Not Ordinary Love

Press Conference (2)

Zoya knows, it's very difficult for both Ethan and Rival's parents to accept the complicated facts. However, that was the fate that happened and could not be bargained for.

Freya was unconscious for a long time. Meanwhile, Agyan, Ethan, Rival and Rayn negotiate a solution until they reach an agreement if Ethan must divorce Naina.

Ethan agrees, as well as Naina, that there is nothing else they need to keep, moreover Rival will take full responsibility for Naina and the child in her womb.

"I have to rush to the agency so as not to be late." said Zoya to the husband when they were still watching Freya who lay unconscious.

"You're leaving with Ethan. Let Aunt take care of your Mother." Vina gave advice and offered help. Zoya turns to Ethan before nodding.

"Tante Vina is right, you don't have to worry." Ethan convinced. Then took his wife. "Let me accompany you to prepare." he said, who then took Zoya to their room.

"Mak zoya."

Zoya and Ethan stop their steps at the stairs. Seeing the look on Naina's face and groaning if there's anything the girl needs to talk to her. Ethan said goodbye to the two men and passed first to climb one by one ladder.

"What's wrong?" zoya asks with a thin smile, but Naina just glazed over, slowly Zoya's gaze in front of her blurred and her tears fall without her being able to hold back.

"Why Naina?" zoya asks with a big smile and makes Naina feel guilty.

"Sir Zoya" there is much that Naina wants to say, but it seems that she will not be able to, but her voice is blocked and she is unable to say anything.

"I don't know what to say, I feel so guilty about Zoya. Ma'am Zoya can't forgive me, ma'am."

"Naina–"

"I'm evil Ma'am, I don't know myself very well. I really don't know thank you, I–"

"Naina's enough!" the woman's tone went up to make Naina stop. But the next few seconds, his gaze weakened. He grabbed Naina's hand and grabbed her. The girl's hand felt cold.

"You're not wrong no matter what Naina, don't feel guilty. From the beginning, I pushed it all too hard and sacrificed your feelings without me knowing that you could fall in love with someone else."

"You don't have to feel guilty, Naina." Zoya shook her head. "You're not wrong."

Naina was silent, her gaze downward, she firmly bit her lips. "I want to be honest with one thing Zoya" he said later which made Zoya silent for a moment.

"I know Zoya's sister would be upset if she knew this."

The girl looked up and looked at Naina. "I ..., I–"

"You don't have to say anything, I know everything Naina." intercept Zoya with a calm smile. Naina stared at Zoya with a look of disbelief.

"Mbak–"

"I know you don't have to say anything."

***

After her conversation with Naina is over, Zoya catches up with Ethan to the room. The man had apparently prepared her clothes. Smiling greeted Zoya's arrival as soon as the door opened.

Zoya just smiled thinly, saying goodbye to the husband to tidy up. There wasn't much chatter going on between the two people while inside the room.

Ethan is more silent and so is Zoya who chooses not to say anything. Her husband only watched as she dressed up and Zoya just stared at the reflection of the man in the mirror.

"What do you want to say?" ask Zoya later. Awaken the man's daydream. Zoya turned around, looking at the husband who seemed to want to tell her something.

Ethan smiled wryly at the wife. Apparently Zoya is so sensitive to his attitude. "I just wanted to ask you one thing. I was worried about it, Zoya."

"What?"

"You're not leaving me, are you?"

"Why do you think I'm going to leave you?"

"My feelings are not calm. You're not leaving me, are you, Zoya?" the man's gaze began to look panicked.

"You know for yourself Zoya, I can't be without you."

Zoya smiled at her husband's words. The woman's eyes looked glassy, but Zoya also seemed to hold her back so that her tears would not spill.

"Tell me you won't leave me, won't Zoya?"

Zoya was silent, before long she smiled and replied. "Alexa said, there is nothing to defend anymore from our household–"

"Sayang–"

"If defending both makes us hurt, why continue?"

"Zoya, please don't make me anxious this time."

Zoya tetsy smiled, tears that managed to escape and creek on her cheeks immediately she tepis. "You're ready, don't let the media question your whereabouts and assume you're a coward. I don't want them to think macem-macem and ugly ugly are you anymore."

Ethan got up from his seat. "That's not important Zoya. Now just tell me, you won't leave me I'm, won't Zoya?" Ethan pulled the woman's hand.

His eyes were pleading with Zoya. Zoya looked back at the man, nodding her head. Then he hugged Ethan and rested his head on the man's chest. "Even I can't leave you, Ethan."

"If I leave you alone, I will never find you again."

***

The arrival of Zoya and Ethan to the press conference room gets full attention from the media crew who are waiting for their presence to clarify the scandal that befell Zein Ethan Maheswarry with assistant Zoya Hardiswara.

"Are you okay?" Selin whispered before letting Zoya speak. The woman nodded reassuring her manager.

"Bak already got Somi's address, Mbak himself who will interrogate him later." the woman whispered again, again Zoya just nodded her head before then away from Zoya.

Zoya sighed, as she was preparing to aim the microphone, Randy approached her with a sheet of paper. "These are the letters that Ethan asked for." he said, put it on the table and then passed away after Zoya thanked him and stood at the entrance with several security staff on duty to secure the press conference.

The media crew was very impatient to hear Zoya open her voice, as well as the public who watched the live broadcast of the press conference through the television screen and through the official Instagram account of the agency AE RCH.

"Good morning everyone." Zoya greets you first when she opens her voice.

"I am Zoya Hardsiwara, wife of Ethan Maheswarry. These few days, I was out of the country for filming."

"Here, I will confirm the truth about the dark relationship that occurred between my husband and also my assistant." at length. Honestly, he was nervous and could not imagine how the public would react when he heard what he would say later.

Ethan turns to the woman, then holds Zoya's hand under the table, making the woman also turn and carve a smile on the husband.

"I know that the news is quite troubling because you know Ethan as a good and loyal man."

"And I'm also sure you're feeling sorry for me because I was being played with." Zoya was silent for a while. Then ... "True, my husband is faithful. Very loyal, but the fact about his relationship with my assistant–it is indeed a truth."

Suddenly the woman's statement made everyone shocked and wondered at each other. Begigu was also the agency staff that was in the conference room.

"What do you mean Ethan with your assistant is indeed dating?" one of the media asked to represent everyone.

Zoya smiled for a moment before then replying. "Not dating. But relationships are more than that." Zoya then took a paper that was handed by Randy and showed it to the media who immediately got a stir from them.

A flash of blitz leads to a document containing the marriage papers belonging to Ethan and Naina.

"This is a marriage letter between Ethan and Naina, my assistant." tell the woman that got everyone into an uproar. The comment column also filled the live broadcast on the official AE RCH agency instagram account since one minute of the broadcast took place.

"Maybe you'll be very confused, that's why I'm going to tell you this in detail."

"But earlier, I asked you to stop commenting and insulting my husband. I don't take it with that." he said with a smirk smile, Ethan beside him just stared at the woman.

Once in the room, Zoya spoke again after taking a deep breath.

"A few months ago, when I was pregnant with my future son and Ethan, I had an accident. Severe enough to even make me have to lose our baby candidate and even lose one ovary."

"It makes me very hurt because we will have a hard time having children. I have also had a miscarriage before."

"We lost our son twice."

"Me and Ethan were devastated. While I know Ethan really wants the presence of a child, so do I." Zoya paused her sentence for a moment. Apparently, when you think back to that time, it felt so difficult. Ethan next to her clasped the woman's hand again and smiled to strengthen Zoya.

"When I was desperate to get pregnant, I finally found a solution where I needed a woman who had to conceive my husband's child."

"That's why I asked my husband to marry Naina."

Each woman's statement made everyone shocked to the point of being speechless, only able to listen to Zoya's statement with an excited curiosity.

"I arranged the wedding here. I asked my husband to be in a relationship with another woman."

"Even I arranged their honeymoon."

"My husband doesn't cheat, doesn't play back from me. All the closeness you see between my husband and Naina, all under my watch."

"If there's someone to blame for this incident, then that person is me."

"Ethan with Naina is just a victim of my selfishness that desperately wants a child."

"I don't ask you to sympathize, but as a married woman, failing to be the perfect wife for a husband is a wound."

"I was so hurt that I couldn't bear a child from my womb." Zoya's tears kept dripping, Ethan who saw it immediately gave Zoya a tissue.

Zoya receives tissue from her husband and wipes away her tears. "Regardless of everything that happened. I hope you guys keep supporting me. Whatever I do, you guys just look good."

"I don't tell you to close your eyes if you see the bad I'm doing. I'm just asking you not to be affected by it."

"As a public figure whose every move is noticed and used as a role model, I always hope that I can be a good example."

"Thank you." Zoya rose up after, she only intended to give a clear statement without answering any questions from any media.

Zoya felt everything was clear. The problem has been resolved and he hopes this problem will soon subside.

"Zoya, so how's it going?"

"You'll still be together?"

"Are you willing to go through a polygamous marriage?"

"Ethan won't divorce Naina?"

Ethan immediately follows the woman, while the media who want to ask a lot of questions are immediately confronted by the security forces as soon as they are going after Zoya.

Zoya accelerates in an indeterminate direction, ignoring Ethan who is chasing behind her. Her chest is tight, so tight. As it turned out, everything he had gone through really weighed down his heart and mind.

Zoya's tired. Hugely.
