Between Love and Friendship
72

Zara was sitting limp on the living room couch in Ken's apartment. Without saying a word. Ken placed a bottle of mineral water in front of Zara. Ken Engga became a listener to the sad story that Zara made herself. She should have been happy to have a husband who loved her so much and was also a cute child. But Zara's heart seems blind to Ken's love.

" Take care of me, Ken." Pinta Zara.

Ken took a breath and looked at Zara flatly. Ken just stood by the long sofa. " I warned you once. I agreed to meet you just so that your household is intact." Ken Say.

" But now Alfi's divorcing me, Ken." Said Zara lirih.

" It's elo's fault, Zar." Ken added a burden to Zara's mind.

" I just want to know about you, Ken."

" Elo's married, Zar." Ken's fast. " It's not worth it to be here at this hour!" Added Ken.

Zara fell silent.

" Why am I going all day? I want to be free of Elo! Elo is like a prank in my life!" Ken was upset. " It should have stayed away by itself instead of coming to my house at night!" Ken expressed his frustration.

" It's malem. If you want to sleep. Tuhs. Sleep in that room. Alfi's gonna pick you up tomorrow!" Say Ken and go into his room.

Zara cried alone. Regretting will no longer be useful. His little family is already ruined because of his blind love.

******

The clock is showing at seven in the morning. Ken has been awake since dawn and has been exercising around the apartment complex. Ken's routine every time he has time.

' Tok tok tok'

" Breakfast Zar." Call Ken to Zara.

Ken didn't hear any voice. Maybe Zara's still asleep after a whole night of crying. Ken ate his breakfast alone. What he used to do.

" Zara's. Eat." Call Ken again because Zara doesn't come out of the room when she's done breakfast.

I felt a little suspicious of Zara. Slowly Ken opened the door to the room that Zara had occupied last night. Ken was shocked to find Zara collapsed with her wrist slashed. Blood had flooded the floor.

" Zar." Ken's face turned frantic and immediately carried Zara's body. Ken still felt Zara's pulse even though it was very weak.

Ken drove his car at high speed. Lucky today is a holiday. The streets are not as crowded as they are on a typical day. Ken drove his car out of concern for the police patrol car that was chasing him. Ken further increased his vehicle speed and turned to a nearby hospital and only stopped him in front of the ER room. Ken immediately holds Zara's body and takes her into the ER room so that Zara can be handled immediately.

After making sure Zara has been handled. Only then did Ken come out of the ER room to meet the police who were chasing him earlier.

" Good morning, sir." Ken greeted the police officer first.

" I'm sorry, sir my speed exceeds the maximum limit. But my friend is in critical condition." Ken explained.

" Why your friend?"

" It looks like he tried to commit suicide by slashing his veins."

Because of that word. Be Ken a witness to be asked for testimony. The ticketing event turned into a BAP event.

After Ken explained in detail the matter of Zara. The two police officers resigned. Ken breathed a sigh of relief because the doctor who handled Zara said that Zara's condition had begun to stabilize. Zara still needs blood transfusions. Fortunately, Zara did not cut her veins until she broke up. The team of doctors were able to save Zara's life.

Ken immediately contacted Alfi and informed him of Zara's current state.

" Why did this happen, Ken?" Alfi said in a regretful tone.

" It's not your fault. So don't feel guilty, Al." Ken Say.

" Zara must be really sad because I'm going to bring Arkan." Alfi rubbed his face in a frenzy.

" Pray for Zara to heal quickly." Ken Say.

" I'll follow her whim whatever she asks after she wakes up, Ken." Alfie.

Five hours have passed already. Slowly Zara opened her eyes. Zara looked around. Zara would have thought when she opened her eyes she would be in another realm. But it turns out he's still in the same world.

" You're sober, Zar." Siska said it was nice to see her only daughter.

" Mama." Zara said in a weak voice.

" Why are you doing this, baby. You're not alone." Siska hugged Zara while crying bitterly. Zara's cries broke. Feel moved. Last night's events made Zara forget that she still had parents ready to accept her under any circumstances,

" Alfi divorced Zara, Ma." Zara's cries broke again.

" yes. Alfie told me everything, baby." Siska gently stroked Zara's back while hugging her.

" Mama's mad?"

" Suffering. But mama asked not to go after Ken. Ken also talked to my mom." Siska Advice.

Zara bowed.

" Mommy was suspicious when you used to walk alone with Ken. The seed of love between you will grow." Siska. "But you should be able to discern the situation, Zara. There is an Alfi that you must guard his heart. He's your husband." Say Siska again.

" Zara's not happy, Ma."

" Do you think you will be happy after you escape from Alfi? Ken doesn't want to marry you. Don't b*doh Zara." Siska was furious at her daughter's silly actions.

Zara was drowned full of regret. What his mother said was true Ken wouldn't marry her. Time and time again Ken insists he will not marry her even if she and Alfi are separated.

" You think well, Zara. Arkan needs both of his parents. Forget your love." Siska snapped for Zara to realize that her actions were wrong.

" I can borrow your mom's phone?"

" Who do you want to contact? Ken?"

Zara nodded. Not necessary.

" Zara wants to be happy, Ma."

" Ken doesn't love you, Zara!" Siska's jerking off getting upset. " Forget Ken!"

Zara's cry broke again slapped by her mother's speech.

' Cklek's'

" Thank God you're sober." Said Ken who just entered Zara's room and gave food to Zara's mother.

" Because Zara was conscious. Excuse me for coming home, Auntie." Ken wants to get out of there.

" Sit, Ken. Auntie wants to talk for a minute." Siska's orders,

Ken was sitting on the couch in Zara's room.

" Do you want to marry Zara?" Siska asked looking at Ken.

" What?!" Ken sedikkt was surprised to be suddenly asked like that. " I'm sorry before. I can't possibly marry Zara."

" But Ken. Don't we love each other?" Sahut Zara's.

" It used to be. But now, no, Zar. I chose to root out the seeds that once grew. And you should do the same. This is the last I said. Elo is lucky to have a husband like Alfi who still loves you sincerely." Ken confirmed the words.

" but..."

" Conscious, Zar. What always makes you happy is Alfie. Not me!" Ken's approaching Zara.

" Think about all this well. There's still a chance for you and Alfi to re-refer." Say Ken and immediately leave Zara's room.
