The Substitute Bride of my Best Friend
Keeping Each Other's Feelings

Shaka decides to take the case of Ziva, his former fiancee. To be honest he was quite a dilemma after deciding to handle the client case that was part of his past. Actually, the thing done by Shaka is only a professional attitude, but still the man still feels there is something different from him when handling the case of other clients.

During his stint as Ziva's lawyer, Shaka will be ordinary and continue to carry out his work in accordance with the applicable code of conduct. Ziva, the client this time is a former fiance while he was married even though the marriage was not based on love still he wanted to respect the sanctity of the marriage and maintain the integrity of the household with Zahira.

On this very day, Shaka will meet Ziva again after a long time, fate reunites them. Along the way to his office, the man thought incessantly of Zahira. Ever since the woman left, it felt like there was a part of her that wanted to stay with the wife.

"Well, let's start as usual, Shaka," Shaka told himself in front of a mirror inside the toilet. He took a moment to turn to the toilet before actually entering and meeting Ziva there.

Shaka took a deep breath and threw it away quickly, his steps forward and opened his private office door. There was already a woman sitting behind him, Shaka himself was able to recognize the woman's back was Ziva's. His new assistant is also inside with Ziva.

"Morning, sir," said Assistant Shaka, Irhan his name.

"Morning." Ziva turned his head when he heard Shaka's voice. The gazes of the two met for a while before Shaka turned his face first. In his heart Shaka again felt awkward meeting Ziva in this state. Shaka immediately took a sitting position opposite Ziva. The woman took off a long black thick jacket and also a hat that might be useful in order to cover a bit of her face from someone who could expose Ziva because of a model.

"Well, can we get straight to the point of the case, Miss Ziva?" Shaka tried to be formal and put aside some of his awkwardness.

Ziva looked at Shaka for a bit, then took his phone. "In the meantime, you came alone?"

Ziva nodded. The woman looked calmer as if she had met Shaka for the first time. Shaka's self-esteem is slightly hurt by Ziva's attitude that has really gotten into the professional world of work.

"My personal assistant is sick today, so I'm on my own. The case I want to report here is about fraud and defamation" Ziva started the conversation.

"May explain what happened first, Miss Ziva."

Ziva sighed. "I was tricked by someone offering to shoot a magazine, the person's confession came from one of the big agencies of a magazine, but after the photo shoot was over, the statement read, I don't know if it's all just a scam. I felt stupid for not confirming this to my assistant first and finally I got the news if the photo started to spread in adult magazines. I really felt fooled because what they said was so convincing. I don't want this one problem to have a big impact on my career."

Shaka started to get carried away in his work. He begins to understand Ziva's case. "Then, what about your girlfriend named Andrew? Why didn't he help you?"

Stupid, why do you have to ask that question! shaka regrets when he realizes that the man has brought Ziva's personal affairs into the work business.

Getting the question, of course, makes Ziva a little embarrassed. Because the woman recalled how stupid she was because she was easily persuaded by other men to run away shortly before the marriage contract took place.

"Ehm .. we broke up after finding out my photo was spread in an adult magazine. From the family he did not agree if we are in love because for them the spread of photos in adult magazines is a disgrace to the family" said Ziva at length. Heads down, hands clasping at each other. He was ashamed to say it all in front of Shaka.

Shaka was quite surprised by Ziva's explanation. The man's eyeballs were perfectly wide and his jaw was wide open and almost dislodged from its place. The lawyer did not suspect that the harmony shown to him some time ago was just camouflage. The proof of their relationship was foundered when the two men had sipped the name heaven world together.

Dehydrate to get rid of large chunks of cactus in the throat. "Well, I'll call my team to record any information you can give us, such as chat evidence and magazines, too" Shaka said.

Ziva breathed a sigh of relief. "I really hope you can solve this problem well, Shaka." David turned his head as Ziva's language towards Shaka became informal all of a sudden. He also looked at Shaka with a few eyes.

Oh, my God, why does it feel so awkward. Lord, when will this suffering end, Shaka cried in his heart.

Shaka glanced at the assistant who had only worked one week in the papa's office. "David, you can call the others in and record information from Miss Ziva now."

"Good, Sir!" david sahut is short.

After David exited the room, Shaka let out a long breath. Ziva himself did not stop staring at the ex-lover. The man was again made uncomfortable by the glint of Ziva's eyes.

"What the ka-"

"Aah .. sorry, please don't you talk too familiar with me! We are now partners to solve your problems, just to the extent of it. So, please be professional, "sign Shaka quickly before Ziva finishes his sentence.

Ziva scrunched his forehead. "Is something wrong? I just want to talk more comfortable and not stiff like you. After all in this room there are only two of us, so why speak formally when there is no one else."

"Although it's just the two of you, but right now you're my client and I'm your lawyer. Don't let others think of us!" shaka Tidas firmly. He didn't want to let Zahira know and this problem boomerang for them.

Ziva shut his mouth. "Shaka, why are you acting like you never knew me?" The woman's eyes were glazed. "Are you really happy if I get in trouble like this?"

"Well, you can say my language is stiff, but that's what professionals say."

Shaka pressed on the word 'professional' and made the woman in front of him pause for a moment. Ziva rolled his eyeballs, quite upset by the nature of Shaka who was too on behalf of the job when he thought this case might be completed sooner if the ex-lover who handled it.

The back door opens with David carrying two Junioor Shaka who will join in the case.

"You sit down, we will discuss this case starting from what information we can use to sue the agency. You've read similar case files, haven't you?" shaka's toilet to his two junioors.

"Already, Sir!" they were almost at the same time.

Discussions on Ziva's case were time-consuming because the magazine's agency had evidence of a contract letter that Ziva said had been forged with his signature. Shaka and his team finally solved the problem this time easily.

"Alright, enough for today, the trial will start in a few days. Just in case we're going to skin more deeply about this agency because it could not be just Miss Ziva, the victim" Shaka said. Ziva smiled in relief and got up from his place.

"Thank you, Shaka."

Now it wasn't just David, the other two juniors glanced at each other. A client called out their senior name without hesitation signaling if they knew each other.

Ziva reached out his hand forward, wanting to shake Shaka's hand. But, ....

"You can go straight to Miss Ziva. Good morning," Shaka said without receiving a helping hand from his former fiancee, which upset Ziva.

Clenching both hands on the left right side while saying, "Good morning!" ketus Ziva's. The woman passed by leaving Shaka just like that.

After Ziva came out, Shaka rubbed his rough face. "I got through well, didn't I?"

"Eh? What did Mr. Shaka mean?" One of the junioors named Dea.

"That client was my ex." It is only natural that David and the two Junioors Shaka did not recognize Ziva because they had only been in the law firm for a few days.

They only ber-oh ria because they do not want to arbitrarily interfere in the affairs of their superiors.

Meanwhile, things are not much different from what Zahira experienced. If Shaka is with his ex-fiance, Zahira is instead with a recently known doctor. Although Nizam's doctor was acting normally, Zahira still wanted to keep her distance from the orders Shaka said last night.

Zahira did not want a small commotion at her residence with Shaka. Therefore, he made up his mind not to get too close to Nizam's doctor. Maintaining a partner's feelings is better than having to muscle in front of the husband.

Now that it was a break, the girl hurriedly climbed into the hospital rooftop to avoid doctor Nizam while breathing free air without being disturbed by anyone. "Ah, the leg."

Zahira breathed well there. It feels claustrophobic when together with a foreign man, different when the girl only thinks of Shaka who can only make her feel happy. A smile continues to crack at the corner of the lips imagining the face of a beloved husband. However, the smile was gone when he realized that the husband had not sent word since they separated earlier.

"He never even called me again? What's wrong with him, but yesterday .. ah why am I the one thinking?" mummified Zahira.

Zahira shook her head and opened the canned drink that she had been carrying since.

"A Doctor drinks a bottled drink?"

Reflexes, Zahira turned to the source of the voice. "Did Doctor Nizam follow me here?"ask the girl with eyes that are difficult to interpret.
