When Your Love Knocks on the Door of My Heart

I Love You, Too

I opened the small curtains in the front window when the sound of the car began to move away from the yard.

I was completely helpless before Zen. Do I love him too?.I think so. I've never felt this happy with another man. Ahhhh..it's so funny to feel in love at this age.

I swept my eyes across the room. The house is deserted, maybe Fiona is out. Wouldn't he usually stay at his friend's house until Monday afternoon then he would return home.

I saw the kitchen was also in a good state. Ahh..there's writing on the stick on the refrigerator door. Sure enough, Fiona is out of town on business she said for up to 2 days. It would be lonely this house without Fiona...

I went into the room and laid my body on a very soft bed according to my size.

I tried to open some photo galleries in my watch. I took some Zen photos on the beach.

Very handsome and dashing. I closed my eyes imagining in Zen's embrace. Yes.tadi Zen really hugged me. And that was the first time I hugged a man. And the second time was embraced by Zen.

The difference was that little Zen hugged me without feeling because he was my student who was clever and cared about anyone. But now, Zen turned into a handsome and mature looking man.

The most important thing is that he loves me. Even loved me long ago. The breath that made me restless, the touch of his hand that made me misbehave.ahhh, Zen.I closed the photo gallery on my phone.

He's a perfect man. Handsome, tall, kind, well established at a young age, and that eye gaze. Surely many young girls of his age are crazy about him.

It was impossible for a young man as handsome and as neat as Zen to not have a girlfriend or close female friend.

While me...

I stood in front of the mirror and started to look at myself. Hmmmm...Almira, you are beautiful, simple, and worthy of adoration. I smiled proudly thanking myself without the slightest regret.

It is difficult to touch salons and treatment places like other girls. This is because Mother instills a strong foundation for her children.

"The beautiful face will be seen from a good heart, nduk. If the good heart is good at being grateful, the face will radiate it. It's called inner beauty" said Mother many times each time we sat together discussing women's and work issues.

"The fool will come according to what God has ordained. You don't have to be burdened. The most important thing is to take care of yourself, God willing who comes later is good. Trusting my mother" Mother said, motivating me when my sister got married two years ago.

"Am I looking for a mate, so that my mother is ashamed that I am not married while Dek Hendra has preceded me" I asked at that time while hugging the mother who was cooking in the kitchen.

"Do you want to be betrothed?" chirps Father chimed in my sentence.

I'm speechless.

"If you are sincerely in the match, you will find. But ask yourself first what do you want?" he gave me space to write my words.

"Almira doesn't know, sir. What do you think of mother?" I stared at the face of my mother who was still in my arms.

"Heh.you think the mother who will live your household. It's your responsibility" mother hit my hand gently with a laugh.

"Almira means you know more about Almira" I replied with a grin.

"That's it. Just go through your career, nduk. Later your soul mate will definitely come at the right time" prune Mother strengthen my heart.

"Mother and father are the best" I said, giving both kisses on the right and left cheeks. "Wait sir, ma'am.later husband Almira is the best and proud father and mother"

"Aamiin.." father and mother together.

Hmmmmmm.I smiled looking at the pretty face in the mirror. Spirit, Almira.if Zen becomes your soul mate, then Allah will draw him closer to you no matter how far you avoid him.

But.today all day he was with Zen. Even Zen freely clasped his hands, touched his face, even hugged him. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. But what I feel is a happy thump. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...Zen, I'm easily in love.

But all that I tepis when I remember my age is much greater than Zen. I am older than him.

Zen took care of me. It doesn't seem like his treatment differentiates me because of age. I felt like a child next to him. Ahhh...what should I tell her tomorrow??. What if her attitude is shown in school tomorrow morning?. Do I have to pretend to be sick so as not to meet Zen tomorrow morning at school?.

Duh...why am I this?. Like not just me.

I smiled and realized my stupidity. Let tomorrow be what I will be.

☆☆☆

I did a daily value analysis and kept a daily learning journal and tidied it up on my desk.

That feels lost today. Zen didn't go to school.

"Bu Almira, the student on behalf of Zen Pratama this morning could not attend" the Headmaster explained this morning as I entered the teacher's room. My heart suddenly beats and wonders.

"If you can figure out why, sir. I have a PH schedule today for XII grade students. All the coaching preparation facing the test in two months" I tried to find out.

"She went to my father's house all night. Said that one of his companies in the city of J asked him for a sudden meeting that could not be represented. He promised to follow all the activities that were delayed today directly with Ms Almira" the Headmaster handed me a letter with the logo of a Travel company in the city of J.

I received the letter without opening it. After saying thank you I went back to my desk.

Several times I saw my phone, who knew the young man sent me a message. But not a single message came in Zen's name.

Why do I feel disappointed and sad...

I suddenly felt ignored and meaningless. Hey...didn't I just say I accepted it yet? why is my heart so sad. Awake, Almira...

I smiled while shaking my head.

"Why, Miss Almira?" mr. Hamid's voice surprised me. Mr. Hamid's smile mocked at me. I am a very baperan.

"Mother Almiraaa." Hamid called me louder this time.

I was stunned and looked around. Some senior teachers laughed at me.

"Well, Miss Almira?, is there something you're thinking about?" ms. Ainun the seductress started with her style.

All eyes look at me.

"Could you really daydream?" timpal senior teacher who was most happy to tease my status. Mrs. Maria is the most beautiful and passionate English teacher.

"Sir Hamid don't be trusted, Mrs. I'm keeping a journal" I defended myself. Of course I'm ashamed of this situation if it really looks dreamy.

"So I saw Mrs Almira shaking her head" said Mr. Hamid honestly.

"Sir Hamiiid." I'm like a thief caught red-handed.

"Mother Almira, tomorrow night there's an art performance in the regent's hall. There are usually many artists and entrepreneurs. Come join who knows who can mate there" asked Mrs. Maria is full of spirit.

"Sorry, Mrs. pretty. God willing next time. Tomorrow my schedule is tight on campus until 9pm" I gently declined.

Mrs. Let's just kind of pout.

"In the future, reduce your work schedule so that there is time for yourself" he advised with a teroaksa smile.

I laugh.

"Ready, Mrs." I laughed back

Ms. Hanifah looked at me for a moment.

"Mother Almira, are you interested in marriage through ta'aruf?" ask carefully.

"No, bun. Pardon us. Just pray that my soul mate will soon find my home address" I replied in reply said aamiin by all my seniors. Teachers at this school are very compact and full of family.

Ms. Hanifah and the Principal are non-regular students attending the lecture at my place of teaching. Coincidentally I was their desertation guidance lecturer for the S2 level they traveled.

But I salute on campus and at school their treatment is very different. They are a very nice family to me who are wandering around in a city of people.

The clock rings without feeling. All the teachers have said goodbye to the room. I glanced at the TU room still open.

"Excuse me. Pak Rama" I knocked on the door that was still open.

mr. Rama poked his head from behind the big computer in front of him.

"Yes, mom. Can I help you?" said polite. Rama is 2 years younger under my age. I have a family and have one child.

"Nitip print for guidance tomorrow morning. Afraid of forgetting at home" I asked to give a special flash for activities and tasks at school during my teaching.

"Ready, mom. Tomorrow morning it's on mom's desk" she said for sure.

"Thank you, Mr. Rama. I'm going home first yaa.." I turned around and grabbed the backpack at the table and stepped out of the room.

The clock is at 14:15 minutes. I turned for a moment to the school musholla. Who knows, I am late to home and of course my prayer time will fall.

After performing the worship I stepped outside the school yard. Usually there will be a taxi at the end of the taxi base not far from the school.

So I had no trouble finding transportation. Sometimes the other senior teachers give me a ride home.

I once thought of buying a car to support all my activities in this city, but my mother said "Don't buy anything because of prestige, Nduk. Buy something that suits your needs. If it's more beneficial to you better not"

Mother is right. The distance of the house I rented to campus can be reached on foot. Only to this school that requires transportation, because the distance is quite a distance I travel with 15 minutes by public transportation or taxi.

I was shocked by the silver car horn that stopped right in front of me.

Zen's face appeared laughing wide after the car's glass was lowered.

There was a sense of relief when he saw his face. I smiled a little. Maybe true.I miss him.

"Let's get on" Zen opened his car door. I was stunned for a moment.

"Come on, baby" Zen let out a laugh after saying that word.

I sat down and closed the car door slowly.

"It's okay on the bull like yesterday" he said laughing. I was embarrassed to realize my upset attitude yesterday.

"Sorry.." I looked at Zen's appearance for a moment. Neat shirt with tie and cloth pants. Doesn't look like a typical high school kid. Looks so handsome, authoritative, and mature.

"Why do you look so handsome?" liluhku.

Zen looked at me like he was surprised. Then he laughed happily.

I also gasped at my words. Ouch...Almira, why wear this once attitude of yours.whisper me in my heart with shame.

"I love you, Almira. Whatever you say means a lot to me. Do you like the way I dress?" Zen pursed his lips and formed a kiss in the air. His attitude began to tease me.

"You know, my highest dream is to marry you" she said without further ado. Her sexy lips smiled triumphantly.

"I never gave you a yes" I said. Even in my little heart, my joy is immeasurable.

"Who asked you to give an answer?" zen asked for a moment. I feel unappreciated anymore.

"You mean?" i stare at. It was more appropriate to turn my body towards Zen who was focusing on driving.

"I'm saying I didn't ask you to give me an answer. I told you that I'd marry you"

"But still you have to ask for my approval. Aren't you going to marry me?"

"Yes. If not with you then with whom?"

"Yes with me!" I said without thinking. Oops.I woke up and shut my mouth.

Zen laughed triumphantly. He always knew how to frame me. My college degree and lecturer status were completely blown to pieces in front of Zen.

"I'm ready to follow the exam preparation guidance to you in private" Zen glanced at me at a glance.

"Aren't you the head of some company, I think exams are just a formality for someone like you" I tried to find a way to drop her self-esteem.

"Sup to you. If you want to be like that, I will" replied Zen flatly.

"That exam you're not me" I said slightly softened.

"Whose teaching is for whose exam subjects?" Zen asked again.

"I'm..."

"Do you want a husband who doesn't graduate high school?" Zen asked with a mischievous grin on his lips.

"Whose husband?"

"You. Who do you think you are?"

"Yes me..."

I saw Zen laughing. I took a shy breath. Many times I trapped myself in unfortunate situations. I was really stupid with this feeling. I'm in love with you, Zen.

I gave up on my own ego. I don't think there's any harm in trying to enjoy all of this for what it is. My first love...

"Zen, I. I think" I was nervous and hesitant to be honest with Zen. Surely this son of a bitch will laugh at me...

"What do you want to say?" zen asked with a small smile. The look on his face remained happy and calm.

"I love you too" I said, closing my eyes.

I jolted Zen braked suddenly, making my body hit Zen's arm earlier almost hit the dashboard of the car.

"Why you?" I was surprised to see Zen who saw me unblinking.

"Pinch my arm or whatever you can pinch" Zen was still stunned looking at me.

"You're crazy." I said annoyed at being surprised by the car that suddenly stopped.

"Can you repeat the sentence you said?" the door with a serious look.

I flipped myself. I just realized Zen was surprised by my sentence earlier.

It turns out that he's just an ABG no more unstable like me who's just first in love.
