Chequek!
As soon as Ziano opened the door, he was flabbergasted when he saw who had come.
"Melinda?" Ziano looked at the woman who was smiling at him. Ziano did not expect to see her again, but he did not want to see her again.
Ziano and Melinda have been friends for a long time from school, Ziano is a loyal listener to the woman, as well as Melinda, she has always been a loyal listener to Ziano. Their friendship was so close, even people thought they were like lovers.
But 6 years ago Melinda suddenly left without telling him.
Ziano's eyes then turned to look at the child who was smiling at him.
"Emm. She's Zivana, my son." Melinda tries to introduce Zivana to Ziano.
"Are you married?"
"Six years ago I was forced to marry the man my father had betrothed. That's why I didn't have time to say goodbye to you when my husband brought me to live in England."
"So that's why you left without saying goodbye?" ziano asked with his cold gaze, he only felt himself being ignored first. They have been friends for a long time.
"Because I'm acute, I'm afraid my heart is heavy to go, because I've loved you Zi for a long time."
Ziano rounded his eyes as soon as he heard Melinda's words, he did not expect that Melinda loved him in the past. While Ziano was stiff from a long time ago, he had no idea how he felt about Melinda, only he used to be very comfortable being friendly with that woman, a person who had always been his loyal listener, let alone Ziano was indeed lonely, as an adopted child and trained to faithfully serve the Gilbert family.
"But when I was pregnant my husband died. I continue my husband's business. Even because I still love you so much, I gave my son Zivana a name, so that my longing would be a little healed."
Ziano just sighed, indeed after Melinda left he became demoralized, no one was always paying attention to him anymore, no one was always listening, there was no one who always comforted him when he was sad.
"But it's also free for you to reveal it to me, it's all over."
"But you love me too, am I Zi?"
Ziano shook his head, "I don't know Mel, I'm a hard person to read how I feel. But I used to assume you were one of the meaningful people in my life."
Zivana did not understand the conversation of the two adults, she chose to play dolls only, coincidentally from earlier she brought a doll.
"I'm married!"
The deg!
Melinda was silent for a moment, she did not believe Ziano's words at all. Ziano, a man so rigid that he doesn't even know what love is, it's impossible to marry someone else. Unless the woman seduces Ziano and forces him into marriage.
"Don't joke Zi, I know how you are,"
"But that is the reality."
"Did that woman tempt you so she married you? I know you're the one who doesn't think about marriage."
"I don't think you need to know why." Because actually Ziano also did not know how he felt about Sandra, even though he felt maybe he fell in love with the woman because every time he was with her his heart continued to tremble.
"Marriage without love is excruciating. You better end it quickly if you don't want to live in suffering. Like I used to."
Ziano couldn't possibly let Melinda into the apartment, as he also had to appreciate Sandra's feelings.
"Then I say goodbye, I only stay here for a week. I hope you can think about your future. I wish we could be with Zi." Finally Melinda said goodbye to Ziano, she grabbed Zivana's hand.
Zivana smiled cheerfully, she waved her hand at Ziano. "Om's drug!"
Ziano had to smile at Zivana.
Ziano looked at Melinda who had now taken the elevator with her son. Ziano closed the door again, he went back to his room.
Ziano was stunned to see Sandra who had fallen asleep. Maybe tonight is not the time he can do the first night with Sandra. Especially after the arrival of Melinda made her passion disappear.
Ziano confirmed the blanket Sandra was wearing, then she threw herself beside Sandra while thinking about something. While Sandra had not slept, she was just pretending to be asleep. He overhears Ziano's conversation with Melinda.
What if Ziano had to marry her? Just as a form of responsibility? What if Ziano actually loved that woman in his past?
This was the reason why he forbade Ziano to come to his wedding, he was afraid that Ziano would be forced to marry him, because he could guess that Ziano was not a man who fell in love easily.
