“Good morning Young Master, Young Miss,” greet a man in his 30s who welcomes the arrival of Zain and Zahra at his father's family-owned central company in Beijing, China.
“Hmm,” Zain replied briefly, while Zahra simply nodded her head and smiled as a sign of his hospitality.
The man invites Zain and Zahra to enter and directs the two of them towards the elevator. The time is still showing at 07:00, only a few employees are seen passing by in the area because it is too early and new working hours will start at 08:30.
“Are they already in place?” zain asked the man when they were in the elevator.
“Everything is complete Sir, according to your request.”
“Good work, take us to grandpa's room first!” zain's orders.
“Good Mr.”
“Oh yes, why did you welcome me here? Who will take care of grandpa?” zain asked because his grandfather had his personal assistant sent directly to greet him.
“There are young masters Hou Ming with the great masters, they will be there soon, you don't have to worry, Mr.”
“Good, Hou Ming is indeed reliable.” Praise him to his other cousins.
...*****...
“Honey, you wait here yes. Don't go anywhere, he will accompany you as long as I'm not here,” Zain said as he pointed to a woman standing not far from where they were sitting inside his grandfather's study.
“I want to come with you,” said Zahra Lirih, she felt foreign in that place especially she could not speak cantonese or mandarin. Although they can speak English, Zahra is not very familiar with what they say because their English is still mixed with Chinese accents.
“Honey, I won't be long-” Zain didn't finish his sentence because he saw the look on his wife's face that looked adorable when pleading.
“Alright .. but you have to promise not to make a sound, you will only be a listener, understand!” said Zain did not have the heart to leave his wife, he would not repeat the mistake some time ago.
“OK!” replied Zahra enthusiastically.
...*****...
“Three of you, come closer!” zain said firmly even until echoing in the room made the three girls who were standing some distance in front of him look frightened.
How not to be afraid, since his arrival Zain put on a cold face and kill make anyone who saw feel will feel threatened. Even Zahra who was walking behind him shuddered in horror looking at him, she did not dare to speak and only complied when her husband told her to sit in the main seat while Zain himself chose to stand in front of the table and his grandfather's assistant stood not far from her.
“Quick! Do I need to drag your bodies!” zain was impatient.
The three young women slowly inched forward towards the main table, while the three pairs of married men standing behind them looked puzzled by the events before their eyes, a foreign man suddenly entered the room in anger.
“Do you know the woman in the photo?” zain asked after putting down his phone which showed a photo of his sister, Yang Zi.
Seeing the three women only speechless with pale faces, Zain grew even more inflamed. “Jawab! Are you mute, huh!”
“Ti-no.”
“Y-ya.” Answer them in unison with different answers.
“What did you guys do with that woman?”
The three women were just silent, feeling depressed and suffocated with just the glare Zain gave them.
“Do you guys know who he is?”
“In-he is our friend,” replied one of them.
“He's just an orphan,” interrupted the others quickly.
“I-iya, she is just an orphan that is not taken care of by her family, so she has since childhood lived in dormitory.”
Brak!
Zain kicked the table hearing the words. “Friends? You call him a friend? What kind of friend stabbed his own friend?”
“A-what do you mean?” asked one of them to get nervous.
“You all!” Zain pointed at the six middle-aged people who had only seen the incident, they were the parents of the three Yang Zi friends.
“Master, you don't just accuse. We are still able to finance our daughter, there is no way they do the thing you accuse of it,” elak one of them.
“Ck! You guys!” Zain again pointed towards the three women. “Jawab honestly, what are you doing to Yang Zi!”
“We didn't do anything to him!” refute them.
“Well, if that's your answer, from today both of your parents are fired from their jobs without severance. Even the names of all your family members will be blacklisted from all companies in the country!” threaten Zain's.
“On what basis did you fire us? Who are you huh? What is our error?” asked a middle-aged woman with emotion.
“Who am I? What's your fault? Ask your child what their mistake was!” Zain walked over to his wife and sat down on the table facing Zahra and turned his back to them all.
“Process legally those three women! The law is heavy!” zain's orders to his grandfather's assistant.
“B*job! Who are you!”
“Dragon your greeting to the young master, Miss!” threaten the assistant.
“Tu-young master?” ask them confused.
“Yes, you must have heard the name Zang Yang Yang, right? Now that person is standing in front of you, the grandson of the owner of this company and the woman in the photo is my sister, Zang Yang Zi,” said Zain managed to make the three women surprised.
“No way, you must be lying! She is just an orphan living in the dorm!” elak the woman.
“Well, it's true he's just an orphan, his father and mother are dead. Do you deserve to treat him like that? Trapping him and selling him for money? What kind of friends are you?”
“Master, forgive them .. they are khilaf and unaware of their deeds-”
“Are you going to forgive the man who ruined your daughter's life? Do I need to do the same to them as those who have ruined my sister's future?” zain asked without turning his body.
“Master, forgive us-,”
“It's enough, drag them all away from here! Do as Yang Yang,” said Zain's grandfather who entered the room accompanied by Hou Min the grandson and several bodyguards behind him.
“Big Masters,” say they're in unison.
“Yeye,” greet Zain. (Father's grandfather)
...*****...
After solving the problem about his sister's friends, Zain invites Zahra to go home to his grandfather and introduce his grandfather's entire extended family. Their presence was warmly welcomed by all family members, especially Zain brought happy news about the marriage of Barra and Yang Zi to be held next month in Indonesia at the request of his mother, Ny. Amara.
Although the calamity that befell Yang Zi was already known to the big family, but her pregnancy was kept secret from everyone so as not to make them feel even more sad.
Barra and her family include Ny. Amara and Hani return to Indonesia the next day, while Yang Zi will follow along with Zain and Zahra after they are both finished with Zahra treatment in Beijing.
“Honey, back then I saw a lot of scars on Yang Zi's back. Should we treat it first?” asked Zahra who was lying next to her husband.
“Do you see clearly the wound?” zain asked while busy stroking his wife's hair.
“Hmm, looks like stripes ... what is possible scarring lash?” zahra asked hesitantly, as she was unsure of his thoughts.
Zain who heard it immediately sat up and rousing his cell phone on the nightstand and contacted someone.
“Are you sure they didn't torture Yang Zi?” ask Zain to the person across the phone.
‘I'm sure Mister, miss m-wait a moment Sir, when I ask the lady just shook her head. Is it possible that he wants to cover it up so as not to make us even sadder?’ barra asked across the phone.
“You find out everything, re-investigate the case. He will only open if only with you!”
‘Good Mr.’
Zain disconnects the call without saying anything, then puts back his original phone and pulls Zahra into his arms.
“Honey! I missed you.”
