ZAHRA AKBAR'S

Answers

At about 7 p.m., Steven and Andi headed for a restaurant. They have already made an appointment with Mr. Adhitama on the issue of hotel construction.

Not long ago the person who was waiting for came. They shake hands and give each other friendship.

Then Steven explained in more detail the obstacles he faced. Mr. Adhitama nodded his head in understanding.

"I'll send my niece to your office tomorrow. It just so happens that he is at home. Hopefully he can help." said Mr. Adhitama.

"Thank you Mr. Adhitama. Your help means a lot to us" Steven said.

"Don't call me Sir. Just call me Stev. You used to be very valuable to my company. Without your help a few years ago I couldn't be what I am today."

Adam Adhitama then sipped coffee that had been ordered Andi before.

"Well Adam. . .!"

"This is more relaxed." Adam was as friendly as possible to Steven to make their conversation more relaxed.

Then Steven's phone rang. There was a call coming in from his daughter.

"Hallo. What's the matter Ra?"

Steven seriously listened to the voice of his daughter who was talking.

"There's Fachri and Randi at home."

". . ."

"Yes, Daddy will buy it. It was Ra" Steven ended his call.

"That was your daughter Stev?" Ask Adam.

"Yes Dam. He asked to buy his favorite cake."

Steven put his phone in his pocket.

"It looks like your daughter went to school with my son. The Nusa Bakti SMA."

"She's right it's my daughter's school. He's in 1st grade."

"My son graduated this year. Invite your daughter to come home sometime."

"Well if there's time I'll be there."

Their little chatter ended after Adam said goodbye. Steven also invites Andi to buy Clara's order.

****

After praying together in the room, Fachri took the time to teach first. While Clara immediately took off her face, she chose to lie down on the bed. Fachri's melodious voice began to echo in the room. Clara changed her position after picking up the phone on the desk.

Now he is lying on the side of the bed which is close to Fachri. Because they happened to pray right next to the bed.

Clara secretly photographed Fachri who was still clad in cocoa clothes and wearing his white peci. Fachri's face really reconciled the hearts of anyone who looked at him. Moreover, the chant of kalam coming out of his lips was very soothing.

Unwittingly by Fachri, Clara perpetuates the moment. Actually, it doesn't need to be done Clara, every day she can enjoy moments like that with Fachri. But it seems Clara wants to make memories of every moment she spends with her husband.

When Fachri was finished with his recitation, Clara immediately ended her activities. Then Fachri reached out to his wife.

Clara immediately grabbed her husband's hand and kissed the back of it. Fachri also gave a sweet kiss to his wife.

Clara gasped at her husband's sweet treatment. It used to feel like Fachri was just a stranger who came as a driver and bodyguard. The man her father chose to take care of her.

And now Fachri's not just looking after himself. But also his heart.

For a moment Clara felt lulled by Fachri's treatment. But there is a distance that makes Clara want to retreat from the feeling that touches the recesses of her heart. I want him to throw away that feeling. She is no longer a perfect woman. Not a woman who deserves to be with a perfect man like Fachri.

Clara immediately sat on the bed, leaning her body with her eyes closed. It did not escape the sight of Fachri who was tidying his alphabet.

Suddenly Clara's body felt trembling. The shadow of that dark event came back. Clara hugged her knees while sobbing. His mind seemed to be back in that scene again. A successful incident hurt his soul and body.

Fachri immediately grabbed Clara's body. Back trying to help Clara fight her trauma.

"Relax Clara, I'm here. You don't have to be afraid anymore."

"I'm just Fachri's dirty girl. I don't deserve you." Clara.

Fachri stretched his deck. "Don't ever say that again Clara. Never. . .!" Fachri's firm hands gently rubbed the tears that fell on his wife's sweet cheeks. "I told you, Clara, you're still a beautiful rose to me. I will guard my roses with His Love.I will not let my roses wither. I'll make it always scatter the fragrance of love."

Fachri clasped Clara's hand to touch her chest as she spoke. "This soul is there for you Clara." Then turned around to guide Clara's hand to her own face.

Fachri hugged Clara. "Don't cry anymore, or I'll suffer because of your tears. Your sorrows have become a nestapa to me."

Clara grew sobbing at Fachri's words. There was no word he could say. Only tears represented the turmoil of his heart. Sadness, sadness and happiness are mixed into one.

Fachri's warm embrace has submerged Clara in an ocean of tranquility. Nothing can replace that taste.

The sound of knocking on the door made Clara quickly wipe away her tears.

"Non Clara awaited the Master below. You are also Fachri." Randi's voice rang out from behind the door.

Fachri immediately replied to Randi. "Yes Rand, we'll be down soon."

Clara rushed to the bathroom washing her face to look fresh.

After that he immediately went down with Fachri.

"You're crying?" Steven asks his daughter after giving Clara a fond kiss.

Steven glanced at Fachri who was still standing next to them.

Fachri just put on his calm face. Even though he knew his father-in-law gave a look of intimidation.

"Little Dad. Because Clara was watching a sad drama in the room with Fachri. So laugh at the atmosphere." Clara answered a little lie. Though there was indeed a little drama between two human children who tried to strengthen each other. Ends with a new tear.

Then Clara sat down on the couch with her father. And so is Fachri.

"This is your order. The valrhona intense." Steven poked the box with his daughter's cake. The cake consists of 70 percent Valrhona dark chocolate. With vanilla ice cream. The cake is one of the dessert from a French restaurant in Jakarta. Steven had to specially order the cake with the size of a jumbo. At his daughter's request.

"Thanks daddy. . .!" Clara accepted it with pleasure. One of his emotional outbursts was to eat chocolate cake.

"Daddy borrow Fachri for a bit. There's something Daddy has to talk about."

"Ok Dad's. Clara's in the room first." Clara got up from her seat. So also with Fachri and his father who had gone to work.

Clara sees Randi in the busy family room with a laptop in front of her. He called Randi to come upstairs.

"What's up? I don't feel good about Fachri." said Randi who was behind Clara.

"Let's come along. I eat cake."

Clara opened the door to her room, taking Randi in.

Clara and Randi sit under a soft carpet and open the box.

Clara enjoyed every piece of cake that entered her mouth. Every now and then he feeds the piece of cake into Randi's mouth.

"Already Non. Not eating the cake yourself. For me this is bitter Non." said Randi refused a bribe from Clara. Cakes made from 70 percent dark chocolate are a bit bitter. But the bitterness is balanced with the pleasure of the brownie cake.

"It's delicious Rand." Clara returned to feed her a piece of cake.

"Yes delicious for Non who is upset. I'm also affected by Non's turmoil."

Clara just smiled faintly at the complaints of Randi who did not like dark chocolate. For Clara, it was her way of getting goodmod.

"Non got an answer yet?" ask Randi later.

"What answer?" Clara picked up a tissue wiping her mouth that might be dirty from chocolate.

"You learn senile Non." Randi. "Fachri's guess that afternoon was Non."

"Oh yeah, I forgot Rand."

"The answer may be "Love" is Non." Randi tried to guess the answer himself.

"Not dech according to me Rand." said Clara.

Clara also seemed to think. Then he and Randi argue with each other about an answer that might be true. Starting from the words feelings, love, jealousy, longing and so on.

The debate continued until Fachri returned to the room.

"What storm are you guys?" Ask Fachri.

"Gributin answered your guess this afternoon. Give dong Ri the answer." said Randi.

"It's just as curious as that guess." Fachri then sits between Clara and Randi.

"The answer is Ri's longing." said Clara.

"Not Ra. If the longing even though expressed will not be lost. There's still a sense of longing."

"But if you meet the one who is missed, you will lose his miss."

"That's what Ra's object is. While my guess is. Only by revealing something will it disappear. It doesn't take an object or a medium to channel that thing to get lost." Fachri Bright.

"Then Love Ri is the answer." said Randi.

"Love will not be lost even if it has been disclosed. It will even increase that love. Not even missing."

"Jealousness dech Ri." Clara tried to guess again.

"Even the jealousy. It will not disappear even if it is disclosed. Like Ra's gini if you say "I'm jealous of him".

Is that jealousy going away even if you say it. No, jealousy will still exist."

"What is the disappointment?" ask Randi again.

"It's not the answer, Rand. Even if you say disappointed, but disappointed will still be left behind. Not lost."

"Keep the answer what is dong Ri? I can't think. Answered this it wasn't."

"Secret" Fachri answered briefly.

"What the hell is this Ri maen secret. We're not even puyeng Ri. Almost died of curiosity waiting for an answer from you." said Randi who impressed lebay.

"Gue ain't Rand." said Clara.

"Non belain me napa? Let Fachri answer."

"And I told Rand. The answer is secret." said Fachri again. Then he leaned his back against the bed while watching Clara and Randi's reaction.

"If the answer is a secret why do you give a guess to us Ri. Make us think. The end is not told the answer either." Randi's grumbling who seemed to be getting annoyed.

But Fachri even smiled hearing his friend was provoked by emotions. But he already said the answer. But Randi could not catch the words he said earlier.

Clara herself was still thinking, trying to understand Fachri's words just now.

Something that exists but does not appear, is intangible

When it is revealed something becomes non-existent

If nothing is revealed, it remains

Clara muttered to herself repeating a question from Fachri yesterday.

"Lo dreaded me dech Rand. The answer is "Secret". Try to think something is expressed so nothing. The same is the case with secrets, which when revealed then there will be no more secret. Because the secret has been revealed.

And secrets will remain if they are not disclosed or in the sense that they are not told to others" Clara said.

"That's how Clara understands Rand." Fachri confirmed Clara's explanation.

"Job Fachri. . .! The answer is apparently doang. I thought about it to the sea." Randi tepok jidat himself was so upset.

"Who told you to think until you were at sea. I thought it could be here."

"Lice I took is you Ri." said Randi who was just joking.

Fachri just laughed lightly as he passed.

"Where are you going Ri?" Shouted Randi.

" Want to take my things under" replied Fachri as he continued to step.
