Not Ordinary Love

A Hugs of Tranquility

"What's the Mother?" ask Zoya. She is shocked when Ethan calls her, but the person behind the phone is Freya, her mother-in-law.

So is Zoya hoping to get a call from Ethan? Not that, Zoya just feels happy because Ethan treats her so well.

"Mother just wants to hear from you. How's your filming going?"

"Euu, there's a little distraction." Zoya honestly.

"Disturbance?" Freya asked.

"Hmm, maybe it's because Zoya isn't focused."

"Why? Is it because you keep thinking about Ethan?" there was Freya's teasing tone at the other end.

Zoya fell silent, then smiled. "No, Mother."

"Times?"

"Zoya, called the director." One of the crew called. Zoya nodded with a smile. "You want to continue filming?" Freya asked behind the phone. He must have heard the crew call Zoya.

"Yes, Mother. Then we hang up, Dad."

"Yes, spirit."

"Thank you Mother."

"Same darling,"

Call disconnected, Zoya silently stared at the phone screen. His smile was engraved, feeling the attention of a mother. Before long, the woman's eyes glazed over. His heart misses his mother, very much.

As soon as filming was over until two in the afternoon, Zoya continued to the shooting location. The ringing of Selin's cell phone that has since sounded makes Zoya turn to the manager.

"Mbak, someone called." he said, making Selin gasp. Apparently he was daydreaming earlier, Selin looked at the screen of the phone, Zoya noticed.

"Zoy, you pick up the phone first."

Zoya nodded. Selin out of the make up studio. Zoya is silent again, letting her makeup artist resume work.

Zoya comes out as soon as she is done, intending to go to the toilet for a while to wash her hands. But he faintly heard Selin's voice talking on the phone from the other bathroom door.

"I told you, don't call me anymore."

"Stop bothering me. I don't want to let Zoya get suspicious."

Zoya stopped her footsteps as her name called. His forehead frowned, questioning roughly who Selin was talking to behind his phone. Why carry his name?

"Please, Fahry. It's over, don't bother me anymore."

"Fahry?" zoya's lips blurted.

"Your relationship with Zoya is over, and that's enough for me."

"What happened to Zoya and Mr. Ethan, we know enough."

"We've agreed with that, don't add to the problem or someone else will know what we're doing later."

"I don't want Zoya to be disappointed with me,"

Zoya shook her head softly with a bland laugh. His eyes immediately glazed over, before long he stepped up as soon as his tears would spill.

While Selin who had finished making a phone call with Fahry returned to the make up stuidio. "Where is Zoya?" ask her to a makeup artist Zoya who is cleaning the equipment.

"Sir Zoya was out ten minutes ago, Ma'am."

"Oh, is that so?" Selin stepped out, he met Adhel who looked confused. "Adhel, where's Zoya?" selin asks when she sees Zoya's assistant carrying Zoya's bag in her hand. "That's it Ma'am, I'm looking for Zoya's sister, people are waiting for a photo shoot."

Selin sighed, contacting Zoya but the woman's phone was in Adhel's hands. "Where is Zoya going, Dad?" Selin looks confused. It's not unusual for Zoya to leave for no reason all of a sudden without her phone.

Meanwhile, the woman who was waiting for the shoot was walking with tired footsteps. His legs led him to a public funeral and stopped at one of the gravestones.

Zoya collapses, resting there right at the mother's grave. Her tears have been flowing for a long time. "Mother," her cheeks were wet, her smooth hands rubbing the surface of the tombstone, wiping the name engraved there with a longing that only she felt. With a plight that can only be held by himself.

Zoya doesn't want to think about Selin. Although his mind is headed there, where it is going between him and Ethan, all is someone's bad plan.

Zoya knows that, there are indeed people who try to bring her down, only Zoya does not believe and does not think if the closest person to her does that.

Zoya can't believe if Selin did it .., and Fahry. They have a special mountain behind Zoya?"

"Why are you all bad?" Zoya said in despair.

"Why did you betray me?"

"Why do you guys have a heart?"

Zoya sobbed. The sky began to blacken with rain water that would soon spill into a witness, how Zoya felt the pain.

And elsewhere, though, Randy is assigned by Ethan to find out the true events of the case between Ethan and Zoya which causes them to be stuck in the marriage squinting as soon as they see the cctv footage where the company party is held at Ethan's grandfather's hotel.

His head shook slowly looking at the observation. "It's impossible" he said as soon as he saw the full details of the recording.

**

Ethan goes down the stairs, after which he sees a watch on his wrist that shows at nine o'clock in the evening. Zoya had not yet returned, but the woman had previously told her she would finish at five in the afternoon. It rained like it did last night.

The man decides to contact Zoya who he previously held back for not wanting to make the woman feel annoyed.

"Hallo, Zoya." said Ethan as soon as the customer connected.

"Where is Zoya?"

"She's been missing since three o'clock in the afternoon sir, and hasn't come back yet."

Ethan was silent, suddenly he felt anxious and worried for his wife. "Where did he go?" Ethan asked very impatiently, speeding his way down the stairs to get out of the house and immediately into the car.

"Did something happen on set this afternoon"

"Nothing, sir. All is well, I also don't understand why Zoya suddenly left."

"It's not usually that he behaves that way."

"Aish." Ethan decides on a one-sided call. Driving his car at high speed, the thing he really avoids, even almost never to do.

Down the streets of the capital under the rain. His feelings are not calm, he is sure Zoya is not in a good state. Because if nothing happens, it is impossible for Zoya to just leave without caring about her work and professionalism as an actress.

Ethan puts up earphones, contacts Randy who he can trust. "Ran, where are you?" directly attack the scretary with questions.

"I just got out and finished the job you gave me. As soon as you have to know how outrageous ignorance–"

"That's not important now. I'm asking you to check all the cctv's on every street, find Zoya's whereabouts and let me know after finding her."

Ethan disconnects the one-sided call without waiting for Randy's approval on the other end, his eyes rolling out to every place he passes, hoping to find his wife soon.

**

With a hunting breath after climbing the emergency stairs due to an elevator being repaired by technicians, Ethan leans against the wall next to the door of Zoya's apartment unit, Randy told him if Zoya's arrival to the apartment was recorded cctv installed on the road.

Before long, as soon as his breathing began to regular Ethan knocked on the door. I hope Zoya opens the door and lets her in to see the woman.

"Zoya" several times knocked and pressed the bell but there was no response from within. Until a voice from inside through the intercom makes Ethan feel relieved.

"What's wrong?" Zoya asked reluctantly at the end there.

"Open the door!"

"Today I didn't go home." Zoya's voice sounded lethargic.

"Open the door!" Ethan doesn't want to hear anything from the woman, who he wants only to see Zoya in good shape.

"I'm not home today." Zoya insists.

"I'm calling security to force open the door of your apartment." Ethan threatens, he thinks of no other way but that.

Inside there Zoya sighed. He is forced to open the door and let Ethan in. The man looks relieved to see Zoya, but he feels astonished when he finds the woman's dark apartment. The sound of the tv filled every corner of the room.

Ethan follows the woman who is seen wearing a black t-shirt, her hair in the booth and looks wet.

"You raining?" ethan asks, touching Zoya's hair but she dodges. Ethan's hand stopped in midair.

"What are you doing here?"

"Why don't you go home?" Ethan asks back and makes Zoya feel upset.

"What do you care?"

"I'm your husband–"

"Suami forced!" Zoya answered quickly. Suddenly feeling emotion for everything that has happened.

"–and I'm so worried about you." Ethan continued his sentence.

The two of them just kept quiet by staring at each other. Zoya threw her body onto the sofa, grabbed a pillow and focused her gaze on the large screen before her.

"You don't have to worry about me!" he said without even looking at Ethan.

"Have you eaten?"

"You don't have to care about me!" Zoya screams and makes Ethan stiffen, looking at Zoya who suddenly cries in front of him.

"You don't care" the woman shouted.

"Everything is just pretending. Pretend to care and love me? What reality? They're all lying,"

"Even the man I trusted the most, he betrayed me!"

"He's got to stab me in the back,"

"Nobody is really sincere with me. There's nothing!" Zoya cried as she pleased, she drowned her face on the pillow. Until here Ethan understood what was really going on with his wife.

Ethan's approaching. "Do you think your problem will be solved by being rich gini?" ethan asked, making Zoya raise her gaze and look at the man who did not understand her feelings. Isn't what Ethan was supposed to do is calm him down and give a hug to Zoya, then say if everything will be okay?

"Because I need calm!" Zoya replied after a while.

"Then why didn't you come to me?"

Zoya stares at Ethan for a while, without being able to hold back her tears, falling down without her being able to stand it. Ethan smiled, eroding the distance and holding the woman in his arms. Rubbing the woman's arm gives her strength.

"Everything's gonna be okay,"

"I'm with you here."

I'm a baper, Ethan🤭
