Rain Teach Me Strong
Raining

After school, Zee will go straight to work. When he was close to his place of work, Zee saw a lot of people who gathered not far from his place of work. There was even a fire truck on the shoulder of the road.

The curious Zee runs into Heaven's cafe and is surprised to see what happens to the cafe where he works. The cafe is burning.

"Why can it burn" murmured Zee, staring at the cafe which was still emitting smoke.

Zee circulated his gaze, looking for his co-worker. Not far from where he stood, Zee saw his coworkers gathered there. Zee immediately approached them.

"Sister Luna...." Shouted Zee who was running towards him.

"Zee...." Luna Sahut.

Zee was with his co-worker and gathered together.

"What's going on? Why is the cafe burning?" Cecar Zee, who was very curious about everything that happened.

"I also don't know why the fire and what causes it? But obviously when I was just here, the cafe was already on fire" Luna explained.

"Where did Mr. Dito go?" Zee asked again.

"I don't know, I haven't seen Mr. Dito, yet" replied Luna.

Finally Zee and co-workers stood lethargic and waited for the fate of his job. Zee again looked at the cafe that had been greedy by the red whiz.

Then I have to find another job, but what job?

"Zee...."

Zee looks at the person who called him and turns out to be Marshall. Since breaking up with Liora, Marshall has been following Zee secretly, just to make sure of her situation. Marshall stared at Zee, full of curiosity, at what he saw - a burning cafe.

"What's? And why are you here" said Zee.

"I happen to be through here. O... yeah, why is the cafe on fire?" Ask Marshall curious.

Zee pressed his shoulder. "I don't know either. When I came it was like this" explained Zee.

Marshall approached Zee and stood beside her. It seems that Zee is in trouble.

"Have you heard from your boss?"

"Yet. Me and the others are also waiting for Mr. Dito," Zee explained.

After a long wait for the fate of his work, finally Mr. Dito came to see Zee and his coworkers. Mr. Dito was already standing in front of Zee and the others. Marshall has permission to buy drinks.

"Sorry, I just got to see you guys, because I had to meet with our boss and ask what about the fate of your work after this cafe is burned and he said that you all will be transferred to the other cafe. But. Cafe the other one's far from here. Do you want to be moved there?"

Everything is silent and looks at each other because of confusion, because the other cafe is located far from here. Zee raised one hand.

"Sir, if I don't want to be moved how?"

"If you don't want to be moved there and choose to stop, you will only get severance pay."

"Mh... Then I'll opt out, sir. You see, the cafe was too far from my school and where I might have moved" said Zee.

"Okay. If you choose to stop, what about the others?" Mr. Dito asked again while staring at the faces of his subordinates, and the answers of his co-workers Zee there were those who wanted to be moved and some who stopped.

After finishing his conversation with Mr. Dito, Zee decided to go home and Marshall was already by his side.

" Here, drink first." Marshall gave me a bottle of mineral water that was opened.

"Thank you...." Answer Zee.

"Where are you going now?" Ask Marshall.

"home."

"Before we go home, how about we get some food first, I'm hungry" Marshall said.

"Can."

Marshall and Zee are already at the Padang restaurant, both of them are eating their own food. After the meal, Marshall takes Zee to the park, and the two are now in the park.

By the lake, Zee and Marshall sat together staring at the calm lake water while enjoying the afternoon atmosphere.

"Yes, I have to find another job."

"If you can, I'll help you find a job that's right for you" Marshall smiled at Zee. In his heart, Marshall is eager to hold Zee's hand, but he doesn't dare to touch Zee's, so he must be able to hold it.

"No, thank you for the offer. About finding a job let me look for it," Zee refused subtly.

"All right then. Hope you get another job soon."

Zee nodded and smiled knotfully, a smile that was rarely shown to others.

Well-favoured.

One word was spoken in Marshall's heart, when he saw his sweet smile, but behind it all there was a sense of disappointment in his heart, because Zee again refused his help. He was sincere in helping Zee.

Zee stared at the afternoon sky which now looked cloudy and decorated with black clouds.

"I want to go home" said Zee.

"Come, I'll take you home" said Marshall, who stood up to put his bag on his right shoulder.

"Don't! I'll just go home by myself. This is late afternoon and want to rain, later you will be angry with your mother," forbid Zee.

"No papa, and you take it easy. My mother won't scold me if I come home late. Come on, let's get out of here, scared of the rain." Marshall kept pushing Zee home.

"All right...." Zee replied giving up.

Marshall immediately drove his motorbike to the highway and drove Zee home, but unfortunately in the middle of the road the rain immediately flushed the earth.

Marshall immediately turned his motorcycle to the store and rushed down because the rain was getting heavier.

"The rain is getting bigger" Marshall continued.

"Yes...."

The rain is getting heavier, accompanied by strong wind. Making Zee's body cold, plus his clothes were wet with rain.

"Cold," murmured Zee rubbed his arm because it was cold. Marshall, who saw Zee cold, opened his jacket.

"You cold? Put on my jacket" Marshall said, extending his jacket to Zee.

"Thank you, you've guaranteed me a jacket." Zee took his jacket and put it on.

"Together."

It turned out that the rain had long stopped and now Marshall also began to get cold, let alone the wind continues to blow hard. Marshall rubbed his palms.

"You're cold too?" Ask Zee.

"Yes... But that's okay" Marshall replied casually.

Unexpectedly, Zee shifted her body against Marshall.

"You can put your hand in your jacket pocket. Who knows, you can warm your cold hands" Zee said, looking at Marshall.

"You're sure...." Marshall asked doubtfully, as Zee's hand was also in his jacket pocket.

"Yes...."

With a doubt, Marshall's hands slipped into his jacket pocket. Marshall could feel Zee's hand skin in his jacket pocket.

Deg deg deg

Marshall's heart rate was fast, especially his position was so close to Zee's body standing in front of him. Zee turned to face Marshall and so did Marshall. The two looked at each other, looking at each other.
