The Love of Zarania

Section 165

The sky began to darken as Ipul drove his car home to the apartment he lived in, a not-so-large apartment that he rented with only one bedroom in it with the other room, even so the apartment remained a comfortable place for him as long as he was in the country.

"Isn't there something that's not true?" his murmur continued the anxiety that had been disturbing his feelings for so many days.

While driving one hand now holds his forehead that feels throbbing for some time.

Ipul threw everything he brought, from the car keys to the bag and shoes he removed hastily is now in the corner of the room near a large vase of ceramic flowers.

The man's apartment looked so deserted with some lights that he deliberately did not turn on not to save money but more because the residents who prefer a dim atmosphere like this, he said, a bachelor who lives away from family and sometimes prefers to sit alone on the living room sofa enjoying the night view in the city with lights that are not lit will only display the silhouette of his body being sitting thinking of a world that doesn't even think of him.

Ipul's hands twirled around a thin object in his hands that he used every time to connect with his family in Indonesia or friends at the company where he worked.

There was a lot of curiosity to contact someone but finally he was quite restrained to not contact him considering this was late enough and he knew very well that at this hour the person must have slept.

His forehead repeatedly frowned indicating he really did not understand what was going on, curiosity really haunted him, curiosity that he had been very resistant not to ask.

"Is he lying?" monologue.

"She just said she wanted to go on vacation and you let her, so why is there news like this now?"

Really, Ipul can not understand what complicated events he is facing, at first he felt very happy and calm even he forgot to contact his family, but after hearing all the news from his parents Ipul so wonder what exactly?

The breath sounds loud when Ipul has not found an answer, his curiosity will not be able to answer himself before he meets him.

"I'll ask him tomorrow" the final later.

It's better than having to keep all the questions to yourself.

"I'm sad, too," said Lugo, who now speaks to Davi by phone.

The man who had been waiting for the pleasant news from his best friend was even very surprised by the news he got, indeed, he never thought the wife of his best friend was even one of the victims of a plane that had an accident at sea.

It was very painful and Lugo also knew that, how deep the pain Davi felt until now Davi still did not talk much to him.

The man decided to return to Australia instead of continuing to mourn the passing of his wife, although he knew coming to Australia and living back in the apartment would again plague his memory of Zara, it doesn't matter because Zara will never forget.

Of course he does not want to forget he just wants to reduce his sadness just a little by doing busyness, wrestling with work in the company of one of them.

"That's too soon, you can come back whenever you want but not that fast" Lugo replied with a slight objection.

Davi smiled wryly looking at the trees near the lake where he used to do wild racing.

Breathing in because this lake was one of the places that became memories between him and Zara.

"Too long in this country even makes me crazy," he said looking straight and smiling painfully as his memory reminded him of Zara who had fought with her ex-boyfriend in that place.

Lugo let out a long, heavy breath, "it's fine if you think it's best" he said in surrender.

As a friend he certainly wants Davi to organize his heart first before returning to struggling with the busyness of the world, of course Lugo feels Davi will be difficult to concentrate later.

There was no answer from Davi, only his breathing still sounded very heavy and unstable there was certainly a shock in this man about a reality he had never imagined before.

"Let me know if there's anything at all, now I have to finish the paperwork for tomorrow's meeting" Lugo said, ending the conversation when Davi agreed.

At this time in Australia, it is certainly very late, and Lugo still took the time to contact him amid the busyness of the man.

Davi held his cellphone tightly closed his mouth and closed both eyes began to re-enter the eternal heart that was getting more and more stifling.
