ZAHRA AKBAR'S

Heart Freezing

Since Fachri's departure a week ago, Shafa has been silent. It's not as happy as it used to be. Spend more days in the room. Sitting alone in the balcony of his room with a blank look.

But today Shafa came out of the room early in the morning, in sports clothes he was jogging around the complex. After returning, he took the brick in the front garden, bringing it to the rear.

"What do you do to take a garden brick?" asked Mang Didin in wonder.

"It's not Mamang's business" Shafa replied. His hands grabbed the bricks one by one.

"Later the park more bald Non."

"That's Mang Didin's responsibility for the park again." Shafa immediately passed by carrying three bricks in both hands.

Shortly thereafter Shafa came again to take the brick. It happens over and over again. I don't know how many bricks Shafa took. Until the front garden that is still in the repair stage is completely messy. Soil and flowers are scattered here. The brick which is still a temporary foundation, has been taken Shafa.

Mang Didin could only sigh resignedly with the actions of his master's son. Later he will contact the regular subscription officer who takes care of the park.

"Din, what are you doing in the garden? Why is it messy like your face?" ask Parjo who just came.

"There's a garden nich so bald as your head." Mang Didin nailed Parjo's bald head.

Parjo rubbed his head which was indeed plontos. Looks shiny when exposed to the morning sun.

"Our attention is on Din! I'm aduin with Mr. Stev" Parjo threatened while wearing his hat.

"Somewhat a threat you. Right there, call the park!" mang Didin's orders.

Parjo went straight to the post they were doing his friend's orders.

Meanwhile, in the backyard Shafa does extreme things. He tried to break the brick with one hand.

At first he fails, then Fachri's words ring in his mind.

Concentrate Shafa! Focus your mind on one point. Don't assume that in front of you is a hard thing! Consider that in front of you is only a piece of cracker, which you can easily destroy. You have to be sure of your own strength. No hesitation!

Shafa concentrated again. All the energy gathered in his hands. And, in one blow the thing in front of him was already broken. The girl did so many times until her hands turned red.

"Not satisfied yet?" asked Randi who had just come over.

Shafa doesn't seem to care. One more brick he broke. Randi was only paying attention to what his little friend was doing.

"Let's fight Rand!" take Shafa later.

Randi agreed, serving Shafa's madness that morning. Kick and punch techniques began to be realized from the movements of both.

It wasn't in vain for a year that Fachri educated them both. Now Shafa and Randi have mastered martial arts well. At least they can protect themselves if they are outside.

Shafa carried out the attack brutally. Until it makes Randi overwhelmed. Not infrequently also Shafa kick free float about his body. It seemed that Shafa was venting his emotions, after a week of silence.

"Enoughly Non! I can't afford it." Randi was already sprawled helplessly holding his chest that felt tight.

"Lo's a Rand guy, don't be spoiled like a gini. Let's wake!" shout Shafa. As if I didn't care about Randi who was in pain.

"Please No! I really can't stand it" complained Randi. He dragged his body leaning against one of the flower pots.

Shafa breezed off to the kitchen to pick up two apples at the table.

"Non want breakfast now?" ask Bik Nani gently.

Shafa replied kindly with a smile. "Later Bik, Shafa hasn't finished training yet." When dealing with Bik Nani, Shafa is always gentle. He never hurt the nanny who took care of him since childhood. Moreover it was Randi's mother.

"MAYAAAA... SITIIIIII...! Shafa shouted to the two young servants in his house. Although calling with a shout but did not make him forget the habit of calling the two servants with the name "Mbak".

The called immediately facing. Ready to obey their lady's orders.

"Follow me back!" shafa said as he passed away to the sports hall taking a bow complete with his arrows.

"Death to May!" siti whispered to Maya who was also frightened to see Shafa walking with an arrow that was ready in his hand.

"You two are standing there!" shafa's orders pointed to the side of the garden's perimeter wall.

Maya and Siti simply complied, Shafa also walked towards the two of them. Put an apple in the head of each waiter who stood up while shaking.

Now Shafa was preparing to aim for the apple in Maya's head. His hand was ready to pull the bow and release the arrow.

"Mak Maya do not move continuously, if you do not want this arrow to hit Mbak's head." Shafa shouted without changing his position that was ready to aim.

"Don't believe it Non. What if I die? I still want to live. I am not married and have not made a fish pond for the mbok accommodated," said Maya by closing her eyes. While Siti who was beside him fell silent out of fear.

Shafa doesn't care about Maya's words. He focused on his arrows.

"May's mother opened her eyes" Shafa shouted. Maya reflexively opened her eyes and in an instant she pulled an arrow. Maya immediately fainted from shock because the arrow had shot above her head hit the apple.

Siti also immediately rushed to Maya's body lying on the grass of the park.

"Have you finished playing, baby?" reprimanded Steven who had been watching his daughter from inside.

"Sorry Dad! Shafa was just a fad," Shafa replied as he placed the bow on the table. Then take a sip of mineral water that he had prepared before the exercise.

"But your frown is making others hurt Shafa. Look at Randi until it's like that. You have to take responsibility. Treat Randi's wounds!" steven said firmly as always. "Siti, call Parjo to bring Maya inside" he told Siti.

"Good sir." Siti immediately ran to call one of the security in front.

Shafa immediately approaches Randi and lets the young man inside assisted by Steven. Then he looked for a medicine box in the kitchen.

"I hope you understand Shafa's behavior, Rand. I myself feel like I failed to become a father because I did not manage to educate him well. Fachri who can control Shafa is gone. I don't know what's going to happen to Shafa. He was devastated by Fachri's departure. I'm afraid he'll go back the wrong way to vent the loneliness of his heart" Steven said with regret. He already considers Randi like his own son. Because of that, Steven was a little open to the young man in front of him.

"I can understand that the state of non-Safa is currently in chaos. Sir need not worry, I am sure non Shafa can already choose which path is good and which is bad. Fachri has been educating non-Safa well all along. I'm sure non Shafa just needs time to accept reality." Randi said reassuring his master.

Steven got up from his seat when Shafa had returned with a medicine box and a bucket of ice water to compress Randi's wounds.

"Don't let this happen again! Daddy doesn't want you to hurt anyone just for the sake of venting" Steven said before stepping away.

"Good Dad. Shafa won't repeat it again." Shafa answered without looking at his father. His hands were busy squeezing the cloth to compress Randi's wound. I don't know why he still survives the freezing of his heart. Not interacting too closely with people at home. With his own father, Shafa rarely spoke. When Steven came to his room, Shafa was always indifferent. Until Steven relented to give his daughter time alone.

Slowly Shafa treats Randi's wounds. He also told the young man in front of him to open the shirt so that he could more freely treat injuries because of his actions. There were a lot of blue marks on Randi's face and body. Making Shafa open his voice out of guilt.

"Sorry Rand! I was out of control, did not think that you would bonyok like gini."

"Look out Non. I want to be a non samsak. Moreover, samsak for the heart of Non Shafa. I am also willing to die. Asal Non happy," said Randi while smiling seductively at the girl in front of him.

Unexpectedly, Shafa got up with a riled up face while throwing a compress towel at Randi's face. His sharp gaze made Randi speechless. He ran up the stairs without caring about Randi anymore.

"Sensitive to the non now. I just said that it was bad. Especially if I say I want to replace Fachri. Surely I will be made a real duck," muttered Randi shuddering in horror at his fate if it really happened. He then walked slowly. Ask the mother to treat her wound.

Bik Nani could only shake her head with her son's current state. Moreover, hearing the story that his son was teasing Shafa.

"Non Shafa is still unstable, even you are tempted like that. Accepting the fact that son Fachri is gone for good must be very difficult, instead you play," Bik Nani scolded as his hand smeared the medicine on Randi's wound.

"Randi becandain dikit doang Bu, has been snacking non Shafanya."

"You should not joke around with non Shafa" said Bik Nani.

Randi just chuckled at her mother's words. He used to joke with Shafa, like a friend. They are like brothers who love to mess with each other. But, ever since Fachri left. The girl's joy just vanished. He disappeared with Fachri.

Meanwhile, Shafa goes immunocompromised over. Look at the sun that has just appeared. He remembered his memories with Fachri at that place. A memory flashed as Fachri clasped tightly onto his hand while enjoying the warmth of the sunlight.

You see Fachri, now I'm standing here without you. You want me to be like that sun? Stunningly challenging life. They blow through the clouds to make them look shining. But unfortunately, the sun of my life is gone, I'm not sure it can be that loud. I'm just an ordinary girl trying to survive on the fire path of life. Either I can hold on to keep going or I'll melt into ashes before I get to my destination.
