VARSHA
SEASON 2 PART 45

Rania put five glasses of warm drinks on the living room table. He sat beside Jim-in holding a tray and kept looking at the friend who was calming Laluna.

After an accidental meeting at the restaurant earlier, Rania invites Zahra back to her home. I don't know why he felt something bad happening there.

He then looked at the woman who was hugging Zahra so tightly. A pair of nettles squinted to watch the face hiding in the niche of the friend's neck.

He found there was a slight bruise there, and thought that before he and his husband arrived at the restaurant something was likely to have happened.

"Zahra, he-"

"Oh she's my sister, Laluna," Zahra explained cutting off Rania's speech knowing what Rania was going to say.

He rubbed his back repeatedly and gave words of encouragement.

"If you can tell, what else is it? Sorry before, I didn't mean to interfere, but it was -"

"I'm so ashamed that such events are constantly being known," Zahra cut down on Seok Jin's words.

He looked down and looked at the three people nearby.

"A few moments ago...."

Zahra also told the beginning of what he had experienced with his sister.

The meeting of Zahra, Laluna, Dong Hyuk, Young Mi, in the flower shop continued until the night.

Together, they build intimacy between father and stepson to dilute the relationship between the two.

Neither Zahra nor Laluna thought they could get a stepfather as good as Dong Hyuk.

Far from being a shadow, the figure of the flower entrepreneur treated her like a real child. Dong Hyuk made no distinction between Young Mi, Zahra, and Laluna, and cherished them sincerely.

Although not long ago they knew each other, but Dong Hyuk and Zahra and Laluna could feel their closeness.

Dong Hyuk also generalized his three children he met, even though they had just met, but the relationship seemed to have been established for a long time.

Dong Hyuk invites his stepchildren and his birth to dinner together at a fancy restaurant.

He said the moment of the meeting should be immortalized and celebrated in an extraordinary place. Neither Zahra nor Laluna would accept it.

They are also not good if they have to reject the good intentions.

Coincidentally, the luxurious restaurant of choice of the stepfather served halal food.

Dong Hyuk who is the same faith as them will certainly not give food carelessly.

This impressed Zahra and Laluna. They were delighted to be so lavishly hosted by his stepfather.

Lee Dong Hyuk was better than their own real father. The impression given by him was so profound in the hearts of Zahra and Laluna.

Because all this time they lost the affection of the parents, the slightest attention Dong Hyuk received was impressive.

Just as they entered the restaurant, the view of the tub in the magnificent palace caught sight. The brothers were amazed to see the luxury in the restaurant.

There is a big lamp hanging in the middle of the room and the feel of gold is so thick.

Along his feet stepped towards the pre-reserved table, Zahra continued to watch around.

Until his eyes fell on the tall figure who was standing in front of the elevator. As if knowing who it was his lips only commented a knotty smile.

Maybe it was the wrong person, he thought. He didn't think much of it and refocused on his family.

She also enjoyed dinner with her stepfather and sister.

There, joking, laughter was thrown by them. Especially when responding to Young Mi who is very adorable.

"Appa went to the toilet for a while" Dong Hyuk said and left the three.

They agreed and waited while finishing food at the round table.

In the midst of the euphoric overflow that was so warm, suddenly came a middle-aged woman who immediately stopped their happiness.

Zulfa present with hunting breath drew Young Mi to stand behind him while facing her other two children.

The nyalang's gaze was so piercing that Laluna frowned even more, in disbelief.

"Why? Why is Mom staring at us like that? Have we disturbed Mamah's pleasure? Is Mamah afraid that we've ruined all of Mamah's fun all along?" Laluna is excited when she already knows what her mother's spirit is like now.

"Oh or maybe Mamah is afraid we're dismantling the rot-"

A loud slap echoed there stopping Laluna's speech. Instantly the incident invited the attention of other visitors.

Those who were having dinner together or just entered were surprised.

Before he said another word, Dong Hyuk came pulling his wife's shoulders quickly.

"This is the umpteenth time I've seen you slap your kids, Zulfa. I can't tolerate it anymore. You put us to shame" he said.

She was surprised to see her husband's face turn red, holding back anger.

"It's not like that, honey. I-I just-"

"What only? It's been enough all this time that I close my eyes on your behavior that has deceived us," said Dong Hyuk again.

In the middle of the tension, Zahra turned to the right side where her attention was at one point.

There his heartbeat was too fast as the drums were simple with each other.

Somehow his two feet stepped closer greeting the three of them.

His hunch also said if they had seen what had just happened.

He approached to make the three aware so as not to focus too much on the problems that were being experienced.

...***...

"That's why I approached you" Zahra explained.

Rania was silent to hear all the series of events that had been experienced by the friend.

He got up from sitting and clasped his hands tightly.

"It's okay, Zahra. Everything will be fine, you and your sister. There is us, there is God too. Leave everything to the one above."

"Also, pray for my mother. Ask God to open the eyes of his heart," said Rania, pity and surprise.

Zahra reviewed the knotty smile and returned her warm gaze.

"Thank you, Rania. Because I want to hear my story,"

"It's okay, I'm glad you're willing to share the grief" Rania replied.

The two women hugged each other and took off the flick together.

Laluna was still holding back the pain on her cheeks.

Jim-in and Seok Jin had just watched silently and felt the same way as Rania for what happened to Zahra.

They did not expect that behind the wide smile that Zahra often held contained deep wounds.

Seok Jin and Jim-in let the two women spend time together.

Not long after, Seok Jin pulled over on the first-floor balcony. He was silently pensively watching the dark sky full of gray clouds.

It is likely that heavy rain will soon fall.

A breeze of cold wind swept across her porcelain-clear white face spouting a pink tinge seeping into the ears.

The solitude forms a silhouette of events after events continue to intersect.

The weak smile present adds to the good looks of the doctor.

His age who entered the head of three has not yet obtained the real idol.

The beloved figure actually even betrayed ended traumatized.

However, over time Zahra was present removing the lara.

Starting from a sense of pity anchored into a feeling of longing.

Love is present melt away the sadness as well as the flutter is increasingly muffling.

The desire to have a higher each time you see invisible wounds continue to be caught sight.

Seok Jin wanted to protect Zahra completely, but he realized they could not do so if there was no sacred bond in it.

Because after all the ridho of Allah is preferred by him.

"Young." The call drew the doctor's full attention.

He realized from daydreaming then turned to the side to find his friend and sister standing there.

The smile he showed pulled the two eyebrows together.

"What are you thinking?" tanyanya direct.

"Did Hyung like Zahra?"

The question floated in the air without any obvious reply.

The warm eyes and gentle smile shown by Kim Seok Jin explained everything.

Jim-in curls both corners of his lips, feeling what settles in his chest.
