Holla, I am back.

Zoya is the happiest person to know about Naina's pregnancy. His days were filled with smiles and laughter. All the needs of the girl he fulfilled well in order to keep the mother and baby.
When Zoya brings in a private doctor for Naina and checks the girl's gestational age, the doctor says Naina's gestational age is entering its seventh week. Zoya smiled, remembering that she was out of town. It means Ethan and Naina are really having fun as long as he's not around.
The woman who was playing a mobile phone after Selin told her exactly when the manager's four-monthly thanksgiving event was held was staring at her husband who was changing clothes.
He carved a big smile to see the person he loved the most. What he was worried about excessively did not actually happen completely. Ethan does not turn away from him at all, the man remains Ethan who loves and takes care of his feelings.
The man does not necessarily change drastically even though he will have a child from Naina. Makes Zoya feel relieved so there is nothing to worry about.
Ethan who had just turned his back frowned when he saw his smiling wife looking at him.
"What's wrong?" Ethan asked with a frown on his forehead. He walked over to Zoya and sat on the edge of the bed. Instead of denying, Zoya grabs the man's hand and holds it, making Ethan even more astonished, later, his wife's attitude is ten times warmer since Naina became pregnant.
Ethan quietly exhales slowly in light of the fact that the baby Naina is carrying is not her flesh and blood. The baby will be Rival's child and Zoya will not be able to have it.
"Where's your shoot?" ethan asked then as the woman simply smiled looking at him without saying anything.
"Mm, smooth. Tomorrow–" this time Zoya looked at the man doubtfully, Ethan narrowed his eyes. "Don't make me curious, dear."
"Sir Irpan said kiss scene tomorrow." the woman told in a doubtful tone. Ethan is speechless, Zoya takes a script and hands it to Ethan.
"You've read it yourself, 'kan and gini-rich scenes will exist." Zoya watches the face of the husband who turns sour even though he still leaves traces of good looks there.
"Let me check my schedule tomorrow."
"Well?"
"I want to go to your set." the man replied in a confident tone that made Zoya gap in place.
A flash of events as Ethan messes up his filming with Edrin early in their marriage and even becomes a stunt double for the kiss scene that Edrin was supposed to do across Zoya's mind.
Ethan will come to the set and see the filming process, meaning the man will make a mess.
"You promised you wouldn't interfere with my film project." Zoya shows a watchful and threatening look. But the husband just put his shoulders back and lay down on the bed.
"Ethan, you promised me dear." the woman whined and Ethan didn't care.
***
The next day, Ethan actually comes to the set when Zoya finishes her first take on the day. He then did a kiss scene with Edrin.
The woman looked up as Ethan stood right behind her who was sitting in the reclining chair while reading the next script.
"Are you really dating?" Zoya pursed her lips. Ethan leaned his body, making the distance between the two faces.
"I have to make sure myself if your co-star does not take advantage of this opportunity."
"Your mind is really bad, anyway." the woman again subdued her gaze and read the script.
Ethan also re-enforced his body and put on an indifferent look while folding his hands on his chest.
"Mister Zoya, Mr. Director said two minutes to take." Naina who appeared out of nowhere told him, Zoya nodded and smiled at the girl. Naina also smiled, but slowly her smile faded as her eyes looked at Ethan who was behind Zoya, only to notice the man's presence.
Naina just nodded politely at the man and stood beside Zoya.
"Sir Ethan,"
Arfat, who was on set after a few days without visiting, greeted Ethan as soon as he saw the man. Ethan carved a faint smile at the film's producer.
"I don't know if Mr. Ethan is coming" she said feeling bad about Zoya Hardiswara's husband.
"No problem. Just ignore me, I'm only here for a while" said Ethan who makes Arfat look at Zoya who is cool reading the script. Arfat remembers that today Zoya was going to do a kiss scene with Edrin, perhaps Ethan came for it.
"Well then, Mr. Ethan, I'll go first."
"Yes." Yeah."
"Zoya, spirit." Arfat gives his support to Zoya before it passes. Zoya smiled and nodded politely at the producer.
"Zoya." one of the crew called Zoya and gave her a cue to get the woman ready for the shoot. Zoya nods, moves away from her seat and is only silent as a stylist tidies up her hairdo.
"This is your first time being your wife. I need preparation." Zoya. Ethan simply rolled his eyeballs with his hands folded around his chest. But the look in his eyes was on Zoya's lips, hers which today he had to let others touch.
"I take it first, well." Zoya briefly touched the man's arm and passed, Ethan followed him and stood behind Irpan as the director who would set the scene. Irpan briefly greeted the man but Ethan first patted Irpan on the shoulder and told the man to focus only on the scene that Zoya and Edrin were going to do.
"Your husband came?" edrin asked as soon as he saw Ethan standing behind Irpan complete with an intimidating look as he looked at her.
Zoya looks at the direction of Edrin's view where she finds her husband there along with her scheduler, Selin and Naina and the rest of the crew.
"Yes." the woman said briefly with a thumping chest. It felt like he was nervous if the scene he was about to do with Edrin was witnessed by the man.
"Aren't you papa?" Zoya then asked Edrin, Edrin shook her head. Afterwards the man said briefly, "no problem." the man smiled, thinking as if Ethan was not an obstacle for him even though the man witnessed what he was about to do.
The two people similarly sighed and prepared themselves when Irpan told him to prepare.
"Action!"
As Irpan was already exclaiming for them to start the scene. Zoya and Edrin as Rain and Angkasa look at each other until Edrin grabs both sides of Zoya's face slowly and gently.
The atmosphere was suddenly silent, everyone watching seemed to sigh. While Ethan was already with an anxious look biting his finger at the lips of the wife and Edrin who had almost touched.
"Guts!"
Childish right? It was a scene that was supposed to take a little time with one take but Ethan made it fall apart.
"She promised." Zoya clucked to herself as the man stopped filming at will. A disappointed look was evident in the crew's eyes but they dared not look at Ethan.
"Sorry," that's all Ethan can say with a flat face. He reflexively shouted the cut because he could not bear to see the old Edrin do it. Randy next to her clucked while covering his face. His boss' temperament had not changed at all.
"Huh." Edrin in front of Zoya seemed to sigh. Zoya is only able to give an apologetic look at the co-star.
Edrin glimpsed Ethan, the two men both shining glances full of glint of anger. There was a mischievous grin on Edrin's lips so Ethan never cut off their gaze.
"Zoya, Edrin, ready. We're not gonna be." Irpan exclaimed, the two people nodded and went back to prepare.
As a result, in the end. Edrin and Zoya repeatedly do the take. Initially Edrin who suddenly stopped when the lips both almost or even already touch.
Or even Zoya who suddenly felt nervous. Moreover, even though she did not see her husband, she felt that Ethan kept glaring at her. It makes Zoya feel uncomfortable. He feels disturbed.
"Sorry, sorry." Zoya bowed to all staff and crew over the first take failure incident and made them have to take it repeatedly.
"Sorry, yeah." then the woman turned to Edrin as her co-star. Maybe the man was tired, just like him.
"No papa, I like it." Edrin said and chuckled lightly, making the crew laugh at the man. But upon seeing Ethan's gaze, everyone eased their laughter and dashed their smiles. Zoya is only able to smile stiffly.
***
Zoya immediately sat down and grabbed a bottle of cold drink that Naina thrust out as soon as she finished her take with Edrin after spending quite some time. She saw the face of her husband who was sour and did not speak a word to him after he finished taking with Edrin.
Naina who was among them just fell silent– while Selin was talking to Irpan and some crew.
Naina is about to hand over the drink to Ethan but hesitates to see the man's unfriendly look.
"Sir Ethan, Ms. Zoya. Excuse me for a moment." said Naina, she was understanding enough to let the two people talk to each other.
The third minute after the two of them left, Zoya looked at her husband on the spot.
"If it wasn't for you messing up the first take, I'm the same Edrin wouldn't have to take it over and over again." Zoya spoke up and did not want to be blamed. She knew her husband would be angry about it.
Ethan did not say, he just got up from his seat with an indifferent look. "I have to go to the agency now." the man seemed reluctant to discuss the thing he witnessed a moment ago.
Zoya knows her husband is upset. But whose fault is it? Zoya did not even ask the man to come and watch her scene with Edrin.
Zoya gets up from her seat and hugs Ethan at a glance. "Jude, be careful." The man sighed, showing his annoyance.
"I'm annoyed with Zoya."
"Yes, I know, eat it you have to be careful. Control yourself as well." said the woman. Ethan again just sighed again, apparently it is very heavy to have a wife whose status is a famous star, he grabbed Zoya's chin and looked at the lips of the woman.
Zoya smiles. With a resigned look, Ethan landed his kiss there. At least, the trace of Edrin's lips that stopped on his wife's lips had been cleaned.
