Between Love and Friendship
66

A month has passed since Kinan's departure. Ken is going back to his life. Ken busied himself to take care of the construction of the building owned by his father which was soon completed. Ken began to get busy with various affairs. His busyness seemed to make him forget his sadness after Kinan left for good.

" Feed Ken." Call Alfi when Zara deliberately followed Alfi to the construction site that was held by Alfi by bringing his own food..

" First of all." Ken refused.

" Don't be too busy to ignore your health." Alfie still persuaded.

Ken only glanced briefly at Alfi and again refused.

" The child is still a wayward child!" Omel Alfi and forcibly pulled Ken's hand towards the foreman's room.

" I'm still full." Ken Say.

" Eat!" Alfi said and offered a plate of food that Zara had prepared to Ken.

Ken clucked and finally accepted the food that Alfi gave him.

" It's not good to postpone mealtimes, Ken." Said Zara softly while taking food for Alfi.

Ken did not comment. He put food in his mouth. " Thanks. The food's good." Say Ken while chewing.

Somehow the praise from Ken's mouth felt like a fresh wind in Zara's heart. Zara just smiled knot.

" Aren't Arkan invited?" Ask Ken to Zara.

" Suffering. He was sleeping." Answer Zara.

" There is now Nuri who helps keep Arkan. So I'm sure Zara can date." Alfi said while teasing his wife. Zara blushed in shame.

" Five more years of dating. Not satisfied with what?!" Seloroh Ken replied.

" In the marriage. Me time for both is necessary." Sergeh Alfi fast.

Ken only smiled as he shook his head at Alfi's rant.

" Small is looking for a replacement. Let me follow you, ama Desta." Alfie.

" Belom thought again. Lah later. Any girl would want to. I'm still a slack." Said Alfi and put his last mouth into his mouth.

" I'll just pull it off again." Ken Say.

" he.. I'll do it later!"

" I want to do something at home." Ken Say.

" I'm not so good!" Alfi. " Yaudah. So please help Zara. I can't wait to see my wife take a taxi." Rayu Alfie.

" Dh!" Ken Protest. " Lagian lo Zar . There are two more idle cars why not use?!"

" Males nyetir. Let's just go up the door." Said Zara while grinning.

" Gini this!" Ken grumbling. " Yaudah spit. I'm anterin!" Ken Say.

" Thanks bro!" Said Alfi and patted Ken happy on the shoulder and helped Zara tidy up the lunch box she had brought.

Zara put her stuff on the back seat and sat in the passenger seat next to Ken. Being in the car just alone with Ken is able to make Zara deg-degan.

The love that Zara was as powerful as deep-seated burying could easily resurface when she helped memapah Ken a month ago.

" What are your plans after Kinan's departure?" Zara asked open the conversation.

" Nothing." Answer Ken briefly.

" No other girl's lyrics?" Ask Zara again.

" Not wanted. There are people who pay attention to me." Ken Goda. After Kinan's death. Zara diligently sent a message to Ken even though it was just a reminder.

" You still have to have a companion." Seloroh Zara covered her embarrassment.

" How is it?"

" HUHAHA..!" Ken chuckled at Zara's facial expression. " So serious! I'm kidding." Ken told Zara.

Zara laughed with an awkward face.

" It's crazy that I'm courin' someone's wife. My best friend's wife again!" Ken Say.

Zara was silent at Ken's words.

" When his wife likes you, how do you?"

' CIIIIT'

Ken braked suddenly. Fortunately they have entered the area of the Alfi house complex. There was no other vehicle behind them. Zara's words suddenly made Ken turn to Zara and look at her sharply.

" What do you mean?" Ken asked turned cold.

" No papa. Continue the road again. " Say Zara was a little nervous.

" Don't put me between Lo and Alfi again!" Ken warned Zara. " There's Arkan among you!" Keep Ken on.

" I won't put you between me and Alfi, Ken. But you're always there." Zara.

Ken clucked in annoyance at Zara's remark and threw away his gaze occasionally staring at the window beside her.

No more talking between them. Ken and Zara both speak a thousand languages. Busy with their own thoughts. Until Ken stopped his car right in front of the gate of Alfi's house.

" What I said just now. That is the reality Ken. I accept Alfie as my husband. But I can't get you out of my heart." Zara said with a sad look at Ken.

Ken didn't listen to Zara and didn't want to look at Zara. For him now. His position and circumstances seemed to return. He was again a thorn in the Alfi household.

" I'll go home first. You're heart-heart on the road." Say Zara and take her things from the back seat.

*****

Ken rubbed his face rough when he arrived at the apartment. Intentions he wanted to relax for a moment home from the construction site. This even became dizzy with Zara's words. The words that Zara uttered. As if stumbling on his head.

' Ddrrttt'

Ken put his phone back on when Zara's name was on the screen. Why is time so joking with him. Ken really did meeasa Dejavu.

' Ddrrttt'

Ken's phone rings again. Lazily. Ken looked back at his phone screen. This time it was named Desta.

" What?" Say Ken after sliding the green button.

" I'm in front. Open the door." Said Desta half-stomping.

Ken opened the door and saw Desta standing with a sullen face.

" Why lo?!" Ken asked looking at Desta strangely. Since marriage. Just this time he saw the pouting face of Desta.

Desta just barged in. No matter Ken hasn't let her in.

" Since she was pregnant, Arsyi was indignant." Desta said but with a tone like a person was angry.

Ken picked up a drink for Desta and put it on the table. " Just be patient. Her name is also pregnant."

" But I'm not nervous!" Omel Desta is upset.

" Oohh so you got kicked out?!" Ask Ken to make sure. Desta nodded with a bent face.

" AHAHAHAA" Ken laughed out loud.

" Lo see how hard it is!" Omel Desta is upset to see Ken laugh at his fate.

" Sorry.. Sorry.." Ken tried to stop his laughter. " Just be patient. Pregnant women are strangely innate." Said Ken advising as if he were the most experienced person.

" Sok iye lo!" Omel Desta is upset.
