Not Ordinary Love

A Determination Without Reason

"Let me be fat."

**

Rival is preparing his resignation letter from the company when he finds out that Zoya and Ethan are enjoying a vacation in an unknown place. The people of Zoya's agency and Ethan's company keep a secret of the place where they enjoy the holidays in accordance with the wishes of the two people.

Rival did not want to be bothered in the slightest, it had absolutely no business with him. But suddenly he feels the need to go to the place where Ethan is now enjoying with Zoya so the first step he does is to find the whereabouts of Randy as Ethan's secretary.

"I'm sorry Mr. Rival, but Mr. Ethan really forbade me to tell anyone where he is." Randy has tried to reject the curiosity of Rival that is so passionate even though he has said it repeatedly if Ethan does not want his vacation spot with Zoya in the know people, especially the media.

"There's something important I have to say to Ethan, please say it!"

"I won't bother them." Rival did not give up on pleading, inwardly cursing himself, lamenting the stupid things he did for the absurd. Because he also did not know the reason why he had to follow Zoya with Etan. Or maybe more precisely ..., want to catch up with Naina.

"But can't Mr. Rival, or Mr. Ethan will be mad at me later."

"I will be responsible. I assure you he won't be angry, please tell me where they are."

Randy was silent for a moment, looking at Rival with a look of incomprehension, while the man's face was very begging to him which made him finally just sigh resignedly.

It is not easy for Rival to arrive at a village that according to Randy is Naina's hometown as well as a place where Zoya and Ethan deliberately enjoy vacation time there.

He asked people at a dragon fruit plantation where Naina's house was, lucky to have her there welcome and friendly, the villagers easily tell him where Naina's home address is. But unfortunately, a middle-aged woman who introduces herself as Aunt Naina says that Ethan, Zoya with Naina have not returned from the dragon fruit plantation.

"So I just passed by there, but they weren't there." said Rival, then tried to remember and convince himself if he did not see Zoya or Ethan there.

"Maybe they're going to the beach."

"Beach?" Rival scrunched his forehead. Then drove his car to the beach referred to Aunt Naina after saying goodbye to the middle-aged woman.

Armed with a little hint if the road to the beach is to turn right before they enter the dragon fruit plantation or turn left if on the way to Naina's house.

Rival did not think that the road he was going to take to the beach was a hilly road at which time he was carrying a car that would not be able to cross the route, Rival sighed. Until this moment where he was burned by the sun in a village that even he had just stopped by, he still did not understand the reason why he came to this place.

Rival took his sunglasses after sighing long enough, he stepped down the street to catch up with the three men until he met them just as he was coming down from the hill.

From a distance, he sees Naina being swept away by Ethan as well as Zoya, making Rival immediately accelerate his steps to arrive between them.

Just by looking at the situation, although Rival does not know the cause, but he knows what happened, especially when he heard Zoya who told Ethan to hold Naina so that Rival spoke up.

"Let me be fat."

Zoya and Ethan turned, and so did Naina. They were quite surprised to find Rival there. Where did that man come from all of a sudden?

"His leg is sprained" tells Ethan, who's not glued to Rival for long enough. Rival nods, takes over Naina's hand from Ethan and grabs the girl's waist. Ethan soon grabs his wife's hand.

Zoya need not be excessively surprised or angry because of the arrival of Rival, instead she must thank God for sending the man at the right time. Although it remained undeniable, Zoya wondered, what was the underlying reason that made Rival there? Work requirement?

Zoya frowned as Ethan suddenly crouched down on her back. "Good!" tell the man.

"I want to walk." Zoya refuses subtly.

"Let's get there fast." Ethan said he didn't want to know.

"So my path is slow?"

"I don't want you to cape. The beach was still quite far away." finally the man revealed the reason. So, in fact, the two humans are creatures that are difficult to be sensitive in circumstances like now.

Ethan grabs Zoya's hand to go up to her back, finally the woman complies and wants to be carried by Ethan.

Under the scorching sun, with the occasional wind blowing blow away the hair. Ethan and Zoya continue on their journey.

"No strength?" ask Zoya.

"Strong darling."

"I'm heavy, huh?"

"No."

"Don't lie."

"Just a little–"

"Oh, you're going down."

"No, I'm strong carry you anywhere."

"Where are you going? Dubai's? Turkish?"

Ethan's question makes Zoya laugh, the woman puts her chin on one of Ethan's shoulders with a hand that hugs the husband's neck.

While the two people behind them stared at each other with bumbling gazes. Naina was clearly wondering why Rival was there. Rival himself is worried. Naina's gaze kills the vocabulary she has prepared since Jakarta when she arrives and meets Naina.

"Let me carry you." said Rival, expelling the silence that occurred between them for tens of seconds, even the sun that shone was quite scorching if they only kept silent.

"I walk alone."

"Just so." Rival releases Naina's hand but the girl is about to fall down, which makes Rival look at her with intents, Naina subdues her gaze, uncomfortable and afraid of Rival, but a few seconds later he was like flying into the air when Rival raised his body abruptly.

Naina resigned, but once she knew Rival was looking at her with legs that continued to step, Naina did not dare to return her gaze. Naina just stared blankly ahead, completely ignoring Rival until finally the man decided his gaze and focused on the streets so that he did not fall and fall later.

the two just fell silent, really a situation that made both of them more awkward, until finally for the sake of appreciating Rival, Naina asked the man.

"Why did Rival come here?"

"I'm using a mobi" he replied lightly.

"Not that." Naina knows that Rival is sensitive to what she means. But it seems that the man did not deliberately tell the reason why he came to Naina's hometown.

Rival looked at Naina's pouting face with the answer she gave.

"I have some business with Ethan." lied the man later.

"That means after the business with Mr Ethan is finished, Mas Rival will go straight home ?"

Feeling unacceptable to Naina's question as if urging her to go home immediately then Rival looked at the girl.

"What if I stay at your house?"

"Staying?" Naina frowned.
