The Tarnished Wife
The story of three friends - 3



Zayn was still standing behind that door. He wants to hear an answer from Rara, because if Rara rejects Reza, then he will start to reach for the girl.


“Ra, don't shut up!” Reza grabbed Rara's chin which lowered its head to look at her.


Rara blushed in shame. He came to this house to study, and learned something else.


“I have to answer what?” cleopatra asked, who was called Rara.


“Jawab, do you have the same feeling as me?” tanya Reza looked at both of Rara's eyeballs without a blink.


Rara smiled and nodded her head slowly. Suddenly it made a smile on Reza's lips.


“Really? You also have the same feeling as me all this time?”


Rara nodded again while biting her lips. Really, he's embarrassed. Then, Reza cupped Rara's face.


“Pronounce something to convince me, Ra,” said Reza.


“Hmm ... I ..” said Rara stammered.


However, Reza was still waiting for the girl to finish her words. And behind the door someone opened his ears to hear the answer.


“I like you too, Brother.”


Reza immediately grabbed Rara's body and hugged her.


Meanwhile, behind the door, Zayn rested his body there. He had no hope of reaching out to Cleopatra, the girl who made him laugh, the girl who made his heart shady and enchanted. Although he dated several women, but he always put Rara first, until every woman who became Zayn's lover was jealous and broke off the relationship. Zayn did not care about his relationships with the women, because he never wanted the relationship.


Then, Zayn chose to return to his room. He put everything about Rara into a big box. He promised to harbor this feeling, a sense that did not know until when it would perch in his heart.


At first he thought, this was an ordinary feeling of love, or maybe this love was present because of their more intense interaction than Reza. However, Zayn is increasingly trying to remove the name Rara from his heart by courting other women. But instead his heart and mind were fixed on that charm, the charm of Cleopatra.

Crc ...


Reza opened Zayn's room door. Fortunately Zayn had finished tidying things up in a big box.


“Hai, Zayn. You are waiting for Rara in the reading room,” said Reza with a sparkling face. The happy face is clear.


Zayn turned a glance, then placed the big box in the bottom cupboard.


“It seems, I have an impromptu affair. Sis. I can't help Rara today.” Zayn is still busy arranging his closet.


Reza, who was sitting on his bed, now moved closer to him. “Loh, that's it. You promised Rara today. Poor him, Zayn.”


“Sister will be at home, sister will help him. I have business with my girlfriend,” Zayn replied lying, whereas Zayn had long since broken up with his current girlfriend, but neither Reza nor Rara knew that.


Zayn immediately put on his jacket and prepared to go out.


“Zayn,” call Reza who does not understand with the indifference of the sister.


Zayn ignored the call of his brother. He kept packing to leave this house for a moment and neutralized his jealous heart and mind.


“Zayn, but ..” Reza was about to speak again, but Zayn immediately darted away and out of his room.


During the day, Zayn is no longer seen with Rara. Now, Rara is more assisted by Reza to complete the thesis in the last few chapters. Rara only thinks that Zayn is indeed busy with her lover.


Zayn's attitude seemed to be retreating slowly, bringing Rara and Reza closer. Not infrequently, Zayn went home and found Rara who was laughing with her brother. Really, it made her heart hurt. I think he wants to leave this place.


“Zayn, where are you going?” ask Mirna.


Zayn and Reza's mother looked at her youngest son who was packing in the room. Zayn stuffed some clothes into a sizable backpack.


“I want to Jogja, Ma.”


“Loh, really? Aren't you graduating in three days?” ask Mira.


Reza who passed through the room of the sister also entered there. Mira's voice was enough to make herself want to know what was going on in that room.


“What's up, Ma?” ask Reza.


“This loh, Za. Masa’ Zayn did not attend graduation,” replied Mira.


“Indeed why, Ma. What matters is that Zayn graduated, right? Graduation is not important.”


“At least there are mementos like your sister,” replied Mirna.


“It doesn't matter, Ma. But to go is much more important. Zayn is having a photography project there with a friend.”


“Zayn, but after graduation. Tomorrow there will be your sister's engagement to Rara. Mama accidentally combined the show together.”


Zayn smiled. Instead he wanted to leave because he wanted to avoid the event that made his heart so sick.


Reza embraces the body of the mother. “Let's, Ma. This is Zayn.”'s hobby


“But, Za?” Mirna frowned, asking Reza to hold off the sister dang.


“How long have you been in Jogja? Only three days, right? Means you can still attend,” said Reza looked at the sister, then alternated towards the mother. “Quiet, Ma. There are still three days before the event, so Zayn will still be able to attend.”


Zayn stopped his packing activities. Then the man who now became quieter and less talkative looked at the mother and sister.


“I still can not attend, because after three days in Jogya I will directly fly to Bali.”


“Zayn,” shouted Mirna annoyed. “You're outrageous.”


Reza's embrace slipped off Mirna's shoulders as the forty-eight-year-old woman walked up to her youngest son.


Mirna took out the clothes that Zayn had put in the big backpack. However, Zayn quickly held his mother's hand.


“Mama, please! Don't stop Zayn from reaching for Zayn's dream, Ma. Please!” Zayn stared deeply into the mother's eyes.


Mirna could see both eyes that were starting to pool under her pelopak. Really, he's never seen Zayn like this. He thought Zayn was feeling sorry to ask permission so that he could channel his hobby, but Zayn channeled this hobby to release the disappointment of the heart that clapped one hand.


Mirna just resigned, so did Reza. Even Kemal, the father could not resist the wishes of his youngest son who was known to be hard.


Finally, Fahreza and Cleopatra's engagement party continued to run even without the presence of Zayn. The person Zayn thought was the closest people, did not know his heart at all. They are still happy about this engagement. Mirna and Kemal are very happy, so is Sanjaya and his wife named Mia. Meanwhile, Reza and Rara should not be asked, they look calm and harmonious.
