The time had already shown at twelve noon when Zahra walked out of the classroom and finished her exam.

" Alhamdulillah, the end of today's test was also finished "Zahra was relieved to have completed his test on time. Today is Zahra's last day of her semester exams.after which she can take a short break before her exam results are announced , Zahra hopes to get satisfactory results on the several-day test that he has undergone. Zahra hopes his struggle in this semester is not in vain.

Zahra was stretching her tired body to be more relaxed, suddenly Nia classmate and one class approached Zahra.

" Leg yes Ra, finally freed also from the heavy test these few days "Zahra smiled while nodding his head.

" yes Nia, the feeling is exhausted regardless of the bond of a very heavy burden yes "answered Zahra .

" eh Ra, the exam is done already ,we refreshing yuk, just wash your eyes and ngadem in the mall " Zahra looked at the watch in her hand.zahra thought for a moment to decide whether to accept Nia's invitation or not.

" It seems I can't be Nia, because one hour later I have to be in the hospital, I'm day nature" reject Zahra regretted not being able to go with Nia - the way to the mall, but Zahra also wanted refreshing to refresh his brain that felt hot and heavy a few days undergoing the semester exam.

But Zahra realized it was impossible, because she had to go to work on the shift this afternoon.

" how not to take a day off anyway Ra "said Nia memelas." anyways you are not tired of college while working, I'm just a lecture already tired, already tired, what else are you doing while studying Ra "asked Nia again.

Zahra Smiled in response to Nia's words.

" can't do that either nia.., I'll have to be able to divide my time for work and college, if I don't work how should I pay my tuition fees " replied Zahra smiling.

" if asked tired, definitely tired .but I try to live it sincerely, so tired it is not felt." replied Zahra again.

Nia is Zahra's age friend in taking S2 education at the campus where she studied nursing, Nia and Zahra are both majoring in nursing management. Different if Zahra lectures while working, while Nia only focuses herself to college with the reason to be more focused.

" so I walk - k mall street with whom dong" said Nia sad

" Together with me aja yuk Nia " arrived - arrived Riko level brother Zahra and Nia already stood behind them.

Zahra and Nia turn their bodies around hearing Riko's voice behind them

" Since when was big brother behind us "asked Nia to Riko.

Riko smiled while scratching her nape that did not itch wrong behavior." mmhmm since you invited Zahra to walk - the road to the Zahra rope mall can not accompany you ", Riko replied while glancing at Nia.

" Now there is Riko Nia's brother, the same Riko's sister as the road" said Zahra with a smile and winked her eyes at Riko.

Riko smiled at the code Zahra gave her.

Nia seemed to think for a moment, considering Riko's invitation.

" Okay, we eat all watch ya sis" said Nia finally agreed to Riko's invitation .

Riko was very happy that Nia finally wanted to be invited to walk by him. Actually Riko had a long crush on Nia, but Riko did not have the courage to shoot Nia, and Zahra knew that because Zahra had accidentally seen Riko stealing - a feature of the view on Nia when they attended a seminar held by the campus a few months ago, and Riko admitted it when Zahra asked at that time and Riko asked Zahra for help to be able to get closer to Nia, Zahra also agreed.

And now was his chance, Riko was determined to reveal her heart today to Nia.

" yes you are on the road now "take Riko to nia, Nia nodded her head .

" you want to be with us not Ra ?" ask Riko to Zahra .

" don't, brother, I bring my own vehicle to "push Zahra smiled and while shading the keys of her favorite motorcycle in front of them

" ok, we first yes, you are careful on the road "said Nia and Riko together .they also passed from there to their respective destinations.

*****

Thirty minutes of steering, Zahra has arrived at the hospital, Zahra langung to the parking lot and parked his favorite motorbike in a special parking lot of employees.

Zahra looked at the clock in his hand, time showed it was still half an hour at noon, there was still thirty minutes left before his working hours started , '' he said , Zahra decided to go to the hospital mosque first to pray zhuhur and continued to lunch, because Zahra had not had time to eat after returning from campus, Zahaea felt very hungry because this morning he only had breakfast with bread.

Arriving at the mosque Zahra immediately take ablution and perform zhuhur prayer. After finishing the prayer, Zahra went straight to the hospital canteen for lunch, Zahra saw the hospital canteen was very crowded, because there were still hours of lunch.

Zahra then ordered her food, Zahra saw there was an empty table in the corner of the cafeteria, Zahra put her feet on the empty table, the location of his table in the corner so quiet from the visitors who want to eat in the canteen, Zahra who likes a calm atmosphere when eating is very suitable with the place he sits now.

" Alhamdulillah, finally you are pregnant sister, may the mother and her baby's grandpa healthy yes brother "murm Zahra also happy.

As time went on Zahra began to be able to receive her heart wounds that had been hurt by her grandfather and her lover. Zahra begins to learn to accept her fate that cannot be united with the person she loves, in fact Zahra must accept the fact that now the person she loves and expects will accompany her life is now her brother-in-law.

" It turns out that your eating habits with a quiet and calm atmosphere are not changing, Ra "Zahra raised his head when he heard there was someone who greeted him and saw who had disturbed his calm at this time.

Zahra breathed heavily, Zahra looked back at her still-lit phone and displayed the photo on Naira's social media that was still open.zahra turned off her phone and kept it back in her small bag.

" you how is Ra "ask that person again.he still stares at Zahra intensely, there is a longing in that gaze.

" well, as you can see " replied Zahra indifferently.

" may I sit here Ra" the man's permission again . "all the places in this cafeteria are full of Ra, only here there are still empty ones " rio said again because he did not get Zahra's response from her first greeting the zahra earlier.

yes the man who greeted Zahra earlier there was Rio ex-lover who is now his sister-in-law.

Zahra spread her gaze around the canteen, indeed this afternoon the canteen looked very crowded, maybe because it was still lunch hour.and what Rio said was also true was only the seat in front of him at this time was still empty, the others were already full.

Zahra again - again breathing heavily, inevitably Zahra allowed Rio to sit in front of her. "please " replied Zahra lazily.

" thank you Ra" said Rio as he pulled up the chair in front of Zahra and sat there.

Shortly after Zahra's order came.zahra immediately ate his lunch quickly and quietly.Rio could only silently watch the zahra who was eating his food which Rio said was very rushed.

" Slowly eat Ra, no one will take your meal" said Rio reminding Zahra to eat slowly. Zahra just kept quiet and continued eating quickly.

" uhuk..uhuk".uhuk" , suddenly Zahra choked with her own food , Rio swiftly thrust the drink that had not been had time to drink in front of Zahra, Zahra looked at Rio doubtfully as she coughed - batik and hit - smacking her own chest .

" tenag, this is not yet me to drink" said Rio who understood with Zahra's gaze

Zahra received the drinking water Rio gave her and drank it.

" thank you brother" said Zahra to thank Rio for giving her a drink earlier.

" yes the same - same Ra " replied Rio smiling .

Not long after Rio's order came, Zahra also ordered a drink for Rio Because Rio's drinking water had been given to him, Rio initially refused it, but Zahra still insisted, because Rio's drinking water, because it does not want to be the center of attention, Rio finally received the drinking water that Zahra ordered for her.

Zahra resumed her eating, they ate in silence, only the sound of the clanking of spoons clashing with plates was heard.

Finished eating, Zahra intended to directly leave from there, but Rio held her back

" can we talk for a while Ra" said Rio looking at Zahra with a pleading gaze.zahra who was already willing to stand still for a moment considering Rio's request.

" please Ra, I beg you " Rio said pleading again.

Zahra sat down again, Rio smiled to see Zahra sitting back down

* what to say "ask Zahra quietly.

" Ra may be it's too late, but I haven't calmed down before conveying this and apologizing to you Ra," Rio lowered his head sadly.

" there's nothing to be sorry about, brother, everything I've forgotten, now let's live our lives. I hope you can take care and make your brother Naira happy especially brother Naira is pregnant with her sister's child at this time " zahra said at length and Zahra said it confidently without any pain and disappointment from every word and tone.

for some reason Rio felt his heart ache to hear Zahra speak calmly without any such burden

" so you already know that Naira is pregnant Ra ?"

Zahra nodded her head, "last I saw on social media brother Zahra kak, congratulations to be a prospective father yes brother" said Zahra with a smile .

" i still love you Ra " arrived - Rio said the words that Zahra did not want to hear anymore, what else did that say come out of Rio's mouth the person he loved and chose his own brother as his life companion without wanting to fight for their love again and give up the circumstances.
