Ethan's black car drove under the clear skies of the Capital City by ten in the morning. Zoya sits quietly, Ethan who focuses on driving occasionally turns his attention to the woman sitting next to him. Zoya is silent with a straight forward look.
"Why are you going to Grandfa's company?" zoya's question makes Ethan turn to the woman, exactly. Ethan had been waiting for that question from Zoya ever since.
"Duty." Ethan says briefly, trying to be indifferent to Zoya.
"Oh."
A frown on Ethan's forehead is suddenly created when his rowdy attitude is meted out by the woman. "Oh?" repeated with a little high intonation and managed to make Zoya look astonished. Zoya thinks it's perfectly natural that Ethan gets any assignment from his father or his two grandfathers who own a big company.
"Oh?" repeat Ethan again.
"Apaan, anyway, you used to just say 'oh' when I told you I was a famous actress." Zoya said. Ethan sighed, he often overreacted when dealing with the woman.
Zoya also sighed so that her patience did not end with her husband. "What tasks do you have?" looks like Zoya has to ask questions and be enthusiastic for her husband to be happy.
"There's a bit of a problem at the overseas branch company. Me and my dad used to take care of it."
Zoya smiled hearing that. "Non-neighborhood? Exactly where is it?"
"America."
"How many days?"
"It could be less, or more than four days." Ethan responded with a view that remained focused forward.
"Why not a week or two, anyway?"
Ethan rounded his eyes to hear that, looking at his wife who said something and blatantly in front of him. "If I miss you, how?"
Zoya turns her head, then smiles at Ethan who focuses her gaze forward. "Oww," Zoya patted her husband's arm gently in an alay style, as if blushing at what Ethan had just said.
Ethan just shook his head slowly, then refocused on driving until something disturbed his mind. He turns to Zoya, the woman seems relaxed even though Ethan will leave her to a faraway place.
"Zoy," call Ethan after stopping the car right when the traffic light is red.
"Hm." Zoya says lazily.
"I'll go far. America and Indonesia are not close, you know that?"
"But we're still in the same sky, right?" Zoya said seriously, for a moment making Ethan look at what the woman said. It was pretty exciting for Ethan. Before long, Ethan unconsciously nodded his head.
"Road!" tell the unconscious Zoya if Ethan dissolves in the sentence she just said.
"Hmm?"
"Ijo lamp, Ethan." Zoya made it clear with a smile.
"Oh." Ethan's consciousness is perfectly collected, he starts driving the car to continue the journey, driving the woman to where she will be filming the commercial. Since the place is in line with Wary's company, Ethan invites Zoya to leave together instead of letting the wife be picked up by her manager.
Thinking about it again still makes Ethan unsettled. How could that woman look so fine that Ethan would leave her for so long. Or maybe the woman was just happy that Ethan left and wouldn't bother her in a few days?
"Aren't you sad I left?" the topic of Ethan's conversation is still about the overseas tasks he will carry out. Zoya looks upset, she is getting bored, Ethan is overreacting.
"You're going back to Indonesia, aren't you?"
"Hm."
"Yaudah, why should I be sad? I can do anything without you, I don't need your help to do something. Okay?"
"I can eat alone, go to work myself and–"
"Including being able to satisfy yourself?" the question of the man who interjected quickly paused Zoya's words. The woman looked at Ethan with a flat gaze. He gets more lazy when Ethan's talk goes there.
Seeing the woman's change in expression made Ethan smile, he reached for Zoya's hand. "Udah, ah males!" sahut Zoya without breaking Ethan's hand.
"Come on, Zoya." Zoya looked at the man lazily. "We're not just one or two times doing that."
"Should it be published, huh?" annoyed with Zoya, Ethan smiles, peeping at the back of the woman's hand. "Mother knows, anyway.if his son who is very calm is actually Don Juan?"
"Zoya, I'm just fucking you, you're the only woman. I'm different from Don Juan!" Ethan balked at what his wife said.
"Whatever!" Zoya doesn't want to know. Ethan can smile again, focus his eyes forward and drive with one hand while the other still holds Zoya's hand.
"Zoya's."
"What else, anyway?"
"You already love me?"
"Not yet!" spontaneous without consideration.
"Then, when are you going to start loving me?" ethan asked curiously. "How about after we meet again tonight?"
"No idea, ah!"
"Why have I noticed lately that you've been getting angry?"
"I don't know. If you squirm your luggage continues," Zoya looked at her husband's annoyance. Ethan held out one corner of his lips.
"That means I have to go far, let you know what it's like to miss me."
"Try it!"

After delivering Zoya, Ethan drives his car to the Warry company, parking the car. Ethan's wide steps lead the man into the company. The employees greet the man, but Ethan is Ethan. Other than the flat gaze he could give in return for a greeting. There's nothing he can do anymore.
Aryo– was a former manager of Agyan while in the entertainment world and is now a loyal Scretary of Agyan it welcomes the arrival of Ethan. He led her to Agyan's room.
Agyan does manage his in-law company, considering Freya is an only child, and no one runs the Maheswary family company.
Zeinn Group is managed by Andreas, Rayn and Rival, the son of Rayn Afgara Zeinn and Mark Devina Adelia.
"Dad and Grandfa are already inside?" ethan asks Aryo as soon as they arrive at the floor where Agyan's room is located.
"Right Mr. Ethan, they're both waiting inside."
Ethan nods his head, buttoning his suit when Aryo opens the door. Ethan stepped in, as two people waiting for him sat on the sofa in the corner, welcoming him with a smile.

"Out of duty abroad?" selin asks Zoya if Ethan is going to America on business at her grandfather's behest.
"Yes." Yeah."
"How many days?"
"Say about four days." Zoya said casually then took a soft drink of the ice bean-flavored milk available on the table where she rested.
Selin scrunched his forehead. "Zoy that's peanut-ijo milk!" Selin reminded, he knew Zoya certainly did not like food or miniman made from ijo beans.
"Yes. Tau." said while continuing to enjoy the milk.
"You–"
"No papa, really. I like it, good."
"You don't like ijo beans!"
"But now I like."
Selin fell silent, then just nodded his head. Staring at Zoya with an unreadable look.
"Where is your relationship with Mr Ethan?" he finally asked about the husband and wife relationship. Forgetting the discussion about ijo nut milk.
"It's fine."
"Look, Mr. Ethan is very good with you. Why don't you open your heart to him?" no hope between Zoya and Fahry. It is actually better if even they do not need to even just meet.
"Give it a try,"
Zoya stops drinking her green bean milk, only biting the straw with her eyes looking bright. "It's not easy, anyway, Ethan's good. But I don't understand how I feel."
"Do you know why?"
"Don't understand it."
Selin nodded his head, no longer asking much. He knows how Zoya is and how she judges men.
"Oh, yeah, Zoy. According to Ma'am, from now on Ma'am does not need to stay with you."
"Why?"
Zoya frowned, during this time he spent a lot of time alone with Ethan even though there is Selin. Because Ethan says he's not bothered by Zoya's manager.
"Selin's mother doesn't bother me, after all, Mommy rarely stays at our house."
"Bak's busy."
Zoya fell silent, before long she nodded. Selin may also need other comforts.
"Oh, well, the producer who showed you to be the star of the ad here gave me a lot of cereal gifts." tell Selin well to remember that this morning one of the crew told him about it.
"Cereal? Just turn around, ah. I don't want to,"
"You have a lot of cereal stock?" selin asked, remembering that Ethan had a lot of cereal in his kitchen cabinet for the woman after Selin told her that Zoya was a cereal devotee.
"I don't like cereal these days."
"Zoya, you love cereal, you know. Cereals are mandatory food for you."
"Yes, but not anymore." Zoya replied indifferently. Make Selin not think out.
While Zoya was speechless, considering that lately it was Ethan who often spent his cereal.
**
Zoya is quite surprised when Freya picks her up to go home to the woman. Freya says Ethan asked for it because they were going to stay at the man's parents' house.
The arrival of Freya who is very friendly and looks loving Zoya is quite interesting, here are some of the building staff where Zoya has a cooperation project there.
"I've often seen people show off the same intimacy with their girlfriends. But only this time saw people showing off familiarity with his mother-in-law."
"Zoya Hardiswara was very lucky to marry Zeinn Ethan, had in-laws as good as Bu Freya and Mr. Agyan who were both sons of big businessmen."
"Yes, really."
Suddenly someone came between them.
"Make no mistake, Zoya is not the only one who is lucky to get Zeinn Ethan. But Zeinn Ethan was also lucky to get Zoya Hardiswara." he said, mediating.
"They're both lucky."
"That's very true."
"Ethan said you're done, right? Mother doesn't bother you, does she?" ask Freya who is focused on driving.
"No, Zoya is fine."
Freya smiled. "It's good that it is."
"Would we go home or do some shopping?"
"What does mom want? Zoya, come along."
"Not cape?" Freya asked worriedly. He knows how tired it is to pursue the world like Zoya, Freya had felt it. Especially her son-in-law is an actress, unlike Freya who is just a model.
As soon as their agreement was reached, Freya finally invited her son-in-law to visit one of the shopping centers after Freya called the head of the guard at Wary's house to send some bodyguards to them.
The arrival of Zoya Hardiswara with her in-laws escorted by four bodyguards spontaneously made a crowd inside the shopping center. The Bodyguards try to keep her employer so that people do not deceive and disturb Zoya's comfort with Freya.
Many people took out mobile phones, recorded and took many portraits of the beautiful actress's familiarity with her in-laws and hunted for luxury items.
Zoya frowned, feeling her head dizzy at the sea of humans. Until after he with Freya out of the mall. Zoya can breathe a sigh of relief. Although the dizziness in his head has not subsided.
"Hows it? Fun, right?" Freya looks happy. Of course, making Zoya also happy to see it, until from a distance, someone who was running in a hurry hit Zoya, lucky Freya can reach the hand of her daughter-in-law and the woman did not fall.
"Zoy, aren't you papa?"
Zoya held onto her head, slowly her gaze appearing blurred. Until then he could not see what. Faintly he heard Freya calling his name over and over again, as well as someone apologizing, I don't know what she meant, Zoya didn't hear it clearly.
Once awake, Zoya is in the hospital gurney. He got up, held his head. The pain he had felt before seemed much better.
"Zoya's mother, is she awake?" a Doctor approaches Zoya.
"Yes Doc."
"Thank God, I just fainted. And, here's Bu–"
"You should be careful, what if something happens to meet me?"
Zoya frowned, you know for sure if it was Freya's voice. He hurried from the gurney. "Thank you, Doc."
"Mother Zoya wait, watch out Mom!"
Zoya quickly passes in front of the doctor. The doctor looked confused, then just shook his head slowly.
Until a nurse calls him if he has to check on other patients.
Zoya approaches Freya who is scolding the person who hit her in front of the shopping center some time ago.
"It doesn't matter if there are people, huh?"
"Mother, stop! Zoya is not papa, really" Zoya tried to divorce the Mother. While the bodyguards just stand behind Freya, making the guts of the man who accidentally hit Zoya shrivel and just bow his head.
"Sorry, Mom."
"I'm sorry about my daughter-in-law!" Freya emotions. What would he tell Ethan if something happened to Zoya?
"Sorry Ma'am." the man seemed to regret his carelessness.
"Yes, I'm not papa."
"Next time be careful, Mum!" sahut Freya, remind.
"Yes, Mom."
"Once again sorry. Excuse me, please,"
Zoya nodded, while Freya's breathing seemed messy. "Zoya is not papa, Mother. Just got hit by that doang,"
"The problem is that you fainted, and Mother did not dare to contact Ethan." annoyed Freya, Zoya just smiled at the worries of her mother-in-law.
A few seconds later Freya's gaze looked worriedly at the daughter-in-law. "But you're really okay, right?" Grab Zoya's hand and wipe it. Zoya nodded. "Yes, Zoya is okay Mother. Mother need not worry."
Freya breathed a sigh of relief, holding Zoya to walk. "Sorry Mother, well, Mother should not make sure you shop."
"It's not Mother's fault."
"Thank you for being worried and caring for Zoya" said Zoya sincerely, Freya turned her head, then smiled and nodded.
"Samely dear."
The two walked with four bodyguards to get out of the hospital building.
And elsewhere. Ethan smiles at a post on one of the article's author accounts where Zoya's familiarity with Freya is being hotly talked about at the moment.
Agyan, who saw his son smiling, peeked at the son's phone screen. He nodded in understanding, Ethan who was aware of the father's actions immediately turned off the phone and put it in the pocket behind his suit.
"What are you so fond of Zoya?" agyan asked, their negotiations regarding Agyan's business trip with Ethan to America are over, both of them will leave tomorrow morning.
"It's a habit." Ethan's telling me the origin.
Agyan rubbed his chin. Eyebrows. "Zoya, tuh, that's so pretty. You're very young too, aren't you Than?" sahut Agyan who makes Ethan frown does not grunt.
"May, lah, if Dad winks at your wife once in a while." Agyan's tease makes Ethan look upset.
"Dad, don't macem. Dad's stamina if playing basketball with Ethan has already lost."
"Oh, yeah, but I think Dad's vibes are more than you,"
"But Zoya likes Ethan!" the man doesn't want to lose.
"Where are you from?" agyan Fishing. This time Ethan was silent, even when delivering the woman this morning clearly Zoya said that she did not like Ethan yet.
"Yes, anyway Zoya belongs to Ethan. I already have Mommy, want Ethan Aduin to Mommy?" the threat made the father laugh and landed a pat on his shoulder.
"Eat it, if love is honest!"
"So-soan said 'ordinary'!" ledek Agyan while waltzing out of his room, leaving Ethan who rubbed his forehead because he had been caught wet by his father.
