EPISODE 34 OF THE PAST (Zhuzu ver.)

“Me and him are the same, he's a wasted boy so am I.” He started the story hearing a few short words of meaning that Arora could instantly understand. Arora was a little hesitant with her understanding, she chose to ask. “Wasted? What do you mean?”

Zhuzu let out a long sigh, it was painful for him to tell that. It was like sowing salt on a wound. But, how else? Somehow he wanted to tell her everything so that Arora could trust him.

“He told me while crying, he said his parents didn't want him. He said his parents threw it away.” His words stopped, he turned his gaze to the window. He did not want to see the pity that emanated clearly from Arora. “Means, you.. “

“Yes, I do too.” Connect with a soft voice.

*flashback on*

“Where are you taking me?” Ask a innocent little boy. A middle-aged woman with a still dazzling appearance at a young age no longer. “Meet Your Father.” Answer with a smile.

The little boy was accustomed to silence and according to him, he did not talk much like other children in general. “Nona Martha, are you sure of your decision?” Asked a middle-aged man who was sitting next to the driver.

“I'm sure, he should be in charge.” The answer is short. “Large master said that he would find you a better partner. Don't you want to consider it?” Ask her again. Martha sighed, “Zhuya is her son. I don't want my son stuck in a political relationship.”

He nodded slowly, “Alright, I will tell this to the Big Master.” The state of silence returned, everyone dissolved in their own minds. Until the driver reported that they had arrived at their destination.

They got out of the car and found a waiter standing at the door. “Sorry, what do you need?” Ask the waiter. “I want to see Chris Daffin.” Martha said firmly. “Sorry, but Mr. Daffin is nowhere to be found.” The waiter replied with a little arrogance.

“Can you let us in first? We will wait until your Master is done with his business.” Said Mr. Gui, assistant to Lord Sherwin, father of Martha. “Sorry, we can't let strangers in carelessly.” Answer the waiter arrogantly.

“What is this? Interrupting my precious lunch time.” Said a woman with a haughty face from inside the luxurious building before them. “This, Mistress. They came to meet Mr.” Answer the waiter.

“No, can't. My husband is too busy to meet bums like you.” Said the woman arrogantly.

Martha could not stand the woman's attitude, “CHRIS!! IF YOU DON'T COME OUT, THEN I PROMISE TO BURN YOUR HOUSE AND EVERYONE HERE!!” He shouted a terrible threat to attract the attention of the person he was looking for while venting his anger.

Soon, a man came out of the house. “M-martha? What was? Why are you here? Come, come in and sit down first.” Chris answered with a nervous smile. He knew for sure that if Martha had promised, whatever cruel thing she would have done. The woman known as the Madam here, grunted with her husband's attitude.

They stepped inside the large and luxurious house. “Please sit down, let's talk carefully. What brings you here? My simple residence is this?” Asked Chris who was deliberately humble, he did not want to ignite Martha's anger.

“Married me.” Martha replied briefly as she sipped the tea prepared for her. Chris was wide-eyed to hear Martha's answer, “A-what? B-but, why?” Ask him not to believe. “Zhuya, say hello.” His orders. Zhuya who had just been silent, then stood up to greet him. “Hallo, uncle.” He said while bowing his body.

“This is your son, Chris.” Continue Martha. Chris was silent to see the little boy who looked so much like him. It was clear that the 4-year-old was a dispute between him and Martha. “Chris. I'm waiting for your answer.” Martha said to bring Chris out of his daydream.

‘What? My kid? Why Martha…? Was it because of that night?’ Think Chris. He weighed the benefits if he agreed to marry Martha. Then before long, “Alright, I'll be in charge.” Said agreed.

Bebepara the next day, the wedding was carried out with a potluck. Just inviting family and a few friends, was also held very simply. Now, Zhuya Sherwin's name changed to Zhuya Daffin.

“Zhuya darling. From now on, he's your father. You understand?” Martha asked with a sweet smile. Zhuya nodded, “I understand, Mother.” Answer with a flat face.

Several years he passed peacefully, although his new family did not accept his presence there. But he had a father and grandfather who loved him. At least until today.

Zhuya is now 9 years old. He grew up as a handsome man with a cold demeanor and an expressionless face. He has fascinated many women at his age.

He walked to his mother's room to talk about something. When he arrived in front of the room, he knocked on the door. “Mother, it's me. Can I come in?” Ask her. He knocked on the door a few times, but there was no answer. Out of curiosity he finally ventured to enter and see the situation inside.

The door opened and he found a painful sight. He sat down weakly with breaths watching the woman he loved most lying helplessly on the floor. He rushed in and checked on his mother.

“Mother? Mammy? Mommy?! Mama!! Wake up!” He shouted while shaking his mother's body which was pale and cold. “Mother, wake!” He examined the signs of life from his mother's body, but the results were nil.

“Zhuya, what is it?” Ask Grandpa Willy who immediately came when he heard Zhuya's voice from here. “Martha? What's the matter? Doctor!! You, call the doctor now!!” He shouted at the servant behind him.

“Yeah, kid. What happened to your mother?” Ask Grandpa who was rushing towards his mother. “A-I don't know. I-mom was like this when I got here.” The answer was with incredible nervousness. His body trembled imagining the worst possible. This sunny morning felt very bleak for him.

A few minutes later, the doctor came and examined Martha. “Sorry, Sir. But, Madam could not be saved. His body was already cold and no more blood was flowing in his body. He lost his life about an hour or two ago. I will check further related to the cause of death of the mistress.” Said the doctor, offering condolences.

Zhuya bowed languidly. He lost one of the very few who loved and loved him with all his heart. It is seen that only he and Grandpa Willy are saddened by the passing of his mother, Martha. His father's first wife, Yuri Daffin, looked ordinary and even happy with the news.

In the afternoon, after his mother was buried, he was about to rest in his room. He was tired of everything that happened today. He tried to look strong, he did not even shed a single tear in front of the guests.

“Dad, the woman is gone. What will Dad do next?” – Leo, Chris' second son

“What about that damn kid? Do we need to make it catch up with his mother?” – Yuri

“No, we still need it to get Pandora Corporation completely.” – Chris

“The sons of the Gunadya family are gone, their daughter is also almost following. Now that woman. Isn't Dad too rash?” – Jason, Chris' first son

“Gunadya family problems have nothing to do with our family.” – Chris

“How is it unrelated? Father helped those people by facilitating the manufacture of the poison used to kill him.” – Leo

“What if Zhuya finds out that we used the remains of the deadly poison to kill her mother?” – Jason

“He won't know. He had never learned about medicine and poison plants. The doctor who examined it alone was unable to detect the poison. How can he know?” – Chris

“But I don't think now the Sherwin family will give us Pandora Corporation. They would definitely give the position of leader to Zhuya. Familially they have never been in a relationship with our family.” – Yuri

“Yes, that's very possible. After the death of Zoe Sherwin, Martha obtained the position of leader of Pandora Corporation. Now, after he is gone, then Zhuya will be the official successor.” – Chris

“Already, let's just continue this conversation next time. It's approaching dinner. Grandpa must be looking for us.” – Leo

‘Dad. All this time I loved me, just like Mom. Heh, it's all fake. They just want the company Mother.’ Inner Zhuya. He was disappointed with the fact he had just heard. He did not expect himself to be used by his father who all this time he knew loved him.

‘They want to take advantage of me, then I can't possibly complicate their plans. Let everything go according to their plan, but don't expect me to just give up the company. I'm taken advantage of, then I'll also take advantage of them.’ He is determined to keep the only relic of the mother.

Have dinner, though,

“Zhuya, eat this. This will make your mood better.” Grandfather Willy fed Zhuya a spoonful of warm broth soup with an appetizing aroma. Zhuya acted as usual as if she had not heard anything before.

“Nothing, cake. I'm fine.” The answer was to calm the grandfather. Right now, the one who loved him was only Grandpa Willy. “I'm done. Excuse me to room.” He decided to go back to his room and start making plans.

“Look at how ignorant of his manners he is. Just go away leaving others with such indifferent attitude.” Leo is upset with Zhuya who always gets his Grandpa's affection.

“Leo. Watch your. She just lost her mother. It's only natural that he's sad now.” Jason said with a warning. They had to convince Zhuya that they were on his side, so that they could execute the plan well.

“Yes, Leo. He's your brother anyway. You can't talk like that.” Yuri tried to take this opportunity to show her care. Zhuya did not care about them, she continued to step towards her room. ‘Heh, fake.’

He almost got carried away, then he stopped his steps and turned his head. “Thanks for the understanding.” He said with a faint smile and then walked away from there.

Day after day he lived with various negative comments from people.

“Hey, look at that bastard. Haha, how sad.”

“He comes from a distinguished family, but his appearance is like a bum. Her family must be ashamed to have a child like.”

“Haha, his name is also an illegitimate child. Which family would accept it?”

“Basic of illegitimate children. Haha.”

He kept holding himself back from always being indifferent. But he really could not stand all the comments and bullying actions he received. Finally, after graduating from elementary school, he decided to go abroad.

During his schooling abroad, his father's family always financed his life and provided sufficient necessities for him. It's just, it's all part of their evil plan.

Because he did not need to worry about money, he took his time to continue to develop his potential so that he could lead Pandora Corporation well in the future.

He continues to live in the same circle of activity every day until he is in the present, where he has several trusted friends who always help him wholeheartedly. Well, even though sometimes they suck.
