So Stepmom Son Ceo
Chapter 24 - The Matchmaking

The next day, Zihan, who had come home from school, went to Shazia's restaurant, where he helped the mother serve customers, wiped the tables and delivered dirty dishes to the kitchen.

When the restaurant was quiet, Zihan glanced at Shazia who was talking with Esra and Gona, when the eyes of the two met, Shazia who saw the gloomy face of Zihan immediately came over.

“What's up, Ha? Why does your son's face look sad?” shazia asked as she pulled up a chair and sat down near Zihan.

“Ma, I don't want to have a new mother,” reply Zihan with eyes that start watering.

Shazia frowned, “What does it mean with a new mother? Zihan has a mom,”

“Ma, that time I heard grandfather talking to papa, he said papa will be betrothed,”

Unknowingly Shazia shouted, making many pairs of eyes look towards her “What!”

“Ah, forgive me, Esra, Gona, Aunt Ceyda, please just continue your work,” Shazia said as she watched the three glancing at her.

If Mr. Taran is to be betrothed, will what I fear come true? I'm not willing to call someone else Mama I don't want her out of my life. Shaziah.

“Mama, what if papa agrees to get married, am I going to be dumped, mama? I'm afraid that the one you marry is just chasing after his property,” explained Zihan as he wiped away the tears that flowed down his cheeks.

Shazia pulled Zihan and hugged him, “Let's love, there's a mama here, your papa won't throw you away and mama's sure your papa will definitely find the best to be your mother, baby, baby,” reply Shazia while stroking Zihan's back.

“Mama I don't want to, mama is the best for me.” reply Zihan while hugging Shazia.

“No papa, dear, mama will always be with you.”

Upon Zihan's return from the restaurant, Shazia who was still standing in the doorway looked blankly at the direction of the street.

“What's Shazia? Why are you still standing here? Zihan has been home a long time.”

“I, a-I am I a selfish person, Aynur?”

“What do you mean Shazia?”

“Am I selfish if I want Zihan as my son? Would I be selfish if I didn't want her to call someone else mama?”

“Shazia why did you suddenly say that?”

Shazia looked at Aynur “Aynur, lord Taran will be betrothed, if he accepts it then my guess becomes Aynur's reality, Zihan might not come back here again, let alone call me mama.”

“I'm not willing, Aynur, I'm not willing. Zihan has entered into my life I don't want to lose him.”

“It's been quiet Shazia why now even you are like a child? Shazia don't worry, Zihan he loves you so much he can't easily forget you like that.”

“Why is everything so weird, daddy issues, matchmaking you meet tomorrow, and now Zihan, how do I solve this?”

“Shazia calm yourself, throw away your bad thoughts and let's talk inside.”

The promised day arrived, it was seen that Taran had been wearing a neat suit as usual. He left after finishing the office.

When the man was busy compiling the file, someone came to open the door of his room, which suddenly caused Taran's attention to be distracted.

“Zihan, who are you here with?” tanya Taran when he saw the figure of his son.

“Papa, I took public transport,” reply Zihan.

“What made you come to Zihan's office?”

Zihan was silent for a moment, “That time I heard papa's conversation with grandfather about matchmaking, and he said today papa will meet him, can I come?” ask Zihan.

Taran looked at the expectant face of his son and then nodded in agreement.

“We'll leave after dad compiles the file, sit down Zihan.”

On the other hand Shazia was also preparing to come to the promised place, but for some reason from the morning she felt so arrogant about this matchmaking, he purposely dressed up his menor and wore light-colored clothes.

Aynur who saw Shazia coming down from the top straight with such an appearance was unceasingly laughing. “Ha, ha, what the hell is this look of yours? Why is your lipstick so red, Ha?”

“This is called Aynur style, my special style must make him very fascinated,” Shazia reply confidently comforted his regret.

“You sure you will go with such an appearance, Shazia?”

“Of course Aynur, what do you think I'd dress up for hours if it didn't go?”

“Aren't you ashamed if people stare at you?”

“I don't care, as long as I can derail the matchmaking then I will.”

“Good to laugh as you please,” reply Shazia who then say goodbye to all his employees.

At the star-studded restaurant, Taran and Zihan had arrived first, both of them waiting at the table that Derya had ordered.

“Papa till when should we wait? I've finished the appetizer, can I order the main meal first?”

“Yes, order the food you want,” reply Taran while calling one of the waitresses there.

Suddenly Taran's phone rang, Aslan was the name on his phone. The man immediately picked up the phone.

“Zihan order your food, dad leave for a minute.” Get out of his chair and go out.

“Yes, papa,” reply Zihan who saw the father go outside the restaurant.

“Uncle I want to order this food and this drink,” said Zihan while pointing at the picture in the menu book on the waitress.

“Good, sweet boy, your order will be made soon.”

After the departure of the waitress, Zihan could only wait boredly, occasionally knocking on the table with his hands.

“Aih, where's the table?”

“The old man why only give information half-and-half?” his gerrick.

The voice of someone who was very familiar to Zihan, made the child turn towards the source of the voice, how happy he was when he found out the figure.

Sihan immediately called the figure. “Mama!”

“Mama is here,” Call Zihan again.

Making the figure turn his head, knowing that the one who called him was Zihan, Shazia immediately came over.

It was then that Zihan laughed off seeing Shazia's makeup. “Mama why use deep purple on the cheeks and over the eyes of mama, and again the lips mama red once, ha, ha.”

“Zihan this latest style mom, how beautiful is not?” shazia asked in a joking tone.

“Mama, no matter what your makeup is, you always look beautiful to me.”

Shazia smiled, “Oh, yes, Zihan, why can your son be in this restaurant?”

“Mama, I accompanied papa to meet the person he would be betrothed to.”

“Oh, so the meeting is planned today, huh? Has Zihan met the guy?” shazia asked with a face that didn't like to know the purpose of Zihan being in the restaurant.

Will Zihan forget me? I really don't want her to call someone else a mama. Shaziah.

“Not yet mom, we are still waiting for her she has not come.”

“Oh, yes, own mama, why is it here?” ask Zihan.

“Mama wants to meet someone, but mama can't find her desk.”

“Truely, what is the number of mama's desk? Maybe I can help.”

“Number 7, but mom didn't find her desk at all.”

“Mama, number 7 is my desk and papa, look,” reply Zihan while pointing at the number covered by his arm.

As soon as Shazia froze, her face paled and she felt her tongue twitching to get the words out.

“Zi-zihan can mama ask you? Wh-whose full name is your grandfather, dear.”

“Grandfather's name, Derya Selim Savas, Mama,” Reply Zihan with a face full of question marks on Shazia.

At the same time Taran had returned, when he saw the figure standing in front of his son he immediately came over.

“Zihan, has he come?” tanya Taran was almost at her desk.

But Zihan did not answer, he looked at the father with a questionable face. Taran stopped just behind Shazia.

“Good day, what—”

Having not had time to finish his words, Taran was made flabbergasted when the figure of the woman who was behind him turned around.

“You!”
