Life is Dead

Alex lays Zahra in the back, then drives her car very fast to the nearest hospital.

"Mas, I feel that I am no longer strong, is my death imminent?" zahra said in a weak tone of voice as she could no longer give much energy to speak.

"Zahra, Adek, be patient!"

With lightning fast Alex drove his car until they arrived at the hospital within five minutes, even though for normal speed the distance to the hospital can take ten minutes.

Alex opens the car door, carries Zahra's body and takes the beautiful woman out of the car to the hospital lobby.

"Suster, Doctor, help my sister, she fell off the bike and right now her whole body feels really sick" Alex told the passing nurse.

Surprisingly, no one helped Zahra and Alex.

"Zahra, you have to hold on!" said Alex with a face that is currently full of sweat because he looks tired, tired and afraid.

"Alex, I-I really can't take it anymore.

Zahra's eyes were no longer able to light up, until his weak hands felt weaker, until the eyes were finally closed.

"Morochen ...!

Zahra heard Alex's voice calling out her name with great worry, even before she closed her beautiful eyes, Zahra saw Alex's face looked very panicked, he was afraid that something bad might happen to Zahra or perhaps he was afraid of losing Zahra.

It felt like Zahra did not want to close her eyes because Zahra did not want to make Alex worry about her, but whatever the power of the girl, Zahra was no longer powerful to keep her eyes open.

"Zahra, wakeup! I can't see you lying weakly in this helpless state" Alex said in a whining tone.

'I have to get up, I don't want to worry Alex.'

Zahra hears Alex worrying about her and she gathers her spirit and courage to open her eyes. Zahra wanted to get up and look Alex in the eye, telling him that the handsome man should not cry just because of him.

"Al-Alex" said Zahra in a stammering tone, but still very weak.

Right now Zahra's mouth can speak while this eye feels very difficult to open. But a fierce desire to open his eyes made Zahra finally succeed.

Slowly, Zahra opened her eyes, but strangely Zahra did not know the room she was in, it was not her house nor her room.

'Where am I really?' reveal Zahra inwardly with a million questions that come to mind. However, suddenly this eyeball looked towards the figure of a handsome man who was currently crying while clasping his hand, even occasionally Zahra felt Alex kiss his palm.

Yes, for a moment Zahra just kept quiet and continued to pay attention to the man in front of her. Alex kept his head down and kissed Zahra's hand while asking the woman to wake up, even so sad he, the tears of the man fell over the back of Zahra's hand.

"Alex."

With a gentle greeting, Zahra tried to call the name of the handsome man to make sure that he was not dreaming at this time, because Alex is actually a cool man who will never act more than to cry for a creature named woman but now tears flow down Alex's cheeks and the woman he cries it's Zahra.

"Alex."

Gently, Zahra stroked Alex's hair. He begins to feel the sincerity and tenderness of Alex's heart for himself. Zahra felt very grateful because in the most difficult moments like this Alex came to him to comfort the beautiful girl. Alex has always been next to Zahra, although sometimes his presence makes Zahra upset.

"Za-Zahra, are you awake?"

Alex immediately raised his face, he stood up to make sure that Zahra was conscious from her sleep. Sleep exhausting with a million thoughts.

"Mas, where are we?"

Zahra knew very well that Alex was worried about him because everything was clearly visible on the handsome face of the man, but Zahra did not want to make Alex worry about him any more, so Zahra tried to find a good topic to divert the conversation between them.

"We are now in the hospital, you passed out and the Doctor said that you seem to be lacking rest until you fall off the bike but luckily nothing happened to your body," it was clearly Alex who Zahra kept an eye on.

Since the matchmaking incident, every second of Zahra's nights felt like day, he could not even sleep for a moment, even the sleeping pills he ended up taking were unable to make the beautiful girl fall asleep.

Zahra instead of fighting the rations of her eyes and her whole body to rest, the girl even tried to shut her eyes forcibly, but even though these eyes were closed but this heart remained awake, Zahra was aware of the many burdens of thought that she bore in her mind. A burden that he could not complete at all, something beyond his control and beyond his means as a human being.

"Ara, aren't you sleeping? Are you thinking about your engagement?"

Alex begins the conversation, trying to figure out and guess what happened to the woman he considers his sister. However, Alex will not get any answers because when communicating with Alex, Zahra always lies to him. Yes, Zahra always said that he would sleep and sleep, but in reality these eyes lit up until morning, with a million bebens swirling around in his head.

"Geek, why dumb? Don't you sleep at night?" ask Alex again.

"Sorry, Mum, I-I,"

It felt like Zahra couldn't go on, it was too hard to tell Alex about all the problems and problems of life he was dealing with, but Alex was a very understanding man, he knew so well without getting an answer from the girl in front of him.

"Ara, have I not said that you should not think beyond your means, just walk and pray God, for God is the best helper for us, Dek."

Yes, everything that happens in human life is a destiny and a decree that has been set by God, good or bad will still give a lesson to humans. If what is desired is in accordance with what is expected then God is teaching His servant to be grateful, but if what is received is not as expected, it means that God is giving lessons to His servant. Indeed, if God's plan is best for His servant.

"I can't take it anymore, Mom!"
