Chapter 2 Turn Drama King

Taking off her blue high heels, she casually looked outside the house before stepping inside the house. Riani walked lazily while carrying her leather handbag. An old man with grey hair just stood there watching her movements from the entrance to the living room. His face was also quite cold.

"Riani.." called the old man to her. Riani quickly found the direction of the voice.

"Dad...why are you stuck there?" Riani asked after noticing his presence there. It turned out that the old man with full grey hair was his biological father, George.

"Did you just come home? What time is it?" George insisted on his only daughter. He stepped closer to Riani. Although Riani stopped by for a beer with Klara after returning from work.

"I'm sorry, Dad. I just got home from work. I'm tired.."

"Come here. I want to talk to you." George said firmly. He lazily walked into the living room before sitting down on the sofa. Riani was also there, sitting on the sofa opposite him.

"Dad...there's good news for you."

"Good news? What news is it, Dad?"

"You know the son of my friend, Charlie. He is the son of the Chairman of Daun Indah Company, Sir Benny."

"Errr..yeah? I know. What about Charlie?"

"Dad wants to marry you two from next month."

"What?!" Hearing the news made Riani's eyes widen in surprise.

Since Riani comes from a wealthy family, George uses his son to run the business by marrying his friend's son, Benny. Riani did not expect the news to be bad news for him. That is not good news!

"Dad! Why do you want me to marry him? I don't like Charlie, Dad!" Riani strongly objected to their marriage.

"Don't object to what Dad said, Riani! If you don't marry him, how can you do business with Benny? Don't try to embarrass him with your behaviour, Riani!"

"But dad...Charlie is not a good man. He..he.."

"Dad doesn't care! You two must get married next month too. Got it?!" George insisted on Riani. Then he left there on a big step up to the top floor.

"Dad!" Riani screamed, wanting to talk again. But his father had just left him.

Riani knew Charlie's real behaviour towards her before. Charlie is not the gentleman George thinks he is. Charlie is a playboy. There is no way that Riani will just agree to marry Charlie. That's impossible!

So much so that Riani deliberately worked on his own without working in his own father's company, because he wanted to feel freedom outside. Being fucked by his father all the time is not a good thing. Riani is getting more and more upset with her father's strict way of life.

Riani deserves to be loved by a man who sincerely lives with her. She wants to feel true love and happiness. Not by force like that! Riani will not let all this happen. She began to think of a solution.

The cold night soothes Azmar's tired mind after a day's work. His feet slowly moved forward into the living room cautiously. Inside the house, Azmar took off his sunglasses and his cane because he had completely memorized the location of his own house. It's been a long time since he lived there for 5 years.

But he did not live alone. He kept a white cat with thick fur on his body. Azmar takes care of him with love. As long as he lived there, a cat named Kitty always accompanied him in his quiet time. Azmar is quite happy to have Kitty by his side.

"Kitty...Kitty.." he called while listening sensitively to Kitty's movements. Some small footsteps could be heard moving quickly towards him. Azmar quickly fumbled with his hand to detect Kitty's presence.

"Kitty..you need to eat. You must be hungry, right?" He said as if talking to Kitty. Nutritious cat food has been prepared on a special plate for the pet cat. He placed the plate of food carefully on the floor.

"Eat a lot, Kitty." He ordered while gently stroking Kitty's head as she was eating. Azmar sat next to Kitty.

Knock Knock Knock!

A loud knock on the door of his house from outside surprised Azmar. A few knocks on the door startled Azmar. His ears could only hear.

"Azmar, are you in the house?" Zack's voice made Azmar quickly stand up before walking slowly towards the door. His hands also quickly touched the wall of his house. The door finally opened.

"Zack..."

"Hey, my friend. What are you doing?"

"I fed my pet cat earlier. Why did you come here, Zack?"

"I bought some cans of beer. Let's drink first." Zack invited Azmar to drink with him. Azmar accepted the invitation with a smile.

****

"Toast!" A can of beer is deliberately displayed before sipping it with pleasure. Both of them let out complaints after enjoying a beer.

"This beer is really good...I should buy it again." Zack just tasted the deliciousness of the beer. Azmar just chuckled.

"How was your work today? Everything okay?" Azmar felt strange with Zack suddenly asking for a beer at night. Zack rarely drinks alcohol.

"Okay. I have a lot of work done."

"Why do you invite me to drink beer these nights? Usually, you invite me to drink whenever you have a problem."

"Yes. I do have a problem."

"What's wrong, Zack?" Azmar, who is a loyal friend, listened to his friend's words. Zack took another sip of beer.

"I have a problem that is hard to forget.."

"Why, Zack? Is your problem that bad?"

"It's so bad.....I feel like...I want to rip out my heart and throw it in the trash." Zack expresses problems but is full of drama. Although Azmar couldn't see Zack's face now, his heart could feel that Zack had a big problem. Azmar's eyes were fluttering.

"Tell me what's wrong with you, Zack."

"Azmar, I have a very serious problem...My heart...has been stolen." He said to Azmar while holding his shoulder. Azmar frowned at hearing it.

"What?"

What does Zack mean? Has his heart been stolen? Does it involve romance or something else?
