The Love Rhyme of Kawa

SCK 24: Weighing Decisions

As a principled man, Kawa should not be weak. He had to behave, he had to put an end to this charade, about why he was hiding, for what he was in hiding continuously without this kind of certainty.

Being in this new, calming place doesn't mean he has to keep doing this. At least he should be firm on himself.

"If you really love him, you should say it" Rendra told Kawa, if usually Rendra is full of jokes and seriousness, now shows if he is serious. Kawa fell silent and tried to digest what Rendra had said to her.

"Now it's clear that Zahra doesn't have one, but I think she's a principled girl, she won't be like any other girl who's been raving and courting here and there, not for what, not for what, do you know how his father was?" Rendra suddenly remembered the horror of Mr. Latif who was like the bodyguard.

Kawa smiled at Rendra's words, right. Indeed Zahra is not a girl, and even more so his father's confinement that makes Zahra seem to withdraw. It felt like she was sitting together, getting to know him even further, asking about his life mission, asking about how the man he craved, and more.

Kawa rubbed her face.

"You can, make sure your heart, we as men must be firm, if yes, if not forget, even though I don't know how the girl feels, but I have faith that Zahra feels the same way about you" Rendra looked at her best friend.

"Sok knows" Kawa throttled.

"This seriously, I'll be the first to support this relationship"

Kawa saw Rendra, his best friend was really serious this time, visible from the expression of his face.

"If necessary, meet his parents"

Rendra's words were really firm.

"Crazy" answered Kawa.

"Loh do not.gini you know.if it is all okay, just say the same to your parents"

"The story is long...."

"What else?" Rendra looked anxious, why Kawa suddenly slammed like a crackling that for days out of his can.

"What if he knew the real me, would he accept?"

Rendra was silent for a moment, when viewed from normal glasses, Kawa is perfect, has everything, he is handsome and well established, who is the woman who will reject a man like Kawa? there is no feeling.

"Why are you so pessimistic?"

"Because there's a lot I think about"

"You know, at least you've been fighting before we actually got home, right? we can't stay in this city forever, right? you have a life other than here, and I'm sure you've also started thinking about that" said the soothsayer, but Kawa doesn't deny everything Rendra says.

"Zahra.ayah wants to talk" said Mr. Latif.

"Yes Dad"

They're in the living room, so is Ms. Latif.

Mr. Latif took a deep breath, "Had my father decided, I must accept if your husband really died" he said heavily. Zahra was excited in her heart, not about Altaf dying, but she was grateful that her father finally realized it. She is a woman without a husband now.

"Yes dad"

"Your husband is dead, and you are not the wife of people.At first father also heavily decided all this, but father also does not want to be selfish, your future is still long.

It felt like Zahra wanted to bow down in gratitude right now. His eyes seemed to be glazed withstanding the taste of haru.

"Just, you should know..must know how our family, we are a simple family, so I ask you to remember about your brother, not to be repeated"

Zahra nodded, Her father was very hard on Airin, probably until now. Airin has a wealthy girlfriend, Airin is pregnant and abandoned. That's why his father became very possessive of his son, especially Zahra for whom his future is still very long. With that background, Mr. Latif seemed to hate the rich who approached his son.

"For dad, rich people just like to play with people like us" he said in a raucous voice, apparently his revenge is still imprinted, especially for Dira's biological father who until now never once came to see Dira.

"So Father's message, if you want to be in a relationship with men, then Dad will be the front row in selecting, remember the message of father, do not establish a relationship with a rich man who will dump you"

Zahra nodded.

"Dad knows, you're more manageable, if you can learn from your sister"

"Yes dad"

"Later if one day you get married, Dira let your father and mother"

"But yeah..."

"Had thought mature, you have the right to pursue what you should get, it's okay"

This brief but strenuous conversation brought joy but also sorrow in Zahra's heart, she was now on the prayer mat, God granted her prayers, one of which softened her father's heart. Zahra wiped the tears that flowed from her two eyes. It's just that he is also sad if he later has to separate from Dira.

"Mas Altaf, may you be happy there, I will always pray for you mas, even though we are only destined to meet for a moment, this is our destiny, I do not blame the creator for this destiny, I do not blame the creator for it, I'm sure everything has become my way of life and there must be a silver lining" Zahra looked at the end of her alphabet, her eyes still wet with tears.

Now he doesn't know what he's going to do after his father lets Zahra "Life normally".

Zahra got up from her seat, she was still wearing her face. He took off the ring on his ring finger, then opened the drawer and kept the ring there. Her lips were.

"Thank you dad" he said softly, his smile expanding.

Still carried away with relief, even Zahra has not decided what to do later.

Death, soul, and fortune are the secrets of God.

"If he loves you, what will you do?" that question from Tania flashed in his memory, leaving him stunned. Zahra understood, what Tania meant was Kawa. What if Kawa really loves him?

"I think he's a good guy, right?" tania's sentence was back. Yes, he was a good man as far as Zahra knew, but too superficial too he concluded, since he did not know Kawa any further, he was only limited to knowing and speaking in general.

Zahra's phone read, there's a message. Not usually early in the morning there is a message that comes in, if usually Zahra never touch his phone if not in the morning, he was curious and opened the message.

Can we meet today?

The contents of the message, Zahra clasped her phone without replying to it, her heart was still worried. He just read it. Before long he put the phone back on the table not far from his bed.
