Trapped in Young Boss Love
Engagement

" This time Zahra, answer honestly, what is it? will I try to be sincere if you are happy?? Again I ask you or Vino? Honestly, I won't ask you again.

Reyhan's words echoed over and over again. Long Zahra did not answer, finally he opened his voice trying to hold back his crying, " Once again I am sorry mas, I pray that Mas Reyhan soon find a better soul mate than me. I ask as Vino's sister, bless us."

No farewells, long time they did not speak, finally they cut off each other's calls.

The next day, Azzam came to the apartment with his wife Sofia. They were about to take both of their parents to the airport to return to Malang.

Azzam was surprised to see Zahra also packing her clothes into a suitcase. Azzampun asked his sister, "Well you want to go home too?"

" Yes Mas, I've resigned from the office, oh yeah don't forget to take Brother Sofi home on my engagement day!" zahra replied by pretending to be cheerful as usual.

" Isyalloh Zahra," Sofi replied.

" What's so sudden?" ask Azzam curious.

" It's been a long time I think Mas, like I don't fit well with the air of Jakarta, Hot," replied Zahra to quell his brother's curiosity.

" Alhamdulillah Zam, your sister wants to go home, will her promise to Jakarta only briefly with Mom and Dad," said Ms. Maryam to chimed in their conversation.

Zahra walked slowly dragging the suitcase down the corridor, looking towards the door of Reyhan's apartment, hoping to see his face one last time. Both of his parents had walked far ahead of him.

Reyhan came out of the elevator, kissing the backs of Zahra's parents' hands in turn.

" I'm sorry ma'am I can't take you, be careful on the road" Reyhan said.

"It's okay, Reyhan, forgive us if you've been here to bother you a lot" replied Miss Maryam.

" Together, ma'am" replied Reyhan.

Reyhan walked away from them towards his apartment, his steps halted in front of Zahra.

Zahra bowed down and said, "Thank you for everything, Mas, this may be the last time you see me,"

" Hare! that's enough for me,"

They finally went in opposite directions. Now there are no more tears, a stubbornness that they are trying to show each other.

the words of Reyhan who wanted her to be happy, it felt like a heart-wrenching dagger. How a person he has hurt, even wants his happiness, should be the maki caci he should get. Zahra left Jakarta City carrying her wounds, her heart muttering "How can I be happy, while happy if only I am with you Mas Reyhan. Oh, be happy too! If you are sad, then I am also sad."

***

The cool air of the Batu city of Malang Regency broke through the window of Zahra's room. The room he left for months. Now he comes back with the same taste as he left. The loss and pain are even more painful.

Zahra stood beside the balcony of her room looking down faintly at the apple trees surrounding her house. Miss Maryam's voice resuscitated her daydream, "Zahra why haven't you slept? seems like something has changed since you came from Jakarta?"

" No ma'am" replied Zahra as she approached her mother. He was lying in his mother's arms. Then taking her to her bed, Maryam gently stroked Zahra's long hair, which she let unravel.

" Mommy's been feeling bad for Zahra ever since your sister was in jail. There's something that holds my heart when I see Reyhan holding another woman, I used to see you guys are okay, why is it that you're closer to Vino?"

The deg!

" Zahra just realized Mom, Vino who loves Zahra more, pray for us yes Mom, oh yes mom Vino will propose to Zahra," replied Zahra.

" Mom and Dad always pray for your kindness and that of Azzam, our children" said Ms. Maryam.

For days Zahra had been sleep-deprived, softer caresses Ma Maryam delivered her daughter to dreamland. Ms. Maryam lifted the blanket to her daughter's body, closed the bedroom window and turned off the lights and left Zahra in deep sleep.

***

Ting!

The voice of the incoming message on Zahra's phone, an SMS that was again not in his contact list. In the content of the message, Zahra already knows who the sender, who else if not Vanessa.

"When are you getting engaged, haven't you found your future husband? I want you to post your engagement and wedding on all your Medsos accounts"

Zahra throws the phone over the bed, letting go of her frustration.

The ringing sound from her phone made Zahra reach for her phone again. As a tadpole, Vino contacted him,

" Asalamu'alaikum,"

" Wa'alaikumussalam, Vino "

" How can we continue to demand Vanessa?"

" Yes Vino, this time he asked me to upload our engagement and wedding events to all my Medsos accounts, I don't know what the plan is,"

" Maybe to convince Reyhan alone,"

" Have you spoken to your family Vino? I'm asking for all this help let's just let us know, don't let anyone else know?"

" I'll talk to Mama, as soon as I get to your house,"

***

Vino talked to his mother about the proposal. Her mother had doubts about what her son said, and she contacted Reyhan.

Reyhan talks with Ms. Fatma via a cellular telephone connection, Reyhan assures her that she has joined Zahra with Vino. Reyhanpun refused her mother's request to attend her sister's engagement on the grounds of being busy with office work.

The planned day arrives, Vino and his family head for Zahra's residence. Various offerings are wrapped beautifully carried by family members.

Vino was glued to see the girl in front of him, wearing a maroon-red Muslim dress, wrapped in matching colors. The only girl he couldn't get in college. Now the girl will become her fiance in ways she did not expect. In his happiness he was very sad. How can he get engaged to a girl who doesn't love him. Now Vino must be aware of this engagement because of coercion.

Ms. Fatma whispered in Vino's ear, "Let's put the ring on, how long will you look at it?"

Finally Vino and Zahra exchanged rings. A loud applause followed him. The event ended the do'a and discussion of the continuation of relations by the nuclear family and figures who were raised by each family according to Javanese custom. The family has a good day for marriage.

Meanwhile, Reyhan watches Zahra and Vino's engagement through live streaming. His heart is broken, but Vanessa tries to comfort him. Vanessa deliberately came to Reyhan's apartment to show the broadcast.

Vanessa invites Reyhan to accompany her to dinner. Reyhan had no reason to reject her, let alone no more women that he had to take care of his heart, no more women who were always jealous when he was close to other women. Yes, now that woman Zahra now belongs to Vino's sister.
