The King's

Episode 31

Zahid saw the woman who would become his wife moody since returning from the studio where he worked earlier. There must be something going on, because Layla was completely silent and did not want to respond to Zahid's words at all. Until they got home, Layla remained silent and did not smile at all. Zahid began to be proud because his plan made his future wife jealous successfully.

"Sir, what should I prepare for dinner?" layla's question made Zahid not so sure anymore.

"Is there something going on with you?"

Layla looks surprised by Zahid's question. This time, the woman looked up and saw Zahid with my eyes.

"none. I'm just confused by today's dinner menu"

Something happened, Zahid was sure of it. But ... This woman looks lazy to reveal everything. All Zahid can do is be patient to face his future wife who is very young.

"Make it simple"

"All right"

Layla left the room and went into the kitchen. Zahid could only watch over his future wife from afar. Night falls and after Zahid cleans up the body, Layla calls him for dinner.

"Everything's delicious. I really enjoyed it" Zahid said, not making Layla smile or blush at all. Something was clearly disturbing this woman's mind. Zahid felt very tired and wanted to rest immediately as he saw Layla sitting in the back garden illuminated by lights. Alone stared at the black sky above him calmly.

"Did something happen in the studio?" zahid asked could not help but be curious.

"Sir"

"Surely something happened, until you kept pensive like this"

Layla was silent for a while and started telling stories.

"I met my best friend at the studio where Mr. Zahid worked. He looks very happy with his job"

Zahid did not understand why such a thing made Layla feel sad.

"Then?"

"Seeing that he could do anything made me feel envious"

What a surprise Zahid never imagined. A very rich daughter of Mr. Graham turned out to have such feelings for her own friend.

"You mean?" ask Zahid again, trying to make his future wife talk more.

"Of course, having the freedom to be able to do anything seems like a lot of fun. Something I'll never get, maybe forever"

After saying what was in her head, Layla lowered her face. Zahid could not say anything. Because he knew the identity of the woman sitting next to him. As it turned out, being a rich princess and having everything was not very good. Before he was forced to become an adult after his father died, at least Zahid could still live his life freely. But, Layla seemed to be unable to do anything to her liking. It is also the marriage that will happen to both. That made Zahid think, maybe this woman actually did not want to marry him. But Zahid could not ask Layla this.

"Sometimes, we are forced to be someone as we wish"

Layla looked at Zahid with a questionable face.

His master's explanation made Layla fall silent and look towards the empty black sky once again. As an adult? She was only twenty-one years old and was obliged to accept this marriage. Is it possible that it is indeed her duty as the daughter of a company owner like her father?

"Not to be confused now.just go day by day like you won't meet tomorrow. Then you will feel grateful to have lived an extraordinary life" said Mr. Zahid again, stunning Layla.

As a celebrity, Mr. Zahid turned out to be very smart to entertain people like him.  Finally he smiled and let go of the weight that felt heavy on his shoulders.

"really. There's still time to enjoy life"

"What do you want to do tomorrow?" ask employer.

"Tomorrow? I have to cook, clean the house and filming equipment Mr. Zahid, then ... "

Suddenly, Mr. Zahid's hand clasped Layla's fingers tightly.

"Just calm down, I'll be at every step you make later"

Layla now does not understand the direction of her employer's conversation that feels strange. Is Mr Zahid trying to say he will be with Layla until the end? That's impossible to do. Because Layla was going to marry someone else, the man her father had already determined. Immediately he brushed off the large hand that gave him that warmth.

"I'd better go to bed before I'm late"

Layla immediately left the man who offered her it. In fact, it was eager for him to hug the man and together meld the feeling that had been pressing on his heart for these few days. Unfortunately, there is no future between them. It would be a waste if Layla followed her heart.

In the morning, layla receives the consequences of her refusal. Mr. Boni sent a message so that he prepared the needs of taking pictures of his employer. And as soon as Mr. Zahid woke up from his sleep, all the assistants including the bodyguards and Mr. Boni arrived home. Morning hustles are very rare. Layla is also busy preparing breakfast for everyone here. And like a lightning fast coming and fast going. Everything went away within an hour of breakfast. Layla was left alone in this mansion again. Without any words from his employer.

He had lonely days once again, and now longer than before. One and a half months. The time to experience freedom is finally over. Layla just had to wait for her upcoming employer to submit a letter of resignation. Finally night came and the two masters arrived. With a bad mood.

"I've apologized to you repeatedly"

"But you don't have to tell them everything"

"I know, I'm sorry"

 "Everything's happened, now think about how you're gonna handle it"

"But Mr. Graham and Frank haven't contacted me yet"

Layla sharpened her ears and heard the name of her father and bodyguard mentioned in a conversation between her two employers. It's not unusual. What was their relationship with my dad until I found out about Frank?

But unfortunately the two employers did not speak anymore and Layla failed to find a connection between them all. All he knew, it seemed like tonight was a bad time to hand over the resignation letter. He decided to make hot coffee for Mr. Zahid and Mr. Boni who were fighting.

"Please, Sir"

Mr. Zahid immediately got up from the sofa after seeing Layla and went towards his room. Mr. Boni also looks very troubled tonight. What really happened to them? What was the problem until the two fought? Aren't they compact actors and managers?
