Zaid Brightly

Silently for most of the day Zaid observed Sara. Before her now stood Sara with a cold and unreadable aura. Even when customers came and ordered coffee or other menus from Coffee Bay and Sara smiled, Zaid knew for sure that Sara was not okay.

After all, Zaid remembered his mother's story that women were masters at hiding everything. Behind the smile on his face, it turns out that a woman's heart is holding sorrow. Behind the laughter they were showing, it turned out that a woman's heart was being sliced with pain. For that, women are creatures that are so good at keeping secrets and feelings. What was shown outside could be contrary to his heart.

To that end, Zaid chose to shut up and observe Sara. In his mind, Zaid was very sure the smile that Sara was showing right now was just a mere smile of formality. Even this morning when he met, Zaid saw how Sara's eyes looked damp.

“You didn't go home, Zaid?” sara asked the man slowly.

The existence of Zaid itself in Sara's Coffee Bay is indeed influential. The man who was actually just a business partner for Sara was actually so fond of spending his time in Coffee Bay. In fact, not infrequently, Zaid keeps a front guard who is ready to help Sara and the employees at Coffee Bay.

“No, I'm waiting for you,” replied Zaid.

Hearing Zaid's answer slowly, Sara sat in front of the man who had been her friend and helper during her time in Bogor.

“I can go home by myself, Zaid .. Besides why?” ask Sara at the end.

“Can't you share every wound, every sorrow in you with me?” ask Zaid at the end.

When Sara heard Zaid's question, Sara stood back up for a moment before closing Coffee Bay and returning home.

“Let's go home, Zaid .. It's night,” take Sara.

But Zaid shook his head. The man had to talk to Sara. For that, Zaid also took Sara to drive for a moment with his car.

“Ayo ... come with me for a moment to breathe fresh air,” invite Zaid.

Unable to resist, Sara enters Zaid's car. The woman just sighed and guessed where Zaid was going to take her last night. Apparently not long ago, the car was now stopped at every city park.

“Sara ...,” call Zaid to the woman who is now sitting next to him who is none other than Sara.

“Hmm, what?” reply Sara.

“May I speak something honestly to you?” ask Zaid.

“Iya,” sahut Sara with brief.

Zaid sighed slowly and the man spoke again, “To be honest .. I like you, Sara. If you ask since when? Ever since we first met at the Coffee Lab I've been interested in you. It's not that I didn't know that you were pregnant and had a husband at the time, but in fact the feeling grew on its own. Now, can't we do Sara's exploratory work? I am single, and so are you. We can both try it, and you can reopen the new sheet,” the confession finally came out of Zaid's lips.

Sara who listened to him was dumbfounded. Didn't think that Zaid would speak his feelings to her. Sara feels uncomfortable with Zaid right now. The atmosphere in the car turned silent.

A few moments later, Zaid spoke again.

“I'm sad if you keep everything by yourself. I am sad every time I see you moody. I'm sad because you're taking on all your own life's problems. You can share with me, Sara .. I will voluntarily give my ear to listen to all your stories,” Zaid replied.

Slowly Zaid took off the seat belt he was wearing, Zaid's hand moved to hold Sara's hand, but Sara quickly dodged. He doesn't want to be touched by men anymore. Not to be disrespectful, it's just that Sara doesn't want a man to touch her.

Seeing Sara's evasive hand response, Zaid smiled. The man rested his back on the steering wheel and spoke again.

“Do you not want to open a new sheet, Sara? I will accept you no matter what your circumstances. I will not mind your past,” Zaid said again.

 This time, Zaid spoke honestly. Zaid feels like Sara, not caring about the woman's past. Precisely when Sara admitted and told her past that was so strange that there was precisely Zaid wanted to be a place to lean for Sara. The man wanted to be the one who was always there for Sara. Even Zaid was willing to leave his cafe only to be able to linger with Sara in Coffee Bay. It felt crazy, but Zaid felt he could not stay too far away from Sara.

“Zai .. sorry, I can't,” reply Sara in the end.

“We are both single, but our situation is completely different Zaid. I do not want to be in a relationship with a man anymore,” said Sara firmly.

Experiencing all the difficult times alone and also the uncertainty that Sara gets from the male figure in her past makes Sara no longer want to be in a relationship with a man. Sara felt that even if she were alive, she would live only for Evan, her son.

“Why Sara, are you afraid of others and all her judgments?” ask Zaid.

“No... I don't scare all that. As long as we live, others will see us. Good and bad we will remain a judgment for others,” Sara replied.

“Lantas because what is Sara?” ask Zaid.

Zaid seemed to keep trying and find out what reason made Sara could not accept it.

Sara lowered her face, several times Sara seemed to close her eyes dramatically.

My problem with my heart is not over, Zaid …

I don't want to make you a mere escape …

Even though I have been freed from the bond, but the bond in this heart who can set it free?

If in fact there is only one name and one man who always stop at this heart …

I'm sorry, Zaid … 

Me and my heart are not completely okay …

Time has indeed passed, but the feeling in my heart actually remains imprinted in there …

Sara was only able to speak with her own heart, her lips closing perfectly as if she was unable to give an answer to Zaid right now.

“Jawab me, Sara,” pinta Zaid at the moment.

“I am a widow and have a son, Zaid .. Better look for a girl out there. Being in a relationship with a woman like me is too risky, ” said Sara.

However, in fact Zaid actually laughed and was seen shaking his head several times.

“It doesn't matter that you are a widow, Sara .. After all, there are many young people out there who are chasing the love of widows. So, what are you afraid of?” ask Zaid again.

“Can't, Zaid .. Even if I'm free of a marriage bond, I'm not ready for all this. Sorry,” reply Sara in the end.

To be honest there were other things that dominated Sara more at the moment. The thing that makes Sara choose to keep her feelings. Even though the love was completely unrequited, but it felt like Sara could not erase the feelings and bonds of love in her heart just like that. Yes, Sara admitted in her own heart that her feelings for the man who had stopped in her life were really not over.

For that, Sara did not want to add injuries and instead hurt Zaid with her own heart that was not completely finished. Sara understands her heart and feelings more, and doesn't want to start a relationship when her heart isn't fully settled. After all, half a year had passed, for Sara half a year was too soon to start a relationship again.

“So you rejected me, Sara?” ask Zaid again. As if this time Zaid asked for certainty from his question.

“Iya, Zaid .. sorry,” says Sara.

Sara had come to her decision. He had to reject Zaid for a special reason known only to himself. Sara did not want to accept Zaid just because the man had always been nice to her. It was better to refuse him, than to establish a new relationship with a sense of raging in his heart.
