The Complicated Love Story

_Zain and Merisa (Part 2)_

In the Car,,

Merisa and Zain were just both speechless at this moment. Merisa and Zain did not sit close together, because Merisa wanted to sit behind the wheel of the car. Feel uncomfortable with the situation they are silent to each other, then open the topic of conversation to eliminate awkwardness.

"Zayn..Brother Zunairah is a very kind and friendly person, how many brothers are you?" Tanya Merisa behind the wheel of the car.

"Yes, Brother Zunairah is like that, I am also amazed by him. I still have one more brother named brother Zanah. Brother Zanah is Fikry's mother. " Said Zain while glancing at Merisa from the rearview mirror of the car above him.

"Mmm..iya, what about yourself? does it exist?" Ask Merisa to Zain.

"Hows it? what does that mean?" Zain asked back, pretending not to understand.

"Don't you have someone special?" Tanya Merisa was curious.

"I still haven't found someone who's right Merisa.." Zain replied with a glance at Merisa from the rearview mirror again. Seems Merisa's face is upset.

"Meris, can I ask you something?" Ask Zain To Merisa seriously.

"Well, just say it!" Answer Merisa.

"At 7 years ago, After graduating from school (SMA), where did you go? why didn't you tell me? and you have no news?" Ask Zain to Merisa.

"Sorry Zain, I didn't tell you and I didn't tell you either." Reply Merisa a little sad.

"But why? reason?" Ask Zain curious.

"Because....." Answer Merisa.

Flashback 7 years ago,,

Umi Merisa approached Merisa in her room. And talk about something important.

"Sorry, you are now graduating from school. You want to go to college too, right? Umi hope that at this time you have to focus on college, baby, you can not date or be close to other men." Umi Merisa said by stroking Merisa's hair.

"But why Umi?.." Tanya Merisa looked at Uminya's face.

"Because Umi has betrothed you to the son of Umi's best friend Darling, his son is good and handsome." Umi said Merisa with a smile.

"But Umi, I like someone. I'm close to him. Even though I was with him just a friend, but I really liked Umi. That guy's really nice Umi.." Says Merisa with teary eyes.

"Honey listen to Umi, right now your feelings for her are just love, your path is still long, sometimes such feelings are only a moment. Since you're always spending time together, maybe it's just comfort." Umi Merisa said persuading Merisa.

"But Umi... how can it be? I've loved it 3 years." Merisa said sadly and her tears fell.

"Honey, Umi please listen to what Umi says. This is also for your good son, you must pursue your ideals, after you get it Umi will soon marry you to Rendi son of Umi's friend." Umi Merisa said.

"But Umi... What about my feelings?" Tanya Merisa is still crying.

"Darling, forget that uncertain feeling of yours, you are still very young. Such a feeling sometimes comes and can go away with time." Reply Umi Merisa asserted.

"Are Umi really going to match me even if I'm against it?" Tanya Merisa sobbing.

"You don't know Rendi, son, he's nice, handsome and very friendly. You'll fall in love with him. Moreover, he had great respect for both his parents." Reply Umi Merisa by staring at the face of Merisa.

"Umi always gives you the best baby. Umi loves you very much." Umi Merisa said by stroking Merisa's hair that was still down crying.

Merisa who heard the words of Uminya just fell silent, she could not say anything more, her feelings were mixed. Between sadness, worry, worry, and feelings of anxiety.

Relieves to run what Uminya commands, while in college he only focused on learning, learning, and learning. Even his Senior and college friends, many were interested in him. But again he refused. Because he had not accepted the match, but he would prove to Uminya that he really liked his friend very much. And he wanted to persuade Uminya once more. Although Merisa no longer met her friend. But his heart said that his friend was waiting for him too.

Until finally Merisa has finished her studies, and she also got the job she hoped for. Umminya introduced Merisa with Rendi after, but Umi Merisa's hope was not granted. Because Merisa and Rendi both like someone and they oppose the matchmaking.

After the incident, Umi Merisa was very sad, and often sickly. In the end, Umi Merisa died. Merisa was devastated by the departure of Uminya.

Someone Merisa likes is a classmate, study friend, and close friend. He is none other than Zain, He is Zain Ibrahim.

Until now, Merisa still has feelings for Zain. When he met Zain, his heart was really happy and very happy.

Back to the present, now,,

Zain was still staring at Merisa from the rearview mirror. He was already very curious what Merisa would say. Because at this time Merisa was just downcast with a slightly sad face.

"Because.. I just wanted to focus on college, and at that time I really didn't want to bother you to achieve your dreams. I'm sorry Zain I didn't tell you when I went to college outside the city to reach my goals" Merisa replied guiltily.

"Why Merisa? don't we know each other? I really didn't expect? you're going to leave without saying anything? have we been friends for a long time? don't you have a little feeling for me?" zain asked Merisa until she was unaware of the last question she said.

I was surprised by Zain's last question.

"Feelings?..." Ask Merisa to Zain.

Hearing Merisa's question, Zain was immediately shocked by her own question.

"Mm..huh.(blowing slowly his breath) Yes Merisa I like you when 7 years ago, and you know even now I still like you even though you have no news at all." Zain said solemnly.

"Is that really Zain? are you really?" Tanya Merisa with a wide smile.

"Yes, I mean it, I'm sorry I should have said it first." Zain replied with a feeling of relief.

"I liked you a long time ago and until now, I still like you. I'm also sorry to leave without saying anything to you. I'm sorry.and I have a reason why I didn't tell you and that reason also makes me very sad.(.Finally Merisa told all to the real Zain)" Merisa said with a feeling of relief.

Zain already understood what had happened, but even though it was arguably too late but Zain was grateful that he liked it so far as well. His feeling was relieved to hear the words of Merisa. And his heart was now so happy, that someone he wanted to fight and defend was right now near him.^^^____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
