Flashback.
It was late and Zada had just come home from work. He had to pass through the rat road because the main road was being closed. Because of the quiet atmosphere, Zada felt his hair goosebumps.
Moreover, the abandoned buildings that Zada had to pass through made the atmosphere even more gripping. While passing through one of the tall buildings, Zada foam heard the sound of women screaming.
Zada tried to sharpen his ears because it was not the sound of ghosts. Zada turned off his car engine and pulled over to make sure his hearing was not wrong.
"Please! Help u! Nay! Don't do it now! I can't stand it ... Please ...."
Zada could clearly hear the shrieks and groans begging for mercy from inside the building. While staring at one of the windows on the second floor, Zada was able to capture the silhouette of two people.
Zada rubbed his eyes to make sure that his vision was not wrong. And sure enough, Zada could hear the voice of the woman squealing in pain again with the silhouette trying to dodge the attack.
Without a second thought, Zada ran into the building and towards the second floor of the building. Zada can watch a woman who is fighting when she will be chastised. Feeling pity, Zada looks for a tool where he can fight against the perpetrator.
Zada looked at the knife lying on the floor and without a second thought, Zada grabbed it and approached with overflowing emotions.
Goddamn bum!
Bugh!
Bugh!
Zada delivers a series of blows to the perpetrator to cause hysterical screeches from the woman. After the perpetrator drooped on the floor, without a second thought Zada immediately pulled the knife in his hand upwards.
The slap!
Zada's world stopped at that moment. When he had stuck a knife in the stomach of a man who Zada did not know who. From then on, a treaty between Zada and Ghaida took place.
Moreover, Ghaida explained that it was common to be a slave as a boy who Zada killed to end up pregnant. Ghaida cried because she was pregnant but had no husband.
From then on, Zada chose to marry Ghaida as a form of responsibility and protect himself from iron bars.
Off Flashback.
Zoya closes her mouth in disbelief as Zada recounts a flashback of her marrying Ghaida. "Ta–but ha–should you marry her? A–aku did not expect you can — act impulsive —," Stammering, Zoya said it.
"I'm sorry, Zoya. Please forgive me. If I could be honest, I still love you so much. The love I gave to Ghaida was nothing like my love for you. Therefore, I will divorce Ghaida,"
Zoya grunted in annoyance. As if Zada was saying love. Eat the love!
"I still love you, too, Mom. But ...."
"But what, Zoya?"
Zoya silently looked at Zada flatly. "But it's not just love that's needed to be in a relationship. We're divorced, let's keep being 'former' without having to reverse,"
"Why can't you refer, Zoya? Is love not enough for you?" ask Zada in frustration.
Zoya shakes. "Because repeating the story with the ex is like watching a movie over and over again and we already know the ending. So, I chose to live with the new sheet again. Painting a new story and hoping for someone new to come into my life. If not, it doesn't matter. For God's destiny is well established,"
The rain flushed the capital as the clock turned eight o'clock exactly. But that did not make Zoya get up from the chair she was sitting on the balcony of her room.
Luckily, the rain did not hit his body because a wide canopy covered his bottom. Zoya felt a gust of wind piercing through her skin.
All were still stifling as the shadow of his companionship with Zada flashed through his mind. Zoya wants to forget, but it's not that easy to say the word forget. I don't know how many days, months, even years Zoya has to go through without the shadow of the past.
Zoya sighed. "Not because you've fallen in too deep. Not because you are the most hated. But, you're the best to be shunned. We can never be mediocre after everything that has ever been, after everything has ended by force,"
Zoya rubbed her wet cheek from one tear drop. Zoya promises, this is the cry of sorrow that Zoya let out for the man that Zoya loved so much.
Sweet memories will be saved, bitter memories will be forgotten and Zoya will be loving. All the useful things that Zada has taught, Zoya will try to practice. Because in fact, science can come from anywhere including from the mouth of the Sinner.
Zoya stared at the ginger milk cup in front of her whose smoke was no longer steaming because the cold had hugged her. Zoya drank the ginger milk even though it was no longer warm.
As Zoya looked up again, Zoya could see the tall man standing on the sidewalk in a cold state. He was in the shade with his motorcycle that he parked in front of the shophouse.
"It's not ... Mas Pratama?"
Zoya instantly remembers something when she sees Tama wearing only a thin shirt. Zoya goes into her room and searches for the suit that Tama donated to her. Yes, donated. Tama said it herself.
After being able to, Zoya rushes down and carries her umbrella.
Tama who saw Zoya would approach him also smiled faintly, feeling happy. "Hi, Mas. This is your suit that was donated to me. I'll donate again to you because you're in need" said Zoya clumsily. He was not that close to Tama.
Tama received the suit and immediately put it on. "Thank you." Tama replied smiling faintly again. And for some reason, that thin smile looks so handsome in Zoya's eyes. "Acharmed? Just one day I said your name, instantly fascinated, yes," said Tama arrogant.
Zoya takes her eyes off because after all, Zoya shouldn't stare at the opposite sex for too long. Zoya immediately remembered something and looked up to raise a question that bothered her. "Don't you know my name?" zoya asked full of questions.
"Zoya Adisthy."
Zoya opened her mouth for a while and closed it and opened it again. You could say, Zoya is currently plonga-plongo because she does not believe in her hearing. "How did you know? I haven't even told you?"
"I can know anything I want to know including finding out about your life," Tama replied without taking her eyes off. "I've seen you since you first entered the course. And at that very moment, maybe people will call it love at first sight," Tama said with her eyes fixed on Zoya.
Zoya rolled her eyes puffed. "Love, love, love. Everyone seems to love. In fact, because love can also hurt people," Zoya answered cynically Tama said.
Tama was not offended at all and even smiled widely. "Not the wrong love, but the person. Love won't get tarnished if it's with the right people,"
