It Turns out There's Love
27 - FEELING COMPELLED

Zafira kept running, and coincidentally in the living room and living room was quiet, maybe the whole house was performing the magrib prayer, so Zafira does not need to say goodbye to Tina or anyone else who is there.

Zafira immediately got into the car and stuck gas leaving Fariz who had arrived near the car.

"Zafira, Zafira wait!," the man still had time to pat the car glass but Zafira did not heed.

Fariz rushed into his Pajero Sport car and no less quickly, immediately stepped on the brakes.

Security who was standing in front of the fence in a hurry to open the fence and was surprised to see Zafira's car traveling at high speed followed by Fariz's car behind him. The security just shook his head while closing the fence back and muttered inwardly.

"What is Zafira in such a hurry to leave the house? Must be making a fuss with Fariz. It seems like there is something between them. Do they like each other?" the Security heart wondered with a knotty smile.

On the street, Zafira was still crying while looking at the right rearview mirror watching the situation at the back. His eyes could catch Fariz's car following him.

It happened to follow between the two luxury cars. Zafira's white Honda Civic was at the front, while Fariz's black Pajero Sport was at the back about ten yards.

Zafira kept crying. The girl felt very sad why Fariz could do such a rough thing to her even though Fariz had been a very kind, gentle and very considerate man and prioritized himself, but today in an instant Fariz's attitude changed drastically, Zafira felt unrecognizable to Fariz.

Due to the chaos of his mind and withstanding his deep feelings of sadness, Zafira did not notice the way back home. He drives while daydreaming and crying so that makes his brain work out of sync with what he does.

The girl directs the car not towards the house but takes the opposite direction to the house. Even if he went home according to the route he used to pass, surely now he has reached home, because the distance between his home and Fariz's house only takes five minutes to ten minutes.

Fariz, who was behind, became confused as to why Zafira took the opposite route to his house.

"Where are you going? This is not the way home. Do you not realize that the road you pass is not the way back home?" inner Fariz increasingly anxious.

Fariz pressed the horn repeatedly trying to resuscitate Zafira if the girl was wrong to take the road but the speed of Zafira's car remained undiminished, continuing to speed.

Seeing the girl he loved still drove his car at high speed, inevitably Fariz helped press the gas deeper and speed up the speed of his vehicle intended to chase and precede Zafira's car.

About five minutes Fariz tried to catch up with Zafira's car and finally the man's efforts succeeded. Now Fariz's car position has been in front of Zafira's car.

Fariz slowed down the vehicle to allow Zafira to slow down.

The man peeked out of the rearview mirror inside and the rearview mirror to the right, and it appeared that Zafira's car was starting to reduce speed. The girl was forced to slow down as she followed Fariz's slow-moving car in front of her.

Fariz turned on Hazard's lights to code Zafira to slow down and be careful.

The man's eyes remained focused on seeing the position of Zafira's car from the right and left rearview mirror and the inner rearview in turn.

After Fariz saw that Zafira's car was running slowly behind his car, Fariz turned off Hazard's lights and replaced it by turning on the left turn signal to Zafira that he would immediately stop the car.

Fariz stepped on the brakes slowly and his eyes remained unkempt on the rearview mirror looking at the car behind him that seemed to have helped stop his car.

Now, the two luxury cars stopped on the side of the road that is not a protocol road so that vehicles are rarely passed and the atmosphere is also quite quiet especially when the time has shown at seven pm. Activity in the area has also begun to decrease, only a few cars and motorbikes seem to still pass there.

Fariz got out of the car and ran to the white car that was still parked with the glass still closed.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk"

"Zafira, open the door!" the handsome man knocked on the car glass from outside with a panicked look on his face.

Fariz could see from the outside of the glass, the girl still placed both hands on the steering wheel with a straight forward look without turning her head in the slightest at the man who kept knocking on the windshield of the car.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk"

"Zafira, do you hear me? I want to talk to you, "call Fariz back to knock on the windshield but the girl still doesn't care about Fariz's call.

"Tuk, tuk, tuk, tuk,"

"I beg you to get out Zafira. I'm sorry I treated you so harshly. I was not intentionally. I won't repeat it again. Please just open the door for a second, Zafira," Fariz tried to pull the car door handle but it was still locked.

"Zaffira! I promise I won't act like that again. I'm khilaf. Please forgive me" Fariz said regretfully.

Fariz kept calling Zafira and asking the girl to get out of the car but Zafira deliberately deafened her hearing.

Zafira was still heartbroken by Fariz's harsh treatment. All his life, only this time Fariz was being unkind to him.

Zafira's heart felt very sad because the Fariz she knew was a figure who always treated her gently and affectionately but in a matter of seconds suddenly became a stranger. Rough and temprament. Fariz was basically a very patient man, very different from what happened in the room.

If you remember the incident, it feels like Zafira does not want to forgive the man again. He was so surprised to accept Fariz's rude attitude that he had never seen before.

Fariz did not stop knocking on the windshield and continued to call out Zafira's name from the outside, but the girl was still reluctant to open the windshield and let Fariz stand outside.

Fariz was still trying to peek out of the glass, looking as if Zafira was wiping her tears. The man felt even more guilty for making Zafira shed tears. All her life, only this one time did she make the girl cry.

If time could be turned back, he would never make the girl he loved tear apart. How much love Fariz had for Zafira that just seeing Zafira cry could make the man's heart so hurt.

"Zafira, stop crying. I admit I was wrong and I'm sorry. I know, this time you must be really disappointed in me. I'm sorry.., I promise, this is the first and last time I've done that. I beg you not to cry anymore" said Fariz, still watching Zafira from behind the glass.

Fifteen minutes passed. Zafira still survives in the car without giving Fariz a chance to talk to him.

Because he felt tired of waiting and his voice was starting to hoarse because he continued to invite Zafira to talk from outside, but Zafira did not open the car door, finally Fariz leaned back against the car glass. And a few minutes later Fariz's body was seen sagging down and sitting on the asphalt.

Zafira immediately turned to the right side and saw Fariz's head had disappeared from behind the glass.

Five minutes later, Zafira remained silent in the car, while Fariz sat on the asphalt leaning against the car door waiting until Zafira changed his mind and wanted to get out of his vehicle.

A minute later, the girl opened the glass full car then thrust a little head looking down.

It appears that the man was sitting stuck leaning his body and head on the car door by bending his legs up and putting both hands on his knees. His eyes stared blankly at the several vehicles that passed in front of him.

Zafira felt sorry to see Fariz's condition. Heart's full. Although the girl was still saddened by Fariz's harsh treatment in the room, who had brushed off her hand to make the rice she had so desperately bought was thrown to the floor, but seeing the situation of the friend who sat down stuck to make the girl's heart instantly melt.

And no matter how much his heart ached at the moment to Fariz, he still could not bear to let Fariz in such a state. Sitting on the asphalt like a homeless man who has no place to live.

And without thinking long lips Zafira immediately called his best friend.

"Fariz!," Zafira's voice sounded softly calling from above Fariz's head.
