The charm of Miss Zahra
episode sixteen

"It looks like I'm going to stay at home in this office" Demir said as he sat down and crossed his legs in Fatih's study.

"For?" ask Fatih while playing the phone. He sent a message of protest to Zahra.

"Miss Zahra, the charming lady who dares to tease my feelings from Olla."

"Dream it because you will never get it. Let alone you who are married, the man who was sitting in front of him was rejected. Obviously single man."

Demir rubbed his chin as if thinking. "Yes I know, but I'm sure I can conquer him. Let's just see."

Fatih no longer served Demir's words that would make himself more blood-soaked.

The time to go home has arrived, this time Zahra will not be overtime considering the pregnancy she is still vulnerable and needs extra care. As he exited the lobby he saw Demir still there and waved at him.

"Let's take you home." Demir opens the car door for Zahra, too confident that the woman will accept him.

Zahra gave no response, instead walking to the gate waiting for an online taxi that would take her to the station. A black luxury car stopped right in front of him. Zahra had thought that the one in the car was Fatih, but when she looked back she saw a new Fatih car coming out of the parking lot. He almost cursed the man who was lowering his car's glass.

"Are you Zahra's mother?' ask the man behind the wheel. "Let's come with me."

"You who? Why should I come with you?" Zahra was still standing at the place she was. Beware if this man will do evil.

"You choose to enter or people will know your secret." The man behind the wheel showed a picture of himself with Fatih in the religious affairs office.

There was no other choice but to follow the man's orders, the car drove towards the road to Bandung. Zahra wondered why the man had threatened and was now silent. Unanswered questions from him the car suddenly stopped when it had entered the toll. The same black car was blocking a car driven by a zahra. A man from the car and wearing a head covering cloth. Banging on the steering glass and asking to open the door.

"Don't go down, sir," stop Zahra when the man unlocks her and the man wearing the headgear goes into the middle cabin. Automatic Zahra trying to protect themselves. Zahra's kick hit the man's chest.

"Quiet, it's me." The man opened his headgear and it turned out that the person was Fatih.

Zahra immediately turned her face the other way. "Why didn't you get hit, sir, the car was." Zahra asked the driver.

"Zahra, I had to do this. I'm afraid Demir is following us and our secrets are exposed."

"You should know that you are afraid that this problem will be exposed. You don't have to follow me."

"Zahra .. I am your husband. Your safety is my responsibility. You can hate but do not ignore the dangers that not only attack you. Stop being a selfish woman." Fatih's sentence was like an order because for the first time Fatih was cold to Zahra.

He's tired of having to leave Zahra at his own pace. Occasionally Fatih had to use his power.

The car had arrived in front of Zahra's modest house. When he opened the door, there was a woman in the house who was tidying up his belongings.

"You're home, Mom? What do I want to make you drink?" ask the woman whose age is above Zahra. "Oh yeah sorry I forgot to introduce myself," the woman chuckled. "I'm Bi Sumi, asked to work here by Mr. Sam."

Zahra immediately turned to Fatih who looked indifferent. It's free to argue with people who are both stubborn. He simply nodded at Bi Sumi then entered the room.

The door of the room sounded knocked, making Zahra who was laying down to wake up.

"Sorry, Mom. I want to go home, tomorrow I will come back here," said Bi Sumi. "Oh yeah my house is in the village next door, not far from here."

Bi sumi did not stay overnight because in this house there are only two rooms.

Bi Sumi also said goodbye to Fatih who had been sitting in the living room.

After Bi Sumi left, Zahra returned to the room. Not reprimanding Fatih or offering to drink at all. It didn't matter to Fatih because all she knew was that women would be angry. He just needs to be patient and then apologize, love the money, and then it will be better. But this time he was a little pessimistic because the one who faced was a Zahra.

Seeing Zahra who did not go out of the room when it was eight o'clock at night made Fatih take the initiative to tell the driver to buy food. He himself felt hungry and in the kitchen there was no food available. The storage cabinet was empty with only two eggs and two instant noodles. Bi Sumi does not cook.

A brilliant idea came to Fatih's mind. While waiting for food to come he acted as if he was making food in the kitchen. Deliberately dropping a few things to lure Zahra out.

See the idea he succeeded. Zahra turned cold while folding her hands on her chest.

"Sorry, I'm hungry. So I decided to make some food" Fatih said, holding an egg and a knife. Appearing a guilty face for making a noise.

"There is no food. Just buy it outside" Zahra said, turning around and going back to her room.

But it's not Fatih to just let Zahra go. He scratched the knife into his palm, instantly a red viscous liquid was seen pressing onto the floor.

"Aw!" Fatih's screeching made Zahra turn back and look at the blood from her husband's palm.

Zahra shook her head. He immediately grabbed the medicine box and approached Fatih. Clean the wound and thicken it with gauze.

Let's just say Zahra is not a cruel woman. She is a gentle woman who prefers to shut herself down. It takes extra attention to touch his heart.

"Thank you," Fatih said as the wound on her hand was wrapped in gauze.

"Other times it is not necessary to hurt yourself just to attract the attention of others, all you do is foolish actions," Zahra replied while tidying up the medicine box.

Zahra's hand was held when she left.

"You're not someone else. You're my wife. I just want us to be close and not like strangers. I'm sorry for putting you in a position you don't like."

Zahra flinched until the sound of the door being knocked made their attention stop. Gegas Zahra opened the door and it turned out that the man who came was Fatih's driver.

"Sorry, ma'am, this is Mr. Fatih's order."

Zahra nodded in acceptance of the meal and brought her to the table. Put it in front of Fatih.

Fatih cursed her driver who came not knowing the time and messed up her plan. "Wait on! You haven't eaten since. Let's eat together." Fatih asked his wife ah his second wife to eat together.

"Eat it! I'm not hungry."

"Zahrah!" This time Fatih's voice came back cold. "You don't feel hungry, but the fetus in your body needs nutrients. Eat up!"

Zahra was silent and looked at Fatih with a flat look.

"You may silence me, indifferently, or whatever but don't treat the fetus the same as me. Not the guilty but me." Fatih spoke again. He moved the food onto the plate. "Eat! If you feel like my existence is disturbing, assume I don't exist."

Zahra let out a long sigh, then ate the food Fatih had given her. After eating he was about to wash the dishes but Fatih held him back.

"Have a break, let me do this."
