THE TORTURED WIFE
Romantic

Gibran invites Zidan to go to the coffee shop in front of the Kindergarten for coffee while talking there. While Lara and Dianka still stood still. They are both confused to restart a conversation that has not been done for a long time.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you" Lara said.

"Yes, now that you're happy Lara, I'm happy" Dianka said.

"You're happy as well as you are now" said Lara.

"I'm sorry for all my past mistakes, Lara" Dianka said.

"I also apologize for my past mistakes" Lara said.

"Everything that has passed, now we have a new life each. Hopefully in the future we can be good friends" said Dianka.

"Yes, let's be friends. Oya Zion is very similar to Alex" said Lara.

"At first I thought he was Alex, but once I found out his origins and past and childhood photos with his parents it all proved that he wasn't Alex. He is just similar, even his nature is different" said Dianka.

"So when I saw him I was shocked, I thought he was still alive. But when Gibran was so friendly with him, I'm sure he wasn't Alex. Gibran knows Alex, but he doesn't think Zion is Alex. And even he looks familiar with Zion" Lara said.

"Your son goes to school here too" Dianka said.

"Yes, Mahira chose kindergarten here, which child is Dianka?"ask Lara.

"That's sitting on the right row" Dianka said.

"It's very similar to Alex, I'm sorry I put Alex to death and made you part with Alex" Lara said.

"Dafa is Alex's son, everything that happened to Alex should be in accordance with what he has done, especially to you" Dianka said.

"So when Alex was in prison you were pregnant, it must have been hard for you when you needed a husband figure but instead of being alone in your pregnancy, you're a strong and great woman Dianka" Lara said.

"You are also a strong and great woman, it is not easy to live your life with all the suffering Alex has given you" Dianka said.

"Let's forget the past and welcome the future" Lara said.

"You're right let's forget the past and welcome the future, the spirit" Dianka said with a smile.

"Eager" Lara said with a smile as well.

Lara and Dianka were finally able to find an atmosphere. They have agreed to make friends and forget the past.

After taking Mahira to school, Gibran and Lara return home. They went straight into the room. Lara helps Gibran with the clothes and things that will be carried in the suitcase. While clearing that up, Lara conversed with Gibran.

"Where do you know Zion from?"ask Lara.

"It used to be during a land dispute conflict in Kendari. Zion came from abroad to build a company here, he had difficulty to drive out the wild buildings on the land he had bought to set up the company. Because of that problem his secretary called the police, it just so happened that me and my team were assigned. Finally there was a negotiation and agreement between Zion and the people who live in the wild building" Gibran said.

"But she looks like Alex yes" Lara said.

"At first I thought like that too, but after he showed all his identity, I'm sure he's not Alex, the way he talks and thinks is very different to Alex" Gibran said.

"Dianka also said that, that Zion is not Alex" Lara said.

"Dear you remember your past, huh?"ask Gibran.

"Yes, but there you are by my side I don't have to be sad anymore" Lara said.

"Honey, later after you get to tell me yes" said Lara.

"Ready baby, if I need to call every hour so you can let go of the miss" Gibran said.

"Ah, dear" said Lara.

"Dear, who's the witness you're protecting?"ask Lara.

"A woman, her husband died of murder. And she was a witness to her husband's murder. Because her husband's killer wasn't an ordinary person so this case is quite difficult to solve. I was assigned to protect him while he was out of town to take care of his business" Gibran said.

"Oh, is she pretty?"ask Lara.

"You jealous, baby?"ask Gibran.

"No, I.." said Lara.

"You don't have to worry, for me you're the most beautiful woman that fills my heart. We have an adorable little princess. I can't sacrifice my happiness now for such a small thing, baby" Gibran said.

"Darling, I'm in love" Lara said.

"I am also more and more in love until my heart is full of your name" Gibran said.

Lara smiled at her beloved husband. She knew her husband loved her very much and Mahira, she had nothing to doubt about his loyalty.

Zion's working her office in her office. He kept staring at his laptop screen, his hand kept moving checking all the data on the laptop. Terry's mother came into his study. He approached Zion who was focused on working.

"Zion, you're always working and working. I really deserve your wife doesn't look romantic to you. As a man, you should be more attentive to him. Your wife is not beautiful can be tempted by other men out there" said Terry's mother.

"What should I do, Ma?"ask Zion.

"Buy that flower continue to give to your wife, such a small thing is very important for the survival of your household. Moreover, you have Dafa, you must strengthen the love relationship between you" said Terry's mother.

"Later to buy flowers for Dianka" Zion said.

Terry's mother immediately grabbed Zion's ear.

"Pbu.aw.....Mama geez don't anymore" said Zion.

"Heh his name is a relationship if not nurtured and cared for will feel boring, if you are tired of running away from infidelity, you want to lose your beautiful wife. Hurry and buy flowers, Mama doesn't want to know" said Terry's mother.

"Oke Ma, but let go of Zion's ear" Zion said.

Terry's mother took her hand off Zion's ear. He knew his son would do his bidding.

Zion went to the flower shop, she looked around at the flowers she was going to buy. This was the first time she had bought flowers for a woman. He did not know which flowers to buy, finally asked the florist.

"Want to ask, which flowers are for loved ones?"ask Zion.

"Oh, for a loved one it's usually a red rose" said the shopkeeper.

"Then I buy all the red roses here" Zion said.

"Okay" said the florist's keeper.

Zion's inexperienced at love, she doesn't know how many red roses to buy. For him as long as he could afford it, he would buy all those red roses.
