It Turns out There's Love
46 - ALWAYS THERE FOR YOU

"Yes, I'll do that. Soon I will find a future wife and will introduce her to you soon" replied Fariz. He also did not know which wife he would introduce to Zafira. Getting to know a girl was reluctant, how would you introduce a wife to Zafira?

"That means you will forget me and be busy with your wife?" Zafira revealed a question that stuck her heart out.

Fariz tried to think of an answer to Zafira's question. He has not found the right answer, because he alone does not know what he will do later after Zafira has really been married.

Seeing Fariz just silent without giving any answer to him, Zafira felt increasingly unsettled and again questioned the uneasiness in her heart.

"Fariz, why don't you answer? Is it true that after you get married, you will forget about me and will be busy with your wife? Do you remember when you said I was married, you were leaving town? Is it true that you will move out of this city like you said a while ago? Please tell me that all is not true? You don't really want to do that, do you?," Zafira deliberately attacked Fariz's questions and looked at Fariz full of probes. He wanted Fariz to give a clear answer to him and give certainty so that his heart could calm down.

Fariz was surprised to hear Zafira's question. The man furrowed both eyebrows trying to think and recall the words he had said to Zafira.

After a few seconds of trying to remember, his memory finally came back bright. He recalled telling Zafira that if one day the girl got married, she would move out of town to forget about Zafira. He did not expect, it turns out that the girl still did not forget his words and still remembers it to this day.

"Don't worry. I won't forget you. Later Zafran and I will take the time to always meet you. Okay, now I'm pulling back on what I said back then. I promise you, I will not move from this city and I will stay here" Fariz was forced to recant his words and desire to leave the city because he did not want to make Zafira sad.

The girl immediately smiled a smile. He was very happy to hear Fariz's reply. Now that he had heard for himself, the man had already withdrawn his words and promised not to move away from this city, making his heart calm down.

"Thank you, you're really good. Don't ever leave me even if I'm married. I need you and Zafran, because all this time I've been used to you. If later I have problems, I will need you guys very much" said Zafira quietly with great hope to the friend to always be around him.

"You just calm down. I'll always be there for you" Fariz gave an answer that made Zafira's heart calm.

The picture of a happy smile on Zafira's lips heard Fariz's reply which convinced her that the man would continue to be around her.

"Now I can just calm down and feel happy to welcome my wedding day. Now I'm relieved that you promised me you wouldn't stay away from me and wouldn't move out of this city. Thank you, Fariz. You are indeed my best friend," said the girl smiling happily staring at a moment the man next to her then turned her eyes back, looking at the sparkling lake water thrown hard because of the wind that suddenly blew strong.

A gust of wind that was strong enough to make Zafira reflexly close her eyes inhaling the air around her while slightly raising her head enjoying the touch of wind that swept her face and body.

The handsome man beside Zafira observed the girl who was currently being closed in breathing the soul-soothing afternoon air without realizing that her attitude was being stared at closely by her immortal devotee.

Fariz was stunned to see the beauty of Zafira which is currently still closed with her head slightly turned up. The girl seemed to enjoy the cool breeze on the edge of the lake. Shows the curve of his neck white and level. Puffed nose. Beautiful lips tightly clenched. Long hair draped around his waist in the wind flew to and fro giving off a fragrant aroma until it pierced into Fariz's nose. Increasingly made the man's heart gasp and raise his eyes to look at Zafira with all his content.

Maybe this afternoon was the last time he could get this close to Zafira and be able to look at and enjoy the beautiful face and smell of that body.

"Why are you so beautiful, Zafira? I can't forget you. Your face, your eyes, your lips, I cannot forget them. Impossible for me to do that. I could not imagine all yours to belong to another man," Fariz's inner being frightened, her heart re-sliced.

The man felt presented with the fruit simalakama. Eaten dead Mother, not eaten dead Father. He did not know whether to give Zafira or not? His heart was not ready to do all that.

Fariz's heart was torn apart. His heart was throbbing pain, back the pain was aloofing him.

With no other choice, she must learn to betray Zafira for the sake of her happiness even though she has to sacrifice her own feelings.

Not wanting to dissolve in the sadness that continues to stab the heart, the man suddenly released a laugh.

"Funny to us. We used to be both small playing in this park and lake. We race chases and play hide and seek. But soon you will be married. It didn't feel like much time had passed, "Fariz laughed as he wiped his tears.

It turned out that without realizing it, clear water had dripped from his eyes. His heart was so sad to imagine Zafira in the underwriting with other men. He did not know what to do after seeing Zafira belong to someone else.

This park and lake bear witness that his love for Zafira from the past to the present day remains unchanged.

Tears that had just flowed in the corner of the eye, now dripped on the cheek. And with a hasty movement Fariz removed it. Luckily Zafira did not see that because she was still busy closing her eyes.

The girl opened her eyes again while fixing her long hair that was covered in wind covered part of her face.

"Yes, really funny. At that time I was always a winner when we had a race chase," Zafira also laughed considering their childhood.

The truth is, it wasn't Zafira who won but Zafran and Fariz who always pretended to give up in order to make the girl happy.

Fariz shook his head at Zafira's words, which he thought were very funny. Until now Zafira did not know that in fact he was deliberately made to win by twin brothers and his best friend.

Fariz glanced at the clock in his hand.

"Come, let's go home now," the man asked later.

Zafira nodded and they walked to the car.

When the two reached the front of the car, as usual Fariz immediately opened the car door for the girl and let her in.

"Come in" Fariz ordered, still standing by the car door.

Zafira complied and immediately set foot into the car, but she undoed the intention of getting into the car and turned back to face Fariz.

" Fariz, thank you for today. Thank you for blessing my marriage," said Zafira holding the man's hand, looking at him fixedly.

Fariz's body warmed up as the delicate hand touched his hand. But he did not want to look at the girl in front of him. He was afraid that his love would be even harder to get rid of if he kept staring at the girl.

"Yes," Fariz nodded with a smile.

Zafira let go of his hand and after leaving a smile for Fariz, the girl got into the car.

Before long the two cars went hand in hand. A white Honda Civic is in front. The black Pajero Sports tailed behind him.

After Fariz escorted Zafira to the front of the gate and made sure the girl was safe at home, the man continued his journey home.
