So Stepmom Son Ceo
Chapter 2 - The Meeting

In one of the restaurants in the capital, there was a woman who was busy recording the orders of her customers.

“I want Kofte and Dolma, also for dessert I want Knefe, and don't forget the tea.”

The woman who recorded the order nodded, she smiled kindly to end the conversation. “Good, Sir. We will bring your order soon.”

Yes, it is Shazia. The woman with hazel-brown eyes that were mingled with her wave-black hair seemed to be accelerating her steps towards the kitchen.

At that time the kitchen seemed busy with chefs who were making orders for customers.

“Aynur, new order from table 14!”

“Ya, order will be made soon!” aynur replied quickly, staring at the piece of paper that Shazia had just placed on the wall.

Shazia nodded at his trusted friend, he came back out with a small piece of paper and pen in his arm, taking note of new orders from customers.

Yes, that's how Shazia's days at his restaurant, filled with busy things about restaurants, no holidays, which he thinks about working and working.

But this time there was something different, when the day had come late in the afternoon, as usual Shazia closed his restaurant. All the tables and kitchens have been cleaned, just to turn the city of Open into Closed.

As Shazia was standing in the doorway, her gaze shifted to a boy standing quietly in front of the restaurant.

Don't know why? When he saw it, Shazia seemed to bewitched to come to the child immediately.

‘That child, why does it feel familiar?’ Shaziah.

Shazia crouched down before him, which suddenly made the boy look up at Shazia, his shining blue eyes seemed to wonder at the presence of Shazia in front of him.

“Hey, son, why are you here alone? Are you lost?” ask Shazia

The boy looked at Zara with a puzzled expression, but before long his facial expression turned clear, “Yes, Auntie, I am lost, can you help me?”

“I'm also very hungry, and I'm afraid to be alone here. I don't know where to go home?”

“Oh, baby, don't worry, aunt will help you, you have nothing to fear. Come on, now come in with aunt.”

There was a satisfied smile on the boy's face. Shazia immediately stood up, holding the child's arm and taking him into the restaurant.

Inside the restaurant, Shazia and the boy were sitting at one of the tables, Aynur who had just come out of the kitchen immediately came to the two.

“Shazia, who's this kid you brought?” ask Aynur

“She got lost, Aynur, I brought her in because the weather outside is quite cold”

“Oh, so you're lost, huh? No papa, don't worry, Shazia's aunt and I will take care of you here,” Aynur said as he squatted in front of her.

Zihan nodded, “Iya, Aunty.”

“Oh, yes, aunty doesn't know what your name is yet? Can you tell aunt?”

“My name is Zihan, Aunty,” reply the boy with his plain face and his potent voice.

“Yes Allah, how sweet is this boy Shazia!” praise Aynur

Shazia smiled at Aynur's behavior. “You have the same thoughts as me, Aynur,” Shazia replied

“Zihan, are you reporting?” ask Shazia later

“Yes, Aunty. I'm so hungry.”

“Yes, then what do you want to eat? aunt will prepare it for you.”

“I'm confused, Auntie, I don't know what to eat?”

“You are confused, take a look at this menu list,” reply Shazia while taking the menu list on the table.

The boy looked at the menu list, before a while he stared fixedly at Shazia.

“Auntie, can I get everything? I want to eat all the menus that are here,” he said with a clear face.

Seeing her blissful face make Shazia melt, she was powerless to refuse the request of the boy.

“Oh, yes, sure can, you can get all the food on that menu, dear.”

Those eyes seemed to light up drawing excitement, “Really! Thank you, Aunty!”

Shazia smiled nodding, “Aynur, please make—“

“No, Bi, I want Aunt who put it up for me,” said Zihan who quickly cut out Shazia's words.

“You want the aunt who cooked it for you?”

Zihan nodded.

“Alright, aunt will put it up for you. But, you must sit still and wait here”

Zihan nodded, he began to sit sweetly in his chair.

Shazia went to the kitchen, he started wearing an apron and grasping the knife in his hand, preparing to cook the desired menu. But when he opened the refrigerator, his spirit disappeared.

“How are you getting senile, Shazia!” grunts to himself

Shazia goes back to see Zihan, to the boy she tells him what happened.

“Unfortunately, aunty can't make all the menus you want, Zihan. Aunty can only make two meals from the rest of the ingredients.”

“No papa, Aunty. I'll eat whatever Auntie cooks for me,” reply Zihan with her potent voice.

“True, would you not if auntie cooked you a simple meal?” shazia asked to convince Zihan

Zihan nodded several times, “No papa, Aunty.”

Hearing her distinctive style of speech, made Shazia's heart melt.

'Why is there such a sweet child, I feel like hugging and kissing her cheek!' Shaziah.

Shazia smiled, pinched Zihan's cheek and returned to the kitchen. In just half an hour, Shazia had finished serving her dishes on the table.

He prepared the cutlery for himself and Zihan. Before long, Aynur came back with cleaning equipment.

He began to sweep and mop the floor, while waiting for Shazia who was eating with Zihan.

“Aynur, let's eat together,” take Shazia.

“No, Shazia. You alone, I'm full, ” reply Aynur while turning on the television.

“Yes, Alright, if you don't want to eat,” Shazia replied.

“Zihan, why silence? You don't want to eat your food?” shazia asked who saw Zihan speechless staring at the food before her.

Zihan hurriedly scooped the dishes onto the plate, with the force of him bribing the food into his mouth. His eyes opened wide staring at Shazia

“Zihan, why? Is the food bad?” shazia asked again when she saw that Zihan was silent again

“No, Bi, i-it's very tasty!” reply Zihan who is now eating voraciously.

“Thank God if you like it, Zihan.”

As the two eat quietly, Aynur's television channel is seen interviewing the richest businessman in town. Aynur who saw it, seemed interested in it.

“Shazia, look at him handsome once, yes.”

“A rich, handsome, and authoritative businessman, he's a complete package, Shazia.”

Shazia never responded to Aynur's words let alone turn his head, he continued his eating ritual with pleasure.

“There must be a lot of people who want to marry him even though he has had children.”

“Ah, I hope someday to meet him!”

Shazia laughs, “Ha, ha, ha, Aynur, please don't dream too high. Where could such a person want to roam around here.”

Aynur stared cynically at Shazia, “You are instead of supporting your best friend and laugh at him. Who knows, his love story will be the same as a novel or movie!”

“And if you look around, he fits you perfectly, Shazia. I can't imagine how you'll marry her someday!”

Instantly Shazia coughed, “Aynur, that's right, don't fantasize that no-no!” shazia said, turning off the television.

“Shazia why did you turn off the television? Didn't you see that interesting news?”

“Aynur don't you want to get your work done early? Then why are you wasting your time watching?”

“Well, you're late Shazia. I'm done with my work” reply Aynur relaxed while reassembling his hygiene equipment.

Seen a look of annoyance on Shazia's face, he immediately turned his face away from Aynur.

“Zihan, don't mind, yes. You just finish your food” said Shazia who saw Zihan staring long at him.

Zihan nodded, he started scooping food into his mouth again.

After eating, Shazia brought the dirty dishes back to the kitchen. Then go back to meet Zihan who was still sitting sweetly in his place.

“Zihan, did you save your parents' second number, baby?”

“Yes, Aunty, the number is this book, can auntie call her for me?” Shazia receives the book that Zihan gave her.

“Aunt will call your parents, you don't worry,” reply Shazia who saw Zihan's panicked face.

Shazia easily got Zihan's parents' number, so she immediately typed the number and contacted him. Quickly the phone was connected, the voice of a man was heard replying.

“Halo, good afternoon, am I really talking to Zihan's parents?”

“Yes, I'm her father”

“So my master would like to tell you, that now your son has my restaurant, can you pick him up here?”

“Where is your restaurant located?”

“Ya, sir, I will send you my restaurant location for you.”

The phone connection was cut off, there was a sense of annoyance in Shazia's heart hearing every answer from Zihan's parents. He hurriedly sent his address.

You have to be patient Shazia, everyone has a different nature, you have to be calm. Shaziah.

“Zihan, aunty has called your father, he will be here soon, so you have nothing to fear.”

“Auntie, what if dad is mad at me, I'm afraid if he's angry aunt.”

“Darling, aunt has told you, don't be afraid. Aunt promised if your father wouldn't get angry.”

“Aunt promise?”

“Ya, aunty promised, dear.”

...****************...

“Zihan, your father called aunty, he's up.”

“Actually aunt?”

“Yes, come on, let auntie take you.”

Zihan nodded, he immediately stood up and put his bag back on. The two walked together to the back of the restaurant, on the quiet street that had been waiting for a man.

The stranger man was Taran, he looked busy with his cell phone. But, when he saw Shazia and Zihan approaching, the face that had been silent without expression now turned cynical, looking haughty at Shazia's figure.

“O, so you!”

“Yes, I ing__”

Shazia scrunched her forehead, she looked puzzled by Taran's words.

“It seems that these lowly women like you have a new mode.”

“Don't make fun of it as if you really helped her!”

“How much money do you want? You kidnapped my son for money, didn't you?” tanya Taran while taking the wallet out of her pocket and taking out all the money in it.

“This, take. this is more than enough than you want, no!” he said while giving the money to Shazia.

Although Taran said a lot of words, Shazia did not respond at all. He even crouched down in front of Zihan and smiled.

“Look, Zihan, your father is not mad at you at all, is he?”

Zihan nodded with what Shazia said.

“Well, then you get in the car, auntie wants to talk to your father.”

“What do you want to say? What money did I give it less?”

Shazia remained silent with an expression that still maintained a smile. He waved his hand at Zihan who entered his father's black car.

The moment Zihan had entered the car, Shazia immediately stood up, her expression now turning cynical. He walked closer to Taran.
