Thorny Love

*Bab 53

"I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to Zia. He it .... "

Rama could not continue his words as he remembered what he wanted to say was wrong. Rama wants to get angry at Restu for blocking himself from talking to Zia. But unfortunately, he couldn't do that when he remembered that he wasn't Zia's husband anymore, but rather, just an ex-husband that Zia might have now forgotten.

"He is what Mr Rama? Why don't you repeat the sentence?" ask Restu with an annoyed face.

"Sorry Zia, I want to talk to you alone. It's about the deal we both had. Please let me speak with four eyes" said Rama, holding Ziana's hand.

"Sir Rama!" Restu snapped Ra in a high tone. This made the entire restaurant turn their attention to the table they were sitting on.

"Res, no. Don't make a fuss here. Shame on people. Mbak no papa really, let mas Rama talk four eyes the same mbak. Because maybe, what he wants to talk about with this mbak is a disgrace to Rama." Zia spoke in a gentle tone so that she would not hurt anyone.

"Well, if that's what I said. If you don't mind talking to Rama, then I'll get out of here now. If you need help, call me right away" Restu said, waking up from his seat.

"I'm waiting at the table outside" said Restu again before he left Zia.

"Yes." Yeah." Zia spoke while nodding her head.

Rama smiled because of the four-eye talk that Zia gave. His heart suddenly felt happy with the opportunity. It was like he was getting a good signal from Zia. With loving eyes, Rama kept staring at Zia.

Seeing the loving gaze that Rama gave to Zia. Laila, who had been watching Rama, felt something fall from her eyes. The hot clear liquid just fell without being able to hold it.

Riska who saw Laila crying, could not help but ask what had happened to Laila now. To the extent that, women like Laila could shed tears in public places like this.

"What happened to you so much that you cried in a public place like this? Are you ashamed of the people who are here? They're on the look you know. You're the center of attention now" Riska said in a whisper.

"I don't care what people think of me anymore. To me, whatever people say, it doesn't matter. Let's go now!" laila said as she took a deep breath and moved from her place.

Benak Riska is full of question marks now. He was curious about what he had just seen. However, Riska did not dare to ask him now to Laila. Recalling, Laila who seemed to be very injured when she saw Zia was approached by the man Laila recognized earlier. I don't know who that man is, Riska doesn't know.

After the departure of Laila and Riska from the restaurant, Zein came to the restaurant. He who got the news that Zia was in the restaurant from Zia's office employee, immediately looked for Zia to the restaurant in question.

Originally, Zein had come to the office to meet Zia. However, as he headed towards Zia's room, he did not find Zia's whereabouts in the room. With anxious feelings, he asked Zia whereabouts to the employees he met. That's why you can come to this restaurant now.

Just now Rama wanted to raise his mouth to talk to Zia, but that intention had to be restrained due to the call from Zein. When he saw Zia, Zein immediately called out to Zia without a second thought.

"Zeco." The call made Zia not focus on Rama anymore. Quickly, he turned his head to the side to look at Zein.

"Zeein?" Zia looked at Zein with a strange gaze of having called out to him in a loud voice without thinking about their whereabouts now.

"Zia, are you here?" ask Zein who doesn't know what kind of talk to start.

"Oh, that's about easy. Nothing is hard for Zein Martin to find .... "

"Zein Martin?" rama's question cut Zein's words quickly.

"Zijah. He .... " Zein spoke while pointing his index finger at Rama.

"I'm Rama, Zia's ex-husband." Rama answered quickly without letting Zia say what Zia wanted to say.

Hearing the words Rama said, Zia's eyes glared. Mixed feelings rule over Zia now. He could not believe that Rama had said that to Zein. Something he was so afraid to say before.

Zia really could not believe that right now, Rama was telling Zein about his status. The man who has made his heart feel at ease and is afraid of losing it for the umpteenth time.

"Oh, so this is Zia's ex-husband. Not bad either," Zein said casually like there was nothing wrong with the word Rama said. The words that had made Zia so scared earlier.

"What do you mean by that kind of word, huh?" rama was not happy.

"Zeein?" Zia called out to Zein after she could control herself. Because what he thought turned out to be inversely proportional to the reality that is happening now. The usual response that Zein showed, made Ziana distrustful of the current situation.

"Zein you .... "

"Zia, we better find somewhere else to talk. I don't want anyone to interrupt our conversation later" Rama said when he saw that the current situation was unfavorable.

"Eh, can't. I won't let you take Zia anywhere else. Because I also want to talk to Ziana right now."

"Who are you to forbid me to take Zia where I want to."

"You don't have the right to take Zia anywhere you want. You have to remember that now, Zia is not your wife but only an ex-wife," Zein said.

Hearing the debate, Zia felt annoyed. In addition, these two men seemed to have no shame. Arguing in public places with each other maintaining their own selfishness.

Ziana woke up from her seat, she hit the table of the restaurant so that it made a loud noise that shocked the two.

"Shut up! You two are this a fuck? Why even argue about something you shouldn't argue about? Don't you have any shame, huh!" Zia spoke out so loudly that the entire restaurant listened to what she said.

"Zia, I'm sorry. I don't mean to cause a commotion now," Rama said with a regretful face.

"I'm the same, Zia. Didn't mean to make a fuss if he wasn't the first one."

"What did you say? I started first? You're the one who's right." Rama did not accept the accusation.
