The Lord's Concubine
Ivan And Zian

"You know each other?" farra asked as she rounded her eyes looking at Zian and Ivan in turn.

Ivan was no less surprised after learning that the man who brought Farra and Aksa was Zian.

"Tu-" Not yet Ivan greeted the man, Zian instead hugged Ivan and patted him on the back.

"Zian," interrupted Zian with a smile looking at Ivan who was still putting on a look of wonder.

"Yes, we know each other, Farra. Ivan was my friend when I was living in the city. Right, Van?!" Zian smiled at Ivan.

"I-iya, Farra," said Ivan who was still seen in shock with their meeting.

"We'd better talk inside. Come, come in," Zian took along, leading Ivan and Farra, who were holding Aksa, who was still soundly asleep.

After opening the door of his house, Zian immediately led Farra to a room and invited the girl to rest there with Aksa. While Ivan sat in the front seat while waiting for Zian who was still taking care of Farra and his sister.

"Rest, Farra. I'd like to talk to Ivan for a minute. It's been a long time since he and I have met" Zian said.

Farra nodded her head. "Well, thank you, Brother Zian," said Farra.

"Yes, you're welcome."

After Zian went to see Ivan, Farra put Aksa's body still sleeping soundly in her carrier onto the bed in the room. The room was small, but very neat.

Not only the room, but all the rooms in the simple house look so neat. Farra searched the bathroom and she found it next to the kitchen.

Farra took a bath there and changed her clothes. A day of walking aimlessly makes his body tired and that definitely feels sticky and uncomfortable.

Meanwhile.

"Van, what exactly is your relationship with Farra and Aksa? Have you known me for a long time?" zian asked with a serious look at Ivan.

"Tu-"

"Zian, just call me Zian" Zian said.

"All right."

Ivan took a deep breath and continued his words. Ivan told me all about Farra. Who Farra and Aksa really are. Then how does the girl relate to her evil tant.

Ivan also recounted the time when Farra was forced to marry Mr. Hendrik and now ended up being the wife of a King due to a misunderstood grudge.

Not to forget, Ivan also told how his regrets were so deep, because it had become one of the people responsible for Farra's unfortunate fate.

Various expressions were revealed by Zian. From resentment, anger, hatred to a deep sense of pity for the fate of Farra and Aksa that is so terrible.

"Thank you very much, Zian. I believe you can definitely take good care of them."

"Yes, of course!" sahut Zian's.

"Hmm, may I ask? How can you be here? And what are you doing here?" ivan asked while linking his eyebrows looking at Zian who was now throwing a smile at him.

Not only that question, but there were still many more questions he wanted to ask Zian.

"Later, I will tell you. But not now. Let me enjoy my life, Van. And I hope you'll never tell anyone about me and my whereabouts here. You understand, don't you?"

Ivan nodded his head. "Yes, I understand" said Ivan.

Zian furrowed his brows as he looked at Ivan and it seemed like he was thinking hard.

"So ... You don't work for that guy anymore?" ask Zian.

Ivan shook his head. "Yes, I've resigned."

There was a warm smile on Zian's face. "Do you want to help me, Ivan?"

"Yes, of course."

Zian and Ivan went back to having a serious conversation. While Farra who had just finished bathing and getting dressed, came back to the two men.

Farra was still wondering why Ivan could be in this place. Farra was afraid that Ivan would follow him on the orders of the Lord King.

Slowly he walked up to the two and Farra's arrival left Ivan and Zian shocked. After a while, the two men smiled at their warm smiles.

"Farre? Sit down" said Zian, inviting Farra to sit on one of the empty seats.

Zian again looked at Farra without blinking a single bit. Moreover, the plain appearance of Farra after bathing that looks fresher and certainly more beautiful.

"Farra, I keep calling your phone number. But your phone number is completely off" Ivan said.

Farra smiled wryly as she twisted the end of her clothes.

"Ehm, actually Mr. Ivan's phone I left in the closet. Maybe the phone died because it wasn't charged. I thought I'd be back with Aksa and I don't need that phone anymore" Farra said.

"Yes, geez, Farra!" pekik Ivan while patting his head.
