The sun was about to sink when a meeting with some of the companies that were going to participate in the Zafier project ended. Sheza had already walked out of the room after saying goodbye to Zafier. Sheza's exit from the room became a problem when Arsen later realized that Sheza was the woman he had been looking for. As soon as he found out, Arsen immediately rushed after him out of the meeting room.
Zafier looked at Carlos, he nodded his head. Instantly Carlos moved quickly towards Arsen and hurriedly blocked Arsen's arm. Arsen rebelled, almost going berserk. He turned around and hit back at Carlos but Carlos managed to dodge easily. Arsen's desire to pursue Sheza immediately stopped. Carlos released his cheque on Arsen's hand after getting a nod of the head from Zafier.
"What do you mean Zafier? Why did you stop me from chasing that woman. You know it's not that I've been looking for him for a long time and he's here right now. I want him to know my heart, before it's as late as it was. You're just taking my time. I won't be able to see you again", cried Arsen, he looked frustrated and very upset.
Zafier took a breath and exhaled it violently. He tries to control himself. "Hallo brother (Dutch:hai bro) why do you seem so frustrated. Did you forget where that woman worked? Now get rid of all that frustration. You have to listen to me, he's not going anywhere because he's the CFO at the daddy company" Zafier explained. As a friend, he tried to comfort Arsen.
Arsen looked at Zafier, he digested every word that came out of Zafier's mouth. His frustration seems to be beginning to subside. His face had returned to normal, along with the roar of his breath.
Slowly Zafier walked over to Arsen. After he stood right in front of Arsen. He held Arsen's shoulder. His face looked slightly concerned looking at Arsen. Although still with his sharp and cold gaze.
"Maarb.... (Dutch: but)", Zafier paused.
Arsen's attention was distracted by Zafier. He turned his head towards Zafier, feeling a little curious about the continuation that Zafier was going to say. His forehead is slightly wrinkled.
Zafier took a slow breath, as if he was trying to put together the right words and not hurt his best friend.
A few moments later, Zafier continued his words.
"Sorry broer's... Looks like this time you have to experience disappointment and bitterness again" said Zafier concerned.
Arsen was confused. "Alsjeblieft.... (Dutch: please) You don't convolve Zafier. Just explain directly what you mean?", Arsen seemed to be getting upset.
Zafier continued his words. "What you need to know is.. The woman, Shezan Shaziya Arshaka, was my future mother-in-law, which I told you about at that time, when I was visiting your mansion in the city of J", zafier said calmly.
Like a lightning bolt in broad daylight, such was the parable of news that Arsen heard in his ear. Arsen was immediately flabbergasted, his eyes wide open, his mouth almost gaping. He was shocked and couldn't believe what he was hearing. Arsen then sat back down on one of the chairs in the room. It was as if what he heard made him unable to stand for longer. Arsen held his head with both hands. He seemed to shake his head, frustrated. He really is not willing to accept the reality.
Arsen rubbed his face with both of his hands, taking a rough breath. He tries to focus and to control himself. After a while, he began to be able to think normally.
Inwardly, Zafier was actually feeling a little pleased. Because he felt like he had a friend as a cover, both felt the same heartbreak. But certainly until whenever he will never confess his feelings in front of Arsen.
"Because you're my best friend, I don't want you to embarrass yourself in front of Sheza, because in the future, we're going to be on this project, then you'll always see and be in touch with Sheza. You have to be in control of yourself, brother" Zafier said.
Arsen immediately felt helpless as soon as he heard Zafier's words.
"Can I step down as an investor of this project Zafier" asked arsen pleading.
"Are you sure you want to back down Arsen?", asked Zafier to confirm.
Arsen was silent as if thinking. In his brain flashed back his conversation with Zafier about the benefits they could get from this project. Arsenic massaged his forehead.
"Actually the daddy company could have been the only investor in this project. But considering you're my best friend. Besides, at that time you said that you wanted to develop the company of your missing cousin, as a form of your guilt towards your cousin. Therefore, I decided to involve you in this project especially the company is located in this city" said Zafier again.
"Aaaargha... ", Arsen beat his head slowly.
"Ah... Already broer. Come on, if you want to let go of all that burden of your mind. I'll accompany you tonight. Come with me if you want to spit out all those junk of yours. I knew you'd be looking for an escape. Come on, you come with me to the mansion. I know where you're running if your mind's as dead-end as it is now. I don't want you to go the wrong way or do something reckless" Zafier said.
Arsen did not reply, he just stared at Zafier with a pushy look.
"You know, the current condition in the city of P is not conducive. My enemy is wandering. I'm sure they're watching my every move. I don't want you to be the next target because you're close to me" Zafier said anxiously. Arsen. He walked along following Zafier.
A few moments later they had driven on the streets of the city P towards mansioan the daddy. Thirty minutes later they arrived in front of the gate of the Zaki mansion. As soon as the gate was ten meters high it opened automatically. Several bodyguards were seen taking place, standing in line and paying their respects by bending their bodies towards the vehicle that brought Zafier in. The vehicle kept speeding through the vast courtyard until they stopped right in front of the entrance of the Zaki mansion.
Their presence was welcomed by the butler in the mansion, Adolf. A man in his fifties, of Dutch descent who has been a butler at the Zaki mansion since Zafier's mommy was alive. Adolf's wife used to be Zafier's mommy's assistant, but she passed away a few years ago. They had a son who later also worked as Zaki's bodyguard. His name is Evan.
At night all the servants in the Zaki mansion must be in their respective places. The servants' residences were in a complex not too far from the main mansion. They were not allowed to roam inside the mansion, unless there was an order from the host. The only one who would remain inside the Mansion was only Adolf. As a person who trusts Zaki and the person entrusted and assigned to take care of everything in the mansion.
