Love The Arrogant Man

I'm Fine, ok

In a room with dominant black and blue sea paint, a silence was struck, at the table was neatly arranged home-cooked food with Three human children sitting on different sofas, Zahla, on the table, David and Marissa.

Marissa who since the arrival of Zahla just kept quiet by continuing to lower her head, and David who also locked her mouth but with a look of face as if she felt dislike of the current situation, but in contrast to Zahla who was busy preparing food for David as well as himself.

''I'm sorry Miss Marissa, I only brought two pairs of cutlery, but I've asked Rebecca to get it, with Zahla calling Marissa's name as if he had known her before made David feel astonished.

''Do you know each other?'' david asked with curiosity.

''Yes, a few days ago, we knew and you remember David, I said I just made a new friend and I went to a beauty salon, it was Marissa who invited me, right, Marissa?'' Marissa who was called out just nodded with her pale face.

David sees Zahla and Marissa taking turns, as if examining something, but only he knows the contents of his mind.

A knock on the door rang out and Rebecca came in after Zahla asked for it, a set of cutlery Rebecca gave Zahla with a face that felt depressed from feeling guilty at the situation her current boss was in.

''Thank you Rebecca, oh yes, would you like to eat with us?'' zahla offers Rebecca.

''No mistress boss, thank you. I'm sorry.''

Zahla calmly picked up the rice and side dishes and placed it right in front of Marissa, ''please eat, '' he said while taking his food.

But his hand movements stopped because he saw David and Marissa did not eat the food. ''David, let's eat. Come on Marissa, sorry if the food tastes bad, because somehow today my feelings are not good and affect my cooking results.'' Said Zahla by talking as it is, yes from the morning Zahla felt bad feeling, whatever he did felt strange, strange, and what Zahla said just now is not a satire for Marissa because that's what she felt.

''Sorry Zahla, my assistant sent me a message that I have work to do, but next time we can eat together. I say yes Zahla, David.'' Marissa got out of her seat and left David and Zahla.

Not sure what Zahla was thinking, but from the attitude that Zahla showed as if he did not mind what David was currently worried about, Zahla continued to eat his food until it was not left on his plate, his eyes glanced at David's plate which had not even been touched in the slightest.

''Don't want to eat, right? yes already, I tidied again yes..'' Said Zahla again but David was still silent, after finishing tidying her back and cleaning the stains scattered on the table without saying anything else Zahla was moving.

''Where are you going?'' prevent David from holding Zahla's wrist. With a look on her face that showed that she was fine, Zahla just smiled faintly and said, I say yes, you continue your work, and don't come home late, I'll cook your favorite food.'' For some reason David's heart felt sliced at Zahla's words, he could not guess what Zahla felt and thought this time, he could not guess, the look on her face showed that she was fine but somehow her words implied that there was disappointment in her heart.

''Are you angry, baby?'' david asked with a soft face.

''Angry? angry why, no, I'm just not feeling well, you resume your work, if you feel hungry ask Rebecca to order food. I pamit.'' Gently Zahla let go of David's hand grip on her wrist and passed away from there.

David gazes at Zahla's body further away from him, his chaotic feelings between feeling guilty towards Zahla and being angry with Marissa.

''Is there a fight?'' rebecca muttered increasingly feeling bad, and it turned out that her mutterings were unintentionally heard by Krishna.

''Who is fighting? Zahla and Mr David? why?'' krishna asked who was looking towards Rebecca to see Zahla.

''Is Zahla crying?'' krishna asked again with his worry because he still cares about Zahla who used to be close to him.

''Husstt, don't be tight, later heard the boss master just know your taste.''...

Tear drops just fell on Zahla's pink cheeks, and on her swab with one finger. ''Why are these tears coming down, '' said Zahla with her firmness.

Zahla continues to step with wide strides towards the car waiting for her in the parking lot, but a call from someone makes her stop her steps and she very much knows who is calling her.

''Zahla?'' call once more from someone who had stood behind Zahla, and again Zahla took a deep breath and turned to face the one who called her who was none other than Marissa.

''Ya'yeah? you haven't left yet?'' Zahla.

''I'm sorry,''

''For?''

''I actually approached you just because I was''

''David?'' cut off Zahla suddenly.''I know Marissa, I've been aware of that ever since we went to the salon together.'' Further.

''At that time I saw your eyes staring at the portrait of David on my phone with a strange look, and I also knew that you and Emily met to talk about you guys,''

''Thank God if you know all that, I came back here because of a promise that David made long ago, so please, don't ask me to leave empty-handed.'' Zahla laughed at what Marissa said.

''I have no right to prevent you from charging David's promise to you, but you need to know, from childhood I've been taught by sharing, whatever I have must be given in part to the needy, but not to love or just to allow strangers to step into my household.'' Zahla paused her words.

''So don't you ever think that I'm going to accept you into the circle that I've made with David, and another one, I hate betrayal so much.'' Said Zahla again who then left without saying goodbye. Marissa looked at Zahla who had gotten into the car and disappeared at the crossroads.
