The Seduced Teaser

Early Trouble

...Happy Reading's...

...***...

His gaze was sharp, like an eagle ready to pounce on its prey. Not a single bit of his sight was distracted. Every move he watched without being missed, until two weeks passed from then on.

...***...

“What should we do, Bun?” ask the beautiful woman. His face showed such deep concern.

“Mother is also confused. We need to vacate the house immediately. It is too impossible for us to raise 250 million in three months.” The old woman looked desperate.

“Can't you diego again, Bun?”

A thread of hope slipped into the mind of the beautiful woman. He hopes the heirs of the owners of this orphanage will be happy to give more time. Although he could not redeem the land of this home, at least he could find more money to be able to contract a house to live with the sisters of the home and the woman he had considered as his own biological mother.

Kasih Bunda orphanage is now in dispute. Because the sons and daughters of the landowner where the orphanage was founded are fighting each other to control the land. That certainly affects the residents of the orphanage.

“Pardon mom, Zi.” A tear fell down, then followed by the next circle until a sobbing sounded from the old woman's lips.

“Don't cry, Bun. Zi will try not to lose our shelter.”

Pantian Kasih Bunda is not as crowded as before. Many of the orphanage children that others have taken for adoption, leaving only a few children and of course it lightens the burden of Ziya, the beautiful woman who dedicates her life to the orphanage.

Working as a singer in one of the cafes owned by her upperclassmen, Ziya gave all her salary for the needs of the orphanage. It was a form of gratitude because the orphanage Kasih Bunda has been holding it since infancy.

Erna –who is in charge of the children of the orphanage Kasih Bunda after the original owner of the orphanage died twenty years ago. Erna loved Ziya, as well as the other orphanage children. His loving and gentle and patient attitude made the orphanage children love him very much.

“If you used to want to be adopted by a rich family, of course you do not have to work hard like this, Zi,” regretted, considering the incident 21 years ago.

Where the four-year-old little Ziya balked at leaving the parlour. The old man who was intending to adopt Ziya also cried because of Ziya's refusal. The couple had fallen in love with the adorable little Ziya. However, they must bury their dream of adopting Ziya because Ziya fell ill while being taken out of the orphanage.

“And leave the Mother of her own distress?” Ziya shook his head, “What does Mother think, Zi can do that?” tanyakanya.

Erna's getting sobbing. Guilt kept gripping him as he saw Ziya whom he already considered his own daughter was having a hard time due to the endless need of the parlour.

“Down calm, yes. Zi will find his way out.” That tranquilizing sentence was like squeezing his heart. How, he doesn't know either. Thought's dead-end. There's no way he's back to bothering Arsen – cafe owner where Ziya works. His debts had already piled up in the cafe, although Arsen never charged him, but he knew enough of himself.

...***...

“Why you?” arsen asked as he saw Ziya daydreaming in front of the dressing table.

“Eh, Brother, has it been a long time?”

“Jawab first, you why?”

“Eng-not. Ziya is not papa, kok,” he said nervously.

Arsen. He has memorized the body language of Khaira Ziya Zulima. When Ziya was happy, when Ziya was upset, when Ziya hid her sadness and when Ziya put aside her fatigue. Arsen knew exactly what and how Ziya was. The woman who stole his heart while sitting in High School.

Suppose there is no difference between them, of course Arsen has expressed his immense love. Unfortunately, until now he was only able to harbor a sense that has been entrenched since many years ago.

“Zi to the stage first, yes, Kak.”

Escape was one of the most powerful ways for Ziya not to tell Arsen the problem. Song by song he sang melodiously. Sometimes he sings based on requests from cafe customers.

Ziya is the only singer in Lenggah cafe. Initially, Arsen did not think to provide entertainment in his cafe with the singer there.

However, when Ziya did not get a job after being dismissed from his former workplace because of the Covid virus, Arsen was so compassionate. Ziya works not for himself. There are orphanage children waiting to be fed by him. Arsen asked Ziya to be a singer in his cafe and it turned out to make the cafe more crowded.

The applause was so lively as Ziya finished her song. Her beautiful face, unsightly, melodious voice, and soft and friendly speech make visitors feel at home to spend time in the cafe Lenggah to listen to her voice. So did the figure who had been observing him from afar.

...***...

Three days had passed, but Zia still had not found a way out of the problems that were happening to her. His head feels like it's about to break.

“Zi, I go home first, yes. There is a family event at home,” said Arsen when Ziya was sitting resting backstage after singing some songs.

“Iya, Brother. Careful.”

“You won't papa come home by yourself?” Worry was clearly visible on Arsen's handsome face.

Ziya smiled sweetly, his head shaking slowly. “Kakak quiet aja.”

“Okey! I'm goin. If there is anything immediately contact me.”

“Iya.”

Arsen rubbed Ziya's head affectionately before leaving Ziya alone. Ziya exhaled his coarse breath as he remembered the burden he was bearing. At least he had to pocket at least ten million to contract a house, while he had absolutely no savings. “I need to find where?” ask him to yourself.

“Eh!” Ziya brushed off the hand that was holding her shoulder.

“Sorry for my sassness, Miss. From earlier Miss I called did not answer so I was forced to touch Miss,” explained a man wearing a black shirt.

Behind the man were several other people who were both wearing black t-shirts. There was also a woman with short hair who was pigtailed.

“With Miss Ziya, right?” ask the woman.

“I-iya,” Ziya replied nervously. He was afraid of the presence of some people around him at this time.

“Do not be afraid, Miss. We just want to invite Miss to meet with our superiors,” said the woman again. This time, the slight smile that the woman gave was able to make Ziya a little calm.

“Ma-sorry. But I don't know who you are, how do you know my name?” Ziya was completely confused by the situation that was happening at the moment.

The woman smiled again without answering Ziya's question. “Mari, we deliver to meet our superiors. He's waiting in the chair VVIP.”

“But I have no business with your boss.” Ziya scared. He was afraid of being kidnapped like the stories in the novels he had read. Ah, his genital level is very high.

“Our existing arrangements need with Miss. Take it easy, we're not bad people. Come, Miss.” The woman patiently persuaded Ziya.

With fear that ruled him, he forced his feet to step following some people who were dressed all in black. In his heart he prayed that there would be no other problems. The problem of the parlour was enough to make him foggy.

After knocking on that door, Ziya was welcome to enter. When the door opened, there appeared a grandfather who looked unpretentious. He told Ziya to sit in front of him.

“Ma-sorry. I do not know the Lord. What is it until you mean to look for me?” ziya asked in fear.

Seeing Ziya's fear, the old man smiled. “I, Pramono—Agung Lubis Pramono. I want to offer cooperation with Miss.”

“Work ... same?” Dahi Ziya shriveled. Signs do not understand the meaning of the words of the grandfather named Pram.

“Iya, I'll be to the point. I know your problem with the orphanage. Therefore I offer cooperation so that you can redeem the land of the orphanage.”

“Where do you know the problem of parlors?” Again, Ziya was confused by the old geezer.

“It doesn't matter where I know from. What is clear, I have a quote.”

“If I may know, what kind of cooperation?”

“I want you to flirt with my grandchild's husband until they get divorced. If you succeed, then 250 million money you can and other supporting money.”

“Hah???” Ziya. After his surprise, he closed his mouth.

“Ma-sorry.”

Pram just silently responded to Ziya's response. After a moment of silence, “So how?” ask Pram.

“Did I not hear wrong? You sure ask me to flirt with your daughter-in-law's granddaughter? Do you think I look like ****** who likes to tease striped men?” angry Ziya. Both of his hands were clenched tightly.

“It is precisely because you do not look like ***** so I choose you. I'm sure you're a fine woman. I need a figure like you to tease my granddaughter-in-law.”

Ziya shook his head. Not out of thought with the thought of this one grandfather. “Sorry. I refuse,” break Ziya.

“Reason?” ask Pram.

“First, I am not a teaser and I cannot flirt. Second, I don't want to destroy someone else's marriage. I'm not finished thinking with you. How can you intend to separate your own grandson from her husband.” Ziya was getting more and more emotional.

“That jerk doesn't deserve my grandson.” Pram threw a few photos in front of Ziya.

Ziya glanced at the few photos in front of him. Looks like a handsome man is embracing the friendly shoulder of a woman. In another photo, the man is seen carrying the woman into a hotel room.

“She played girls, but my granddaughter was so blinded by love that she rejected all the evidence I gave her. What do you think, I'll just stay quiet to see my only grandson get hurt?”

Ziya fell silent, his hands clenched back firmly. He hates infidelity. How can a man who has pledged allegiance to marriage play with another woman.

“Please think. I really hope you want to help me, then I will help you regarding the land of the orphanage.”

Silent. Ziya's head felt spinning. He could no longer think clearly.

“I give you time to think. This is my business card.” Pram handed Ziya a business card. “Contact me if you have got the answer. I really wanted to teach the striped-nosed guy a lesson so he knew what it was like to be dumped.”

Pram left Ziya who was still petrified. Now the woman's mind is getting chaotic. On the one hand, he felt sorry for the fate of Pram's grandson. At once he can solve the problem of the orphanage without the intervention of Arsen again. However, on the other hand he felt it was so hard to break a marriage bond.
