The King's

Episode 39's

Zahid was still stuck in unpleasant pleasantries in his Director's room. Until Frank, Mr. Graham's bodyguard finally forced the Director away. Leaving two people in serious conversation.

"What do you want?" tanya Zahid did not want to spend much time.

"Your mother must have explained everything. I now want to collect the promise your parents gave me"

Actually Zahid did not care much about what he would hear. Because he would never approve of anything that the crafty old man before him asked for.

"That's my promise, not mine" Zahid replied, standing up and intending to leave the Director's room.

"If that's what you want, I won't force it. But you have to be ready for your decision"

Zahid stopped stepping and began to notice what the man behind him was going to say.

"I just want to make you my successor. And everything I do is easy to forget"

Zahid turned and saw the man in his early fifty years.

"People?"

"Yes. Husband of my daughter. The man who will be the father of my grandson"

Of course it made Zahid laugh. She knew the daughter of the man in front of her was only five years old. He must be crazy.

"Are you kidding me?"

"No"

But, seeing the seriousness of the man in front of him, made Zahid confused. Is this guy going to make it as a child lover?

"Of course you'll get married when my daughter grows up. But I want you to prepare from now on"

"You're nuts. I'll pay my father's debt and forget everything that happened today"

Zahid stepped towards the door and wanted to open it.

"If you do that, I will destroy you and your family. Just remember that I can do all of that very easily"

Mr. Graham led Zahid out of his Director's room, leaving him in a statue-like state. What the man was talking about would really happen. All the hard work, the progress of his work and his family would be destroyed overnight if he did not do what the man wanted. Zahid immediately came out and vented his frustration inside the bathroom without anyone knowing.

The next morning, he and Lucas were struck by an announcement he never agreed to. Zahid quit the duo and decided to choose a job as a model and actor.

"What's this?"

"I don't know"

"What's? You never said anything to me" Lucas asked in surprise.

"You think I know?"

Zahid immediately went to his manager who turned out to have changed. Boni is assigned to be his assistant and manager, leaving Lucas. All the work for him has also been determined by the company, of course without being discussed at all with him. All of his singing work was transferred to Lucas and his new manager.

Despite being shocked and dislikeful of this new change, Zahid could do nothing about it. Even the director of the company can't do anything. All were orders from a man who had higher power and wealth. Harold Graham's. Zahid was forced to take on a new role already laid out for him. She was so upset at herself and forgot someone she left alone behind.

A year, two years passed, Zahid is now very busy with work as an actor. All the dramas, movies, commercials he starred in were always at the top of the rating. The company that was holding him came forward with him. In the middle of the night while she was resting on set, her phone rang. A name he had never remembered for two years.

"Lucas, how are you?" he asked but did not receive an answer from the person who contacted him.

There was only the sound of wind in Zahid's ears, he began to wonder where his best friend was at midnight.

"Zahid, please take care of Sarah"

"What?"

"I've always been proud to have a friend like you"

"Lucas, what do you mean?"

Silence began to appear and suddenly there was no sound from Lucas anymore.

Zahid wondered in his heart and turned off his phone as he was called back to take pictures. Early in the morning, she and Boni, her manager, went home to the apartment to rest.

"You can sleep for six hours. This afternoon we should talk about your new drama"

"The director allowed you to take a day off, why don't you take it?"

"no need. You just set it all up and get me"

"Yes, okay"

Zahid got himself into the luxurious apartment he got easily from his successful new movie and laid himself in the big bed. He was tired and could not think.

Not long after, his phone rang for a long time. Zahid lazily got up to answer, but was annoyed that his phone did not stop ringing.

"What?" he said he was upset without seeing who had contacted him.

"Basic Murderer!!! You're the traitor who killed my brother!!" answer someone with a voice known to Zahid.

"Sarah?? What's up?" Not getting an answer, the phone connection was cut off. Makes him not understand. But it was only short-lived as Boni sent a message that shocked her.

Zahid, Lucas committed suicide

Zahid jumped out of his bed and immediately exited the apartment. Boni appears in the elevator trying to hold him away.

"What do you mean?"

"I just got word after I got down from here. I don't believe it either" Boni said, dragging Zahid's large body back to his apartment.

"Cannot be. It can't be Lucas ... "

"I've asked a few people and they've said it's true"

"What's? But why?"

"I don't know. I'm gonna find out. But you better not go to his house first. Because there's a lot of rumors that you're the cause of Lucas' suicide"

"What???"

Zahid was very angry. He knew nothing about the friend he left behind. He was too busy with his job and forgot about Lucas. But ... isn't Lucas continuing the album they've been working on before? then, why did Sarah say that she was her sister's killer? Zahid tried to contact Sarah but was not answered. He contacted his mother who for two years was close to Lucas' mother, but also did not get an answer.

His three-day job was cancelled and Zahid was confined to his apartment without seeing his best friend's nutritional procession. News and rumors about Lucas eventually aired on every TV channel. But no one said it was Zahid's fault. It seemed, The director of the company and the big man were keeping his name as they used to. But he was shocked by the news Boni brought two days ago.

"Lucas apparently did not continue working on the album because the single was destroyed in the market. He has no job after parting ways with you. And it seems that's the cause of him ... "

"You lied"

"That's the news that appeared in the media before it was covered by the Director"

"Is that true?"

"What?"

"Is it true that he doesn't have a job because of me? Did he really die like that because of me??"

Feeling guilty about everything he did, Zahid suddenly fainted and became ill for several days.

After recovering and the news of Lucas' death disappears, Zahid goes to his best friend's funeral. He kneels apologizing for not remembering Lucas at all because of his busyness. He should have ...

"What are you doing here?"

Zahid stopped lamenting and looked at a seventeen-year-old girl with an annoyed look at him.

"Sarah, I"

"Don't touch the killer. My brother always treated you well and what was your reply? you left him devastated while you flew high and didn't turn your head at all. You petty man!!"

Zahid couldn't blame Sarah because it was all true. The thing is, he didn't do any of that on purpose.

"I'm sorry"

"Repent? Where were you when my brother was dumped by your company? Where were you when my brother had to build his career from below once again? Where were you when my brother stood on top of the building and decided to ... "

Zahid pulled the crying and angry woman together and felt like the worst person in the world.
