The Crack of a Heart
School Holidays

Arifa Nazwa, a student of a final-level academy in town B. He is now 18 years old. The time when Arifa was looking for her identity.

Not only does she have a beautiful and alluring face, her intelligence in the field of education can not be doubted. Not a few students there were envious of him, because Arifa was quite famous in that academy.

Both of Arifa's parents deliberately put it in a study place that is mostly female. They just want Arifa to focus without any interference from men who can hinder his achievements.

Just like today, Zakaria had just arrived at the parking lot where the Arifa academy was located. His face looked lethargic, for he only came alone without his wife. In fact, usually the business of taking school reports is always done by Sinta. He was just waiting outside the classroom.

From a distance, he saw Arifa joking with her two friends. A long breath and then exhaled violently he did before stepping his feet toward his daughter.

"Rifa, isn't that your papa?" andini asked while pointing towards Zachariah making Arifa turn her head.

"Are you right, Din!" exclaimed Arifa with a bright face. However, instantly in his heart asked about his mama's whereabouts. "Yes, I went there first. Soon the report division will begin, won't it ?" arifa continued, not forgetting that a smile also expands at both corners of her thin lips along with a nod of their heads, before she finally left her two friends to approach Zakaria.

Arifa ran over to her father and hugged him with joy. Longing that rises after 6 months of separation temporarily to study in a different city with both parents.

"Father, Rifa kangen."

Both Arifa's eyes sparkled and then immediately glazed over. He doesn't know what happened yet. But at least, Zakaria was there to give him support.

"Look, we're going to class!" take Zakaria and Arifa to release her arms. "Sure, this time your ranking will not decline, because you are the proud son of Papah." A small pinch landed on Arifa's tapered cheek.

"Hopefully, Pah. Come on!"

They went to Arifa's class.

...****************...

Elsewhere, a middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful like her 30s was sitting in a cafe alone with both hands she placed on the table, while occasionally stirring a glass of ice cappucino in front of him.

"Hey, just go!" The voice of a man made the woman surprised.

"That's why you don't!" The woman clucked with an annoyed face.

"Ta, are you sure of that decision? thought through carefully? if he is the one who has nemenin you from zero, the time you want to leave him is that." The man's words made the woman who was none other than Sinta, exhale violently.

"I'm tired, Nan. I have been holding it all this time. I can't stand it if I continue to stay with him," Sinta complained to Keenan. The man who was close a year ago even became a friend of solace Sinta.

"Okay, keep your kids on the know?" tanya Keenan and Sinta only shook their heads weakly. "So, don't you think about their feelings?" ask Keenan again. Now, Sinta was silent.

"Yourselves, what do you think of your wife and three children, Nan? We are close and know each other. Often go together on weekends, do you not have the same feeling as me, Nan?" Sinta's emotions began to rise to the surface. His eyes began to turn red and teary. Keenan was surprised to hear what Sinta had just said.

"Ta, you misunderstood. I ... "just wanted Keenan to explain, Sinta cut it first.

"What's? misunderstand?" Pain, that was what Sinta felt in her heart. It was not that he was unaware of his status as well as Keenan's at the moment. But the feeling defeats everything. Sinta had already fallen in love with the figure of Keenan who he considered very understanding of himself.

Wrong, Sinta's feelings should only be for Zakaria, her husband. Not for Keenan who is still a husband.

"Ta, please. I really just think of you as a best friend, okay?" Keenan stood up, while Sinta turned her gaze looking out the window. "I left," he continued, leaving Sinta still frozen in place.

"Your value makes Papah even more proud, Fa! hopefully your achievements will not go down until graduation. In order to get into the college you want and the major you are interested in!" exclaim Zakaria who was so happy to see the results of learning Arifa in the last 6 months. Now the two were walking along the hallway to the dormitory that Arifa was occupying.

"Farhan, that's fine. Just called Papah last night. He said he misses you. If there are no obstacles, next month he will return to Indonesia."

"Asik, it's been a long time, Pah we didn't meet Brother Farhan. He must be getting taller!" arifa made Zakaria laugh.

"It must be that!"

Arifa laughed too. It did not feel like the two had reached the front gate of the dormitory.

"Well, Rifa get the suitcase back inside." The permission of Arifa and Zachariah nodded his head.

"Yes, Papah wait here huh, Fa."

"Okay, Pah."

Arifa went inside. It didn't take long, he appeared before Zakaria who was sitting waiting for him while playing a cell phone.

"Related, Pah! we're on vacation." Take Arifa with great enthusiasm. Zakaria put her phone in her pants pocket and stood up. Both of them walked to the parking lot.

The current condition of the academy is indeed very crowded. Many parents come to pick up their children. The holidays start for the next 2 weeks.

Most of them are early students. Because the majority who are in the final level choose to return home first to prepare for the final exam and also the college they will take.

Upon arriving in the car, Arifa looked gloomy. Zechariah saw Arifa's changed face instantly feeling full.

"Fsa ... "

"Well, mom why not come? Busy as the customers in the store?" asked Arifa who he had been resistant to asking about Sinta while still in the academy.

"Actually .. "Zacharian's heart felt inflamed. She did not want her daughter to be as sad as she felt. "Let's talk at home." At the end, Arifa simply nodded while exhaling.

Along the way, Zechariah tried to comfort Arifa. It was their two favorite music. For he did not want Arifa's mind to be burdened with the problems she was facing right now.

"Fa, how about before we get home to eat first? what do you want to eat? fried chicken? a burger? vanilla lattes? or what ?"

"All right, Pah?" ask Arifa seriously.

"What the hell does not make Papah's favorite child. Lets go!"

The car drove to where all the food was. While singing along, forget for a moment the problem and be happy.

...****************...

Arriving at the largest shopping center in the city of D. Arifa did not forget to hold Zakaria's hand as usual. Despite her teenage years, Arifa remains Zakaria's adorable and spoiled little baby.

"Fa, you're looking for a seat. Let Papah order the food" Zakaria proposes when they arrive at a restaurant in the shopping mall. His proposal was approved by Arifa.

When Zakaria was waiting in line to order the menu, she accidentally recognized someone passing by the restaurant.

"Why is he here?" ask Zacharias in his heart, watching where the man went.
