The Love Of Aurora
The Part 74
Zayn had prepared to wait for Haris to arrive at an elite restaurant Vishnu told him about. Intentionally he came first because he had chosen not to enter work aka skip work.
In his hand was a map containing his resignation letter. Well, his resolve is already unanimous today. He was really willing to lose everything as long as he could be free from the restraints of his superiors. The shadow of the place where he would look for Ara's whereabouts he had already plotted before.
Perhaps the first place he would go to was the house of Sisil. He no longer cares, even though Tommy always forbids him to go there. But after the affair with Haris was finished today, he had intended to come to Sisil's house. Whatever the speech, Zayn must be ready with all the risks.
Twenty minutes later, the man waited for Haris to arrive. While waiting for his arrival, Zayn busied himself while checking his phone. Suddenly, he feels confused with Hanung, an assistant who is usually always with him who is now separated even if only a few days.
"Yes, sir," Sapa Hanung from across the street.
"How's it going there, Nung?" Zayn greeted him kindly.
"Mmm, miss huh?" Hanung teased him instead.
Zayn chuckled at hearing that. He is not hypocritical if he is confused by the noise of his assistant.
"Sir, are we VC yuk?" Suddenly Hanung changes his calling mode with a video call, and Zayn agrees to that.
"Haiy....."
Not only did Hanung greet him when the call had changed mode, but there was also a little boy who was no stranger to greeting him.
"Hi...." Zayn also waved his hand to Hanung and Ziyyan.
"Nung, you're not working?" Zayn immediately questioned him because he was wondering why he could be with the little boy.
"It's another short break, sir, again the entrails in the restaurant of Bu Narsih." Hanung lowered his voice in his last sentence.
"Ck! You're it!" Zayn could no longer say anything. Because he himself actually does not care much anymore about the project there, because he had intended to resign from his duties.
"Yeshine...."
Ziyyan called out to him so excitedly. The sparkle of his eyes so signifies he is very happy to meet again with Zayn, whom he recognizes as his father.
Zayn was stunned for a moment, this was the second time the boy had called him father. He grew suspicious of the boy's confession, why he still called him that.
"When's dad here again?" Ziyyan greeted him again.
"Ziyyan, he's not Ziyyan's father." A middle-aged woman also greeted Ziyyan.
The little boy cried after hearing the reprimand from his grandmother. Then it was seen that his grandmother had taken him away from Hanung's lap.
"Hanung," Zayn reprimanded that made Hanung immediately wavered.
Actually Hanung also did not understand why Ziyyan still called her superior father. As far as Hanung knew, Narsih's mother and Ziyyan's mother had told him.
"Why are you the same, huh?" Zayn was curious.
Actually Zayn himself did not mind if the boy had thought of him as his father, only he wanted to know the reason for the story how it could happen so.
"Look, sir." Hanung seemed to think for a moment.
"When did you come back here? I'll explain everything to you."
Really, Hanung felt that it would take him a long time if he had to explain just by phone. Because actually it is not only that he wants to explain, but there are also more important things related to him.
Suddenly Hanung's expression turned startled, after seeing Haris standing behind Zayn.
"Ehem...." Haris cleared his throat loudly.
Zayn and Hanung finally ended their activities, after Haris had sat in front of him.
Zayn turned around, apparently his superior was meeting him only alone. For a moment they just looked at each other without greeting.
"Give me one reason why you won't accept my offer." Haris directly to the point with the aim of inviting to meet with Zayn.
Zayn bowed, his heart a little restless to be frank with his superior.
"Do you have a candidate of your own?"
"But as far as I'm concerned you never have time to find a future wife, do you?"
Zayn stared fixedly at the man sitting in front of him." You interrupting me?" Ask doesn't like it.
Haris just clucked. He then showed his thin smile to the man who looked worried about his words.
"If I don't investigate you, there's no way I'm offering you to marry my son!"
That's true too. And Zayn came back just silent.
"Even how your parents are, I know that too." Haris emphasized in that sentence.
"So, have you thought about what kind of risk you have to take?"
Zayn nodded confidently. The man seemed very resigned to the decision of his superior who intended to report it to the authorities if he still refused the offer. Zayn simply did not want to betray his feelings, maybe this was one way to make up for his previous mistakes to Ara. She loved her daughter until the end of her life.
"I'm sorry, sir." That one word finally came out of Zayn's lips.
Haris looked at him seriously. "You still haven't explained why you don't want to marry my son." It turns out that Haris is still waiting for that reason.
"Actually..."
Zayn was still a little hesitant to tell it, only if he did not finish it at this time would his boss still be cool with his will.
"Actually I have a dark past with my lover, sir," I'm Zayn in the end.
Haris kept waiting for the man to continue his story.
"I've done fatal things, until-my girlfriend's pregnant."
"Trus, you're not responsible. That so?" Haris is getting curious about the continuation.
Zayn shook his head in doubt. "I just found out that my girlfriend got pregnant after I was here. It might have been my girlfriend trying to tell him, but it was circumstances that kept us apart until now."
Zayn's eyes began to glaze over as he told it, and Haris realized that. Actually Haris himself already knew if it was unintentional by Zayn. He already knew all that from Ridwan. And actually Haris understood that, because when Ara was driven from her house it was with Zayn who was hit by an accident at that time.
Therefore Haris did not want to blame Zayn, because of an incident that was unintended by the man. Zayn never intended to leave his girlfriend at the time, had the accident never happened to him. After knowing that, so Haris made it so. He wanted to investigate for himself how excited and the character of his son's lover, although in a way that seemed arrogant to him.
Haris really does not want his son's lover to be separated from his grasp. At first he was also disappointed and very angry with Zayn. But after finding the man's sincere intention when working with him, making him even more affectionate if he had to release the figure of a man he could rely on in Rahardian Group. To rely on her own child is impossible, because indeed Ara's education must be interrupted when the girl is pregnant unexpectedly.
Haris deliberately removed his face from the man who had been crying in front of him. Actually, he really wanted to be frank with the man that he was the father of the boyfriend he meant. But the heart was still too proud to admit it.
"This what?" Haris diverts his conversation by questioning the contents of the map that Zayn handed to him.
Zayn immediately wiped away his tears. He should be ready to hear whatever decision his superior made after reading his resignation letter.
Slowly Haris opened the map, read carefully. Haris's forehead creased as he read the letter, and the man stared intently at Zayn, who was waiting for his approval.
"You!"
Haris was silent as his hand gripped his left chest which was painful. Shortly after that...
Bruk!!
