The Journey of Love Habibah..

The heart of Zelly

 

It has been several months since his meeting with Purnomo, Habibah tried hard to forget it from his heart and also his mind. Although it was difficult, but with the many activities he did. greatly helped him in forgetting the figure of the man. He was a little relieved because he had changed his mobile number and only certain people knew it.

But one night after the prayer, when his body just lay in his bed. Suddenly his phone rang with an unknown phone number visible on his phone screen. Once he ignored the call twice, when it rang the third time Habibah received the call.

" Assalamu'alaykum.." said slowly.

" Wa'alaykumussalam warrahmatullah." replied the voice at the end of the call.

" I'm sorry who's this with?" tanyanya brief.

" Are you unfamiliar with my voice, Nur?"

" Ehmm.. Mr. Zelly..?" tanyanya doubt.

" Thank God you remember me." said Zelly happily.

" Who did you get my phone number from ? " ask Habibah to know where Zelly got his phone number from

" From your mother." replied Zelly casually.

" What is it you're looking for me?" ask Habibah again.

" Yes kangen is Nur.. What if people call if long time no see because what? Debt loss? If you feel you have a debt, it's okay if you pay it off now." said Zelly still with his funds.

" Seriously dong sir, what's going on with my phone these nights?" ask Habibah impatiently.

" Stop it, sir,.."

" Sir again sir." interrupted Zelly..

" yes.. Can you stop talking nonsense? I asked this seriously..?" Habibah sounded increasingly upset at Zelly.

" I'm not bullshit, Nur. I'm serious that I miss you. I also don't know why I can miss you, but this kangen really is Nur.. Then how should I?" zelly said seriously..

" I don't know why, ever since you quit work I feel lonely there's no you. Maybe because all this time I've never met a girl like you. I know, we live far away. But I also don't expect you to be able to accept my feelings. I just want you to know about my feelings this is the same as yours. I can hear your voice I'm happy. As long as you want to take a call from me that's enough. I know myself as well Nur, I am not worthy of you. For me you are too special, while I am nothing compared to you. Honestly, I feel inferior if I have to deal with you. I learned a lot from you about a lot of things. Many new things that maybe I don't know or maybe I don't care even though I know. But ever since I know you, it has made me realize many things that have been far from my heart and mind. I became more understanding so meaningful and valuable things that maybe so far I trivialized and underestimated in my life turned out to be very important to understand and appreciate. Maybe all this time my attitude was so annoying to you. But honestly it was just to cover up my true feelings for you. I'm afraid that if you find out about my feelings you'll stay away from me. Besides, I myself tried to strongly resist this feeling, but I couldn't Nur. The more I tried to resist the more tormented he made me. Because I know you don't have those feelings for me at all. Now I frankly do not want to bother you, because I also soon have to go home to my parents to receive an arranged marriage. Although my heart won't, but I have no choice but to accept this match. Because they wait for me to make my own choice but I can't, because the girl I want can't be with me. Habibahs... Don't feel burdened by my words. Let's just say I never said anything to you. I just want you to know that all this time I've had a heart for you. That's all it is.. And maybe this is my last phone call before we get married, even though I hope it won't be the last, but we definitely won't be able to call again after we get married." finally Zelly expressed all his heart to Habibah. For some reason he suddenly felt so calm after saying everything.

" No one should like me, no one good from me could be the reason you like me. And I don't have to feel inferior in front of me because what I'm supposed to feel like is actually me. I am just a village person who considers it uneducated and does not understand much about the association. So there is nothing worth liking from me." said Habibah slowly.

" Who said you don't deserve to be liked? You deserve to be liked by everyone, because you are special. You're unique, that's why I told you during my new life I met a girl like you. You're a rarity, and maybe I won't be able to find a girl like you again. Although our age is far away, but it is true. I say this sincerely from my heart, I'm sorry if all this time I hurt your heart a lot." said Zelly softly.

" Both mas, I also apologize if I have done a lot of wrong either intentionally or unintentionally. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me, thank you for liking me. And may the real feelings of mas only be limited to admiration not because of love. But I still have to say thank you for everything. Sorry if I hurt or disappointed you. Oh yes sorry mas, it seems like it is late at night, can we end the conversation now because tomorrow I have to wake up early" said Habibah trying to end their conversation.

" Well, Nur, you're right.Tomorrow you have to work. Thank you for listening to all these expressions of my heart. Although only limited to expression, but I'm relieved now. At least I won't feel sorry for never telling you. Maybe from tomorrow I can just miss you. I hope you can be happy someday. And I hope someday I can still see you with a sweet smile on your face. All right Nur, good night.. Assalamu'alaykum." said Zelly ended his call.

" Wa'alaykumussalam warrahmatullah." replied Habibah.

He did not expect that Zelly had fallen in love with him all this time. He just understood why Zelly's attitude was felt strange in his eyes. It turned out that the attitude was only to cover up his feelings for Habibah alone. Special? What is special about me? Maybe the feeling of love is so, can make loved ones always feel special even though actually for others not special and ordinary. Well, Mr. Zelly, hopefully later you can be happy with your marriage..
