Between Love and Friendship
45

Zara put the fruits she bought on the nightstand next to Desta's bed. Desta simply smiled and thanked him in a soft voice. Desta is still unable to talk much or speak louder. The wound still feels sore.

" Eat, baby." Zara prepared the food she brought to Alfie.

Alfi smiled happily because gradually Zara was like receiving it back in her heart. Alfie fed the food with gourmand. I can't imagine her happiness at this moment. Unasked. Zara made food for him.

" Thank you dear. The food is so good." Alfi said full of sincerity and happiness.

" Thank God you like it."

" Want fruit?" Tanya Alfi turned to Desta.

" Can."

" Avocado yes. Don't be so hard. It will be hard to digest." Said Alfi and was replied with a nod by Desta.

Patiently and patiently. Alfi feeds Desta avocado fruit. While Zara only busies herself by scrolling her social media on mobile.

" Are you still a long time?" Zara asked, getting bored. How Alfi and Ken felt at home to stay on guard for a long time here even for days.

Alfi looked at the clock on her wrist. " Ken is coming soon." Alfie.

" Long live." Desta said with a faint smile and at the same time Alfi looked towards Ken who had just entered.

" why? I'm talking about ya.." Gurau Ken responded to the small laughter of Alfi and Desta.

Ken stepped up and came to a halt when he saw Zara sitting on the sofa staring fixedly at him. Suddenly the events of this morning came to Ken's mind where he kissed Zara violently. Buru-buru Ken turned his face and went back to Desta.

" I'll go to the toilet first." Alfi whispered to Ken and immediately walked out of Desta's room.

" Where is Alfi going?" Zara asked who was confused to see Alfi come out just like that.

" Toilet." Ken answered briefly without looking at Zara.

" How are you doing?" Ask Ken to Desta.

" Much better."

" Have you eaten?" Ask Ken again. Desta replied with a nod. " A medicine?"

" A little while." Desta replied weakly. Ken who actually knew about Desta's medication schedule just smiled. It's just a stale question.

" Ken." Call Zara feel ignored.

" Yes."

" I want to talk."

" Alfie is coming back soon. Please talk to me if there is an Alfi."

" But Ken.."

Ken turned his gaze sharply towards Zara. " Can I ask you something?"

" Please."

" What's the reason you're going to continue your marriage with Alfi?" Ken asked with eyes fixed on Zara.

Zara fell silent. Not expecting Ken to ask when Desta was among them.

" Desta knows everything. So answer me." Urge Ken.

Zara took her breath in. " You." Said Zara making Ken's forehead linked. " You're the reason for me, Ken."

Ken threw a meaningful smile and turned his face away not wanting to hear more of Zara's reason.

" Why are you avoiding?" Zara's replacement urges Ken to look back at her.

" Look, we never talked about this." Ken said firmly. Desta just took a deep breath. It felt like he was looking for Zara with various questions and lecturing Zara. But the circumstances are not possible.

" Tumben's a full toilet." Alfi's complaint just appeared. " Let's go home, honey" said Alfi to take Zara out.

" I unplug first" said Alfi greeting Ken and Desta with the style of greeting their friendship.

" Brave your heart." Ken Say.

" Yes."

*******

A week has passed. Desta's been allowed to go home. Even if you have to control again. But that made Desta happy. Especially this time Arsyi took him home. Relationships that once ran aground. Now intertwined again. Ken helped carry Desta's stuff in a big bag. Arsyi pushed the wheelchair that Desta was riding in.

" It's a pity that Alfi can't bring me home."

" There will be me Arsyi." Ken cheerfully. Ken stuffed Desta's stuff in Arsyi's trunk. And Ken himself drove his bike to Desta's house.

Ken waited for Desta on the porch of his house. Seemed from outside the house deserted like uninhabited. Yes, Desta lives alone.

" Welcome, Desta!" Speak to the people in his house in unison.

Alfi, Zara, Kinan, Caca, the Desta Family and Arsyi's parents join Desta's welcoming party. Desta smiled widely and almost shed tears from being moved. All this time they cared so much.

" Welcome, my dear. Welcome back home." Monik and kiss Desta's cheek. And so is Burhan.

" Don't do it again. Inget you're not Ken's equal." Guru Derin Desta's.

Desta only laughed lightly in response.

" Well and Aunt don't know what else to say to you. But om and aunt are very grateful because you defended Arsyi." Papa Arsyi said full haru.

Mama Arsyi gave Desta a jewelry box. Desa accepted the little jewelry box and opened it.

" Ring?" Tanya Desta did not understand.

" Put the ring on Arsyi's finger." Mama Arsyi said with a happy smile.

Arsyi approached and stood in front of Desta. Slowly. Desta pinned the ring on Arsyi's ring finger. And applauded boisterously.

" Drappy fiancee." Ken's whisper mocked Desta who kept smiling widely.

" Sirik aja lo!"

" I'll also be followed." Say Ken again.

" Sono's. Neither did papa." Said Desta upset that Ken didn't stop teasing her.

Ken laughed at the look on Desta's upset face.

Kinan walks up to Ken and holds Ken in his hand when he accidentally sees Zara stealing a glance at Ken who is joking with Desta.

" Just keep on going." Sindir Desta's.

" Let's not be taken by the actor!" Said Kinan with his tail glancing sharply at Zara.

" It's." Ken mediates. Don't want to ruin Desta's happy show.

" Overall. I have a husband still lyrics boyfriend people!" Omel Kinan whispered to Ken.

Ken smiled looking at Kinan's cute annoyed face. " You jealous?" Ask Ken but in a soft tone.

" Shy!"

" You're jealous." Ken repeated his words.

" i'm you're a little bit of a bitch." Omel Kinan and pinched Ken's waistband.

Ken laughs and tails his eyes catch if Zara observes his behavior with Kinan. Ken deliberately looked at Zara and smiled a smile full of courtesy at Zara. She is, after all, the wife of her best friend. Because the figure of Alfi Ken still want to be friends with Zara.

" I'm going to the toilet for a minute." Zara told Alfie.

" Should I take you?"

" I'm alone." Zara said quickly and quickly passed from the presence of Alfi.

Zara walked in search of Ken. Somehow Zara always couldn't control herself not to see Ken. Zara sees Ken bringing Desta into the room. Zara quickly followed to Desta's room.

" Why what are you doing?" Tanya Desta felt strange because Zara was entering suddenly.

Ken only caught a glimpse of it and again helped Desta to lie down on the bed. Desta did have a lot of rest to speed up the recovery process.

With cuek. Ken walked towards the door where Zara was still standing nearby.

" Ken."

" There's nothing to talk about, Zar." Say Ken cold and pull the door handle.

" Just Ken for a minute." Zara hugged Ken tightly making Ken stop his steps.

" Depart, Zar."

" Just Ken for a minute."

Ken took his breath and broke Zara's body from her. " It's not because of Alfie. I'll never know you again!" said Ken.

" It's not because of Alfie. Maybe we're together, Ken." Zara lirih.

Ken only snorted bitterly at Zara's words and immediately came out of Desta's room.

" That's the same thing as Ken?" said desta but sounded like insulting Zara.

" You won't know how I feel!" zara said annoyed and immediately came out of Desta's room.
