The Beautiful Man of Zahra

The Beautiful Man of Zahra
Songs for My Beloved



In the backstage Sunny accompanies Zahra while doing a little muscle stretching, which she always does before taking the stage.


“What do you normally do that?.” Zahra asked Sunny.


“Yeah, this really helps me not to strain. Because sometimes I lose my voice when I'm tense on stage. You know it's very embarrassing for a Singer.” Sunny says she is a professional singer.


“Zahra, do you know anything?. The duet song I sang with Lu Chen was created especially for you.” Sunny revealed Lu Chen's secret.


“Oh yes?.” Zahra was surprised by Sunny's words, as the non-mandarin-savvy Zahra never noticed Lu Chen's lyrics so she never knew the meaning of the song.


“Oh my goodness!. Did I leak it?. I thought Lu Chen had told you?. Oh I'm sorry, how is this?.” Sunny who felt guilty because of the shock Lu Chen had he dismantled.


“It's okay, let's just say you never reveal it. Because I'll pretend I don't know.” Zahra who said while blinking her eyes towards Sunny.


“Oh well Zahra, you are indeed an understanding woman!. Just try searching on Gu-gle means, you'll know. I alone sang it very moved. If only my girlfriend would write a song for me. My heart must be.. very happy.” Sunny who said to Zahra with teary eyes imagined it.


Fortunately, they both speak Indonesian so that people who pass by do not understand what they are talking about. And Lu Chenpun finally finished with his GR and they returned to the room.


“Lu, I'll be right back!. I have to take care of your contract with a talent. Miss Zahra, I'm signing Lu Chen!.” (in mandarin) 


“He said what?.” Zahra asked Lu Chen.


“She said spend your time while you can!.” Lu Chen was lying to prank his lover.


“You must be lying!. I know Bo couldn't possibly say that.” Upset Zahra who immediately gave Lu Chen his death pinch.


And Lu Chen did not hesitate to grab Zahra's lips because of that, to make Zahra's face again reddened. Because of his time in such a place Lu Chen took a chance. And Zahrapun finally gave his death pinch back to Lu Chen, so that Lu Chen could not bear the pain and chose to give up.

After filling out the show on the TV station, Lu Chen and Zahra returned to the apartment. Along the way Lu Chen clasped Zahra's fingers tightly and was reluctant to take them off. Lu Chen was not shy about showing his relationship with his new manager Bo and fortunately Bo was professional and chose not to ask about it.


“Flower, do you know the meaning of the song I sang?.” Lu Chen asked Zahra.


“Tahu.” Zahra replied which made Lu Chen surprised at his words.


“Where do you know?. I just told you?.” Lu Chen was confused by Zahra's expression.


“From internet, nih!.” Zahra that shows the lyrics of the song that has been translated with English in it.


“Oh and do you know whose lyrics I'm referring to?.” Ask Lu Chen back.


“Who is?.” Zahra who pretended not to know with the answer.


“Ya of course for my lover, that is you Bunga.” Lu Chen who then hugged and kissed Zahra's lips instantly.


“Dear you don't see here still have Bo?. Can't you take care of your image a little?.” Zahra's annoyance was hard to control Lu Chen who was already like Soang.


“Bo, do you mind me making out?.” (mandarin language) Shouted Lu Chen from behind the wheel of Bo.


“Do as you please!. I'll pretend I didn't see anything!.” (in mandarin) replied Bo.


“Hear!. He doesn't mind that.” Lu Chen who again hugged and kissed Zahra as he wished in the Van.


Arriving at Lu Chen's apartment, Zahra immediately tidied up her belongings to be transferred to Jessica's mansion.


“Can't you stay here with me?.” Lu Chen asked as he hugged Zahra's waist.


“Lu, we are not a couple. How will my parents say later?.” Zahra answered, wanting to honor her parents.


“If you live in Jessica's mansion, you only disturb them dear. They were on their second honeymoon. You better stay here with me, I promise it won't do anything to you!.” Lu Chen who pointed his two fingers at the promise sign from him.


“HHmm are you sure?. Yesterday you dared to enter my room without permission. Are you sure you can hold it?.” Zahra is right.


“Are we getting married soon?. We just do it on civil records.” Pinta Lu Chen as he grabbed onto Zahra's two hands.


“Honey, jessica's mansion is spacious. I can't be directly opposite their room. And again Jiazhen often went out of town, Jessicapun often come with her. So you could say I couldn't possibly bother them with my presence. Besides I won't be in Beijing for long, after my contract is done I will go back to Indonesia.” Zahra's instantaneous speech made Lu Chen become sad.


“You do not have the slightest intention to stay with me in Beijing?.” Lu Chen who was still with his own face looked into Zahra's eyes.


“Not so, we will not know our relationship how to go forward?. I was expecting that too, baby, but there is work to be done in Indonesia. You know I have a company I have to manage there. I promise there will be many ways for us to be together. Trust!.” Zahra assured her lover.


Lu Chen wanted his lover Zahra to be with him in Beijing, but what power his lover was an Indonesian citizen and had a family and business there. He could not attach importance to his selfishness just to have Zahra.


He also chose to give up and continue to run the LDR relationship with Zahra even though it was very difficult for him to live.
