The Chased Heaven

Faked

The gusts of wind made the curtains of Zulfa's room move, blank gazes out the window had been Zulfa's habit for the past few days. Zulfa's body has been getting thinner lately because he rarely eats. Aulia Zulfa's mother was increasingly anxious because of her daughter's behavior.

This change in Zulfa's attitude occurred because of Joseph's proposal a few days ago, the Monday of Joseph's family came to Faqih's house to propose to his daughter and the answer Zulfa gave what?, what?, he accepted it but with a heavy heart.

Zulfa closed her eyes heavily, she wanted to forget yesterday's proposal which made her heart sad. The sound of the door opening made Zulfa stare at the door.

Aulia came up with a tray on top of which contained chicken porridge for her daughter's breakfast. "Zulfa love breakfast first, son, you'll be sick later".

"Just put it on the bun table" Zulfa said without looking at the mother.

Aulia just nodded in disappointment, she stared at the snack she had brought to her daughter last night with a sad feeling. The snack was not touched by Zulfa.

"Zulfa" said Aulia gently as she approached her son. "Eat son, you don't want to get sick".

Zulfa just shook his head. Aulia rubbed Zulfa's head gently. "In the near future, you don't want to be when you're sick that day".

Unknowingly Zulfa's tears flowed down her white cheeks, "Mother leave me alone".

Aulia was shocked to hear Zulfa's words, but she understood her daughter's feelings and nodded leaving Zulfa's room. After the departure of her mother, Zulfa laid down her body, covering her small body with a blanket. Zulfa was aware of herself lately getting thinner but she was stupid with it, her heart was not too strong to accept the reality of life.

When Zulfa wanted to approach his dream, the sound of hp notifications made Zulfa's drowsiness disappear. Zulfa saw who sent this early, and one name on Zulfa's phone screen made the girl's smile reappear.

"Dani returned to Indonesia" he murmured in disbelief.

Zulfa quickly replies to a message from Dani and tomorrow he will meet with Dani. Zulfa was happy, her heart was happy again somehow it could happen. Zulfa with a smile took his breakfast and ate it.

The sound of a hp notif made him stop eating, a message from Joseph. The smile that was a few minutes ago disappeared. Zulfa read the message and went back to eating his food, without replying to Joseph's message he was too lazy to do so.

After the porridge was finished, Zulfa returned the bowl to the kitchen and made Faqih and Aulia shocked by Zulfa's behavior. Because after Joseph's proposal, Zulfa was no longer out of the room, he was only silent in the room.

Faqih who saw that smiled sincerely, thinking that maybe his daughter had opened her heart to Joseph. While Aulia he was grateful that his daughter was willing to eat his cooking and pay attention to his body health.

Dani looked at the Jakarta monas with happiness, he stood there with a fluffy smile. The women who passed by looked on with a feeling of admiration.

"Beautiful" they whispered. Dani who heard that did not bother at all he was even cool to look at small children chasing each other. Dani now looks like an outsider, her hair dyed blond skin getting whiter and her clothes that look tight due to her muscles.

After moving to London, Dani changed her lifestyle. Getting new friends and new life, there are many women who adore Dani and often invite to have sex. But Dani rejects him he is still reminded of his religious teachings and Zulfa, one of the reasons he did not play with his girlfriend.

"Dani..!" this distinctive voice call made Dani look towards the source of the voice.Zulfa with red cheeks ran over Dani, he was tired from running towards the monas.

Zulfa looked at Dani not believing "You Dani?".

Dani smiled and nodded, Zulfa who got the nod Dani did not believe herself was really shocked. "You changed?".

"Why are you shocked".

"Yes" replied the plain Zulfa and made Dani anxious. "You're rich now, Caucasian Dan".

"Dreams anyway?".

"Yes, you're getting taller now, and your body is getting fuller".

"Fill in?, you mean I'm fat".

"Eh. No, I don't mean you're fat, but you add.." Zulfa stopped his words due to the swipe Dani gave.

"Why?" ask Zulfa to Dani.

"I miss you".

The deg!

Zulfa was silent, he looked into Dani's eyes. There are no lies in his eyes, he is honest. Zulfa could not bear if he told the truth, honestly Zulfa did not want to hurt Dani again.

Dani nodded and stepped her feet followed by Zulfa. Many pairs of eyes that observed the two of them were between awe and envy. The girls who were talking about Dani from behind are now heartbroken. There is also a confident person, if she is more beautiful than the girl next to her.

Zulfa only focused on listening to Dani's story about London life, he actually wanted to go there even if one day just see the sights in London.

Arriving at the cafe not far from the monas, Zulfa sat down with a feeling of fear. His heart was not calm he was waiting for Dani to order food for him.

"Nih, I pesen ice chocolate same cake for you" said Dani while putting the food he had ordered.

"Thank Dan".

Dani stared at the clingy Zulfa, visible from Dani's eyes if she missed Zulfa so much. Zulfa who had been seen by Dani cleared his throat so that Dani would no longer look at him and it succeeded in making Dani divert his opponent from Zulfa.

Zulfa exhaled heavily "And I want to tell you something".

"What story?".

"I don't know, this is good news or bad news for you".

"What is the Fa anyway?, you are bullied by Desi again or Hendra is sick to you?".

"No".

"Keep what?, you don't be afraid there's me here".

Hah, Zulfa's breath made Dani even more curious to know what Zulfa would talk about.

"And I'll.."

"What is the Fa?" ask Dani calmly.

"I'm getting married and, exactly, on Saturday tomorrow. I hope you come" said Zulfa at last.

Dani who heard that was silent, the glass that he had been holding since when he was on the table. Dani's face was shocked and seconds later she rubbed her face in frustration.

Hahaha, Dani's laughing. "Lo's kidding, right?".

Zulfa Gel is not a sign.

"Tell me, if you're joking Fa, this is really not funny at all".

Zulfa shook his head again, this time Zulfa lowered his head in fear.

Brak!!

Dani punched the cafe table so hard that the cafe visitors looked at Dani with a curious look, while Zulfa he began to cry while holding his clothes that began to get wet because of his crying.

"I'm sorry Dan" said Zulfa quietly.

"Lo knows no Fa, I hope to come here to get your heart. So you're gonna melt me and you know what?".

Dani pulled out a small box in his pocket "Gue came to Indonesia to lamar lo, he said, ask for your parents' blessing and I want to take you to London we live happily together there but what do I get?, the woman I love soon wants to marry another man".

"Sorry Dan, sorry".

"Sorry, there won't be enough Fa" Dani said in a voice that began to shake.

"Fa I want to ask, you marry me on the basis of love?".

"No Dan, I married a man of my choice because I wanted to be filial to my parents and, so understand"

Dani started squeezing his hair rough "Lo was not happy Fa, Zulfa heard me" said Dani then held Zulfa's hand.

"Follow me Fa, we're running away from here and living in London".
