The Delayed Love
A gift for Sika

They got in the car. Sika did not stop looking at Zain, even though he was sitting in the back.

"Sister, will Brother Zain come with us home?" ask Sika curiously.

Cha turned towards Zain. Cha actually wants Zain to see his mother, but he realizes that the time is not right. Cha had to wait for things to improve a little.

"No dear. Brother Zain just drove us. He won't come inside. Big brother dared to ask him to meet Mama," replied Cha.

"Well, if Brother Zain is serious why not brother!" exclaim Sika.

"So don't want to see the condition of Mama first deck. When the time comes, surely brother will take brother Zain to the house to meet Mama," said Cha.

Sika just shut up. He did not dare to ask again. Because he knew that his brother must have thought of everything well and considered.

Along the way, they just quietly enjoy the view outside the car. The road makes them a little long to get to Cha's house. Until the car enters the road to Cha's house.

Zain still remembers how he used to accompany Binyu to find out where Cha's house is. And Zain was always waiting for Cha near his alley. Zain smiled at a glance when he remembered the incident.

Cha turns to notice Zain's attitude. But he refused to ask.

"Why are you smiling Zain?" ask Cha.

"I remember the memories of the past. It feels funny, now I'm taking you back home. It's really an interesting story" Zain replied.

"Did you always remember Zain?" ask Cha again.

"Of course Cha. For me it's an unforgettable memory. It's a beautiful story that can't be forgotten" Zain replied.

"Did those memories really work for Zain?"

"Yup, that's very effective. And it's that story that's got me closer to you, Cha."

Sika who sat behind only became a good listener. He chose to look at the street from his glass window.

It did not feel like time was going so fast, until they finally arrived in front of the alley of Cha's house.

"Zain, you're taking me here, okay?" pinta Cha's.

"Let me drive you to the front of the house. After that I'll go back to the hotel" Zain replied.

"Yes, brother, let brother Zain nemani us to the front of the house. It's better that Zain's brother also be at our house" suggested Sika.

"Sister of the brave belom of the deck brings together Mama and Kak Zain," replied Cha.

"If so let brother Zain take us home, if brother Zain does not mind," pinta Sika.

"Alright, you can send me with Sika to the front of the house," said Cha resigned.

Zain is excited to drive Cha. The car finally entered the alley of Cha's house which was not too wide. Until finally arrived in front of Cha's house. Sika went down first and thanked Zain.

"Sister handsome, thank you for being kind enough to take us. I'll see you soon" said Sika with a smile.

Sika got out of the car and left her brother with her friend.

Cha is still in the car. He looked towards Zain.

"Zain, I'm sorry you had to go back to the hotel. I hope you understand yes" said Cha who felt bad.

"What a shame, I know. You should tell me often no matter what," Zain replied as he rubbed Cha's cheek.

"Yes Zain. I'm going in the house first."

But before Cha gets out of the car, Zain holds his arm.

"Can I kiss you Cha..?" pinta Zian is hopeful.

Cha nodded and brought himself closer to Zain. Then they kissed, shared tenderness and exchanged salivations.

After being satisfied, Cha released their lips and he smiled at Zain.

"I went in first and I went home" Cha repeated.

"Heum" Zain replied.

On the porch of the house already stood his brother named Ina. Ina looked at Cha suspiciously. He was surprised why Cha came back to Medan. And wondered in his heart where Cha could buy a plane ticket from. But Ina refrained from asking. Waiting for the right time.

After helping Cha pick up his belongings and making sure Cha gets inside the fence, Zain leaves Cha's house. He returned to the hotel where Binyu had been waiting for him.

Inside Cha's house, she saw her mother already sitting in the living room. Cha also sat down after greeting his mother.

"Why are you coming home, huh?" ask her mother not happy.

"Cha just wants to see the state of Mama and the sisters here, Ma," Cha replied.

"Where do you have the money to buy tickets. You don't make a shit out there, do you?" accuse her mother of cruelty.

"No Ma, Cha used his own money that Cha saved up all this time" Cha replied.

"You're not lying!" connect Ina.

"No brother" replied Cha.

He doesn't want them to know that everything he does is helped by Zain. Cha is afraid, his family will think negatively and judge him badly if he finds out about Zain.

"Sorry Ma, I'll go to the room first. Let me rest first" Cha said as he looked at his mother.

"Go, you see it's your sisters" asked Mama.

"Yes Ma."

Cha leaves his mother and brother in the living room. Cha knows that her brother is nosy and wants to know about Cha.

Cha does not enter his room, but he walks towards his sister Sika's room. He knocked on Sika's room door.

"Tok tok, deck..!" call Cha slowly.

Before long, Sika's room door opened. Sika has changed clothes.

"Come on, sister" asked Sika.

"I don't just want to love souvenirs for you and the youngest. But his souvenirs are still in sister's bag. Let's go to brother's room, "please invite Cha.

"Truth sister bring souvenirs?" ask Sika curiously.

"Yes Sika.and there's also a seat from Zain's sister," Cha replied as he pinched Sika's chubby cheeks.

"Come sister, Sika can't wait to see her gift," Sika also happily pulled her sister's hand out of her room.

They both walked into Cha's room. Then Cha opened his bedroom door and looked at a different room. There was no more lavender scent in the room. Everything has changed. The room that was once where Cha shared his story.

Sika sat sweetly on the edge of Cha's bed. She was impatient to see the souvenirs from her brother and her brother's lover.

"Where are the children?" ask Sika impatiently.

"In the meantime dong dek, sister again open her bag. Did you lock the door to her door?" ask Cha.

Cha doesn't want Ina to go inside and see Zain's souvenirs. He didn't want to deal with Ina who was the complainant.

After unpacking the contents of his bag, Cha gave his gift to Sika.

"This is a gift from my sister. And this one is from brother Zain for Sika.

"Well...great for her school bag?" sika said in amazement.

"Yes that's brother bought it in Paris" Cha replies.

Sika was surprised and stared in disbelief at Cha.

"When you're not listening wrong? Brother said this is from Paris?" ask Sika again.

"Yes, this is a bag from Paris" Cha replied seriously.

"Hahaha, I'm kidding. When's brother there?"

"Sister will tell you. And brother will tell you everything" said Cha.
