Double-role

CHAPTER 86 (Season 2)

The king of noon was sitting comfortably on his throne, the light of the sun shining on the earth along with the warmth. Occasionally a cold wind comes flying a rage that is increasingly attacking. Disbursement of sea waves continue to hit the rock to provide a natural flow to accompany the meeting.

The clock has shown at half-time, people from various regions continue to arrive at the Alina cake shop named Carnation.

The owner was so busy entertaining visitors who bought his homemade cake. Zara also intervened to help him manage the store.

A few moments later, the activity slowly dampened. Zara who had been handling it was now given a pause by Alina. The woman came with three cold drinks and some cakes for two men who were monitoring their activities.

"I did not expect this busy Alina store, sorry to ignore you," he said regretfully, "this is from Alina as a form of apology," continued Zara put the food she brought.

"It's okay, I'm happy to see him busy and don't be so formal, we're not at work. Think of us as your friends" Zaidan said, then pointed a straw at his mouth.

"Alright," answered Zara who was sitting before them.

"I don't understand why you want to help him?" The question made Zara and Zaidan stare fixedly at the speaker.

"You must understand, Dimas. I don't know why I got this far either. When I first met Alina, my attention was immediately drawn to her. Of course I know myself, because he's married. I also went crazy and thought about taking it from a husband who never appreciated it" Zaidan said.

Zara did not expect and immediately also choked on her own drink. Dimas directly stuck out a sheet of tissue on her.

"Thank you" said Zara and then looked at the great master.

"W-did I not hear wrong? Want to take her from her husband? Wait, was my feeling wrong? So all this time Mas Zaidan has been finding out about Alina? When did you meet?" Zara kept showering him with questions.

Zaidan laughed happily and looked at Alina again who was serving customers at the cashier table. "Firsatmu may be right. The first time I met Alina was in the lobby of her husband's company. At that time I thought he was not married, but in fact he had been a second wife even combined again? I don't understand her husband's way of thinking." He also put a piece of blueberry-flavored cake into the mouth and immediately expanded the manic.

"Alina's wedding didn't go well. She's always been wasted by her husband, women as good as that are still hurting, let alone me?" said Zara who also ate the sweet food.

"You're also an amazing woman, already enduring being a single mother." Dimas came back to talk.

Zara looked at him while widening her gaze. Zaidan only smiled briefly seeing them take turns.

Not long ago, visitors began to decrease and Alina returned to see her guests. He sat down next to Zara and drank the drink she was carrying.

"Thank God, I can't believe today's visitors are enslaved. Thank God, God," he said slowly.

"Oh yeah, I'm sorry for ignoring you two. As an apology what if I make you guys dinner?" he continued, looking at the two men in front of him.

"No need to be formal, consider us your friends, Alina. I agree ... I also want to taste your cooking," Zaidan replied quickly while saying the same thing.

The two people there looked at each other and threw smiles. Dimas had not expected to see his little master change drastically.

He who had been with Zaidan in his teens knew his habits and desires. However, only this time did he witness a warm glare of eyes while staring at someone.

"alright. Em, Mas Dimas I'm begging for help. Hopefully I can be free from him," said Alina, indifferently enjoying her cold drink back, while the three people were silent looking at him.

"Em, I'll do my best" Dimas replied as he fixed his glasses.

"It's far more than sure."

"Why?"

One word inviting thousands of answers made the three look back at Alina. The black-hijab woman looked straight ahead where the ocean was again in focus.

The waves rolling together soaked the white sand removing every footprint. The beautiful curled lips poured an uncomfortable feeling into the heart of a Zaidan.

"Just like the waves that come crashing on the rock, being overwritten continuously will definitely give a change. Similarly, when the waves sweep the beach lips remove the trail and restore its condition intact as before. Although it does not cover the fact that the sand was ever stepped on, but the sea water can eliminate it."

"Maybe that's how it feels. I want to erase all traces of the past and restore it like all, well even though the past cannot be erased, but covering it up can be done."

Word for word emanated from the cleft lip of Alina made them aware if one could change over time. Women who have been hurt many times will make a difference and make it strong.

"I ... really admire you, Alina. Thank you for surviving this long, I-"

"Sir." Dimas clutched his wrist firmly. The owner also turned his head by linking the two sharp eyebrows.

Dimas then shook his head several times which Zaidan understood. "Well, the point is I'll help you" he continued.

Alina who was already dumbfounded returned giving an awkward smile. He was shocked when he heard Zaidan's confession just now.

"Then I will prepare the ingredients for dinner later." Alina hurriedly left from there.

"I'll help you." Zara followed him and left the two men again.

After their departure, Zaidan let out a rough sigh. He rubbed his angry face and linked his hands on the table and leaned his forehead there.

"Thank you for preventing me. I know it's too soon .. I know he must be traumatized and not receptive to a new one" he said slowly.

"Em Master finally understood. It is not easy for someone who has been hurt many times to be able to believe again. It will take time and proof that the new one will not be the same" Dimas replied with his flat face.

"You're right." Zaidan raised his head and looked straight ahead. "I must fight and convince him."

Dimas looked at the master and saw the confidence in his eyes. "It's the first time I've seen you want someone."

"How else, he's the first person to wake me up if .. the error is there to be corrected. His words that night penetrated my heart and made me want to change from my mistakes" Zaidan said.

Dimas just nodded slowly and remembered the times they had been through. As someone who grew up with him, he understood the attitude and nature of his young master.

"There have been many masters doing things at will no matter what. That path is not right, I'm sure Alina can change it for the better" he thought later.
