We are Not Honey
Tire 24. Farewell Gift

The car Ryan was driving slowly left the Villa, which holds fond memories for Zahra. The woman who had just a few hours ago took off her girlishness, continued to smile with flushed cheeks when remembering the incident last night.

"You're not sad? I'll stay with you soon, Ra." Said Riyan softly.

The smile on Zahra's pretty face, as well as the hue on his wife's cheek made her heart feel uneasy. How could Zahra continue to smile happily while remaining a few hours they will be separated.

Hearing a soft question from Riyan's lips, the smile on Zahra's face disappeared. Change the stern face, which he had never shown anyone.

"If you have returned to Jakarta, do not show a face like this to Mbak Meisya. I'll be mad at you, Mas. Don't hurt him anymore." His words are firm.

"Ra, I will leave you after taking your chastity, will you still be fine?" Ask Riyan.

"I'm just fulfilling my duty, Mom. And you only take your rights, that's all! I would be sadder if I found myself still in a state of holiness, even though I was married. I feel like a woman my husband doesn't want to be, and it hurts. It hurts a lot more, when you let go with the woman who should have been by your side long ago." Answer Zahra. "I'll be fine. By handing it over, I feel like I no longer have any debt to our marriage." Its effects.

Ryan did not answer. The man could not even look at Zahra's face when his wife spoke. For some reason, every time he heard this sentence that came out of his wife's lips, he increasingly felt like a loser man.

"Neither go in. Just go straight back." Zahra held onto Riyan's hand, who was about to open the car door and intended to get out of it.

"Ra, I want to see Mom. I want to apologize to him for having to treat you like this." Said Riyan pleading. However, Zahra shook her head...

"Go home, Mas. Mom, let me explain to her about everything that's going on between us." Answer Zahra. "Go home." His request again then opened the car door that was beside him.

But it wasn't Riyan if he was going to let go of the woman he loved, just like that. He pulled Zahra's body and hugged the tiny body very tightly.

"Thank you for such a special parting gift."Her speech.

Zahra pulled her body then looked at Riyan with a smile.

"Don't remember what happened last night was a parting gift. I don't want you to keep remembering him. Let's just say, it's something ordinary that must be given a wife to her husband. After meeting Ma'am Mei, forget whatever happened here. Leave all that here, don't bring it again. Start living a new life with Ma'am Mei. I'd be much happier if Ma'am Mei would be as happy as she used to be. Seeing that your relationship will return to how it was before I was present, will make my sacrifice today not be a waste."Zahra said at length.

Riyan could only be silent, staring at his wife's beautiful face with tears welling up in her eyes. His chest seemed to break, every time he saw Zahra trying to strengthen his heart, even though he knew the woman in front of him was as hurt as Meisya.

Some time the car that just delivered itself, still not moving. The man who was inside her, just reopened the car window and looked at her heartily.

"I love you, Zahra. Love you so much." Said Riyan again.

"I knew. Go awayl. Leave that love here, let me take care of it." Answer Zahra.

With a heavy heart, Riyan finally started to drive his car off the road where Zahra was.

After Riyan's car disappears at the end of the road, Zahra's body collapses on the side of the road. This past few weeks, he's been trying to strengthen his legs just to make them look okay. Today, however, everything feels so heavy. His heart broke, his soul torn apart. The core of his body still feels sore because he put something most valuable in his body, on someone who is also valuable in his life.

Let's say he's so stupid, but that's what he wants to do. Not only because he wants to fulfill a wife's obligation to her husband, but he does want to give it to someone he considers valuable.

Long enough Zahra cried there, while banging his chest for holding tightness. This was the toughest thing after Rayan left. Several years with Rayan, he did not get this injured because he was left by the man. Not because he did not love Rayan, but since long ago the whole family had known that Rayan would not live long because of the pain she suffered.

However, it was different with Riyan. As the man declares wanting to marry her, new feelings of love begin to blossom in the heart. Riyan's good treatment of her, further fostering that love. And now, he has to give up the man he loves, live happily with other women who are more entitled to love Riyan than him.

After being content to cry for himself, Zahra moved from the asphalt. A few people who passed by the street, stared in wonder at him. However, he didn't care about it at all. His face and clothes are clean. Then carefully, Zahra pulled the suitcase into a small street that would take her to the orphanage she had long left behind.

A new life without Riyan would start from here. Removing slowly, a love that had already grown bloomed in his heart. He began to remove two names that only God gave time to stop, not to settle in his life.

Although it was not young, however, nothing was impossible. Love will not be wrong on whom he is anchored. However, sometimes we also have to be able to use logic to think, if love is not in destiny we have, then we must be heartened to let her go with the love that should be.
