The Secret of Zoya's Love

Dealing with the Press

"No honey should stay on one roof, Zoy." Hearing the word honey makes Zoya's heart feel sliced back. He never imagined a polygamous relationship that he would have to live.

"I know that, Bang. Only a few days left I stayed here. "obviously Zoya, the look in her eyes now looks cute.

"Mama... " Ale called out to Zoya as she was going down the stairs. The pillow face and lethargy are still a staple spectacle of the three people below. Zoya rushes after her daughter, afraid that Ale has not focused on the stairs due to drowsiness.

"Honey, there's aunt Nilla and Om Wildan" said Zoya when they were downstairs. Hearing Nilla's name, Ale immediately opened his eyes wide, restoring all awareness to approach his guests. He was very happy with Nilla, usually Nilla did not forget to bring him chocolates like this time.

"Assalamualaikum, Auntie?" said Ale by inviting Salim Nilla.

"Waalaikum greetings, Beautiful." replied Nilla with a smile.

"Om Wildan, dong! " Wildan thrust out the back of her hand that the bully boy greeted. Aqidah and morals are Zoya's priority in educating Ale.

"In the meantime, I'll get you a ready-made calligraphy! " Zoya again climbed the stairs leaving Ale with Nilla and Wildan in the living room.

A moment later he would bring the calligraphy that had been in the frame very elegantly to go down the stairs.

"Zoy, careful! " cried Hans as he ran towards Zoya who was about to walk down the stairs with a few calligraphy frames.

"Why not ask for help? " grunts Hans by taking over what Zoya brings. Hans lets Zoya down first. They were greeted by the stern looks of both guests. Nila and Wildan are disappointed by what happened to Zoya.

"This is Bang, the calligraphy I've prepared. God willing, the day after tomorrow I'll come see the painting exhibition. The painter who is known for his typical camel cycling (Bicycle era company) is so phenomenal, I am also curious about his work." said Zoya who wanted to kill the stiffness in the room. He could see the glare of Wildan and Nilla's sharp eyes fixed on Hans.

"Oh yeah, we'd better go back now, Zoy. I'll wait for the day after tomorrow at the Piere Tendean Building." Nilla told Zoya

"Let's be pretty, auntie, come back."

"Let's go Hans, we go first!" wildan's farewell to Hans is followed by a nod to the man who is currently embracing Zoya. Wildan himself was still too upset with Hans, but both of them had to keep their attitude. Hans's sinless face after hurting someone he was supposed to look after as he had said it first, left Wildan and Nilla deeply disappointed.

Hans seemed to be in a hurry down the stairs. His neat style with a classic watch that is circular on the wrist makes the charismatic aura figure always look charming. There are a lot of schedules today that he has to do.

He walked up to the dinner table and sipped a cup filled with black coffee, of course it was Zoya's. He's already very memorized. His eyes looked at Zoya who was walking towards him leaving the pantry.

"Breakfast now, Mum?" ask Zoya. The dining table did seem quiet, Ale had departed from earlier and Arum himself had not left the room. Usually Zoya is only in the pantry when Arum serves Hans. But, Arum's absence there makes Zoya approach Hans who is just standing near the dining table.

"Later on, I'm scheduled to go to the yard to see Antonio this morning." Hans kisses his wife's forehead and then in a hurry, he walks over to his car in the garage making Zoya just peck. Why should you behave like that? Arum who just came out of the room and would greet him did not get a chance, making the girl choose to walk to the kitchen to look for breakfast.

"Zoy, is Mas Hans in a hurry? " ask Arum when he finds Zoya helping Bi Muna in the kitchen. If before getting pregnant, Zoya who dominates the work in the kitchen but now Bi Muna who does a lot of things there especially cooking.

"Oh, Mas Hans there is a schedule to meet with clients" Zoya replied still cleaning the fruit that Bi Muna had just bought in the market. Arum chose to sit at the dining table, he prepared for breakfast with the menu ready at the table.

"By, Ma'am. I left after the Ashar Salat." said Zoya then left Arum alone. Zoya herself actually wants to avoid the girl, maybe there is not much reason to represent why Zoya does not like Arum. Yes, of course because Zoya feels Arum is her honey.

Hans changed his schedule when he was heading to the field. In the middle of the road, Ryan called, making Hans turn the car back to the office. He decided, in the afternoon, he would visit the field and pick up Zoya first at the exhibition.

After flocking Antonio with many questions, Hans did not forget to ask the young man inside the cell. Suspects of rape and murder cases often get bad treatment by fellow inmates. Hans saw the young man looking even more skinny. The handsome young man who used to look fresh and smart now has to languish in prison for a mistake he did not commit. That was one of the reasons that led Hans to take the case.

"Did the other inmates treat you so badly?" Hans asked a question of a personal nature.

"It's normal, Bang. Perhaps, Papa has always given my security money to the King here." Antonio replied, could be seen the lethargic and desperate look of the young man.

"All right, I'll be back next time. If something gets stuck, tell me on my next visit. Maybe, I'll come here more often to get more information from you." Hans stood up and put on his sunglasses. Long steps led him out of a place that could be said to be cursed.

Behind his sunglasses Hans saw several people standing near the parking lot. If you look at the style and the camera in hand, they look more like a journalist.

"Damn it, I don't want to meet them right now." he grumbled as he opened the car door and then turned on the car engine to take her to a painting exhibition Zoya and Ale attended.

His gaze circulated within a vast building, looking for Zoya and Ale among the hordes of people enjoying the paintings. Upon seeing Ale and Zoya near a pillar with Arum, Nilla and Wildan, he chose to approach them.

"Mas Hans came here?" greet Arum with a sparkling look. He was very happy to see Hans arriving.

"Papa, it's Mama's writing" Ale said as he showed a calligraphy emblazoned in the opposite corner. Hans was amazed, he admitted that Zoya is very talented.

"Father of Hans Satrya Jagad? " ask someone when they see Hans. The questioner looked more like a journalist. Hans swiftly carried Ale, and clasped Zoya's hand. Not only had he shifted his steps some people had already approached him.

"Can you explain the murder case you're working on?" ask someone to start a question that makes others also do not want to lose.

"At this time I can't give anything" Hans replied, then pulled Zoya's hand and grabbed her shoulder to bring her home. Meanwhile, Ale was still in his carriage. Hans just didn't want his wife's son involved. While annoyed, Arum followed them behind. He was very much ignored by Hans.

"I'm sorry, but I haven't been able to explain anything this time. Maybe, you can ask after the follow-up hearing." Hans answered the question by waiting for Arum to get into his car. After that, he himself directly got into the car and drove the car carefully.

"Dam." Hans cursing freely by hitting the steering wheel made the three women turn their attention towards him, including Ale.

"Papa, that's not okay! Mama said, Astagfilullah azim thing." the voice of the kingpin broke the silence between them on the way home. Hans did not answer or respond to his daughter. His mind was currently returning Arum to the family and citizens without any more riots. He knows Arum will be disappointed, but if the case he handled goes viral on social media, which he fears the polygamy scandal will also come out and make things worse.

Hans took a breath so deeply, as if wanting to expel the anger in his heart. He was wrong, but he had no other way to do it. All he thought about was returning Arum without harming many parties.

Seriate.
