The Beautiful Man of Zahra

Speak Four Eyes

1 Week Before

Zahra who is unable to focus on work, because all day the mood is not good. As a result, he was just busy turning the pen with his two fingers, while daydreaming towards the window.

Suddenly came Chyou assistant Jiang Xi calling him.

“Nona Zahra, you are called Bu Jiang to her room!.” (in english) Chyou orders to Zahra.

“Oh, alright!.” (in English) Zahrapun directly obeyed the orders of his superiors and followed Chyou all the way to Jiang Xi's room.

Arriving at the room, Zahra was invited to sit while chatting by Jiang Xi at the rooftop near his room. That day was the first time Jiang Xi faced Zahra without any tension between the two. Today Jiang Xi invited Zahra's four-eyed talk very kindly.

“Please sit Zahra!. Please drink the tea!.” Jiang Xi invited Zahra to sit on the sofa that was in front of her while pointing to the tea drink that had been prepared for Zahra.

“Zahra you know my purpose in calling you here?.” Jiang Xi's words began to throw away his formality while talking to Zahra.

“I don't know, Ms. Jiang.” Replied Zahra who did not know the intent and purpose of Jiang Xi calling him.

“Actually I already know your relationship with Lu, my son.” Jiang Xi said with a smile towards Zahra.

“Then?.” Zahra asked with curiosity.

“Then? Are you afraid I don't approve of it hhmm?.” Jiang Xi asked back who wanted to see the reaction from Zahra.

“Not that's what I mean..” Not even himself talking Jiang Xi had already interrupted him.

“You take it easy, I'm not Zahra's old man. I was just a little possessive of him. I just don't want my only son to be wrong in choosing a companion.” Jiang Xi said as she sipped the tea she had in her hand.

“Excuse me for breaking my promise.” Said Zahra who felt guilty towards her boss.

“What are you apologizing for? From the beginning I knew it. Ever since your meeting ten years ago, I saw a change in Lu back then. I haven't seen him smile in a long time. And I know who made it that way. And I was more and more convinced when I met you back in Beijing.” The sudden revelation of Jiang Xi made Zahra flabbergasted by his words.

“You mean?.” Zahra asked who did not understand Jiang Xi's words.

“Jason Lu I mean Lu Chen my son liked you a lot long time ago without him noticing. And finally you were reunited in the competition that I held. What an unexpected destiny.” Jiang Xi came back with the fact that Lu Chen liked Zahra long ago.

“You need not worry, I will not hinder your relationship. Right now I just want the best for you. I only asked for one thing related to the current job and it must have something to do with the gossip circulating.” Pinta Jiang Xi to Zahra while smiling knots.

“What is it if I may know?.” Zahra asked who was starting to be curious about Jiang Xi's request to her.

“I just want you to go back to Jakarta to prepare for your next project. The point is I'll put you away before I start my next project. Forget Lu Chen for now and return to Jakarta!.” The repulsive Pinta Jiang Xi made Zahra dumbstruck with her words.

“Is it true that Lu Chen already has a fiancee?.” Ask Zahra who is straight to the point.

“Pict like that, and let's just say I just want you to understand Lu's current position. So for now it's best for you to split up for a while. And I hope you can understand by my decision Zahra.” Pinta Jiang Xi while holding Zahra's hand.

Zahrapun who heard Jiang Xi's request could only fall silent speechless. But Jiang Xi's words had a point too, that this was the best thing for her and Lu Chen, which was to part for a while.

After his conversation with Jiang Xi, Mommy Lu Chen, Zahra returned to her room in a state of turmoil. His tears suddenly dripped without excuse, his chest as it hurt like it was pierced by thousands of arrows. It's like being in love, it hurts! Imagining parting away from Lu Chen alone made him unable to hold back his longing. Moreover, having to end his relationship with Lu Chen even though it was only temporary. He thought what if Lu Chen forgot about it? And prefer that woman over her? This was what he was so worried about, when Lu Chen only wanted to play with him and play with his heart. Indeed He was not ready for those moments, Zahrapun cried so much to let go of all his sorrow.
