Wedding Scandal (Silently Loving You)
Chapter 5 The phrase

Bobi and Irene have dinner with the CEO for an advertisement. And have them both sit on the couch and talk romantically. Not long after, lara comes across the drop-in by Zaki for the same ad.

"That's them coming," the CEO said as he watched Lara and Zaki come together.

The CEO smiled happily at the sight of these two harmonious family icons being able to shoot together in one commercial.

They then sat down together and filming was about to begin. After filming, Irene motioned to Zaki to meet him.

Zaki nodded.

Irene told her husband to come out for a while, as they were currently filming inside the house.

Zaki walked after her and it made Lara smile wryly.

"Want a drink?" the CEO sat in front of Lara. Lara nodded and smiled at the CEO.

"I didn't see Irene and Zaki. Where's them?"

"They came out for a while" Lara replied. The CEO stared fixedly at Lara's pretty face. The CEO seemed to want to dive off Lara's face and see her heart. She is completely confused by her attitude that remains unfazed by the closeness of her husband and Irene who she thinks are on the finish line of friendship.

"Yesterday you came home quickly. Irene, too," said the CEO when he was about to see her but it turned out that they had all come home suddenly from Bali.

"Ohh, yes. Sorry, I didn't tell you,"

The CEO smiled sweetly and his heart was a little unable to switch from the shady face of this girl before him.

Lara who was looked at sharply and deeply, became misbehaved and only smiled slightly.

"What are they doing? Why did you die so long alone?" ask CEO.

"Eh, that's ..." Lara saw a wave.

"Sometimes I feel like your relationship holds a big secret. Zaki is often with Irene and leaves you alone." it's clear from his tone if the CEO suspects there's something else in their relationship.

"I'm not papa. They know each other very well and they are close friends. Hehe...." Lara became awkward this time. He was upset that the two of them did not return immediately. The CEO smiled meaningfully.

.....

After filming Lara looks silent on the way home. And that caught Zaki's attention.

"You've been quiet ever since. Is there a problem?" zaki asked, looking at Lara.

"Something really bothered my mind,"

"Did that CEO talk to you about something?" ask Zaki again.

"He seemed sorry to see me. And I'm uncomfortable when she feels sorry for me,"

"Pity for what?" Zaki.

"Because I'm your wife. But you're with Irene a lot. And you guys are having an affair in her eyes. That's why he looked at me with pity,"

"......" Zaki seemed silent. Looking up and looking at Lara's face deeply.

"We're going to mama's house. We're invited to dinner today. The driver and mom had picked Al up with her sister" Zaki said.

Lara's face instantly changes every time she meets the Zaki family. Both of his parents were very happy with him. The two of them had loved her very much since she married Zaki.

"We'll just go straight there," Zaki decided to go straight to meet his parents for dinner.

They arrive at Zaki's parents' house. Al was carried by his grandfather and played in the park. While her mother-in-law just finished cooking Lara's favorite dishes.

"Lara, Zaki, have you come?" Greet her mother when she sees Lara and Zaki coming in.

"Oh yeah, mama just made your favorite shrimp meatballs. Taste the gih," her mother-in-law told Lara.

Lara then tasted it and she had the chocolate in the sauce in the small bowl.

"Hemm, this is delicious....!" praise Lara and her mother happy to see her daughter-in-law's expression.

He then ate up to a few seeds, so delicious. And her mother stared from a distance at how cute her daughter-in-law was that she considered like her own daughter.

Zaki smiled seeing his mother and his wife were very familiar. Then they went home, and Al stayed at his father-in-law's house.

.......

When I got home, some reporters were standing at the gate. They wait for Lara and Zaki to clarify a photo that someone took while they were in Bali.

"Why are there so many reporters in front of our house?" tanya Zaki turned to Lara and stopped her car.

Zaki opened the window beside Lara and she greeted one of the reporters.

"Bak Lara's. What's swimming with this Zaki sir you? Please clarify yes. Because netizens are sure it's not you" one of the reporters said, showing a photo of Zaki swimming on the beach with Irene.

Deg. Lara was shocked because the photo could be in the hands of journalists and I don't know who took the picture. That was when they were in Bali.

Zaki was shocked too. He immediately closed his window and waved at the reporters.

"Sir Zaki, Mbak Lara.....!"

"Sorry..!"

The gate was immediately closed and the reporter seemed disappointed that they had not gotten what they wanted.

Lara breathed in tightness and looked at Zaki as Zaki opened the door for her.

Zaki went straight in and left Lara standing glued to the side of the car.

Lara looked impassioned and just stared at her husband's back which passed without words.

Her husband immediately sat down at the dining table and drank cold water. It was as if he was trying to expel the uneasiness that was suddenly present on him.

"If they find out it's Irene. So she's in big trouble, "oh, apparently her husband is worrying about the woman he loves.

It was true, if the public knew it was Irene, then her career would be bleak. And certainly will not get an offer of advertising or playing a movie if the name becomes bad. The public will not like it or will hate and bully it.

"I'm sure they won't know. Or, should I lie and say if it was me?" ask Lara to Zaki.

Zaki nodded and looked inside Lara's face. The woman who is the shield for every mistake.

"It's not fair to you." said Zaki worriedly.

"Loving is protecting the one we love. You protect Irene, and I will protect you." Lara said unknowingly.

Zaki stared at him.

"That's because I'm getting used to our marriage. I. I'm starting......."

"Zaki's....."

"I'm starting to like you....."

"Yes hello...what? Family vacation?" Zaki is shocked when he gets a free holiday gift to several countries abroad with Lara.

While Lara felt like she had slipped and her chest was pounding at this moment. He was completely insane and could not help his feelings anymore.

"We're going on holiday to some countries. And it's free." said Zaki and made Lara fall into disbelief.

"really?" It must be fun, being with Zaki and being away from Irene, Lara's inner being.

"Oh yeah, what did you say? What did you say?" Zaki did not quite hear the three words of love from Lara. Because then there was a voice call coming in.

"That's....." Thank goodness you didn't hear it.

"That's. I just .... It's not an important matter."

"I have to tell Irene about this. If we can't meet for a while. It's for the sake of her career and also her good name." said Zaki and completely stunned Lara.

How to protect the people you love. You don't want him to get hurt because of people's blasphemy. You really look so in love with her. If only you loved me the way you loved Irene. I don't need any of this anymore. I'll leave my artist name. And I will only accompany you forever.Batin Lara when she sees her husband go up to her room. She looked with her eyes until her husband was no longer seen.
