Love Zena
Samuel Sinta's

All the office employees have gone home except Zena and Zaka. Zena has to complete a lot of tasks today. Even though she felt tired, Zena still tried to survive.

When Zena was busy, Zaka came with a glass of drink.

" Drink first, you must be thirsty right?!" ask Zaka.

Zena did not answer Zaka's question but he immediately grabbed the drink in Zaka's hand without further ado. Zaka only smiled because Zena did not refuse him a drink. Zena drank without seeing Zaka. After the drink ran out, he gave the empty glass to Zaka.

Zaka immediately went back to his room. Zaka didn't know how to start talking about the kiss yesterday. And eventually his plan fails to apologize to Zena.

The weekend morning was refreshing. This time Zena did not run in the morning but instead went to the basketball court to practice basketball. But when she reached the basketball court, Zena saw a man with a posture similar to her best friend, Zaedan. But it wasn't him.

Zena approached the person and intended to ask for permission to practice at that place.

" Excuse me, can I practice basketball here?" ask Zena.

The man looked towards Zena. He looked to be about 23 years old.

" Just go ahead. Or how about we train together?" ask the young man.

" Can.." replied Zena.

" I introduce, my name is Samuel. Live around here" said Samuel, extending his hand.

" I'm Zena. I also live near here" said Zena, shaking Samuel's hand.

" All right, let's practice together" Samuel said.

Zena and Samuel started training together. They're both great. Zena got a balanced opponent. They trained while competing for almost an hour.

After being tired they sit on the bench on the sidelines. Samuel gave Zena a new bottle of mineral water. Zena received it while saying "Thank you" to Samuel.

Zena drank and remembered Zaka and the kiss. Zena was stunned for a moment.

" Zena, can we be friends?" ask Samuel.

" Of course. You from now on we are friends" replied Zena.

" If you need a friend to practice with, call me. Here's my card" Samuel said.

" I don't have a business card. I'm just a regular employee" Zena said as she grabbed a business card from Samuel's hand.

" You will misscall me" said Samuel.

Since then, Zena and Samuel's relationship has grown closer. Until one day Samuel expressed his love for Zena they finished practicing.

" Zena, since the first time I saw you, I've started to like and fall in love with you. Will you be my girlfriend?!" samuel said while giving Zena a rose that had been prepared earlier.

Zena was silent and confused as to how to answer.

" I'm sorry Samuel. I still haven't thought of forming a relationship yet" Zena replied a little awkwardly.

" Have you loved anyone else?" samuel was disappointed.

" right. But, she never thought I existed" Zena recalled as Zaka considered her inferior to her cat.

" Who is he? Who is the man who treats you like that? He must be blind to his eyes and heart" said Samuel upset.

" Once, now I want to be alone for a while," Zena said with a sigh.

" Can I chase you?!" ask Samuel again.

" How, you will definitely be very tired," replied Zena.

" Maybe I'll be tired, but I want to try to make you fall in love. That's it," said Samuel sure could make Zena fall in love.

" It's up to you. Even though I always wished we could be friends" Zena said.

" Let me love you."

Zena could only nod slowly. Because he also cannot force someone to fall in love or vice versa.

Zaka was visibly upset and angry at rumors of Zena and Samuel's closeness. Everyone was hit. So too with Zena. But Zena pretends not to care about Zaka's jealous attitude.

That afternoon, Samuel came to pick up Zena as usual. Zena was out of the office as soon as the clock came home. Seeing Zena's behavior, Zaka also rushed home to make Sinta surprised by Zaka's behavior lately.

Zena went to see Samuel who had been waiting for her.

" Hey, have you been waiting a long time? I'm sorry when I got off as soon as possible" Zena said with a smile.

" No, I was the speed. Wait, your hair has something. Here I help dispose of," said Samuel offering help.

" Well, what's up?" ask Zena curiously.

" It's just a leaf, it's here" said Samuel.

Zena drew near to Samuel and Samuel immediately took the leaf that was lodged in Zena's hair with affection.

Zaka looked at what Samuel was doing with annoyance and his teeth rattled with jealousy. Zena realizes Zaka's existence, so Zena deliberately acts more friendly towards Samuel.

Zaka was burning with jealousy and he wanted to stop the friendly scene.

" Zena, haven't come home yet?" asked Zaka when he was close to Zena and Samuel.

" But Zaka, would you like to go home too?" Zena asked back.

" yes. Who is this, your boyfriend? Why don't you introduce me?" ask Zaka.

" Include this Samuel" said Zena.

Samuel stretched out his hand which Zaka immediately greeted.

" Samuel."

" Zaka."

" Zena's superior?" ask Samuel.

" Right, please continue I have to go home first," said Zaka held back jealousy and anger because Zena did not dispute if Samuel was his girlfriend at all.

Zena smiled with satisfaction in her heart looking at Zaka who looked jealous and angry.

" This is not how much Zaka is" said Zena in his heart.

" Zena, your boss is paying too much attention to you. Does she like you?!" ask Samuel.

" no. Don't mind it in it. This is not working hours. We better go ahead as planned. I'm hungry" Zena answered, asking Samuel a question.

Samuel just nodded slowly and they immediately went on Samuel's car ride.

They ate at a simple restaurant. And when Samuel went to the toilet, his phone rang and Zena saw his caller Sinta. There was a curiosity in Zena's heart.

" Samuel, your phone rang from earlier, just pick it up first" Zena said as Samuel's phone rang back.

" All right, I'll go pick up the phone first, okay?" samuel said after seeing his caller, Sinta.

Zena follows silently to listen to Samuel-and Sinta's conversation.

" Hello Sinta, what did you call me?" ask Samuel.

" How was the task I gave you to approach Zena?" ask Sinta.

" You just calm down. Zena is in my grasp. Now I am eating with him" replied Samuel.

" Make sure Zena will fall in love with you" Sinta said.

" You take it easy baby, Zena will definitely not be your hindrance" Samuel said with a smile." Your job I'll do well."

Zena was shocked by Samuel's conversation with Sinta. So Samuel was Sinta's man. So this time Zena and Samuel used each other.

Samuel approaches Zena to keep her away from Zaka while Zena uses Samuel to make Zaka jealous.

Sinta really made Zena angry. One day Zena will definitely make Sinta regret having underestimated him.
