The Left Behind Name

Back to the house

"Come in." replied Zein from inside the room.

Upon hearing Zein's reply, a servant entered with a bowl of porridge on a tray he carried with both hands.

"This is the vegetable porridge, sir." said the waiter, bowing his head politely.

"All right, just put it on the table." Zein ordered, pointing at the table next to the bed.

The servant followed Zein's orders by putting the porridge in his hand right on the table, then walked back a few steps from Zein's face and stood up while saying. "Is there anything I can help you with, sir?"

"Nothing, thank you." Zein replied briefly.

Then the servant left Zein and Rania.

Meanwhile, Zein stood up to pick up the porridge and feed his wife.

"Darling... Let me feed ya?" zein asked as he pointed his porridge-filled hand over the spoon right in front of his wife's mouth.

"I can be alone" said Rania as she tried to reach for the spoon and bowl of porridge in her husband's hand.

"Hmmm... This time you must not argue with your husband, dear." - Zein winked his eyes while keeping the bowl away from his wife.

Seeing Zein clean hard to do that, Rania also chose to obey her husband's will.

"Zein.." asked Rania while chewing the porridge that had just been fed by her husband.

"Pulse... Why sweetheart?" answer Zein.

"Did you do this to every woman often?" rania asked, still with her mouth chewing softly.

"Of course." replied Zein briefly while feeding again.

This time Rania was silent and did not open her mouth, the answer from her husband seemed to upset her.

"Why don't you open your mouth, baby? You just ate a spoon." asked Zein as he looked at his wife's pouting face.

"I don't want to be bribed anymore, give me the bowl...!" pinta Rania is upset.

"You're still limp, baby. Don't be stubborn." Zein explained. Then put the bowl of porridge on the table.

"Come on another woman, I can eat by myself." replied Rania in a sharp tone.

"Oh... So that's why you got upset and locked your mouth out of my mouth? Dear... In this world, there are only two women who are lucky to get a bribe from me. First mama when sick and to my two beautiful wives." explained Zein as he pinched the spoiled nose of his wife.

Hearing the sentence just now was enough to make Rania's heart blush. He blushed in shame, his pouting face turned into a face that showed a red hue.

"Eat it on the next, huh?" pinta Zein smiled. Rania nodded as well.

"Darling... When are we going home?" Rania was not at home if she had to linger in that place. Moreover, there was Yina who made him upset.

"After we catch the culprit, we'll be home soon, baby." Zein replied reassuringly. "Oh... Yeah, why did you come out alone this morning? Should've stayed in my room and called me if I wanted to get out...!" continued.

Rania was silent with a blank look. She tries to remember what happened when she saw her husband near Yina in the cafe before something bad happened to her.

"Darling... What are you thinking?" her husband's words spread her daydream.

"Why should I call you. I don't want to disturb your time with that woman." replied Rania with an annoyed face while clenching her lips together.

Dying with women? Whatdoes thatmean? What don't-don't... Rania saw me at the cafe with Yina and David? Inner Zein was confused.

"Darling... You mean I was alone with Yina this morning?" ask Zein again.

"Don't mention the woman's name... I don't like to hear it." replied Rania as she turned her face away from her husband who was still holding a bowl of porridge.

"God... Honey, you're misunderstanding, there's not only me and Yina, but there's David, too. Didn't you see David? And again... If you saw me, why didn't you come to me then? Even go alone to a lonely place." defended Zein.

Hearing her husband's words further upset Rania's heart. Zein was very insensitive to her jealous feelings at the time.

Because of what happened to me this morning... I even forgot my jealousy towards that damn woman. But until now you still do not realize it? You're an insensitive man, Zein. Rania.

"If I were there sitting alone with another man, would you be angry?" rania's question this time was enough to make her husband's heart flinch.

For a moment Zein digested the sentence that his wife had just handed him, trying to remember the events of this morning, he realized he was sitting together and joking with Yina. But he did not think if it hurt his wife's feelings, so far he was good friends with Yina and David while still in college together.

"Darling..." Zein clasped Rania's hand and said. "Are you jealous of Yina?"

Rania was silent without any answer.

"Darling... Me and Yina were just friends, nothing more. You should be able to be more mature in responding to every relationship. Don't you trust your own husband?" zein said reassuring Rania who was being upset by jealousy.

"If I don't believe you... From the beginning, I wouldn't agree that you're taking me to this place" Rania said in an annoyed tone. "And one more... You think that woman only thinks you're a friend? Women are different from men, women have a very soft feeling and are easily tempted by the attention of men even though it is only a small concern" he continued.

Zein was silent. Given his every friendship with Yina, almost in every partnership with Yina and David. Yina is indeed different attitude with him and David, Yina always shows her happy face in front of him and impressed always sitting near him and always wanted to be delivered by Zein when returning to college. But he never thought that if Yina kept the taste to him. In his mind, it felt impossible.

"Darling... Sorry if my closeness to Yina makes you jealous and upset" Zein said as if feeling guilty towards Rania.

Rania just silently heard her husband's guilty statement against her.

Then Zein hugged his wife's body warmly. Rania also accepted it as if drifting in the sincerity of her husband. She knew her husband was not someone who could tempt or seduce other women. Zein is only a man who is too kind and gentle so a woman he considers a friend can misinterpret his closeness as a friend.

In silence amid the warm embrace of the two.

Suddenly there was a knock behind the door and threw the two away and let go of the embrace.

"Darling... Wait here yes! I went out first and saw who was knocking on the door." pinta Zein to Rania while gently touching Rania's cheek, Rania nodded.

Zein got up from her seat on the bed, walked up to the door and opened it.

At the door was Ronald, who was waiting for him to open the door.

"How's it?" zein asked curiously to find out the results of their search, while closing the door and walking up to the chair in front of his room and sitting on the chair.

Meanwhile Ronald was still in a position of standing politely beside Zein.

"Sit down." Zein told Ronald.

"Master, I'm sorry.. This time I did not manage to complete my task properly, I could not find the man despite having searched all over the Resort area." Ronald explained with a feeling of failure.

For the first time Ronald disappointed Zein, all this time he could always complete the task Zein gave perfectly and successfully.

Hearing the words from Ronald enough to make Zein disappointed.

"How can the man get out of a place that has been closed? It feels impossible." said Zein as if in disbelief.

"I think so too, sir. But in reality, he had already left the resort. I suspect he has connections so he can escape this place." Ronald guessed.

"You mean, in other words, his crime was not just an ordinary crime just to tempt my wife? Unless there's a brain behind this incident and you want to hurt my wife?" asked Zein with a surprised face.

"It can be said that way, sir. But we still have time to find the man outside the Resort, I will continue to investigate after this and look for the man to be able to catch him" Ronald said with an enthusiastic look.

"alright... Keep investigating the case and find the brain of the case. I'll make sure he'll be locked up in iron bars for the rest of his life." Zein said that sentence in a tone full of anger, visible from the look of his sharp eyes.

"Well, sir." replied Ronald firmly.

"In the near future we'll be home from this place, my wife's not comfortable being here much longer. I don't want him to dissolve in his discomfort. Because it will affect his mental. So then... Please prepare everything now!" zein's orders to Ronald.

"Well, sir." Ronald replied, nodding politely.

Zein immediately got up from her seat and went back into the room and approached Rania and sat next to Rania facing Rania's face.

"Darling... We're going home tonight, too. You don't need to feel upset and uncomfortable anymore being in this place, I won't take you to this place anymore if it will only make you feel uncomfortable. What makes you uncomfortable, then I won't feel comfortable either." Zein said gently with a smile.

Rania smiled happily at the sentence her husband had just said. At the very least, her husband had already begun to realize that Yina was putting a taste in him, being able to keep a distance from Yina and not being too gentle anymore to Yina.

They began packing, Zein had already driven his wife into the back of the car. Then closed the door and walked around to get into the car through the car door next to him and sat next to his wife.

Likewise with his guards who were preparing to get into their respective cars. This time Zein brought along his entourage of trained bodyguards. Unmitigated Ronald brought a bodyguard that is not a few to meet ten cars.

The line of cars lined up, now ready to slide drive Zein home. Five cars were in the front row of the cars Zein and Rania were riding in and five more were in the rear row of Zein's cars. The car Rania and Zein were riding in the middle of a line of bodyguards. It felt like no one would dare to mess with them with a row of cars in it full of bodyguards.

The line of cars began to walk towards the exit of the Resort. However the gate was still closed, the gate attendant would not open the gate before getting an order from Yina. And one of them tried to contact Yina by phone.

Meanwhile, Yina, who was busy preparing for her birthday party that Zein would attend that night, did not realize that Zein would leave her resort before attending her birthday party.

Suddenly a servant came to Yina and gave Yina a phone call. "Sorry Miss, this is a call from the gatekeeper who wants to talk to Miss." while handing the phone handle over to Yina. Yina grabbed him and put him in his ear.

"Yes, hello... What's up?" ask Yina flat.

"Miss... There are a few cars that want to get out of the resort. Do I have to open the gate?" ask the gatekeeper across the phone.

Some car...? Wh who? Inner Yina was curious.

"Please ask on whose behalf?" reply Yina.

The gatekeeper approached the car at the front and knocked on the glass window.

Then Ronald opened the window of his car and said. "Let's just say this is master, Zein."

Hearing the words from Ronald, the gatekeeper immediately conveyed to Yina.

"Miss... He said it was the master, Zein." said the gatekeeper.

Whahs... The zein? Why did he suddenly come home without telling me before? Inner Yina was shocked to hear the guard's words.

But this time Yina would not ask much and chose to let him go home. "Let her go." said Yina from across the phone and ended her call violently and threw the phone down on the sand.

What's wrong with her? Why did he leave before my show started? He hasn't even contacted me before... Zein, you really disappointed me. Yina was full of disappointment.

The doorman immediately opened the gate upon hearing Yina's reply.

Then the line of cars came out of the Resort to leave the Resort.

On the way, Zein did not let go of his embrace of his wife. Zein wrapped her left hand behind Rania's stage until her palm touched Rania's shoulder and held her tightly. Then his right hand grasped Rania's right hand gently.

Being in the arms of her husband, Rania seemed to feel the peace of soul to make her lean her head on her husband's shoulder.

It looks like a row of cars through the cold of the night and the dark of the night in the middle of the trees on the left and right side of the road.

The couple was late in the night warmth in a car that was not too cold.

Suddenly there was a voice calling from within Zein's pocket. Zein's phone sounded. The call finally woke Rania up from her shoulder and loosened her head from her husband's shoulder and rested her head on the back of the car seat.

With Zein receiving the call immediately, it seems that the call came from David.

"Yes... What's up, Vid?" ask Zein.

"Zeez... I want to talk to you right now." replied David across the phone.

"Currently... I forgot to tell you, Vid. I'm on my way home right now. So can't talk in person, just say it over the phone." Zein said.

Um... Why did she come home before Yina's birthday party and get impressed all of a sudden? Inner David was astonished.

"Oh... Then I'll be at your place tomorrow. I don't want to talk about this over the phone." replied David.

Why why anyway? Usually it is like that too. Inner Zein was astonished to hear his friend's reply. Maybe he wants to say something important? Ah... Never mind, just wait for tomorrow. Thought Zein was curious.

"Alright, you can come see me at the office tomorrow" Zein replied briefly.

"OK." replied David as he ended his call.
