Thorny Love

*Chapter 69

Zia smiled listening to Zein's words just now. He closed his laptop, then got out of the chair.

"You're right, Mr. Zein. Let's leave now because the sooner the better," Zia said mocking Zein with her words.

Zein smiled getting the mockery. With happy feelings mixed with anxiety, he walked hand in hand with Zia. They left the room for the car.

Arriving at the parking lot, Zein opens the car door for Zia. With a respectful bow, Zein allowed Zia to get into the car. Zia smiled with the clumsiness that Zein made for her. With a happy feeling, Zia got into the car. Then they left the parking lot.

There, Rama witnessed everything. Everything Zia and Zein did. Her heart ached when she saw Zia smiling with another man.

"It turns out, he was really happy together with Zein. Should I just back off?" rama asked himself.

"Lord .. I am confused by the road that is in front of me right now. Deep down in my heart, I really hope to be with Zia again. But, if I remember what I did to her, I feel, that I don't deserve to be with Zia anymore. Plus, there are men who are able to make Zia happy now. How could I possibly repeat this stalled story?" Rama continued to talk to himself while thinking about the fate that had befallen him now.

Zein and Zia arrived at the restaurant that Zein had prepared. Have lunch together at the famous restaurant that Zein has chosen. When he got out of the car, Zia was confused by the surrounding situation. Zia felt that there was something strange about this restaurant. Famous restaurants should be visited by many buyers. But this restaurant is different.

This restaurant is so quiet. No buyers came here. There are only restaurant waiters.

Zia was stunned by what she saw. His mind wondered what was going on? What happened to the restaurant they visited? Why there are no buyers at all. No customers eat or order food to take home.

It was as if he knew what Zia was thinking. Zein smiled looking at Zia's confused face.

"What's up, Zia?" asked Zein while holding a smile.

"Zein, isn't this a famous restaurant? Why aren't there any customers here?" zia asked without prying her eyes.

"Yes yeah. I was also confused by the state of the restaurant. What if we just go in there so we know what's really going on?"

"Yes that's it. Come on!"

They both walked into the restaurant. While setting foot in front of the entrance, the two maids were already waiting for the arrival of the two of them. One of the servants handed flowers to Zein. Zein received the flower without hesitation. As for Zia, she could only see what was happening with an increasingly confused look.

"Thank you very much" Zein said after receiving flowers from the maid.

"Together young master Martin."

"Young Martin, please come with us. We'll head to the lunch spot we've prepared beforehand. Come on, please" said the other waiter.

"All right." Zein spoke with a smile on his lips.

"Look Zia!" said Zein while giving her arm for Zia to put her hand down.

With doubt, Zia did what Zein wanted. He placed his hands on Zein's arms like a pair to the love that was walking together in the middle of the party.

Zein led Zia to follow the servant who was walking in front of them. They walked on until they got to where they wanted to go. Next to the restaurant.

There were only two chairs and a table. Next to the restaurant is a park. The place that the restaurant has. The most romantic part of this restaurant.

"Good fun to have a romantic lunch young master Martin. Excuse me first," said the waiter when they reached the romantic garden of this luxury restaurant.

"Thank you very much, ma'am," Zein said again with a smile.

Now, Zia just understood what happened. Zein purposely booked this place for their lunch. However, Zia did not think about what Zein was doing. Zein could have done this just to have lunch with him.

"Please sit down princess," Zein said as she pulled up a chair for Zia.

"Wait Zein. There's something I want to ask you."

"You want what princess? Please ask if there is something stuck in the heart," said Zein still with his joke.

"Why are you doing all this?"

"For you Zia."

"For me? You spent a lot of money just to book this fancy restaurant for us to have lunch together, that's what you said for me? Didn't we have lunch with Zein a lot? Why are you doing something like this today?"

"Today is different from the days that Zia has passed. Today I want to reveal something to you. And I want to find a definite answer to what I'm saying."

"Disclosing something? Something about what?" asked Zia pretending to be confused.

Zein walked up to Zia. He reached into his pants pocket. Take something out of the pants pocket, then kneel in front of Zia. Raising the diamond ring he had just taken out of his pants pocket, Zein said to Zia.

"Zijah. I love you. I want you to marry me, be the only empress in this life. Forever be this life companion in wading the journey of joy and sorrow. Are you ready?" zein asked with a somewhat anxious feeling from fear of the rejection from Zia.

"Zeez. Are you sure you want to marry me? Aren't you ashamed to make me your wife?" ask Zia back.

"Thy? Why should I be ashamed, Zia? There's nothing I should be ashamed of right," Zein replied steadily as she looked at Zia with a loving gaze.
