"My father, he is from Turkey. And my mother is Indonesian-Turkish. I was born in Istanbul. My father used to be a drummer before he started his business. Maybe, that's why he gave me the name Zildjian. He really likes music. I spent my childhood in Turkey. My father died in a car accident. I was thirteen, and Evan was three. From then on, my mother took care of the four of us alone."
"Four?" Naya furrowed her brows, after all Zian only had two brothers. Fahri and the youngest, Evan.
"Yes, four! Fahri, me, Evan and Elsa. Elsa is Evan's twin sister. I decided to move to this city after my father's departure. And we started a new life. Eventually something sad happened in our family. My beloved sister, Elsa...
He was eight years old then. When a criminal kidnaps her. They're... Mafia trafficking of human organs is illegal. Elsa disappeared for several days, until police found the body of a child wrapped in a sack. Without his organs. When found, the body was rotting. We recognized her from the clothes she had worn before she went missing.
My mother was very shocked by the incident. In fact, for months the mother was always hysterical when she remembered Elsa. I was so devastated by that incident. Every inch of my body was like it was burning with anger. I couldn't stand it, then left the house, looking for the man who killed my sister. I swore I'd find the culprit, the one who killed Elsa so badly. That was the beginning so I became a mafia, when I was eighteen. In fact, I didn't finish my school.
And my-my mother... For two years of depression, she drowned in her guilt for Elsa. I feel like I failed in my duties as a mother. In the end, my mother got sick and I decided to go home after two years of my departure. My mother died shortly after my return.
Evan was ten years old. Fahri and I raised him together. We became his mother and father.
But I can't forget what happened to Elsa. And also to my mother.
I decided to go back to look for the mobster who killed my sister. By becoming a mafia traffickers human organs. I got into that mafia syndicate. I beat them without mercy, though I did not kill them. Gradually, I began to be known as Mr. Maliq, the mafia mafia. Someone who has no compassion.
I swore I would never let anything that happened to Elsa happen to anyone else. Whoever it is. I took and kidnapped their victims, whether they were children or adults. Sometimes I buy from them at a very high price.
Then after that, I gave them back to their families alive and well. I don't want them to be the same fate as Elsa.
Every time I think of Elsa's body, which lost all her organs, my blood is boiling. If I had found the culprit, maybe I would have become a murderer.
The weapons in that room belong to the mobsters I've dealt with. I took the gun away from them, so they couldn't hurt anyone else with it. I don't kill, but I cut off their thumbs and index fingers, so they can't shoot anymore.
For years, I played the role of a mob boss. Alex and Marissa are my friends. Me and Alex are met by fate. Although we have the same reasons for being mafia, but we have different goals. I became a mafia because I didn't want what Elsa was going through to happen to anyone else. As for Alex, the goal is just revenge.
The three of us are the most feared mobsters of all. Rumors have it that Maliq, Alex and Marissa are the most ruthless mobsters. The reason why they gave me the nickname mafia mafia, was because I became a terrible mafia for them.
I have no mercy on those who commit crimes. Especially for those who can kidnap people and trade their organs.
I've been in that black world for years. Fahri and Evan never knew what I was doing out there.
You know one thing, Naya... Until now, police are still searching for the whereabouts of Mr. Maliq. They never knew who or where the Maliq lord came from.
And, the day I accidentally shot you, was when I saved a woman from being kidnapped. Alex and I managed to foil the kidnapping. But I never thought that day would be the day I regretted for the rest of my life. Because of me, it has caused your life to be filled with struggle.
After that day, I felt shackled by my guilt for the little girl I shot. I kept looking for him and kept looking for him. I only remember her plain face.
And from then on, I decided to forget all my grudges against the man who had destroyed me. The departure of Elsa and mother. And think of it as part of the destiny I have to live.
I went back to my previous life. A Zildjian Maliq Azkara. I started building the Kia Group from the ground up with Anita. You know, I named all my companies using your initials...
"Please, trust me. I'm not as bad as the stories that are circulating out there about Mr. Maliq."
Zian dropped his tears after telling his dark life story. While Naya was still pecking with a clear liquid that soaked her face.
"I'm just gonna ask you to." They then hugged each other, releasing all of his burden.
Now I know who my Zian really is. He's not a bad guy. And I'm lucky to have it. Thank God, I'm sure behind everything that's happened to me, there must be a beautiful plan for me.
"May I ask you something?" said Naya.
"Ask!"
"Where did you and Anita meet? What kind of relationship do you guys have?"
Zian was silent for a moment hearing the question. The secret of Anita's past is known only to Zian. Even Marvin Alexander did not know the origin of an Anita.
"You believe me, don't you?" zian asked as he stroked the wife's face. Naya replied with a slow nod.
"I believe it, but... I was really curious about Anita. She's so beautiful and graceful. But on the other hand, he was someone who was extremely terrifying. He even always carries a firearm in his blazer pocket."
"I asked him to do it."
"What?" Naya widened her eyes hearing Zian's words.
"Anita always carries a gun in her pocket because I asked for it. You know, behind Anita's toughness, she's just a fragile girl. But he managed to cover it up perfectly."
Naya was increasingly filled with questions in her mind, about Anita who had been so loyal to be beside Zian. Even for Anita, Zian is the only human being on this earth. Others are only considered pebbles.
"One day you'll know. I have no right to expose someone's past. All you have to know is one thing, Anita is an amazing girl. And I, can't keep her out of my life."
Zian stroked Naya's face, then gave a kiss on her forehead and lips alternately.
"Now I just want to start my life with you. I wish I could make up for all my mistakes with you. From the moment I shoot you, and you have to live within limits. And it was my fault for ignoring you for that one year. I'm sorry..."
"I love you" whispered Naya.
"me too. Thank you for giving me a second chance. And, thank you for being pregnant with my son. Now, all I want to do is make you happy. That's all..."
