"So, this is our actor's house?" leo asked after Boni drove Layla home. Leo did not stand guard in front of the house like the other bodyguards and accompanied Layla who was now packing groceries.
"Yes"
"good too. But, I think he'll be richer than this"
"Why do you think that?"
"Because he's been president for a year"
Layla stopped packing her groceries and started thinking. Yes yes too. Didn't Zahid get a salary as President? But why didn't Layla ever get word that the man was buying land or a new house? Is it possible that Mr. Zahid diverted his income to others? His mother, or Sarah? Various conclusions revolved around Layla's brain, making her a little sad right now.
"I don't know. I never knew"
"But you're not his wife?"
"You must know that it's all just ... "
"Theatricality?"
Layla looked at her friend and bodyguard from the small.
"Yes"
"You're an adult apparently Miss"
"What do you mean?"
"You can tell which is reality and fantasy"
Leo's words were so deep in Layla's heart. Reality and fantasy. Which part is he currently living? The fantasy of being married to Zahid? Or behave like wives despite the fact that they are forced to unite because of company problems.
"And you're very good at talking now. What brings you here Leonard?" ask Layla. To his knowledge, Frank has since taken Leonard abroad for treatment. To this day, Layla considers Leonard to have lived there comfortably, perhaps even having a family. But it turned out ... .
"I came here to look after Miss"
"From what?"
Leonard did not immediately answer Layla's question. There was worry in his heart.
"From ... "
"Are they going to do something again?"
"Possibility"
"Why?"
"Because of the news that you will serve as Chairman of the company"
"Why are they doing something now? Wasn't Zahid someone else, too"
"It looks like your husband is a smart man. He could bring the enemy closer easily and make them friends. Very experienced businessman"
Layla was surprised.For this long she had no idea what-a-what about it.
"So, you mean?"
"I still don't know your husband very well. Later ... if I know him better, you will get the full news"
Layla swallowed the saliva that was in her mouth cavity with the fruit. The shadow of the events fifteen years ago reappeared in his head. The faces of his father and mother were unceasingly crying, as well as a lot of blood covering Leonard's body. Really, he wanted to forget everything but it wasn't easy to do.
"Then we should get acquainted"
A deep voice slowly made Layla calm. He looked up and saw Mr. Zahid enter the house. This time without Boni.
"Ohh. Of course" replied Leonard and then approached Zahid sir. Their height may be almost the same, but Layla sees the prestige of Mr. Zahid so radiant that it covers Leonard's street style.
"I'm Zahid Abassy"
"I'm Leonard"
"I'm Layla's husband"
"I'm his bodyguard. And need to be corrected, you are the husband on Miss's paper"
Mr. Zahid walks past Leonard and takes the groceries from Layla's hand.
"I'm Layla Graham's husband"
A beam of light entered into Layla's heart that had been cold for a year.
"Haha. Alright. Actually, I know all about you. Including your family and your affair"
Mr. Zahid looked into Layla's eyes and said something had blown her to pieces.
"Sarah you mean?"
Layla averted her eyes and tried to stay firm even though her own husband admitted to the affair in front of her. Even mentioned the name of the woman.
"Can you speak for yourself? I have to clean this up"
"I can do it myself"
"Have you chosen a dress to wear tomorrow?"
"Already"
"You need to be fully prepared before you step foot into the company"
It's been. Don't talk anymore! pinta Layla in heart. He could not bear to continue hearing this man's voice. She might cry here.
"I was ready" Layla said, taking over her groceries and going into the dressing room.
Not knowing how long Layla held her groceries behind the door. He's only been doing it for a while. At least until the pain no longer torments him. Try to catch and exhale regularly and slowly and then continue with the work. She also had to start cooking now. The sun has started to sink in the West and leaves a beautiful orange beam. Not as good as Layla's mood. He went out and looked for Leonard.
"The boy is gone"
Layla looked up and saw that Mr. Zahid had changed his clothes.
"Why Leo?"
"Frank called him"
"Oh" If for that reason, Layla couldn't argue. It's just, she wanted to cook for Leonard but now can't.
"I'll prepare dinner"
"Not necessary"
"But"
"I told you that your job here is not to cook. Moreover, you are the prospective President of the company"
"But I ... " Just now Layla wants to say that she's hungry, Zahid has cut off the conversation.
"I'm going to eat out, with Sarah. Don't wait for me to come home"
Mr. Zahid stepped away from his own home. Leaving Layla pecking for some time before getting into the kitchen. He opened the fridge and found eggs and rice. What can be done, he should cook something simple for himself.
A bowl of fried rice and a glass of cold water laid Layla on the dining table. Friends with the cell phone, he started eating. But, he can't eat. She was too busy biting her lips to hold back the crying. Being in this big house by yourself. Lonesome. Layla was back in her teens after Lonard left. He knew that this was what he would face after deciding to become President. And Layla can't back down anymore. All he could do was learn and master everything in quick time. That way, he can free Mr. Zahid quickly and not bother his parents anymore. Layla brought the fried rice she made into the kitchen and threw it away. He drank water and went to sleep.
"What are you doing here?" ask Zahid's mother to see her son coming at dinner.
"I want to eat with my mom"
"really?"
"Yes"
Suddenly from behind his mother, Zahid sees the woman whose name is mentioned in front of Layla.
"Good night Brother Zahid" said Sarah and approached.
"You here?"
"Yes. I came to deliver my mother's homemade food"
"Then I'll go to Mom's room"
"I'll tell you that dinner is ready" said her mother letting Zahid go to her room.
What Zahid doesn't know, Sarah follows him from behind. He went into the room and lay on the bed. I feel so tired today. He had to prepare for Layla and convince all the women to come just to learn how to do business. He had to accompany Layla's cousin for a drink. Fortunately, he was not fooled and could go home without getting drunk. Then it hit him right in the chest. His eyes opened and Zahid saw Sarah's face there.
"What are you doing?"
"Why? Brother Zahid doesn't know why I'm doing this?"
"Go to the kitchen!"
Sarah eventually left her body but not from the room.
"I've been patient for a year, being an affair, brother Zahid. Do you know what it's like to be considered a domestic destroyer of people at my job?"
"I told you to stop. All your salary and living expenses are always sent"
"Mom wants me to get married. I'm not young anymore"
"I'll find you a husband"
"With your affair background. How can I get married?"
"Then, what do you want?"
"Married me!"
Zahid could not believe he heard something as ridiculous as this. Boni had already reminded him of this, but he did not assume Sarah would do so. But now he is conscious. A woman's heart never knows what it is.
