THE STAR OF HEAVEN
PART 16'S
As usual, at 4 am Zalynda's wiker rang. The girl squirmed while opening her eyes. For a moment Zalynda was confused and then Zalynda remembered, sleeping in her new room
Soon Zalynda was getting ready to welcome dawn. After fulfilling his duty, Zalynda immediately headed to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. At least Zalynda knows himself, not just a free ride in Ray's apartment even though Ray's apartment unit is already his
The ingredients in Ray's refrigerator are fairly complete for boys' standards. Zalynda immediately thought of making cheese macaroni with sausages.
"What is Za?"
That heavy voice distracted Zalynda. The girl looked. His gaze was transfixed for a moment to see Ray in a cocoa shirt and sarong, complete with his black peci. It looks like Ray just returned home from a mosque near the Ivory apartment
"Ng, sorry I was so presumptuous. I just want to make breakfast.."
Ray smiled as he pulled the chair. "Can you make coffee?"
Zalynda smiled back at Ray. The girl handed him a cup of coffee mixed with the creamer. Ray raised one eyebrow. This girl made it before she asked. Ray immediately sipped it
"Hmm.dwg. You know I like to drink coffee with cream?" Ask Ray
"Yes, if you go to campus early in the morning you like to order milk coffee to the cafeteria. Because there was a creamer, I used a creamer." Zalynda said while serving macaroni cheese that is ripe
As Zalynda handed over the spoon, Ray held the girl's hand. Zalynda looked directly at Ray
"You inget?" Ray asked with a big smile
Zalynda's face was red. The girl was a little misbehaved because she was caught paying attention to Ray while on campus first. Zalynda slowly withdrew her hand as she cleared her throat
"This is me cooking. Sorry Ray, I have to get to Reema's mom. The journey is quite far from here. All right, grab a motorbike at the boarding house yesterday."
Zalynda immediately washed his cooking utensils and rushed to prepare
"I'm inter. I'll change my clothes soon." Ray said as he stood up from his seat
"Not Ray, I can.."
"Zw.." Ray stared at Zalynda. The girl immediately closed her mouth
"Out is still dark. What are you up there too? Your bike's still at the stall. I don't want you to leave unless you're escorted by me. Waita minute. Please bring the mac n cheese. We're eating on the street."
Zalynda finally complied. The girl carried her cheese macaroni in the lunch box, then sat down while drinking her warm tea waiting for Ray to get ready

"Hayoo bengoong."
Zalynda was shocked when Ms. Reema shocked him from behind until the blanket he was holding fell
"Ih bu Reema just ngagetin." Zalynda pretended to be angry
"Abis from earlier mom called you in her while smiling is not clear that. Starting from coming, cook, bebenah, senyuum keep mom pay attention. Happy again, huh?" Reema asked as she looked at Zalynda
Zalynda smiled at him. I remember when Ray drove him. Spoiled Ray asks Zalynda to bribe him because the young man is driving. Seeing Ray spoiled like that was a new sight for Zalynda
Not to mention when he was about to go down, Ray gave a brief kiss on his forehead. Although short, it successfully shadowed Zalynda until now
"Well, daydream again." Temptation bu Reema
Zalynda stuttered "Eh, sorry ma'am.."
"Where have you been for a few days?" Ask Reema
"Za there's a little business ma'am. Sorry for not missing mom.."
Bu Reema smiled looking at Zalynda "Za is in love again huh?"
Bu Reema laughed as she saw Zalynda's face instantly blushing. Bu Reema gently stroked Zalynda's head
"Mom's happy to see Za happy. It's been a long time since I've seen the binaries of people in love."
Ms. Reema sighed while sitting on the sofa. Take a photo album and see it. Ms. Reema smiled sadly
"Mom knows why I'm happy to see Za smiling happily. Za's smile reminded the mother of the mother's son's smile." Ms. Reema stroked the photo softly inside the album. Ms. Reema showed the old photo to Zalynda
Zalynda saw a handsome young man smiling in a black suit.
"This is Daniel?" Zalynda asked while looking at Daniel's photo
Ms. Reema nodded. "Here Niel just graduated High School. He looks so happy.."
Zalynda sat next to Reema. This woman wants to tell a lot.
"Niel is in love with a girl. He didn't stop smiling that day." Bu Reema laughed a little
"Saking his love, Niel once ganged a young man to the brunt because the girl preferred the young man over Niel."
"Love really makes a person stupid and forgets everything. Because of his love for the girl as well, Niel was imprisoned for 4 years on charges of kidnapping and co-operation."
Zalynda listened to Reema's story. Is that how bad it is?
Ms. Reema shrank her tears
"Since then, I've never seen Niel smile off. I miss Niel's smile so much. Especially when Niel's father died."
Bu Reema's view was far away, like through the walls of a room
"Why don't you live with Mr. Daniel?" Zalynda asked in courage
Bu Reema shook her head while smiling sadly
"Mothers don't feel right in Japan. I miss Indonesia. That's why I decided to stay here.."
Ms. Reema is back to caressing Daniel's photo
"Because she did not want to be alone, Niel applied to become the manager of her subsidiary in Jakarta. I hope Niel will be accepted by Za. Let me not be lonely."
Zalynda smiled as she nodded
"Later if Mr. Daniel comes, the mother's house will be crowded with grandchildren." Entertain Zalynda
Ms. Reema smiled sadly again
"Niel has no children, Za. Niel has been married twice and both ended in divorce."
Zalynda. The girl felt how lonely Ms. Reema was, because it was not much different from her
Bu Reema smiled as she looked at Zalynda
"But when you see me, I remember Niel. Your smile is very similar."
Ms. Reema clasped Zalynda's hand tightly. "How about Za stay here nemenin' mom?"
"That's, I can't be ma'am." Zalynda said while scratching her head
Bu Reema's forehead wrinkled "Why?"
"Np..Za has to ask permission first."
"Who's same? Aren't you also a kara?"
"Ng.sama Za's husband, ma'am. Za is married.."
Bu Reema was silent for a moment, then laughed loudly
"Ahahaha Za's..Zaa..If you want to lie, I try the little sinter. Where's there.."
Bu Reema stopped her laughter as she saw Zalynda's eyes seriously staring at her
The woman immediately fixed her sitting position
"How's the story?"
***
Zalynda told Reema. Starting from Yono who sold it to his impromptu wedding with Ray. Ms. Reema knows a little bit about Zalynda's past just listening while stroking her chest.
"There are people who are like that. He includes you."
"It's not really mom. His parents and grandparents adopted. It is not a blood relationship. Maybe that's why Yono is the same Za." Said Za lowered her head
"So the man who was forced to marry you?'
Zalynda. Zalynda didn't tell Reema's mom that Ray was married. Let this be kept temporarily by Zalynda
"Try to know mom. I want to know the face that Za fell in love with."
"Mm. actually later he wants to pick her up she said ma'am. I'm gonna go straight to the cake shop."
Zalynda and Reema stopped when they heard a bell ringing at the door. Ms. Reema precedes Zalynda's move towards the door
"Mom will see." whispered Reema, winking at Zalynda, holding the front door handle. Zalynda's face meets
Cclek
Zalynda's eyes widened to see the figure in front of the door
"You…"
