The Estuary of Zalina Love
Chapter 34 The Honesty of Zalina on Aldo

A sunny morning with soothing sunlight slipped in Zalina's room ventilation pants. Feeling much better than in previous days, Zalina was determined not to make the people around her sad, especially Nema.

After breakfast Zalina headed to the back of the house to enjoy the rustling of water from the koi fish pond at his home. It had been a long time since he had sat down like this, enjoying the solitude of the silence. For a long time he sat there, until he did not realize how long he had been staring at the fish swimming in the pond.

"Mama cariin in the room does not exist, it turns out you are here" said Cindy disperse daydream Zalina.

"What's up, Ma?"

"Ahead there, Son Aldo. Meet Nak! last night you didn't see him, he seemed to be worried about you, like him."

Zalina bit her lower lip, trying to brace herself so she could meet Aldo. Zalina stood up from her seat and immediately met Aldo who was waiting for her in the living room.

"Sir Aldo ... "

"Zalina, how are you?" aldo asked with a sweet smile.

"Alhamdulillah, much better Brother. Brother Aldo How are you?"

"It's getting better after seeing you."

Aldo's words successfully make Zalina wrong.

"Why does Aldo still want to see me? is sister il-feel after knowing my situation?" asked Zalina who made Aldo's forehead wrinkled.

"You mean? what's wrong with you, Zalina? why do I have to il-feel?" Aldo asked back.

"I-i ... "

Zalina did not know what to say, but she did not know what to say to Aldo.

"Lin, whatever happened yesterday to you, it wasn't your fault or your will. You don't have to worry because I don't feel for you, which you should know, my feelings are still the same Zalina. I wish I could be lawful to you Lin, so that I could take care of you."

"Thank you, Brother. Thank you for all the kindness my sister has been through all this time, thank you also for the sincere feelings that you gave me. I really don't want to hurt you, but I don't want to lie to you either by pretending to accept you. Zalina please! forget Zalina, Brother! because I'm sure there will be women better than me who deserve people as good as big brothers. My feelings are only limited to friends and sisters to Kak Aldo," said Zalina.

What Zalina said succeeded in breaking Aldo's heart into pieces, although Zalina had often rejected him somehow Zalina's rejection this time so broke him. does Aldo hate Zalina? certainly not, because his love is sincere. Disappointed? sure, but he's sure things will get better soon.

"Tomorrow, I'll go with my mom to Jakarta, sister. I don't know when to return. Therefore, forgive me brother. Sorry if you hurt your brother's heart and feelings" said Zalina sincerely.

Aldo rubbed his face, taking a slow breath.

"Alright, may you be happy in the future Zalina, if you don't mind, we can still be friends right?"

"Sure, Brother!" zalina smiled.

Aldo was ready to go home and Zalina drove him to the front. When he reached the yard, a BMW 320i sedan entered and parked next to Aldo's car. Zalina recognized the car that came, because several times she had sat in it.

Someone got out of the car. Zalina frowned seeing that the person who came down was right as she expected.

"Sir Akbar?" muttered Aldo slowly.

God walked up to Zalina bravely, no one would have thought that the handsome and dashing man would touch the number 40. Her clean skin, white, tall body, well-fitted to her career as a police officer, and her face sculptured perfectly for having a sharp nose.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said Dewa.

"Waalaikum greetings" Aldo and Zalina answered simultaneously.

"Did my arrival bother you two? if so, next time I come back here again," asked God flatly.

"Oh .. not at all, Mr. Akbar. I happen to be going home too. Zalina, then excuse me, Assalamu'alaikum" Aldo said.

"Waalaikum greetings" replied Zalina.

Aldo headed to his car, accidentally his eyes looked into the car of God whose window was lowered, he could see a bouquet of flowers and paper bag. Aldo looked briefly at Zalina and the Gods. Zalina only smiled faintly at Aldo, while the God with his flat face.

Aldo got in the car and drove his car away from Zalina's residence.

"Please come in, Lord!" zalina.

"How are you?"

"Thank God, I'm sorry I just got to visit now, I'm afraid to interrupt your break.

"It's okay, sir. I also want to thank you for saving me, Nema told me everything, and also my situation at the beginning of the hospital, Sorry ... Sir, it's been troublesome Father, sorry also if my attitude at that time made you uncomfortable," said Zalina lowered her head.

"Hmm .. there's no need to apologize because you're not wrong. I just hope you stay strong and live your days like you used to. Do you know what? The trauma and fear in a person occurs because he always remembers it and does not want to make peace with himself, always blaming himself, always afraid of something similar to happen again. In fact, think about things that are not necessarily happening. Whereas in every person there is the power to be able to fight against circumstances that are not liked by his heart and feelings, it's just that he does not realize because he continues to focus on blaming himself and regretting the situation."

"I want to tell a story, there used to be someone who lived a marriage, a marriage that was dreamed of by two people who love each other, they married so happily, they were married, but the marriage did not last even 24 hours, for they were separated forever, partings that could never return, for they were separated by death."

Zalina continued to listen to the story of the God intently.

"Death caused by the man who had titled her husband, because of his carelessness, because of his carelessness and because the man did not listen to the words of his wife, his beloved lover. They were in an accident, the car driven by the man hit the road barrier, bounced far and upside down, so that claimed the life of the woman. simply because of his carelessness is to reply to messages on his phone while driving."

"Repent? of course, he deeply regretted the situation, he regretted his stupidity, regretted his mistake. Even his wife's family blamed him, threw him in jail for his negligence.What did the man feel? Prolonged guilt, regret, fear, trauma. But, one day some sense it can be resisted so that he can rise up and face the world."

The god took a slow breath, ending the story. Zalina was stunned to hear the story of the Gods, not expecting that there would be such a story in real life.

"Huffttt .. do you want to know, who is the character in the story I told you?" ask Aldo.

Zalina tidk nodded and also did not shake her head, she was only confused what to react.if nodding means she enjoys the story of the gods, if she shook her head she was curious, unconsciously nodded her head but her lips said no.

"Upss.sorry, sir" said Zalina shut her mouth.

The God smiled at Zalina's behavior. "That person is me."

"AH!!" Zalina was shocked to hear Akbar's statement, so she unconsciously opened her mouth wide.

"**but why did you tell me?" ask Zalina.

"I'm just giving you a picture, even if our problems are different, I want you to be able to take lessons from my story, if the fear and trauma that you can go through and you fight by yourself."

"Ooo, that. But if you are no longer traumatized why are you still widower? upss," Zalina turned her head to the side and smacked her lips inquiring. "Jeez this is the mouth, why the brakes can be blong," said Zalina lirih almost inaudible.

The smiling god looked at the plain and thinly clasped demeanor of Zalina. "Ck .. yes, then I went back first, I just want to see your situation, it turns out you are much healthier than I thought,"

Zalina scratched her non-itchy temple. "Thank you, sir's presence" said Zalina.

Zalina took the gods to her car. When God enters the car and Zalina wants to enter the house, God calls Zalina.

"Zalina, wait!" dewa.

Zalina stopped her steps and turned around. The god got out of his car and turned around and opened the back door to pick up a bouquet of flowers and a paper bag.

"This is for you, actually want love just now when it comes, because there is only one I worry your friend who wanted it anyway, so I paused to give earlier."

Zalina smiled hearing the God's cliche reason, which she thought was absurd. "Father can, my friend was a man, sir, yes you want to ask for flowers too. Besides he is not a child who wants to wrestle lollipops, Mr. hehehe," replied Zalina with a grin.

The misbehaving god only rubbed his nape.

"Eh, wait .. wait, this flower is the same flower that I received last night and the other day came home from RS, meaning the sender of the bungan who was previously Mr? huh uh?" ask Zalina.

"Maybe .." replied the God flatly and immediately entered his car and sat behind the wheel. "Then I say yes."

"Eh, Yes Sir. Thank you sir," Zalina exclaimed as she lifted up her bouquet of flowers and paper bag.

After the god left Zalina's house, he immediately entered the house, and headed to the dining room to see the contents of the paper bag with the food logo. It turned out to be chocolate ice cream and its favorite soursop juice. Zalina put it in the freezer so that the ice cream freezes again and can be enjoyed later.

"So, it turns out that the secret admirer of the mother's daughter was the one before? it's cute, but I think it's over?" asked Cindy who was suddenly present behind Zalina.

"Ih mama .. ngagetin aja, just support for Zalina to recover quickly mama, he cooperated with our store," replied Zalina.

"The time is ... I don't think so," said Cindy who passed to the kitchen.

"I mean mama?" ask Zalina who failed to understand the meaning of her mother's words.

Cindy who walked in smiled unbeknownst to Zalina, because she knew that her daughter was unaware of it.
