Zena fell silent at Zaka's question blatantly and clearly. Zena tries to gather the strength of her heart to answer Zaka's question.
"You know, I hate you so much. Although there was a little bit of love at that time, it has not been able to defeat this grudge on you" replied Zena.
"Vengeance, what grudge do you have for me? What mistake did I make that made you a grudge?!" ask Zaka curiously.
"You once told Sinta that you would never love me. And ..." Zena could not continue the words that made her heart break into pieces. "You may have forgotten all that. But to me, it's something I can't accept."
"Zena, if I had known what I said before Sinta made you hate me, I wouldn't have said it" Zaka said sadly.
"But you said it."
"Zena, I'm really sorry to do that. But you need to know, I said that because I want to protect you from Sinta."
"Protect? You don't have to make excuses" Zena said.
"I don't make excuses. But it's true. I know, Sinta has bullied you a lot and I can't quite stand up for you."
"Because I'm ugly?" ask Zena.
"Please forgive me. I just don't want any trouble in my office environment."
"Sorry, okay. I'm sorry I'm such an ugly girl who doesn't deserve real affection."
Zaka just kept quiet to hear Zena's statement. Because it's true. Zaka could only nod softly which caused Zena to be emotionally stirred up. Zena immediately stood up leaving Zaka who regretted his actions first.
***
The wedding date between Zena and Bryan is set. Bryan seemed happy because soon Zena would be his. Because the set time was still a bit long, Bryan returned to America to finish his work.
Of course, this makes Zena sad because the opportunity to explain her past is gone. Though Zena had planned, before the wedding she had to be frank with Bryan.
However, Zena respected her decision to leave. To pass the time, Zena works to help her father in one of his father's boutiques. Of course, although not the leader there, he tried to learn to be able to develop his hobby in the field of clothing design.
Zena never thought if it turned out that her boutique was working with Zaka's hotel to hold a fashion show there. Inevitably, Zena will meet Zaka intensely because some of his designs also participated in the event.
While Zaka was very happy when he found out that Zena will be participating in the fashion show this time. Although Zaka realizes that Zena is his best friend's future wife, he still wants to fight for her love.
Zaka would not care if later he would be considered a 'plant forage' by the people around him. So long looking, finally able to meet and clear up the misunderstanding between them.
Now Bryan is not next to Zena, and this opportunity Zaka will never miss. Preparation and training of the show began to be held. Zena would come to Zaka's hotel every day to monitor the training process.
Zaka also did not miss the chance to get close to Zena. He was always there when Zena was. That makes Zena uncomfortable too. However, Zena's choice is already round to Bryan, and Zena does not want Zaka to be the third person between him and Bryan.
"Zee..."
A call made Zena who was talking to the models so stopped. He knows who called him.
"Zaka, less work," murmured Zena.
"Zee..."
The voice of the call was heard again. Zena noble is upset.
"So soon, something has to be sorted out first" Zena said, turning her body toward the source of the voice.
Zena is the owner of my heart.
Zaka no longer remembers that Zena is his best friend's future wife. His love interests beat his logic.
"What's up?!" ask Zena ketus.
"Have you had lunch?!" asked Zaka with a friendly smile.
In front of Zena, Zaka could not act cold. Zena was like a fire that was able to warm her cold attitude.
"Yet, maybe even a little more. Wait for them to finish."
"Don't get too stressed, your body can get sick later. I can't see it."
"My own body, what's the matter with you?" ask Zena annoyed.
"Zena, why do you keep being so cute and tight with me? Not that I've apologized and regretted and we've forgiven him. At least let me be a part of your life. I mean, your best friend."
"I may have forgiven you, but don't bother me anymore. Let's forget everything," Zena said with a sigh.
"Am I being such a bully to you? Is it easy to forget our beautiful memories? Maybe for you to forget all that is so easy, but for me this love is not cotton that if blown by the wind will easily fly away and disappear. So let me still have this love even if it's just one-sided."
"But your pretentious attitude makes me uncomfortable."
"I'm sorry then. I just want to see you. From now on I won't bother you anymore. But, let me greet you when I meet."
"Give up, just don't piss me off."
"For the last time, let me take you to lunch here. I beg you, after that you are free" Zaka said.
Zena agreed to Zaka's wish so that in the future he could get the sense of comfort that Zaka promised by not bothering him anymore. Go to the restaurant at Zaka's hotel.
Zena is served like the queen of hotel owners. But Zena felt awkward about making it. Although Zena used to be treated like that by Zaka and he enjoyed it very much at that time.
I don't know what is in Zaka's mind so he keeps trying to make me to recall the past even though indirectly. Zena realized she had loved him. Zaka the President is cold who has absolutely no interest in women.
Loving her without expecting anything in return and when Zaka has fallen in love with her Zena releases that love for her ambition of revenge.
Now, Zena has moved on from Zaka's love and is trying to love Bryan. Although his love for Bryan has not been as great as his love for Zaka but Zena has a responsibility to maintain the sanctity of his love that has been invested in Bryan. The man who will soon be her husband.
Zaka smiled whenever Zena was pensive. He deliberately wanted to make Zena remember one by one memories with him. Not only that, Zaka wanted Zena to know that Zaka would never forget a single bit of all those memories. He was willing to live with those memories to be able to survive with his current happiness.
Let me love you even if you forget me.
Let me live with the good memories of our past, even if you don't want to remember them anymore.
