Thorny Love

*Bab 51

Riska waited for Zein's return feeling impatient again. He wanted to meet Zein soon to deliver the news about Zia.

After waiting for a while, Zein returned to the apartment. When Riska saw Zein walking over, she immediately greeted Zein so that she and Zein would quickly meet.

"Risca. Tumben you came here? What's up?" zein asked when he saw Riska approaching him.

"There's something I want to talk to you about, Zein. It's about Zia" Riska said straight to the point.

"On Zia? What's wrong with Zia, Ris?" asked Zein curiously.

"Zein, you better stay away from Zia from now on. I don't want you to get in trouble because of him."

"Lho, what's the matter. Why should I stay away from him? What problems can he cause if I get close to him, Riska? You have-there is," said Zein, speaking while shaking his head.

"Gue seriously Zein. Zia is the cause of trouble. Do you know if she's a widow. So .... "

"Oh, you want me to stay away from Zia just because she's a widow huh, Ris?" ask Zein casually.

"Lo ..lo was so calm when I found out Zia was a widow. Aren't you surprised at all by the news I brought to you, Zein?"

"Wait on! Don't tell me you've known who Zia really is since yesterday, yes Zein," Riska said.

"Riska, never mind, why every time we meet we always talk about Zia only. Is there no other subject that we both want to discuss hm ....?"

"Jawab first what I asked, Zein! Did you know from the beginning that Zia was not a girl but a widow?"

Zein fell silent. He did not say a word to answer what Riska asked. He just looked at Riska with a question mark.

Zein ignored what he asked. Riska is getting upset and hurt. He looked at Zein with a sharp look, then repeated his question again.

"Zein, answer me! Do you know that Zia is a widow!"

This time, Riska asked in a high tone, leaving Zein with no other choice but to answer what he was asking.

"Yes, I knew who Zia was from the beginning. I know she's a widow since I and she recently met. I know who he is." Zein explained in a weak tone.

"So, you know she's a widow but you still want to get her? You also chase him when you know he's a widow. You don't have an ot*ak, Zein. You want to be the same widow while many girls are still out there who want to be the same lo."

"Lo's still Zein's bachelor. I have never felt how marriage is. You really like widows."

"Risca. I feel like it's weird to know. I am confused by what you are talking about. Lo forbid I like the same widow, whereas, the same widow's love is natural. There are still many bachelor kids out there who are married to widows and their lives are happy."

"Lo the weird Zein. Ever since you knew Zia, you've changed a lot. I'm not my best friend anymore I know. You're like a stranger I've never known myself."

"I should have said that, Riska. You've been weird ever since I knew Zia. And not just Zia, you always act weird when I'm close to any woman. I am confused as you know not. I think of one thing if you remember my same attitude if I was close to another woman. I thought, you're my best friend or my wife actually?"

At that time, Riska's mental freeze. He had no words to go against what Zein said. He was only able to stand still with that one sentence.

"Gue is disappointed, Ris. You should have supported me, because you were my best friend since childhood. Not even make my feelings become disappointed like this," Zein said before he left Riska on the doorstep of his apartment.

Zein immediately closed the apartment door regardless of Riska who was still standing in front of the door. Disillusioned with Riska, he ignores Riska now.

Riska could not say anything to hold Zein back. Only a slow falling tear accompanied his solitude as Zein left him here.

'Zein, if you were just a little sensitive to what happened between you and me, maybe our relationship wouldn't be like this. Unfortunately, you don't have the slightest sensitivity on me. You always thought I was your best friend. That's it, never more than the word friend, ' Riska said in her heart as she continued to cry.

Suddenly, the words Laila spoke filled Riska's memory. Those words turned sadness into hatred that only grew stronger.

"No. It's not Zein's fault. But Zia's fault. As Laila said, Zia is not a good woman. He must've brainwashed Zein as cleanly as possible. So Zein didn't want to listen to the words I said. Just wait lo Zia, I'll make you suffer. More than the suffering I feel right now," Riska said to herself, clasping her hand tightly.

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Laila was sitting sweetly with Sinta. The two of them were talking about the grand plan they were going through. The plan they had laid out was very mature. Just waiting for a few more steps, they will execute the plan.

"La, what if the arrogant woman still does not want us to cooperate hm? Are you still going to try to persuade her until she wants to?" sinta asked a bit worried.

"Mama Sinta is calm. Don't call me Laila if you can't get what I want. You see, what I do will never be in vain. In a moment, that arrogant woman will definitely contact me. He himself came to us to work. Just look," Laila said with incredible confidence.

It's true what he said. After she finished talking, Laila's phone suddenly rang indicating that a call had entered her phone. Laila looked at the phone quickly.

"Who?" ask Sinta curiously.

"Pale in love, ulam arrived. Our chess pion is here now."

Sinta understood what the words Laila said just now meant. He smiled triumphantly, then ordered Laila to immediately raise the call from Riska.
