In the afternoon at 17:00, Zahra finished her work. She tidied up and also put flowers into the store.
"Thank you everyone for the cooperation today" Zahra told her co-worker.
"Together Zahra, we are also happy. You are very friendly and quick to adapt" said another friend.
Zahra smiled happily after that she came out of the flower shop to go home. He walked to the nearest minimarket. Zahra wants to buy bread for breakfast tomorrow morning.
After buying, Zahra immediately waited for the ojek that was ordered online. He had to save because his savings were running low.
Zahra waited patiently, occasionally taking a breath to ease her fatigue. "Honey, thank you for being strong in your stomach. Forgive me if you have to work too tired. You must stay healthy in your womb." Zahra muttered by stroking her stomach.
Fifteen minutes waiting for an ojek booked online does not come. Zahra was so tired of standing, she finally ordered a new online motorcycle and had to wait a few minutes.
Adhan maghrib reverberated, the ojek that Zahra ordered came. After that Zahra went home to his contract.20 minutes passed Zahra until also in his rented alley. He walked very lethargic. Arriving in front of Ms. Romlah's house Zahra's steps stopped.
"Neng Zahra stops, I have something for you" exclaimed Mrs Romlah from inside the house. He's been waiting for Zahra since.
"Yes, Mom, what's wrong?" zahra asked, waiting at the door.
From inside Miss Romlah carrying a bushel containing food. "This Mom was cooking and deliberately I was more for Neng Zahra," said Ms. Romlah, she gave the bushel to Zahra.
"Mother, I don't want to be too troublesome. Mother has given me free food every day" said Zahra melas, she was very happy to receive all that.
"It's okay, thank Neng. This is the sustenance of his name," said Ms. Romlah a little pushy. After that Ms. Romlah took the paper bag on the table. "Neng, the mother was tricked by a neighbor to buy the milk of a pregnant person. I've bought, uh know it's the wrong brand. Neighbors do not want to, keep me remember that you are also pregnant. So this milk is for Neng, only," explained Ms. Romlah.
Zahra received the paper bag and raised many questions in her head. "Thank you, Mom. For Mother's kindness to me" Zahra said with a friendly smile.
"Together."
After that Zahra left the house of Miss Romlah. He walked while thinking, "It's too coincidental if this is a misbuy. The first time was also very strange. The change in attitude of Miss Romlah that time was very fast."
Zahra stopped her steps, then she looked around to confirm something. "There's nothing" he thought. Then he walked again.
After a few steps, Zahra looked back. He saw a car passing by at the end of the alley. "Like Mas Reza's car. Or maybe all this from him. Yes, I'm sure this must be from him" said Zahra.
Zahra took her phone, and she called Reza. The call was answered quickly. "Stop your car, Mas" said Zahra.
"Reverse 'cause I need an explanation" he said quickly.
Zahra was still standing in place. Then a few minutes later Reza was walking from the end of the alley towards him. Zahra was still upset to remember what Reza said in the hospital. Reza walked quietly, he was ready if Zahra would scold him.
"Assalamualaikum," Reza said with a smile.
"Waalaikumsalam" replied Zahra.
"Why silence? don't you want to explain everything to me? or you're lying to me again" Zahra told her sister-in-law.
Reza took a deep breath, and exhaled it violently. "Even if you ask a thousand times, my answer will remain the same, Zahra. I just want to help you. Look at that face of yours, it looks so pale. Pregnant women should not get healthy nutrition. Then, if you are like this, how will you get nutrition for your baby? I'm sure you haven't eaten yet" Reza explained.
Reza smiled again he was still patient in the face of Zahra's annoyance. "Who is the obligation? Rizal's? So you still expect him to do this duty? He doesn't even want to listen to your explanation. Worse, he's spoken the word divorce repeatedly to you Zahra. That means your marriage is over. Be happy even without him, Zahra. Don't you want that?"
Zahra shed her tears, every time she talked to Reza. Those words were able to open Zahra's closed heart.
Risa wiped away Zahra's tears. "Don't shed your tears again. Stop crying in front of me. I want to see you smile at Zahra and I really want to see you happy. Can you do that? Now start your life from zero again. I'm ready to help you anytime and anywhere."
" Stop don't cry ...!"
"Are you happy to see my marriage end? Is this what you want?" Zahra asked her sister-in-law.
"What are you talking about? Yes, I admit that this feeling I can't get rid of even a little bit. But I still have a conscience, I love you but that doesn't mean I want to take you from Rizal. Because such a relationship will never last long and there will be no happiness. Now I ask you, as long as you are married to Rizal. Do you feel happiness?"
Zahra was silent and did not answer.
"Why silence? Okay I'll help you answer that. According to my vision, you have never been happy since you decided to marry Rizal. Your feeling to Rizal is just a depressed feeling. Why did you waste your life all this time, Zahra. You deserve happiness and you deserve to be united. Love yourself without having to think about the person who has hurt and destroyed your feelings."
Reza rubbed the tip of Zahra's head. "Now go inside. Later, you're tired of standing here and it's not nice to see complex mothers."
"Have you eaten, too, my dear? If not, let's eat together" said Zahra without looking at Reza.
"Well, since I've been invited, I'll stop by. I bought your favorite food. For that milk I also circled the supermarket to look for it, because the brand was very difficult to get" said Reza. He walked behind Zahra.
"Next time don't bother, Mom!"
Reza chuckles. "I like to be bothered especially repotted by you. It's an obligation for me" Reza said.
"How's your job? Is it too heavy?" ask Reza slowly.
Zahra took a deep breath. "So since when have you been following me, Mom?"
"Since you escaped from the hospital. Did you know that since then I couldn't sleep well. I'm shadowed by your very scary words" replied Reza.
"Which words?" ask Zahra curiously.
Reza replied, "I'm afraid if you hate me."
Zahra smiled faintly. "You should know my character, Mom. I can't hate anyone, not even people who hurt me."
"You should change that nature, don't be too kind. Once in a while you have to turn into someone fierce to take care of yourself."
"Until whenever I can't, Mom. I am like this and I will stay like this. Nothing can change my nature because I cannot change it either."
"All right, I get it. Wait for me to have you, then I will change that trait" Reza murmured softly.
"What did you say, Mom?"
"It's okay, it's also far from your contract," replied Reza to switch the conversation.
