The Delayed Love
Cha's restlessness awaits Zain
Cha and Zain meet Dewi and Rudy. They returned to Jogja in the afternoon. Along the way, Dewi and Cha unceasingly make a joke that keeps them in the car laughing out loud.
"Cha, when are you coming back to Medan?" ask the Goddess seriously.
"Possibly this week I'm back on Wi. Because it's a week away from the party" Cha replied.
"Gw wants to attend Lo's party. But..," the Goddess stopped her speech.
Cha understood why the Goddess stopped, he immediately snatched the Goddess' speech.
"If Lo does not intend to come to the party, let Rudy take care of it later. How's it?" ask Cha.
"Ah, don't be Cha. I don't feel good to take care of Lo," replied Dewi.
Though the Goddess really wants to attend Cha's party. But she knows not to force Cha to help her.
Rudy realized that Dewi did not have the funds to go to Medan. Then he took the initiative to give help to the Goddess.
"If you want to attend, Wi. I'll ask permission from Mom. I'll take care of everything" Rudy said.
"Wi has received a signal from Rudy. Don't turn it down Wi!" exclaims Cha smile.
"Mmm, well Cha, I'll come with Rudy. Isn't that Rud?" the Goddess asked Rudy for support.
"Of course we'll come" replied Rudy.
Along the way they enjoy the trip to Jogja. After an hour, they finally got home.
"Hah, we finally arrived too," said Cha knowing his breath.
"Iya Cha, I'm so tired today" replied the Goddess.
They got out of the car and rushed into the house.
"Honey, you go straight to the office with Rudy."
Zain immediately says goodbye to Cha to his office. He will finish his business at the office. Because there are some things to do.
"Yes, when you're done, come back here. I'll wait here" replied Cha.
"Dear, my dear brother left first, yes" Zain left Cha.
After Zain left, Cha went inside the house. He walked towards his room to rest. Cha cleans up his already sticky body. When he finished, he immediately laid his body on the bed. Initially Cha just closed his eyes, but over time, Cha was asleep.
At night, Cha wakes up and sees that Zain has not returned. Cha looks at the clock on the wall that shows seven o'clock at night. Then Cha took his phone and checked it. No calls or messages came in.
"Is he so busy that he can't send a message?" muttered Cha agitated.
Suddenly the door of the room opened, the Goddess entered and approached Cha.
"Cha, I tried to contact Rudy but it wasn't picked up either. How am I feeling uncomfortable?" asked the Goddess who immediately cheered into Cha's room.
"Deg," Cha's heart stopped immediately, he looked at the Goddess seriously.
"Why does the Goddess have the same feeling huh? Don't-don't, ah impossible. Astaghfirullahal'adzim why do I think it's so ugly yeah," Bathin Cha rumbled.
"Why do you shut up Cha? Have you tried calling Zain?" ask the Goddess who awakened Cha from his mind.
"Huh, uh yes, I also have not been able to hear Wi," replied Cha. "When did you call Rudy?" ask Cha.
Cha also shook his head, because he had not received any news from Zain either.
"Wait a minute, I'll try to reach him first" Cha said. Cha then pressed Zain's number, but his phone was off. Cha is worried about Zain.
"Not raised Wi," the info.
"Keep how dong. Do you know where his office is? It's eight o'clock past Cha. Are they overtime?" ask the Goddess to worry.
"Gw doesn't know Wi. Because Zain said he was coming back. He asked me to wait for him" Cha explained.
"How did dong go? Do we wait, if you know they are busy," replied the Goddess.
"Yes Wi, let's wait. Now we better eat first. Because my stomach is laper," asked Cha.
"Gw is not calm Cha. I don't have appetite."
Actually Cha is also not calm, but he tries to master himself so as not to overdo his fear. Cha tries to calm himself. He wishes Zain well.
"Oh Wi, we should eat. What if we get sick? Their time takes care of us? Though we are worrying about them," said Cha who gave a view of the Goddess.
"Yes I'll eat, but a little." Goddesses really have no appetite at this time. She still wasn't calm before Rudy was in front of her or giving her any news.
Both of them came out of the room. They walked towards the dining table. The aunt prepared dinner for four people. The plates are neatly arranged according to their seats. But now Zain and Rudy are not around. There is only Cha and Goddess.
"Loh Ma'am Cha, Mr Zain and Mas Rudy haven't come back yet?" ask the aunt who didn't see any Zain and Rudy.
"Yes Bi, they haven't returned yet. Maybe soon," replied Cha who tried to console himself by assuring him that Zain would return.
"Oh if so Bibi to the kitchen first yes Ma'am," said the Aunt.
"Iya Bi," replied Cha.
Cha and Dewi have no appetite, but they still take a little rice to enjoy. At the dinner table, none of them spoke. Both dissolve in their minds. Cha is not focused on the food on his plate. He did not realize that the food on his plate was a mess.
The Aunt who came to bring the pieces of fruit, was surprised to see Cha's plate that had been messed up.
"Mbak Cha, why is his name in a mess?" reprimand the Aunt.
Cha and Dewi were surprised, they lowered their heads and looked at their respective plates in a mess.
"Owh yes aampuun, why is this so?" muttered Cha who did not notice it.
"Mabk Cha let me finish the plate. Ma'am can use Mr. Zain's plate which is still empty" suggested the Aunt.
Cha looked at the empty chair, it should be currently occupied by Zain. But the guy hasn't come yet. Cha breathed his heavy breath.
"Yes Bi, I'm sorry about Auntie," Cha said.
"It's okay, Ma'am. Mother Mbak Cha think what to the whole," said the Aunt.
"I think of Zain, Bi. I have not told you from earlier. Inactivated, the number is Bi" explains Cha.
"Try again Ma'am, say hello again in cas," entertain the Aunt.
"Ah yes Aunt is right. If you know it was again in cas ya earlier," repeated Cha comforting himself hoping it was true.
Cha tries to call back, but remains inactive. Cha is engulfed in anxiety.
