The Love Rhyme of Kawa

SCK 15: Missing?

The earth is still wet by the heavy rain that flushed last night, the sun still feels ashamed to show itself. For almost a week Kawa has been at his house, his days filled with laziness and occasional out of the room. The message from Rendra was ignored. He became unsure about returning to his job.

"Color, come out yuk" Blue looked over the door, saw Kawa sitting by the window, her gaze still looking out, regardless of her sister's arrival.

"Balong..." Blue yelled, now he was in Kawa's bed.

"No ah, males"

"Well...Brother, will soon be back to work, and this will be mumpung I also have a holiday right" Blue sulked.

Kawa looked at Blue for a moment, it had been a long time that she did not go together with her sister.

Blue with the spirit of carrying groceries that he had just bought in a store. Kawa was just giddy looking at her sister's behavior.

"I haven't been shopping for a long time, at last...." Blue is happy, Kawa looks at her sister expressionlessly.

They decided to stop by a food court in the mall.

"Yesterday night Papa asked me" Blue opened the conversation.

"What?" ask Kawa.

"Abang why the old tumben at home, is it that brother is not going back there? if so, then Papa will introduce his brother to the media as a leader in Papa's newly opened company" Blue stirred his drink. Kawa remained silent.

"Papa wants to say the same difficult brother" Blue added.

Kawa understood what her father was doing, because he was lazy to talk about it.

"What is certain is that you do not want to be introduced to the public if you are part of the Arjuna Group" said Kawa. Blue looked at his brother in wonder.

"Why bang?"

"Yes, I don't want to" Kawa did not reveal the reason.

"Yes, that means you keep going back there, right? later I say Papa nih, or brother himself who told Papa, the time yes live in a house using intermediaries" Blue sebal.

"Yes yes.." answered Kawa lazily.

He himself was confused as to whether he would return to his place of work or settle back into this city. If he suddenly left that small town, it meant that he was a cowardly man for the second time. That the world will see him likes to escape from reality, from the problems he is facing.

For a week Zahra had not seen Kawa's nose, usually when she was shopping at the minimarket, she would see Kawa there. He felt he had a debt to Kawa, he had not had time to thank Dira perhal Kawa gift gift.

He wanted to tell how Dira happily got a gift from Kawa, a pink t-shirt with a picture of a pony and a story book with a pony theme. Dira was so enthusiastic and grateful.

Zahra took out her purse from her bag to pay for her shopping.

"Have you?" ask Rendra kindly.

"Have, uh..sorry..you're Kawa's friend, right?" zahra asked somewhat doubtfully.

"Yes, his friend Kawa, his friend Tania, and has been home, yes." replied Rendra with a small laugh.

Zahra smiled, actually she was clumsy to start the conversation.

"Yes I remember"

"Why?" ask Rendra.

"That, Kawa..." Zahra doubtful.

"Oh looking for Kawa? He was on leave and went home" he replied, either "home" proper name or not, because it is not in Kawa's real home village. "There's something I can say, with pleasure" Rendra offered.

Immediately Zahra shook his head, "No, here's the money" Zahra paid for the money.

"Oh kirain" Rendra received the money and gave Zahra change.

"Thank you"

"Yes together, don't forget to come again" said Rendra kindly shortly after Zahra arrived at the door to leave the store.

        Zahra was sitting in the front seat of the mirror, for several days her father had not brought up her husband and or was angry with the man who intended to propose to her. Is this a green light? has his father been softened?

Zahra smiled at Dira, "So Dira asked what?"

"Oh...Why did Mommy Sudha meet with Om the gift giver?" Dira repeated the question.

"But baby, Mommy hasn't met Kawa"

"Oh, her name is Kawa?"

Zahra nodded with a smile.

"Where is Mother?" ask Dira plain.

"Om on vacation, coming home, his house is not here" Zahra explained as simply as possible so that Dira understood. Dira nodded.

"When will Om return? Dira wanted to meet Om Kawa" Ceplos Dira, making Zahra rather surprised. "Dira wants to thank Om Kawa directly" he added.

"Have you eaten yet?" Zahra took another topic so as not to discuss Kawa again.

"Had Bun, it was the same grandma"

"Well, it's time for Dira to sleep"

"Yes Mother....Dira sleeps first huh..."

"Dear, don't forget to pray" Zahra reminded.

"Yes Bun"

Dira left Zahra who was still sitting in her chair earlier. Even the little Dira was happy with Kawa. Zahra reviewed her smile, as soon as she regained her senses, she immediately threw out the smile. Does he miss Kawa?

Zahra closed her eyes, she did not want to get too late in her imagination. Who would want a widow like her.

***

Rendra looked desperate, messages and phone calls from him, no response from Kawa.

"Where the hell are you?" rendra said to Tania, "Kok did not say that Zahra was married" Rendra was angry with Tania.

"Just be horrified first" Tania did not want to be blamed just like that.

"What?"

"So this way, Zahra's family was new in this village, about a year ago yes, I know Zahra, close and equal to him, but he also did not want to open with me, but he also did not want to open with me, but as far as I know he's married..."

"Well, right....." Rendra cut.

"Don't cut the talk first..." Tania's upset. "Dengerin first"

"Yes....."

"So she married a member of the army, but died, only.cuma yes"

"Galak is like his father" Ceplos Rendra. Tania laughing.

"Why? didn't they?" Rendra.

"so"

"So the point is Zahra doesn't have a husband now, right?"

"Yes"

"Well, if this is clear, Kawa became heartbroken, very strong"

"Why am I being wronged?" Tania laughing.

"Yes, you're wrong"

"Yes, later when it comes back, explained so, do not be discouraged first if it really likes Zahra, release him from the shackles of his father" said Tania excited.

Rendra no longer contacts Kawa, she is convinced that her best friend will return. Back to her love fight.
