Billionaire Seedling The Mafia
Chapter 55

Being teased, Luciana finally allowed to go home.

"Why go home in a hurry?" ask Zaen.

"You're starting to suck, anyway who likes you? Maybe Brother Zaen likes me." Luciana laughed very crisply, while Zaen ruffled the girl's hair.

"Come on, I'll take you home."

"No, I called Erick. He's the one who's gonna pick me up and take me home." Luciana moved out of the house and Zaen followed her from behind to take her to the front of the house.

Not long after, a man came using a red motorbike. Zaen didn't see his face. But he had seen that bike. Until at the end, he remembered something.

"Wasn't he the man at the time?" mumble Zaen. The man who tried to harass Ameera a long time ago. That was where Ameera had always approached him because only Zaen was the kindest and most polite man to women.

"Is he your girlfriend?" ask Zaen slowly.

Luciana looked over while nodding. "I'll go home first." Without hearing the answer from Zaen the girl had already approached the man who was even sitting on his motorbike.

Basic man has no manners, the man just left. However, Zaen felt that nothing was right. Looking at the man's eyes from behind his helmet was like he was drunk. Finally, Zaen followed them.

When following him, the motor was speeding very fast and not the direction to Luciana's house.

"Where are you going to Lusia?" mumble Zaen.

The bike ended up stalled somewhere, a lot of other bikes. Looks like it's Erick's friends. They were partying, because Zaen saw that there were many bottles there.

"I'm not cool." Zaen clenched his hands, even seeing that Luciana seemed to reject the man's invitation. Luciana's hand was forced to join. Then, Zaen's car approached and shone his car's lights at them.

All who were there felt the glare of light from the car lights including Luciana.

"Erick, I'm going home. Please let go, and take me home," said Luciana.

"You are my lover, so you must accompany me to drink here with my friends," Erick asked forcefully.

"Take him off!" yelled Zaen who just got out of the car.

"Damn, why is he always there messing things up!" grouser Erick.

"Sir Zaen." Lucia immediately threw Erick's hand and approached Zaen.

"Get in the car" said Zaen.

"Don't interfere, she's my lover" Erick said.

Without an answer, Zaen just hit Erick's stomach. "That's a lesson for you, don't take Lucia away to a place like this and stop harassing women!" Zaen was furious at the man.

Luciana and Zaen, no one spoke during the trip. Zaen immediately drove the girl home.

"Thank you" said Luciana upon arriving at her home.

"Other times if you're looking for the right guy, don't just have a look" Zaen said.

"Do I have to find a man like you? It's impossible for me to get a man like you, brother."

"It's been there, it's been night" Zaen said.

"If there's a guy like you for me," Lucia said after getting out of the car.

As the words were thrown, Lisia and Leon heard them. No doubt, they both love each other. The existence of her parents made Lucia surprised.

"We should ask, where have you come home at this hour? Did Mammy not hear wrong?" ask Lisia.

"Sound what? I didn't say anything."

"Don't lie to us, how long have you been dating?" timpat Leon's. "We agree that if you guys are dating, we have also agreed to match you with Zaen," he said.

Lucia who heard was very surprised by her father's words, since when did they plan the match? thought. Lucia's esophagus seemed to be choked and could not speak anymore.

"Why? Are you happy to hear that?" ask Lisia to her daughter.

"When was the matchmaking plan?" ask Lucia.

"Since you were babies" Lisia replied.

Nothing is covered from Zaen to him, he knows who the girl the man likes. Because this match made Zaen close the door of his heart to another woman. But what would happen if he knew who would be his wife? Will their friendship remain? Is everything gonna be okay? Nah! Everything must change, no more words of affection, no more jokes of laughter if the matchmaking happens.

"No, Mam. Me and Brother Zaen just want to be friends and I'll just be his sister. I don't want ity's affection to turn into hate" said Lucia.

"meaning?" ask Leon.

"Sir Zaen loves other people, I don't want his feelings to turn out to dislike me because of this matchmaking." Lucia immediately left her parents.

That's why, Luciana is trying to have a lover. He didn't want Zaen to think he liked her. Even Zaen often teases him about his feelings, he does not want the friendship that is intertwined just because the feelings are not conveyed.

Yes, Lusiana did like Zaen since she was still sitting on the Junior High School bench. However, at that time he knew that there was someone who liked Zaen even to the point of still chasing him. Because this matchmaking that makes Zaen still can not accept other women.

The matchmaking was never discussed at all by her parents, and finally today Lusia knows who Zaen Smith is betrothed to. Namely, himself.

For the sake of friendship to remain well-established, Luciana refused the match.

Both her parents fell silent when her daughter refused the match.

"How's this? Luciana refused, but I could see the love in her eyes for Zaen" Lisia said.

"The decision is with them, isn't it? If both of them refuse, we as parents can not force. Let it all flow by itself" explains Leon.

Zaen arrived home.

When he arrived inside, he overheard the conversation between his parents. He was shocked to find out who he was being betrothed to. All this time, Zaen was a very devoted child. He never once denied what his parents said. Why should I go with Luciana? Doesn't that girl love him? What kind of relationship would he have if there was no love?

Every time he teases the girl, he often gets the answer that she doesn't like him. Lucia only thought of him as an older brother, nothing more than a younger brother asking for his protection.

"Zaen," call Muara. "You just got home?" ask again.

"Yes, Mom. I'll go to the room first" said Zaen.

"Did he hear our conversation?" maura asked her husband.

"I don't think so" replied Rayyan.

Inside the room, Zaen sloshed his body. Today's news is enough to make him a hanger. Luciana who was betrothed to him, and did the girl accept this matchmaking? thought.

He also hurt Ameera because he would accept the match. But now, after he knew who the girl was making him uneasy. Luciana or Ameera?

Likewise with Luciana, the girl did not want to think about the matchmaking. However, the shadow of Zaen's face always flashed. Trying to open your heart to others has failed. But he should talk about this matter, he should not be selfish. Perhaps, if they refused the match together, both parents would understand.
