Love Zena

Zaka Bryan's best friend

Bryan takes Zena to a restaurant in a hotel owned by his best friend that he wants to introduce her to. Zena looked around with pleasure.

"This place is very good, according to my taste," said Zena remembered her place of work in the hotel Zaka.

"really? My friend said, her lover used to love this kind of decoration and layout. Too bad, when he decided to propose to her, her lover instead asked to break up without any explanation."

Zena is familiar with Bryan's story. But Zena had not had time to think, someone had come and immediately hugged Bryan.

"How are you, man. More handsome," said the man.

"good. You alone, seem to have moved on from the former," joked Bryan.

"Yet. Introduce your future wife to me."

"Just calm. I've brought him to meet you specifically. Here comes..."

Zena is shocked to see who Bryan's best friend is. He is Zaka. Likewise with Zaka, he was no less surprised than Zena. They both try to hide that they know each other. And that Zaka's ex-lover is Zena.

"Zaka."

"Zena."

Zaka and Zena shook hands. Zaka, who had missed Zena so much, did not want to let go of her hand. Zena felt awkward because Zaka just kept staring at her face and as if he did not want to let go of her hand. Bryan who saw that, instantly let go of their hands.

"Zaka, don't try to make me jealous. Surely Zena's not as pretty as your ex" Bryan told Zaka.

"Just as beautiful as it is, I can't stand her soft lips at least" Zaka said as he looked at Zena.

"Basic bawdy. Zee doesn't want to beat him up. Ever since the girl left, her brain has been tilted. Every girl there is a beautiful girl who thinks her ex is a girl" Bryan said with a laugh.

"Mbak Zee yes, when to know Bryan. I mean when did you first meet? I was wondering if I was so straight to get married."

Zena looked confused as to what to answer. Bryan helps Zena answer Zaka's questions.

"Let me help you answer. Um...We just met two weeks ago. He was my savior when I had a motorcycle accident. I fell in love with her from the first sight" Bryan replied.

"Truly the ideal husband-to-be helps his future wife answer. I just want to know, when did Zee fall in love with my handsome friend?!" tanya Zaka tries to figure out Zee's feelings.

"Same. When I helped her," Zena replied nervously.

"Together, you were betrothed. But thank goodness if you both fall in love with each other," said Zaka harbor resentment because the woman he loves prefers his best friend.

"It's just a coincidence or you can say destiny too. We fell in love before we knew we were being betrothed" Bryan said, smiling at Zena.

"Congratulations to your relationship. May you always be happy. A toast to you guys," said Zaka heavily.

"Thank you buddy. Hopefully you can find your ex soon and be able to turn it back again."

"May she know I still love her so much."

Zena was silent and did not say much. He could no longer think and his mind was in chaos.

Zaka, why do you have to show up when I've started letting go of the past.

Zena took a heavy breath, her chest felt tight as if she was squeezed by a heavy burden.

***

The encounter with Zaka, made Zena confused. She has to be honest with Bryan about her past. The woman who had abandoned her best friend, and broke Zaka's heart was herself.

His daydream stopped when his phone rang. No name, just an unknown number. But his curiosity made him lift the shackle.

"Cum, Zee. How are you?" there was a voice of a man who felt familiar.

"Hallo, who are you?" zena replied curiously. "You have completely forgotten me. This is Zaka.. Now remember me?" ask Zaka sadly.

"Why did you call me? How do you know my phone number?" ask Zena annoyed.

"Of course from your fiancee, Bryan. Does he know we've been dating? But I don't think so. Why don't you tell her your past? You don't dare, or I'll tell him." Zaka asked as if threatening Zena.

"Wait for Zaka, maybe we need to talk."

"Well, come to my hotel in the afternoon. I also have a lot of questions you need to answer. Then I'll see you tomorrow" Zaka said, ending his phone call.

Zena is upset with Zaka's actions that seem to threaten her. Why has Zaka been looking for her long enough.

***

In the afternoon, Zena came to Zaka's hotel. Though anxious and worried that Bryan will find out the truth about Zaka and Zena's relationship. But isn't it the past that Zena doesn't want to remember.

"Who do you want to meet, miss?" ask the hotel receptionist kindly.

"I want to meet the president of this hotel."

"You mean miss, Mr Zaka? Is that lady named Zena?" ask the receptionist again.

"true."

"Then, please miss directly in Mr. Zaka's room over there. Mr. Zaka is waiting."

"Thank you" replied Zena quietly.

Zena walked slowly to the Presdent's room to meet Zaka. Arriving at the door Zena paused for a moment to arrange her heart so as not to be nervous. After a while, Zena knocked on the door of the President's room slowly but was quite heard by Zaka.

"Come in," Zaka's voice sounded soft.

Zena opened the door and there sat the cold President she had known, Zaka. Zaka looked as cold-faced as when Zena first knew him. Highlight those sharp and vicious eyes that's what

"Sit down" said Zaka coldly.

"Thank you."

Zena sat in front of Zaka and tried not to get nervous. But still Zena could not completely eliminate it.

"You're the one who spoke first, because you're the one who asked to meet first" Zaka said still in a cold tone.

"alright. I asked you not to tell Bryan that we knew each other before. I'll find time to tell her myself" Zena said half-begged.

"Are you sure you're gonna tell Bryan about our relationship? It's over, but Bryan knows I love you more than anything. Aren't you worried that he's disappointed in you?" zaka asked in a cold but considerate manner.

"That's your business. You don't have to worry about me."

"Well, I'm not gonna tell Bryan. Now it's my turn to ask you." Zaka was silent for a moment while looking at Zena. "Why did you leave me in such a way, a way that hurt me so much?!"

Zaka will hear Zena's answer in the next episode.
