After getting her seat, Zaky and Rania started to sit down. As Rania turned her head towards the side, she was surprised to see someone she knew. Unknowingly, he said his name.
"Flood!"
Feeling his name called, inevitably the woman who was cool talking to her friends also turned to Rania.
"Oh, Rania. You're here, too apparently. Who are you coming with?"
"I'm the same friend" answered Rania as she was.
But Farah did not believe because Rania could have lied to him because she did not want to be discovered by him. Moreover, he seemed to know that the friend that Rania considered this had come to the office several times just to meet Rania.
Farah said in her heart, "impossible!" It could be that Rania lied to him for not wanting to be caught.
"Who are you?" rania's question suddenly made Farah's negative thoughts challenge Rania to become exhausted instantly.
"Oh, that. I'm the same friend, too," he said a lie because he did not want to be known by Rania.
If Rania finds out, Rania will tell Khanif. Honestly, he also had a feeling for the Khanif. Even though she has a boyfriend, if she can get more. Better and better looking why not? That's why he deliberately lied. After all, his girlfriend was buying him popcorn and drinks, so surely his girlfriend whom he admitted in front of Rania as a friend, would not know.
"I guess the same ...."
"Boyfriend? No," elak Farah assured.
But without Farah knowing, his words were just heard by his newly arrived lover. But her lover still pretends not to know because of his deep love for Farah, able to cover everything.
The movie finally started. Both Farah and Rania no longer talk to each other because both have now focused on a big screen that displays movies that are popular today. The two women dissolve in the atmosphere in the film. Pop corn in each hand was not left behind to accompany them in watching the film.
Zaky who is beside Rania was not too focused on the film in front of him because in fact he invited Rania to go watch so as to be closer to Rania and also so that Rania knew that all this time he had been has kept a sense of more than just a friend.
Zaky sometimes glanced at Rania who used to display a different facial look. Sometimes smiling, laughing and sometimes looking sad. Zaky who knew that this happened because of the film they watched was sometimes smiling funny. He did not expect that Rania could be this serious in watching the film.
Upon learning of that, Zaky's heart warms. How not, Rania alone can be this serious in watching movies let alone serious in her future relationship! Ah, thinking about it made Zaky ashamed. Nothing yet, he had already thought far ahead of him.
Without Zaky realizing because he was not too focused on the film in front of him, it turns out the film has just ended. Rania who was about to move was so surprised when Zaky did not show signs to get out of this cinema. Rania then flicked her hand in front of Zaky's face and succeeded.
Zaky was made by Rania. He felt ashamed at once because he had been found in seeing Rania. But hopefully Rania does not realize that, neat in her heart.
"Let's get out" said Zaky.
Rania stepped out first followed by Zaky behind her.
"Did you enjoy the movie?" zaky asked as they continued walking to the car park.
"Hem. Of course."
"Next time I'll take you again."
Rania just smiled. In any case, he must not get used to going out the night continuously. If Zaky takes her in the afternoon or evening on Sunday, it is likely that Rania will accept her invitation.
Upon Zaky's arrival at Rania's house, he gets out of his car to open Rania's door.
"Thank you for tonight" said Rania.
"Either. All right, I'll go first. Happy beautiful dreams."
Rania nodded. Rania went into her house. Seeing that Rania was lost behind the door, Zaky drove back to his own house. Along the way, Zaky kept smiling. She remembers how she spent the night watching a movie with Rania. A very difficult woman to get her heart.
Zaky continued to smile even though he had reached his home. Mother who was waiting for Zaky's return in front of the tv became astonished when she saw the unusual behavior of the eldest child. Zaky who realized that mother noticed him, immediately became clumsy. He then went near her and once again took her hand to kiss.
Well, this is his habit. Kissing a parent's hand before and after leaving is an obligation he cannot leave behind. Moreover, Zaky had great respect for the single parent who had raised him with great difficulty.
"Assalamu'alaikum, mother."
"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. How's the road?" ask your mother directly as Zaky joins her sitting in front of the television.
"Alhamdulillah, smoothly mother," he said beaming.
Mother can certainly see it. Her heart as a mother knew that this child had more feelings for the woman she was invited to go watch tonight.
"So how's your relationship going?"
Zaky turned to the mother. "We're just friends, mother."
"Did you have any intention of changing that limit?"
Zaky smiled softly and shyly. Of course he knows what the mother means. But as a boy who has never been this close to a girl, he is afraid that he will have to step forward a little. Tonight invites Rania to watch together, she emboldened herself. He even made preparations for days.
"Zaky wants to, but Zaky doesn't know what Rania's up to because we've been friends all along."
Mother then nodded Zaky's hand. "First mom and dad did too. We've had a month-long approach, if you say now it's the same as ta'aruf. Mother and father also agreed to continue our relationship to the level of marriage." Mother was silent for a moment before continuing her words, "it is not good for a man often close to a woman without any intention to step forward. You're an adult, so I hope you'll think about it more."
"Yes, mother. Zaky promise."
"Hem. Go get some rest, tomorrow you're in the morning, right?"
"Yes, bun. If so, Zaky go to the room first."
Zaky will think of the word of his mother. Who knows, Rania only considers him as a friend because actually Rania wants to have a serious relationship (marriage) rather than just being a boyfriend who is not yet clear status going forward, as he has known all along.
"Maybe," murmured Zaky.
