The Secret of Zoya's Love

Keep Distance

The people must be fighters and thinkers. One must be a warrior and a thinker (Author's Motto).

Never take action without thinking first, it could be a boomerang. Do not just think without realizing with an action, because your thoughts will be useless.

"Papa, tell me Mama don't come. Ale doesn't want to sendili with Oma. Oma can't make cakes, nor can she make delicious chicken bubbles" Ale said in his papa sling.

Hearing his daughter's sentence, Hans felt his heart ache. There was a feeling he was not aware of, a feeling that made the corner of his heart feel pained when he heard Zoya was about to leave. But, she had no reason to hold him back for a stay.

Hans held Ale closer towards Zoya. His gaze was so lethargic looking at the girl who was putting the TV remote on the sofa. Along with Ale sagging from the sling, Hans also sat down next to Zoya.

"Darling, Ale wants milk?" zoya asks who is trying to get away from Hans.

"I want coffee too, Zoy!" hans tried to neutralize the situation. But, Zoya only nodded when responding to Hans.

Zoya goes down to the kitchen. Meanwhile, Hans now plays horses with Ale. He understands Zoya is avoiding him, but he also has no idea what he should do other than let it pass him by.

Zoya goes down the stairs to the kitchen. The distance between them is getting bigger. Whatever Hans's answer and decision, he had already prepared everything, thinking so carefully as to move on with his life ahead. Including when he no longer holds the status as a lady. Hans Satrya Jagad's.

Zoya carries a tray of one glass of milk and a cup of coffee, she also includes her favorite snack cake pudding Ale.

Zoya tried to act ordinary, only her eyes could not lie, she was very reluctant to look at the man who had been staring at her lethargic.

"Mas, if you want to eat, I've prepared it below!" zoya said as she put the tray on a small table near the sofa.

"Ale, drink the milk as Papa, yes! Mama has to clean up Ale's toys in the room" Zoya said after getting a nod from Ale. Though, that was only Zoya's reason.

Hans only fell silent, his gaze trailing until the little girl disappeared from the scrutiny of his eyes.

Han's Pov

God what is this? Something disappeared from the joy in my house. A month later I was busy with my own business and thoughts. And, when I got home, my house felt empty. My wife is also different, let alone her split request this afternoon had shocked me, she was like giving distance to me. This time, he only prepared a meal for me without waiting for me.

Did I hurt her too much? But he also knows that there is no love between us. It was impossible for me to love him, just imagining it was strange.

But, when he asked me to let go, I didn't seem to accept it. How dare she want to leave me, I know she's a strict girl but I'm sure she wouldn't have the courage to, if there wasn't a mastermind behind all this.

Is he going to run away with another man? If that was the reason I wouldn't just let it go. I'll hold him off under the pretext Ale still needs him. Of course I'm going to defend all this for Ale. Moreover, something she protested about was simply because I was lacking time with Ale.

But Nolla? Our closeness is intertwined. When near him I like replay the story and feelings of the past that ever existed between us. But, would Ale be able to accept Nolla like she accepted Zoya? Maybe that's what makes me feel like to Nolla like something's stuck. She's not officially divorced yet and that's what keeps me trying to avoid Nolla, too.

I will try to digest my feelings well, unlike when I received Renita. There is guilt in me, the magnitude of Renita's love for me is not reciprocated with the same great feelings from me, which is why I am very difficult to accept other women in my life. In the past, we (Me and Renita) were a pretty mismatched couple for everyone who saw our relationship. Back then, there was no reason for me to reject the love of a woman as beautiful and as smart as Renita. Sometimes I remember Nolla. That's what makes me want to know my true feelings.

From then on, Zoya did not leave the room, until finally Hans carried and brought in Ale who had fallen asleep.

Zoya is shocked when Hans opens Ale's room door. He immediately put down the yellow-coated book he had not finished reading since Wildan had given it to him.

"She hasn't peed yet, wake her up to pee!" hans said with a glance at the book beside Zoya.

"Yes, Mom! " Zoya answered only briefly. Then, Hans walked out by closing back Ale's room door.

Zoya closed her eyes, her heart again feeling sad when she realized it was going to be over.

"I'm sorry Mama, if later we can't play together. Mama's not that strong, honey! " said Zoya with a kiss on Ale's forehead. He also laid down his body beside Ale.

Zoya only sends a message to Hans, if Ale is picked up by Mama Shanti because Mbak Niar came from bandung. Meanwhile, he will meet Nilla at a cafe in jln. TMH, therefore also Mama Shanti brought Ale. He deliberately allows Zoya to expand the association.

This afternoon, Zoya with Nilla and Nesti, a classmate of Nilla, went to a cafe to find a comfortable place to chat. After finishing the class, the two students steal time to meet Zoya before returning to the cottage. There will also be Wildan, who said he arrived late because he had to wait for his friend.

Zoya glanced at the watch on her wrist, at one o'clock, the three girls entered the cafe which was quite crowded with visitors. They chose a table near the window with many chairs so that they could gather together.

Nilla who ordered a drink for them, it was confirmed by Wildan that Wildan would have to pay for it. Understandably, students always manage finances well, while Zoya has handed over her ATM to Hans.

"Zoy, isn't your husband angry you're looking for work? " ask Nilla who doesn't know any stories about Zoya.

But not yet able to answer, Zoya was shocked when a pair of people she knew very well entered the cafe. Hans and Naura walked towards the table which was not far from the position of the three girls.

Hans was no less surprised, even he was made wrong when the sad eyes looked at him sharply. As well as Naura, as if she was happy, Zoya saw them together.

"Zoy, is that your husband? " ask Nilla when she sees Hans with a sexy woman.

"Yes, Mas Hans met his client." replied Zoya softly, though her heart ached at the sight.

"Ohhh.... " Nilla only meng 'Oh'kan, although not fully believed. It is common for Nilla with the nature of Zoya who closes herself off from the problem.

Inside the cafe, they were busy with their respective events until two men came to them, Wildan and his friend.

"Assalamualaikum" said the two men. Instantly, Hans turned to look at the sound source table not far from him. How much his heart rumbled. In fact, his face was now red when his eyes saw Wildan approaching the table of Zoya and her two friends.
