Not Ordinary Love

One Day Faster

How long has Zoya not set foot in her father-in-law's house? It feels like it's been a while. Tonight, he could not escape Freya's invitation to stay at the woman's house. Zoya complies and follows.

The atmosphere of the house of the in-laws is still the same as before. The difference was, there was no Arasy who welcomed his arrival with a face as bright as the sun this time, though, there was only Agyan who was reading a book in the main room of the house and then moved from his comfortable position when he saw his wife coming home with her daughter-in-law.

"Zoya," reprimanded Agyan with a smile full of welcome. Zoya smiled and immediately greeted Agyan then let the man clutch his body for a while.

"Dad how are you?"

"good. How about yourself?"

Zoya smiled before then answering. "Good, Dad."

As the two men chatted, Freya patted Zoya on the shoulder and bid farewell to the kitchen. Letting Zoya be alone with Agyan in the main room.

"Dad hear soon you'll be back filming the movie." said the man as the two sat on the sofa. Zoya nodded, agreeing with what her father-in-law said.

"Yes Father, producer Pak Arfat and director Mr. Irpan." replied the woman who made Agyan smile proudly, she knew Arfat well and she opened the film producer carelessly. He is very cool and experienced, and so is Irpan.

The man in his forties has directed many famous films.

"Waw, squirming from who the producer and director are, the film will definitely be very cool. Plus the actress is amazing." her praise that makes Zoya flattered.

"Dad can do it." Agyan just laughed in response to Zoya's lacklusterness. "Dad do'ain. Let the film succeed as expected." Agyan nodded.

"You want to go for a nginep?" ask the man later. Zoya replied with a nod. "Ethan?" asked Agyan again with a few folds on his forehead.

"Ethan out of town,"

Freya pulled out her phone after she was in the kitchen. His finger looked agile looking for Ethan contact until then found him, then he would press the phone icon, incoming calls from Rachel had already interrupted him first. Once silent, Freya then shifted the green icon and placed the flat object in her ear.

"Hallo," he said hello first.

"Freys,"

"What's Rachel?"

"Your son didn't go to work for a few days. Where's she?" rachel asked at the same end which made Freya instantly speechless with a frown on her forehead.

Shouldn't she be Ethan's boss, Rachel knows where the guy is going?

"She– she has business." Freya finally spoke.

"Ethan likes habits, he should have confirmation to the company. What does he have to do? Randy doesn't know where he is." Rachel looked grumbling at the end there with her distinctive voice.

"Let's tell Ethan, tell him to take care of his business." said Freya, calming Rachel who seems to have been upset with Ethan's behavior who often behaved arbitrarily.

"If she's home, tell her I want to talk to her in person."

"Okey, I'll tell him."

After the call was cut off, Freya returned to her original intention to contact the son. On the third ring, the call gets a response.

"Hallo Bun," Ethan's voice immediately greeted him.

"So Mommy Rachel called Mommy, said you have not been to work for a few days, you also do not have any confirmation to the company. Where are you really, Than?" oceh Freya without further ado.

"Zoya says you're out of town. What business is it?"

"You also let Zoya out at home alone! Don't you think about the risk?"

"Your household assistant also returned home at the wrong time. How could it coincide, anyway, Than." Freya blabbering nonstop, Ethan at the other end is just listening, you know if the mother is very upset at the moment.

After that, Freya exhaled a rough breath, indicating that her anger was over and she could already hold herself back.

"Where are you really?" freya asked again, this time the woman's tone sounded soft as usual.

"Yes, Ethan's out of town, Mommy. There's business to be done." Ethan says as necessary.

"If it's a job, why doesn't Randy come with you?"

"Ethan can take care of this for himself Mother." as usual Ethan spoke softly and politely to the mother.

"You didn't lie to Mother, did you, Than? You're not hiding anything from Mother, are you?" freya felt parno.

"You're the same Zoya no longer noisier, right?" ask again. He was worried that his son and daughter-in-law were still at odds about the child and made the two quarrel so they had to stay away from each other.

"Mother calm down, Ethan's with Zoya, we're fine. You don't have to worry, Ethan's coming home soon." Ethan relaxes. Hearing her son's reassuring voice, Freya's feelings began to calm down. At least, her son's household was fine.

"Mother ngajakin Zoya make nginep at home. Mommy worries that she's home alone" tells Freya.

"Hmm, where is Zoya now?"

"He's in the main room of the house, talking to Dad again."

"Well, Ethan took Zoya to Mommy. Two days later Ethan's home,"

"Well, take good care of yourself."

"Yes Mother."

While elsewhere, Rival who was attending a reunion event during his High School seemed to be enjoying a banquet served at the event venue.

Rival is happy to meet his friends again at this reunion event. Given if on an ordinary day they already have their respective busyness and very difficult to meet especially interact intensely as in the past school.

Rival spread his gaze around all corners, a reunion event held at a restaurant that had been rented was apparently filled with his contemporaries. Almost all of Rival's friends already have wives and children. Perhaps, only he was not married until he was the person who got the most attention from his friends to be betrothed and mated bujang weathered.

"There's a friend of mine in Val's office, his son's pretty, nice too. You may meet sometime. But she was the widow of one child." one of Rival's comrades circulated his good initiative to Rival, making the other frenzied because of the mentioned status.

"If there were no girls?" Rival actually served the snobbery of his friend.

"Well, if it's a girl, there's one. But the Boss was it." What the blond guy said created a booming laugh at Rival's desk.

After that, the man just kept quiet and listened while his opponents were still discussing about the woman he was about to introduce. Sometimes he only laughed when some of his friends let out jokes that invite laughter and stomach pain.

At least, even if he is afraid of failure for fear of rejection. He should try it first.

"Mother's mad at you?" zoya asks Ethan on the other end when the husband calls her and tells her that half an hour ago he called her and asked her whereabouts. Time was at half-eight at that time.

"No scolding, just a little raise his voice." the man replied resignedly and made Zoya laugh.

For a moment, there was only silence between them. Zoya walks towards the balcony door and opens the curtain, she gazes out where the atmosphere looks dark and quiet.

"You're not sleepy?" Ethan asked at the end of there. Zoya shook her head.

"It's late in the afternoon, I don't want to sleep yet." he said later. Again. Silently enveloped, Zoya thinks that this is a good opportunity for her to talk to Ethan about Edrin who will be her co-star in her latest film.

So she began to dare to talk to her husband.

"Than,"

"Dear, one second, yeah. I'll call again."

"What's wrong?"

"There's a little problem, I'll call again." said Ethan a little rush and then disconnect the phone. Zoya is only resigned, she stares at her phone as soon as her call with Ethan ends and concludes that the time may not be right.

Posting one of the famous directors on an official instagram account successfully received a flood of responses from social media users. Especially fans of Zoya Hardiswara and Edrin Nicolas.

A photo shows the director being with the two stars and the famous producer Arfat Nahlil. Making fans of the actors and actors question the truth of a film that is predicted to star Zoya Hardiswara paired with Edrin Nicolas.

Of course, that is good news for fans considering the chemistry built by the two stars really hypnotize the audience. Especially for the fans who are still haunted by the characters of Azriel and Ansel who previously starred Edrin and Zoya and boomed in his time.

In just under an hour, the post has received nearly one million likes and hundreds of thousands of comments and is shared by thousands of accounts. A very positive response even long before the screening of the film.

"Zoy, this is absolutely fantastic." the first sentence Selin told Zoya when the two met at the shooting location. The look on Selin's face was so happy, the woman looked flowery and made Zoya happy to see it. He has also seen the post and of course Zoya also feels very proud because it received a positive response from the public.

"I can't wait to shoot" said Zoya, Selin nodded in agreement.

After that, Selin again busy reading some comments in the post. Occasionally seemed excited when reading comments full of support from the fans of Zoya and Edrin for the two people.

"Oh, yes. After this you want to be immediately escorted to your in-laws' house or we take a walk first?" selin asked later, he kept his phone and focused on Zoya.

"Bak doesn't need to stop me. Said Mommy wants to pick him up." said Zoya considering that this morning Freya advised if the mother-in-law would invite him to make a pilgrimage to Tommy's tomb.

"Oh, that, yaudah." Selin resigned.

When the time is at half-four in the afternoon, Zoya has arrived with Freya at Tomny–kakek Agyan's tomb.

Zoya sows flowers and puts down a bouquet of flowers she carries with Freya. When the mother-in-law just rubbed Tommy's headstone with a soft look, Zoya remained there and rubbed Freya's back to calm the woman down. Even when Freya manages to drop her tears, Zoya stays there to accompany Freya.

Freya was not at all saddened by Tommy's absence in the midst of her husband. He believed that death was the creator's inevitable decree. Only, it felt like it had been so long considering his meeting with Agyan back then after there had been no communication between them for a year.

The first meeting took place here, in the place of a thousand sorrows, as Tommy returned to the bosom of the creator. Without feeling it, it had already passed for so long.

Freya and Zoya return home when the time is seven o'clock. Agyan who was already anxious waiting for his wife's return immediately welcomed Freya's arrival with a worried look on his face.

"Why can't your phone be contacted? I'm worried."

"My phone doesn't have a battery,"

"You'll be able to charge in the car, honey."

"I forgot, Honey."

Zoya is a mosquito repellent between her two parents-in-laws. But he just resigned without disturbing both.

"I'm the same Zoya ran out of Grandpa Tommy's grave." said Freya later with a faint smile on her lips. Agyan was silent for a moment, then rubbed the top of his wife's head. Afterwards, the two people's views turned to Zoya.

"Dad, Mother, if so Zoya to the room first, well." said Zoya who then immediately passed to her room when Agyan with Freya nodded.

"You should have told me that you were there, so that I could suck you up." said Agyan after his daughter-in-law passed.

"Well, we'll be there sometime together, yeah."

Time showed at half-tenpm when Zoya had just closed the balcony door after she caught the night breeze outside her room. The door of his room suddenly just opened, displaying the figure of the man that these few days was far away from him.

"Ethan," Zoya still with a surprised look. He nailed on the spot as Ethan closed the door and locked it. Zoya hasn't really focused on what's in her mind and what's she looking at right now?

Or is he hallucinating? Shouldn't Ethan come home tomorrow and be home in the afternoon? Then, who is the person who is currently in front of him with an unreadable face

"You–" Zoya grew nervous as the figure stood just a few centimetres away from her. Moreover, as the man grabbed her waist and grabbed Zoya's lips.

"Aren't you coming home tomorrow?" zoya asks as Ethan creates some distance between them.

"Why? You're not happy that I'm home?"

Zoya shook her head slowly, her heart pounding at the look on Ethan's face that wasn't supposed to be.

Because in the shadow of Zoya, when the man came home later, his face was full of smiles when he met Zoya again. But what she saw at the moment was really not what Zoya expected.

The man seemed to be being ..., jealous. And the expression that dominated him the most was anger.

"Not that, I just want to know the reason you came home a day more cepet, there is what–" even Zoya is not finished with her sentence when it suddenly crosses her mind if maybe Ethan has seen the post that is being discussed.

Zoya's estimate was corroborated when the man began to open his voice. "Edrin Nicolas."

"What do you mean you didn't tell me that?"

TB

TBL TBL Fear Banget Lhoo. Haha
