The Enchantment of the Former

Fattan

Shazna picked up the tissue given by the man who approached her. Removing the tears that flowed soaked that beautiful face. The man who turned out to be Fattan opened the lid of a bottle of mineral water. He thrust at Shazna without a word spoken from the man's lips. Shazna turned her head for a moment at the man staring inside her.

'' Thanks, '' Shazna said as he took the bottle from Fattan's hand. Fattan smiled faintly and nodded. Shazna drank mineral water straight from the bottle. Afterwards the woman bowed, staring at the pair of shoes she was wearing.

'' Who was that woman?, asked Fattan after a while the two sat in silence. Shazna sighed while raising her head. But the woman's gaze was straight ahead.

'' My fiancee's mother, Shazna replied expressionlessly. Fattan leaned her body on the chair. The man's look looked foggy. His heart shrieked, realizing that the woman beside him was no longer alone.

'' Didn't approve of your relationship?, '' asked Fattan without looking at Shazna. The woman just nodded. Then Shazna stood up from her seat.

Looking at the movements of the person beside him, Fattan turned his head. The gazes of the two met, for a moment they fell silent.

" Thank you," said Shazna, cutting their eyes with their hands raised a bottle of drinking water that contained half the water. Fattan nodded with a faint smile.

Shazna was about to step up as her head felt throbbing. Reflexes holding his head. Fattan, who saw Shazna holding her head, stood up and grabbed the woman's shoulder.

" Shaz!," exclaimed Fattan with a panicked look.

With a slight stagger Shazna grabbed the back of the chair and returned to sit there . Panicked Fattan knelt before Shazna holding the woman's hand.

'' We go to the hospital, your face is pale, said Fattan who saw Shazna's face that looked pale. Shazna who was still closing her eyes only shook her head slowly.

'' It's okay, later it's okay too, '' Shazna replied as she blinked her eyes.

'' How is Shaz?, your blood pressure was so low yesterday. You should rest today . You are too tired you lack of sleep, said Fattan, the man's face was so worried to see the state of his woman.

'' You haven't had a chance to eat, have you?, haven't taken medicine either. Now find food first after taking medicine, added Fattan, Shazna looked at the man who was still kneeling before her with a worried look. He cannot deny the heart. If the pound is still there even though it is faint .

'' I have to go back to the office, the break is over, '' Shazna said as she looked at her watch. Fattan was clucking, then without permission, Fattan stood up and lifted Shazna's body.

'' Fattan is crazy you, down, '' sis Shazna in a sling that Fattan is not covered in at all by the tall man. Shazna hit Fattan's arm while struggling to get down from Fattan's sling. But the man did not budge, walking with definite steps towards his parked car not far from there.

'' I will not let you go back to the office, you must eat well and get enough rest. Let your health improve, said Fattan, sitting Shazna in the front seat and wearing a seat belt on Shazna. Shazna smiled cynically in response.

'' Is it because you're a doctor, do you feel you have the authority to force like this?, ''' asked Shazna as Fattan was still lowered and put on her seatbelt. Fattan raised her face, making their faces so close that they might even be less than an inch away.

'' Not because I am a doctor, but because I am Fattan and you are Shazna, '' said Fattan with a face that gets closer to Shazna's face, making the woman turn her face.

Looking at Shazna, who looked wrong, Fattan turned her back and stood up straight, then circled the car to get in and sit behind the wheel. Without asking Shazna, Fattan drove her car away from the office where Shazna worked.

Shazna no longer asked, she chose to be quiet along the way. His eyes straight ahead. Not caring for the eyes of the man beside her who had repeatedly stolen a glance at her.

Arrive in a clean whitewashed house with a yard that is not too broad but looks beautiful. Mango trees and water guava trees look lush on the right left of the yard. A small garden with a variety of flowers looks well maintained. The basketball court next to the house and one beside it there is a small pond, in the middle of which there is a fountain. A swing is on the other side of the pool.

Shazna was fixated as her legs got off the car. The scene before him seemed familiar in his conscious realm. But he could not remember where he had seen such an arrangement.

'' How has it been like your dream home right?, '' Fattan's voice resuscitated her from daydreams. True, he had dreamed of having a simple but beautiful house. And the man built his house just like his dream.

'' What do you mean by all this Tan?, '' asked Shazna with eyes not separated from the view around the house.

'' Our dream home, I made this house for me to present to you Shaz. Because I always believed that you were my destiny. The one who will be the mistress in this house, replied Fattan who was standing next to Shazna who was still stunned by what she saw.

'' Why '', '' asked Shazna. He looked at the face of the man beside him. The two throw one another a look. Fattan gave a gentle smile, making Shazna quickly throw away her face.

'' Because, my feelings are still the same as they used to be Shaz, '' said Fattan. Shazna pulled the corner of her lips. He painted a slanted smile without looking at Fattan.

'' It was you who decided to leave me and it turned out that you were still confined within the circle of the past. You allowed yourself to stop in place, Shazna stopped talking for a moment. Looking at Fattan and looking at Fattan with a flat gaze.

'' I'm no longer the Shazna I used to be. I've gone too far running away from my past stories. Wake up doctor Fattan Ghifari do not let sleep lull you until you think it will be real, Shazna continued without letting go of his gaze on Fattan.

Without Shazna guessing, the man grabbed Shazna's hand holding the woman's two hands.

'' As long as the one around your finger is not a wedding ring for that long as I will try to realize my dream, to make you a mistress in this house ,'' fattan said as she rubbed the ring around the woman's finger.

'' And after what I saw today, it made me even more confident to return everything where it should be. Because you should be by my side, continued Fattan while carrying Shazna's hand approaching the face about in her kiss. But Shazna forced his hand before Fattan could kiss him.

'' Your crazy son Tan, '' Shazna's whistle was just in Fattan's little laugh. The man again grabbed Shazna's hand.

'' Yes I was always crazy if it was about you Shaz, now come on in !. I'll cook you lunch, ''' take Fattan while pulling a small Shazna wrist to let the woman follow her steps into the house area.
