The Substitute Bride of my Best Friend
Broken Heart's

Six Years Ago ....

That morning, Zahira came to school a bit unfortunate, because the teaching and learning activities he had been engaged in for three years was over. Three years he studied at Merah Putih High School and today his status as a High School student will be determined by a piece of paper that mentions the graduation or not of the beautiful narrow-eyed beauty of the school.

The mother drove her four-wheeled vehicle at moderate speed on the streets of the capital. Zahira who was sitting next to Arumi stared out the window. Since leaving Mei Ling's house, the beautiful one just kept quiet, Arumi did not want to disturb her and preferred to focus on driving.

However, when he heard a rough breath coming from his beloved daughter, Arumi turned her head and looked closely at the face of his first daughter with her husband. "What are you thinking, honey? Mother noticed since then daydreaming continues. If there is anything to talk about, talk to Mother. Don't hold it yourself," he said.

Zahira gave a quick glance at Arumi, then looked back out the window. "I'm upset thinking about my future, Bun. All my friends have determined which university I want to be used as a place to continue my studies, while I have not found a university and what majors I want to take. Today is the graduation announcement."

Arumi chuckled softly at Zahira's adorable looking annoyed face with lips pursed forward and both hands folded in front of her chest. Then, he reached out his left hand rubbing the top of the head of his beloved child. "Finding universities and majors that we really want is not easy, son. However, it is not difficult as long as you already know your passion where everything will definitely feel easier."

"As long as there is still time, think carefully about which university you want to make a place to study for the next four years. However, if you remain confused there is no harm in considering the input of Father and Mother. After all, with the ability you have, Mother is sure you can definitely follow in the footsteps of the two of us to become doctors and help people who need help. Although not a surgical specialist, but at least one of your children is involved in the medical world" continued Arumi. The woman's tone always sounded soft even though in a state of anger even though it was still pleasant to be heard by the ears. That's why, Triplet and the youngest Shakeela Zanitha every time hit by Rayyan spray must complain to the mother.

Zahira's reverse lips are progressing forward with the face being increasingly bent. "Not one, Bun, but two. Mommy forgot yes, if First Brother also intends to major in medicine in Japan, where Dad went to college first," protested with a sour face.

"Yes, I mean Mother, so. Two of our four children followed in our footsteps and carried on the baton of Father's leadership in carrying out his responsibilities as hospital director. Our age is getting older and dusk. Before God calls, it feels like seeing you or First Brother take over the responsibility."

Zahira clucked in annoyance, whenever Arumi discussed the human age of the beautiful girl became more emotional. A pair of teary eyes accompanied by a chest that began to feel tight. The fear of losing a parent becomes a frightening specter for Rayyan's third child or maybe for all people on this earth.

Zahira was able to breathe a sigh of relief, finally she was able to pass and get a fairly satisfactory test score. The three champions in the national exam are Ghani, Zahira and Shaka. Zavier is at number four.

Why is Zavier fourth and Zahira second? The reason is only one, because second brother Zahira is not too focused on doing the test. Broken heart due to broken love is the main factor of failure when filling the problem.

The second child of the pair of the best surgeon duo at Persada International Hospital is famous for often changing girlfriends. The result of his favorite that makes Zavier hit by stone. He was decided on love by a girl he loved dearly.

"Ra, congratulations. Finally you get into the top three of the best test scores. I'm so proud of you" said Zahira's close friend, Olivia. The two girls hugged each other tightly because they were happy to graduate and get good grades.

Zahira broke down the embrace, then rubbed the happy tears that drenched her cheeks. "Thank you, Liv."

The two decided to sit for a while on the school park bench while looking at the euphoria of the third grade High School students. The hue of happiness was vividly painted on their faces. The hopes and dreams of becoming a successful person and proud parents are one step closer.

"After this, you're planning on going to college where is Liv?"

Olivia placed her backpack next to the chair and sat down before answering Zahira's question. "The plan is to enroll in campus AB, majoring in medical records. You know, both my parents are eager for me to work in the medical field."

"Then, how about you, have you determined which campus you want to choose?" continue Olivia while looking at the beauty of her classmate. Oriental face with sharp nose and big lips and white skin makes anyone who sees must be fascinated.

Zahira shook her head weakly. "Come on, I'm confused, Liv. Until this moment, I had no idea where to continue my studies. Everything is still gray."

Zahira's face flushed like fresh tomatoes ready to be picked. Smile when you hear the name of the friend called. The reddish hue creeps from the face and into the ears.

"Iih .. You're nothing, Liv. How to talk like that" said Zahira timidly.

Making friends since third grade Junior High, continuing until now, Olivia knows very well how Zahira feels about Shaka. There is a sense that is difficult to express, but only able to be felt by Zahira.

Embrace the shoulders until the position of the two are close to each other. "Ra, soon you're parting ways with Shaka because I heard he wants to continue his studies in Australia. Well, while there's still time, try talking to him and telling him your heart. Six years of harboring love for someone who is none other than his own best friend, it is difficult. Don't you want Shaka to know what your heart is to him?"

Zahira squeezed the end of the gray skirt below the knee nervously. Justifying all Olivia's words in her heart. Since long ago until now the love of the girl to Shaka increasingly blossomed, flourishing throughout the day. However, will his love be avenged if the child of the mother's friend knows that there are other flavors stored in his chest as long as they are friendly? He is afraid of facing open possibilities if Shaka finds out that he loves the young man.

"You must be afraid 'did your friendship break up after Shaka found out how you felt about her?" guess Olivia after Zahira didn't respond at all.

Weakly, Zahira nodded her head in response. "Really, Liv. Besides, I was binging on what to do if Shaka turned me down. Should I act as if nothing happened between us?"

Olivia hissed and twisted her eyeballs. Zahira is good at everything, but for the affairs of the big zero heart. Since long ago, he was forbidden to date by his father and his mother. Not to mention the overprotective nature of the father and his two older brothers makes the girl a little backward in the matter of dating.

"That's a recent affair, Ra. Most importantly, you've been telling Shaka the truth. Rejected or accepted, thought later," added Olivia.

Their conversation came to a halt when there was a boisterous sound of applause in the middle of the basketball court. It was seen that some people were crowding while cheering the crowd while haunting the name of Shaka-the school basketball star.

Olivia and Zahira looked at each other, rubbing their eyes repeatedly. Then, both of them got up from their seats and rushed towards the field.

"Ziva, will you accept my love and make me your lover?"

The sentence immediately disturbed Zahira's sense of hearing when his legs had just reached the grass on the edge of the basketball court.

Suddenly, Zahira felt a limp all over her body. The backpack that the girl was holding fell down just like that. The scene up ahead really made his chest feel tight. From a distance of three meters, it can be seen clearly how the young man he loves gives a set of red roses complete with teddy bear brown to the school prima donna.

Tightness returned when the girl said the word 'yes' in front of everyone. Zahira's heart shattered into pieces watching the unification of the two human beings ahead there. Staring at the nano while feeling disappointment inside.

"By!" olivia exclaimed as she turned her head to the side, but her friend had already stepped out of the crowd. "Zahira, wait!"

However, Zahira did not look back at all. He continued walking with tears, bringing with him the feeling of being crushed because a loved one had harbored a heart to another woman.
