Zahira wanted to disappear from Kenzo's life, but the thought of anyone who could die because his emotional decision made him undo his intentions. Kenzo didn't mess with his words. He had no mercy and that was making him depressed right now.
Zahira arrived in front of his apartment and was greeted by a woman he had known for several days. A man who only dared to see from afar. She was his mother, the woman who gave birth to him.
"Zahira's... "
The soft voice called out his name, conscious that he was shedding his tears. Her heart somehow felt pain. It was not heartache because he knew he was not banished, but the pain of guilt had instilled hatred in his own parents.
"I. mother... "
Both hugged and cried. Her mother repeatedly apologized to her amid her stuffing. Repeatedly said he should have met her sooner when he found out the truth. The two bodyguards who had brought him secretly went down and informed his master.
Zahira was lying on her mother's lap on the sofa. Tired of drowsiness. Her mother gently asked her to lie on her lap. But in fact, his sleepiness disappeared even though he was very comfortable in that position.
"So... You've always been champion one? Waaah.. it turns out your father's smart brain is declining on you. "said his mother after she told him about her school days.
"It's nice to hear that, Dad... How was it? "
"Your father is still in a coma. I don't know when she realized. His kidneys and liver were damaged by poison. Mothers taste because mothers like to eat poison-wasting herbs because of that the effect on mothers is milder. But your father, he's used to working hard and staying up. Always think of a company that is getting worse and worse. "
A drop of her mother's tears fell and hit her cheek. Zahira got up and looked at her mother with pity.
"Dad will be safe, he hasn't seen me yet because it shouldn't just go away. I'll make them repay their deeds."
His mother looked at him with worry.
"Mom heard you were in a relationship with your father's friend's son, Alex baron's son. The Englishman your father helped you with in college."
Zahira was silent, for she was bound by force and she was even sure she did not like the man. The cunning man who had deceived and used him. Even though he was actually also benefiting at the power he had, it remained that he was put in a position that made him unable to move freely.
"Mother knows very well Alex's character, he's a tough guy and a little bit authoritarian. Mom's not sure... "
"The boy is more authoritarian actually, ma'am, but why would you approve of that matchmaking? " cut Zahira with a look of annoyance.
"You don't seem to be bothered by Kenzo's nature, do your kids like it? want to tell me how you met? "
Zahira snorted as her mother made a conclusion far from what she thought.
"Za doesn't like it! He's a cruel trickster. "
"So I was like that in your eyes? "
Keduany jumped in shock. Kenzo hasn't known since when he stood there. Zahira snorted exasperatedly, put on a cold face and immediately got up as Kenzo walked over to them.
"Mothers...Za was a little dizzy so wanted to rest. Can you stay here until night? Za will go to the room first. Later in the night we look at me." said Zahira gently to his mother before quickly moving on from there and turned to Kenzo.
Zahira's mother looked at Kenzo who was still glued to her place staring at Zahira's back which disappeared on the steps towards her room.
"She seems angry at you? "
Kenzo scowled his temple before smiling kindly to Zahira's mother.
"This is the first time we met in person, I'm Kenzo. The son of the old man who betrothed your son who was not with me."
Zahira's mother smiled amusedly, for some reason she felt funny at Kenzo's words.
"And you rejected it sadistically with shareholders." cheered Zahira's mother.
"Did you know he wasn't our son? "
"Yes, I already knew."
"Why are you taking the time to reveal the truth? What news on the internet and television are you planning? "
Kenzo nodded but did not explain further.
Kenzo chuckled softly, he could see Zahira's mother's dislike of him. Basically he does not care, but he still has to respect and get blessing. His hard heart could not be bully with such a thing as the absence of blessing. He'll do anything to get it.
"I'm sorry mom doesn't like me, but that's for sure_ I won't let go of Zahira." replied Kenzo in a polite tone as possible. But there was a pushy impression in his voice.
He bowed deeply before retreating from there. Zahira's mother stared at her disappearance with mixed feelings. Partly because of gratitude, part of the dislike. After all because of Kenzo she and her husband could be quickly saved. More importantly that she indirectly helps him dismantle the deception of her husband's own niece and cousin, bringing him together with her biological child.
.
When night fell, when Zahira and her mother went out to visit her father, Kenzo came out. Kenzo looked neat in an all-black suit and with a black hat. This appearance was his first time seeing. Kenzo turned to them, more precisely Zahira who was still looking at him was curious.
"If you want to get out, make sure not to get too far away from your bodyguards, I added them to mom too. Careful streets. " Say Kenzo flatly before going ahead of them.
Zahira was still glued to her mind as her back disappeared behind the elevator that started to descend. It was curious what Kenzo would actually do with such an appearance.
In a hurry he ran towards the elevator next to his mother who looked confused. Zahira wanted to follow Kenzo, I don't know what he thought. But the curiosity is huge. Unfortunately when he got parked, Kenzo had entered a car. Zahira could see Sadam carrying the car as they turned.
"Zp... What was? "
Her mother's tired voice set her breath beside her and the four men who had just caught up with her stood behind her mother.
"Miss please be careful. Don't be out of our reach " said one of them. Zahira knew he was one of Kenzo's extra bodyguards.
"I can protect myself, you just look at my mom. Don't let him get hurt! "
Zahira replied coldly.
"Sure Miss, "answer them in unison.
"Your car is over here, Miss. " said another, directing them.
Zahira and his mother followed them, two of them with Zahira and his mother while the other two tailed them in another car in the back.
"Is this not excessive? " ask his mother.
"Of course not Madam, Mr. Kenzo even ordered a shadow bodyguard for Miss in case anything happened to us. They always keep an eye on Miss to be in a safe area. "
Zahira's mother looked riled up. Zahira who noticed it smiled soothingly and clasped her mother's hand.
"Let's just relax, ma'am, that guy's just a little crazy and exaggerated. He's a bad guy so he has a lot of enemies, maybe _" said Zahira in his indifferent tone. Not realizing it made her mother even more anxious.
.
Arriving at the hospital Zahira and her mother were greeted by a team of doctors who surrounded her father. Zahira quickly approached them.
"What's going on? "
One of the doctors who was checking his pulse turned his head. He apologized for not being able to explain, he was preparing to do a CPR procedure (lung heart resuscitation). Yang Zahira knew this procedure was only done in case of cardiac or pulmonary arrest. Until he panicked. His mother had even fallen on the floor.
30 Minutes they waited and looked, but there was no sign the doctor showed a relieved face. Even the more here the doctor looks more frustrated. A monitor that showed a straight line made doctors stop their efforts. They limped toward Zahira and her mother. The three doctors were bathed in sweat. Zahira could see they looked very sorry.
"I'm sorry, we can't save Mr. Gunawan. After his kidneys and liver were further damaged, his heart was also impaired. Eventually, he had heart failure. We tried but we couldn't do much. "
His mother was roaring. Zahira was still glued to her place, not believing in what she heard. He did not even realize that Kenzo's parents had just arrived to visit but were shocked by the death of their best friend.
Kenzo's father looked beaten. He sat on the bed and held Zahira's father's hand. Kenzo's mother hugged her mother to calm her down. When his bodyguard regained consciousness, he realized the presence of others. The three doctors left. Now his father is being handled by a nurse who is busy removing all the tools attached to his father's body.
Zahira walked slowly to her father's bed and clasped his other hand. He stared at the face of color that had been stretched stiff with tears of memory.
"Why? I haven't even talked to him. Dad. I haven't even called him that. Damn it's gotta pay for all this. "
Zahira rose with fiery eyes. Both of his hands clenched tightly filled with emotion.
