Zaenab And Zaki
Tania's Honesty

Bambang and Siska go to the minimarket leaving Zaki alone with Tania on the front porch. Zaki was getting confused as to what he should say to Tania. He simply lowered his gaze, occasionally looking to the right and to the left.

"Why are you so quiet now?"tanya Tania who opened the conversation first.

"It's okay. How are you doing? The wound's healed?"ask Zaki.

"Praise God I've been well..."Tania hesitated to continue her words.

"But why?"ask Zaki curiously.

"But my heart hurts because you never saw me while I was in the hospital."Tania lowered her head, instantly her eyes started to tear up.

"I'm very busy with my trial and busy taking care of Zaenab, my sister."

"It's okay. I-i understand. Yesterday I called Bambang and he told me what happened to Zaenab, your sister. I'm sorry, Ki.." said Tania.

"Thank you for the attention." replied Zaki.

"By the way, thank you for helping me when I was hit by a car and you took me to the hospital. God is very kind to me, sending angels as handsome and as good as you. I'm lucky to have you." said Tania while holding Zaki's hand.

"God is very good, only we are less grateful to him so we become ungrateful humans." said Zaki while releasing Tania's hand.

"Yes.you are absolutely right. I'm an example of a man who doesn't know thank you..."Tania lowered her face.

"Why are you talking like that?"ask Zaki wonder.

"Lately I've been angry about what my God did to me. He gave me an endless ordeal, Ki... You heard that me and Sherly were in D.O.(Droup Out) by the college?"

"Yes.I heard from Siska, your cousin. I'm concerned, Tan.."

"Thank you."

"Because I'm in D.O my parents kicked me out of the house, because to them I'm a child who brings shame to the family.hiks hyks..."Tania was crying in front of Zaki.

"I don't know where to start to speak honestly to you.Ki.hiks hyks..."

"Are you actually going to have an honest conversation about me?"

"I. I. I want to confess a sin that I have long covered from you. After I speak honestly, I hope you'll forgive me."

"I am not a priest or priest who used to listen to confessions that your religion used to do. I am not a holy man like them. But all right.I'll listen to you. What do you want to say?"

"Zaki.me. I am a seductress to people's husbands. If people think I'm a p*****r but I don't do it for money. I can get a lot of money from my dad. It's just that I'm doing this for the sake of..."Tania was unable to continue her words. Zaki just kept silent and waited for the continuation of the words Tania would say.

"For the sake of. grades in college transcripts and.I thirst for affection and attention from my parents.hiks hiks.."Tania was crying again. Zaki who saw him was just silent and took a deep breath.

"I teased the lecturer on campus for my grades in transcript A, why am I doing this? So that I can balance myself with you who are smart, smart, and idol on campus. Moreover, you graduated with a very satisfactory grade aka cum laude.hiks hyks..."Tania cried then she wiped the tears on her cheeks while looking at Zaki's face.

"Why are you silent? Why aren't you surprised or angry with me, Ki? Or...or do you know all about the real me?"Tania asked Zaki.

"Don't you just shut up! Angry me! Slap me if you need to! I'm a filthy, filthy and cheap woman!"Tania came back crying while tugging at Zaki's shirt. Tania sat on the floor near the chair that Zaki was sitting on.

"Wake up.Don't sit like that."Zaki woke up Tania who was sitting on the floor and sat her down on the chair.

"Let's have a drink first..."Zaki gave Tania a bottle of mineral water.

"Take a deep breath and throw it away slowly.huuufftt..."Zaki gave Tania an example so she could calm herself down. Tania followed Zaki's advice over and over again until her heart and mind were calm.

"You're calm? Is it better?"

"Yes" answered Tania briefly.

"Tania.To be honest I already know what your behavior out there is like. I have accurate evidence of what you do every day. The problem is you play with the lecturer on campus, I also know from Miss Silvi, my mentor. When I was tutoring her, she told me all about your relationship with her husband. When she told me about her husband's affair with you, she was devastated and cried in front of me. Do you know how I felt at that time? My heart is broken.it is so broken! The woman I love and care about, is doing something beyond my reasoning."

Hearing Zaki's words, Tania was startled and covered her mouth with both hands.

"You're a woman just like Miss Silvi. You should respect and respect each other, not destroy the lives of other women. I'm really disappointed in you! So much so that you ruin the household life of another woman when you are a woman. What if the thing that Miss Silvi experienced, will one day happen to you? I can't stop thinking, you're playing with your own lecturer who obviously deserves to be your father instead of your girlfriend" Zaki said as he got out of his chair and stood up to the streets.

"If the reason is only value and you want to balance with me, you are wrong! I like you because I see your attitude and nature in front of me very well. Who does not know 'Tania' sexy, beautiful, fashionable and rich women. Everyone on campus knows you're a 'campus girl' and I thought I was one of the lucky ones to get you. I chose the wrong woman!"said Zaki in a high tone.

"Zaki.forgive me.forgive me. I promise you, I won't do that again. I promised you but please forgive me.hiks hiks hyks"Tania pleaded with Zaki.

"God alone is Most Forgiving, I will forgive you as a people."

"Thank you Zaki. I really don't get the wrong choice of a future husband like you."Tania wiped her tears and smiled in front of Zaki.

"I forgive you but that doesn't mean our relationship is going the way it was yesterday. "

"What do you mean, Ki? We breaking-up? From when?"

"From the moment I drove you to the hospital that night. From there I decided to end our love story, Tan..."

"What's? Wh why? I promise I won't do anything like that again. I swear! I swear on the Bible. Siska...Siska..."Tania shouted to Siska who was walking towards Zaki's house with Bambang and Ucok. Siska rushed over to Tania who called out to her.

"Huf...Huft... Huft...What's up, Tan?"asked Siska who was exhausted running.

"Did you bring a Bible?"

"I always bring. What's up, huh?"siska's face was confused by Tania's question.

"I borrow it first! Quickly eject!"tania orders in a high tone.

"It's Tan..."Siska offered a small Bible that Siska carried every day in her bag.

"See Zaki! I could have sworn in the Bible that I would never do that again as long as you would come back to me.Ki..."Tania tries to hold Zaki's hand but is caught in the field.

"It's too late!"answer Zaki briefly.
