Thorny Love

*Bab 55

"Sir Zein, I would like to say that I will support you to unite with Zia. If you really sincerely love mbak Zia, then I will help you to get it."

"What's? Did I just not hear wrong? Or are you the one who talked wrong?" zein asked with a shocked face as well as a look of disbelief at Restu.

"You didn't hear wrong and I didn't say anything wrong. What you hear and I say is true. I'll help you get Zia completely."

"Crazy. Naw. What are you really up to, Restu? Didn't you not like all this time that I was near Zia. You seem to mind if I approach Zia. Here, now you're helping me get Zia, not just get close again, instead of getting. You're right," Zein said as she shook her head as well as smiled amusedly at what just happened.

"Sir Zein, I'm serious. At first I did not like you, but, when I saw Mr. Rama who approached Mbak Zia today, I changed my mind. I'll help you get Zia's mom, because I'm sure you can make Zia happy, which I've taken for granted like my own sister."

Zein fell silent. He put on a serious face while staring at Restu. He sought the truth from the words Restu spoke. He found out that Restu seemed to be telling the truth right now.

"Is ...you really supporting me with Zia? Is there no other plan behind this?" zain asked seriously.

"There's no point in me planning something that will only hurt me. Mr. Zein heard I was fine, I became his personal assistant mbak Zia for a very long time. He was the one who always helped me and my family. I owe him a lot. By helping her unite with the right people, I'll feel that I've returned Zia's good service to me as well as my family."

"You've been with Zia for a long time as her personal assistant. Why are you supporting me with Zia, not with Rama? You should support Zia and Rama together, right? Because you know Rama well."

"Because I already know Mr. Rama well, so I do not want Mr. Rama and mbak Zia united. I know how much Zia was hurt by the betrayal that Mr. Rama committed. Zia's mother slumped for a long time because of that betrayal. I don't want Zia to get hurt again."

Zein was silent thinking about what Restu said. He again remembered the results of the investigation data that his trusted people gave him.

Yes, one day after his meeting with Zia, Zein felt very interested in the woman he met. To find out the background of the woman who had stolen his attention, Zein assigned someone to find out all about Zia.

It didn't take long for the man to get what Zein wanted to know about Zia. At first, he was surprised to find out that Zia was the wife of someone. However, as time went on, Zia finally separated from her husband. At that moment, Zein seemed to get a golden opportunity to get close to Zia again.

"Sir Zein. What are you thinking about right now?" tanya Restu made Zein aware of her daydream.

"Sorry, I'm thinking something. A truth from the words you just said. If you really want to help me to get Zia's heart, then I will be very grateful to you. And, if I manage to have Zia completely, I will give you something in return for the help you gave me" Zein said very seriously.

"Sir Zein. Sorry, don't promise me any gifts, because I want to help you sincerely. As long as you promise me, if you will be happy for Zia's entire life, then I will be behind you to help with all my heart."

"I promise to make Zia happy as long as I live. You take it easy, I won't let you down."

Restu reached out his hand as a sign of binding promise between the two of them. Zein accepted the size of the hand with pleasure. The two shook hands, then smiled together.

On the other hand, Laila and Riska just arrived at a place not far from the office. They canceled the intention of talking at the restaurant and changed it to a cafe next to Zia's office.

"Are you not afraid that Zia will see us here? This is a place very close to his office," Riska said somewhat hesitantly as they entered the cafe.

"Let's sit!" laila said again when they were at the corner table in the cafe.

Riska did what Laila said. He pulled up the chair beside him, then occupied the chair.

"What message do you want?" laila asked after seeing Riska sitting in front of her.

"As far as you are. I don't mind if you order anything."

"Well, I'll order some strawberry juice and fried noodles for you, how about it?"

"Yes, it's up to you."

"okay."

Laila immediately called the cafe waiter to say her order.

After the servant left, Laila asked Riska what she meant to meet.

"Now, tell me what you want to see me!" laila said while looking at Riska.

"Tell me first who was the man who met Zia at the restaurant earlier! The man who made you cry in a public place just now."

Laila looked at Riska with a sharp look. He did not think that Riska even asked him about it.

'No. I can't let this arrogant woman know who Rama is. If he finds out, maybe he'll cancel the cooperation between us that almost happened. This arrogant woman would definitely think that I would use her only for my own sake, Laila said in her heart.

"Hey! I asked you but you were dumb. You think what the hell is it?" ask Riska again so her true self because it has seen Laila is fine now.

"Who he is is not important. Clearly, you and I are both hurt by Zia's pride and arrogance. Now, tell me what you want to say! I couldn't stay out for long because I had a lot of work to do" Laila said, like a career woman.

"All right, what I want to talk to you about is, I want to accept the offer of cooperation that you offered me yesterday."

"Oh, do you really want to accept the offer of cooperation that I offered at that time?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Good if that's it. We can directly talk about what plan we're going to execute to avenge Zia right now."
