Risa is not Zeline
Chapter 75

"Darling!"

Risa immediately turned her gaze and looked towards Zhen who was already beside her.

"Hmm," Risa replied smiling then immediately sat down on Zhen's tail after taking off the suit and draping it on Risa's shoulder.

"Oh so this is your excuse?"

Risa turned her head back to her left, until she forgot that there was someone else she knew was nearby.

Not only Risa, Zhen also took a look at the person who had voiced, he saw that person from a distance was staring at his lover with a view that was difficult to interpret. Hence Zhen hurriedly approached Risa after ordering her food.

"You mean?"

"This is why you rejected me."

Zhen was silent, wanting to listen first to what that person and his lover were talking about.

"I really don't understand what you're talking about?"

Risa saw the man rise from his seat and was watching Zhen, scanning his lover from top to bottom.

"It looks like he's not an ordinary person" the man said as he looked at the circular watch on Zhen's wrist. Then his gaze turned to Zhen's clothes as well as the suit that was now draped on Risa's shoulder, and lastly the man's gaze was fixed on Zhen's phone lying on the table.

"Here he is a rich man, is he richer than me? Is that why you prefer him? It's true what Mom said. I didn't believe it, I kept convincing my mom. But…"

Risa then looked around where almost everyone who was there looked at her while whispering.

"Honey," Zhen held onto both of Risa's shoulders.

But Risa put him away slowly and got up from her seat. He grabbed the glass of water that was still half the property of the previous buyer and with a quick movement.

Byur

"Risa what the fuck," angered the man for feeling humiliated by the girl he liked.

The man rubbed his face rough then looked sharply at Risa.

"We're talking somewhere else" Risa said and left immediately. 

Zhen immediately caught up with him as well as the man.

Risa continued to step, until in a quiet place, Risa stopped. He turned around and stared intently at the man who looked so angry at him.

"Can't do it…"

"Can't, brother will accompany you here," cut Zhen quickly, he could already guess what Risa was going to say.

Hearing Zhen's irrefutable remark, Risa also now sighed.

"What do you mean you talk like that?"

"Is he really your girlfriend?"

"Yes, so explain what you mean?"

"What's less clear? You keep rejecting me, I guess because you don't want to date and I appreciate that, but it turns out.." the man looked at Zhen.

Zhen who did not accept looked back at him. Even Zhen pulled Risa to stand behind him. 

"I rejected you, because I don't like you Adnan."

"Why? What is less than me? I know all about you, and he is..Is it because he's richer?"

"You mean?"

Plaques

Zhen looked at his hand that was just floating in the air, then looked at Adnan who was holding his cheek.

It wasn't Zhen who did that, but Risa. Risa looks very angry, her breath up and down indeterminate, her hands clenched tightly. His face was reddened by the anger that he could no longer hold back from hearing Adnan's words.

"You said that I was silent, because I knew he didn't know me very well, I pretended not to know, that's why I always tried to avoid you. I don't want our closeness to justify the thought of your mama who she knows where to hear from. But Adnan.I really don't think if you also think I'm that kind of person, you know me how, we've known for quite a long time, but.." Risa looked at Adnan disappointed, but, he thought Adnan would be different from his mother. But it turns out everything is the same.

"I.." Risa stopped her saying, she then just left. It feels useless, why explain if other people already think badly about it. Most importantly Risa is not that kind of person.

Zhen stared intently at Adnan, nudged the man's shoulder and stepped away.

"Take him off now or you'll be sorry, after what I said really happened."

Zhen's move stopped.

"I won't regret it, and let go of him you said? I will not let go of what I have fought for, I will not abandon the man who has brought me out of the dark, the man who means so much to me. It is precisely you who will regret having said so, something that is not necessarily true. You will regret that you lost the trust of people close to you because you actually believe in nonsense that you have not found out first all the facts."

"Omong empty? My own mother told me, there's no way my mother could speak without knowing the truth. There's no way mom would lie to her own son."

"It could be, if indeed your mother does not like Risa." 

Zhen then turned around, walking closer to Adnan, "Don't you say yourself, that at first you don't believe in your mother's words, which means you are indeed doubting your own mother's words," whispered later.

Zhen then put both hands in his pants pocket then turned around and this time he actually left, following Risa who he had just seen walking towards his car.

Zhen unlocked the car from a distance, so that Risa could enter first. He sped up and got in his car.

When he entered, Zhen saw Risa who closed her eyes, and he drove his car.

Risa opened her eyes when she felt the car had stopped. Seen around, a park that is quite crowded with many traders around. 

"Let's get off!" Take Zhen who has already opened the door for Risa.

"What's the matter…"

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's eat first. Comeondown!" 

Risa also complied, she then went down, which was immediately greeted with Zhen's hand.

Risa looked up at Zhen who was now looking down at her with a smile.

"Come on!" 

The two walked together, no one spoke. Risa was busy with her own thoughts, while Zhen only let her lover, understanding if possible Risa wanted to be quiet to calm her heart and mind.

"We're sitting there!" Said Zhen pointing at a chair that was quite far away from the crowd.

Risa simply nodded and followed Zhen's steps.

"You sit here!" Zhen led Risa to sit down. Justifying his suit that was still draped on Risa's shoulder.

"Again there, don't go anywhere" Zhen recalled before the man left. Before long, Zhen returned with food and drinks.

Zhen sat down and opened his luggage and gave it to Risa.

"Still bang," Risa then leaned her head on Zhen's shoulder.

Zhen rubbing Risa's head made the girl feel comfortable until she closed her eyes, feeling her lover's gentle touch.

"No one wants to ask?" Risa asked without opening her eyes. Looking up at Zhen who for some reason every second had his heart pounding waiting for the word to come out of the mouth of the man he loved.
