Tiba Khitbah
An Unrecognized Taste

Zahra was silent as she lowered her face, how she could get up while the body felt very weak and unable to stand.

"Zahra, are you really unable to stand?"

Alex began to panic, from his face was also clearly drawn a regret for scolding and yelling at the beautiful girl, moreover Zahra did nothing wrong to him, he said, it's just that Alex feels that Zahra is tricking him with a joke.

"Zahra, sorry!"

Alex stood firm, without further ado he stood up and carried Zahra into his arms. Yes, rather he carried the tiny body of Zahra as if without burden.

"Alex, what are you doing,"

Not finished yet Zahra continued his words, Alex had already cut it.

"Zahra, no, don't talk too much!"

Zahra was silent, resigned, because inevitably, like to dislike, he had to obey Alex.

Zahra wrapped her hands around Alex's neck as she continued to look at the handsome face of the man in front of her, while Alex just continued to step forward without looking at the beautiful girl in the slightest.

"Zahra, we're going to the hospital, yeah, it looks like you're sprained" Alex said with eyes that continued to stare into the road ahead to make the two become clumsy.

"D-yes."

Zahra turned her face away from Alex when her eyes and Alex's eyes met for a moment.

Dak, dik, duk ...

Zahra's heart was pounding amazingly, as if there were little bunnies trapped to jump around there.

"Udah ah, don't be groggy, just plain!"

Alex is really very good at making Zahra misbehave to feel low.

"Oh, what the hell!"

Zahra's one hand punched Alex in the chest, as if her remaining strength she used to vent her frustration to the handsome man who helped her.

"Aw, sick, Zahra!"

Zahra was like a thankless human being, like a snake child, helped and bit.

"If you want to help, just help, not a lot of style" said Zahra with a high voice.

Zahra is upset and does not like Alex's attitude to him, although to be honest Zahra's rude attitude because of his wrong attitude towards Alex.

"Now sit pretty!"

Alex lays Zahra in his car, treating Zahra very kindly with affection.

The relationship between Zahra and Alex is nothing more than friends, but Zahra feels affection and sincere love from Alex's treatment of him, a sweet attitude that makes Zahra feel very comfortable.

It has been a long time since this self-limits close to men, because the pain and trauma of the past made Zahra no longer want to hang hope on to humans, he said, but somehow with Alex this self always depends, Zahra always acts spoiled to him, bothering him with rattles that are actually not important, even Zahra just wants to share her likes and sorrows with Alex, Alex, who is not really important, then just one day there was no news of Alex making Zahra go crazy. Zahra and he are like sandals, not the same but complementary.

"Wait here!"

Alek then closed the door of his car after which he saved Zahra's motorcycle which had also smelled asphalt. Zahra saw Alex saving his bike and taking it to the side of the road. The man left the Zahra motorbike in one of the community houses.

Alex then ran up to Zahra again, opening the car door in a style that looked very cool, really looking very handsome and charming.

Zahra continued to watch the handsome man who was now sitting next to her. Really, focus and worry were mixed on his face, until an atmosphere of silence was created for a while.

"Ara, what's really going on? Why are you on the road?" alex asked on the sidelines of their trip to the hospital.

With ease Zahra spoke briefly, as she pleased, because honestly Zahra no longer had the spirit to continue her life that was no longer valuable.

"Zahra, who is this man?"

Alex stops the car suddenly, to Zahra's surprise. Fortunately, his heart did not fall because of the sudden movement.

"What the hell, Lex!"

Zahra snapped at Alex while widening her eyes at the handsome man.

Huf ...

Alex took a deep breath, then put on a serious face to Zahra. Alex's face looks scary like a tiger about to pounce on its prey.

"When?"

Zahra knew very well that Alex's question was fixed at the time of her marriage, but some of her heart also felt that Alex also let her marry another man.

"Six more months, after Eid al-Adha's eid."

A short answer while looking down, put on a sad face because discussing an unwanted marriage makes Zahra's life not excited.

"Congratulations, you finally get the godly man you want, unlike me whose religious knowledge is so shallow."

It was Alex's turn to put on a sad face. I don't know what the words and attitudes of the man mean. Alex even congratulates but compares himself to a fiance that Zahra does not want.

"I still have 180 days left, what about our vacation to Yogyakarta?" zahra asked with a look that could not be separated from staring at Alex.

"We're still leaving" Alex replied flatly, but it sounded very serious.

"Depart?"

Zahra shrugged both of her shoulders, as a form of expression of her disbelief with what she had just heard.

"Yes, we'll go as planned" Alex said in a very convincing tone.

"Can we go two months before my wedding?" zahra Pinta.

"Why?"

Alex begins to look into Zahra's eyes, asking about the girl's reason.

"Because I'll be pinned down if it's approaching H's day."

Zahra and Alex had indeed planned a trip to Yogyakarta because he was very curious about the place of college and Alex's youth life while in Yogyakarta. However, their plan has not been realized because both are still equally busy and do not have a proper schedule to go together.

"If you're going to get whipped, go with your future husband!"

Alex's face reddened, his tone rising. He drove back at high speed like a racer with a straight forward view, as if he was venting his emotions.

"Alex, slow down, I don't want to die yet!"

Zahra rebuked Alex, but the handsome man did not care at all, he continued driving at high speed.

Really, Zahra's attitude was indeed very strange, he had just said he did not want to live anymore, but everything changed when Alex started acting unusual.

"Alex, are you jealous?"

Zahra looked at Arya's face carefully, the handsome man looked misbehaved with a reddened face that was downcast. Alex is a cute guy who will never express how he feels, but this time it is clear that Alex is showing a different attitude than usual.

"Alex, you're not jealous, are you?
