It Turns out There's Love
28 - HEARTACHE

It turned out that Zafira's call wasn't heard in Fariz's ear. The man was still sitting fixated, but this time while closing his eyes thought of everything that would happen after tonight.

Fariz was so afraid to imagine Zafira would soon belong to another man. Zafira's decision to marry Ronald was a major disaster in her life. After this, I don't know if he's still alive? Or will she live and marry another woman but with the shadow of Zafira? Or will he die but with a body that is still running and alive?

Dashed all hope that has been built up for decades. Live happily with Zafira and live in a house full of love and affection. Hope remains hope, melted into dust flakes scattered by the wind bayu.

Feeling the call was unresponsive from Fariz, Zafira shuffled from the steering wheel and shifted to the left side seat then opened the door and stepped out through the left door.

The girl got out of the car, walked around from the front of the car towards Fariz who was still sitting motionless.

Zafira stood dumbstruck to see Fariz who was still in his original position. His heart became sad. For some reason, the girl could not see Fariz's state like that, without being ruled her heart throbbing in agony by itself.

Slowly Zafira approached her best friend and stood next to the man.

"Fariz, why sit here?" asked Zafira, who suddenly scattered Fariz's daydreams.

Fariz's ears opened wide when he heard the voice of a familiar person in his ears, a voice that was always present in his days.

At once Fariz looked up at Zafira who had been standing nearby but the man had not yet moved from his seat.

Then Zafira sat down and watched Fariz's disheveled face. There was a sense of anxiety emanated from the look in Zafira's eyes looking at the man who was still sitting leaning against the car door. The girl's hand was spontaneously stretched out to fix Fariz's messy hair. The girl gently combed Fariz's hair with her finger.

I don't know why Zafira's attitude has always been so sweet, so caring and caring to Fariz. The girl paid too much attention to the situation and always worried about Fariz if something happened to the man. Everything Zafira does flows just like that, walking as if following the heart without coercion let alone made up.

Fariz was still speechless not letting go of her gaze at the girl who was currently attentively tidying up her hair.

Happiness must be there and very felt in the heart of the man because it gets touch and attention from Zafira. The feeling that had been oscillating between sad, disappointed and injured, eroded already with just the touch of the girl's finger.

Using both of his eyes, Fariz continued down the eye, the girl's nose and face were covered with love, but the person being stared at was still busy combing Fariz's hair so he didn't realize he was being stared so deeply by the man.

Feeling that Fariz's hair did not look messy anymore, the girl also invited Fariz to wake up.

"Let's get up" Zafira held the man's arm and helped him stand up.

When he saw Zafira's face appear before him, Fariz's heart became happy and for a moment forgot the pain that was plaguing him because of the news of the friend's marriage. The man's eyes still did not turn to look at the beautiful figure that was now beside him.

Fariz stood up immediately. And now the two have stood next to each other with Zafira's hand still attached to the man's arm.

Zafira looked up slightly at the man next to her who turned out that the man's eyes were also looking at her. For a few seconds the two looked at each other. Fariz enjoyed the girl's shady gaze for just seconds as Zafira had removed the grip from Fariz's arm without giving an answer and walked away from the man more to the edge and stood behind the Honda The civic is still parked there.

The man followed from behind and stood in front of Zafira.

Zafira stood. Even though her face was still a little pale but still looked so beautiful under the street lights that emitted a dim light right into her face. And it was clear that the beautiful look was still stiff without even touching the slightest smile.

"I know you must have been tired all day, forgive me," the man continued feeling regretful as he looked at the pale face in front of him.

Zafira was still silently staring. His eyes did not want to stare at Fariz, deliberately looking towards the highway watching the several passing vehicles. The girl's lips were tightly closed.

"I'm sorry Zafira.., I'm completely unaware of what I did just now. I'm just confused about my life right now. I know, you must be sad about my attitude. Please forgive me." said Fariz pleading and venturing to reach and hold the girl's hands.

Again and again the man's heart trembled and felt warm as he touched the delicate hand of the beautiful girl, but he tried to calm all the feelings in him by not caring too much about the vibration of love that began to disturb him.

In a slow motion, Zafira let go of Fariz's handrails and stared intently at the man before her.

"You're evil! Why can you take that long? All this time I've never received such treatment from you, but you've made me sad and disappointed. For decades we were together, never once did you yell at me, but just now you brushed my hand aside and ignored my good intentions. Nasian. Plate's broken. You have surprised me with your attitude. Where was Fariz I knew first? Who has always been gentle and kind to me? I feel like I don't know you. You have changed now. Much different from the Fariz I've known all along," said the girl expressing her disappointment with a face that seemed to hold back tears.

Fariz could see the sadness on Zafira's face that was about to cry. The man is aware of the mistake he has made and hopes to get an apology from the girl who is currently still wrapped in pain.

"I know, I was wrong, so I'm sorry. I didn't do it on purpose. It's only natural that you feel disappointed in me, my attitude has gone too far. I was also confused as to why I could do such a rough thing to you. If you want to scold me, I will accept it, but please understand my condition, Zafira. I did it because my mood was not good" Fariz admitted.

"Yes, I'm hurt, sad and disappointed in you. I tried so hard to buy your favorite rice to put aside my fatigue, but you threw it away. Aren't you thinking about my feelings?" asked Zafira in a stifled voice.

"Yes Zafira, I'm aware of my mistake. I know you're tired, I should have understood your tired condition instead of being rude to you making you cry. Once again forgive me..," asked Fariz expectantly as he looked at Zafira who stood with a face drawn tired.

"Yes, I'm tired, Fariz! All day I was tired of working and for hours I thought about what I was wrong with you that made you suddenly not want to talk to me. I tried so hard to persuade you but you don't care about me at all even you have made me hurt with your attitude. I don't want to forgive you anymore! You're evil! You rude man! The tempramental! Your attitude is no longer as gentle as it used to be. I'm sad to remember that" Zafira's voice raspy and couldn't hold back her crying anymore.

The heartache, sadness and disappointment melded into one in Zafira's heart and spilled it with tears.

Fariz was silent at Zafira's words. He pondered, trying to recall the incident a few minutes ago in his room. Guilt and regret bind his heart.

Fariz realized, his attitude was already out of bounds so that Zafira became so hurt by his treatment. For decades he had been gentle with Zafira but in just a matter of seconds, he turned into a rude man in Zafira's eyes.
