(Melody) Trapped Charming Doctor Handsome

The Part 16

As he said this morning, now Zafri and Melody are in the restaurant in a private room. Their lunch menu was neatly set on the table.

Zafri wiped the corner of his mouth using a tissue as he had finished his lunch. And Melody too.

"I have a question for you." Zafri told Melody.

"What?" melody asked looking at Zafri who was sitting before her.

"Man last night. I mean, do you know him?"

Melody closed her mouth. Honestly, now he is confused about where to start. Because the story is very long. Maybe when Melody told me, Zafri wouldn't understand.

"What is that really..your future husband?" ask Zafri.

Melody just silently neither nodded nor shook her head. A moment later, however, he hesitated. "But I don't accept it." she quickly continued.

Zafri was lethargic, he leaned his back against the back of the chair. It turns out that what the man said was true. The foreign man she battered was Melody's future husband.

"I was originally set up. It was a long time ago." continued Melody made Zafri raise his head to look at Melody's face. I hope the woman explains it soon.

"My relationship with my mother is not okay. Either I'm selfish here or he's. The point is I don't like him pushing his will too much."

"From childhood I loved singing. Even in my school days, I used to take part in singing competitions at school. I used to take vocal art classes without my mother's knowledge. It didn't last long until high school when my mom knew everything. He's very angry. I even stopped taking vocal art classes because of it. All my activities are restricted. From school to school, I have to be taken care of by his men."

"After graduating from school, all my activities were completely restricted. I wasn't even allowed to leave the house for a year. I just kept myself locked in my room. I try to keep myself busy by writing a song. At first I was happy because as long as I was at home, I could express myself with my hobby. But, one time my mother came into my room while I was making up a song that I wrote on a piece of paper. He came and quickly took my paper and tore it apart."

"I'm mad. Since then, my relationship with my mother has become more complicated. Until one day I was really fed up with it. He brought a man he recognized as my future husband. At first I tried to make peace with him. But, the nature of the man she introduced me to made me feel uneasy."

"The next night I tried to open a conversation with my mother. I tried to melt her heart and asked her permission to let me into the entertainment world. But, the answer was beyond my expectations. He was angry and even wanted to hasten my marriage."

"I'm really fed up with his nature. At night, I went out to escape. I wish my mom would never find me. I'm rattled. I'm walking in no direction. I didn't even bring a penny. Until I met Liona. He was the first to help me and give me a place to live."

Melody took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Since then we fought together. For years to get to the point now. And I don't regret my decision yet" Melody said at last.

Zafri even made to fall asleep. The man salutes Melody, about her life and her struggles. How lucky Zafri is to have both parents who are very loving and always understand him.

"Honestly, I admit everything about you is great. For that matter, I didn't want to respond because I was afraid that if I was in your position I wasn't sure I would be able to get to the point now."

Melody chuckled softly. "Don't dramatize. Just live the life now. Don't ever look back because it's going to be very painful because it's the same as us opening old wounds."

Zafri nodded his head. "I have another question for you. No offense."

"Depends." Melody replied.

"You had a fight with my mother. Then, father? Does he not forbid or break up?" ask Zafri carefully.

"My parents have been divorced since I was in elementary school" Melody replied casually.

Zafri was silent for quite a while as he was deeply concerned about Melody's gloomy past. The woman struggled alone and against all the problems she faced.

Melody nodded her head. "Yes. He's been obsessed with me since he first met. He is obsessed with my body. Last night, was my meeting with him after all this time we didn't meet. Maybe I should be more careful because he knows where I live now."

Zafri immediately choked. Melody is now in danger as the man comes back to get her back.

"Where are you going to live?"

"Emmm.I might be able to stay at Liona's apartment for the next few days. Once it's safe, I'll be back home."

"Don't!" zafri said quickly.

"Why?" tanya Melody raised next to her eyebrows.

Zafri. "-I mean you better move in so that guy can't find you anymore."

"just free. He has a lot of spies. As long as he's here, maybe my life will always be watched. And we'd better not see each other again." Melody was forced to decide that. Because honestly, the problem does not only affect him. However, it's possible that the matter had an impact on Zafri's life. Melody simply did not want to drag others into her unusual life.

"W-what!?" zafri's jolt was surprised, his eyeballs slightly widened.

Melody looked at the man with a strange look. "Maybe this is our last meeting. I hope you can understand that. Thank you for all your time and all your kindness. And thank you for getting to know me. Let's just say we never met."

"I'm not-" Zafri's breath choked. Was that their meeting? Zafri is eager to carve out more memories. However, Zafri was aware of who he was. He's just an ordinary guy.

"You should be able to, Zafri. Thanks for the time. I'll be right away. You take care of your health, bye." Melody quickly picked up her bag and immediately moved from there.

Zafri was just stunned in disbelief at Melody's departure. His heart felt empty. Zafri doesn't know that.

"Darling, are you okay?" Ceisya approached her with a cup of coffee and placed it on Zafri's desk. Lately his son likes to daydream with his empty mind. One two days Ceisya still let. However, this has entered the 6th day where Zafri always spends his time in the room rather than chatting together in the family room.

"Hmmm.. I'm okay, Mam." replied Zafri realized.

"Mom thinks you're lying. You know what, boy? If Mama and Papa don't like the name lies. Enough of your sister who's been lying, you don't." said Ceisya stroked softly Zafri's shoulder.

"How's Aiyla doing? It's been three days since he's spent the night here." asked Zafri trying to divert the conversation.

Ceisya took his breath in and exhaled deeply. "Mama's actually quite confused with the two of you. The other had problems with her husband and the other one I don't know." said Ceisya.

Zafri immediately caught the hand of the mother who was still perched on his shoulder. "Will Zafri tell me. Mama don't be mad. Now, we go to Aiyla's room first. Zafri does not want Zafri's favorite sister to be mewek because of Rakha."

"good. Tomorrow afternoon you meet Rakha at his residence. Immediately ask for an explanation about the news. Mama doesn't want my youngest child to be polygamous."

"Tomorrow?" monologue Zafri. "Tomorrow Zafri has to go to the office, Ma. For too long Zafri had put the work to Dion. Kasian, he's young. Maybe also want to find a future wife" said Zafri.

"Don't think. Tomorrow you must meet Rakha. About the office, don't worry too much. Mama will talk about it with Dion. You got it, boy?"

"Yahhh, okay, Ma." replied Zafri resigned.
