THE STAR OF HEAVEN
PART 43'S
Ray stared at his dark phone screen. I really want him to curse his carelessness did not bring a charger. He was unable to contact the person he was currently waiting for
Ray spread his gaze around hoping to find the person who from morning made an appointment with him
"It doesn't seem to be coming yet." Gumam Ray then stepped into an elite restaurant in the part of Jakarta
"Reservation in the name of Rayhan Putra Farobi." Ray said to the waiter. The waiter nodded politely and escorted Ray to his reservation desk
Ray is grateful to have big names Al Farobi and Frederick because restaurant reservations are usually made a month or at least three days before he can get in just a few hours.
Not long after, the one Ray was waiting for came. Ray smiled broadly at a dashed green hooded woman who stepped wide towards his desk. Ray immediately stood up and pulled the chair for the woman to sit on.
The woman smiled sweetly at Ray while nodding her thanks. Ray immediately returned to his seat.
"You look so pretty tonight." Praise Ray
The woman chuckled amusedly "I know what you want, Al Farobi junior."
Ray also gave a small smile and started ordering food for the two of them

Zalynda decided to go home after the rain subsided, although still visible lightning flashes in the distance indicate rain can still fall at any time. It seems like today Zalynda cannot speed because the road is slippery after rain
Sure enough, in the middle of the road the rain fell rapidly. Zalynda had no choice but to continue his journey which was already halfway through.
The rain grew heavier when Zalynda reached the basement of the Ivory apartment. The girl rushed to the elevator to get into her unit. Some of Zalynda's gazes received upon entering the elevator from some of the girls.
Ivory apartment is one of the luxury apartments in Jakarta, not just anyone can live in it. Looking at the look of Zalynda who was only wearing jeans, t-shirts and drenched in the rain made some of the girls in the elevator whisper a little
Zalynda was a little uncomfortable. The girl immediately squeezed the floor of her unit. The whispers were heard again, more towards not believing that a girl like Zalynda had a unit on the 20th floor and above that included a VIP floor in the building
Zalynda tried not to care. Immediately in check his cell phone. No message from Ray. Even the message he sent this afternoon was still gray. Zalynda bit her lower lip, feeling something was wrong with Ray.
Ting
The elevator reached the 26th floor. Zalynda immediately headed for his unit and then pressed down on the row of key numbers to open the door
Ray's apartment is still empty. Ray doesn't seem to be home yet. Zalynda breathed. Just as the girl was about to step up, her gaze pounded on the dining table
The breakfast he had prepared this morning was left open. Looks like it's still intact, Ray didn't touch his homemade breakfast
Zalynda's eyes condensed to see his homemade breakfast rolled away. A little pain scratched his heart. Back the ugly shadow flashed.
"God, are my happy rations over?" The whisper of Zalynda is slow

Ray and the green hooded woman were having a warm conversation while enjoying a dessert.
"So that's it." said Ray while feeding dessert into his mouth
"Yes, this is actually inside information and it's very difficult to find it because it's been a long time." Said the woman. Ray nodded
"So, what did I ask for?" Ask Ray
"Hopefully this doesn't change your view on the girl, Ray. He's innocent."
Ray smiled "I just like this just want to gather all the information about Zalynda, Aunt Ima. In the future he's safe with me."
Ima chuckles. As Aya's best friend from High School and Al Farobi's family lawyer, Ima knows a little about Ray's case.
"Yes, even though his mother had gone the wrong way. However, Farah had already accepted her punishment. The child deserves to be happy after years of suffering." Ima
"Tante knows, after chatting with Uncle Leo last night me and Andre immediately visited club XX."
Ima eyes pattern
"You and Lean could have hanged your father if they were found out at club XX." The word Ima lowered her voice
"Hehehe.we just talked to boss Alvin. The point is for him to tell me what made Zalynda get stranded there and that's what I've recorded. I've also copied some just in case." Said Ray
Ima shook her head. On the one hand, Ima salutes Ray's struggle to cement Zalynda's position by his side, but on the other hand Ima believes the two young men used unusual means when talking to Alvin, XX's boss club
But there's no harm. A person like Alvin cannot be resisted with gentleness and bringing Lean is the right step that Ray, the father of Ima, took
"Then, step-mom?" Ask Ima
Ray snorted in annoyance as Ima alluded about Yono. That man took Zalynda's rights a lot and made Zalynda suffer. But Ray should not be rash because it can damage the plan he drafted
"He will receive his reply." Ray said flatly as he looked towards his drink
Ray looked back at Ima
"My job is still a lot, aunt. I still have to accompany Za to heal her psychic, find Za's biological mother, still have to restore Za's position and explain to father and mother about Zalynda's origin..."
Ima nodded "May Allah ease all your good deeds, Ray."

Zalynda was watching a movie on television while enjoying the warm chocolate she made. Zalynda chose the film wrong.
The film tells the story of the life of a poor girl who fell in love with a wealthy noble since they went to school but never showed it because the girl was aware of her status
Gayung together, the nobleman also declared his love for the poor girl and married the girl
Apparently, the noble didn't really love her. On the night of their marriage, the nobleman admitted that the marriage was only a betting ground for the friends of the young nobles.
They bet that the noble should make the poor girl fall in love and marry the poor girl for one year. The nobleman told the girl to look to love him in front of her friends without knowing the girl was really in love with him
Zalynda was swept away and wept when the poor girl had to endure the pain of being ignored by her husband and resist jealousy when her husband brought another woman to warm his bed
"Is Ray like that too? Make me bet with his friends?" The whisper of Zalynda is slow
I remember when Ray was so angry when Zalynda grabbed Ray's jacket this morning. Zalynda had smelled another perfume on Ray's jacket before Ray grabbed his jacket
Zalynda sighed while looking at the clock. It's almost 9pm and Ray hasn't come home yet. Ray didn't tell Zalynda
Zalynda hugged a pillow and cried when the poor girl was seen crying on television because she saw her husband hugging another woman
