Zein was already sitting on the chair near Clara who was still lying down and had yet to open her eyes.
Zein watched the helpless Clara with pity.
Suddenly Clara's eyes opened slowly and glanced at Zein who was still sitting unaware that Clara was conscious.
"You-you... " Said Clara in a soft voice but Zein heard it anyway.
Zein turned her head because she heard Clara's voice.
"You're conscious" Zein and Clara said.
The two of them were both awkward as they also did not know each other yet.
Zein and Clara were confused to say what, surely at this time between the two there was only silence until quite a long time.
"Have we met before?" Ask Zein.
Clara looked at Zein's bead eyes and their gazes were locked.
"Have you forgotten?, you saved my life and today I have paid my debt back" Clara replied.
"really?" Zein asked, it seems that Zein did not remember the incident that Clara meant.
Clara nodded "We were in High School, maybe you've forgotten that"
Zein seemed to think.
"Oh yeah I just remembered, you were almost hit by a car because you chased a thief, right?" Zein and Clara nodded with a smile.
"You helped me out that day"
"But you're helping me right now so we're even" Zein replied.
"Why do you still remember that incident?" Ask Zein.
"Where might I forget, even I fell in love the first time I saw you. But unfortunately we never met after that" Inner Clara.
"Maybe I forgot someone who helped my life. If there wasn't that person then I might be dead" Clara replied.
"Well, you're right, I thank you for saving me" Zein said.
"No need to thank me, I also got your help. And also I'm doing this not just for you but for Alya and Riski" Clara replied.
Zein heard Alya's name and Riski suddenly asked.
"Is Ri-Riski Alya's husband?" Zein asked, clearly visible from the look in his eyes he was not okay.
"Looks like her, Alya, you're a good woman until everyone around you likes you. But I also like this person in front of me" Inner Clara.
"Yes" answered Clara.
From what Clara saw from Zein's eyes, it was obvious that disappointment was there.
"Do you like Alya?" Ask Clara.
"You don't have to lie, I'm not like other people you lie to so easily"
"Well, I'm honest I've loved it since we first met, but...."
Zein took a breath to continue his explanation.
"But I just found out that she has a husband and is much better than me. I think it will be easy to accept this fact because I am also calm Alya got a much better partner than me. Love doesn't have to be, right? if she's happy then I'll be happy too"
"May God give you the best soul mate. Alya is not your soul mate but God has prepared the best for you, if the time comes you will definitely meet your soul mate" replied Clara.
"Aamiin....."
"Oh yeah what's your name?" Ask Zein.
"I'm Clara Astiraf"
"I'm Zein Lucas"
"You rest first, I'll meet the others. Maybe Alya or the others will visit you after this" Zein said.
"All right"
"Yes, he's healed quickly" Zein stood up to leave.
"Yes" Clara and Zein answered completely now.
There was no smile of interest from Clara's lips after Zein's departure.
Alya and Riski enter after taking turns with Zein.
"Clara you're okay, right? where is the sick? why are you doing this? later you can hurt your own life" Alya said after entering.
"Honey, don't ask questions later Clara can be dizzy to hear it" Tegur Riski.
"I'm sorry. I'm just worried" Alya answered and sat next to Clara's bed.
"How are you doing now?" Alya asked holding Clara's hand.
"It's better, thanks for visiting. I'm getting better now"
"Well, I may not have visited my best friend on this one. You even saved me earlier"
"Well, you're the best" Clara replied with a smile.
"That's absolutely true" replied Alya.
They chatted for a few minutes and Riski only watched the two with a smile.
"That's how you became very close friends" Inner Riski.
Alya and Riski finally leave because they do not want to disturb Clara's rest.
