Rain Teach Me Strong
Separated for a while


Marshall's planning to take Zee to the mall, but it's late afternoon. Finally Marshall invites Zee to eat at a Sundanese food stall.


Marshall and Zee sit down in a saung underneath a fish pond. As the wind blows moderately, cradling the skin of both. Marshall drew her closer to Zee and wrapped his hand around Zee's shoulder.


"Zee...."


"Hm... Why?" Replied Zee, who was leaning her head against Marshall's shoulder. It feels very comfortable leaning on the shoulders of our loved ones.


Marshall then reached for Zee's fingers and linked them with his fingers.


"Tomorrow me and the others must return to Jakarta" Marshall said as his hand wrapped around Zee's shoulder stroked Zee's jet hair.


Zee immediately straightened his body and looked at Marshall's face with a surprised look.


"Tomorrow?" Squeak Zee with frown.


"Yes" replied Marshall quickly.


Zee immediately bowed lethargic and began to glaze over. His heart that had just felt the beauty of love had to let go again.


No way, if he asks Marshall to stay here. He is not ready to go back to Marshall. He wanted to stay near Marshall.


Marshall raised Zee's chin which was bowing his head.


"Zee, I asked you again. Are you going to come back with me?" Marshall returns to his wishes, asking Zee to re-create.


Marshall and Zee look at each other.


"Are you willing if we're LDRs?" Ask Zee who hesitates about Marshall, if you have a long-distance love.


"Capable. " The answer is steady and full of confidence.


"Because there's only one name here. From the past until now no one can replace his position here and it's you." Point Marshall in his chest, exactly in his heart.


Zee sighed and looked back at the two Marshall beads.


"If I say yes. Aren't you going to torture me, in a relationship that we're going to have LDR."


Marshall smiled and shook his head in confidence. "No, and you have to trust me, if I'm not gonna beat you up."


Then Marshall rubbed Zee's cheek with his thumb.


"So you want it if we turn it back?" Ask Marshall again.


Zee nodded his head slowly." Yes, I will," replied Zee.


Marshall smiled and pulled Zee into his arms. Her heart was so happy that Zee wanted to go back into her arms and love again.


"Thank you Zee. I love you" he said and kissed Zee's head with happiness.


Zee nodded in Marshall's arms with a smile on his lips.

At about the time of reception Marshall drove Zee home, but before returning home. Marshall takes Zee to a clothing store. Marshall chose the couple's outfit, after getting it Marshall and Zee replaced it at the clothing store.


Marshall smiled as he saw himself and Zee both wearing the same clothes.


Let it be said lebay, but clearly at this time his heart is happy.


"You're beautiful" Marshall said.


"Okay," Zee replied, but the red hue on her cheek was clearly visible.


"Let's go home" Marshall reached out his hand and was greeted by Zee. The two stepped out of the clothing store hand in hand.


Arriving in front of his motorcycle, Marshall immediately put a helmet on Zee's head, after which he also wears a helmet.


About twenty minutes later, the two of them arrived in front of the house.


"Thank you, yes" Zee said, handing over the helmet to Marshall.


"Hm... Tomorrow before we leave. I stopped by here first," Marshall said, pushing Zee's hair behind his ears.


"Yes." Yeah."


Marshall got off the bike and kissed Zee on the forehead.


"I go home first" said Marshall and Zee, nodding small.

The next day, Marshall is at Zee's house and bids farewell to Zee's parents.


"Om, Aunt. I want to say goodbye, because today I want to go back to Jakarta," Marshall told Mami Janet and Haris' father.


"Oh... Go back to Jakarta. Be careful on the road" replied Mami Janet. "Huh... So kangen Jakarta again," muttered Mami Janet who apparently missed the capital city that has given a lot of life experience.


Marshall shakes hands with Mami Janet and Haris' father in reverence. Zee takes Marshall to the villa.


Arriving at the villa, the others were ready to leave. Marshall clasped Zee's hand tightly.


"I leave first and I'll be here again." Said Marshall.


"I'm waiting for you," Zee replied with a sad look.


"Don't grieve. I promise I'll see you and if I can marry you right away" Marshall said, caressing Zee's cheek.


"Shall, let's go" call Byan.


"Yes, just a minute."


"I'm leaving yeah. Take care of yourself, I'll call you when I get there" Marshall said.


"I will definitely miss you" Zee said sadly.


Marshall smiled and pulled Zee into his arms. "I must have missed you too."


Then Marshall lifted Zee's chin and kissed Zee's lips.


"I'm leaving" said Marshall.


With a heavy heart, Zee releases Marshall and lets Marshall walk away from his side.


Marshall got in the car. Zee waved his hand as Marshall's car moved out of the villa's courtyard.


"Be careful on the road...! I LOVE YOU...!!" shout Zee.


Zee continued to look at the car, until it disappeared from his sight.


Zee immediately lowered her head and wiped her tears that had fallen down her cheeks.


"It's just stayed and I miss you right away" said Zee.
