It Turns out There's Love
07 - DISAPPOINTMENT

"Well, you're all grown-ups but why do you still fight?" Zafira grumbled as she continued to clean up the bruises on Fariz's lips.

Fariz's blood flow was getting more and more irregular, flowing very fast in a race with the beat of his heart that was no longer normal, beating hard.

His eyes unblinkingly stared at the beautiful face of Zafira which was right in front of his face, Fariz scanned the face every inch, from long engraved eyebrows without eyebrow pencils, clear eyes shaded, nose pointed, nose sharp, and such beautiful lips.

Fariz saw the perfection of that face, forcing his heart to not turn on the face of any girl in the world.

In Fariz's eyes, it was only Zafira who filled his heart all those years ago, despite the many classmates, who were, sister and upperclassman even schoolgirls from different schools with Fariz was a lot who liked and pursued the smart student, who was always a champion and idol in his class.

But all the advantages of Fariz, it turns out that does not apply in the eyes of Zafira, the girl never felt fascinated by all the advantages of Fariz, who is not only handsome but also good and smart.

Fariz continued to stare at Zafira with a glare of tasteful eyes, but the one being stared at was unaware. I don't know if Zafira didn't notice Fariz's gaze or if Zafira didn't want to care.

What is possible, because Zafira's heart does not have a special taste for Fariz so that makes the girl never heed anything Fariz does.

As the two sat facing each other, Fariz focused on looking at Zafira, while Zafira focused on clearing the bruises from Ronald's punches, a rebuke that shocked them.

"Oh, it turns out that my guess is right, you guys do have a relationship!," hardik Ronald who has been standing by the table.

Zafira retracted her hand, which was still stuck to the corner of Fariz's lips, then turned her gaze toward Ronald. Fariz saw Zafira's reaction as Ronald appeared in front of them.

There was a sense of pain in Fariz's heart seeing Zafira's sudden attitude to keep a distance with him after Ronald's sudden arrival, yet there was nothing Fariz could do but to shut up and look at Zafira with a glare.

"What are you guys doing here? You guys aren't shy about making out in public?" Ronald again asked with a grin.

"As you can see, we're not doing anything, I'm just cleaning up my best friend's wounds" Zafira replied casually, as Zafira did not feel fond of Fariz so the girl did not feel wrong.

Then the beautiful girl continued her words by sharpening her gaze towards Ronald who was standing about Four meters from where she was sitting at this time.

"You lied to me, you said you wanted to go down to see your mom, but what proof? You met Citra right?," sizzled Zafira with a piercing look in the basketballer.

For a moment Ronald was flabbergasted, his eyes immediately glanced sharply at Fariz who was sitting at a table with Zafira. He was sure, Fariz had recounted the incident that happened below.

"Zafira, it turns out you are easily lied to by your friend and your big admirer. I've told you that between me and Citra there is no relationship anymore. Our relationship is long over. Earlier after meeting my mama, I intended to go up again here, but when I wanted to go up, I accidentally met Citra. And as usual, she tried to seduce me into going with her shopping, but I refused. And now it's proven, right? I still come up here to see you? If indeed I still have a relationship with Citra, surely at this time I am with Citra and will not go up here again" Ronald told a long story, trying to convince Zafira with lies that he cornered with as neat as possible.

Zafira's eyeballs turned, left and right, trying to digest Ronald's storyline.

After a few minutes of thinking, the girl finally believed Ronald's words and admitted that the basketball player's explanation made sense.

"Alright, I believe everything you say," Zafira finally relented.

Ronald appears to be smiling by pulling his lips up, a smile that hints that he feels victorious because Zafira easily believes all of his words.

Fariz who heard Zafira's words immediately stood up from sitting down and walked up to the girl.

"Zaffira! What the hell are you saying? Do you believe all these playboy lies?! Let's go home, "Fariz held Zafira's hand and was about to take her away from that place.

"God! Take off Zafira's hand!," Ronald snapped and removed Fariz's hand, which was still holding Zafira's, and pulled Zafira's best friend's body away from Zafira.

Fariz's legs were dragged several steps due to Ronald's very hard hands.

Ronald had difficulty breathing, his mouth seemed to sting and began to lose oxygen. Ronald tried to remove Fariz's stranglehold from his neck but it turned out Fariz's power was strong enough to stick in the neck of the bag.

"I told you, I'd kill you if you hurt Zafira!!," Fariz whispered the word behind Ronald's ear so that Zafira could not hear what Fariz said.

Zafira who was still sitting in place, stood up straight from the chair, her hand pulling hard Fariz's hand.

"Fariz! release her! You have no shame?! It's a public place!," Zafira shouted to Fariz's surprise and within seconds instantly let go of his check.

The noise that was heard from the direction of Zafira's desk made the visitors turn their eyes towards the three people who were standing.

One by one the eyes of the people in the restaurant stripped Zafira, Fariz and Ronald in turns with astonished gazes.

Two waiters walked hurriedly towards the commotion.

"What is this mbak, mas? Please don't make a troublemaker here" said a male servant staring suspiciously at Zafira, Fariz and Ronald.

"Oh, sorry mas, nothing, just a little misunderstanding, sorry yes, I'll finish everything soon..," Zafira slightly bowed her body to the two resto waiters.

The two waiters nodded and understood Zafira's explanation and immediately left them to resolve the misunderstanding.

"You guys are! There's no shame! This is a public place, why do you even want to fight here?" Zafira closed his eyes, staring alternately at Fariz and Ronald.

"Fariz, now you're home! I don't want to see you guys making a fuss here. I'm going home with Ronald" Zafira ordered, slowly pulling the tip of Fariz's shirt.

"Zafira, what are you saying! Why do you still want to go home with this cunning guy? He's been lying to you and you still believe him?" cried Fariz still trying to resuscitate Zafira.

"It's Fariz, I'm old enough to think what's right, what's wrong. And I can take care of myself. You don't have to interfere in my business. Now I'm asking you to go home! Otherwise, I don't want to be friends with you anymore!," Zafira threatened to stare at Fariz with sharp eyes.

Fariz glued his jaws together trying to hold himself back against Zafira's attitude. Fariz squeezed and clasped his five right fingers hard, then smacked them into the air, hinting that he was holding back his irritation towards Zafira.

"Well if it wants you! I'll go!," replied Fariz annoyed, turning around and taking a quick step, leaving Zafira.

While continuing to step foot out of the restaurant, Fariz felt sad in his heart because his best friend would rather go home with Ronald than go home with him.

But he cannot blame Zafira and forces Zafira to like him. Didn't Zafran also repeatedly advised not to expect too much to his twin brother because of course Fariz would be hurt.

Fariz walked away from leaving the restaurant, his heart crumbled under the treatment of Zafira who firmly told him to leave and even threatened to break the friendship rope.

Fariz's heart ached even more considering Zafira's words. Let alone to say the word "thank you", invited home with him Zafira did not want to.

Whatever happened to him today, lips hurt, told to go by the girl of the heart, yet he still did not regret. At least he has fought hard to show Zafira about Ronald's identity, though Fariz's struggles are meaningless in the pretty girl's eyes.

"It turns out that it hurts like someone who doesn't like us? Zafira, if you had known, I was more sincere than Ronald, would you have liked me?" cried Fariz Nelangsa.

Fariz continued to walk further and further away from the resto with all the disappointments he harbored in his heart.
