"You marry my son."
Deg.
Zayn raised his head while reflexively standing up from his seat. Actually he had heard the rumor from some employees who gossiped about him, but if now Haris really has said it it means not just a figment.
Haris remained silently behind him, while Zayn's hand clenched tightly. Not because he was angry, but because he was holding back his own ego not to say what was uneg-unegnya all this time. Which he always disdained every time he remembered the kindness of Haris to him.
Haris is known as a cold figure and likes to rule it arbitrarily. In fact, often Haris was indifferent to him when he knew Zayn was not feeling well. The point is Haris does not know any tolerance to Zayn. Of course it only applies to Zayn, while to other employees Haris is not searogan that.
However, Haris remains the best person he has ever known. If necessary, he will not be able to return the favor of Haris to his family.
When his father needed a kidney transplant a few years ago, Haris helped him find a kidney donor for his father. Even then Haris also paid for all the care of his father while undergoing treatment at a hospital in Singapore. Because at that time Zayn's financial situation was still less established, making him unable to refuse an offer from Haris at that time.
Not only that, about who helped him when he was hit by a consecutive accident that happened to him when he was in Batam first, it was also Haris who bore all the costs. He learned all that after accidentally hearing Vishnu chat with Ridwan a moment ago.
Although in fact lately Zayn tried to replace all the costs incurred by Haris despite not being able to pay fully, but always rejected by him. The reason may be because of this. It turns out that Haris wants Zayn to make up for it by being his son-in-law.
Isn't that more like barter to Zayn? Himself, even his heart had to be exchanged for Haris's request which he could not possibly grant.
If so, what should he do? To refuse him, impressing him as if Zayn didn't know the return. But if he accepts, Zayn's heart and feelings are still intact belonging to his former lover, Aurora.
"How, Zayn?" Haris turned his body fixedly staring at Zayn who was just speechless.
"You don't want to?" Haris was getting impatient.
"Sorry, sir." Only an apology could Zayn make, even though his heart wanted to say 'yes, I refused.'
"Curtain!" Haris grimaces. The man's devil smile looked at Zayn.
"Aren't you going to think about my request?" Apparently Haris still hopes the man approves his request.
And Zayn just fell silent with his head bowed, no longer daring to look at the glare of Haris' eyes that were so pushy looking at him.
"You can go." Haris' voice sounded resigned. Without thinking for a long time Zayn immediately left the room Haris who immediately turned tense.
Haris looked at the shadow of Zayn who had completely walked out of his room. Instantly, his sneaky smile was engraved with satisfaction when he saw the puzzled expression from Zayn earlier.
Haris grabs her phone, and then she sends someone a short message. Haris immediately developed a big smile as soon as the person he sent the message replied to him.
Haris' hand stretched open the drawer on his desk. He took a picture frame in which there is a photo of his only puppet princess, Aurora.
"Papi kangen you, son," he said.
"I'm sorry papi is too selfish with you. Can you still forgive your stubborn papa?"
It did not feel like the tears were pouring down Haris' cheeks. His longing for Ara was already deep. Even since he kicked Ara out, his relationship with his wife has been a little strained. Because Viona turned cold to him. And maybe they'll talk if it's important.

The CEO was very cunning. How not, he must be willing to be reported to the authorities on charges of embezzlement of office funds that he never did at all. His offer if he wants to be free from the accusation, then he must be willing to accept an offer from his CEO.
"Aaaaaarrrrgh......"
Zayn grabbed his own hair hard. He sat down on the floor, and his tears began to flow. Everything that is happening right now feels so stifling.
"I'm not his slave, am I? I just owe you. Is this karma, God? Please, help me to escape this trap. I can't stand it."
Zayn could only mutter to himself. The man was really not strong enough to live his life that was always under the confinement of Haris.
He thought for a moment, maybe if he sold his apartment and car and added savings maybe he could make up for all the costs that Haris had spent first. And of course indirectly he has redeemed his debt. So that makes him no longer feel hesitant to immediately resign from Rahardian Group.
Yach, Zayn's resolve is already unanimous. He stood up to sit in his chair. Then he turned on his phone to be able to offer his property in a widespread buying and selling field in sosmed.
It's okay he had to lose everything he had, which he got thanks to his hard work so far. Apart from the burden of indebtedness to Haris alone is his pent-up desire all this time. And after that he will be the former Zayn. The simple Zayn, who only loves his lover with all his heart only to Aurora.
"After this I'll find you, Ara. Anywhere, I'll find you."
Zayn looked at the only photo of Ara with her still in the gallery of her phone. After losing his phone, only one of the photos was left. Which he once uploaded on his social media site first.
An incoming call from Hanung is shown on his phone screen.
"What's up, Nung?" Ask with his hoarse voice.
"Are you okay, sir?"
Hanung questioned him not because of his own initiative. But because it was told by Vishnu, who wanted to know how Zayn was after hearing the shocking news.
"Ehem, ahem. The throat feels a little bad." Zayn is lying.
"Better you rest a lot, sir. About the project here let me take care. You don't have to worry. May you get well soon."
"Thank you, Nung. Have noticed my situation so far."
"It should be, sir. Because if there's something going on with you, won't I get hit too?"
Zayn was silent at the words of his assistant. If he had resigned later, what would be Hanung's fate? Didn't Hanung work because he was his personal assistant?
"Hallo.... Hello, Sir...."
Hanung's voice greeted him again. But Zayn chose to be quiet. Until the call was cut off, Zayn was still silent with a thousand languages.
