The Beautiful Man of Zahra

The Warm Robby

That afternoon Zahra was eager to unwind the fatigue that had been held for several weeks. He decided to go home on foot to the nearest bus stop. Zahra walked while contemplating her days of spiritual conflict.

As he was daydreaming while staring at the road, he accidentally ran into Robby Lu on the side of the road to a bus stop. Robby who looks smiling at him at the time reminded Zahra of Amber's words saying that Robby is not what she thinks. Zahrapun unhesitatingly commented on her smile returning Robby's smile. The two began to greet with a slightly awkward taste, because only this time Zahra greeted Robby with a friendly tone.

“Hai Rob? How are you doing?.” Sapa Zahra started the conversation first.

“Oh hi Ra! Good news! You?.” Ask Robby back.

“Yah! As you see now. Looks like I'm fine.” With a hesitant look of face answering Robby's question.

But Robby, who knows that Zahra is hiding something, chooses to be quiet and act as usual.

“What's right here?.” Ask Robby Zahra.

“HHmm... not only..” While scratching his non-itchy head, and directing his face towards the big screen in a multi-storey building right in front of the road.

“Wah Rob! Is that really you?. Are you a businessman?.” Ask Zahra who was surprised by Robby's photo which was clearly displayed on a large screen above the building.

“Yahh... like that.” Robby again felt embarrassed as he rubbed his face that held shame in front of Zahra.

“Aren't you a Photographer?. Am I the only one who doesn't know?.” Zahra was still curious about Robby's original status, again asking him.

“Photography is just my hobby, this is my real job.” Robby replied with a sweet smile.

Zahrapun saw the appearance of Robby at that time which was very fitting as a top-class executive. With expensive suit stellan, branded attributes and luxury cars that he used to make sure that Robby is not an ordinary person.

“Wah Rob! You really can't be guessed!.” Zahra approached Robby and patted him on the shoulder in a friendly manner. Robby who saw that was also happy apparently with Zahra's treatment like that, making her look more beautiful and warm. And Robby was unceasingly smiling towards Zahra.

“And what are you doing here? Not usually walking alone without a driver Jessica?.” Ask Robby who is curious about Zahra who walks alone on the streets.

“Oh it... I just want to unwind the fatigue.” Smiling at Robby.

Robby, who saw it, immediately had the idea to take Zahra somewhere. Robby pulls Zahra's hand and takes her to her fancy car. Zahra who was pulled by his hand could only stay still and follow Robby's movements and get into the car.

Robbypun started to run his car and down the beautiful city of Beijing in the afternoon. They finally stop at a beautiful lake on the outskirts of the city, Robby opens the door to Zahra and opens his seat belt rope. Robby's very warm attitude to him that makes Zahra a little confused and had thought that Robby still hopes with him. But those thoughts pushed aside Zahra and tried to think positively that Robby was currently just trying to be a good friend to her.

When he got down from the car Zahra was immediately flabbergasted by the beauty of the lake in front of him. He thought that in Beijing there were many treasures that he had not seen, one of which was this lake.

“Low what is this Rob?.” Ask Zahra.

“This frozen lake in Beijing city, very beautiful to look at when entering winter like this.” Robby answered enthusiastically.

“Wah! It's beautiful!.” While swiping his hands that began to look cold.

Robby, who saw it, opened his coat and gave it to Zahra. At that time Zahra who initially wanted to refuse Robby's gift finally accepted it because he really started to get cold. Robby eventually takes Zahra to a shop near the lake.

Robbypun ordered warm drinks and stew foods that can warm their bodies.

“Bu! Hot Pot for two servings and red ginseng two! And two packages of dumpling!.” (mandarin language) Shouted Robby who ordered food to the mother of the owner of the store.

“A lot of times you ordered it?.” Zahra protests that saw so many menus that Robby ordered.

“You are calm! Today I bought it!.” Robby replied, whispering in Zahra's ear.

The mother of the shop after serving other guests approached Robby.

“That's the way it is, Bu.” (mandarin language) Reply Robby with a smile towards the Mother of the store.

Zahrapun who steals hear the conversation between the two of them and try to interpret their words, but unfortunately Zahra did not understand the conversation they finally chose to be quiet.

The mother returned to the kitchen and began to struggle with her cooking.

“You come here often?.” Zahra asked who was starting to get curious.

“Yeah, that's it. I often do photo sessions here with some of my clients.” Robby replied briefly.

“Aren't you already having a job? Why are you still looking for another job? Moreover, the job is not comparable to your current job?.” Zahra asked who put her curious face towards Robby.

“HHmm.. You could say I just want to channel my hobby without any shadow of an obligation in it.” Robby said while throwing his breath rough.

“You mean?.” Zahra who was still confused by Robby's words again asked.

“That company is not mine, it belongs to my family. It is only an obligation that I must carry out, so as to demand that I can play a good role in it. Yes, although this heart is difficult to accept, finally inevitably I have to run it well, right?.” A wry smile accompanied Robby's every word.

“I understand, sorry if I asked so much. It's just all so sudden and I don't seem to know you. And indeed I have never known you, rather do not want to know about you and always consider you not good. And I'm sorry.I'm sorry for my previous attitude. I've misjudged you. I'm sorry!.” I'm sorry for Zahra's heartfelt words to Robby, which immediately left Robby flabbergasted and speechless. Until Robby's daydream at that time was interrupted by the tavern mother who brought their order.

“Ehem! Looks like we have to eat first, afraid later the food will be cold.” Robby invites Zahra to gobble up her food with an awkward smile.

“Oh! Alright!.” Zahra replied and began to devour the menu that was in front of her eyes.

In the midst of eating his food, Robby secretly saw the expression of Zahra who was eating hot pot menu with lust and looks hungry. Zahra who saw Robby's gaze to him instantly became embarrassed, and tried to clear her mouth fearing that there was food scraps stuck to her lips. But immediately Robby grabbed the rest of the dirt on Zahra's lips with his bare hands. Zahra who received the treatment from Robbypun immediately tried to pull Robby's hand from her lips.

“Oh sorry, I'm just reflexing. I used to clean the dirt on my Mommy's lips when I ate.” The lies Robby made to cover up his awkwardness.

“Ehem! How is Lu Chen?.” The question about Lu Chen came out of Robby's mouth.

“Hhmm.. do you already know?.” Zahra asked who was convinced that Robby already knew of his relationship with Lu Chen. And answered with a nod from Robby.

“What did Amber tell him?.” Zahra asked back, and was answered with a nod back by Robby.

“Are you okay?. Ask Robby which leads to a hot topic that has been buzzing recently.

“Oh it, I'm fine.” Zahra answered trying to hide the fact that she was actually not okay. And Robby who saw it prefers to smile and go back to devouring the hot pot menu in front of him.

Robby accompanied Zahra from afternoon until evening. He accompanied Zahra around the lake, and surrounded the traditional market that was not far from the lake. Zahra's eyes came to a halt at a clontong shop selling many stick-shaped sweets in front of her. And he bought some of the sweets and wrapped them up to take home. Like a child carrying a toy home, Zahra looked very happy with a sprig of gulali in her hand. And that moment was immortalized by Robby using his cellphone secretly of course.

This is how Zahra's expression looked at the gulali

Robby was very happy because after a long time he could finally feel walking together with his heart. That day ended with a sweet memory that could treat Zahra's heartache even if only for a moment, because however Lu Chen had been dwelling too deep in his heart. It was difficult for others to enter and replace Lu Chen's position easily.
