Happy reading!
A loud slap landed right next to Alden's cheek. The sound of a slap that even made some visitors at the place turn their heads towards them with astonished eyes.
"Don't think I'd accept the offer. How can I give up the child I bear and replace it with money?" Zoya firmly says that. His eyes were so sharp, staring with anger.
Alden who was still rubbing next to his cheek could only fall silent. He did not want to provoke a commotion, especially now that all eyes have been directed at him and it is not impossible for anyone to recognize him as Lucas' assistant or even the worst possibility is that someone recorded it.
"If there's nothing else to talk about I say goodbye! Tell your boss if I can't accept his offer." Zoya leaves without waiting for Alden's answer. Leaving the man who was just unmoved staring at his disappearance.
After Zoya is no longer seen by his sight, Alden immediately picks up the phone from his suit pocket to contact Lucas. Reporting the rejection given by Zoya. Never mind to give his son, even meet with Lucas directly Zoya also rejected him violently.

Along the way, Zoya keeps thinking about all the things Alden said. Not to forget he also exchanged back the results of his examination which were exchanged yesterday when colliding with the man.
"So being barren, so he insisted on getting my son to be the successor of his family." Zoya let out a heavy breath. Thinking of Alden's offer to him was like the stories of novels he had read. Although the money offered by Alden is not kidding, which reaches 50 billion. "At least he appreciates his own son very highly. That means, he's still using his common sense to think."
In a crowded cargo hold, Zoya still remembers what Alden said. The memories that still burn him were angry. He felt inferior because Lucas only wanted children in his womb, without thinking about his feelings. How can a mother sell a child who is her own flesh and blood. Maybe if Alden says Lucas will be responsible for marrying her, it could be a bit considered by Zoya because of course she doesn't want her son to be born without a father.
Amidst Zoya's fear of thinking about her life, the sirens of the fire engine began to sound loud. No matter how jammed the traffic situation at that time, but all the cars in front of him seemed to pull over and give way to the three extinguishing cars that immediately crossed the angkot that Zoya was riding.
It took a long time for him to get home. The condition of the road at that time was so crowded that it made traffic turn into heavy. Zoya was getting tired of being in the angkot for long. "Usually this clock is still not jammed. It must be because of the fire that's going on up ahead."
"I shouldn't have hitched a ride in the man's car" murmured Zoya regretting her decision when she accepted Alden's offer to go along with the man's car.
After struggling with congestion and difficult conditions in the angkot, Zoya has arrived at the front of the road to her home. After exiting, he immediately gave the driver some money. Then, both of Zoya's eyes were made stuck so shocked when three extinguisher cars that had passed the angkot he was riding turned out to have been parked in front of the road to his home. Zoya begins to see a huge plume of black smoke in the sky. Making his calm began to piqued because he felt if the smoke was like being very close to his house and flower shop.
"Is it possible ...?" Zoya could not continue her words. He began to speed up his footsteps. Breaking through the crowd of people who were crowded around the road to his house. He still hopes if the fire does not hit the house and flower shop, but it turns out his hope must be dashed when the house is no longer shaped. All were crushed into rubble with flames that still seemed to be burning. Zoya falls to her knees on the asphalt. His body instantly became very weak, his tears began to pour unstoppably. How could it be, the house he just bought could burn out and not only that, the flower shop he just pioneered also burned along with a number of houses in the vicinity.
"Oh my God, what else is this ordeal? Why ... why does this have to happen to me?" Still in sobs, Zoya also remembered the state of her mother who had been entrusted to guard the flower shop when she went with Alden. "Mother." Zoya got up from her sitting position. Standing up, he quickly approached his house and flower shop, which were still devoured by the fire that burned down the entire building. However, suddenly a man held back his steps so as not to get any closer than his current position.
"Mba, don't come any closer! The fire's still big, Mba's gonna get burned."
"But my mother's inside, sir. My mother how?" zoya asked with tears that had soaked her face while still trying to escape from the man's embrace.
"Sorry, Mba. We couldn't save your Mother who was inside that flower shop."
Zoya screams hysterically calling out her mother's name repeatedly. He did not believe what he heard. His world stopped for a moment. His heart was so broken that he had to lose the only family he still had. "No way! Don't you lie!" Zoya's getting more violent. He has no power to endure his pain. I do not know how many tears that fell quickly soaked her beautiful face.
Until finally, Zoya's voice stopped. The woman was unconscious and was quickly taken to a black car that had dark glass until the inside was completely invisible from the outside. The car that Zoya has been parked there since her arrival has been parked around the road to her house.
