Love and the Past
The Part 76
The party ended two hours ago, everyone had disbanded as well as Azka and Salsa who had come home together. Along the way, Azka did not make a sound even though Salsa continued to babble. The jealous flames still overwhelm Azka when she sees Salsa singing on stage with a man known as an actor.
"I want to tell you something the same, I was so happy to meet ...."
"No need to tell me I'm lazy to hear your story," cut Azka fast, focus on driving, just staring at Salsa not.
Salsa was stunned by Azka's words just now, what happened to the man? Not enough he obeyed Azka's willingness not to invite her to talk at the party?
"Ka, why?" ask Salsa not to guess.
"Who was that guy?"
"Sister Devan?"
"No need to say his name I don't like." Azka's tone was getting tighter, instead of getting angry, Salsa even gave a smile. So Azka jutek like this out of jealousy?
"I'll hear my story then" pinta Salsa.
"Gue's not Sal's mood, so stop talking!"
Instead of stopping, Salsa pulled one hand of Azka for her to hold.
"He's handsome and I've been pretty much the same since he first debuted. But he can't want you at all, Ka. You are a man full of responsibility, attention, good and of course love for me. The men out there won't be able to shift your position here." Salsa placed one of her hands on Dada.
"Ekhem." Azka cleared her throat to neutralize the nervousness that suddenly struck.
The originally flat and cold expression is now a little cool. Azka smiled very thinly hearing Salsa's confession which was able to make her bones fragile instantly.
"Kan Adem Ka, look at you smile, even if just a little. Now can I tell you something about Lo?"
"Hm."
"Your mom was just what our relationship was like, and I answered only as a friend. No papa, right?"
Azka's chest rumbled to hear Salsa's words, not Salsa's heartache admitting her as a friend. But he felt pain imagining how Salsa felt when she said it all. He should have been a beautiful man who acknowledged their relationship.
"Gue's? I don't know," muttered Salsa.
"Thank God you're not dating."
Salsa's heart was like a big stone bump hearing a sentence that was thrown by Aunt Tari after she said she was only friends with Azka. Had he not seen the man's struggle, Salsa would have retreated. Why do relationships go on without any blessing?
"Salvene!"
"Why Ka?"
"Gue of promise ...."
"Don't promise me anything Ka, it'll be a huge debt if you can't get it right one day."
It did not feel like the two reached Salsa's courtyard.
"Azka my hand" said Salsa when Azka did not release his hand.
"An hour," pinta Azka looked at Salsa so deeply.
"Huh?"
"Temenin I'm sleeping!" pinta Azka's.
Salsa swallowed her coarse salivation, Azka's sentence was very ambiguous in her ears.
Azka leaned her head against the car seat, closing her eyes while looking at Salsa's hand. Just sleeping near Salsa makes Azka so happy in the middle of the problems she faces, what else will be ahead of graduation. The demands of the father who told him to go to college in the country, his promise to Salsa to catch the killer of the girl's father, and the blessing he was waiting for.
"Kirain Apaan Ka, just sleep I'll wait lo," Swab Azka's head.
