"Sorry, ma'am," replied Fathan kindly. He shouldn't be standing in the middle of the road like this. "Let's go in," he asked Ziara.
"Father first."
"Way together."
Ziara was fixated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He also tried to be confident.
"Come." Fathan and Ziara finally walked together.
Fathan is happy that Ziara is now starting to walk with confidence.
Ziara was puzzled as Fathan walked up the stairs leading to the top floor. Even if you look around there are still many empty tables below.
"Sir why are we going upstairs? Isn't it that there's a lot of empty tables down there?" ziara asked on the sidelines as she climbed the stairs.
Fathan smile. "The table below has been ordered by others, so it should not be sat carelessly," he explained in a soft tone
"Oh that's it." Ziara smiled clumsily. She was ashamed for being so ugly. "I'm sorry, sir. I don't know."
Fathan nodded in understanding. "Well, you just ask me if you don't know."
"Yes, sir." Ziara did not expect Fathan to be as gentle and sweet as this.
Fathan pulled the chair. "Sit down" he told Ziara.
Ziara immediately sat on the chair. "Thank you, sir."
Fathan sat down, then glanced at his employees. He raised his right hand giving the code for them to come.
'Just raise your hand, go straight.'Inner Ziara was astonished.
"Please." The waiter provided a menu of food and drinks available at this restaurant.
"Thank you," said Fathan immediately got a polite nod from the waiter. "What do you want to order?" ask her to Ziara.
"Huh?" Ziara was surprised because she was told to order, but Ziara honestly did not know what she was going to order. "I'm rich in drinking pesen first" he replied with a forced smile.
"Please open the menu." Fathan shifted the menu book before Ziara.
Ziara immediately opened the menu and Fathan continued to look at him with a fixed gaze.
Ziara looking for a drink menu. 'Pesen white water only.' His mind while looking for the white water menu in the menu book.
"Well?!" Ziara's reflexes slightly shouted as she looked at the price of a bottle of white water. He gawked in disbelief, how could the price of water alone 80 thousand. He fidgeted when he remembered how much money he had brought.
Fathan smiled looking at Ziara's expression that was so shocked, yet it looked funny to him. "Why?" tanyanya gently.
Ziara looked up then shook her head. "No papa, sir," he answered, for he could not be honest. He looked back at the menu book hoping to find the cheapest drink price.
'Where's the sweet tea?' Inner seeking.
His two eyes immediately glared perfectly when he saw the price of the sweet iced tea. 'A hundred and twenty thousand?'His mind was in shock. Just looking at the drink menu alone has vibrated his soul what else if he saw the food menu might make him traumatized to open the menu book.
'Udah just buy water because this is the cheapest.' Then he closed the menu book.
"Udah? What's the pesen?" ask Fathan.
"I'll take the water, sir."
Fathan chuckled at it. "You're there, if only the white water pesen yes mending at home."
"Sir, bring me the best food and drink here" Fathan said, as the waiter noted.
"Okay, for the drink?"
Fathan looked towards Ziara first. Then smile. "White water is sweet iced tea."
"Okay, please wait."
The waiter left.
Ziara instantly opened her bag checking how much money she was carrying right now. "I only brought three hundred thousand, sir. It's not enough money to pay for all the orders you order."
"Ziara, my first request. I just want you to meet me here, not ask you to buy me a meal."
Ziara was silent for a moment digesting Fathan's words just now. True too, Fathan only asked her to meet him here instead of asking for a treaty. Be fat! Why did Ziara not realize that, he was willing to break his chicken piggy bank.
"You don't have to think about how to pay, I'll pay for everything" added Fathan to stop worrying about it.
Ziara nodded her head. "Yes, sir."
To fill this awkwardness, the two of them chose to play their respective phones.
Fathan stared fixedly at the screen of his phone that was opening the camera he zoomed into the large mirror behind Ziara. Where the reflection of Ziara's phone screen can be seen in the mirror, there is no way he directly looked into the mirror because Ziara will know if he was peeking at his activities that are opening the chat application.
Fathan squinted his eyes to see clearly some incoming messages in Ziara's chat app.
Brayden's.
Zi, what time is it?
Shasa💘's
Tomorrow's a walk.
Bang Bani's.
Don't turn it around.
Fiki.
Brayden was jealous of you being smitten with Fathan Zi.🤣
'Brayden? Does she like Ziara?' Fathan's mind is upset.
Ziaras.
Also back away.
Ziara replied to Brayden's message. Fathan saw it heating up. Ck! He does not like to have a rival. What else if the rival Brayden, because Brayden son of a rich man and his face can also be quite handsome. Although his face is more handsome.
Brayden's.
Gua waitin yes, want to chat.
'What the hell Brayden, would you like to talk about whether he is with Ziara?' Inner Fathan was jealous. He was upset why Ziara kept replying to messages from Brayden.
"Ziara?" call Fathan for not letting Ziara keep talking to Brayden.
Ziara flinched then lowered her hand which was holding her phone. "Why, Sir?" tanyanya while putting her phone on the table.
