The unconscious Zie lies in a hotel bedroom with a head wound that looks bruised from her last fight. The worried Juan sat beside Zie's bed while clasping her hands. Juan had changed his clothes and the wound on his shoulder was wrapped in bandages.
Adrian stood looking out of Zie's room window from the 4th floor. How there are no 5-star hotel facilities in this city because it is not a tourist spot. This hotel is already the best Juan's staff can prepare.
"Juan...do you realize who their real target is?" Adrian starting.
Juan does not take his eyes off Zie, Juan feels guilty about not being able to protect the woman he likes. "I started to realize it when the sniper in the helicopter aimed his shot at Zie, not me. That's why I pushed Zie into the ocean to avoid the shot." Juan recalled the incident on board that injured his left shoulder.
"Yes, they're after Zie. Today's events have convinced me more." Adrian looked at Juan who continued to hold Zie's hand. "Did Zie know he was the real target?"
"I haven't told him because I was hesitant at first." Answer Juan.
"I still doubt whether to tell him or let him be as he is now. If Zie knew he'd be getting reckless and harder to manage. He won't be escorted." Adrian looked confused. "If his father finds out, then the situation will get more complicated. Wiranata Utama's overprotective attitude will make things worse." Adrian took a deep breath.
"Can I imagine what Om Wira will do to Zie, he will definitely be in tight security 1x24 hours. Seeing Zie who can't be restrained is bound to be a fight." Juan also imagined what would happen if Wiranata Utama knew Zie in danger. It did not rule out the possibility that Zie would be sent to a place that Juan could not find as before. Juan didn't want that until it happened.
"But Zie still has to be taken care of. Even though he feels capable, we will never know if yesterday's situation came back. Zie is great enough to defend himself, but if their numbers are more still out of balance. I'm sure after this the BEE syndicate will still send other trained men to go after Zie." Adrian walked up and sat on the sofa looking at Zie who was still asleep.
"What's the reason they're after Zie? has his identity been compromised?" ask Juan.
"It seems like they already know Zie's identity. You remember what happened a few days ago when Zie and Bian played together and followed?" Ask Adrian.
"Yes, Bian told me that someone was following them but you guys managed to catch them. But unfortunately they can't be introgated about their destination because they were shot dead by snipers." Answer Juan.
"Actually at first I also thought they were indeed tailing Bian. But there is something strange, in every photo they take there is always Zie and Bian in it. Zie says he left Bian for a while, but there are no photos of Bian alone. It never occurred to them that their target was actually Zie until yesterday's shooting on the ship."
"How could they suspect Zie's identity? Zie has a very different appearance to his old days." Juan seemed to be thinking hard.
"I've thought about it. Most likely during the inauguration party of Mahaputra company yesterday there were tang suspects Zie's identity. The last moment trying to save you from shooting Zie's sunglasses came loose and gone. Zie's face was clearly visible afterwards. At the party, many invited guests were also acquaintances of the Main family. I'm sure for people who are close enough or know for a long time will definitely feel recognize Zie even though not so sure. Didn't you think the same when you first met Zie?"
Juan recalled the moment of their reunion. Juan was sure to feel recognized, but Juan did not want to admit it until Juan only thought that Zie and Naziera were just the same.
"Awlawyers are quite a lot, among them quite a lot of business-related with the Main family. It would not be easy to reveal his identity. Alu will provide a list of invitations present as soon as possible." Juan told Adrian.
"Surely this person has a fairly close relationship with the main family. You could say you know Zie enough." Adrian added.
"So, what should we do? Should Zie be told?" juan asked Adrian as he stood up leaving Zie asleep. Juan sat on the sofa beside Adrian.
Adrian shook his head. "For a while we keep it a secret. I will still assign Zie to be your bodyguard, but I will ask the mercenaries to escort him. I can reason that you need an extra escort, Zie won't realize that the escort is for her."
"A good idea. At least thus Zie would remain vigilant and remain in escort. Wiranata Utama won't be too worried either." Juan agreed. In addition, by continuing with him Juan can be calmer, no need to worry Zie will disappear again. Juan promises himself to look after and protect Zie.
"But we can't hide it for too long, because the slow sea is bound to unfold. Inevitably we must quickly uncover the identity of the BEE syndicate for Zie's safety." Adrian.
" I'll definitely help you in this. By the way, I have to tell you that Zie already knows that I already know his identity." Juan told Adrian. Hearing that Adrian widened his eyes.
"He knows I told you?" adrian asked who nodded Juan's head. " What was his reaction?"
"Zie answered calmly, he said he believed your decision. He knows you're doing it for good." Juan patted Adrian on the shoulder.
Adrian seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief. "It turns out this kid is an adult. The former Zie would definitely be very angry if the secret was leaked, the present Zie turned out to be quite wise to react to it." Adrian looks moved to see the changes Zie growing older.
"I see Zie has changed a lot. Six years has been a lot of time. I was amazed to see the change. Zie looks very reliable." Juan added.
"Although Zie looks very reliable, Zie's heart is still very fragile. The trauma of the incident still lingers in him. Zie always displays her figure that looks strong, whereas behind her appearance there is a weak woman figure that needs to be protected." Adrian is able to understand Zie because for 2 years Zie joined his agency, Adrian always keep him as an older brother. Only Adrian Zie showed his frail figure.
Hearing Adrian's words, Juan was envious because Adrian was a backstop for Zie. Adrian is very understanding of Zie, that means Zie shows his true self only to Adrian.
Juan decided he had to be the one Zie trusted. The figure where Zie could lean. Juan wanted to protect Zie from everything that would hurt her. Juan promised Zie in his heart. 'I will protect you...'
