Trapped by the Love of Leaning
Bonchap #6

"What is serious?" lisa asked carefully, awkwardly instead of playing face to face with Athar this time.

"Why?" ask Athar.

"Mas must be kidding, right?" ask Lisa again.

"About liking you?"

"Emmh, yes!"

"I'm serious!"

Lisa took a step back, a thing she never thought of, and she could not even believe what she had just heard.

Athar smiled sweetly at her, making it even harder for Lisa to condition her heart.

No, don't faint yet, don't...

"You're beautiful! Who doesn't like, not just me, maybe there are so many guys out there who like you" Athar said.

A smile that had just risen from Lisa's lips, suddenly had to set again, Ahhh... But once her mouth was, Lisa's mind cried out.

...#######...

"What's wrong?" ask Zalin. This morning, he was summoned to his employer, his ailing Mother and Father who were already present in the room, and there were also some people whom Zalin felt really unfamiliar with. Zalin really didn't understand what was happening.

"Sit down!" decreed Zalfa.

Zalin sat some distance away, but Zalfa told him to sit next to Afik, his master's son whom he had met at the cafe where he worked.

"Guilina!" his Dad Afik.

"Yes Sir!" zalin Sahut.

"Perhaps, you're still wondering, what you called here, as you can see, here is your mother and also your father, sorry we had to involve them, please, especially your father who is currently sick, but he seems so excited to hear this testimony" said his father Afik began his conversation.

Zalin smiled awkwardly, he glanced at some people he did not know, there were two women who had cried, like strengthening each other.

"I also don't know how to start this word..."

"Well!" Afik held his father's hand, saying, if his father is not strong, let him speak. However, his father tried to strengthen his heart again, this is happy news, it should not be difficult.

"You, Zalinda, your real name isn't just Zalinda." His father Afik, beckoned to his father Zalin to tell him the truth. Even in pain Zalin's father asked that he alone tell the truth, the man felt he had to take responsibility.

"Dad? What's that supposed?" zalin asked the father who was lying weak.

"Bring my son, no matter what happens, you're still our son, forgive Daddy Nak who couldn't give you a decent life all this time, even I feel like Dad's been bothering you so much..."

"Dad, why say that?" cut off Zalin, he doesn't like his father saying that.

While his mother, Bi Adin, had her tears flowing, the woman was not strong and had been crying as hard. Making Zalin even more clueless about the situation.

"Actually, you're not Father and Mother's son!" his father Zalin said.

Silent,

Zalin tried to neutralize what he had just heard, wanting to take it all as a joke but it felt inappropriate.

"What does that mean?" ask Zalin again.

"There, behold, it is your real family." the already weak hands were trying to point at some unknown person by Zalin, the two middle-aged women who had hugged each other earlier, and the, Zalin saw her shedding tears.

"You're our daughter, son, you're our Zalin" said the middle-aged man, whose father is Afik, Zalin also did not know the man.

Zalin could only stare at everyone in the room in confusion, what did he mean, why joke about this kind of thing his mind grumbled.

"Mother, try to explain what happened." pinta Zalin urged her mother who was already crying.

"Son, did you ever see a picture of yourself as a baby? How was Mom telling you about giving birth? I'm so grateful that Zalin never asked. But, during that time also Mother always beware of fear, because Mother has absolutely no memories for it." replied Bi Adin.

"Mother..." Zalin realized, he never asked that after all these years.

He lived as usual, his parents were not people, and after all his mother and father loved him very much, for him it was enough, and somehow he never wondered how his childhood was.

"Zalin, believe in Mom, I love you very much, son, even though Zalin is not Mom's real daughter. Mom and Dad loved Zalin so much."

"Mother..."

There was no crying, to be honest, all Zalin felt right now was confusion, and not understanding, who he had to believe in, and even if the real reality was like that, how the story really was.

"His nickname is Zalin, you are the only child of my best friend, Darmawan Adijaya and his wife Laura Saraswati, whose body has not been found since the Singapore plane crash ten years ago."

"This Beautiful Aunt, Zalin, when Zalin was a baby, this Beautiful Aunt who always took care of you, Zalin does not remember?" asked one of the women who hugged earlier, she was her sister Laura, the original Lady of Zalin, it was true that she said, when Zalin was a baby, Indah Saraswati was so full name, so her name was, he was still in high school at the time. When she found out that Laura was going to give birth, Laura, who at that time did not want to use the services of a baby sitter, told her to stay together so that she could help her in caring for Zalinda, and she did not mind.

Zalin shook his head slowly, for whatever sake he really did not remember.

"This is Aunt Lia dear, her sister is your mother" said the other woman, whose full name is Rillia Saraswati, the eldest sister of Laura.

It is inconceivable how surprised, how necessary both of them when they heard the news from his father Afik that Zalin they were suddenly found. Wanting to cry, and already they did, it felt like tears would not be able to pay for all their happiness.

Again and again, Zalin shook his head slowly, not to disappoint himself, but really he did not remember.

"What, is this true?" ask Zalin to everyone.

Zalin turned his head towards his father, the old man nodded, then his mother, and just as his mother nodded, he saw the faces of everyone who seemed to agree with this situation.

Braaakkk, by far,

Zalin fell, his gaze darkened, his legs suddenly unable to support his weight, so he fell inevitable.

"Curlin!" afik exclaimed, seeing his woman faint before him and already drooping down, "White wood oil, quickly get it! HURRY UP!!!" pekik's panicking.

Everyone saw that, seeing such great love in the eyes of Muhammad Al-Fikram, what else Zalfa, he really knew how Afik felt about Zalin, he said, not even a single woman had managed to get close to her son Afik, because Zalin's shadow was still so real to her son.

Afik is someone who always thinks that Zalin is alive, and at this time, God answers his prayers, Zalinnya really still alive.

...#########...

"Lo!" Zalin spontaneously screeched when he saw Afik waiting for him in a room.

"Wake up?" asked Afik, the young man with his signature slenge suddenly turned serious.

"What exactly is going on, they're joking right, does your family like to play drama?" zalin asked half-whispered to Afik.

Afik curled his lips, staring anxiously at this tomboyish-looking girl before him. Zalinnya was so feminine when she last saw him at the age of eight.

"Why?" ask Zalin.

"They're not joking, you're the daughter of a rich family, her son Mr. Darmawan, and lucky you're my fiance" Afik said confidently.

"HUHH?" just like Afik's expected response, Zalin would definitely be surprised if he said that.

"Lo's kidding? Not yet digested all their talk in the room earlier, you already want me with silly words lo it, fiance, you crazy huh?" zalin Ogat.

"Crazy? Crazy what? I just tell you the information that is missing about the truth, they were saying important information for you, but menggelupain one thing because you have fainted first, but, so I have to say it directly outside of the event, right." Afik smiled with the twinkling of his eyes, while raising his eyebrows, with confidence was very high.

Zalin glared, O God what other reality this inner Zalin cried out furiously.

"Curlin!" exclamation Afik.

Zalin looked at Afik in disbelief, oh God why suddenly his life became full of drama like this. 'My family is not my family', 'It turns out I'm a rich kid', 'The poor girl is my fiancee', It turns out I've been betrothed!'. So many titles of novels on online platforms that he often visited for entertainment reading in his spare time suddenly imprinted on his brain, funny, ah not more precisely crazy, crazy, why is his life like the stories in an online novel?

"Well, marry me?" afik said his intention.

"What?" shocked Zalin.

Afik sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Zalin once more, "Well yuk?" reworked.

"Huh? Lo crazy, kidding me? Not funny!"

"Yesterday, when I saw you for the first time at the cafe kak Shirleen, I immediately had a feeling about yourself, I just did not have any evidence to reveal everything, and yesterday you came alone, may I think all this is not a coincidence, God must have realized my prayers, who believe that you are really still alive" said Afik, said, he was serious about his words.

Zalin fell silent, is it true as soon as that happened.

"I'm really happy about this fact, and I don't want to lose you a second time. If according to you, what is happening now is so difficult for you to digest, do not need to be imposed, but I beg you to be able to consider my application, simply... You can, let's just say I fell in love at first sight!"

"Zalin, look at me, I... Seriously, I'm not going to try to be disappointed." Afik knelt before Zalin, his hand took out a ring in his pocket, "Well yuk!" bring again.
