The Love I Don't Miss
Part 100 (I Don't Know You)

The rows of chairs formed a circle that carried Zio and Zahra began to move following the movement of the water that swerved like a river. Exploring the various obstacles they will face with people who are in a circle with them.

Shouts from the mouths of those who were with Zio and Zahra. With his status getting closer, Zio did not hesitate to reach and hold the hand of Zahra who held the seat belt. No matter what the people in front of him say.

Feeling entitled to show the world, if they are a couple, then Zahra also linked her fingers to Zio's fingers, and grasped them tightly when experiencing some kind of shock that made Zahra shocked.

Not to mention the swift flow of water, which water sprouts can easily enter the circle. And the screams of people who did not feel he knew made Zahra reflex to come screaming.

"It's so exciting, Mom!" Zahra.

Zio turned his head and looked at Zahra's face which looked very happy that afternoon. He looked at his fingers that were linked to the woman. Vibration - the shahdu vibration is increasingly felt by his long-empty heart. A heart that has only been in shadow for some time.

' Naura... '

He looked at it inwardly, gently squeezing Zahra's white hands, which could not match the white of Naura.

Even so, Zio is not the type of man who looks at the physical woman. He just uses his heart to anchor his love. If Naura's physique was perfect, it was a bonus Zio got. Because Zio will only look at the woman he loves, as the most beautiful woman on the face of this Earth.

There is no intention for Zio to compare the beauty of Zahra with Naura, nor Zahra with Calina who is now more beautiful. Moreover, serving as the wife of the CEO who is the heir to the company Adhitama Group. Her husband's money can make Calina like living in a fairyland. It was just that the woman was not interested in such a life.

' She's beautiful! just like you, honey... '

Zio's mind returned as if talking to the spirit of Naura who was out of nowhere.

Without feeling a round chair with a seatbelt and a handle handle it has reached the end point. Make all passengers have to get off, and end their shouting at the rafting rides.

"You trying anything else?" zio asked as he walked along leaving the end point of the rafting.

"It has. I'm gonna take a shower and get changed. Then lunch, my stomach's hungry, Mas!" replied Zahra with a stiff smile because calling Zio with a name that is still very difficult he pinned.

It is not that easy to get the tongue used to change the name of the call to someone. Especially from Sir to Mas. From calling her Boss to a future husband.

But that was also felt by Calina a few years ago. From calling Mr. Kenzo to Mas Kenzo. From the ones that just shake hands, so kiss hands. From which only friends confide, so bedmates.

Zio chuckled at Zahra's complaint, "Yes, I'm hungry too!" zio is not hungry.

Not all men are hungry easily. Sometimes they eat just to keep up with their partner. So that you do not hesitate if you want to eat.

"What do you want to eat?"

"Anything, Mom! The important thing is not to queue! because I'm really hungry!' zahra replied with a clumsy smile. Again - again because the tongue is still very stiff, but must be forced to get used to it.

"OKay! we're going to the dressing room!" answer Zio. "May me." said Zio, glancing at Zahra's hand.

Zahra knew what Zio meant. With a face that blushed in shame, Zahra nodded.

Zio quickly grabbed Zahra's right hand, and spoke again.

"May I call you by name... Darling?" she asked with a fixed look at Zahra's pair of very beautiful eyes.

Smiling embarrassedly, and again Zahra could only nod along with Zahra's sweet smile.

"Thank you, honey." said Zio for the first time.

And Zahra's heart was like it was pounding more and more. A very beautiful name and calms the soul of the women.

And the new couple walked by holding each other to the dressing room. Then split at the intersection of the dressing room, between the male dressing room and the female dressing room.

Do you know what happens under the shower?

***

They are the same - the same smile among the flowing water. Remembering the thrilling moment they just woke up. Where what they just passed will change the future of both later.

A new day, a new life, and a new atmosphere. So too with the number of families. It could change the numbers.

From who is only a co-worker, then accepted to be a prospective husband. Which means from today on their status is equivalent to dating. The difference is they refuse to be called as girlfriends. Because age is no longer young. It is not the time to joke with a status that is still vacillating.

Equally - ever married, the same - have lost in the same way, it feels very unreasonable if they are called joking or playing - playing with feelings.

The sooner we get married, the better. Considering both are the same - the same knows the past - each. Also the nature and attitude they showed throughout this day.

' What does it feel like? when someone comes back to say... I love you.. then call with affection every day... '

Zahra murmured in his heart. Among the reverie that carried him far away, lips covered a meaningful smile that showed that he was happy.

' What should I answer? I love you too? it seems too monotonous... '

Zahra continued to fret while rubbing her wet hair using shampoo and rinsed under a lucky shower. Because it managed to trace the smooth white skin without being covered by a piece of cloth.

It is not wrong if that afternoon he will be the longest visitor in the dressing room. Because it takes three times as much time as usual to finish cleaning in the bathroom after swimming.

And so did Zio who did the same. Under the shower of Dufan's public bathroom, he was daydreaming. Recalling, how he had pounded while waiting for Zahra's answer. And almost desperate when Zahra said Sorry for the first time.

But all paid off with Zahra who eventually accepted the marriage proposal he requested. Now the wishful thinking is only one, immediately realize the wedding party, very lively. Maybe by sending an office if Zahra allows it.

The falling air shower circles hit the head and slid over her muscular skin, landing on the wet floor, accompanying Zio's vision of a future Titania Azzahra. Imagine the woman will always accompany every day in a house that has been quiet for months. Then imagine that beautiful face is always next to him when he wakes up.

As Naura Azalea did during her lifetime, they were together until they ended up with a tombstone stuck on wet red soil. A name was engraved there.

There is no intention to make Zahra like Naura, nor want Zahra to be able to act like Naura, Zio only sometimes still remember the habits of the wife who has accompanied him for more than five years.

***

Unlike a pair of lovebirds who are in love, then there is Kayla who asked permission for Mama Shinta to walk around the pool. He needed to wash his eyes, after tens of minutes only he focused on seeing Gilang and the nephew he loved like his own child.

Kayla and Felia, of course, often meet at the Mental Hospital, although never chat with normal human style. But Kayla always looked at Felia with a normal human gaze. And instincts always work, right? Moreover, Felia is a child - a child who is very sensitive to the feelings of people around her.

"Tante, I want to see the water rides that are there, huh?" pamit Kayla to Mama Shinta, pointing to an adult kola that is not too far away.

"Yes, Kayla. Heart - heart, huh? and don't take too long. Quickly return." Mama Shinta reminded Kaya like reminding her own child.

"Yes, Auntie.." answered Kayla with a friendly smile.

Kayla also stepped foot by occasionally glancing at Gilang who was still engrossed in playing water with his own nephew and another one might be his nephew.

Kayla walks by the pool, taking a slow step enjoying the wet floor with children running around. Until finally, Kayla stopped at a pool edge. From a distance, Kayla can see how many people seem to be very happy with their family, lovers or friends. All seemed happy, without a single face pretending to be happy.

Really he never felt this way for years. He spent dozens of years just languishing in the Mental Hospital, with symptoms of depression. Without thinking about what a happy life is like out there.

All this time he just thought, if life out there is a life that is cruel and filled by men who are all flat - flat are striped men. The man who only relied on his lust, then doped with the power of thick money.

He smiled slightly, remembering how ridiculous what he had been doing for a dozen years. How he did not realize that there were many happy stories out there that could comfort his depressed self.

And the foolishness that made him shake his head was... Why hasn't he followed Gilang since a few years ago? god has brought together people he can rely on to save himself from a life of hardship and severe trauma.

But all of that is the result of excessive fear of something. For example, fear of someone, who even died.

And now he will make a very valuable and unforgettable lesson. A dark life, an unbeautiful past, and an incident that left him traumatized and severely depressed at some point.

Satisfied by the happiness of the people who were there, Kayla walked back and returned to the direction where Mama Shinta's table was. And while crossing the dressing room, someone danced his arm very gently.

"Why did you leave me, baby!" said the man while following his steps by grasping his right hand.

Kayla was confused by the look of a face that was surprised to see the man who was estimated to be several years old on it.

"Where do you want to eat?" asked the man with a glance at Kayla.

Kayla was confused by the man's question. Just know no, but it's pretty smart to know him by asking so where's lunch. Though the man had seen his face, it is not possible if he saw wrong.

"Say, Honey!" she said she looked at Kayla and looked at Kayla's pretty face. "Your hair dries fast?" ask pri aitu.

As Kayla frowned, she was sure that the man beside her was delirious. Or pretend to be depressed like he ever did?

"Sorry, are you wrong?" ask Kayla.

"What do you mean?" asked the man to stop his steps. And now the two are directly faced with hands that have not joined hands. It is precisely the gaze of each other that looks the same - equally tense.

"I mean, I don't know you. Why do you say my hair dries quickly?" ask Kayla to be confused. "You sure the one swimming with you is me?"

And now the man was confused, "why did your voice change?" ask the man who is none other than Zio.

"Change how?" ask Kayla. "From a time like this my voice, sir!"

"Darling! please, don't joke!" zio shouted with a serious face. "Call me Mas!"

"I'm not kidding, sir! are you sure the one swimming with you is me?" ask Kayla to make sure. "Try to watch my face well - well!"

"Already! and this is right you, honey!" Zio.

Kayla is getting confused. Who exactly is this guy? why so confident to know himself and even swim with him, even when he himself is not touched by the pool water in the slightest. Even the only prai that he knows well there is Gilang Adhitama.

Kayla looked at Zio from head to toe. Then back up to the head. And watch the man's haircut. Seems not a random person. That is typical of men with a certain position.

' Is it possible that this man is the one who intends to marry Zahra? '

"What is the name of the person you are swimming with?"

"Mas!" zahra shouted from behind Kayla.

And that made Zio widen his eyes wide. Very wide. Until the mouth of the reflex opens and forms a large O.
