Pursuing the Whole Love
Chapters. 42. Engagement in Childhood.

Calvin and Rere jumped in shock upon hearing what Zaydan said, while the man had already returned to his seat.

"In-he's Zanna's uncle? What, did that woman go back to her family?" Calvin began to feel panicked and anxious.

"Now come out, I don't want to talk to you anymore" Zaydan pushed away, pointing to the door.

"Wait a minute, sir. Somebody wants me-"

"Get out!" zaydan snapped making everyone jump in shock. He glanced at the CEO and his secretary as if telling them to drag Calvin and Rere out of the room.

"Get you out!"

"Wait a minute, sir. There's something I want to talk to Mr. Zaydan about, "pinta Calvin, he has to make it clear who that man really is.

"Shut up, You! Don't keep testing my patience." They forced Calvin and Rere out of the room.

Brakes.

Calvin and Rere were staring at their place with what was happening, while the other employees who were in the place were looking back at them.

"Now what shall we do, my dear? Should we beg on the street?" rere asked sobbing, he did not expect to be fired or put down his job like this.

Calvin himself was still silent with his mind focused on what Zaydan had said earlier. "I have to go back immediately to check on Zanna, is she really gone or not?" He must return to his hometown to see Zanna.

"Mas!" Rere shook Calvin's arm making the man flinch in shock.

"What are you doing?" Calvin immediately brushed off Rere's hand which was on his arm, he was annoyed that the woman had shocked him.

"What should we do now? Do we have to work on cleaning up this company, huh?" Rere again asked making Calvin's head immediately throbbing pain.

"Here you go, you don't have to worry. I can get a better job than this" Calvin said, asking Rere to return home, and he had to get ready to meet Zanna.

Meanwhile, elsewhere Zanna is finished accompanying Venzo to a meal. They then sat on the beach right under a shady coconut tree.

"So, um... Who are you really?" zanna asked open the chat after a moment of silence in that place.

Zavier, who was still there, was monitoring from another place not far from them, while waiting for Zaron's grandfather's arrival.

"I-" Venzo paused his words at the loss of telling the woman or not, but he would no longer lose Zanna if he did not say so.

"Me?" Zanna looked at the man sharply and questioningly.

"I'm your fiancee,"

"What?" Zanna was shocked to make Venzo jumped in shock, as well as Zavier who seemed very curious why his brother could be surprised like that. "Are you kidding me?" He really doesn't believe.

Venzo shook his head. "What am I kidding for? The week before you disappeared, we were engaged." He looked at Zanna with a faint smile.

"Wait, before I disappear? Wasn't I 12 at the time?" Zanna felt something wasn't right here.

"W-how did that happen? Wasn't I a kid, to be engaged to someone?"

Venzo smiled at Zanna's question making the woman even more confused. "Of course we maish are a dozen years old. You're 12, and I'm 15. But we are really engaged. Just ask your grandfather."

Zanna was silent at Venzo's words. If what the man said was true, why did they have to get engaged at such a young age? "Isn't this a violation of human rights? Why did they let it happen?"

Zanna's daydream was forced to stop when she heard what Venzo said. "I'm sorry I really don't remember, and I need time to think about all this." He tried to smile sweetly.

"alright. I don't really care if you remember me or not, the important thing is that you're here now. And you're by my side."

Zanna smiled in response to Venzo's words. It was fortunate that the man was so handsome, that was why he could still hold back.

"Wait, if it's true that she was my fiancee in the past. Is it still happening now? Then, what about my son?" He rubbed his stomach which began to feel bloated.

"Look, looks like we can't continue our engagement just yet,"

"Why? Is there something you don't like? Am I not handsome anymore? What-"

"Bu-not." Zanna shook her hand in panic. "You're so handsome, I've never even seen a man as handsome as you on this earth."

"really?"

Zanna immediately nodded her head because what she said was reality.

"Then why don't you want to? Do you want to marry me right away? I'll get it ready soon."

Zanna was eager to stuff Venzo's mouth that had been talking since, and not allowing him to answer what the man was asking.

"Listen, I don't want to continue the engagement not because of any of it, but because-"

"Girla!"

Zanna could not continue her words when she heard the voice of someone calling, she immediately looked back. Likewise with Venzo who immediately put on his cold face.

"Grandfather?" Zanna wakes up to see Zaron's grandfather, while Venzo is still in his seat. "What is Grandpa doing here?"

Grandpa Zaron glanced at Venzo at a glance, then looked back at Zanna. "Grandfather was just passing by, then grandfather called Zavier and asked where you were. That's why grandpa came here."

Zanna nodded her head, while Venzo smiled cynically knowing that the old man was lying.

"I didn't expect you to be here either, Mr. Venzo," Zaron's grandfather said, making Venzo move from his seat.

"Of course I should be here, shouldn't I go see my future wife?"

Glug.

Zaron's grandfather swallowed his saliva violently, while Zanna looked at the man in disbelief.

"Did she tell Ella about their engagement?"
