THE STAR OF HEAVEN
PART 10'S
VVIP rooms at Club XX are luxurious for club standards, not hotels. It seems that it is provided as a means for couples to combine love in a place of privacy
Ray looked at Zalynda's back who had been sitting quietly at the end of the bed. Her hand squeezed her black mini skirt. Ray knew the hand must be icy cold
Ray crouched down in front of Zalynda. The girl immediately crossed her arms around her chest, feeling uncomfortable with what she was wearing
Seeing that, Ray immediately took off his suit and put it on Zalynda's body which was only wrapped in a tight tanktop. It looks like the girl is shedding tears
It was not this kind of meeting that Zalynda had expected after a long time apart from Ray. Last time he found out that Al Farobi's family was innocent of Farah's insanity, Zalynda had not apologized to Ray
"What's going on, Za?"
Ah, Ray's voice still remained soft while talking to him. Despite every oration, Ray's voice was firm and fiery but when talking to Zalynda was always in gentle mode
"Za." call Ray again
Zalynda wiped away her tears and ventured to look at Ray
"Are you going to do it?"
"Huh?" Ray's forehead is wrinkled
"Do what?"
Zalynda bit her lips, strengthening her heart to utter a sentence that never slipped in her mind
"You bought me. I'm yours tonight. Immediately complete our sale and purchase agreement so that I don't owe you a penny."
Ray's jaw looks hard. The young man immediately stood up
"You think I'm that kind of guy?"
Zalynda looked up at Ray. Ray's eyes flashed anger and disappointment
"Then why are you wasting so much money? Do you intend to entangle me with debt?"
Zalynda remembered the words of Yono who always cornered him by bringing up all the gifts Wijaya gave to Zalynda as debt so that in the end Zalynda slumped in this place
Zalynda's tears were unbearable. The girl cried again thinking about her fate.
Ray sighed, back the young man crouched down before Zalynda. Ray cupped Zalynda's cheeks and raised the girl's face. It looks blue on the left cheekbone
"What's going on?" Ask Ray again
Zalynda just shook his head. Free to tell Ray what happened to him.
"You won't be able to help me." Whisper Zalynda while sobbing
Ray breathed. Slowly Ray pushed Zalynda's shoulder, putting the girl on the bed. Zalynda was slightly surprised by Ray's treatment. Didn't the young man refuse?
"R-Ray.." Zalynda's face flushed red
It turned out that Ray just put Zalynda on the bed and covered her up to the neck
"Sleep is Za. You look so tired."
Zalynda squeezes her blanket seeing Ray's treatment. There are still good people at him at the end of the day
Today Zalynda's body was indeed feeling very tired. The girl tilted her body and began to close her eyes. Let tomorrow happen, tonight Zalynda just wants to rest
Ray made sure Zalynda was asleep. The young man reached out his hand stroking Zalynda's dense black hair. Ray smiled considering that this girl always dressed neatly with burgundy colored hair.
Ray's eyes squinted at the bruise on Zalynda's cheeks. What happened to this girl. Slowly Ray leaves Zalynda and lies down on the sofa in the room
Ray's hand dialed a number
"Hallo, it's Beno.."

Zalynda wakes up every morning at 4 o'clock. But today his body alarms did not wake him.
Zalynda squirmed then slowly opened her eyes. The first thing he saw was the figure of Ray sitting on the carpet while raising both hands. Ray is praying
"Bobody!" Zalynda's mind immediately jolted. The girl woke up, but she thought again. Zalynda does not bring mucena, how to close his body to pray if it looks open like this.
Sadness brought him back to reality. Yes, from today Zalynda will work at Club XX as a comfort girl. Just thinking about it made Zalynda feel dirty and unworthy to face the Creator of the Universe
"Za, shajuh?" Ray's voice rang out his daydream
Zalynda nodded
"Haydh?"
"I didn't bring my face.." Finally, that answer was issued by Zalynda
Ray stood up and took out a paperbag and gave it to Zalynda. Zalynda looked at the contents of the paperbag
Mukena and clothes
Zalynda immediately looked at Ray for an explanation
"Sholat first, the shajunnya pass by." Said Ray again. The young man bailed out, giving Zalynda some privacy for a while
Zalynda finally said. Soon the girl went to the bathroom to clean herself up. Zalynda also changed her clothes with the clothes that Ray brought.
Finished prayers Zalynda saw Ray already sitting on the sofa with two bowls of instant noodles and two hot teas
"Only this can be done in front of club XX." Ray said grimacingly
Zalynda laughed. It's too early to eat a bowl of instant noodles. But to appreciate Ray, Zalynda made no comment
Both of them eat in silence
"Np..Ray's.." Zalynda tried to open the conversation
"Yes?"
"You haven't been home all night..No one's looking or waiting?"
Ray was silent for a moment while sipping his hot tea slowly
"Nothing is."
Zalynda's forehead is wrinkled. In Zalynda's thought, Ray was a newlywed. There's no way his wife isn't looking for him
"Why?" Ask Ray again
Zalynda just shook his head slowly. They eat in silence
***
Zalynda glanced at the clock on the wall. It's 9 o'clock past but Ray still won't let himself leave this VVIP room
Zalynda. This part of him just sitting on a mattress while watching television while Ray is busy with his cellphone
Tok.dok..
A beautiful face appeared in front of the door. Ray immediately stood up and greeted him
"Auntie Ima.."
Ima, Aya's best friend, immediately hugs Ray at a glance
"Auntie came immediately to see WA and dozens of missed calls from you Ray. Where's she?"
Ima followed Ray's eyes. The woman frowned as she looked at Zalynda. The girl reminded him of someone, but I don't know who
"Za, this is Aunt Ima. Lawyer."
Zalynda looked at Ray not understanding, but his hand still stretched out to yank at Ima. Ima smiled
"Tante has spoken to Alvin. A bit alot too, but Alhamdulillah aunt can finish even though it looks like you have to spend more money. Still in your budget, Ray."
Ray nodded "Don't forget Ray asked for a letter of agreement and his statement, aunt. Can photocopy only, original still held aunt."
"Presents." Ima held up her thumb
"Mm..tante also do not tell stories to mother ya."
"No, not yet" said Ima trying to tease Ray.
Ray just scratched his nape that wasn't itchy
"Don't be an aunt. Ray just told Ina aja hebohnya ask for mercy yesterday."
"Ooh pantesan was a pale Alvin just now aunty received a call from Lean." Ima. People like Alvin are better suited to threats and violence. Ray laughed
Ray looked at Zalynda softly "Let me drive you home."
Zalynda's forehead is wrinkled
"Going home? Meanin?"
Ima smiled while embracing Zalynda's shoulder "I mean, you're free son. You don't have to work for Club XX."
