The Mafia Bride
Season 2: Vendetta and love

In life, there is only one thing that is difficult to live, which is to accept. Accepting grief, loss, joy. Always cause prolonged inner conflict. And it takes a long time to really accept.

Jiro continues to run clasping Zoya's hand tightly, dragging Zoya and herself in limp steps. The gunshot wound to Jiro's shoulder continues to drain blood. The girl herself was injured in the aftermath of Miko's hand blow and a violent impact on the wall.

With a breath of gasps, finally the bodies of the two collapsed on the floor and were already exhausted. Jiro pulls Zoya's collar as the girl falls face down on the floor. Pull her into his arms and hold her tightly. The girl vomited thick blood, her eyes twinkled with fireflies, but she kept trying to reach her consciousness.

"Hold on," she whispered softly. But Zoya just smiled. Jiro turned his gaze towards the hallway. Miko was walking over to him by holding a wooden block in her hand. Jiro tightened his embrace.

"Zoya, wake. We go from here." he said slowly with a straight look towards Miko who was getting closer with his men.

'I'm not strong, you go. Leave me here. Your mother's worried about you."

With energy left, Zoya pushes Jiro's body. Then he got up and stood running towards Miko.

"Zoya! pekik Jiro immediately stood up with limped steps running towards the two girls.

" Conscious Miko, you only hurt yourself. End this grudge!" zoya's screams directly hit Miko's body to stay away.

"Never, you have ruined my dream! you both hurt me!" Miko pushed back Zoya's body and kicked the girl's stomach until it toppled backwards. Jiro who was behind them immediately caught Zoya's body so as not to fall to the floor.

"I beg you, don't hurt Zoya. He's not wrong what." Jiro tries to calm Miko who has been controlled by anger.

Without saying anything else, her hand that was holding the wooden block in swung to Zoya's face, but Jiro protected her with his own back.

"Bukk!"

"Ahhhh! Jiro groans softly, fresh blood dripping from his mouth soaking down Zoya's face.

"Why do you care more about him?! why?!" pekik Miko kept hitting the wooden beam.

"Stop!"

Miko turned her head towards the voice, seeing Kenzi running towards her. But two of Miko's men immediately hit Kenzi's body at the same time. Miko turned her eyes to Adelfo who had just come with a firearm in his hand, immediately shot Miko's men until they did not wince anymore.

"Stop them all." Miko orders her men, while she herself runs towards the other hallway, avoiding physical contact with Kenzi as well as Adelfo.

"Darling, how'd you have it?" Kenzi raised Jiro's body which was still hugging Zoya's unconscious body. "You're hurt."

"Dad, I'm sorry." said Jiro lirih.

Quiet the.." Kenzi lifts Zoya's body and holds her. His eyes were turned to Adelfo who kept shooting at the enemy.

"Adelfo enough! your daughter's hurt!" exclaim Kenzi.

"Son, let's get out of here." Kenzi walks in Zoya's arms, followed by Jiro from behind. Meanwhile, Adelfo is getting angry to see his daughter injured. He continued to rush into another room looking for all the enemies. But apparently that place is not the actual Crips headquarters. Then he ran outside following Kenzi and the others.

"What about my daughter?" Adelfo stared sadly at Zoya's face which was filled with blood stains Jiro. "Give it to me."

Kenzi hands Zoya's body into Adelfo's lap.

"Papa's girlfriend, hang on." said Adelfo lirih. His eyes are glassy.

For the first time he held his daughter in an injured state. Previously he always looked after her, anyone could not touch let alone hurt Zoya.

"That girl is really dangerous, I didn't expect it at all. I've been fooled by his looks and speech" Kenzi said, rubbing his face rough.

"The girl's revenge is more dangerous than the person who controls her" Adelfo said.

"You're right." Kenzi Sahut.

"It turns out I mispredict, the mastermind behind this is all not known for sure. Maybe Jiro knows it." Adelfo stared at Kenzi at a glance, then turned to look at his daughter who slowly opened her eyes.

"Zoya, what's still sick?" adelfo asked worriedly, then he sat down on the edge of the bed helping the girl get up and sit on the bed.

"You calm down, Jiro is fine. He just finished the operation." Kenzi Timpal.

"I'd like to see him, Pa. I beg you.."

"All right.." Adelfo helps Zoya get off the bed, then sweeps her out of the room followed by Kenzi from behind to the room where Jiro is being treated.

"Darling, how are you?" greet Siena to Zoya.

"Tante, I'm fine" said Zoya. Then walk up to Jiro and sit on a chair.

"Hey.." Zoya said.

But Jiro just silently looked at Zoya. Kenzi, Siena and Adelfo slowly walked out leaving them. Give their daughter a chance to talk to each other.

"Zoya, I'm sorry. Because of me, you're like this." Jiro smiles and wants to talk after his parents are outside.

"It's okay, I'm glad you're okay. Had you been honest long ago, it might not have been like this. I feel sorry for Miko, as a woman. I can feel what Miko feels." Zoya.

"You mean?" Jiro stared intently at the girl he loved quietly.

"He loves you, take him back home." Zoya lowered her head for a moment.

"Didn't you love me?" ask Jiro back.

"I love you so much, but if you're with me. Miko's revenge won't stop bothering us and our families."

"Are you asking me to be with him? no Zoya. I love you, I can't be with her."

"But-?"

"Saturday!" Jiro put his finger on Zoya's lips. "We face the same thing, no matter what happens. It's Miko's choice, I've repeatedly given her a chance."

Zoya lowered Jiro's arms, momentarily looking down confused. On the other hand, he loves Jiro very much. On the other hand he felt sorry for Miko. He used to ask her to fight for Jiro, because he thought that Jiro loved Miko.

"I love you." whispered Jiro softly.

"What should I do again, if you choose him." said Miko softly, her hands rubbing tears on her cheeks. Then he kicked the chair in front of him to the ground.

"All my efforts have been in vain, but you have not seen me at all. Enough is enough, Jiro.."

"Since when, I have a daughter as weak as you, Miko! don't forget your main mission. Your father was killed by Kenzi, you have to remember that. Not just because you love her son, and then you forget our ultimate goal."

Miko turned her head towards her mother who was sitting on the sofa gracefully. "No Mother." answered Miko quietly.

"Remember, that man who killed your father, destroyed all the Outfit and Siena, he killed Livian, too."

"Enough Mom! don't push me, I'm tired. I'm tired Mom! pekik Miko sobbing.

The woman stood up to Miko with an angry look. And put his hand on Miko's cheek.

" Plakk!!

"Mother.." Miko could no longer hold back her tears, the slap of her mother's hand and the wound that Jiro gave her, just as much as hurt her heart.

"I'm your daughter Mother, not a killing machine!"

Miko held her cheek, then ran outside the room leaving her mother.

"The boy should be constantly reminded who killed his family. Otherwise, she would be weak just because of love," she said staring intently at the mysterious man who always wears a face mask.
