CHAPTER 7: The Seed of Love
The morning passed, and dusk came. Zafira was still thinking about what Candra had said in the seat on the balcony of her apartment and she just said that she could not give her answer now.
Sir William saw Zafira daydreaming like it was feeling pity and bewildered, finally Lord William asked Zafira.
“Zafira, why are you daydreaming?” Ask Mr. William.
“I'm confused pi, must answer apa”
“What are you why?” Ask Mr. William gently.
“What I told you papi aja ya”
“So gini pi, earlier Candra said that she...”.
“Dia why?”
“She likes me same pi” replied Zafira
Mr. William was surprised by what Zafira said, he gave his best input to his only daughter.
“You don't like him?” Ask Mr. William.
“Which way yes, I'm afraid of pi”
“Fear why?”
“I'm afraid of love, I don't even know what love is and how love really is. I just don't want my love story to end up like mami and papi” Zafira replied.
“Yes but afraid why? Yes already now gini, tomorrow you meet Candra”
“Create what? Later he even nanya it again”

On the other hand, Candra was also thinking about what answer Zafira would say.
“Think Zafira answered what? And why is it that when I express my love for him I see his eyes glazed over, am I wrong?” Candra Gumam.
Candra's murmur was unintentionally heard by her friend Stevan.
“What? So you have expressed your feelings?” Stevan's question arrived.
Candra was surprised because it turned out that her words had been heard by Stevan, she also tried to shift the subject.
“Eh, Stevan. Come in” said Candra nervously.
“Iya Can, but I just accidentally heard that you..”.
“Mm you want to sleep with this pillow, right? Download aja” Candra said.
“Candra, answer first. Don't try to ngalihin talk deh” said Stevan forced.
Candra sighed for a moment.
“Hhhhh”
“Iya” Answer Candra.
Stevan was surprised and delighted that his friend was in love.
“Yes Pardon Candra... I didn't know I was happy, too. Mmmm, but how, Zafira has answered yet?”
“That's it, I'm afraid of him why why”
“What do you mean? Didn't you say good?”
“Yes, but I saw earlier his eyes were glazed glass”
“Maybe he feels moved by Can”
“He deh. Oh yeah, you've got any new information yet about Alexaria?” Ask Candra curiously.
“Udah dong”
“Wah yes?! What information? Quickly say” said Candra hastened gesa.
“Yes yes, patience. So the information is gini, he apparently never worked at PT. INDRAJAY”.
“Oh yes? Where has he worked before?”
“Yes if that's the case, I don't know yet. Meanwhile the latest information” replied Stevan.
“M.. That's okay, thanks for the information. Please you keep track of his movements and find out information about him” said Candra.
“Iya, now I want to sleep. See you tomorrow morning” said Stevan.
“Bye toe”
“Eh yes, my pillow!” Stevan said he took his pillow and then left.
“Dasar” Gurau Candra then sleep.
The next day arrived, Zafira woke up from her sleep, and what came to her mind immediately said Candra.
“Aduh, why the hell Candra always just disturb my mind”
“Zafira, let's have breakfast first” Call Mr. William.
“Iya pii” replied Zafira then went to approach Mr. William.
After arriving at the dining room, Mr. William again asked about Zafira's feelings.
“Fir, how? You've sentin something yet?”
“Mm not yet pi” replied Zafira doubtfully.
“Now gini, you actually like Candra?” Ask Mr. William.
“Papi why ask that anyway?”
“Yes, papi knows from your eyes, your eyes indicate that you like Candra”
“Ih papi, make a bete. Udah ah now I want to find Candra as papi told” replied Zafira then leave.

“Candra where the hell is it? For a long time, he usually stood by first. Duh make a sprain, but what is this because yesterday ya?” Zafira murmured in the garden.
Shortly thereafter, Candra comes to Zafira.
“Zafira, sorry yes I made you wait” Candra said.
“Duuh, where are you going anyway? Not stand by but even molested. Luckily I was patient, otherwise I would have gone”
“That, is so strange. It's obvious you told me, but you're angry. Sorry I had a little work. Now say what do you want to say?” Ask Candra.
“Mm. Me, I'm saying..”
“Say what?” Ask Candra.
“Say..”.
“Haaaa!! Don't don't you want to say that you love me, right?” Candra's question arrived.
“Ih what the hell! I just don't know what love” replied Zafira.
“Then I don't believe. To be honest, do you love me?”
“Nggak” Reply Zafira round.
“Iya” Candra Word
“Nggak”
“Iya”
“Ya already yes!” Zafira replied in a high tone.
“Tuh right, bener”
“Aduh, I slipped again” Inner Zafira.
“Means we're dating now huh?” Ask Candra girang.
“M.. How about?” Gurau Zafira's.
“Come dong” Candra Word.
Zafira nodded yes.
“Haaa!!! Yaaayyyy, so grateful Iu” said Candra so happily.
“Udah deh do not need lebay” Zafira said.
“But before that, can I not ask you?” Zafira.
“Yes can love” replied Candra.
“Ih, don't wear it baby. Lebai know!”
“Ya already, can Zafira. Let's ask what?”
“What is love?” Ask Zafira.
Zafira's question makes Candra remember Alisha who once asked the exact same question as Zafira.
“Candra, let's answer. You can't answer yes?” Ask Zafira.
“Candra, did you hear that? Kok even bengong gitu” Zafira said.
“Iya, I heard, and your question made me think of Alisha, my little friend back in the day, replied Candra.
“What do you mean? Sorry if I made you sad”.
“It's okay. You know, Alisha has exactly the same nature as you. He's innocent, grumpy, impatient. But behind all that, she had such an extraordinary nature, she was very loving, jovial, entertaining, cheerful, beautiful. So if I'm sad again, he always comforts me. But now all these are just memories. But even so, somehow when I was with you, I always felt that Alisha was still alive, she was always with me, and she could comfort me” Candra explained.
Zafira was moved by Candra's explanation and she shed tears.
“Eh, Zafira how even you cry?” Ask Candra.
“Iya, I am moved by your explanation. I guess, you were hit hard huh the same departure of your best friend? Until you do not believe that he has gone to leave you forever” said Zafira.
“Thank you, you want to hear my short story. But come on, I'll try to get Alisha. Especially now that you can entertain me, and accompany me always” said Candra.
“Ah can aja” Zafira said.
Then they hugged each other, then went to their apartments.

Evening came, the stars were not as usual, tonight there was not a single star in sight, and all that was seen was a flash of lightning and the rumbling sound of a giant cotton blob.
Candra was finishing her office work, and after she was done she looked so happy that Stevan asked her.
“Finally finishedii” Candra said girang.
“Yes very excited to be able to finish the job. Although little” Stevan said.
“Yes yes, Stevan I want to tell you something about you” Candra said.
“What?”
“I've been with Zafira”
“Oh. Eh What?! Are you ready?” Ask Stevan.
Candra nodded.
“Yes congratulations ya Candrakuuu” said Stevan then hugged Candra.
“Iya yes, thank you. Now that I'm with Zafira I want to invite you, Alex, and Willy to lunch tomorrow” said Candra.
“Why should tomorrow anyway?”
“You don't see what it is outside that cloudy kayak? Moreover, according to research tonight there will be a storm” said Candra.
“Yes yes, I'm kidding” Stevan said.
“Ya already, now sleep there”
“Yes yes, but I want to bring my pillow first”
“Iya sana” Candra Word
Stevan went to his room.
“Weird basis, can't really do it? Sleep without a racing pillow?” Gumam Gork Candra.
Candra was so happy with what had happened. On the other hand, Zafira was agitated and confused as to how to say everything to her father, Mr. William. He finally decided to talk about it well.
“Papi” Call Zafira on the terrace.
“Iya Fir, what is it?” Ask Mr. William while sipping his tea.
“I, want to talk to papi” said Zafira in an unconvinced tone.
“Come talk aj”
“But papi promise will not be angry huh?” Ask Zafira back.
“Yes, will not be angry kok papi”
“I... It was the same Candra” replied Zafira.
“What? Not that you said you didn't want to be with him” said Mr. William.
“Iya pi, I was willing to refuse, but because of the feeling somehow I can talk ‘iya’, I am confused about myself ” replied Zafira.
“That is a sign that you really love Candra from the heart until you receive a love request from Candra”
“Ah papi can. Udah ah now I want to rest first, I am tired of” said Zafira then leave.
“Iya sana” replied Mr. William
