The Love of the Stepchild

CHAPTER 46. Just similar or real.

Two Years later.

A man was sitting on the balcony, where the hotel room was staying, with his assistant who was also sitting there.

The two of them had just arrived in country A this afternoon, and the plan would be to be in country A for the next three days.

Because there's business they have to settle here.

And since then between the two of them no one has spoken, still cool with his own world, while the occasional puff of smoke poured into the air, marked the two men were smoking.

Maybe for his assistant smoking has been done for a long time, but not with the man who has the status of his boss, who began to want to smoke since two years ago.

He said to relieve stress, the many burdens of life that he experienced, and to divert a sense of emptiness in the part of his heart that until now has not been found.

Just smoking no more, so he answered whenever his friend said, now it has started to go stubborn huh? Not taking care of your health anymore.

And I don't know how many cigarettes that have been used up are now in the ashtray, because since this afternoon after reaching the hotel room, immediately sitting on the balcony while smoking.

"Sir, I'm sorry to take a shower" said Galang, who then stood up and left, but Zeon's question undoes his intention.

"Tomorrow to meet Mr. Be, what time is it?"

"Eight o'clock in the morning, sir," he answered confidently.

Zeon breathed heavily. "I think during the day, it's lazy to come out early in the morning."

Galang only smiled slightly not responding to Zeon's small mutterings which he thought were strange unlike showing a businessman.

But that's how Zeon, who Galang has known for two years, a little lazy at work, but still he did.

After Galang went to take a bath, now there lived Zeon himself who sat there, his eyes looking forward, which looks so beautiful city in this country A.

The night breeze was soothing to his face, making him feel comfortable and at ease outside.

After finishing the last cigarette, Zeon stopped, now standing right on the edge of the balcony.

Just being silent with a distant look glazed over, yet the look in his eyes clearly described the sense of wound so deeply.

"Sir, please take a shower, I'm done."

Galang's words managed to disperse his daydream, but did not immediately go from there, five minutes later Zeon entered the room, and locked the balcony window.

Galang had taken a sleeping position, it seemed like Galang was very tired, yes they only rented one room.

After Zeon took a bath, Galang fell asleep next to him, while Zeon could not sleep either.

Suddenly his heart remembered someone.

Zelea.

Zeon stayed awake for a long time and remembered only one name, until drowsiness came.

All the agenda of his meetings with clients in country A, has been smooth. Zeon and Galang are currently in one of the city's famous boutiques.

They were buying a new suit to attend the Tin Group company's anniversary event.

They did not return to the inn, because it would take time, it was already six in the afternoon, and the event would start at seven in the evening.

After getting out of the famous boutique already using a new suit, Zeon and Galang drove his car to the event venue.

After Zeon set his foot out of the car, Zeon saw the magnificent building in front of him.

Lots of people came and mostly wearing suits like him.

"Let's Master," Galang's call broke his daydream.

Now the two of them together walked to the entrance of the hotel ballroom.

It was so majestic and beautiful, so admiration of everyone who would see the space inside.

They continued walking without knowing where to sit, but Zeon's sudden voice stopped Galang's steps.

"We meet Rendi, then we find a seat."

Rendi Tom's, her name is the owner of this magnificent party, one of Zeon's business colleagues that Zeon will meet in country A.

They continued to walk to look for Rendi, and after circling around looking for the existence of Rendi in this vast space finally found the owner as well, too, who turned out to be currently standing was chatting with the man behind the biggest ornamental flower in this room.

"Joint."

"Zeon."

As soon as they say hello to each other, and in the second later embrace each other.

"At last you arrived in my country" said Rendi, now they face each other and throw a smile at each other.

"Later change you should also come in my country, " replied Zeon, and Rendi immediately nodded her head.

"Surely, wait for me to come there, ok." Rendi patted Zeon's shoulder.

Actually as long as Zeon exchanged greetings with Rendi, there was a figure tickling his heart, Zeon was sure the woman standing next to Rendi was the woman that Zeon had been looking for all these years.

Although the appearance of the woman changed, which now looks more glamorous.

But Zeon was still able to recognize the woman from her pretty faceline.

But to the question of Zeon's heart, the woman seemed to not recognize him, even the attitude of the woman was ordinary.

Though Zeon had dreamed that someday meet will immediately embrace like scenes in romantic movies.

But it turned out that at this time it did not happen, his heart still continued to convince that Zeon was not wrong people.

"Galang, who was the woman that was with Rendi earlier?" zeon asked, after Rendi and the woman with him left, welcoming the other guests as well.

"I thought you knew first." He stopped saying he was thinking a little. "Like Miss Zelea."

"But is it really Zelea or just someone who looks alike?" ask Zeon again.

This time Galang seemed confused in giving an opinion, afraid of mispronunciation and even cause problems.

"Maybe it's just like Mister." Finally that sentence which Galang chose to answer.

"You're wrong, she's right Zelea." Zeon was convinced this time because his eyes had met Zelea's eyes before she lowered her head.

"Now that we go home, tomorrow we will find out what reasons he avoided" Zeon said again and immediately stepped to the exit, following Galang behind him.

Galang again run his car, in this country they have to rent a car that is used for activities while in this country.

Zeon propped up his chin staring out the window, watching the beautiful night road in the city.

Do you still doubt my love for you at that time? Until now you pretended not to recognize me.

If you had known, I would have endured this wound and longed for you, inner Zeon.
