Because of You
third person

🌠

Laila smiled to herself remembering a while ago she spent time with Zacky.

Never had he imagined before, the plan of meeting with the Son ended with the one he loved..

"that's a shame..!" he muttered by touching his own lips which still developed a smile..

His steps came to a halt as his feet almost touched the stairs, he saw the still-lit television in the central room..

curious as to who was watching it, Laila turned her steps closer wondering who was behind the back of the sofa....

"Dad..??" he strangled when he saw someone sleeping on a single sofa facing a television that was broadcasting midnight news..

Laila shook Rahadi's hand trying to wake her up.

he also adjusted the light that entered his eyes..

"why do you sleep here..?" laila asked when her father had regained consciousness..

"dad is waiting for you..!" he answered by rubbing his eyes..

"sorry dad. I've made you wait..!"

"ahh. it's okay..!" the answer is a small laugh..

"Which son..? you were ushered home?" he asked again by looking at the whereabouts of the Son who might be behind Laila.

Rahadi's question made Laila suddenly nervous..

he was confused about what to answer the question but he also did not want to lie to his father...

"a.. I was ushered home..!" the awkward answer that wasn't entirely lying..

he was indeed driven home, but not with the Son but Zacky his lover..

"actually I want to meet him..!" he showed a disappointed face

"then what do you think..is he good..?" tanyanya enthusiastic..

my guess is correct. Dad must have asked about him...

how'this?

Laila was more confused to string the right words to explain to her father..

"what is this father..? dad says he's good, why else..?"

laila's reply made Rahadi chuckle..

From the look of his face can be seen that Rahadi is very happy.

and Laila felt more sinful...

Rahadi was indeed happy to see her daughter did not issue youhan sentences about the Son..

the problem they are dating or not is a later affair, which is important Laila likes first..

Laila took Rahadi by the hand to take her to her father's room so that her father could rest..

"it's the Son's suit, huh...?" rahadi asked along with his steps pointing at a suit that Laila was wearing, apparently he forgot to return it to Zacky..

To avoid the lie Laila did not nod or shake her head.he just gave a smile in response..

"why is my brother daddy sleeping on a couch..?" accuse Laila when she just sat on the dining table chair..

Damar who was busy feeding his mouth fried rice stopped his activities and turned to Laila who was scooping the same food into his plate..

"sister has persuaded me. But father maksa waiting for you. he said he wanted to meet the Son.." he replied then continued his feed..

but a few seconds later he stopped it again like he was remembering something..

"grandpa.. What's that son..?" the sentence of the question that Laila wanted to avoid came out of Damar's mouth..

"he didn't come..!" answer is short

"was..why is that...??"

"no, sister. don't talk to him..!" he said by stirring the food on his lazy plate..

"what is clear is. Brother do not talk about what2 with father.this problem let me handle myself..!" he whispered to Damar and was taken by his brother..

"most fathers are very strange.sister never thought father would admit to things that are not clear is the same as you..!" return to the food..

Laila also did not understand the wishes of her father who seemed to be in a hurry to find a partner for her..

his goal of becoming a great businessman like Damar is likely to just hang in his imagination..

she would spend her time as a housewife confined within the palace of boredom...

ahh. Just imagined it Laila was already shuddering in horror...

There's not much Damar can do for Laila, he just tells her not to make her father's emotions explode. Because it's very dangerous for his heart..

"what the hell is mah...?"

zacky complained as Salma turned her body right and left..

"waaah.mama's son is very dashing..!" he said by looking at his son from top to bottom who appeared to wear a formal suit suit complete with shiny shoes..

Zacky clucked and pulled the chair to sit on..

"what is mah..?" ask her by grabbing the barley bread Salma had prepared for her.

"your father has left in the morning2 once.." he replied while pouring water for Zacky. "you will refuse to help papa. so your father left early to prepare everything..!" he sat next to his son

"i changed my mind, ma'am.I want to help papa..!" Zacky said after downing the water his mother gave him.

"really..?" salma asked sitting next to him to make sure he didn't hear wrong..

"you must have absorbed this..!" Salma stroked Zacky's shoulder..

"mah.. I want to learn from papa so that I can build a company bigger than papa's..!" he was excited to make Salma even more proud..

he is determined to prove to a father who wants the perfect son-in-law for his daughter..

and it is from the company that he will begin..

* *

It is not an easy matter for Zacky to start everything if not from scratch.Aided by the assistant Arya appointed for him, Zacky learned all about the company of the father very well..

His intelligence at his disposal made him understand everything faster than expected..

Both meeting in the office or with clients now get used to Zacky live.he is also always a representative when his father has to attend other events.

Arya's business partner began to get to know Zacky, a handsome, smart and hardworking young man who caught their minds..

And of course he has been targeted by Arya's business partner who has a daughter..

His busyness in the company makes him rarely communicate with Laila. How not, the workshop he had built had already begun to enter its prime and desperately needed extra attention from him. Hanging out with many communities of motor children makes the name of the workshop easily known. Even Zacky was made confused because he had to find an additional mechanic..

* * *

Zacky's decision to quit college clearly made Laila sad..

why should I drop out of college anyway? even lately he's increasingly rarely contact me.. actually he works what is it..??

"WOYY...!!" sentak Vanya who saw Laila from earlier daydreaming with his hands stirring the contents of the bowl in front of him never finished..

Laila jumped and reflex almost hit the spoon in her hand..

"Zacky hasn't called you yet?" guess it then took over the spoon in Laila's hand and pulled the bowl closer to her..

and Laila let out a weak sigh, not because of the food that was taken, but limp in hearing Vanya's question..

"it looks like Zacky's covering something up from me..!" he said by looking somewhere..

Vanya pushed the bowl again when he felt the food he tasted was not worth eating..

"you're eating food from last month, huh? how adem..!" his comments on the food that had one mouthful slid down his throat..

Laila clucked and folded the hand on the table..

"we're talking about Zacky, Nya. not the contents of this bowl..!" his scolding then melengos..

"yes you call him dong. askin let it be clear.."

"he's already..!" the answer returned to look

"he always answers later yank, I'm busy, baby. I love you..!" he continued with contrived lip movements..

Vanya laughed.. "that she still loves you, right..?"

"but I don't want to just talk about it. I also need his presence..!" reply by slightly raising his tone..

"samperin if so..!"

"i'm afraid..."

"fear why..?"

"fear of accepting the fact that Zacky is covering something up from me..!" pessimistic answer..

"i don't know where she works yet..!"

Vanya clucking..

"he was given the driver's aunt Salma. tanyain dong.."

"aunty Salma said Zacky was no longer a driver..!" his answer weakened by immersing his face above the folds of his hands..

"already... don't be sad that.. later we ask Fatan... okay?!" entertain Vanya by rubbing Laila's back and she looked up..

"why did you just say..?" he said he stood up and was busy looking for a cell phone in his bag..

"emm. but La..!" vanya's words sounded awkward..

Laila stopped the movement of her thumb hanging over the phone screen and then turned her head..

"why..?"

"kalo.... the guy who was betrothed to you is how La..?" his words seemed hesitant..

Laila gave a rough sigh then put her phone on the table..

"i don't know how it goes. After the meeting plan that night, until now my father never discussed the Son again..!"

"why..?"

"wish I go to college maybe...!" he answered indifferently by grabbing his already melted cold drink..

Laila again floated her mind along with the flow of the cold liquid that had not passed her lips..

The story with the mysterious Son seems to close the book..

Somehow Rahadi returned to give him uncertainty.he has not received Zacky but he also did not continue the matchmaking he wanted for Laila..

Indeed, since he was diagnosed with heart disease, not infrequently Laila's father wanted a change..

Laila and Damar just try not to make her angry and follow her every wish..

But when Laila said she wanted to focus on college, Rahadi just agreed. Rahadi did not say canceling the match, but he no longer talked about the Son.

And again, his attitude that makes Laila can not resist the curiosity..

Laila did not want to take a headache.maybe she should only think of one man, namely Zacky who always makes his feelings uneasy..

Loving and being loved are common, but when a love story is fought together, it makes it amazing..

"phffuhhh....!"

instantly the liquid in his mouth spurted making Vanya who was next to him so surprised..

"what the hell...??"

Laila shows her cell phone to Vanya showing a message from an unknown number with a sentence familiar to Laila..

*Every time I trade my soul because of you

Son*

Vanya followed the gap reading the message..

"what is the message from the Son..?"

Laila froze, suddenly her heart was pounding..

why did she suddenly appear when Laila would not think about it anymore..?

Enough already Laila faced her genius, the cancellation of their matchmaking made Laila can breathe a sigh of relief. But why did he disturb Laila's calm?

instead of replying to the message, Laila scrolled the contacts on her phone looking for a name and pressed the call icon..

The call is connected, but long enough the owner receives the call..

"helloo...?"

initially Laila smiled as her call connected. But when he heard the voice of a woman greeting him, his smile faded..

"who are you..?"

me?

askinya..

"yeah you.. Who else..?" laila replied, getting upset..

I'm Zora

answer's relaxed..

Suddenly Laila decided on her call.she clenched her trembling hand firmly withstanding emotions..

His feeling was messy..

Why is Zacky's phone in a woman's hand..??

☇☇☇
