Love That Pain
Being a stupid man

With permission from Veon, Zaki escorts Chelsea to the airport. But before heading to the airport, Zaki invites Chelsea to go somewhere. Zaki had wanted to take Chelsea to that place for a long time, but he never had a chance, especially with the problems that the woman faced at that time.

Zaki stops his car in a park, they get out of the car and step towards the park.

“Zak, this is it..”

Zaki nodded his head, “this is the place where I used to say my promise to you. The promise where I'll never die is you no matter what, but it's me..."

“Then why did you bring me here, do you want to remind me of that pain again?”

Zaki shook his head, “I want to keep that promise,” he said.

Chelsea scrunched her forehead, “what do you mean, Zak? Don't joke!”

Zaki clasped Chelsea's hand, “I'm not kidding, I'm serious. I've been thinking about this for a long time, I.”.

Chelsea threw Zaki's hand, “now you take me to the airport, I don't want to be late.” The woman then stepped foot, but Zaki quickly pulled Chelsea's hand, “lego, Zak!” yells.

“Chel, why are you like this? Don't you want us to come back like we used to?”

Quickly Chelsea shook her head, “I don't want to! Why did you change your mind like that? Is it because you feel sorry for me? What because of that, huh!” loudly shouting.

“It's not like that, Chel. Sorry if all this time I've hurt you, I did all this because I still love you. All this time I can't forget you, I love you Chel,” I'm Zaki while holding Chelsea's hand.

“Sorry, I can't. I don't love you anymore, it's all just the past.” I'm sorry Zak, I don't want you to suffer later, I don't deserve you, I'm dirty! You deserve a better woman than me, he thought.

“But I want to start from scratch again with you, I'm sure you still love me.”

Chelsea let go of Zaki's hand, “Zak, I don't love you anymore, and you do. So you better forget everything.” The woman then looked at the clock on her wrist, “if you don't want to take me to the airport, I can go by myself,” she said then stepped away to the car.

Zaki let out a long sigh, “was I in too much of a hurry? But I did this because I don't want to lose him a second time.”

Zaki then walked to the car, he then got into the car and drove his car to the airport. On the way to the airport, Chelsea just kept quiet while staring out the window.

“Are you angry with me?” Zaki remained focused looking ahead.

“Why are you doing that same to me?” Chelsea spoke without looking at Zaki.

“Because I love you, I don't want to lose you again.”

“Are you stupid, Zak? Why do you still love a dirty woman like me? why?” Chelsea was no longer able to hold back the tears that had filled both corners of his eyes.

“If loving you can make me a stupid man, then I will do it.”

“Did Brother Veon know all this? Did he tell you to do this?”

Zaki shook his head, “tuan Veon doesn't know anything, all this is my own wish,” he said.

They finally arrived at the airport. Zaki and Chelsea get out of the car, Zaki picks up Chelsea's suitcase in the trunk of the car.

“Now you can go home, I can enter by myself.” Chelsea then took the suitcase held by Zaki.

“I'll get you inside.”

Chelsea shook his head, “go, thank you for bringing me here,” he said with a smile on his face.

“Chel, can't we go back like we used to?”

“You deserve a better woman than me.”

“But I just..”

“Zak, can I ask you to please?” Zaki nodded his head, “please take care of my sister, make her fall in love with Kania. Kania is a very good girl, do not let your sister waste a girl as good as Kania, otherwise my brother will definitely regret it later,” said Chelsea expectantly.

“I don't promise, but I'll try to bring them closer.”

Chelsea reached out her hand, “do you still want to be friends with me?” ask her with a smile on her face.

Zaki shook Chelsea's hand, “I will still wait for an answer from me, I will never give up even though a thousand times you reject me,” he said.

“Zak, I'm dirty, I don't deserve you to wait!”

Zaki shook his head, “you are wrong, it is only you that I deserve to wait. I also do not care, you are dirty or still holy, because my heart has chosen you,” he said.

Zaki stared at Chelsea who had even entered the airport, “I will prove if I am serious this time, I will still wait for your arrival.” The man then got back in the car, Zaki then drove his car out of the airport.

“Now that Chelsea's problem is over, there are now problems with Papa and Mama who always demand that I give her a grandchild. How could I give them grandchildren, whereas me and Kania have never even done that, nor would I ever do that as well as her!”

Veon leaned his body against the back of his chair, his head feeling very dizzy. Knock on the door instantly disperse his daydream, “in,” sahut.

The door opened slowly, Kania emerged from behind the door. New also in bullshit, now even nongol here, he thought.

“Do you want to come to my office?” Veon asked in a cold tone, even his facial expression could be seen very clearly if he did not like the arrival of Kania.

Kania put lunch on the table, “I just want to deliver lunch for you. Actually I was lazy to come here, but Mama you forced me to deliver this food,” he said no less cold.

Veon pretends to be busy checking the files on his desk, “I'm busy, there's no time to eat the food. You better take it home again if you don't want me to throw it away!”

Kania clenched both her hands, “what is this attitude that your parents taught you?”

Veon gritted his teeth, his two eyes increasingly staring intently at Kania. The man then moved from his seat and stepped closer to Kania, “what did you say? you questioned the upbringing of both my parents!” it was with a tone that started to rise.

Kania cursed her own words, she forgot if the man standing in front of her was so sensitive when it came to her parents, “a—ku..”.

Veon grabbed both arms of Kania, “now you have dared to question the upbringing of my parents! Do you feel like you are now a part of my family until you dare to act like this now! Is it because I kept you quiet all this time, to make you feel free to do whatever you want!”

Kania looks very scared, this man standing in front of her is even ready to pounce on her anytime, “m—forgive me, me...”.

Veon threw Kania's body until she fell to the floor, “now you're out of my room! bring all those foods too!” he shouted and returned his feet to his work chair.

Kania hurried to his feet as he heard the knock on the door. The door began to open when it sounded authentic from within. Zaki walked into Veon's room, the man staring at Kania who was bowing his face.

“Have you taken Chelsea to the airport?” Veon started to turn on the laptop in front of him.

“Already sir.” Zaki looked at Kania who was wiping away her tears, did she just cry? Her thought.

“Zak, what do you see?” Veon knew that Zaki had been watching Kania.

“Why is Miss Kania here? Then the one on the table, isn't that lunch?” ask Zaki.

“Hem..” Veon simply replied with deheman.

“Do you not want to eat it?”

“Hem..”.

Zaki then moved his legs closer to Kania, “what lunch can I eat? Can be redundant if thrown away,” he said with a smile on his face.

Kania stared at Veon who was now staring at him with sharp eyes, “of course, than I throw away, I better give it to you. Actually all this food I cooked, it's my first time cooking. I will be very grateful if you want to try my cooking,” he said with a smile on his face.

Veon clenched both his hands, ‘how dare he smile like that same Zaki!’

Zaki gazed towards Veon, “lord sure you don't want to eat it? This is Miss Kania's first meal,” she said. Zaki accidentally teases Veon so that he changes his mind and wants to taste Kania's cuisine.

“If you want, you just eat, I don't need!” Veon again busied himself with a flat screen in front of him, but occasionally he glanced at Zaki and Kania who were sitting on the sofa. The man even gulped his saliva many times, not to mention his stomach which had been hungry since, but he was proud if he wanted to eat together with Zaki.

“Nona Kania, your cooking is very delicious, I am lucky to eat food as good as this,” praise Zaki while continuing to eat Kania cuisine.

“Thank you Zak, I'm glad anyone would appreciate my cooking.” Kania then took a glass of water and he gave it to Zaki, “drink, I know you are thirsty,” he said with a smile.

Zaki received the glass of water, “thank you, Miss,” he said then sipped the water until it ran out. The man then rubbed his stomach that felt full, he also thanked Kania for his lunch.

“Zak, don't call me Miss, call me Kania only,” pinta Kania.

“But you are..”.

“I'm still the old Kania, even though I'm married to your employer, but that doesn't change anything!” Kania stared at Veon who had been looking at him coldly and with sharp eyes, “I just want to have friends, do you want to be my friend?” tanyanya.
