Grasping the Miss (A Waiting)
A question mark

At work, Sapphira goes to her sister's house. That night, he needed a friend to vent to spill all the flavors that were cackling in his chest,. Facing Jeff all day made him feel a tightness so deep in his chest.

"It's been 2 years, Fir. Come on, forget him." Crystal gives spirit. In fact, he was fed up with all this, especially when he saw his sister coming, he must immediately cry and say the same thing. "I still love him, brother. Why would he just leave me alone, not enough of my sacrifice all this time for him?"

Fu*ck! Wanting to, Crystal cursed in front of the bastard man who had made his sister's heart suck until now. And would love to slap Jeff's very annoying face.

"Have you ever asked him? Why leave you so?" ask Crystal. And Safira's head was answered.

Crystal took a long breath. "It looks like there's something to get straight. Try it, you can have a casual coffee with her once in a while and ask her why she left you." Crystal gave a suggestion.

"If I can do it, then I will. Seeing it from a distance alone made me feel tightness in the chest," Safira replied still with the rest of her sobs. Jeff's heart wound is so gaping in his chest cavity, plus he still loves Jeff very much, making it difficult to forget the man.

"CK!" Crystal clucked resentfully in response, not knowing how else to advise her stubborn sister, for choosing to keep her love rather than forget.

"Do you want ice cream?" crystal asked, distracting the conversation was also Safira's attention.

It is common for heartbroken people to like to eat sweet foods, such as chocolate and ice cream. Because these two foods can make the heart calm and happy.

"Can."

"Okay, good. Aksa and Anya just bought a big cup of ice cream with her Papa" Crystal said, as she moved from the living room to the kitchen. Not long after, he brought back two glasses of ice cream in his hands.

"Well, enjoy the sweet first, so that your life is more colorful not only there is bitterness in it." Crystal said as she handed her sister ice cream.

Crystal's speech contained a satirical sentence that made Safira smile bitterly.

"Thanks" said Safira, starting to put a scoop of ice cream in her mouth. It feels sweet strobery and melts in his mouth, making his feelings calmer, forgetting for a moment the problem to enjoy ice cream which is a pity if missed the taste.

"Where's my niece?"

"While swimming with her Papa in the back pool," Crystal replied, putting the empty glass on the table, and Safira did the same.

"Some, I miss that little girl" Safira muttered, as she moved to the swimming pool behind the house. Crystal followed him from behind.

On the other side. Jeff is currently at a Club night, sitting at the bartender's desk, still wearing his work clothes. But the difference is, his suit and tie has been removed, and some buttons of his shirt open showing the chest of his field that is so sexy tempting. He seemed to have been very drunk, because he had drunk too much alcohol. Yes, so he was, after not being with Sapphira, he became a drunk because by drinking, he could forget Sapphira even for a moment.

But tonight he crossed the line. The man was so drunk that he even caused chaos, and kept calling Safira by name. He was even secured by two security.

"Try to contact his relatives" the Club Manager said that night to the security who holds Jeff.

Wrong Security reached into Jeff's pants pocket, which was believed to be his phone. Luckily Jeff's phone wasn't in the lock, so the security could contact someone from Jeff's phone. No matter who he was in contact with, the most important thing was that this drunken man was immediately brought home.

Safira, who was already in the car, gasped when she heard the sound of her phone ringing. And what makes him more surprised is when he saw Jeff's name on the screen of his phone. His heart was beating uncontrollably, his hands were trembling as he was about to pick up the phone call.

"Hello" Safira answered as she placed the flat object in her ear.

" ...." said someone there, not heard clearly, so the author could not describe it.😁

"I'm sorry he made such a mess" Safira told the Club Manager that night. He also had to pay a fine because Jeff had smashed several glasses and tables at the Club that night.

Two security guards beat Jeff unconscious and put him in Safira's car.

What was on Safira's mind? Why is he still so kind to Jeff who has hurt him? Let's just say she's the dumbest woman in the world.

"Thank you, sir," Safira said, then immediately entered her car. He exhaled deeply, then looked back, where Jeff lay in the backseat. He drove his car to Jeff's apartment.

"I should've let him in the club that night. Sapphira you are too weak." muttered Safira, cursing at herself as well as Jeff.

"Saffira." Jeff deliriously called his name. The man was seen wriggling his body, starting to wake up and raving indistinctly.

Sapphira's heart beat unbearably, even he held his breath for a few seconds. In a state of unconsciousness, Jeff called out his name, does the man still love him? Sapphira wondered in her heart.

"I love you, Fir," heckled Jeff again.

Safira who was driving the car immediately pulled over, called back, making sure he did not hear wrong.

"I love you!"

Sapphira smothered her mouth with her palms, when she heard Jeff's talk. Her tears were so hard. "If you still love me, why leave me Jeff? Do you not know how tormented I am" saffron said, still looking back. Hope if Jeff hears his words, and answers the big question mark that caused Jeff to leave him.

Shut up, Jeff didn't answer. There was only a soft snoring from Jeff's lips.

Sapphira took a deep breath, wiped her tears and then, immediately continued on her way again.

Not long after, he arrived at Jeff's apartment. He is assisted by two security to bring Jeff to the front of the man's apartment unit.

"What code?" muttered Safira, when going to press the door code of the apartment.

"Miss can you go faster. Sir, it's very heavy" lamented one of the security guards, who had Jeff's hand on his shoulder.

"Yes, sorry. I was remembering it" Safira replied. His finger pressed the door code with a sense of doubt. It used to be that the door code used their engagement date. And Safira did not expect, if Jeff did not change the door code to date.
