Love That Pain
I hate you so much!

Zaki invites Chelsea and Eric to stop by the restaurant. Since this afternoon he has not eaten anything, his stomach has been making a row and asked immediately to be filled. Zaki starts ordering food for Chelsea as well as Eric.

“It's brother who treat ya.”

“You rest easy, I'll treat.”

“Tumben you want to treat me to Eric, are you celebrating something?” asked Chelsea in curiosity.

“Nothing, yes it's okay at all times I treat that rancid boy.” Zaki looked at Eric who was busy with a flat object in his hand, “until when will he stay at your house?” tanyanya.

“Until he graduates college.”

Zaki scrunched his forehead, “meaning?” tanyanya's confused.

“Eric will be studying here.”

Not long after the food and drinks they ordered had arrived, the restaurant waiter arranged the food and drinks neatly on the table, before stepping down. Zaki stopped their conversation and began to enjoy the food that had been served on the table.

Sometimes Zaki glanced at Chelsea who were enjoying his food, the man then took his phone, he started typing something and sent it to Chelsea's number.

Feeling a vibration in his pants pocket, Chelsea immediately put the spoon on the plate and took his phone, he saw the message that had just entered. Chelsea's forehead frowned as they read the message.

I actually know what you're talking about with Eric

Chelsea looked at Zaki who was now back to enjoying his food, ‘what the fuck, so was he just pretending?’ he murmured in the heart.

Chelsea then type in a reply for Zaki

So you fooled me! why were you pretending like that?

Zaki read a reply message from Chelsea, he just smiled as he glanced at Chelsea who are currently still looking at him for a long time.

“What are you doing anyway? I've seen since you've been busy with your own phones.” Eric noticed something strange about Zaki and Chelsea's behavior, instead of spending their food, they were busy typing messages to each other.

“You don't need to know!” Chelsea then spend the food that is only a few bribes, “I want to go to the toilet for a while.” The woman got up from her seat and walked away.

Now it's just Zaki and Eric. Eric, who was done with his meal, now began to sip the orange juice he ordered earlier.

“What is Brother Zaki interested in Brother Chelsea?” Eric put the orange juice back on the table, “ I know that brother just pretended not to understand what I was talking about with Brother Chelsea,” guess.

Zaki brushed off his smile, “then you want what?” challenge her.

Eric scrunched his forehead, “you mean brother?” tanyanya's confused.

“If it's true that I was just pretending, what do you want? besides I told Chelsea I was just pretending.”

“Why do you do all that? Do you really want the attention of Chelsea? Or maybe during this love brother clapped one hand?” satirize Eric while smiling at him.

“If you don't know anything, don't be pretentious and interfere with my affairs with Chelsea!” Zaki spoke coldly.

It's been more than 20 minutes, Chelsea are not back. Zaki and Eric feel very worried, they finally decide to follow Chelsea to the women's toilet. As they passed through the hallway, they heard Chelsea's voice sounding so frightened.

Zaki rounded his eyes when he saw Chelsea were in the support of Alex's body. Zaki quickly pulled Alex's hand and lashed a hard punch into the man's face. Eric hugged Chelsea who was crying at the time.

“Kakak is okay?” asked Eric worriedly.

“I'm fine, I just..” Chelsea's cries began as much as a headache, she couldn't tell Eric everything. Eric had no knowledge of his past.

Zaki clutches Alex's shirt collar firmly, “what are you doing with Chelsea, why is he crying like that?” clearly visible anger in both eyes Zaki, the grip of his strong hand increasingly showed his anger.

“Wait..wait, you guys misunderstood. I just wanted to apologise to Chelsea, I admitted all my mistakes. I want to be responsible for what I have done with Chelsea,” explained Alex.

“I don't need your accountability, we have nothing to do anymore!” chelsea shouted in her tears.

“For ever I will never forgive you, I regret because I loved you once, you jerk! I hate you so much, I don't want to see you anymore!”

“You heard that! Chelsea hate you so much, she doesn't want to see your face anymore, you better get out of front of me, otherwise don't blame me if you won't be able to get out of this restaurant!” threaten Zaki with sharp eyes.

Chelsea hold Zaki's wrist, “Zak, release him, do not dirty your hands with his dirty blood.”

Zaki threw Alex's body, until the man fell down, “if not for Chelsea, I would have beaten you all out!”

“I want to go home, we go from here.” Chelsea wiped her tears, “about this incident, do not let Brother Veon know, I beg you,” the door.

“But, brother you should know, if this jerk is still bothering you!”

Chelsea shook her head, “I don't want to add to Kak Veon's problems, I beg.” The woman asked by clenching her palms together.

Zaki sighed violently, “this time I will be quiet, but if he!” pointing towards Alex drooping on the floor, “ bothering you again, then I will finish him off!” threaten her.

Eric invites Chelsea to leave, while Zaki warns Alex. But Alex is not at all afraid of Zaki's threats. He would continue to meet the woman, because all this time he had been searching for her whereabouts.

“Honey, I will keep appearing in front of you. I've regretted everything, now I've realized, how much I love you.” Alex stared at the departure of Chelsea who are no longer visible, “I was late to realize, but I really love you!” his yell.

***

Chelsea ran up the stairs to her room, she didn't even pay attention to Kania who had been calling her since.

“Zak, what's up with Kania?” ask Veon curiously.

“So there was a man who was bothering Chelsea,” Eric said.

“What? who's that guy?” ask Kania curiously.

“Nobody, he's just a prankster.” Zaki looked at Veon who was currently looking at him with a serious look, “I'm sorry, because I have failed to keep Miss Chelsea,” he said while lowering his face.

Veon asks Kania, Eca, and Eric to leave. But Kania refuses, wanting to find out what really happened to her sister-in-law. Eca pulled Eric by the hand and took him away from the place.

“What man is Alex?” Zaki nodded his head, “what is he looking for Chelsea for again?” tanyanya.

“Which I heard from Alex's mouth earlier, he wants to apologize to Miss Chelsea, he wants to be responsible with all his actions first.”

“I've guessed this will definitely happen, when Chelsea come back here again.”

Kania did not understand the direction of the two men's conversation, “actually what are you guys talking about?” tanyanya.

“Honey, you don't need to know, remember you're pregnant, I don't want you to think too much. You better take care of the condition of your body, I don't want anything to happen with our child. Let me be with Zaki who takes care of everything, you take it easy.” Veon then kissed the back of Kania's hand.

“Master, can I see Miss Chelsea?” tanya Zaki braced himself.

Veon nodded his head, he was happy if anyone would accompany Chelsea at this time. Moreover, Veon already knows Zaki very well, besides Zaki knows all about Chelsea.

“Thank you.” Zaki then stepped foot into Chelsea's room. He was eager to comfort the woman, and wipe away all the tears he had shed just to cry over the jerk.

Zaki knocks on the door of Chelsea's room, “can I enter?” tanyakanya.

“Go! I don't need anyone's mercy!”

“Chel, please allow me to be your leaning place. Aren't we friends? Friends of friends should help each other.”

Hearing the word friend come out of Zaki's mouth, making Chelsea's heart even more painful. So all this time Zaki really only considered him a friend, “so that's why you were pretending you didn't understand what I was talking about with Eric. Pretend you don't speak English, and that's just to make me feel less ashamed in front of Eric who thinks you're jealous. How can you feel jealous, when our relationship is only a friend.” The woman said softly, her body still sitting while bending her knees, she hugged both knees tightly.
