Safa hugged Edzar's waist tightly from behind. In the afternoon the man took Safa for a walk on a motorcycle at Safa's request after they made love a second time in the garage.
He wanted to wear a Ducati, but Edzar refused because he said it was more comfortable NMax. Yes, I have, deh. Safa complied with the possessive Papa candidate.
Either Edzar would take him where. Safa just come along as long as it is not boring. Before long Edzar marginalized his bike, right next to a quiet bus stop that no one was there.
Safa cringing. "Why did we come here?"
Edzar did not answer. He told Safa to go down which she followed. Edzar helped take off the helmet Safa was wearing. Then take her to sit at the stop, enjoying the atmosphere of the afternoon together.
Safa thought Edzar would take her where. Uh, yunya stop. Fucking weird.
But, why does Safa feel dejavu, huh?
Just sec. This is the stop near SMP where Safa studied first. A few meters from here there is a bend. That's where the school is.
Safa turned to Edzar, looking at the handsome face from the side. "A Uda?"
Edzar. His eyes were staring straight at the road ahead.
"Twelve years ago this stop was once Uda's favorite place." Edzar's gaze looked bright, as if he was remembering something. "Because this is where Uda first saw it," he continued. Edzar. "That girl. Uda's first love."
Deg.
Safa. Did Edzar bring him here to tell him about his past? First love?
Safa gulped. I don't know why his heart started to break. Did he hear Edzar's words? Isn't this what he expected? Edzar opens up to her. But, will Safa be able to withstand the jealousy later?
Honestly, he was not ready to hear if the word Edzar still holds a taste in the girl of his past.
If it's not wrong, Miss Sinta once said Edzar liked someone. But her parents didn't approve. That's why they're being set up.
"The prettiest girl you've ever seen."
Safa's breath began to cramp. Now Edzar praised the other woman. How can Safa stay okay.
"His sweet smile was able to twist Uda's world in an instant."
"We were both caught in the rain. Uda thought maybe she was waiting for an invitation. Coincidentally, the stop was quite crowded. But the girl was able to withdraw Uda's attention completely. All you see is him."
Edzar looked back ahead.
"It was the first day that Uda felt the vibrations that people often said. Uda deg-degan's. Uda's heart pounded when she saw it."
"The girl looked. And for a moment Uda's breath seemed to stop. He throws a smile. But because Uda was too nervous and confused Uda did not reply, and preferred to take his eyes off."
"What was even more amazing was when he gave up his bag in the rain just to protect a street cat that was not in the shelter. The stop is too full. While the cat seems a little afraid of humans."
"But, perhaps because he could feel the tenderness from inside the girl, the cat seemed comfortable when approached. Even curled up in the shade of his wet bag."
"Among the many humans back then, only he had such great empathy that he was willing to rain down on an animal."
"She glanced at one by one, hoping that someone would kindly lend her the umbrella. At least until the bus comes."
"But until the rain subsided even a little, still none of them did."
"The girl started to shiver. Uda wanted to abuse him because he didn't move from the side of the road."
"Because I couldn't bear to see it, Uda finally took off the jacket that Uda was wearing. Then give it to the girl. Uda thought she turned her head, but out of embarrassment and confusion Uda immediately left this stop."
"Short story the girl's invitation came. It was too late because the stop was already very quiet. I don't know, it's the first time Uda's ever cared about someone so willing to observe him from afar to ensure his safety."
"The girl left. Uda should have gone home. But I don't know what makes Uda even step closer to the stop. And Uda knows the answer. The girl's necklace was left behind. Don't know how to escape. What's for sure is Uda took it for a while."
"Tomorrow, after college Uda came here again. I hope to meet him again. At once want to give the necklace that yesterday Uda had saved. But, until the afternoon he wasn't seen either."
"It's not just that day." Edzar looked at his wife. "There's up to two weeks back and forth here. Waiting for the girl to come."
Edzar raised his hand to touch Safa's face. His thumb rubbed the corner of the woman's watery eyes. Edzar knew what Safa was feeling. But he has decided to open up. Then he will tell Safa everything that has stuck in her heart.
"She's giving up. Maybe God didn't mean for us to meet again."
"Even so, every day Uda always prayed to be reunited with him. Even if it's okay."
"Two years passed. Mom and Dad are suing Uda to get married. Uda gamang of course. On the other hand Uda has not been able to forget it. But on the other hand Uda still has to continue living. Uda can't constantly pin hope on an uncertain destiny. Although the fate of Uda and Sinta did not last long."
"A Uda ...." Safa's voice sounded hoarse. Safa shakes. Had enough. His heart was too fragile to hear such a deep story from Edzar.
Safa already knew the man loved the girl of his past.
Edzar smiled, rubbing Safa's cheeks slowly. "But, it seems that God did not hear Uda's prayers. God is just preparing the right time to grant it."
"Seven years of living in Surabaya, Uda was again mutated to Jakarta. Then decide to buy your own house rather than having to live in an official house. Uda thought, it's time Uda set the future by collecting one asset by one."
"Mom agrees. Because the place that Uda chose was quite strategic. Can be reached from anywhere. In addition to being close to Kejari, the line passes through Morinaza, the cafe that Uda built with Heru right after the divorce. It's just that because Uda lives erratically in the sense of moving, then Uda leave everything to Heru. Thank goodness he was trustworthy. Uda was not worried about watching him from far away."
"Short story Uda began to occupy a new house. A fairly beautiful complex in Jakarta."
"That's where God granted Uda's prayer."
"The girl that Uda had been waiting for for 12 years, appeared before Uda with her same smile, but with a more mature look."
"He's the owner of this necklace." Edzar held up one hand which he had not known since when to hold a necklace.
Safa flabbergasted. His heart went faster. That necklace?
"Safana. As per the name engraved in this strand of platinum. You're Uda's wife. First love of Uda. Safana Halim."
Safa's breath was blocked. Whatisthis? Why is that necklace on Edzar? Her necklace was missing the day before she moved out of school. It's been on Edzar all this time?
In fact, Safa used to cry for days because the necklace was a gift from her father. Beloved objects that Safa always wear anywhere.
Despite the many diamonds he had, the necklace was still the most special. Because the necklace was bought by his father right at the time of the revival of the company that had been hit by bankruptcy.
"A-A Uda ...." Safa looked up at Edzar's eyes, who was also nailing him. The man smiled with love. His hand rubbed the cheeks wet with tears.
Safa's defense collapsed. He could no longer hold back his tears in front of Edzar. Safa was speechless. She hugged her husband. Sobbed in Edzar's warm, protective embrace.
Edzar smile. Replying to Safa's embrace was equally tight. Heart relieved. He has revealed what he wants to say.
That afternoon, witnessed by the shade that began to turn yellow, the two people dissolved in their respective feelings.
Engraved romanticism, reunited by destiny.
Safazars.
Safa and Edzar.
Two hearts that once separated, now God united in the bond of a marriage.
