Sun Princess & Snow Prince
Episode 27 - The Cold War (Regret)

~ Love it comes silently, regret comes later ~

Without asking any more, Natasha picked up the pile of documents that Ave had grabbed and simply placed them on the table closest to her. Then he looked at the Eagle, "Take him down! Let me talk to Zaid."

The eagle simply nodded before embracing Ave towards the elevator.

With graceful steps, Natasha came to Zaid. The look on his face was clearly furious. Yet hidden behind a thin smile full of meaning. Without caring for all who were paying attention to him, he stared at Zaid.

"Gue take Ave first," he hissed before turning around and leaving without waiting for Zaid's reply.

Zaid could only look in silence. He did not expect his actions to backfire. If Ave gets that sad, it means that the girl really doesn't like him. Natasha is also involved. Natasha must know about them. Obviously his best friend also did not accept Ave to be like that. This is not what Zaid expected.

He just fell in love. He just followed his own feelings once more. He followed her instincts that she had painstakingly hidden for the past few weeks. Whose heart is able to endure facing a girl as beautiful as Ave at all times? But Zaid did not expect, liking the girl was a mistake.

He made almost the same mistake. Follow his heart. However, his entire world is destroyed in an instant, including his friendship with Ajie. Now it's happening again. Whether Natasha will forgive him or not, but seeing the tears streaming down Ave's face, Zaid feels like he's a real bad man.

Zaid now understood, all this time Ave was just playing around. She basically likes to joke and play. The age difference makes Zaid forget to take that into account before. The girl thought of him as the same as the others. Now it's all happening.

"Sir?" Jenny looked at Zaid in wonder. The girl gave the code to the guests who had now walked into the elevator. "Our meeting... "

"Come on!" cut off Zaid before Jenny finished talking, taking a quick step, followed by Jenny carrying a stack of documents.

The guests had already boarded, so Zaid and Jenny stayed in the next elevator. After thinking, Zaid only had one way at the moment.

"Jen, book a flight to KL as soon as possible. If you can tonight, too," said Zaid flatly.

Jenny looked surprised. "Eh but tomorrow... "

"Re-schedule all, who can't let Hazmi handle it. I want to see my sister, "cut Zaid again while putting his hand in his pants pocket and exhaling a long breath. "Must," he continued with glaring eyes.

Looking at the grim look on the boss's face, Jenny could feel that something was happening. It might have something to do with Ave or... Natasha's. I don't know. Jenny had been working with Zaid for a long time, but only this time she saw Zaid look different in the presence of the two girls. Jenny can't do anything. Inevitably tonight he had to overtime again, arranging everything so as not to fall apart when the boss left.

"But tell everyone that I have work outside. Don't tell anyone I'm home. Especially at Ave."

'aha's gaze! Right ya!' it was clearly visible in Jenny's eyes. But he just nodded. Now he is sure, the tip of the problem is Ave.

"From tomorrow, Ave will move to Creative. After the meeting, I will go to Mr. Bambang to explain everything" said Zaid. After all, he had long told about the proposal to Bambang, the manager in the Creative department.

This time Jenny could not hide the astonishment on her face. "But.... But... Isn't that Ave hasn't been an intern for 3 months?"

This time Zaid looked. "Just do! It's only temporary."

It was silent for a moment, before it sounded like 'Ding!'. They're out together.

"Sir... " Doubtful, Jenny's legs stopped stepping. Zaid. "You once told me to remind you that you might make the wrong decision."

Zaid only nodded small. Sure oes. That's one of his secretarial duties. For Zaid, the secretary was a co-worker who had a common interest in him. They should support each other. His opinion should be appreciated.

This is one of the reasons Zaid accepted Jenny first. The girl was a brave figure who was firm, yet smart and deft. His simple appearance was nothing compared to his ability to read Zaid's reactions and desires. Many times Jenny and herself proved themselves as a compact co-worker couple. Rather than considering him his subordinate, Zaid considered him a better friend.

"May I remind you this time, sir?" ask Jenny slowly. Back the small nods that were visible.

Puffing her chest slightly, Jenny also raised her head. He wanted to look serious in order to convince Zaid. "Don't involve personal feelings for the benefit of the company, sir. This company is only a small company, but there are many people who depend on your decision. Me, Hazmi and all the employees here wish you saw greater importance for all those decisions."

"I know Ave is not an old employee. He also has no special abilities. But if getting rid of him because of personal problems and indirectly asking him to do something that is not his expertise, I think it's a little excessive and just force him to resign subtly."

"So you doubt my decision?" his Zaid is full of meaning.

Jenny lowered. He can't lie. He doubted Zayd's decision this time. Ave is a good and diligent girl, regardless of her work that is sometimes wrong or lacking, Jenny likes her new friend. The only girl who works in the same department as him. Even from the entire department, only Ave was nice to talk to and humorous. The girl who also doesn't care about looks. Comfort is more important. That's why the tomboyish Jenny felt like she had friends.

Zaid sighed. "I admit, me and Ave have a personal issue. But, her move to Creative was planned for a few days ago, Jen. I wouldn't move someone to a department I rely on in this company if I didn't consider his abilities."

Before he turned around, Zaid continued. "Or put it this way, you can tell Ave that if he can't finish his job, he can go back to Management. Now you agree?"

A smile began to crack on Jenny's face, before she nodded. Only Zaid looked more and more moody. He did not like the girl alone. Even Jenny who was a little anti-social just dared to defend Ave. Maybe this is the best.

Without saying any more, the two walked together towards the meeting room.

While in the basement, Elang and Natasha lead Ave to a large black car that is waiting. No one's making a sound. Only the sound of the feet walking. The sound of the cell phone kept ringing in the Eagle's shirt.

"You guys get in the car first, I answer the phone first, Nat," said Elang. Natasha just nodded.

The door of the van opened automatically, and as Ave looked up, Tiar and Lily looked at him. His lips instantly curved down, wanting to cry again. This time however, Natasha hurriedly pushed him in.

"What's really going on, Ve? We were surprised to see your deleted message. This is Mas Ajie no more. Papa too. Who did you kiss? She maksa? He's harassing you?" lily while fixing her seat. His movements seemed slow, offsetting his growing belly.

Tiar stroking Ave's hair. "Tells to us, Ve. Let's help you. Don't keep it to yourself!"

"Lagian Ve, you work for your dreams. Not for harassment. Anyone who does this cannot make it. If you don't like it, we'll all help. A kiss, or even just holding your hand, it can't be if you don't want. Go, Ve! Fear not! Don't be quiet!" urgently Natasha who has also come in.

Ave's tears are falling again. They all misunderstood. He shook his head.

"Not that... Not that. " complained Ave sad.

Three pairs of eyes looked at him confusedly. So what makes Ave cry so sad?

With shoulders up and down, shaking with sadness, Ave answered the question in the minds of her three best friends.

"Ave nyesel nolak Mr. Zaid. Ave nyakin' him! Ave really badass!" raung Ave took out his entire restrained heart.

Lily peeking.

Tiar's mouth is gaping.

Natasha's body was stiff in her seat.

This is not what they had expected before.

When the steering wheel door opened, the Eagle went inside and looked back. "So who wants to get beat up now, Mothers?"

All the gazes of the passengers moved on the Eagle and answered compactly. "Out!"
