THE STAR OF HEAVEN
PART 50'S
Zalynda stared at the side of her empty bed. The pillow feels cool and neat. Ray didn't sleep in his room tonight. His hand slowly stroked the pillow that was beside him
"You are angry with me Ray." whispered Zalynda inwardly.
The girl sighed softly. Soon Zalynda went to the bathroom to clean up to be ready to welcome the love call of the Creator
After the morning prayers, Zalynda went to the kitchen to make a drink and breakfast. Shortly after, Ray came home from a mosque that stood not far from the Ivory apartment.
"Assalamu'analykum.." Greet Ray as he enters the apartment
"Wa'alaykumussalam." Reply Zalynda
The two stared at each other for a moment. Ray immediately turned his eyes and went to his room. Zalynda breathed. Before long Ray came out carrying his dirty clothes to the laundry room
"Ray, let me wash you guys." Tawar Zalynda while taking the dirty clothes from Ray's hands and taking them to the laundry room
Ray did not refuse. Back the young man returned to his room to finish his pending work
Blam.
Zalynda bit her lip. Ray. Tears quickly gathered in his eyes. Soon Zalynda wiped her tears and rushed to make breakfast for Ray, after which she prepared to go to Reema's house. Zalynda did not want to stay in the apartment for too long with a pretty awkward situation
Breakfast was arranged on the table, Zalynda was neatly prepared to miss Reema. Zalynda goes to Ray's room and knocks on his door
"Ray, breakfast is on the table. I'm off to Reema's mom."
There is no answer from within. Maybe Ray's asleep. Zalynda immediately left a note on the dining table. After that, hurry away
***
While in the room, Ray is busy gathering information about Zalynda's past. Ray plans to meet Wijaya's master in the near future
"Why did Lord Wijaya hide Farah's pregnancy? Then there was the intention of Mr. Wijaya to separate Za from his biological mother." Brisks Ray slowly
Ray again saw the writing in the document that was given by Ima. Ray rounded up the name with the initials DP there
"Za, you've been suffering for a long time. Now it's time to get your position back and your pride back, baby. Just be patient." Bathin Ray's
Suddenly a voice came from outside her bedroom door
"Ray, breakfast is on the table. I'm off to Reema's mom."
Zalynda Voice.
Ray simply fell silent without any intention of replying to Zalynda. Not long before the front door opened and closed. Zalynda has left. Ray called someone immediately
"Hello boss." There was a voice across
"Hello Sep's. You where?"
"Asep's on standby in the basement, boss."
Asep was a driver at the Frederick Groups Company and one of Ray's confidants
"good. Za is down. You followed Za without getting caught. If there's anyone suspicious, take Za away." Ray's orders
"Ready boss." Said Asep
Ray hung up. Although Ray is still annoyed with Zalynda, it does not mean Ray stopped giving attention and protection to Zalynda
Ray went out of the room. At the dinner table there are three sprigs of fresh bread with meat filling, tomatoes, lettuce and mayonnaise. The coffee cream was complete to accompany.
Ray saw Zalynda's writing near his breakfast
"I'm sorry, my husband." Zalynda wrote in her little note.
Ray smiled at his smile
***
Daniel looked down from the window. Zalynda, Reema's personal assistant has arrived. The girl came early enough, probably told by Ms. Reema
Daniel was getting ready to go to the office. Some documents and a laptop were carried in his bag
Once ready, Daniel immediately went downstairs. There was a cheerful voice Reema was joking with Zalynda. Daniel smiled. At least Miss Reema wasn't lonely when Daniel wasn't home
The smell of cooking that greatly tickles Daniel's sense of smell and stomach. The man stepped into the dining room next to the kitchen
"Mama." call Daniel
It looks like Reema's mom is approaching her only son
"You're neat. Departing this morning, Niel?" Ask Reema's mom while pouring some warm tea for Daniel
"Yes ma. Jakarta traffic jams cause stress. Niel doesn't want to be late at the office."
Ms. Reema nodded "But eat first. Za, get food on the table immediately."
"Yes mom." The sound of Zalynda in the kitchen.
Zalynda came with a plate of spaghetti beef with parmesan cheese on top
Daniel was stunned to not believe he saw Zalynda. Not because of the girl's appearance, but rather on the bracelet that was coiled around Zalynda's wrist
Daniel immediately grabbed Zalynda's hand and brought the bracelet close to his distance of sight
"Aah, sir." Zalynda was surprised and tried to pull his hand. But Daniel's energy was stronger
"Where did you get this bracelet?!" Ask Daniel loudly
Daniel's stuck. Her mom? His mother she said?
"Niel!" Said mom Reema hard. But Daniel did not hear it. His mind turned to a decades-old memory, an unforgettable memory with Farah
Like a movie playing, all the flash of his memory is clearly imagined
"This is me making a bracelet. It has your name written on it."
"That's great, Daniel."
"Well, no one has. Graduation gift for you."
"Thank you, yeah."
Still imagined and clearly ringing Farah's voice in Daniel's ear. How the girl laughed, teased, even fell asleep in her arms
"Daniel, let's hurry."
"Daniel, come here."
"Daniel's.."
"Daniel's.."
"Niel!!"
Reema's voice roused Daniel from his daydream.
"Eh, yes mama?"
"That, please let go." Reema said as she pointed at Daniel's hand holding Zalynda's
There was a look of fear on Zalynda's face. Daniel. The man immediately released his hand. Zalynda immediately pulled out her hand and went into the kitchen
"No way." whispered Daniel. The man slowly sat down on the chair
"You why Niel? How do you look pale? You sick?" Ask Miss Reema worried. His hand touched Daniel's forehead
"Not hot." Mumbles bu Reema
Daniel immediately removed Reema's hand from her forehead
"Mama, Niel's okay." Daniel said with a small laugh
"You're so weird about Za. What's up?"
Daniel shakes. Zalynda came back with a plate of spaghetti for Reema's mom
"Za." call Daniel when he sees Zalynda preparing to go back into the kitchen
"Yes sir?"
"Sit down, accompany us to eat." Said Daniel
Zalynda's face looked confused. The girl glanced at Reema
"Yes, usually you let me eat. Let's get your plates, we'll eat together this morning." Said mom Reema
Urged on, Zalynda finally brought her plate and ate with Reema and Daniel.
Daniel watched Zalynda who was eating quietly in front of him
"Za.." call Daniel. The girl raised her face
"Yes sir?"
"Who's your mother's name?" Ask Daniel
Zalynda's forehead is wrinkled. Why do so many people ask what her mother's name is
"Rina, sir."
This time replace Daniel's wrinkled forehead. "Your father?"
Zalynda lowered his head while shaking. Bu Reema let out a long sigh
"Za has been living alone with her mother since childhood. After her mother died, Za went with her grandfather, then met her mother. Finally worked here." Bu Reema chimed in
Daniel looked back at Zalynda.
"The name of Rina's mother? Why not Farah? Why is she wearing Farah's bracelet?" The whisper of Daniel in the heart
Daniel is sure that the blue pearl round bracelet is his gift to Farah on High School graduation day. Daniel ordered specially at Reema's jewelry store
There's only one way to find out
"May I see your bracelet?" Ask Daniel
"My bracelet?" Zalynda. The girl looked like she objected
"Yes, don't be afraid. I won't take you away." Daniel said with a laugh
Zalynda smiled slightly. The girl took off her bracelet and gave it to Daniel. Daniel's researching Zalynda's bracelet. Exactly the same as he had given to Farah first
Daniel's eyes were glued to the fine writing inside the bracelet
Farah Afriyani Wijaya's
