Thorny Love

*Chapter 66

After talking like that, Rama immediately pulled Zia's hand to take her out. Zia acted resignedly. He followed what Rama did to him.

"Mas! Don't go mas!" Laila continued to shout loudly calling Rama. But unfortunately, Ram was not ignored in the least.

After coming out of the interrogation room, Rama offers Zia to go home together after all her affairs are done. But alas, Zia rejected the offer on the grounds of not feeling good with Laila. Although that reason sounded a little absurd, Rama understood what Zia was feeling.

Zia and Rama split up to do their respective business after such talk. Rama goes to the police for his business, while Zia meets Zein who is in Riska's interrogation room.

"Zit." Zia called out to Zein as she went inside.

"Zeco." Zein's attention was instantly distracted by Zia. That made Riska very upset.

"Zia! What do you want to come here, huh! You want to laugh at me for the traps you've done to me?" ask Riska in a high tone.

"Risca! You what the fuck? Why blame Zia for what happened? This isn't Zia's fault. Do you not understand? I think because you got caught by the police you want to change, but the truth is, no. You are becoming more and more like him," Zein said scolding Riska.

"Ze-zein-chan. You're really mad at me, right? It's not that you defend me because here I am the victim" Riska said with a look of disbelief.

"You're not a victim but a suspect. What traps you is not Zia but me" said Zein blatantly confessing his actions.

"I-I mean what, Zein?" Riska asked with a sad feeling.

"Originally you know, I trapped you because I knew everything you were doing. You keep an eye on Zia's office before you do all your plans, Riska. I caught you several times and your evil friend met around Zia's office. That's when, I smelled something wrong from your behavior."

"What-what? You set me up on purpose?" asked Riska with a sharp look full of anger.

"Yes. You think you would easily enter Zia's office by disguising yourself as an OB? Then, do you think that you can easily get all the important papers that Zia has? If we accidentally let you take it, then you won't be able to take all that easily Riska."

"So ... You, you're the culprit of all Zein? You're my childhood best friend, why would you do that to me, Zein? Is it my fault for you?" riska asked while yelling sadly at Zein.

"I'm sorry. You are a childhood friend that I love. I'm doing all this, just trying to make you realize what you're doing is wrong."

"No! You don't love me, Zein. You are so evil! I don't have a friend like you. Zein Martin! From now on, you and I are no longer friends, but enemies!" said Riska in a high tone.

"Risk."

"Go now! Go!"

"Riska listen .... "

"Sir cop! Please sir! Help me," Riska said shouting loudly while crying.

Two policemen came into the room hearing screams from Riska. Quickly, Riska asks the two policemen to evict Zein and Zia from the room.

Zein and Zia leave the police station after all their business is done. When after talking to Riska, Zein continued to look moody like there was a heavy burden that he was carrying. Zia understood what Zein was feeling. He also feels bad for being the destroyer of Zein and Riska's friendship.

"Zeez. Forgive me for being the third person in your friendship. I also apologize for ruining the good relationship between the two of you. I'm so sorry, because of me, your friendship is broken now."

"Zia, you're not wrong. Everything that is happening right now, not even because of you. I love my best friend. I don't want to see him become a bad guy just because of the misunderstanding he has in his heart."

"But Zein, still it's because of me" Zia said with her guilty face.

"It has. Don't feel guilty like that, Zia. It's not your fault. Oh yeah, I forgot to ask you one thing earlier. Does that slap still hurt? Why did you let someone else slap you in the face? Why don't you stop him?" tanya Zein shifted the subject.

"No. It doesn't hurt and you don't have to worry. Everything's fine."

"What's okay? You were slapped by your ex-husband's wife, but you said you were okay. Don't you want to avenge what he did to you, Zia?"

"I've already avenged what he did to me, Zein."

"What do you mean?" zein did not understand.

"Zein, actually, I was just pretending to be slapped by Laila. I'm not really in a slap."

"meaning?" zain still did not understand.

Inevitably, Zia also explained what really happened in the interrogation room just now.

"Initially, he did want to slap me because he was upset by what I said. But I held his hand quickly. However, my evil thoughts asked me to do something when I saw Rama coming. I did something as if he had slapped me so hard."

"Wuah, how great are you Zia. I thought you would let someone bully you without any intention of retaliating," Zein said with a satisfied smile.

"will not. Back then, when he took what I had, I still couldn't return the treatment because I was in a miserable mood. But right now, I'm not gonna let him dance to the grief he's created for me. I'm trying to get everything back now."

"It's very good Zia. You're an amazingly strong woman" Zein said with great pride.

"But Zein, after I took this revenge, I felt that I was very evil. I committed a crime by lying. Not only that, I had also caused Rama to divorce Laila earlier," Zia said in a regretful tone.

"What's? Your ex-husband divorced his wife?" asked Zein with a shocked face.

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

'Wine. I still haven't managed to get Ziana, uh, Zia's ex-husband to divorce his wife instead. Well, where do I see that Zia's ex-husband still keeps love for Zia again. I can't deny, Zia's ex-husband will definitely chase Zia back. Can't do. This can't happen. I must quickly make my Zia completely mine, Zein said inwardly while stunned.

'Oh, but this is not a good time to express love. Problems that are piling up, where can I even casually express love. It was not accepted by me later, rejected yes, Zein said in his heart again.
