Stop At You

Ep.48s

"Sorry sir, the big lady invited you and the young lady to dinner together at the mansion, you two are required to come, all of you to discuss the anniversary plans of the mistress who will be celebrated in large quantities." Bram said after getting a call from Zayn's mother.

"Sad.. That woman always bothered me. All right, after this we go straight there, for the girl just have another driver pick her up."

"Good sir."

It has been a tradition of recent years, every birthday Zayn's mother will definitely hold a big party, inviting many guests, especially officials and socialites. And at that very moment he would definitely invite journalists, deliberately wanting to be the lips, and the center of attention of one city.

In public view, Zayn's mother was a good official, generous, generous and always helpful to the poor. But in reality, he could always take advantage in any charitable activities carried out by the government. Either way, for sure he always escapes in a skid, and can always quibble at every check conducted by the tax office at his residence.

At exactly 7 p.m., Zayn and his wife arrived at the mansion together. They immediately entered without greeting each other first. Like strangers who know each other's names without knowing each other.

"You've come, let's sit down, today I've cooked your favorite food." Said Ratna enthusiastically welcome the arrival of Zayn and Selly.

"Thank you mom." Selly answered and sat down beside her father-in-law.

As for Zayn, he immediately sat down, immediately picked up the food and ate it quickly.

"How are you, son? Does Zayn still hurt you?". Ratna asked as she gently stroked Selly's head.

"Ah of course not, I don't need to worry, Zayn is very kind and always attentive to me." Selly's lie forced his smile.

"Thank God, then when are you going to give me grandchildren? Your marriage is long, isn't it?". Ask Ratna again expectantly.

"I'm done, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep first." Sahut Zayn who just left.

"That kid is still disrespectful."

"Yes, Selly knows about mom. It's okay."

"Hm.. I feel lucky to be able to marry Zayn to you. If there's anything you can't hesitate to tell mom, I'll help you."

"Sure mom, thank you."

Ratna loved Selly more than her own son Zayn. Not without cause, all of that is because Selly is a submissive girl, besides that the Selly family also plays an important role in supporting Ratna in the political world, so that he can add another period of leadership in the government, so that he can add to his leadership, like what he wanted.

Meanwhile, Zayn was in his room, lying on a soft bed while staring at the sky of the room he left pitch-black. If only his mother's question had been addressed to him and Nadine, maybe Zayn would have been very enthusiastic to answer it.

"Mother pray yes, we're trying."

I thought that was the answer Zayn was going to say.

I miss you, Nad.. Can't you just be my wife? I just want you, just you.

Crying in silence, sometimes that's what Zayn would do when he remembered his past. Liquor, drugs, all that can only make him forget for a moment, after the effect is gone, his brain will automatically rethink Nadine. Worse, instead of forgetting, the pill slowly damaged Zayn's body, making him addicted, even almost insane.

Sometimes a broken heart can be that painful. And if they can't hold it anymore, they will most likely find an instant way to forget everything. Including destroying and killing himself.
