"Why did he come? Mr. Alex is healthy." whispered Zahra to Rayyan.
They were having a meeting at a restaurant this afternoon, to discuss the continuation of the project and also lunch. When making an appointment, Alex was the one who contacted Zahra. But now, Nadine actually participated in their meeting that afternoon.
"I don't know. Maybe Nadine knows that I still hang you, so she deliberately came to try to seduce me" replied Rayyan who also whispered.
"Dihh, piety." replied Zahra with annoyance, then stood up from his seat to welcome the arrival of Alex and Nadine.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, the streets are quite jammed. But I guess, you're glad you didn't have time to be alone?" nadine said as she sat down. He looked relaxed, but when he glanced at Zahra it was seen once if the woman did not like Zahra.
"No problem. It took Zahra and I a long time to discuss our wedding preparations. If we're in the office, we're busy with each other."
Rayyan immediately got an elbow from Zahra. While Nadine and Alex who were sitting in front of them widened their eyes in shock to hear Rayyan's statement.
"W-what did you say? You guys gonna.. m-married?" Nadine said in a stark manner, and Rayyan answered with a nod of her head.
He did not expect that he would hear about it at the meeting this afternoon. Moreover, Rayyan and her assistant just a few months ago began a relationship, and now they are getting married?
"You... kidding right, Rayyan?" Nadine made sure to come back.
"No. I'm not kidding, especially for things related to marriage." Rayyan still answered casually, while Zahra started to get agitated as Nadine looked so devastated by what her lover had just said.
"B-but you guys just got into a relationship. How can... how can you decide to get married?"
"Marriage doesn't have to wait for a relationship to last for years, Nadine. Even those that have been running for a long time can run aground and not get married, right?" Rayyan said it out loud.
"I don't think it's the right time to talk about it. This is our personal matter, and you guys came here to discuss work. But, I'll make sure you guys accept our wedding invitation later. So later there is no need to ask this repeatedly." added Rayyan.
Rayyan only wanted Nadine to be aware of her position, then to step down and not make Zahra threatened by her position. That afternoon meeting certainly made Nadine even more uncomfortable. Repeatedly he tried to get Rayyan back, but now Rayyan seems to have closed all access.

"We have to talk" Nadine told Zahra. Nadine was deliberately waiting for Zahra who was in the toilet at the time.
For Nadine, it's not too late. He said that if the yellow janur has not curved, anything can happen. Even in some marriages it is also destroyed because of the temptation of the third person right?
"Yes, just talk. I'll listen to it while washing my hands." replied Zahra as she walked towards the sink.
Nadine grunted in annoyance. She didn't expect Zahra to be this thick now. But eventually, he complies with Zahra's request as well.
"Leave Rayyan!" nadine said without shame.
Zahra stopped her hand washing. Zahra looked at the reflection of Nadine's shadow standing behind her from the mirror. Exhaling slowly, Zahra tried to calm herself down to be unaffected by Nadine's words.
"Why? Why should I leave him?" zahra asked while turning off the water tap, then turning her body face to face with Nadine.
"Is it because I was born into a mediocre family so I don't deserve to be with her?"
"You should have understood that before you started a relationship with Rayyan, Zahra. Rayyan is the heir in her family, Rayyan needs a matching figure."
Zahra laughed cynically. "So Nadine's sister is worth Rayyan's?"
"Rayyan was just tempted by you because you offered to her. Men will not refuse if a woman gives herself to them."
"What did my sister say?" Zahra is really hooked now. I want her to pull Nadine's lips with pliers.
"I've been patient enough all this time, but I think it's been getting late. As long as you know yes, I never seduced brother Rayyan or to surrender myself to him. All this happened because of Rayyan's brother who chased me. Even about the incident of the room together, it was also because of brother Rayyan who forced. But we don't sleep together like you think. So if now brother asks me to let go of brother Rayyan, eat my answer 'no'. I'm not going to let go of it, so I think our business is done now." Zahra stepped out her leg and deliberately smashed her shoulder against Nadine's body.
Zahra walked quickly to the table where Rayyan and Alex were still sitting there. As much as possible he held back his emotions to not get angry right then and there. He didn't want Alex to suspect anything against him.
"Udah finished?" rayyan asked as soon as Zahra had returned to her seat.
"Hm, we can go back to the office right now, right?" said Zahra while cleaning her luggage.
"Okay, we're back now."

"You why the hell? If you've been asked, I don't know what's causing it either." asked Rayyan while rubbing Zahra's hair.
Since leaving the restaurant almost half the way, Zahra just kept quiet and stared out the window. Zahra always shook her head every time Rayyan asked her.
"Are you angry about Nadine?"
Zahra did not answer, she just exhaled violently. It seems that Zahra still feels emotions with the incident in the bathroom earlier.
"Baiklaaahhh. I think I should give you a moment to calm down. I'll wait until you're ready to make a story." Rayyan tilted her head after stepping on the brakes stopped at the red light.
Rayyan tried to steal the look on her angry lover's face. Smiling, Rayyan pinched Zahra's cheek.
"Iiihhh.. hurts tau!" zahra grunted in annoyance, then grabbed Rayyan's hand to hold it.
"So about..your proposal a while ago, I've thought about it."
Zahra's words just now made Rayyan clench her lips, opening her ears as wide as possible to hear carefully what Zahra might tell her.
"I agree to it." Zahra's reply just now seemed to still make Rayyan confused, Rayyan was still fixated on looking at Zahra.
"Let's get married. I'm willing to marry you and live the rest of my life with you."
Not yet had Rayyan's lips opened to give his response, the sound of a car horn behind him made him rush to drive his car.
