LOVE & VENGEANCE

What plan?

Edward stood up and sat down beside his son . He hugged Zayn's body and let his son cry on his shoulder . Slowly he rubbed the broad back of his son's .

" cry son so that your heart may be relieved "

After feeling that Zayn's cries were beginning to subside, Edward let go of his embrace .

" pardon me, for not accompanying you carry this burden "

" no father, I know that the burden of father is also heavy since the departure of mother "

The two looked at each other and then threw a smile at each other because their hearts were relieved to be able to share the pain of the heart .

" now I want to ask you something "

" ask dad "

" what are your feelings for Zalia now ? "

A smile graced Zayn's face before answering his father's question .

" i fell in love with her dad .

Seeing her shed tears as I snapped at her my heart that felt pain . When he has a fever it feels like I'm powerless especially when he asks me to divorce him my world feels like it's about to collapse . The pain of the mother's departure feels like it will repeat itself . I'm so scared of dad "

A tear from Zayn fell but was immediately wiped .

" apologize to her and show her that you love her "

" yes dad "

The two of them got out of there and headed to the bedroom .

Upon Zayn's arrival in his room, he finds Zalia lying down .

Zayn got on the bed and approached his wife to see if she was asleep or not .

Actually Zalia had not slept but knowing that Zayn had entered the room she closed her eyes and pretended to have fallen asleep .

There was a feeling of disappointment in her heart as it turned out that Zayn was just pretending to love her and marrying her just for revenge . But on the other hand hearing the truth that her mother was the one who had harmed Zayn's mother, she felt sad and angry . Is it true that his mother did such an evil thing ? But for what ?

And why should he bear all the mistakes that happened in the past even those events happened before he was born .

Zayn lies on the bed, slips his hand under his wife's neck and pulls Zalia's body in his arms . The other hand hugged the wife's waist . A kiss Zayn gave at the top of Zalia's head .

Sensing all that, Zalia could no longer hold back her tears .

Shortly after, Zayn realized that Zalia had not slept and was crying because Zayn's hands were soaked with tears .

Zayn got up from his position and turned Zalia over slowly . Staring at his face and getting rid of the hair that covered him .

" dear baby, are you crying ? "

Ask Zayn softly . But Zalia turned her back on her husband . The crying is getting louder .

Even his body shook because he tried to muffle his cries .

Zayn woke Zalia up so that now they were in a sitting position .

Both of Zayn's hands held Zalia's shoulders but as his wife's cry grew more heartbreaking she carried her body in her arms . The swipe on her back made Zalia slowly calm down .

Zayn took off his embrace and went to the shelf near the bed . Pull up one of the drawers and take a photo album from inside there .

Give it to Zalia .

" open up, I want to tell you something because I'm sure that you must have heard my conversation with Dad, right ? "

Zayn said after the album was in the hands of his wife .

Zalia raised her face and looked at her husband's face then started opening the album . There was the adorable face of a baby boy with his chubby cheeks in the lap of a beautiful woman and a handsome man standing behind the woman . Furthermore, there are still many handsome faces of the baby who continue to grow big . Her first birthday photo was taken there . The photos in there show how the adorable baby grew and changed until it was about twelve years old . Adorable baby into a handsome teenager .

Zaliapun observed that handsome face .

Zayn smiled as Zalia looked at him .

" i used to be so happy and included a very cheerful child . But after the death of the mother . . . . . . "

Zayn paused for a moment .

" i can't forget the woman who killed my mother and sister .

She's your mama "

Zalia was not so surprised anymore because she had heard it earlier .

" because your mother's actions have all changed . My world changed in an instant . The first four months I hadn't really felt what it was to lose because Felix's family was always by my side . There was Arden and Carlyn's mother who loved me so much but when Aretha was born automatically their attention was divided and could no longer pay attention to me as before . At that time my father was also very busy with his business affairs so that he paid less attention to me .

On the day Aretha was born there too I saw your mother in the same hospital . It turned out that day she gave birth to you . I was about to tell the others about your mama but I had no time because everything was so happy with the birth of Aretha . "

Zayn took a deep breath and exhaled slowly .

" from that day on, loneliness has continued to be my best friend and nightmares about my mother's death come every time I close my eyes .

I am always scared every time I see a pregnant woman even slowly I am afraid of every woman . "

Zalia listened to Zayn's story with a heart of pity . But his heart was still wondering 'is it true that his mother who had harmed Zayn's mother, Zayn could have been wrong people right ? '

He wanted to ask but was undone his intention .

" in fact even to this day I have not fully recovered from my trauma . You are the first woman I can interact with without causing my trauma to recur . "

" really ? "

Zalia asked was curious and also sorry to hear that because she really loved the man in front of her .

" what about your female business partner ? "

" most business associates just shake hands .can not be more than ten seconds "

Answer Zayn honestly . Because all this time , he completely avoided cooperation with a company led by a woman . If you have to work together, Demian is always the target .

" Zalia, once again I'm sorry "

Zayn said as he lowered his head . The request was truly sincere from his heart .

" i'm sleepy brother . Can I sleep now ? "

Zayn, who had been standing, sat on the side of the bed beside Zalia .

He held both of his wife's hands and held them .

" do you not forgive me ? "

Zayn was so afraid that Zalia would not forgive him .

Zalia drew her hand and laid her body against Zayn .
