Sun Princess & Snow Prince
Episode 62 - The Best Friends

~ Because they know my bad side too much (Zaid, Natasha, Hazmi) ~

Natasha really doesn't understand Zaid. The man made a very stupid decision. How could Zaid think of getting himself replaced by that arrogant, arrogant girl named Maya?

It's true, Maya also holds an exclusive contract with The Crown Models, but everyone knows Maya always produces problems for Zaid. Many times the girl almost foils the contract just because of her selfish nature.

Not because Natasha feels more capable, but Natasha wants to help her best friend overcome company problems or at least avoid problems. After all, The Crown is a part of Natasha as well.

"Sir Zaid is there?" natasha asked as soon as she was in front of Jenny.

Jenny looked surprised at Natasha's presence and just nodded while pointing towards Zaid's study.

As Natasha moved to the entrance, Jenny glanced at the clock on the wall. It's still very early. That beautiful model must have been heading to this office as soon as she woke up this morning. For someone who doesn't like to wake up early like Natasha, this problem must not be light for him. As Jenny guessed, Natasha must have wanted to know the reason Zaid pulled her back.

Inside Hazmi's face was also visibly disappointed. He did not understand why Zaid had to sacrifice so far. They have been friends since they were in Junior High. During that time Hazmi had seen Zaid in various ups and downs of his life. But just the time Hazmi felt Zaid was losing his mind.

"Lu loose 30% of your shares so, Id? Don't you love all your work all this time?" ask Hazmi without using any more formal language.

Zaid, who was reading the document in front of him, was silent.

"Sister Zahra called me last night. He's surprised you signed that contract. He asked me for what you need that kind of money for. I didn't say anything but for me your way is not right either" complained Hazmi.

Zaid raised his face. "Lu know what I need that kind of money for."

"Okay, I know and I don't dare tell Zahra. But for Ave, you sacrificed too much, Id. Ave may be innocent, but he's not stupid. He will also surely regret this way of yours. He certainly doesn't agree."

Zaid grunting. "Gue needs something to be able to stand in front of Ajie, Hazmi."

"What do you mean, Zaid? Does this have anything to do with me having to go back?" natasha asked as she opened the door of Zaid's study. He had heard everything since Hazmi asked earlier and Ajie's name made him curious.

Zaid. Staring at Natasha with sorry eyes. "Sit, Nat. Let me explain everything."

Natasha could only sigh. He finds out from Lily and Tiar that Zaid and Avelia are dating. But he didn't understand what was going on overall. The eagle didn't help him either. Last night he was too tired when the Eagle picked him up at the airport, they didn't talk about Zaid at all.

"Hazmi, do you know how many shares this company has?"

Hazmi looked at Zaid before replying helplessly, "10% Brother Zahra, now your 60% stake is already divided between you 30% and Eagle 30%. Natasha 10℅, Ricky and I total 10%. The rest is public."

Natasha's eyes glared at Zaid. "Buy your shares, Id? Make what?... Waitaminute! Don't tell me that's why you called me home?"

There's no answer. But the look on Hazmi's face answered Natasha's question. Zaid leaned his back against the sofa.

"You're crazy, Id! The Crown's working all four of us! Why did you sell that much to him?" natasha almost screamed. He really did not recognize this friend in front of him anymore.

Zaid smiled miris. "Your girlfriend, Nat. At least I'm sure he won't do anything to hurt you."

Natasha looked at Zaid without energy. Shaken head. "My relationship with the Eagle is not what people imagine, Zaid. He's younger than me. I am who everyone knows. Eagles have parents and families that are not my type. They don't want to accept me as his wife. Let alone them, I doubt myself. Where there's a rich family so willing to accept a woman like me. Artist, older and with a lot of embarrassing news history."

"Did the Eagle tell you why he did all this?" ask Zaid slowly. There was a smile on his lips but the look on his eyes looked sad.

Natasha fell silent. Slowly he shook his head. "I don't know, Zaid. But I don't want him to rule my life because of that stock. I don't want to trouble him. I went to Japan on purpose, to wake her up if we didn't fit in."

Hazmi secretly admires Natasha's wishes. For the first time he saw helplessness in the eyes of his best friend. He had seen how Natasha behaved to all the men who were chasing the girl's love. But after Ajie, only this time did he see love in Natasha's eyes again. A different kind of love. Far from being selfish to have, there is only love that gives up happiness even if it has to make itself tormented.

"Elang will be betrothed to Avelia. He doesn't want to. Avelia. Me moreover. But they couldn't say that because the Eagle didn't want his family's good relations and Ave's family to fall apart. I didn't explain the shares to Ave. But yesterday Ave invited Lily and Tiar to tell everything to the house. I think he knows it too, just hasn't explained it to me."

Natasha raised her hand. "Wait first! Don't tell me the house they're visiting is your house? You guys live at home?!"

Zaid did not answer, but again his eyes answered the question.

Slowly Natasha's tears flowed. His emotions were no longer in control. I was in almost the same situation as a few years ago. "I love you all. You're all my best friends. If you go back to how you used to be. Mutually hurt. Mutually destroy. I can what?" his whisper was sad while sitting languidly.

Zaid stood up and moved next to Natasha, embracing her shoulder. He let Natasha lean on his shoulder. Then he codes Hazmi to take another contract on his desk.

"Pacify yourself, Nat! I'll explain my plan and the Eagle's plan. I hope after that you will understand. I have to do this, not just for me and Ave or you and the Eagle. But this is also to fix everything. I'm sorry, Hazmi and Ricky are the same. Once you've calmed down, read this, "pinta Zaid. His hand took out the contract Hazmi presented.

Natasha wiped her tears away, then read the contract. Face lifted. There was a ray of hope in those beautiful eyes. "It... "

"I used everything I had to buy it. There's not much I can collect. But it will make at least. I can sit down with Ajie. As for the Eagle, I'm sure he's a good man. The eagle will not do anything that can make you depressed. From the beginning, I also did not agree that you signed a contract in Japan. Anyway, Nat... Love is not something I can control. If I could, I wouldn't want to fall for Ave either. But who can fight it?"

The silent atmosphere in the room was now no longer as dark as before.

"In addition to coughing, sneezing and farting, love cannot be held back either. Look Hazmi! Who would have thought that our playboy best friend would be crazy about Jenny never smiling?" zaid said as he glanced at Hazmi sitting in front of them. He tried to divert the tense atmosphere.

"Hey! Why am I being taken?!"

Between a bitter smile and a feeling of helplessness, Natasha muttered, "We once hated those rich children. Who would have thought our lives were in their hands now. Is this karma?"

Zaid laughing. He just shook his head. "Come, Nat. I tried to protect myself from Ave. But now, whatever I have is meaningless without him."

"Crazy you, Id. If Ave Denger this can be done you are done with him," said Hazmi with a laugh.

"He's been doing it every day, Mi. Surprisingly, I can't say no."

Hazmi laughed again. But the laugh looks suspicious. "Hmmm, now I know who to ask to raise my salary here. She is the real boss."

"Well, if you dare!" zaid pretended to be angry. But a second later, his laughter also broke apart.

Slowly Natasha's heart was much calmer. He didn't know if he could trust the Eagle. But Zaid and Hazmi are two best friends who have been with him for a long time. They are having a hard time and are happy together. Whatever happens, Natasha is sure her two best friends won't leave her. They build The Crown together, if they finally have to let go then they just need to build another Crown. Maybe it's hard, but isn't this what friendship really means? Struggling together, passing through the hard happy even together.

Natasha touched Zaid's arm. "If I may ask you, Zaid. Please whatever happens between you and Ajie, even if it means you have to give up, don't make Avelia sad. He just rose from his sadness. All of our problems might confuse him. Eagle told me, Avelia was depressed at the time."

"On that matter, don't worry, Nat," said Zaid nodded firmly. He has promised since knowing who Ave is, he can sacrifice himself, but will not let Avelia be sad.

"Thank you for being such a good friend to me, Id. I put you in this situation. If I hadn't brought Ave to you."

Zaid smiled. "I'm thankful for that, Nat. Very grateful. You changed a man's life so boring."

Natasha shudder. "Duh, come on, Id! Even the way you speak has changed greatly. Oh please, scary!* Are you really my best friend?"*

Zaid's laughter sounded again. "I will always your best friend, Nat. I know too much about you and you know too much about me. Ha ha ha!"

[I will always be your best friend. I know you very well and you know me too well]

"So, you're my best friend just because I know too much about your bad side?"

Zaid's eyes narrowed as he glanced at Natasha. "Isn't that your reason, Natasha?"

"So you both make me friends because... " Gumam Hazmi looked at the two.

"You know our bad side too much" Natasha and Zaid said.

[You know our bad side is too much]

Then the three men laughed together.
