RED STAINS OF LOVERS

I'M JEALOUS

***

Clara was still looking at her phone screen, rereading the message she had just typed. Clara hesitates when she sends it to Zidan.

For some reason since waking up earlier he wanted to eat putu cake, a food made of glutinous flour mixed with grated coconut and brown sugar, then steamed. He tried to ignore it, but that desire could not be held back.

Other than Zidan he doesn't know who to ask? Franda ma'am? Clara was disinclined even though the woman had said not to harbour her wishes.

Clara finally decided to call Zidan. And in the first ringing Zidan immediately picked it up.

"Dear what's going on?"

Clara did not immediately reply, she was silent with Zidan's call to her.

"Hello, Sella, are you still there?"

"I-iya still, Zi."

"Did you call me in the morning, miss?"

"What the hell, Zi, just kidding me." 

"Hahaha, are you ashamed?"

"August …"

"OK, okay, sorry. What's the matter in the morning when you want to eat something?"

"I-yes, that .. I .. I want a cake."

"Now?"

"Yes now."

"Half hours."

"Huh? Meanin?"

"You can wait half an hour, right? I'll bring your order. Yes wait!"

Zidan disconnected without waiting for a response from Clara. Zidan prepares to find Clara's cake. And it did not take long for a Zidan Adi Mahendra, by just posting on his social media Zidan immediately looking for a place recommended by his fans.

"Who are you waiting for, come on in!" Franda asked as she saw Clara standing by the gate, she had just returned home from a vegetable shop in the next alley.

"Wait for Zidan, ma'am," he said without looking.

"You coming here?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"This early in the morning?"

"Well, why, Mom, I asked for it."

Ms. Franda scrunched her forehead. "You're asking? What's up?"

"That's .. I .. I want putu cake." Clara's not feeling well, she's afraid Franda's mom will be mad at her.

"Why not tell mom? Don't you think of mom?"

"That's not what Clara meant, ma'am."

Ms. Franda walked to the terrace and dropped her weight on the chair. Clara followed and sat down on the chair opposite to the table.

"Clara's not good, afraid to trouble mom."

"You don't taste good to mom, but good to Zidan? Weird?"

"Huh?"

"Don't you start liking Nak Zidan?"

"Huh? No, Mom, it's not like that." Clara's face was already as red as a tomato out of embarrassment.

"Yes it's also okay mom agrees you got married together, son Zidan. He's good and he loves you."

"Yes, Zidan is very kind, but .. Clara doesn't love him."

"Not not, but not yet. Love will come by itself. Trusting the mother. I never loved my husband, but over time I started to love him, and even loved him."

Yes, they used to be lovers before Harnum knew Darma. Harnum was present in their midst even though he was only a victim of the selfishness of his family. Franda's mother had known Harnum for a long time, they had been friends since they were both wearing gray white uniforms. 

After graduation Franda continued her studies abroad. Harnum was forced to marry the son of a rich man who after he returned to Indonesia Bu Franda only knew if Harnum married Darma.

And when her heart was breaking came January who treated her heart wound and married her. Franda did not know that Harnum was already pregnant with Darma when he was studying abroad.

"Mom's so lucky to have a husband like me."

Clara also wants to be loved by her husband like Franda's husband, but the fact is that the man who was given love from her actually trampled on her self-esteem.

Ms. Franda clasped Clara's hand on the table.

"You too will be loved by such a man."

Their conversation came to a halt when they saw Zidan's car coming into the courtyard. Clara immediately greeted with a sparkling face, especially when she saw Zidan carrying a crackle bag containing.

Franda's mom took them in. Clara greedily ate all the putu that Zidan had bought. They only saw Clara eating like a man who hadn't eaten in a year.

"You again." Clara lifted the plate that was empty.

"Huh? Want again? But you're done eating all." Zidan did not think, Clara had spent 4 servings of putu cake but she still wanted to add? Does a pregnant woman eat that much?

"But I want more, still hungry."

"But you've spent 4 servings of Clara later if you're satisfied how?" Franda also spoke.

"But I'm still hungry, ma'am."

"Tomorrow again, son, pity Nak Zidan if you have to go back to the market again."

Both of Clara's eyes glazed over, she really still felt hunger in her stomach. He never ate that much, but the baby in his stomach really still wanted to eat the cake.

Clara rubbed her stomach. "Please, son, we're going to the market for putu." 

"Don't!" They were in unison when they saw Clara was about to stand up.

"Let me go, you wait here I'll be right back." Zidan grabbed Franda's hand and kissed her.

"Prophey, I'll bring you another cake." Zidan rubbed Clara's hair and walked back before disappearing behind the door.

A sneaky smile fell on Clara's lips. Actually besides he was still hungry he was also about to test Zidan's sincerity on him. Clara wants to test Zidan once again.

Franda maam who noticed the smile shook her head.

"Next time don't be so anymore, pity Nak Zidan must be tired!"

"Why do you know Clara's lying again?"

Ms. Franda smiled and then moved from there to the kitchen, she was going to cook for the three of them.

While Zidan had bought Clara's cake, along the way his lips were always smiling until he did not realize there was a car following him since at the red light.

"I'm sure she'll definitely be at Clara's place." Yuan smiled meaningfully, it was not in vain that he memorized Zidan's license plate number so that when the red light was on he observed Zidan's car stopping right in front of his car.

So he decided to follow Zidan's car. He's sure Zidan will take him to Clara.

And it was true that Zidan met Clara who had been waiting for him at the gate. Clara smiled at Zidan, sometimes laughing so happily.

Yuan's heart burned to see him. He had seen that smile once before, he had also seen that laugh, but now he could only see it from afar.

"Clara, I'm jealous to see you happy but not with me. Do I have to forget about you and obey your will, keep Adelia for you?" mumbling itself.

Yuan immediately closed the windshield of his car as he seemed to realize his whereabouts then left the place.

'Like Yuan's car? But ... What is he doing here? Does he know I live here?'

"Do you see what the hell?"

Clara gasped and looked at Zidan.

"It's nothing, I was like. Mending us in, I'm hungry."

"Basic of the eater." 

"Wild, weee."
