THE STAR OF HEAVEN

THE STAR OF HEAVEN
PART 22



Zalynda had just finished praying when her phone rang


Ray's Number. Zalynda's heart is a little flowery. Zalynda cleared her throat before picking up Ray's phone


"Assalamu'analykum.." Zalynda Sapa


"Wa'alaykumussalam, have you woken up Za?" There was a soft voice of Ray greeting across there. Looks like Ray's walking


Zalynda nodded, but a second later Zalynda realized that Ray would not see her nod


"It's Ray."


"What time did you go to Reema's mom? I'm WA Asep to pick ya up."


"That's not necessary. Miss Reema's out of town today, so I'm off." Zalynda said quickly


"Oh ok. I'll take you to Edah's mom's shop. Are you making breakfast again?"


"No, I'll take a bite out of fried rice last night."


"Hmm. so you want fried rice."


"Come back here, I'll make it." Those words just revolved around Zalynda's brain. The girl just smelled her smile


Silent


"Mmm..ohya Za, what was the name of yesterday's cuisine in bekelin?" Ray asked breaking the silence


"Food yesterday? Saute oncom basil?"


"Ooh. hahaha, yesterday Marvin asked. I don't know his name. I said sauteed tofu with basil."


Zalynda laughed amusedly "When you don't know oncom anyway Ray?"


I heard Ray cluck


"And I just eat. I don't know how to cook."


Zalynda was still laughing. It's funny that Ray called the oncom stir-fry in English.


"I'm glad to hear you laugh, Za."


Zalynda slowly eased her laughter, then fell silent. Fortunately, they spoke by phone. Ray could not see his blushing face. Zalynda was happy, only with a conversation like this had made her happy


"Don't you want some fried rice?" Suddenly a woman's voice was heard near Ray


Degs.. Zalynda. It was like the sound of a girl coming to the store to order a wedding cake. Ray's Wife


"Can. Call me a minute." Ray answered the woman. Ray's voice sounded soft


Zalynda bit her lip. Maybe this is how it feels to be tossed high into the sky and then thrown to the earth. It hurts!


"Hello Za?"


"Np.. I'm sorry, I think I should go to the bathroom. Assalamu'alaykum."


Zalynda immediately turned off her cellphone connection without waiting for Ray to return his greetings. In her handphone tightly. His eyes closed


"Hi's jealous, go.." Whisper Zalynda quietly.


***


This part of Zalynda channeled her jealousy by cleaning Ray's apartment. All cleaned. The boxes of Ray's goods were partly there that Zalynda took out the contents


Some bed linen, tablecloth and gordyn are still in good condition in the box found by Zalynda. Zalynda immediately replaced the bed linen, gordyn and installed a new tablecloth, while the old one was instantly washed


Ray's apartment is a little tidier. There are still some boxes in the corner of the living room that Zalynda does not know should be flanked


"Huuff. is fine too." Zalynda muttered while looking around.


The girl sat on the living room sofa while glancing at the clock on the wall


"It's still a while, maybe take a break."


Zalynda also installed an air cooler in the living room and returned to lay himself on the sofa. Zalynda recalled the incident earlier this morning during a phone call with Ray


Zalynda breathed. His arms cover his eyes


"Za, you should understand, Ray's married. You do not become ignorant of yourself like this, Ray marry you because noolongin aja. Don't play too much in this relationship.." Mumbles Zalynda monologue


The cool air and fatigue after cleaning up made Zalynda's eyes immediately closed


***


Cold air hits Ray's skin pores. Not only that, Ray saw his apartment felt more neat and organized. What attracted Ray's attention was the figure of the girl who was asleep on the sofa


Zalynda's appearance was quite seductive in Ray's eyes. With a pink tanktop and hotpants featuring leg tiers, Ray could barely think clearly


The young man approached Zalynda and sat down next to the girl. Zalynda's smooth body seemed to invite Ray's hand to explore it. Ray's hand was about to touch Zalynda's thigh


But immediately clenched his hand. Ray is worried that his actions have shocked Zalynda and frightened the girl


Ray draws and exhales to decrease his desire. Ray's hand moved to touch Zalynda's shoulder


"Za, wake up."


The girl squirms. His eyes opened


"Ray, are you home?" Zalynda's voice raspy typical of people waking up. His eyes looked at the clock


"Then we're home? You should still be in the office." Zalynda blinked slowly while looking at Ray


Jemari Ray stroked Zalynda's cheeks slowly while looking at the girl's reaction. The girl was silent, neither surprised nor evaded. Maybe because of the new effect of waking up


"You're cleaning up, huh?" Ray asked back


Zalynda seemed to remember something, her eyes were rounded. The girl looked panicked, instantly woke up and sat down


"Ah yes, sorry Ray. I didn't have a job. I was supposed to clean up the apartment and open up a few boxes of your stuff. I'm pi.."


Zalynda did not continue her words when Ray's index finger touched her lips. Ray laughed at Zalynda's reaction


"A few days with you, I hear your apologies a lot."


Zalynda lowered her head while smiling lightly "Sorry.."


Ray cupped Zalynda's face and raised the girl's face. Their views meet


"Where is the confident Zalynda, Za? What's been going on in recent years?" Ask Ray


Zalynda smiled sadly "This is the real Za, Ray. Many years ago I hid behind a mask of falsehood just to avenge my own life for the sake of saving myself.."


Zalynda was stunned, feeling that she had spoken too much. The girl lowered her face. All the shadows of sadness appeared. Starting from the death of Rina, the harsh treatment of Anggun and Diva, Yono's abuse, was expelled from Gemilang University, stranded in the streets..


"Hiks.." Zalynda crying. His water went down hard without being able to hold him


Ray quickly took Zalynda into his arms. Zalynda did not refuse. The girl squeezes Ray's shirt and sheds her tears on Ray's field chest


"I'll always be there for you, Za. If you're ready to tell me, I'll listen to it." Ray said gently as he stroked Zalynda's head


Zalynda buried her head in Ray's chest. A warm feeling spread across his chest.


"Just like this for a while..." Bathin Zalynda


***


A day at Edah's mom shop, Zalynda didn't stop smiling. The cake she made also looked more beautiful. Ray's hug turned out to be a mood booster for himself


Edah was satisfied with Zalynda's work. Today Zalynda also received a certificate of graduation from the place of her course.


"What are you gonna do next, Za?" Ask Edah


"Maybe I'll open a little cake shop. But now it looks like I'm going to open a small cake order online while collecting money to make a shop." Zalynda


Ms. Edah smiled "If only I could accept another employee, I would definitely recruit you. But here it is enough employees until the apprentice must be selected strictly."


Zalynda nodded. He understands the rules that must be maintained and maintained. Zalynda respects that


"Five internships and get knowledge directly from Edah aja Za was very grateful mom. Thank you so much for your knowledge, Edah."


Bu Edah smiled as he stroked Za's head


"Next week all interns will get a certificate of graduation and internship value from each place. Don't forget to come."


"Good ma'am" Zalynda said as she nodded


"Yes, it's a customer. Try to serve yes. We're short on people on the front line."


Zalynda laughed. What is meant by Edah with the front line is service to customers. Zalynda immediately stepped up to a customer who was behind him


"Excuse me, can it be on the tire.tu..?"


Zalynda's eyes widened as the female customer turned around and looked at her
