The Lord's Concubine
The Past Zian 2

"You should reflect first before thinking about proposing to a woman, Zian. Look at you!" The king smiled again. "I think you better find the same girl as yourself. Maybe a village girl who also wears thick glasses like these glasses," continued the King while reaching for thick glasses that are still attached to Zian's face.

"Give me back my glasses, King!" zian screeched as he blinked his eyes as the man's vision became blurry and indistinct.

Instead of handing the glasses back, Raja and Vania get even more excited about bullying Zian, the man they've always considered a geeky and very stupid man.

"What's this?" The king grabbed a diamond ring that was still in Zian's grasp and then showed it to Vania.

"Look, dear Vania! This geeky guy brought you a diamond ring. Do you want to wear it?" ask the King while chuckling.

Vania laughed, laughing at Zian who was so naive. That so expect himself to be the geeky man's life partner.

"Ih, no! The ring is so small" exclaimed Vania.

"What about this one?" The king threw Zian's ring in any direction and then showed his diamond ring which was much nicer and more expensive of course.

"Gee!" Vania widened her eyes while smiling widely. "Forku?!" peekkik Vania's.

"Yes, this ring is for you. I'd like to propose to you, Vania. Will you be my wife?" asked the King, and offered the ring to Vania.

Vania nodded her head quickly while smiling broadly at the beautiful ring, which was in front of her.

"Just a second!" The king approached Zian who was still standing where he stood while watching the couple with a vague vision.

The king put back Zian's thick glasses then smiled cunningly at the man.

"Now, you will be the witness where I will propose to Vania today" the king said.

Sure enough, with a wounded heart, Zian became a witness in which the figure of his puja girl was proposed by his own cousin, in front of his eyes.

"Dear Vania, will you marry me?" ask King.

"Yes, I'm willing, King!" pekik Vania while handing his fingers to the King, so that the man immediately put the expensive diamond ring on his ring finger.

After the King finished pairing the diamond ring to Vania's ring finger, Zian immediately stepped out of the room muttering.

"You are a compatible couple, you are both heartless human beings" Zian murmured.

It turns out that the King did not accept when his cousin said that he and Vania are human beings who do not have a heart. The annoyed king pulled the collar of Zian's shirt from behind then mindlessly hit Zian's face very hard.

"What did you say?!" the King screeched before a loud slap landed on Zian's face.

Zian fell down with fresh blood pouring down one of his nostrils. Slowly he got up then stood before the King who was still looking at him with an annoyed look.

"I still consider you my cousin, Zian. Had it not been, I would have-" Not yet finished the King said, Zian replied to the man's blow.

"What is it, huh?!"

There was a fierce fight between Zian and the King in the room. Vania screamed hysterically, she was so shocked to see the struggle of the two men. Vania wanted to try to break up the fight, but she was afraid to come closer.

The two men exchanged punches until their faces were filled with bruises from their blows.

"Even, enough!" shouted Vania loudly.

It turned out that Vania's shout managed to make the two men stop their struggle. Zian who was already careless was in the room, left immediately.

The king was still curious and he wanted to chase after Zian back then. However, Vania held him back and asked the King to let the geeky man leave his house.

"Already, King. I'm sure after this he will never dare to show his face in front of us again" said Vania trying to calm the King who was still itching to beat his cousin.

"But, the man was very upsetting, Vania!"

"That's it," persuaded Vania again.

After the incident, Zian decides to leave the city as well as his family. He wandered into the village and found out that he felt his life was more meaningful in the remote village.

The village also teaches a more meaningful life experience for Zian. Even he could forget his feelings for Vania, also because of that village.

"Zian, why are you quiet?" vania's question suddenly broke Zian's daydream.

"Huh?! Um, I'm sorry. I daydreamed," said Zian as he broke Vania's tight embrace from her body.

Vania wiped her tears while smiling warmly. "What are you daydreaming about, Zian? May I know?"

Zian returned Vania's smile then gently stroked the two cheeks of the woman. "Dreaming of our past stories, Vania."

"REally?!" Vania was so excited to hear the answer from Zian back then.

"Yes" said Zian, pulling back his hand.
