The Wasted Princess

CHAPTER 34. PHOTO GALLERY

Reno and Zahra are already in Abah Kyai's residence. Since Zahra had only looked down, she was afraid that her decision to forget Reno would falter if she saw her face.

It was undeniable that he still felt that vibration, even stronger. After a long time of not meeting, Zahra refrained from hugging her as Reno stretched out her arms.

Reno looks disappointed when Zahra refuses her embrace. Reno just resigned not wanting Zahra to taste her forcible.

"Assalamu alaikum Abah." Zahra said as he saw Abah coming out to see him.

"Wa alaikum salam, it's been a long time Nduk? In a moment Ferdi will come, still on the road he said." said Abah.

Abah did not know if there would be any other guests in his house.

"Assalamu aleikum Abah." Reno also called Abah.

"Wa alaikum salam. How can I go with gini? How are you feeling now?" ask Abah later.

Zahra was just listening, she didn't know that Reno knew Abah.

"Alhamdulillah, much better Bah. My heart is much calmer now. I came with Zahra on purpose, she's my cousin Bah. I want to know, the man who wants to know Zahra." replied Reno as it is.

"Good then." replied Abah briefly.

"Assalamu..." Said a man in front of the door that was not closed.

"Wa alaikum salam. Enter Nak!" answer Abah.

A man who Reno was not far from his age entered the abah salute. Then sit to the right of Zahra which is only one seat apart.

"This is what I've been waiting for has come. Nak Zahra, this is Nak Ferdi that Abah told me about yesterday" Abah said.

Zahra stared at Reno for a bit, Reno nodding as code. Zahra smiled as she cupped her hands in front of her chest while introducing herself.

" I'm Zahra Brother." said Zahra politely.

"Ah, yes. I'm Ferdi." Ferdi did the same with Zahra, then turned to Reno.

"I'm Reno." this time they shake hands.

A moment Zahra judged, from a decent physical appearance. Although not as handsome and valiant as Reno. Ah, why is Reno still the benchmark.

"Look Ferdi, I promised Nak Zahra that my role was just to introduce. After this, if you want to continue monggo, Abah will support. But if Zahra does not want to continue to be friends or get to know each other further, Abah hopes Nak Ferdi understands.

"Express Bah." replied Ferdi briefly. "So according to Dek Zahra how, can I approach Dek Zahra?" ask Ferdi to Zahra then.

"Sa... L am... Is it okay if we make friends first? Sorry, I feel awkward because I don't know Mas Ferdi yet." replied Zahra very bright.

Reno just silently watched the interaction of the two. But to be honest in heart, Reno did not want Zahranya to be close to the man. Is Reno selfish?

"Yes, maybe it's better that way. Can we exchange mobile numbers?" ask Ferdi expectantly.

Zahra looked at Reno again. And Reno finally asks Ferdi to name her phone number. Before long a message came in from a new contact and sent it a message.

Ahead of Maghrib they decided to pray in the new pesantren and then went home.

"We eat first." take Reno when they're on their way.

"Go on, Brother just go home, later on Clara nyariin." reject Zahra smooth.

He remembered, Clara had threatened Zahra when she knew the closeness of Reno and Zahra.

"Tomorrow again, never get close to Reno. You like him as a grown man, right? You can fool others, but I don't. Ye know? It was easy to make him suffer. Reno loves me so much, if you still try to get close to her, then I will leave Reno and when I leave then she can go crazy. You understand right? " clara's threat at the time.

And now Zahra was very agitated.

"Don't remember your habits, you must be from lunch, right? Or since morning has not had breakfast?" said Reno who knows if Zahra will face something or someone then he so no appetite because of anxiety.

"Yes, but I don't want Clara to be angry with you. He said Brother love dies the same as Sister Clara. And if he leaves, brother can go crazy. Rara doesn't want you to go crazy." said Zahra Long to make Reno surprised.

Not angry, even laughing. Reno pulled the car over and stopped her car by the side of the road still chuckling.

"Why laugh anyway. Then why stop here? Gasoline out?" ask Zahra who made Reno so anxious herself.

"Bentar dek Abang want to be satisfied to laugh first. Who is Rara Denger from the rich story? Dead love? And what was it, brother going crazy? But it could also be that Abang is still in the influence of pellets, hahahaha.." said Reno who made Zahra scowl.

"Denger, let's eat first. If Rara does not want to choose let you choose the menu." said Reno yak to be denied.

Reno continued on to the tent stall, she remembered that Zahra loved the chicken and the catfish pecel.

"Mom, fried chicken kampung 2, catfish 2, rice 2, drinking just anget tea 2 ya bu. Don't forget to sambel penget and lalapannya." said Reno to the owner of the shop.

Zahra smiled, but Reno still remembered her liking.

Reno pulled Zahra into a corner, sitting next to her in Lesehan.

"Abang still Rara's favorite?" ask Zahra.

"Rara why haven't you been telling me all this time? Change the number is also a taboo taboo. You ever make a mistake with Rara? Hmm?" Reno nodded with many questions.

"Ga papa anyway, Rara was busy in college. And I don't want to provoke Clara's anger later." Zahra replied honestly.

"Why are you so scared of Clara. Have you ever been in any way?" ask Reno again.

"Eh, Rara ain't scared of Clara. Brother don't tell me the same Ma'am Clara yes later, if Abang nemenin Rara today" said Zahra pleading.

"Don't you say he's not scared?" Reno thaws, and is greeted by a whimper by the zahra.

"Can you ask Rara for help?" ask Reno again.

"What Bang?" asked Zahra while separating the thorns in the belly of the catfish.

Reno's habits are almost the same as Revan's. Love to eat fish but can't wait to separate the spines.

Currently Reno and Zahra are more like a couple who are dating.

"Abang wants to move out of the apartment, yesterday already got a house in Pakuwon housing. Rara can help you pack? Home furniture ga Abang bring. The plan, the apartment wants you to sell the same furniture." said Reno explained the plan.

"Why is it sold? Isn't that Clara's dream of living in an apartment?" ask Rara.

Reno let out a long sigh, she was still reluctant to tell Zahra about her separation.

"We don't have to talk about Clara first. Clara is not the same brother. You don't have to be afraid of her anymore" said Revan seriously while rubbing Zahra's head wrapped in a hijab. "Abang only wants to see Rara happy, if Rara believes that the man can become Rara's priest later, then Abang will support. But if Rara isn't sure it's best not to rush into deciding. Istikhoroh first, ok!" continued.

"Yes Bang." replied Zahra, then she washed her hands, sign that she had finished eating. "If tomorrow afternoon how the packing, all the transfers. Is your house far away?" ask Zahra.

"In Pakuwon, that's where you taught."

"cool, that's elite housing. Tajir dong Brother."

"Haha... Don't be poor. That's the money that Papi and Mami love is still a lot left if only to buy a house like that."

Zahra just grinned. Although he does not know the details, but Reno knows that Zahra is the type of person who is simple and frugal. While Mami with her Papi always gave a very large pocket money. Not to mention Reno himself often give pocket money as well.

" It's finished, want to go home directly what nginep apartment Abang aja?" renomenclandai Zahra.

"Abang ya, a really good seneng baperin Rara."

"Emang Rara baper? Actually Abang kidnap this deck. Ck, it's so jolly!!!"

Reno finally only dared to pull Zahra's nose because of anxiety.

In the car there was silence.

Oh Allah... Could it be if I asked my brother to be my husband? But I don't want to ah, I'm an actor. Big No's! Ah, it seems better to try to accept Brother Ferdi just let me stay sane. Inner Zahra war.

********

The cooking show was finished 1 hour ago. Ara has returned to her unit. Arya was still intilin Ara. She had a discussion because Ara told her to go home. But Arya insists on waiting for her brother. Be Kia looking for Revan T-shirts to wear Arya after shower.

Kia was still thinking about Arya's words on the sidelines of her activities in the kitchen.

"So don't you want to ask me something, can't Ra?"

"Why Brother?"

"Emmm... Kia is very similar to my Om wife. His name is aunt Laras. Look, it's exactly the same as you."

Kia stopped from his activities that were cutting vegetables. He approaches Arya and grabs her phone and notices the photo in her gallery. Heart's shaking.

The hope that he once had, it felt like he wanted to dig up again.

Can I hope to see my father? What if he won't admit me? Kia's mind was still filled with fear.

"Yes, this is exactly the same Kia. What is Brother's name?" kia asked with a trembling voice.

Arya took her phone and shifted her picture, then showed a photo of a man in a wheelchair.

Degs...

Why did it hurt to see the state of the man in the wheelchair, his gaze was empty. Is he my father. Inner Kia.

I don't feel her tears escaping.

"Hey, don't cry! I wish you were my sister. Is your mother's name really Mother Laras?" Arya started to interrogate him.

Kia just nodded. He's getting sobbing. Ara immediately hugged him.

"Don't cry Kia, are you frightening something?" ask Ara.

Kia nodded on the sidelines of her crying.

"Why?" ask Arya.

"He was afraid to see Dad. Kia was afraid that Dad would not admit me." Kia replied still sobbing.

Arya stroked Kia's hair affectionately. He was convinced that this girl was the one his family was looking for. But he doesn't want to rush. One wrong move, it could endanger Kia.

"Don't worry, if you're Om Abi's son, then he'll be very happy to find you. I'll help you investigate the truth. That's why I have to meet your future husband. Already, now that you are calm yes, we both pray. If indeed you adek me, later brother explained kedaan om Abi. If you are angry with him, you can punish him. He will be very happy to accept the punishment if you want to return." Arya then persuaded.

Kia rubbed her tears and tried to calm herself and then expressed her cooking.

TBC...
