Zahra POV 

That day I became one of the speakers at the fashion school in Paris, armed with the knowledge that I have lived while in my own country. I introduced the importance of Indonesian culture in the world of fashion in Indonesia.

I introduced some famous motifs in Indonesia, such as batik, songket cloth, and woven cloth that is famous in Indonesia. I am currently studying Fashion at one of the famous design schools there.

I chose a master's program for design for 2 years, and I had to stay away from Jason, my husband. During my stay here I stayed in the apartment provided by my Mother-in-law, Jiang Xi. And the apartment was at once my official home while taking care of the company in France.

At first it was very difficult to adapt in an environment that was unfamiliar to me. Especially the language barrier, I don't know French. During my education I used English more often than French, because it was a bit difficult to master it in a short time. Fortunately, that doesn't make me an obstacle, because English is their second language here.

This time I was chosen as a representative of Indonesian students as a speaker. And I managed to finish my presentation well without any significant obstacles. Finally, after a long time, I managed to improve my presentation skills.

Proudly?. Yeah, I'm proud because I was finally able to level up. And at least I can make my family proud.

That day I came home happy, today is the day Jason will visit me in Paris. But until I finished the presentation, he never called me.

“Is he probably busy?. So today postponed his departure?.” I thought as I watched the passersby in my school lobby.

“Zahra!.” Shouted someone I knew very well.

I saw Jessica calling me from a distance. Jessica is seen with her distended stomach. Yes, Jessica is 5 months pregnant at this time, a few months after our wedding, Jessica gave happy news that she was pregnant. After nearly three years of marriage, Jessica has not yet shown any signs of pregnancy.

And now she and her husband are happy because soon they will be given a baby. I also see their happiness as well. Moreover, Jason and I have also become a husband and wife, surely descent is also our priority.

“How are you, babe?.” I hugged Jessica because I was so happy with her presence.

“Eits!. Careful donk!. There is debay here!.” Jessica pointed at her already bloated stomach.

“Yeah!. How's Onty's nephew doing?.” I spoke while rubbing Jessica's stomach.

I immediately felt the movement of the child in his stomach.

“Wow!. Apparently Onty's nephew was happy to meet Onty too huh?.” Say it and rub Jessica's stomach back.

“Mana Jiazhen?.” Ask Jessica.

“He's going to the ice cream shop, today I'd love to buy ice cream that's in the alley there!.” Jessica said as she pointed towards an alley that was barely visible from the campus gate, because of the great distance.

“Yeah jess, you again torture your husband huh?.” My speech.

“Yes name is also Bumil, must be obeyed dong request.” Jessica is not to blame.

“Ya Yes!. It's up to you.” I don't want to argue with him anymore.

At that time I also saw Jiazhen who was overwhelmed with a lot of ice cream in her hands.

Indeed Jessica if you already want something must be obeyed, fortunately her partner is very patient like Jiazhen.

“Will Jason treat me like that too?. Because Jason is not a typical guy who is smart to spoil women. It is precisely there that I am overwhelmed because of his childish attitude.” I said in a heart that knows Jason's nature.

That day Jessica and Jiazhen took me to dinner at the Eiffel Tower, it's been a long time since I wanted to go here with my husband. But because the busyness of it can not be realized, especially now I have to live far away from Jason.

“Ra, why are you so dumb?.” Jessica asked who saw me a little grimly.

“No, it's just that I feel awkward because I look like a fly that's interfering with your dinner.” I said that I felt like a bully between Jessica and her husband.

“You're thinking of Jason, huh?. Didn't you guys make a deal today?.” Ask Jessica.

“Iya should, but until now he has not contacted me.” I said while showing my disappointed face to the two of them.

Suddenly the sound of fireworks lit up outside the Eiffel Tower. As soon as the boisterous noise outside the restaurant made me curious, today was not the new year.

Jessica and I went outside to see fireworks that were lit and I saw the words "I MISS U" that were lit along with other fireworks, followed by the words "ZAHRA" after that writing.

I was surprised not to play, I finally realized who made the fireworks. I immediately went and looked for the figure behind it, I'm sure Jason was behind it all.

I ran to the garden under the Eiffel Tower, but I could not find it.

“Zahra!.” I heard a man calling my name. But the man was not Jason, he just called me because he wanted to deliver a letter from someone.

I opened the letter which in the letter only read the word "I'm sorry". And in the letter there is no name of the sender. I was disappointed and went back to the restaurant where Jessica and Jiazhen were.

“Ra, where are you from?.” Jessica was worried about me who suddenly disappeared.

I think I'm still convinced that Jason is here in Paris. My heart felt its presence, somehow I was very sure of it. Until the sound of someone singing makes me turn my eyes towards the stage in the fancy restaurant.

I saw the figure I miss so much playing the piano and singing "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri. At that moment my eyes were so happy, seeing my husband Jason singing for me.

And as soon as the song was over he came up to me with a red rose hand bouquet. All the eyes in the restaurant were on us.

Jason's romantic treatment at that time made me happy and made me blush embarrassed. I covered my face because I was too embarrassed, but Jason kept coming up to me and kissing my forehead at that moment. And as everyone applauded us, this was the second time Jason had acted romantically in front of everyone after his confession at his last concert.

Then I hugged him and thanked him infinitely for making me happy with his treatment.

“Thank you.” My whisper was in Jason's ear at the time.

“I'm sorry I couldn't come in your presentation, darling.” I'm sorry Jason told me, but I feel like it's all paid off.
