56. Engagement Plan
Time continued to go on, without feeling the chatter of Zeana and also Jeano took quite a long time. Where now time is getting more and more night and the air is getting colder.
"Did everything I told you make you remember anything?" Jeano asked as soon as she finished all her childhood stories with Zeana.
"No. But I didn't expect us to go through such a fun and sad time together as a kid."
"Yes, it was unexpected."
"So, is what Nico said right or wrong?"
"Everything Nico tells us is true. Maybe after I left, you met Nico and became friends with him." Although Jeano did not like to say this, he also did not want to lie to Zeana anymore.
Let it all unfold for now, and try to think of a solution to what is going on in the future.
"That means you're my real best friend, and Nico is my best friend after you. But why did you all prevent me from meeting Nico?" Zeana asked curiously because if it was true that Nico and himself had been friends since childhood then why now should he be banned with Nico?
"That's because you love Nico so much."
What Jeano said made Zeana speechless in surprise. "I? Love Nico?" Zeana asked in disbelief as she pointed to herself.
Jeano, who was in love like that, nodded doubtfully, Zeana really loved Nico a long time ago but maybe not for now.
"How can I love Nico?"
"Maybe because you're together often."
"Common often?"
The Flashback
From the moment of her first meeting with Nico, Zeana became a little entertained by Jeano's departure. Zeana starts to smile back and play as usual, and starts to live her life as usual even though there is no Jeano.
At the beginning of Jeano's departure, the two of them can still communicate, but somehow Jeano so rarely contact Zeana and arguably not contact Zeana again.
The passing of Jeano, day after day, week after week, and month after month, is even now where Jeano parted ways with Zeana.
Where there may be a little change, which is now Zeana who is getting used to living without Jeano and even getting closer to Nico. Zeana continues to be familiar with Nico and always goes wherever Nico goes, exactly when he and Jeano are at that time.
As time goes on, Zeana becomes unwilling if Nico has to be far apart even with other people, because she is afraid that things with Jeano are repeated. Where she parted ways with Jeano and now has no idea how and where she is.
And perhaps as we get older we begin to enter adolescence, making Zeana unconsciously feel comfortable and in love with someone.
Nico. The one name that made Zeana feel that way. As for Jeano back then, Zeana couldn't be sure what love was or anything else because they were both still equally small.
Too young to know what love means.
But at that time Zeanapun never expressed his taste to Nico because he wanted to ascertain his feelings first, plus Nico who did not seem to have the same taste as Zeana felt made Zeana postpone it.
As the two of them begin to enter High School, there Jeano returns to meet Zeana.
Of course, with a very different change, where time separated at the age of 11 years for Jeano and 10 years for Zeana. And now they meet at the age of 17 for Joan and 16 for Zeana. Yes, 6 years they had to separate without any news and without any communication.
It certainly makes distance and awkwardness about their relationship.
As well as the arrival of Jeano coincided with the beginning of Zeana's entry into High School, and where also the beginning of Nico and Sisqia meet.
From there Zeana finds out that Nico never loved her and is now easily attracted to others she has just met. That made Zeana angry, and immediately expressed his feelings for Nico who was without hesitation immediately rejected by Nico.
From there too the beginning of Zeana always chasing Nico and always disturbing Sisqia, unknowingly Zeana has changed because of the circumstances that forced her. From a good girl now to evil and spoiled.
Zeana continues to pursue Nico regardless of Jeano's presence who may now return to be with him.
And Jeano, knowing that, of course, was angry with himself for having to leave Zeana at that time and have the effect that it is now.
An awkward relationship and even tend to be like people who don't know each other, that's the relationship and Zeana now. And on the other hand, either consciously or not Zeana becomes distant with her family, namely Felix and Zero.
It may have been from the small Zero and Felix always cold on Zeana, but apart from that they both loved Zeana very much. It's not said, if the two of them can't show their affection directly.
Zeana unknowingly moves away and is indifferent to Felix and Zero, but after learning that Nico is not like him, Zeana turns into a chameleon suddenly.
It starts to get spoiled and chatty in order to get Felix and Zero's attention and maybe Nico some of the time.
And will be evil when dealing with Sisqia and others who are close to Nico. As well as the appearance of Zeana who also turned into a girl with thick makeup instead of even more beautiful, Zeana even looks bad.
It was certainly known and realized by Felix and also Zero, and that was also the reason they did not like Zeana now.
Maybe in outline Zeana who is always neglected by her family and plus should not be liked by the people she loves. But in reality Zeana himself causes it all. Zeana is the key to the problems she has and faces.
I've heard that "We are the main characters in our lives." It indicates that our lives are lived and chosen by ourselves.

"We don't know if Anna's going to change as she is now, after all, that time wasn't a coincidence." Said Reno trying to explain to Jeano the current situation.
"But what now? Even Anna doesn't seem to know me."
"Yes you try to be close to Anna again, you two are good friends as a child. It won't be hard for that."
"It's just easy said not to do." Ketus Jeano looked coldly at his father.
"How else do you want?" Reno himself does not know what to do, because this is beyond what they predicted.
All this happened because at that time all important numbers and closest relatives had to be erased because of an accident that made Jeano unable to contact Zeana again.
"I want to get engaged to Anna!!"
"What??" Reno is shocked by what Jeano says. "Surely, you're still in school. How can I have an engagement relationship?"
"I don't care, anyway I want to get engaged to Anna at all costs."
Reno massaged her temple which now felt dizzy suddenly. "But how?"
"That's Dad's business." Jeano's sinless speech threw the matter at Reno, which made Reno look directly at Jeano with an unexpected look.
"Hey, who really has a problem? Why should I think of all this?"
Jeano just shuddered his shoulders without caring, and Reno stared at the child. The two of them were silent for quite a while with their thoughts
"Is there an idea?" Jeanne asked impatiently.
"Shut up, let me think."
"Why is it so long?"
"Hey, think for yourself then."
Reno is increasingly upset by the behavior of this child alone, a truly ungodly child. While Jeano immediately went back into silence when he saw Reno was angry, he did not want this to happen.
Until Reno had a brilliant idea. "How about we have an arranged marriage? You and Zeana were betrothed by us parents."
Jeanopun immediately nodded in agreement, maybe this is one way for Zeana to return to him.
Finally Reno immediately called Felix to make this match, and unexpectedly Felix immediately agreed. Felix was even happy if later Jeano who will be with Zeana, rather than having to continue to grieve for chasing after Nico.
Because after all Jeano is Felix's favorite Bocal Tengil, where from the beginning Felix knew how Jeano loved Zeana so much.
***
On the other hand Felix is trying to tell Zeana about this matchmaking, and she hopes Zeana will accept it.
"There's something Daddy wants to talk to you about Anna." Felix said suddenly after they finished dinner together.
Zeana, who was listening to that, stared in disbelief at Felix, which was very unusual.
"Speak about what Dad is?"
"Daddy will match you to Daddy's friend's son."
"What?" Shouted Zeana in disbelief. "But I'm still in Dad's school." Zeana tries to prevent this engagement from happening, after all she loves Nico. So how can he make a match with someone else?
"It's just an engagement not a wedding so you can do just that."
"But-"
"There is no rejection!" Felix quickly cut off Zeana's words, after which Zeana could no longer resist her.
"Who's going to make a fool of me?"
"Let's see tomorrow, and Daddy wants you to accept the match."
"Good Dad." That was all Zeana could say, if persuading Felix couldn't she would try to persuade her would-be fiancee to call off their matchmaking.
As for Zero, there was no way Zeana would persuade her to call off this matchmaking past Zero because she was not close to her sister.
"Then I'll go to Dad's room."
"Hm."
Only a deheman that Zeana got, because it was normal that he got it.
"Good night Dad, brother." Zeana said, without waiting for an answer from Felix or Zero, because it will not exist.
Felix and Zeropun just silently stared at Zeana's back which began to disappear up the stairs to her room.
