Take care...

'CONGRATULATION ZEQ!' said Selena to Zeqri who successfully continued his studies at Cal State LA in the Department of Civil Engineering.

The words just came out of Selena's mouth. As if there were no direct feelings for Zeqri. But in her heart, it's like it's wasted. It hurts! Sad! But when she saw Zeqri's lazy face, as if there were no feelings, Selena's heart began to freeze. Stiff as rock water.

Zeq just smiled. Ahhh... he's smiling again! Are you teasing me? Waaaahh! If he smiling like that, I don't necessarily cry day and night missing you, you know? Ena's heart whispers.

'Thank you. I didn't expect to be accepted. Everything is the power of GOD.' He answered, humbly. 'When I gets there later and everything is settled, I will send a letter, okay?' Instantly his eyes turned to Noah and Risky who were fighting under the coconut tree Noah scolded his younger brother.

Selena adjusted her hair. It's hard for her to calm the pounding in her heart. Throbbing fast.

Alas...I'm still... in the small city and Zeq is in a modern state... Building with all kinds of amazing structure. Where is the same as in this city? If it's like this, my source of inspiration all this time, the moment of my heart, will be lost.

'Hmmm... don't say like that. You want to write a letter but after a long time, when you're busy, you'll forget me,' said Selena. For a moment, she glanced at her mother who was diligently sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard.

At once in a while, Mr. Sam, Selena's father also cleared his throat, while his hands were busy bathing his car. Selena scared. Dad, is he disliked my relationship with Zeq? Who knows, it's a sign that parents don't like the behavior of teenagers. Maybe he thought his daughter violated the proper boundaries. Ah.. the old man! Not to be frank. More allusions in treatment. Her heart whispered again.

'It's hard for me to say. But, I'm not someone who likes to break promises. We've been friends for a long time. Not for a day or two.' Zeq swallowed his saliva.

'Ena do you want me to swear?'

'I didn't say that.'

Why the heck does he need to swear? It's not that I don't believe it. Arggh... my mouth itches! Her heart fluttered.

'I study really hard, you know. I want to take SAT next year.

'If you want to continue Form 6 like me first and then apply to University, it's okay. And if you go to University after SAT, it's also fine. Hurry up and we can meet there. I can welcome you. But the condition is that you have to apply to Cal State LA.'

Salina smiled at the dumbest of Zeqri's dreams.

He want to welcome me? Greet me as...? Friend? Lover? Junior? By mistake, Zeq already had a lover at that time. Huh... who'd languishing? It'd be me! Makes my heart swell when I see it. Well, I will study at another university or just enter the Form 6. Close to home. I can see mom, dad and my siblings. Her heart kept saying.

It was easy for Selena's mouth to ask. Want to ask about their relationship status. Is it a friend? Lover? But she was shy. Not like a well looking for a bucket. By mistake, their good friendships that were made can be broken. Selena did not dare to take the risk.

Let fate decide. Not to dare if she wants to ruin the friendship that was built. After all, Selena is a girl. It's not nice to ask about that. Zeqri himself never said anything. He will not want more!

'I can't send you tomorrow,' said Selena slowly, hiding her obvious expression that looks disappointed.

'That's not important Ena. Even now, I has met you. Your prayer is enough. It's enough to accompany me.'

Zeq looked quite calm. There were no signs of sadness on the face. For a moment, she glanced at his wrist only glancing at his watch. 'It's okay Ena, I have to go back. There are more items that haven't been packed. So, remember what I just said. Study hard okay!'

Selena nodded.

'Take care... Zeq'

Zeq just smiled.

Wow... I could have a heart attack! Selena was stunned for a moment, before her lips also formed a smile. Her eyes sent Zeqri's footsteps towards her parents, greeting her mom and dad. He really inherited his father's personality.

'I go back home first uncle, aunt!'

'Alright take care. Drive slowly.' Mr. Sam gives advice. 'I, pray that you finish your studies there safely.'

'Yes, uncle. Thank you.'

'Don't forget we are here,' said Selena's mother while smiling, reminding Zeq as a young man she had known for a long time.

Zeq just nodded. He had another chance to see Selena's eyes and waved his hand at Noah and Risky before the glimpse disappeared. Suddenly Selena's heart was filled with melancholy.
