...༻∅༺...
After Zidan's departure, Zerin went into the house. He immediately asked his mother to talk.
"Mom, please keep my relationship with Zidan a secret for a while. After all, we've been dating for a few weeks" Zerin said. Sitting right next to Lia.
"alright. Do you also want to keep it a secret from Amira?" ask Lia.
Zerin nodded. "From everyone, Mom. Now only Mom knows about my relationship with Zidan" he explained.
Lia took a long breath. He grasped Zerin's hand gently.
"But you have to be smart to take care of yourself. You're a girl, Rin. Must carefully. A good man like Mr. Zidan can also be a khilaf." Lia giving away.
Zerin smiled and nodded. But in his heart responded, 'If Mother knew, Zidan's behavior exceeded that of the khilaf.'
When the time showed at eight o'clock in the evening, Zerin went to the gym. As usual, he would exercise with his friends. But this time Zerin was accompanied only by Astrid. Kinar and Gita happened to be unable to come along because there was a rush.
Now Zerin and Astrid have just climbed a treadmill. As usual, they wore tight sports suits. Honestly, the presence of Zerin became the center of attention of the men in the gym.
Many men tried to get close, but Zerin was always indifferent. The goal is to go to the gym just to exercise.
"Rin, have you done her job, Miss Retno? Oath yes. I learned a lesson about dizzy nerves" Astrid said.
Zerin was silent. Since this afternoon, Zidan's confession to his mother continues to be imagined. Somehow Zerin felt constantly haunted by Zidan. He doesn't want himself to continue to be.
"Rin? Zerin?!" call Astrid. Because Zerin did not respond to his words.
"Eh, yes." Zerin instantly woke up. He rubbed his neck in shame.
"What dreamy night? Still haven't moved on from Adi's sister?" astrid hatch. Seeing Zerin smiling wryly, he turned a panted eyeball. Then continue, "mending you try to be close to other men. It's possible that moving on could be faster."
"True as well. But I didn't meet a man I could trust" Zerin responded.
Coinciding with that, Zidan and his two friends look like they just came. Astrid became the first to notice their arrival.
"I know who. Ernest! He has always been kind to you" Astrid said, pointing at Ernest with her chin.
Zerin automatically turned his head in the same direction as Astrid. Instead of focusing on Ernest, Zerin's attention was focused on Zidan. The sensation of the heart fluttering back he felt. Zerin immediately threw away his face.
"Where? Want to join them?" fresh Astrid.
"If it were just Ernest, I would. It's a little hard if there's Zidan and Jaka." Zerin.
"What if I go there and tell Ernest to make your friends?"
Zerin seemed to think for a moment. At the end he smiled and nodded in agreement. He does need a diversion to stop thinking about Zidan. Zerin did not want to fall in love with Zidan. It is like a trap that must be avoided as much as possible.
Astrid then ran over to Zidan and his friends. He also told me that Zerin wanted to talk to Ernest. The thing Astrid told him made Ernest happy not to be a bitch. The man smiled brightly and rushed over to Zerin.
It's different with Zidan. His expression immediately pouted. Zidan could only see Zerin and Ernest from a distance. Both look familiar. They also laugh occasionally. It was as if there was something funny they were talking about.
Zidan continued to observe. I don't know why his heart feels shallow. He felt something was making him angry.
Zidan tried to wake himself up. Because he had thought that he was angry with the closeness of Zerin and Ernest. The man still refused to deduce his feelings. As a result, Zidan vented it by lifting a barbell weighing 50 kg.
While Astrid is still there, she enjoys Zidan's activities. The girl did not stop smiling as she put her hands together in front of her chest.
Astrid clapped her hands when she saw Zidan successfully lift a 50 kg barbell. The man ended up breathing heavily. He threw out the barbell with a feeling of annoyance.
Zidan's eyes glanced sharply at Zerin and Ernest. He then tried to lift a barbell measuring 70 kg. Now what he does becomes everyone's spectacle. Because rarely there are gym connoisseurs who desperately lift the barbell to such a weight.
Zidan's efforts have been successful. He got cheers and applause as a compliment to her.
The commotion that occurred rang out all the way to where Ernest and Zerin were. The two turned towards Zidan.
"I'm glad I'm a child again. Zidan does that sometimes, Rin. Wanna see it there?" take Ernest.
Zerin. "No. We're just here," he responded. Deliberately ignoring what Zidan is doing. He tried not to care.
Time shows ten o'clock at night. Zerin stood in front of the gym entrance. He's waiting for Ernest. Zerin agrees to be sent home by the man.
After a few minutes, Ernest finally appeared. Behind him are Zidan and Jaka. Zidan was seen staring intently at Zerin. He did not know why he wanted to be angry.
"Guys, I'm with Zerin first!" ernest said as he waved his hand.
"Hopefully, Nest!" pekik Jaka's. "Be careful, Rin! Ernest can bite sometimes!" continued. Intends kidding.
Jaka turned to look towards Zidan. He realized his friend had been pouting ever since. It was as if something was troubling Zidan's mind.
"And are you okay? Any more problems?" ask Jaka while embracing Zidan.
"Eh, it's okay. I'm just exhausted, like," replied Zidan. Forcing himself to smile.
"Sok-kokan lift barbel everything," commented Jaka. He and Zidan will be home soon.
On his own, Zidan's feelings of annoyance returned. He tried hard to throw away everything about Zerin. But the thought of the woman continues to haunt.
'What will Zerin do with Ernest? Did Zerin like Ernest and intend to date the man? Did Zerin never care about me?' The question lingered and rang repeatedly in Zidan's head.
"Damn it!!!" sumpat Zidan's. He stopped the car to the side of the road. Then pick up the phone and call Zerin.
The first call was not picked up by Zerin. And the second call. Zidan's getting hot. His face even flushed.
When Zidan made the third call, Zerin picked up.
"Why-"
"You! I want you to go to the hotel where we used to be! Now!" peekit Zidan's. His breathing goes up and down in a fast tempo. He who was impatient, deliberately cut off Zerin's speech from across the phone.
"What?! Now then?! Zidan, aren't you tired? We just got to work out. Anyway I-"
"Not many reasons! I want us to meet! Have you forgotten everything I've done for you, huh?!"
"Zidan's... I really can't. I happen to be just coming today the moon."
Zerin's confession left Zidan speechless in a thousand languages. Without a word, he turned off the phone call first.
Bruk!
Zidan threw the phone into the car seat. He hit the steering wheel to vent his frustration. Zidan tried to let out an angry outburst that felt stuck. But that feeling is very difficult to overcome.
