Episode 55's



"What's today's agenda?" zahid asked Boni, who now looks more like an executive than he does.


"You're scheduled to come to the ad shoot as well as the shoot. And tonight there's gonna be a dinner with Miss Sarah at the hotel"


"What does he want now?"


"Miss Sarah wants to talk about something important"


And now Boni is more accustomed to calling him with respect unlike the beginning.


"When do we go?"


"About an hour"


"Get out and come back in an hour"


Boni looked at him and understood Zahid's request in just a few seconds.


"All right sir"


After Boni exited his room, Zahid laid his back on his great chair and looked at the high-rise buildings under Graham's company. Today one year ago, he officially married Layla. Zahid never once touched his wife. Not because she was unable, but Layla refused to meet him. Since the Graham family's dinner, Zahid is forced to move into the apartment and Layla is also out of the house. And Zahid has never seen his wife again since then. The residence is difficult to trace because Frank is very protective of Layla.  Even meeting his wife, Zahid never at all.


The rare break quickly passed and Zahid became President Director of Graham's company, which is increasingly dominating the real estate business in the country. He stepped into a studio and saw many people greeting him respectfully. Seeing the place and the shooting staff reminded him of his old job. He also often gets advertisements because of his face and body. Something useless now.


"Welcome Sir. It's great to see you" said the director who led the shooting today. Zahid suddenly felt homesick with the atmosphere here. He wandered around in excitement and browsed through the properties to be used for the shoot.


"This is today's advertising model, sir. From the company of friends of the young Madam" the director obviously made Zahid look at a woman with thick makeup in front of him. And not knowing why, Zahid suddenly saw a familiar silhouette. The body of a woman he knew. Zahid broke through the crowd of models, managers and makeup artists and found a woman in denim pants and a simple blue shirt. Tied up hair, thin makeup and timid style, a look that was missed by her. Anyone in this place would not know that this woman was his wife. The real owner of Graham's company. Owner of everything here.


Feeling the attention of many people starting to turn to Layla made Zahid take a step back and walk again. Away from his wife whom he had not seen for eight months.


"Do you recognize someone, sir" asked the curious director.


"Just trying to remember what I did first" he answered resolving everyone's curiosity.


"I understand. You must miss this world"


In fact, Zahid did not miss the celebrity world he lived in. He had absolutely no intention of returning to the duania despite being kicked by Mr. Graham. Zahid wanted to live in his mother's house, work in the fields and live a simple life. But ...the woman who is hiding her identity again is her manahan.


"Prepare the room for the two of us" he immediately understood Boni who was following him from earlier.


"Well, and I'm surprised right now"


"Nobody here knows and keeps it that way"


"It feels like going back in time"


Zahid turned to Boni and smiled as Layla disguised herself as a poor man in her house.


"Well, everything's different now. And we both know that well"


"I know this place very well, it's easy to find a quiet place, but sussah to come out secretly"


"Forced him to get in the car" Zahid said again and then spread his gaze toward where his wife was standing.


"I'll try, but Frank's gotta be around here"


"Do whatever it takes and I'll give you a day off"


"Good Sir. I will execute the order with pleasure"


"Already" said Boni made Zahid immediately leave the studio without looking back.


"Did he make a revolt?" ask her to Boni who has difficulty following her steps to the car.


"No. Not at all"


"really?"


"Yes"


"Goodoo. Keep distance!"


"Zahid, shouldn't you set a time to talk?"


"I don't have time"


Boni stopped as their distance to the car got closer. Zahid stood right by the car door and took a breath before opening it.


In the car sat a woman who sat still and stared straight ahead. Zahid sat down next to him and started awkwardly. In fact, this was the moment he had been waiting for so long.


"What's calling me?" Suddenly the silent woman asked in a voice that Zahid had almost forgotten. A light voice that felt different from the last time he remembered. And again, Layla doesn't wear respectful calls to her anymore.


"We have to attend an event together next week" Zahid replied making excuses. Fortunately, the company's anniversary event will actually be held this weekend. Layla has always refused to attend official events that they should have attended but this time can no longer. This company is his father's company.


"I know"


"I'll pick you up"


"Not necessary"


"We need to come together"


"No need, I'll come with mom and dad. Also Miss Hannah"


"You're taking my mom?"


Zahid was surprised that Layla still remembered her mother.


"If there's nothing to talk about anymore" Layla seemed to want to get out of the car immediately and Zahid held her back. He held the arm of his wife he hadn't touched for nearly a year. It felt smaller than he remembered.


"Where do you live?"


Layla turned her head towards him and slowly took off Zahid's hand


"You don't need to know"


"I'm your husband. Still your husband"


Zahid saw this woman as different from the old Layla. His wife is more mature now. Layla was very calm and did not explode.


"I'll send it to Mr. Boni"


Zahid was at a loss for the words he had prepared when he met Layla. Just by looking and listening to his wife's voice alone, made him satisfied. He did not want to press Layla and make her further away.


"Just do what you want" he said, then watched Layla get out of the car.


He immediately called Boni to continue their work
