Several times Rachel and Randy alike look at the watch on each other's wrists. The media crew had prepared in the conference room while Fahry had not yet arrived, or the man was not coming.
Ethan sighed, he just sat quietly. More precisely trying to stay calm. Rising from his seat, Ethan comes out of Rachel's room and walks into his own room defying his cell phone, then attaches it to his earlobe. The call is connected along with Ethan's footsteps arriving in his own room.
"Hallo."
"Hallo."
"Than's."
Ethan just kept quiet to hear the voice of the man he missed these two days. Zoya does not want to go home and Ethan can not force her, he himself has told the woman to be willing to wait for her to be ready.
"Ethan."
This time Ethan breathed. "What are you doing?"
"Hmm? I'm still in bed."
zoya's answer makes Ethan raise one hand where his gold-colored watch is coiled around the wrist. At nine in the morning, Ethan smiled.
"Well, wake up and have breakfast."
"I can do it all without orders."
"But I want you to listen."
Zoya stayed at the end. Soon the woman spoke. "Okay, I'm up, this brat's breakfast." Ethan nodded at hearing it. Again, he breathed. "I'm nervous."
"Rumpy?"
"Why?"
"I'm horrified, you want a press conference?"
"Hm."
"Make what? You shouldn't bother, sorry, Dad."
Both corners of Ethan's lips lifted. "What are you doing to apologize?"
"I don't bother, I admit this is all to myself." Ethan must know, if the answer makes Zoya's facial expression turn sad.
"And for you too" he continued.
"I want us to be comfortable without any problems." Ethan is silent, neither does Zoya speak. Ethan can only hear the woman's breath through a phone call.
"Zoya, now I want to ask you." said Ethan.
"You hear me?" Ethan made sure before asking.
"I'm a horror."
"The answer to my question is honest."
Ethan was silent for a moment, then .... "Do you love me?" Ethan closed his eyes, hoping to be anxious with the woman's answer at the other end. Maybe now is not the right time to ask, but at least if Zoya's answer is as expected, Ethan is sure to go through this problem very easily.
"If you answer 'no' you can disconnect the phone." Ethan isn't sure, but once the connection is completely disconnected. The man's hand slowly descended with a bland smile rising on his lips. Ethan had expected this, it was not easy for him to make Zoya feel the same as him.
A knock on the door of his room made Ethan look up, before long a female staff opened the door and stood there.
"Sir Ethan, the show needs to start right away."
"Have Fahry come?"
With a heavy heart the female staff shook their heads. Ethan's feelings are getting messed up, but Ethan has promised Zoya to solve this problem as soon as possible. Then Ethan will faithfully wait until Zoya loves him.
"How Sir?"
Ethan sighed, then nodded and began to step out of his room towards the press conference room. The clanking of incoming messages on the phone in his grasp makes Ethan oppose his phone. His eyes narrowed, before long both corners of his lips were pulled upwards with his head shaking slowly.
...Wifes...
...I love you with you. Shame to say...
Again, Ethan smiled. His feelings are much better now, even he feels ready if he has to face the world alone. Ah, naw. Must be with Zoya.
Ethan's footsteps towards his seat made the media swiftly take pictures of Ethan, flash blitz hit his handsome face.
"How's it?" Rachel asked with code. Ethan did not react, until he began his conversation. "I read several articles about how my marriage to Zoya Hardiswara was related. What do you expect?"
Ethan shut up for a while, then continued.
"I'm going to start things off with honesty here." sounded a bit of a fuss just after Ethan said it. The honesty? Maybe they question what it means.
"I'm with Zoya .., we did not have any relationship before. When I said that if we'd been dating for two years, it was all a lie." again, there was a commotion until then they went back to being quiet by themselves, some media crews are busy with their laptops to write down the statement Ethan made.
"We were trapped in my hotel room. Then the photo as we were about to enter the hotel room spread widely just like that. Make Zoya Hardiswara's reputation and the agency attacked by the media."
"I have a big role in AE RCH, of course I will not be silent to see the condition that is not controlled. I was directly involved with the matter."
"That's why I made plans to marry Zoya."
One person from the media seemed to raise his hand to ask, Ethan let the man speak.
"That means your marriage is just a charade, is there black on white?"
Ethan smiles. "The wedding is not a show. There is no contract of marriage agreement, any terms or agreements. Our marriage was normal like a couple in general and ...,"
"I love Zoya Hardiswara."
"We love each other, there's no drama whatsoever in our marriage."
"Then what about the news that is circulating, sir. Zoya Hardiswara became the third person in her own senior actress household. Is that true?"
Ethan is silent this time, he does not know what to say to the media. Even if Ethan knows everything, he hasn't talked about it with Fahry or Anggun.
Ethan can't just talk without the consent of the people. Now he feels very upset at Fahry who really didn't come. Ethan swore, at least he would throw one punch to Fahry's face for not taking responsibility for his actions.
Before long, a man who appears at the entrance attracts everyone's attention, as well as Ethan who distracts. Fahry stepped towards her with light steps.
Fahry thought about it until he was ready to speak to the media. As a sign of his apology to Zoya, though Fahry is not sure the woman will forgive him.
"Sir, don't let Anye watch tv today. Take him to play anywhere, I'll just take a minute."
"Yes, Good sir." Anye was sleeping after finishing her nap and taking a bath when Fahry was about to leave. He left Anye to his nanny.
Before you really leave. Fahry stepped towards his daughter's room. He sat on the edge of the bed looking at his daughter's closed eyes with a peaceful face. "Darling, sorry, Dad. I can't give you the perfect family yet, I'm sorry. It's all Dad's fault."
Fahry. "May you understand," Fahry landed a kiss on the forehead of his beloved daughter, gently rubbing the padlock cheek. And then it goes from there.
**
"Good day, I'm Fahry." Frey started talking. For anyone, it was her first time and she felt nervous. Everyone's attention points to Fahry, the man whose name is being hotly talked about for dating Zoya Hardiswara.
"I have a relationship with Zoya, we dated for a year."
Some AE RCH staff seemed surprised to hear the statement.
"It means Zoya's been dating people's husbands for all these years."
"Didn't Zoya know that Mr. Fahry had a family?"
"It looks so."
"I kept my marital status a secret from Zoya" their attention again led to Fahry continuing his statement.
"In a sense, Zoya doesn't know if I'm married and married. And .., he's innocent. Zoya isn't third because she doesn't know anything."
"What is your motive for being in a relationship with Zoya. Do you have a point?"
The question made Fahry smile. He also does not know for sure the reason, at first he just does not intend to be interested in Zoya. But his heart is not so, so he greedy wants to be with Zoya and keep her marital status a secret.
"I didn't have any motive when I approached Zoya. I just sincerely love Zoya and want to be together with Zoya." Fahry's blatant statement again provoked boisterous conference room, how not, it's obvious they're all wondering. How can a family man easily say this in front of the media. Fahry got a lot of scorn.
Ethan silently clenched his hands. He felt a little upset.
"I realize, if what I did was wrong and also harmed some parties. Especially Zoya and my little family. I apologise profusely." said Fahry, full of regrets. Fahry is quite sure if his statement will reap various pros and cons in the community, but Fahry already greeted the truth he wanted to say.
"Then how did Anggun Mother's response sow this problem? Why did he who should be here not come?" a question from one of the media crew made Fahry slowly turn his head to the seat beside him which was empty. The seat should belong to Anggun.
"I'm here!"
Just like the arrival of Fahry, the arrival of Anggun also attracted a lot of attention. Kilarltan blitz hit Anggun who stepped towards the seat reserved for him.
Graceful seemed to sigh, but she calmly stared at the camera that had been since the constellation lit up.
The night after the summit, Anggun saw a woman standing in front of the gate of the mansion with a car parked there.
Get him out of the car and approach Selin, Zoya Hardiswara's manager. Gracefully recognized.
"Can we talk for a second?'
After Anggun nodded in agreement at Selin's request, the two headed for a booth not far from the Anggun apartment. Sitting face to face with Selin who seemed to sigh before speaking. He knew the time was not right to discuss this with Grace, but sooner was much better than delayed.
"Here, I'm guilty of co-hiding Fahry's marital status with Zoya. Sorry," Selin started what he wanted to talk about.
"I know Grace was disappointed, angry and hurt. But at least I understand why Fahry did it."
Gracefully seemed faithful listening.
"I know there is no justification for Fahry's actions. But when viewed from the corner of the field men. Obviously it's gonna be different, ma'am."
"Fahry often exchanged stories with me. I know enough about how your married life is going, but I have no intention of interfering in any way. I'm just a listener to Fahry."
"I also know what he did was wrong. But, didn't you have the intention to give her a chance?"
"At least for Anye."
"I'm sure Mom's little heart also says, if things aren't just Fahry's fault."
Gracefully looked at the media crew waiting for him to open his voice. He sighed. "You asked me how I thought?"
Some of the media crew nodded, waiting for Anggun to continue his sentence.
"As a wife obviously I feel hurt from being betrayed. Disappointed? Sure, I'm very disappointed."
"As my husband has said. Zoya doesn't know anything, she's just a victim. And I don't deserve to hate him, I'm sure if from the beginning Zoya knew Fahry was a family man, then he would definitely stay away from Fahry" Anggun said, at length. Make them quickly draw conclusions and blame Fahry completely.
"I know Fahry's actions were very wrong. I do not accept betrayal. That's why we agreed to divorce." Anggun said it steadily, provoking a pagan reaction from everyone present in the conference room, including Ethan there. He turned to Fahry who seemed to close his eyes.
"But after I thought about it, Fahry deserves a chance" he said. Makes Fahry look in disbelief.
"I also contributed to the mistake Fahry made. I'm not perfect being a wife and mother to my child."
**
"Thank you for coming." said Ethan as he reached out to Fahry as soon as the press conference was over.
"I should have done this." Fahry received the man's hand.
However, Ethan feels the need to say thank you to Fahry.
"Oh, well, what I said in the cafe yesterday ..., it's all a lie" continued Fahry who made Ethan pause for a moment, then he remembered the thing that upset him half to death yesterday.
"No problem, I know the truth." said relaxed and indifferent as usual.
"It looks like Zoya is with the right person."
"Of course."
"If that's what I'm first." Ethan nodded, Fahry passed from before him. Ethan let out a sigh of relief remembering that this matter was resolved.
"Zoya, everything about us, will start now."
