Thorny Love

*Bab 20

Ziana followed what Restu said. He returned to his apartment, with slow steps. Zia walked while bowed sadly. She wants to be a strong woman. Not thinking about the problem of a broken-headed household like a broken glass.

Unfortunately, he cannot. Every time he tried to forget his household problems, and focus on the work he now entrusts to Restu, the problem always arises in his mind. Like a shadow that follows Zia everywhere she goes.

'God, I want to get out of this. Please let me go. Give me a way out so I can rise from this slump. I want to be a strong woman, who remains strong when any weight of testing comes, ' Ziana said in her heart as she walked down.

Pukkc ....

Zia's head hit the back of someone who was in front of her. Quickly, Zia saw what was already a barrier to her steps.

Incidentally, as Zia raised her head, the person that Zia hit also twisted the body to see who had already dared to bump into her. The eyes of the two of them stared at each other for a moment.

"Zeco."

"Zit." Zia looked to the side to wipe away her tears, lest Zein see those tears.

"I'm sorry Zein. I was unintentionally. I .... "

"You why? Are you in a hurry again? Huh yeah?" zein asked more like a mock.

"No. I .... "

"Udah, no papa. Hit me as you like, Zia. I don't know what," Zein said trying to comfort Zia when she saw the sad face Zia showed.

Ziana did not answer. He tried to calm his heart so as not to show his sorrow to Zein. That was when, Zein saw the traces of tears that were still left in Zia's eyes.

"Zia, what's wrong with you? Is there a problem?" ask Zein concerned.

"I'm not papa. Excuse me," Ziana said as she left Zein.

Zein wants to prevent Zia's departure. But he realized he couldn't do that. After their brief encounter became the cause.

"By heart, why are you like this when you see him? What is it about her that you really want to know all about her? You don't know, we just met. Just the first time, remember that," Zein said to himself.

"Sstt, you're talking about who the hell is Zein?" ask

The risk comes from behind.

"Huh, ngo-by the way? Not talking to anyone. You heard it wrong" Zein told a lie.

"No. Udah, you are very long, you make me guarantee you are here. Don't you like me coming to your place?" ask Zein.

"That's not what Zein is. I'm so glad you came. That's the sign, you still remember me, your childhood best friend," Riska said as she pulled Zein's chest.

"Good, but you're making me guarantee you're here. I knew I was coming, but you left me."

"Well, I'm gonna go get us something to eat. If I don't go out, I can't take you to eat at my house dong."

"What time is this, Ris? You don't have a cell phone? I can't order food from home."

"Can't, that's why I'm out. If I can, I definitely don't have to go out of the house anymore. You forget, my phone is broken. Yes, you who promised to buy me a cell phone, uh even forgot the same promise," said Riska put on a manyun face because of the snack.

Zein smiles bad. He felt guilty for having forgotten his promise to Riska. In fact, he did not forget what he promised his childhood friend. Only, what he had promised, was broken. It is impossible for him to give anymore.

"Oh, yeah, don't remember. I know you won't forget what you promised if there's no obstacle. I understand, because I know who you are."

"You sure? You know who I am?" asked Zein to make sure that his best friend really knows him very well.

"Yes is sure. I know who you are. I know how my best friend. We've been friends since we were kids, haven't we? So, I also know that right now, you have a problem with your heart" Riska said as she opened the door to her apartment.

"What's? You say I have a problem with my heart? How do you know that I have a problem with my heart?" tanya Zein did not believe what Riska said.

"As I said earlier, I've known you since childhood. I I know who you are. Come inside!"

"Crazy. You can do it, Ris. It could be a lie" Zein said as she followed Riska inside.

"Eh, I told you I was lying again. No need to hide everything from me. Later, if there is a problem, just ask me. His intention is to find a solution. Late Bambang," Riska said as she spoke loudly in Zein's ear.

"Aduh .. when is this sane sabahatkan me. From childhood until now, his nature has not changed."

"If it changes, it's definitely not Riska your best friend, Bambang."

"Huh." Zein had no words to answer Riska's words. It was the fate of Zein who always lost to Riska.

Meanwhile, Zia was trying to calm her heart. He did not want to be a weak woman who could only cry and could do nothing when oppressed.

"Come, Zi! Now you must rise from this fall. Don't cry and don't be sad anymore. Sadness and tears are not the solution to solve all the problems you are facing" Zia told herself.
