Zenaya's remorse

Chapter 36: The Feelings of Zenaya.

"Thank you guys, I owe you one" Reagen told someone behind his phone call. The man just called Vian, Grace's husband.

His wife could not go home to their parents. So, the only purpose of Zenaya that came to Reagen's mind was the residence of his best friend. Previously, Reagen had called Grace directly, but she instead got a mockery from the woman. So she tried to call her husband. They both know each other because Walker Group has been working with the Vian family hotel since a few months ago.

Luckily, Vian wisely informed him of the whereabouts of Zenaya who was there. The man said that Zenaya came alone in a taxi.

Previously, Reagen had intended to let Zenaya spend the night there to calm down, but his own heart turned out to be very unsettled. As a result, that night he also decided to pick up the wife at the Aldrich family home.

...***...

Grace put the warm tea she made on the nightstand. The woman sat back on the edge of the bed that Zenaya had occupied.

"Drink first."

"Thank you" said Zenaya, taking the cup.

Both are in one of the guest rooms.

Honestly, Grace was shocked to find Zenaya standing alone in front of her house. The woman said they had just had a fight. Therefore, Zenaya decided to run away from the apartment to calm down.

Not only that, Zenaya also told everything that happened between them, including the jealousy of the Reagents and his possessive attitude.

Grace took her breath. Hearing Zenaya's explanation, there was a sense of regret for snapping at the Reagents. However, he was also annoyed at the man who seemed impatient. Doesn't he know very well how Zenaya.

"Then, now what? You ran away from home, but you can't keep avoiding her" Grace said.

Zenaya looked pondering.

Why did he have to run away from home? Soon enough, the Reagents will find him.

"I don't know." Zenaya again sipped the warm tea that was in her hand.

Gravc sighed. "You really still hate him, don't you?" ask the woman curious.

"I hate it so much, Grace! When we went to school I–"

"I wasn't talking about that time, Zen. You know exactly what I mean." Grace cut off Zenaya's conversation.

Zenaya kontan was silent.

"Your feelings are certainly no longer the same as before. Are you guys tied to the wedding rope. I fully understand your traumatic feelings, but, can you also see Rey's earnestness?" Grace reopened her voice.

" ... she didn't mean it, Grace. The man was just trying to take responsibility for what he had done. His feelings had been like that since a long time ago!" zenaya replied stubbornly.

"Who said that? You just concluded everything yourself." Grace clasped Zenaya's hand in her lap.

"Your feelings are no longer the same, Zen. You're just trying to squeeze it deep, and it's not good for your mental health." The woman gave a friendly smile.

Zenaya. "I don't know, Grace. I really don't know. It's hard to say that I still hold feelings for her. But so is my hatred."

Zenaya stroked his stomach. "Why, since the baby's presence, I've always missed him. The scent of his calming body was opium to me." The woman laughed a little. " ... And you know, I even cried as much as I could just because she came home late for work."

Tears began to drip on Zenaya's cheeks.

"Look! Just saying this I've been crying." Zenaya laughed heartily. Her heart suddenly became attached to her husband.

"Your baby loves his father. He told you to do the same." Grace tries to calm her best friend, as well as affirming that the woman is no longer hiding.

"I don't know. I already told you about him who accidentally hugged me while sleeping, right?" ask Zenaya suddenly.

"That feeling still has Grace. The moment he touched my body, the flashback of the bitter incident evaporated back to the surface. I'm afraid he's back to hurt me."

"But you said he managed to steal a kiss from you, right?" Grace remembers the story of Zenaya.

"That's why I'm confused!" Zenaya looked annoyed with herself. "What am I, Grace?" continued.

"You just need to try to open your heart, Zen. It's as easy as it really is, though I know it's hard to do that because of those flashbacks."

Grace looked at Zenaya gently. He understood the woman's feelings. Grace could not imagine how she would feel if she was in the position of Zenaya. Even with the man she loved once, Grace would still be traumatized.

Being impregnated by a man who has hurt in the past is the worst thing ever.

"Yes, it's almost late at night. You better get some rest." Grace told Zenaya to lie down, then took the tea from the woman's hand.

"Sorry, I've been bothering you and Vian, Grace." Zenaya looked at Grace unkindly.

"You brother, we should have helped each other. I'm sorry for yelling at your husband on the phone."

"No problem." Answer Zenaya.

...***...

Grace approached the husband who was sitting in the television room. He brought a cup of warm tea for her.

"Thank you, honey," said Vian.

Grace nodded. "Is there a lot of work? It's almost midnight." The woman sat next to the husband who seemed to be working on something.

"A little more. Zen how?" Vian asked back.

"I told her to go to sleep" Grace replied.

"Is he okay?" Vian looked at the worried wife. Although he only knew Zenaya, but both are quite familiar as well as the wife.

Grace nodded her head. "He's not okay."

Vian closed his laptop and changed positions. The man looked deeply into the eyes of his beloved wife.

"You know, honey, that interfering in other people's domestic affairs is a bad thing?" ask the husband suddenly.

Although astonished by the husband's question, Grace still nodded.

Vian smiled gently. He hugged his wife for a moment, then kissed her gently. "Zenaya will never be able to let go of her trauma if we always support her attitude like this."

"Then?"

"Reagen will be here any minute. He's gonna pick Zenaya home." Answer Vian calmly.

Grace glares. "Honey, but Zenaya, right, sed–"

Vian held Grace's hand. "Let Zenaya get used to it beside Rey. I'm not forbidding you to help Zenaya, but you also have to understand Rey's feelings as a husband who loves his wife."

Grace budging. Feelings of guilt began to appear in the mind of the 29-year-old woman.

"You're right. I should have helped them get closer. Ii'm sorry. I even snapped at the man on the phone" said the wife.

"It's okay. Rey must understand how much you feel about Zenaya." Vian put on a big smile. "I'll wait for Rey here while continuing the pending work" he continued.
