The Journey of Love Shofia

Does That Feeling Still Exist?

Prok prok prok voice applause echoed from outside the room. Shofia used to receive that applause with her band members. Now the applause was aimed only at him.

Shofia stood up and raised her hand. Then fold his hands in front of his chest while bowing half his body.

"Thank you, thank you."

"Mother is great. Teach us dong ma'am."

"You guys have an art lesson. And I think there's already material on how to play the equipment here. Why don't you guys try it?

All quiet. It was true what her beautiful teacher said. In class they were taught that material. But they always find the lesson unimportant and interesting. But after hearing the live game earlier, now it seems like they changed their minds. Now they feel that the material is important to learn.

"Mom wants to teach you to play the musical instruments that are here. But on condition that you must understand the basics. So later it will be easier to accept mother's explanation of musical instruments here. Hows it? Are you willing?"

"But it's hard ma'am. If we just imagine it." replied one of them.

"That's because your determination is still less strong. Alright. Please rest. And if any of you meet the conditions that you said earlier, you can meet me immediately" said Shofia who made the disciples scatter to continue their rest.

After all the students leave, Shofia approaches Jo's guitar again. Put it on her body, sit on Jo's pride chair. Slowly Shofia plucked the strings of the guitar. A sweet voice echoed.

The faces of Zakaria and Jo slowly alternately appeared in his heart. Shofia did not know why it had happened to her. Then she started singing. Shofia is currently singing a song from Drive titled Bersama Bintang

With Stars

The twilight is changing night

Closing a tired day

Where you are

I don't know where

We've been through it all

The cry of laughter

Now it's just a string of words

That's all I got

Reffs....

Sleep good night

Forget only me

Get your sleep

With stars

Take time without you

Farewell is not sorrow

Even if it has to leave a wound

the Back to Reff...

Forget about me

Forget Me

Dream in your sleep

With stars

Mom Ema noticed Shofia's facial expression while singing. On his face was a deep longing. Shofia hasn't changed since. He is very good at singing songs. He sang very much to the song he was singing.

But that was not the concern of Ms. Ema from earlier. It seems like Ms Ema caught another one in the song when Shofia sang it earlier. Like that song was meant for someone.

"You're remembering someone Shof?" ask Ema. He dared to ask. Moreover, the question is personal.

"Yes Mom. I can't hide anything from my mother." Shofia smiled wryly. The teacher in front of him could always read his heart. "Mrs Ema is a servant?" continued.

"Where is there such a thing? You can hide all your feelings from anyone. But not from mom. I've known you from when you started forming into a girl." It is true what Mom said. Mom has been like her mother for a long time. He knew Shofia better than Shofia himself.

"You remember? I used to know your feelings for Jo. Even then you desperately reject your feelings. Even to the point of making Jo like a madman. And the last time it docked at Sundari." Ema sighed. "You were so cruel Shof that you could do that to Jo."

"Mom still defended her. Mom used to only look at it from her side. Can't you see it from a point of view as well?"

"alright. Maybe this time it's time for me to hear the reason for your cruelty." Shofia. Not yet explained, but the allegations he has got.

"I wasn't ready, Mom. We are too young to think of such a thing. I just think Jo's obsessed with me. I think he just wanted to protect me from the men who always teased me. I don't know if Jo's feelings are so deep. Who would have thought if a child like Jo at that time could have a deep love. Well even then I might have felt the same way." Shofia scratched her nape.

"But I saw it clearly when it was Shof."

"That's mom. I wasn't. I'm the one who still feels that way

"But Jo's feelings for you are really big Shof." said Ms. Ema excited.

"Already ma'am. It's just the past. There is no more Jo around us. So what else to fuss about. Maybe Jo already has a wife. Even kids!" both silent. Thinking of what Shofia had just said.

'But I'm sure Jo won't forget Shofia. Given how Jo felt and struggled at that time. I'm sure Shofia is still in Jo's heart to this day.

'What if Jo is married? Why does my heart hurt when I think about it. What's with my heart...?' inner Shofia.
