Thorny Love

*Chapter 48

"Lo lied to me, Zia. It's in front of me but not behind me. Aye right? You meant to take Zein from me."

"Risca. You should understand what I say and what you say. I'm not thinking of taking Zein from anyone. Because Zein doesn't belong to anyone. So why should I take it. As for your friendship that has been established since childhood, I am sure, it will not change. But you have to remember one thing. Don't break down your friendship with the selfishness you have. Zein will still be your best friend if you're not selfish as a friend."

"What do you mean you're talking to me, Zia?"

"No meaning whatsoever. Just want you to understand that I don't intend to take anyone away from anyone" Zia said with a sharp smile towards Riska.

'You're not teaching Zia. These words of yours are the same as you telling me that Zein does not belong to me. Just see what I can do to you later, Zia. I will not let Zein go from me, Riska said in her heart.

"Mc ... Riska, is there anything you want to talk to me about?" ask Zia to awaken Riska from her daydream.

"none. Excuse me first. Thank you so much for the time you took for me, Zia."

After saying that, Riska immediately woke up from her seat. He then left Zia who was still sitting sweetly while looking at Riska who wanted to leave the room.

However, just a few steps Riska left her place, she stopped her steps again and turned her body to see Zia who was still there. Sit sweetly while holding both hands together on the chest.

"Zia, there's still something I want to say to you."

"Whatis that? Just tell me now! Don't keep what you want to tell me. If not, I'm sure of your thoughts

it won't calm down" Zia said with a smile.

"Already, don't talk much. Just listen to what I want to say! You would be very surprised if I told you the same truth now. I think you're not only shocked, but you must also be hurt when you listen to it."

"Just say it now, Riska. You don't need a lot of pleasantries that can later be really stale because you are too long-winded."

"alright. I hope you've been mentally steely so as not to cry when you know the truth, if Zein is not a driver but the son of a famous conglomerate there. He pretended to be a driver. That's what he did to fool you, Zia."

"Oh yeah?" asked Zia pretending to be shocked while getting up from her seat.

"Yes, I know everything because I'm Zein's best friend. A childhood friend who knew everything about Zein. Zia, if I were elo, maybe I was crying because of the heartache of being lied to."

"What-what! Do you know that Zein's a rich kid?" tanya Riska did not believe what Zia said.

"Yes, I've known for a long time that he's a rich kid. So what do you want to say again if I know? Do you want to cry because what you expected didn't happen?"

'No way. Has Zein told Zia the truth about who she is? I can't believe that Zein did that, ' Riska said in her heart as she remained silent.

Ziana smiled as she looked at the disappointed face that was very clearly visible on Riska's face. The present Ziana was no longer the former Ziana, who could only endure the pain by shutting herself in as her heart was hurt by others. Zia who was now would walk a step ahead of the people who wanted to hurt her. Zia who was now would also immediately reply to who wanted to hurt him as quickly as possible without any time left.

"Ris, you look disappointed. Is it because I already know who Zein is? That's why you look so disappointed now. You must not have prepared a heart of steel before you spoke to me just now. As you remind me, that's."

"Don't be happy first Zia. I'll make sure that Zein won't like it too long. You will see" Riska said as she left her place.

"Yes. I'm waiting for Ris. Don't forget for long."

Zia smiled as Riska did not answer what she said.

"Risca-Risca. You must have been very upset when you found out that I already knew what you wanted to say about Zein. You expect me to be shocked, continue to be angry and disappointed at the feeling that Zein lied to me by hiding his true identity."

"You're right, I was indeed shocked when you revealed Zein's true identity. Because honestly, I didn't know he was a rich kid. But, I've already felt a sense of disappointment, shock, and anger greater than what you revealed to me just now. So, it's not hard for me to be casual when you say a shocking news about Zein, "Ziana told herself as she got up from her seat.

"Hm ... Zein, I already know who you are now. I wonder what it means to hide your true identity from me."

"Uh .. It seems like all men are the same. They both have no heart. I always lie to women with any intention. Just look at you guys, I will make you really feel how you feel being lied to," Ziana said very annoyed while throwing a vase of flowers nearby.

Meanwhile, Laila was watching over Zia's office. He wanted to do what he and Sinta had planned before.

The first stage, he only came to supervise the office, to find out, whether he could do it himself or need the help of others. Clearly, he felt he could not do the plan without the help of an insider who worked in the office.

In that surveillance, he did not pay attention to the surroundings so, brukk ... Laila bumped into someone who had just walked out of Zia's office with an annoyed face.
