Stone Miners
Eps. 37 Reasons

Earth's previously high temperature is now shrouded in dark clouds in response to the reason why the atmosphere is releasing heat. Like the atmosphere, Tia also has a reason why she always keeps her distance from Faiz.

Since the meeting at the airport at that time, Mother Zi was always talking about the figure of Faiz. Praise the mother and hope that later Tia gets a companion as well as Faiz managed to disturb the peace of his soul. That is why Faiz is considered a bully because in fact Faiz has a great chance to make him amazed maybe even able to reach the level of love if he continues to be beside Faiz.

"Yetoo." Tia, who had just dissolved in her daydream, suddenly shouted and spontaneously hugged Faiz tightly.

"Ah.. Ouch." The reply to Faiz's offense tipped a punch and pinch after a few seconds before he felt the warmth of Tia's embrace.

"Who's cornering sharply!!" Ketus Tia's

"So from now on I've been talking you're just petrified, '" Faiz explained

"Where are we going now?" resounding

"Whatever!!" Tia is getting more judes

"Ke the chicken stall just race all you eat, how?" Ask Faiz again

"I'm not hungry."

"So where are we going, dong?" Faiz still continues to guide his vehicle even though the intended place is not clear

"Say whatever!"

"Then we go to RTH?"

"No, there are too many people." Again, Tia rejected Faiz's offer

"You said whatever, but refused to be invited to the racing chicken and RTH," - staring through the rear-view mirror - "where do you want us to go?"

"Where are you going!"

Tia's reply made Faiz pat the jidat. Inexhaustible with the way of mind of the woman he is being rammed right now. Faiz never thought all women were the same. But for this one, it seems he agreed that the woman is indeed a rare species that is hard to guess what she wants.

"All right." Faiz immediately pulled the gas motor.

Tia was holding the motor stirrup tightly. Once again he said the conditions Faiz had to meet so that his back would not scarlet again. Yaps, what else if not the prohibition of sharp cornering.

After passing through a large lake by the road, a mosque with a Chinese-style building, and a stadium that was still half-finished, Faiz finally pulled over his motorcycle.

"It's good too." Inner Tia who saw the expanse of water in the high seas

"The floor's beautiful, right?" Asked Faiz who was now sitting in one of the old-looking saung

"Sit here." Faiz continued while patting the place beside him.

"Now listen to me carefully." Tia began to speak up in a still standing position. His gaze leads to the high seas.

"This is the last time you'll come to my boarding house." Firmly Tia

"Reason?" Faiz looked at the back of the woman who spoke as she turned her back.

"Should there be a reason? Anyway don't come back to my boarding house!!" Tia

"Please if you want to stay away from me. But I also have the right to pursue the person I love, right?"

"Whatever! That's obviously not me."

"Who can forbid someone to fall in love?"

"But why should I?"

"Just don't come back to my boarding house!"

"If I don't want to?" Faiz Fishing

"If you don't want ma-ka. then....."

"Then what? You gonna stay away from me? Please! I'll keep chasing you." Firmly Faiz

"Then you'll never see me again on campus!" Tia

"Huh? That you hate me? Wh why?? You want to say it again because I'm a man?" Faiz was stunned to hear Tia's reply.

"Yes!! I hate that much about you. You and all the men in the world. I hate you guys." Tia's voice raised both her hands even clenched.

"All men are the same..!! Both liars!" The clear liquid escaped just so wetting his cheeks.

"Huh...," - grunt annoyed - "in this world there are still men who always try to be kind, considerate, never cheating, not drinking hard, not drugs, not even smoking...But baby, just because of one man's fault then they are also labeled as bad men!" Faiz started to get emotional. He didn't receive a bad stamp for something he never did

"Wouldn't all men say that? Sweet first but end? The falsehood behind the mask will open up as well, right?." Reply Tia with a high tone of speech as well

"Do you accept being lumped in with the other women out there? Then you're just like Khume and the others. Equally selfish, cheating, heartless, even shameless begging for love in a numb man." Reply Faiz.

"I'm not as stupid as them," Tia protested not accept. He recalled the incident when Khume knelt at Faiz's feet. Just imagine it is horrified. How could Tia be willing to drop her pride to such a low.

"If you're not as stupid as they are, then I'm not as bad as the man you mean." Firm Faiz.

"Whatever! Fuck your fakes."

"Give me a chance," - Faiz stood right in front of Tia - "so that you realize, that not all men are fake and my love is sincere to you." Pinta Faiz holding Tia's hand

"Love?" - brushed off Faiz's hand - "Hahaha bullshit!"

Faiz tries to dive into Tia's feelings. How ruined is this woman? Why does he hate men so much and not believe in love?

"Because your man was created and thanks to love you are present in this world." Tandas Faiz still has trouble convincing Tia.

"If love did exist, then you wouldn't be here." The clear liquid escaped just so wetting Tia's cheeks. "If love is real, I should be home now, with my family."

"If the man is not a fake, then I will never see the mother shedding her tears," her tone began to tremble

As if struck by a tickle, Tia's expression just now really made Faiz run out of words. He began to guess the direction of Tia's conversation.

The atmosphere continues to undergo the process up to the level of precipitation. Grain of water from the sky began to pour down upon the earth. Nature seemed to clench, letting her cry under the rain.

"Tie...." Faiz held Tia's shoulder

"Where? Tell me which love do you mean? The love that makes you run away from home? The love that makes you cry for betrayal? Which one is Faiz? Which love do you mean?" Tia's tears are getting unstoppable.

"Mother accompanied in joy and sorrow, gave him offspring, took care of all his needs, but why? Why is he still looking for another woman? Is it because you are old? No, even since I was a little girl, you've been crying a lot."

Faiz held Tia tightly. Letting the woman cry in his arms. There was an inexplicable feeling of pain when he saw someone he loved shed tears.

Faiz did not expect that bittersweet life lived by Tia. Scratches of the wound left the trauma until he was reluctant to open his heart to men. "I won't let you get through it all alone." The promise in Faiz's heart just flowed like rainwater that kept wetting their bodies.

In a helpless state Tia let out all the sadness she had been harboring herself. Faiz was the first to know his life story. Even his best friends, Femi and Sam, never knew the real problem. His lips were stiff for storytelling, he was unwilling to share grief. But with Faiz, somehow everything just said. Maybe because of the atmosphere or maybe there are other reasons.
