Kenzo stared fixedly at Ardi, now they were standing outside the cafe while enjoying the cold and very piercing night wind.
“Truth you don't remember her?” kenzo asked as he looked at his best friend.
“Who? You mean that girl?” tanya Ardi scrunched her forehead.
Kenzo nodded, “you really don't remember?” ask again.
Ardi shook his head slowly, “who is he? Do I need to remember?” tanyakanya.
“She's my cousin, she's the little girl you used to hit, when you were drunk at high school graduation. Have you forgotten that incident?” Kenzo sighed
long, “dia had been in a coma for 2 years more,” he added.
“You mean that girl....Zahra!” ardi was surprised. Kenzo smiled and nodded his head.
“Jeez, why can't I recognize him!” ardi shouted while squeezing his head hair.
“That time Zahra was only 7 years old, maybe that's what made you not recognize her.”
“I'm sorry, I can't keep her company until she wakes up, because I have to go to college in Pekanbaru.
Then what happened to Zahra when I left?” ask Ardi curiously.
“After two years of your departure, Zahra came to her senses from her coma, but she could not remember who she was at all. The little girl lives in fear all the time, not knowing what really happened to her. According to the doctor it was because before the accident happened, something happened to Zahra. Even after his memory recovered he could not remember what bad things he had experienced first,” explained Kenzo with his sad face.
“I'm sorry, I don't remember what happened that night either, because of my drunk condition. All I remember was suddenly a little girl running in front of my car, and when I saw the girl lying covered in blood it turned out to be Zahra.” Ardi let out a long sigh, he looked up at the sky
such a beautiful night with scattered stars flashing. “that night I was very panicked, until I finally called you,” he added.
“It is no use also you regret all that, now Zahra can live her life as before. His smile and joy were now back on his face. She grew up to be a very smart girl even now that she is in medical college, she aspires to become a doctor.”
“That incident happened 13 years ago, means Zahra's age is now 20 years?” Kenzo nodded, “but his face looked very mature,” added Ardi.
“That's what you think, Zahra was for me still a spoiled little girl. She was actually very lonely, because her parents were always busy working. That's why he decided to study in Japan.”
Suddenly the girl they were talking about walked up to them. Zahra smiled looking at Ardi, after which she looked at her cousin's sister, “Kak, sorry yes, I can't stay for long. I'm afraid that Mama and Papa will return again,” he said.
“Who are you going home with? Did you bring your own car?” ask Kenzo.
Zahra shook her head, “I can take a taxi,” he said.
Kenzo stared at Ardi, “you can't take a taxi, it's night.” Kenzo move
both of his eyebrows and glaring at both of his eyes looked at Ardi sharply. Ardi pursed his lips as if asking what his best friend's gesture meant.
“I'm fine, brother. I'm home first.” Zahra looked at Ardi then slightly bowed her body and smiled. The girl left Kenzo and Ardi.
“Why are you even angry with me, wrong I did try?”
“I was telling you to take Zahra home, just think of it as your fault-redeemer all this time the same him, basic stupid!”
“Mean it if the talk is clear, how understand me sign language like that!” exclaimed Ardi annoyed.
“They are insensitive, then now you go after Zahra and take her home, I want you
delivered him safely home. If anything happens with Zahra, you have to take responsibility,” threatened Kenzo and left Ardi.
Ardi snorted annoyedly, “indeed I want to do Zahra, use any threatening event, base!” Ardi patted his forehead, “astaga Zahra!”
Ardi rushed after the girl, lucky that the girl was still standing by the roadside while waiting for a taxi. Ardi walked closer to Zahra, “want me to drive home?” he was standing next to the girl.
Zahra looked to the side, she was surprised to see Ardi already standing next to her, “no need, sister. Thanks for the offer,” reject it with a smile on his face.
“I beg you, there is something I want to talk to you about.”
Zahra scrunched her forehead, “what's the matter?” tanyanya.
“Em...do you remember me?”
Zahra shook her head, “but earlier said Brother Leo, brother was the one who saved me when I had an accident a few years ago,”.
Ardi had not expected Leo to say such a thing to Zahra. He did not want to lie to the girl again, he would tell her the truth, even though it was not his fault.
“Let me drive you home, I'll tell you everything,” pinta Ardi.
Zahra stared fixedly at the face of the man who was now standing in front of her, “actually who is he, why does his face seem familiar? Did I know him?” ask in the heart.
“Where, would you like?” asked Ardi again, this time the question got a nod from the girl standing in front of him while continuing to look at his face.
Ardi takes Zahra to his car, and even opens the door for the girl. Ardi rushed to the driver's door and got into the car. When he was about to drive his car, Ardi told Zahra to put on his seat belt.
Ardi saw the girl was so difficult when putting the seatbelt, he then leaned closer to the girl, at this time his face was only a few cm away from Zahra's face.
Both of Zahra's eyes were rounded instantly as the distance of her face was too close to Ardi's. Ardi stared fixedly at the pretty face of the girl, the girl's eyes reminded him of someone. Without Ardi knowing himself calling Kay's name.
Zahra pushes Ardi's body, “what are you doing!” yells.
Ardi flinched, he came to his senses from his reverie that was lulled in Zahra's eyes. That look was the same as Kay's eyes, “m—sorry, I didn't mean to. I just wanted to help you put on your seat belt. I'm sorry,” he said sorry.
Zahra was finally able to button the seat belt, she then looked towards Ardi, “who are you, do you know me? Do we know each other?” tanyanya.
