Zeevanka returned home with mixed feelings. The last kiss between her and Niel kept floating around in her head. Zee knew what Zee was really feeling. Because, when Zee wanted to feel happy because he managed to get the man's touch again, in fact Zee was sad because Niel kissed him after breaking up with his ex-girlfriend.
When Zee wants to act naughty to tease Niel again, Zeevanka is now embarrassed when she realizes that Niel doesn't like her typical bitchy attitude. When Zee wants to celebrate their union, she feels so weak that she can only lie on the bed in her room.
Love is complicated for Zeevanka. She just wanted to get back together with Niel but had to go through events and efforts that never crossed Zee's mind before. Zee was tired of struggling to win Niel's heart back. Although Zee on the outside is a fierce figure who likes to tease Niel, in reality, Zee is nothing more than a weak woman who just wants to be loved. Zeevanka's tears just flowed. She didn't know what to do anymore.
"Zee, have dinner first, dear. Mama's waiting downstairs," her mother called as she knocked on the door.
Zee hurriedly wiped away her tears, then approached the door with a weak look. Of course, her mother was surprised.
"Honey, have you been crying? What did you do to that bastard?" her mother's persistent questions left Zeevanka confused.
Unfortunately, Zee had misunderstood her. In fact, it was Zee who approached Niel first, and Niel didn't hurt her, even tried to refrain from desecrating her. Unfortunately, her mother must have thought otherwise because Zee looked so devastated with her eyes puffy beyond measure.
"No, Ma. Zee's not hurt. I'm just a little tired," Zee said reassuringly.
Unfortunately, her sad face was not convincing at all, which made Lisna look even angrier.
"Lies! If he didn't hurt you again, how could you be crying like this?"
That's right. What Zee said contrasted with her disheveled appearance. She now looked more like a woman who had suffered from domestic violence than a woman who was happy after a love affair. Zee was at a loss as to how she could convince her mother.
"I'm serious, mom. It's okay. I believe in you," Zee replied softly.
Yes, maybe just a little softness and gentleness could make her mom believe a little. Unfortunately, she still shook her head in disbelief. How could her son be so blinded by love that he was willing to be hurt in such a way.
"You are also the same woman. You know he's a jerk, but you still defend him. I can't get over it," she replied in a soft tone.
Hearing her mother call Niel a jerk again made Zeevanka hurt. Niel was not a jerk. In fact, if measured, it was Zee who was actually more of a jerk because it was Zee who kept teasing Niel first. So, with a look of disappointment and anger, Zee fought back against her mother.
"Stop, Ma. Stop all your accusations. I'm sick of everything you say!"
Zee was so angry that she slammed the door to avoid her mother. Meanwhile, the woman was dumbfounded by her son's behavior since returning to Indonesia. Lisna was confused. What could she do to protect her daughter's fragile psyche? Should she find out for herself the man who had hypnotized Zee in such a way?

Everyone has their own life. Everyone also has their own busy lives. At the same time, everyone has different jobs. Even on a night like this, everyone has a different destiny.
Another Zee, another Fattan. When Zee was at home, Fattan was at home laughing happily. He had become obsessed with Lisa's charming figure since the meeting at his grandmother's house. Moreover, Lisa's sweet and cheerful demeanor managed to reawaken the passion in Fattan's soul. The man couldn't stop staring at the beautiful profile picture of Lisa that was displayed on his WhatsApp number.
[Hi, Lisa.]
Fattan decided to send Lisa's number a message after requesting it from Niel a few days ago. Fattan didn't care that their ages were quite far apart, or that his widower status might be disputed by anti-widower women. Because Fattan was determined to try to get close to Lisa until he was sure that Lisa was indeed disgusted by his status as a childless widower.
[Sorry, who is this?]
Lisa's reply made him smile happily. It felt good to make Lisa curious. So, Fattan would play around a bit to annoy her a bit.
[Guess who I am?] asked Fattan trying to make Lisa curious.
It was only Lisa's reply that made Fattan laugh. [It doesn't matter who you are because I have nothing to do with you. So I won't bother thinking about who you are!"]
How could I not? She said she didn't care who sent the message but her reply was lengthy. Shouldn't you just leave it at that? That's really interesting.
[It's me. Fattan.] Fattan decided to be honest. After all, Fattan had had enough of making her go crazy.
[Oh my. You again! Don't tell me you got my number from Niel again.]
Fattan smiled as he read Lisa's reply. She was very sensitive. Knowing that she returned the necklace after receiving information from Niel, Lisa could also immediately guess that this number was also from Niel. Niel was reliable, by the way. I wonder what the nephew is doing now.
[Hahaha. That's right. You're so smart.]
[You damn teenager. You're so good at sharing people's numbers!] Lisa swore at the wrong person.
She was angry about Niel, but Fattan was the one who got sprayed. Fortunately, this behavior made Fattan laugh endlessly.
[Wow, don't be too fierce, Miss, you'll get old fast.] Fattan teased.
A moment later, Lisa seemed to realize that her tantrum had made Fattan happy. As a result, she sent a logical reply in the context of the problem she was facing.
[So what's your purpose in contacting me?]
[I want to take you for a walk on the weekend. You have time, right?] Fattan asked without preamble.
For a mature man like him who already knows the bitter-sweet taste of love, Fattan can't mince words anymore. It's better for him to be honest or not at all than to play around in vague terms. Moreover, his previous divorce had traumatized him deeply.
[Fattan] No! I'm so busy that I can't even breathe. So please don't bother me!"]
Lisa's reply instantly made Fattan laugh out loud. How could Lisa be this rude and use illogical reasons to reject him. How could anyone be so busy that they couldn't breathe? You're dead! In fact, Lisa was still responding to Fattan's chats all this time.
Doesn't that mean that no matter how busy she is, Lisa can still make time for him? Or maybe, Lisa is just making this excuse to avoid him? Duh, damn it. This woman is making Fattan more and more curious.
