THE NEGLECTED ZAHRA DIAMOND

Chapter 24

A painting buyer who was curious about the meaning of Zalika's painting approached the little girl to ask the meaning of the painting that so bewitched the art lovers

"Tell me what this painting means, son?" ask the buyer of the painting who is so curious about the meaning of the painting in his hand

"It was a feeling of greatness, he loved me so much that he was willing to sacrifice his happiness for me. He was even willing to be kicked out of the house of the man he loved just to defend me. Right now Mamah knows I want her to come back with dad, because I miss my dad so much, that he is willing to reject the proposal of the man he loves to keep my feelings. Although I was happy to see that she was not married to that man, but I was sad to see that she looked empty. He smiled but was not happy, that's what made me feel even more guilty for having blessed his love," Zalika replied, making everyone in the place teary-eyed to hear him

"So what do you want now?"

"I want you to be happy" said Zalika made Zahra not believe Hear him

The woman approached her daughter, "Mamah is happy to see you grow up well, there is no unhappy mother when she sees her son proud of his family. And you always give me that happiness, baby" said Zahra

"But still I haven't made you happy. Even though Mom always smiles in front of me, but I know you always cry when I fall asleep. If Om Gading can make mamah smile then marry him," replied Zalika made everyone stunned to see

He then took Zahra's arm and took her away to Ivory who was also present at the place.

"I want you to be happy" said the girl uniting Zahra's hands with Ivory.

Everyone present at the place was immediately moved to see the attitude of Zalika who tried to unite her mother with the woman she loved.

Ivory smiled and looked at Zalika, "Thank you dearly for blessing us" he said

"I hope Om can make you always smile,"

"Of course, honey,"

Because Ivory did not bring a wedding ring, he proposed to Zahra using a red rose.

"Will you be my wife?" tanya Ivory

Zahra immediately nodded, making everyone immediately applaud.

After the event was over, Gading invited Zahra and Zalika to dinner at an expensive restaurant. He deliberately invited the two to celebrate his happy day because he had officially proposed to Zahra.

"I'm sorry I'm not as romantic as other men,"

"It's okay, after all, our age is no longer young to do things that are usually done by young couples. For me the most important thing is your seriousness because that's all I need" Zahra replied

"Thank you for understanding Za,"

Ivory seemed to notice Zalika who was enjoying her food.

"You must have been very hungry after painting earlier" said Gading

Zalika just nodded and resumed eating again.

After dinner, Ivory drove them back to his house. How surprised to find Zahra and Zalika living in a slum.

"How can you live in a neighborhood like this?" tanya Ivory

"I was forced to stay here for a while while waiting for the house to finish in the renov, " replied Zahra

Ivory then asked zahra to immediately clean up his belongings. Mala, that's him bringing back Zahra to his apartment.

"From now on you will stay here forever,"

"I mean??" ask Zahra

"Wouldn't we get married then this apartment will be yours, so we'll live together here" replied Ivory

Zahra blushed at Ivory's reply.

Zahra nodded in agreement to Ivory's request. That same night Ivory met his mother and told them of his desire to propose to Zahra.

Both his parents agreed and did not mind his desire to make the man feel happy.

Meanwhile, Merry who was completely healthy returned to his usual activities. This time he visited the inauguration of the Bahri Food branch office in a mall.

He was so enthusiastic when he saw the number of customers who came to the food stand he rented in front of his office.

"How does it feel?"

"It's a shame, but it's too expensive!" answer a customer

"Of course the price is not a problem if indeed our food products are very good and quality. As the saying goes, there is a price. So the price of the goods must be in accordance with the quality, right?" answer Merry

"But in the store next to food like this is sold so cheaply,"

"But it feels different, doesn't it?" answer Merry

"Same, the name of the chicken is like that, nothing special,"

"Then why not just buy there!" hardik Merry was so furious with the woman

"Of course we will buy there, not only the price is cheap but also the service is very friendly, as long as you know we are here just to get free food only," the woman replied and then left the place

"The poor always have a reason to get free food. Just say no money don't tell me it's expensive, less friendly, bull ****!" maki Merry's

Seeing Merry who continued to grumble made some consumers immediately leave the restaurant. Of course it makes Anindya as the owner of the restaurant so angry with Merry.

He even told his mother to rest, but had to help him.

"Why did you kick me out, you should be happy because I wanted to help you, you selfless child!" exclaim Merry

"That mother didn't help here, instead messing up Anin's promo show!" answer Anin

"What!, how could you mess up my own restaurant!"

"Are you not aware that you've made all of my customers run away because of that mother's grumpy attitude. It's better to just take a break than to mess around here,"

"Now you are starting to be a brash child, yes, already loved and even asked for a heart. Just be careful if you call me because you're trying to get into trouble!"

Merry went inside the restaurant to get her bag.

Meanwhile, Anin who saw Zahra and her daughter shopping at the mall immediately approached her.

"If you don't mind stopping by my restaurant, I happen to have just opened a branch here" Anin said

"Congratulations then, may the restaurant sell well and many buyers" replied Zahra

"Aamiin, thank you for the prayer, yuk Lika ate chicken first. Auntie knows you like chicken so let's eat!" Anin took Zalika's arm and brought her into the restaurant

"Sit here for a while, Auntie will bring a special menu for Lika,"

Zalika nodded and immediately took out her picture book. He waited while drawing the atmosphere of the restaurant.

Merry stopped his steps when he saw Zahra and her daughter were there. Then he approached both.

"It's not that I've forbidden you to set foot in the Bahri group residence, this restaurant is my daughter's so get out of here, because this place is illegal to enter by women like you!" hardik Merry's
