RED STAINS OF LOVERS

I LOVED HER

***

Clara's morning blind has been jarring, mengedumel unclear. That's because this morning he wanted to eat tom yam. Want to find where tom yam at this hour, tom yam usually only exist at night.

And of course if Zidan is not who else can be asked for help, the man is indeed reliable. Zidan was young, but he was very mature. Life forced him to grow up faster.

Zidan arrived at Franda's house at half-six a.m., Clara was waiting for him on the porch impatiently. He was very excited to welcome Zidan. It is like a wife who is restless waiting for her husband who never comes home.

Ms. Fanda helped prepare the food and arranged it at the table, after being ready to call Clara and Zidan who were chatting in the living room. Clara ate very well.

"Oh yeah, son Zidan, how did Nak Zidan get tom yam in the morning blind like this?" Franda asked because she was wondering why Zidan was so quick to get what Clara wanted.

Zidan smiled. "Easy, mom. I just made the status on Instagram if I want to eat tom yam. Directly follow me on the recomendation place."

Ms. Franda nodded in understanding. Yes of course for a blogger with hundreds of thousands of followers it is certainly very easy to get anything they will be happy to tell him.

Breakfast was warm with laughter from the three. It really is like a happy family. Clara laughed like she had forgotten her pain, and Zidan's presence reduced her heartache to Yuan a little.

Day after day Zidan still often came to bring what Clara wanted, and it made Franda's mother wonder if the young man loved Clara? Because there was no way Zidan would be so considerate of Clara if there were no feelings in her heart.

"Son Zidan, can I ask you something similar, son Zidan?" franda asked after making sure Clara went into her room to change her clothes.

Today Zidan deliberately came to take Clara to the park, although initially refused but after being forced to bu Franda finally Clara agreed.

"Yes, ma'am, what's wrong?" Zidan's heart was pounding, did he do anything wrong? Why did the motherly woman in front of him look at him with such a judgmental gaze?

"Son Zidan loves Clara?"

"Uhuukk, what-what, ma'am? Why do you think that?" Franda did not answer, just looked at her.

"Clara just thinks I'm a friend, nothing more."

'But I don't. I love her so much even though Clara only considers me a friend but I still love her. Always near him I'm happy' Zidan continued in his heart.

"That means, Nak Zidan loves her right?"

Zidan nodded slowly. "Well, even loved her so much. I would be happy if Clara was happy and vice versa. I would be so sad to see Clara as sad as yesterday."

Maybe she's too cute or what's clear is that she'll do anything to keep Clara smiling.

"Then why didn't it reveal to Clara?"

"I'm afraid it will ruin our friendship, I'm also afraid Clara will hate and stay away from me if she knows I love her."

"If he accepts, what will, son Zidan do?"

Zidan raised his face, looking at Franda maam who seemed to give him a green signal to go forward.

"I'm going to marry Clara, ma'am," he said steadily.

"Although Clara is pregnant?"

Zidan nodded. "Yes, I will still marry her even if she is pregnant not my child. I'll take it like my own son, ma'am."

Bu Franda looked into the eyes of eagle Zidan, looking for earnestness there.

"Then I approve of you. Give Clara happiness and don't hurt her."

Zidan nodded. "Sure, madam. I'll make her happy."

Before long Clara appeared from inside dressed, a small sling bag slung over her shoulder.

"Are you ready?" Ask Zidan while standing up.

Clara nodded and then looked at Franda. "Mom sure you don't want to come?" Actually Clara really hopes Franda ma'am comes with them, Clara like reluctant to be far from the woman.

Franda smiled. "You go, I take care of the house. I don't want to interrupt your date anyway." It was Zidan who was immediately wrong.

"What the hell, ma'am, who wants a date. Wong we're just friends. Is it Zi?" Nudged by Zidan's arm, the man smiled stiffly.

"L-yes, ma'am, we're just friends. Any Clara would like me anyway."

Franda saw a sad and disappointed look on Zidan's handsome face. 

'Very sorry, harboring love secretly is very torturous of course. May Clara open her heart to Zidan's inner mother Franda, she hopes Clara will soon realize that there is a man who loves her so much nearby.

They arrive at the park, Zidan invites Clara to sit by the lake next to him. 

Just near Zidan's parking lot looking at the hot air balloon seller and his hair, he remembers Clara liking both of them so she'll be there to buy them. 

There were actually florists as well, but Clara didn't like flowers. Clara is different from most women, if other women would love to get flowers from others, especially from a man, but Clara is not. Maybe it was because she was relaxed and indifferent, but from the gray-white age the girl was already like that.

"Make it, huh, Mas?" ask the balloon seller to Zidan when he picks up the balloon that Zidan chose.

"No, sir, but for my friend." Zidan received the balloon and gave the middle-aged man red money.

"Well, there's no change yet, Mom. Just bring it later if there is a small money, Mas, come back here."

"Eh, no mess, sir, just take the change. Let's just say it's alms from me."

"Subhanallah, thank you very much, Mas, may your wish, Mas, be granted."

"Aamiin's."

In Zidan's heart Zidan prayed that his wish was to live with Clara as a couple forever.

In addition to balloons Zidan also buy sweet arum or more famous with grandma hair.

With a confident step Zidan met Clara again.

"Clara must be happy, from the first time he really likes sweet arum same balloon character." Along the way Zidan smiled to himself, he did not care about the gaze of the one who saw him with a strange look.

Maybe in their minds they think if they are crazy because of their own smiles. Yeah, he's crazy. Crazy for loving Clara too much even though the girl was pregnant with the child of the person.

His steps suddenly stopped looking at the scene ahead there. Clara was being hugged by a man by force.

"I hate you!" Clara hit the back of the man who was hugging her.

"I'm not going to let you go. I love you, Clara. I'll take responsibility." The man hugged even more tightly though Clara rebelled by hitting and clawing her back.

But the man felt no pain. Clara's claw was nothing compared to the pain she gave the girl.

"lik! Sister lying. I hate brother. Unhand me!"

"Take him off!" Zidan's shout managed to make Yuan's embrace weaken, and the opportunity was exploited by Clara to break away and run towards Zidan, taking cover behind her wide back.

"Are you okay?" Zidan was very worried that something might happen to Clara.

Clara shook her head while sobbing. "I'm not papa, Zi." Clara clutched Zidan's arm firmly as if asking for protection.

"I'm scared, Zi."

"No fear, there is me." Zidan turned his gaze towards the man earlier.

Yuan turned his body to face Zidan.

"You …?" Zidan couldn't believe his vision. His brain thought hard. 

Yuan said he would be responsible, if so the men who had ruined Clara's future were Yuan, Adelia's lover-their best friend.

"Ck, you again. I have nothing to do with you. Give me Clara!!" Yuan said it cynically and glared his sharp eyes towards Zidan.

"No will. You have hurt him. Better stay away from Clara and don't disturb her life again!"

Yuan laughed at Zidan's words to be a bad luck hero to Clara.

"Are you ready Clara dares to rattle him?"

"I'm his friend."  

'The friend who loves secretly' Zidan continued in his heart.

"Hahaha .." Yuan laughed again and louder. "Friends? So just friends?"

Zidan did not reply, he clasped Clara's hand tightly as if afraid of the girl being snatched by Yuan.

"You love Clara, don't you?" continued Yuan still stared at Zidan full of hostility.

Zidan was silent for a moment, taking a deep breath. Perhaps this was the right time to reveal his heart to Clara even though the situation was not romantic.

"Yes, I love Clara and will marry her. Any issues?"
