled the lazy eyeball. "Lo senile yah? Didn't you say it yourself?"

"I'm not saying rich, I'm just here for Leo and I don't eat at all. I don't bring any money at all" he said again.

"Poor huuu!" tease Caca spicy.

Hearing that, they looked at Caca.

Riska is not silent, she is the same as Caca. Both mocked Zahra.

"Dad, how the hell are you, Ra!" Riska looked at Zahra not like it.

Others just watched, they could only listen without intervening. At first they were happy. But, seeing Zahra say it like that, made them shut up.

"Yah Zahra is poor. Zahra is not your rich man who has a lot of money!" he said while holding back his tears.

"Let me pay for this!" said Fahmi while standing up, and suddenly they looked at Fahmi and it made Leo immediately make a sound.

"Can't! He will treat us" said Leo, pointing to Zahra.

"Leo tapi aku gak punya uang, aku gak sanggup buat bayar makanan ini semua." ia menatap Leo memohon.

Leo shrugged his shoulders no matter what. "Let's unplug" he said, then they all left immediately.

"But—" when he was about to leave, Zahra's hand was immediately held by the cafe waiter there.

"Sorry to pay first" said the waiter.

Zahra sighed patiently. "My mother has no money."

"How do you tell mbak? Eating time is not paid!"

"What's this?" ask a man as he approaches them.

"This is the boss, this man won't pay" said the waiter.

"Don't pay, I don't have the money" Zahra said.

"You've been helping out in the back, that's instead" said the man and left immediately.

Zahra sighed harshly. Leo really did prank himself.

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

"Alhamdulillah is done." Zahra smiled happily, she could finally go home now.

Tonight was already showing at eleven o'clock last night and the rain from last did not stop.

Zahra stood in front of the cafe, hugging herself while waiting for the rain to subside.

Tin tin tin

"Let's go in, Ra." take someone.

Zahra wrinkled her forehead in wonder. "Mahimi?"

"Let's go in." said Fahmi a little screamed because the rain was getting bigger.

Zahra. "Sorry Zahra won't, Zahra's got a bike."

Fahmi gave a rough sigh, then got out of his car while wearing an umbrella.

"Come with me, the motorcycle business is safe. Later I tell others to make anterin lo motorbike" he said.

Zahra kept shaking. "Zahra doesn't want to take nicotine."

"Gue is not at all a hassle" he said, then clasped Zahra's hand and headed straight for the car.

During Zahra's journey, he was silent, he did not know what to say.

Fahmi looked to the side. "I'm sorry I couldn't help you" he said, then refocused on driving.

Zahra. "Don't apologize." smile, then face forward.

"Why is Leo Zahra so rich?" tanyanya slow.

Fahmi was silent, he could not answer. If I can be honest, he is just as upset with Leo who casually treats his own girlfriend. 

Where is his conscience?
