Labuhan Cinta The Playboy

S2 - No More than Friends

...🍁🍁🍁...

"Let me be like this for a moment." whispered Zayn softly.

Visha could not refuse. He just silently received a hug from Zayn. He can feel if Zayn really hopes if his feelings can be reciprocated one day.

Zayn took off his embrace then turned around and went inside his room. Visha just stared at Zayn's back.

Visha sighed. "I'm sorry I had to say that to you. Because I don't want to hurt you. I can't go any further than this. We can't be more than friends" said Visha before she entered her room.

The next day, the two of them returned to Semarang. Zayn was still silent on Visha. Visha did not want to talk too much in front of Zayn.

Let time heal the wounds in Zayn's heart.

...***...

Visha gets word that the task has finally been completed and she could be on graduation soon. He was so happy that he graduated too.

He was crying when his mother and father embraced him. He should have taken this diploma seven years ago. But there are many things that he has experienced during these nine years.

There were a lot of lessons he learned from everything that happened. Pain and love, all melted into one.

A few months have passed since he got his title of architect. It works harder than usual.

The relationship and Zayn had melted like an iceberg exposed to heat. They're good friends now.

Zayn understands Visha's attitude to keep her distance from the man who tried to approach her.

It is not easy to forget the person who once lay in our hearts. Zayn began to understand that.

"Sha, a friend of mine is going to open a branch in this city, he wants to leave the construction project to our company. Hows it? You ready?"

"of course. If I may know, what kind of concept does he like?"

"There are some pictures of some branch offices that have been built so far. I leave it all to you, whether you're going to follow the same sketch or you're going to innovate with something new."

Visha nodded. "alright, Sir. I'll learn first. Take it easy, I won't disappoint you."

"I know."

"I'm sorry, sir."

"Sha!"

"Yes, sir."

"Lunch together?"

Visha smile. "Yes, you're the one who bought it, right?"

"Curtain, you're this..."

"If my sketches are approved, then I will treat you. How's it?"

"Okay, deal!!"

"Oh yeah, about when are we going to meet with their side?"

"It's probably about three more days."

"Okay, I'm sorry."

Zayn nodded.

...***...

"Lately Papa's health has declined. Take a break, don't push yourself too much to take care of the company. Isn't there already a Galang who handles everything?"

"Galang also has to take care of his own company. Papa should still be in the office even if only a few hours. Don't put it all on him. He also has to take care of himself. Especially about the problem of the soul mate."

"Huh! That kid's so hard, Pa. Mama has introduced her friend's son to her several times. But nothing worked. Mama gave up!"

"We need to be patient. He still seems to be expecting Visha. But Visha can't forget Rocky."

"The charm of our son is very attached to his heart yes, Pa."

"Who used to dong his papa!"

"Well, is Papa narcissistic? My mother gave birth to him."

"Yes yes. May she be happy there, Ma."

"Yes, Pa. Yes, it's taking the medicine first. Don't mind too much, Pa."

"Thank you, Ma."

And that's how married couples talk for decades in the afternoon today.

Galang who had heard everything did not want to disturb their chatter.

"Mas Galang heard for himself, right, Mama and Papa Mas Galang want Mas to get married soon. Try to find a good woman and get married." Bi Iroh chimed in.

It's just a head shake.

"Indeed finding a wife is as easy as buying fried tofu? If it was that easy, I would have gotten it before."

"Just pray, Bi. Already yes, I have to get to the office again."

"Lho's? Didn't see papa and mama just yet, did you?"

"No. The important thing is I know Papa's okay. I heard from his secretary that he said he complained of pain in his chest, so I came to check on him."

"Yes already. Mas Galang be careful on the road ya."

"Yes, bi."

...***...

"Bee, how long have you been in Semarang?" asked Sania while tidying Bian's clothes into the bag.

"Eitherway. Maybe about three days. Wh why? Can you take care of business here?"

"of course! Don't worry about the company. I'm used to handling everything."

"alright. I'm leaving now. Reza will come with me. So don't worry too much."

"Yes, I've already ordered him about anything you can eat while there."

"I'll say goodbye to Alisa first."

"Yes, he was very sad because his father had left him."

"Alisa...! Papa's son..." Bian spread his arms welcoming the warm embrace of his little daughter.

"Papa...!!! Where's papa going? How about a big bag?"

"Honey, Papa's got a little business out of town. You are here with Mama. Can't be fussy. Understood?"

"Yes, Pa. But Alisa's home is bought a toy for Pa." said Alisa funny.

"Yes, Papa will buy it. Papa go first."

"Bye, honey..." Sania kissed her husband's cheek.

...***...

At eight o'clock in the morning, Zayn was pacing back and forth indistinctly because his best employees still had not revealed his nose.

"Sir, is Visha not here yet?" ask Lala.

"Yes. Why is he always late if there's an important meeting like this?"

"That's exactly his luck, sir. You just calm down. He'll be right on time. The client hasn't come yet, has he?"

The phone in Zayn's room rang. He lifted. It was a call from the security downstairs saying that the important guest had already arrived.

"They're coming, La."

"Huh?! Then I'll call Visha." Lala immediately ran to her desk and grabbed her phone.

As usual, Visha did not pick up the call on her phone. He was asking Ojol's brother to advance his motorcycle faster.

Meanwhile, Zayn and his client were waiting in the meeting room. Zayn as much as possible invites clients to have a casual conversation first, because considering he is an old friend of Zayn.

Lala waits for Visha's arrival in the office lobby. And when Visha finally comes with her ojol, Lala immediately runs to help Visha.

"Sha, just habit. At important meetings you're always late." lala said.

"It's not my fault, La. Who told you to meet so early."

"They were waiting in the meeting room. Good luck to you!" Lala hugged Visha.

Visha came in after knocking on the door. Zayn smiled broadly at Visha's arrival. Visha instantly positioned herself in front of the projector screen.

Visha explained about the concept she had created. Zayn was astonished that his concept was different from the one he had once modeled on Visha.

NGIIIIIIIINNGGGGGGG

NGIIIIIIINNGGGGG

A buzzing sound in Zayn's client's ear is none other than Bian. Bian suddenly felt his head hurt when he heard the presentation from Visha.

Visha, who finds her client in pain, is suddenly confused and stops her presentation when Bian's body has collapsed.
