Silence graces the brand's journey towards Zoya's favorite restaurant. Ezra does not know that Japanese cuisine is one of his favorite foods. For all he knows, Zoya likes Indonesian cuisine like herself. Because their mother is from the same country and they are friends.
"When have you loved Japanese food? " ask Ezra in the end to break the silence between them.
"When did it start? Maybe ever since I went to college, and I accidentally met a little sister of my level back then, she really liked Japanese cuisine. And now he became a Chef, but strangely he was not a chef for Japanese cuisine that he liked but a chef of western cuisine. Weird right? "
"Who? I've never seen you close to anyone but Dr. Evan. " Ezra tries to lure Zoya with the name of Evan's doctor. Whether Zoya has forgotten him or is still hoping for him.
"Do I have to report to you who I'm close to? " zoya said with a slight annoyance.
"Hey, why are you upset like that? " Ezra turned his head for a while towards Zoya who was pursing her lips. He then raised his free hand to rub Zoya's cheek.
"I'm sorry, I just asked. Why are you so easy to swallow anyway? " ask Ezra still stroking Zoya's cheek.
"Don't talk about Evan anymore. I don't like. " said Zoya in the end still with her face bent.
"I've contacted him many times, but not in the lift either. Isn't that annoying. "he said again.
"Ohhh, so because of that. " Ezra instantly removed his hand from Zahra's smooth cheek.
"Why? "
"It's okay. "
Ezra refocused on the road, and the atmosphere in the car was quiet again. They were both busy with their thoughts.
"Ezra... "
"What."
"If I return your love, what about mommy and daddy. Will they bless us? While I'm older than you and your sister Faza is married to my brother. Then.... " Zoya paused his sentence and exhaled his breath violently.
"Then, can we also unite and be together like Faza and Brother Murad? " said Zoya again continued her sentence but with great concern.
Ezra was silent, he was still focused on staring at the crowded streets and passing by car drivers. In front of a park, he stopped his car.
"Why stop? we'll be here any minute. "
Ezra looked at Zoya deeply. "If you return my love, then I will fight for the blessing of mom and daddy. I'll convince them that I can make their daughter happy" Ezra said with confidence.
"Are you serious? "
"So serious, Zoya. I never broke my words. Do you need any more proof that I love you? " asked Ezra by raising her eyebrows teasing Zoya.
"Ih, you pervert Ezra. "creepy Zoya who sees Ezra's suddenly strange attitude.
"No, I won't do more to you Zoya. I will only do it when you become my wife. "
"Who said I wanted to be your wife? " question Zoya in a sniffling voice and turn her face towards the street.
Seeing Zoya's attitude like that made Ezra slightly hurt. Because he thinks that Zoya will accept him and return his love. Then he started running his car again.
Zoya who saw the change in Ezra's attitude wanted to laugh loosely, but she put up with it.
"You why? why is it turning cold like that? " question Zoya without feeling any guilt, because she saw Ezra who again put on her cold face.
"It's okay, as good as we'll have dinner soon." replied Ezra coldly.
Zoya dislikes this kind of change in Ezra's attitude. She preferred Ezra who was warm and gentle to her.
"Ezra... "
"Hmmm... "
"Can you give me a little more time to think about it? "
"Think what else? "
"Thinking to repay your love for me. "
Ezra stopped his car when he entered the restaurant parking area.
Zoya nodded while looking down.
Ezra then knits Zoya's chin to face her.
"Are you serious? " said Ezra still with his hand on Zoya's chin.
And Zoya replied to him still nodding her head.
"Well, I'll give you some time, but not too long. Because I'm definitely not going to wait for certainty from your mom, Zoya."
"Yes wait for me in a minute. "
Ezra then let go of her hand and gave Zoya her most beautiful smile.
"Let's go in. "
Ezra comes out first from Zoya, and opens the door for Zoya. They entered the restaurant with smiles full of their lips, and sat at a table where there were only chairs for the two.
Zoya then chooses some food that she likes, while Ezra just pay attention, she leaves everything to Zoya because she does not like the cuisine of the land of the rising sun.
"I ordered ramen for you" said Zoya after ordering her food.
"It's up to you, because I want to know how you made me like the food" Ezra said with a gentle smile.
"Ezra, don't put on that cold face of yours if we're together. Because I don't like. "
"Don't piss me off, then I won't put that face on. "
"Huh.you're this. "
The two of them continued chatting until their order came. Zoya eats their food voraciously, while Ezra only notices. Watching Zoya eat alone made her stomach full.
"Why don't you eat, Ezra? "
"Seeing you eat I'm full, Zoya. "
Zoya then takes a sushi and feeds it into Ezra's mouth.
" Come, eat... Aaaa... "
Ezra starts to open his mouth and takes a bribe from Zoya.
"Hows it? Aren't you? "
Ezra nodded, though he didn't like it very much. But getting a bribe from Zoya makes her love the food.
"You always did, yesterday at the salad you said you didn't like, but the proof is that we can finish the meal with a bowl of two" Zoya said in a mocking tone.
"Hehehe... Whatever goes into my mouth as long as it's from your hand, I'll love it. Although the food was not I like. " said Ezra by scratching his nape that does not itch.
Zoya returns to feed Ezra. That is until their food is gone.
"Are you full, "ask Zoya after finishing her meal.
Ezra nodded his head, smiling.
"So here's what you said, you're gonna make me love that food. "
"Yes... " Zoya returned Ezra's smile with a sweet smile.
"Well, I admit now you're smart enough to charm me. You have made me fall in love so many times" said Ezra, clasping Zoya's hand.
"Stay like this, because I love it. And never cry for something unimportant. Because your tears are precious, " said Ezra again.
As they were having a warm chat, suddenly a voice greeted Zoya.
"Sir Zoya... "
