A woman slapped the man standing in front of her stern. Enough to make all the visitors stare at the two of them. A woman named Zeline caught her lover, Bagas, having an affair with a woman whose Zeline did not know in a cafe not far from his office.
"Three days, hard to contact, and always avoiding. Is this what you did?" Zeline accused the native sweet-faced man.
The man snorted and looked at Zeline with disdain. "You should be in the mirror. Why am I doing all this." Zeline stared at him with emotion. Bagas continued, "I'm a man who not only needs love. I'm a normal man who wants satisfaction more than love. You're just wasting my time, abnormal and strange woman. I regret the fact that I was your boyfriend!"
One more, a hard slap landed on Bagas' cheek as rewarded by Zeline. Zeline's face flushed with high emotion. "Get out of here! We're breaking up!" said Zeline.
"That's what I want. You crazy woman!" swore Bagas, then immediately left the cafe, holding the sexy woman next to him.
Fortunately, the cafe was not that crowded, and only a few people were there. Zeline was pulled to sit by Mesya, one of her best friends. Mesya handed Zeline Ice Lemon Tea.
Incidents like this are not the first time for Zeline. The fourth incident, this time in the last two years. Her love story always ends tragically. Pathetic.
><><><><
At that time, Zeline and her three friends, Mesya, Fini, and Vera, promised to get together to release their homesickness after two weeks of being busy with their respective jobs.
Mesya, a slender beautiful woman, has long black hair and now works as her fiancé, Pradipta, a famous cafe & restaurant entrepreneur who has branches throughout Indonesia?
Fini, a sexy woman with long blonde hair, is a nightclub entrepreneur in several big cities in Indonesia. This woman who often changes partners loves travelling to various countries.
Vera, an acute, dimpled woman, is now getting close to a conglomerate son.
Zeline Zakeisha, a beautiful, well-proportioned woman with pure white skin, works as an MUA (Makeup Artist) and occasionally becomes a freelance model. A love story that has never been successful has always been an accompaniment to the story of a Zeline's life.
As a real example, what just happened was Bagas. For the last five months, the man who was in love with Zeline was having an affair. Not only Bagas but Gilang, Amar and Haris, are a line of Zeline's ex who had an experience.
><><><><
"Calm down, Babe!" Mesya calmed Zeline, who had just burst out with emotions and was humiliated by her ex.
Yes. Ex. Because that very second, Zeline cut off their relationship. Dammit!
"Zel, please. Don't spend your time with stupid men like them!" Vera wagged her index finger from right to left.
"Your boyfriend is always boring!" sneered Fini with a cigarette on her lips.
"Shut up! Oh, Shit! I love Bagas!" Zeline covered her face with her palms.
Mesya snorted, "Save your tears. You don't deserve to cry over that cheating man. You can get a much better man."
"A man with a common face and a very ordinary job with the courage to break my best friend's heart, fuck!" swore Vera.
"But I'm so curious. What did Bagas mean earlier?" Fini's question succeeded in making Zeline looks at all the eyes of her best friend.
"Yes, I'm so curious too! Why could he say that to you? Tell Us!"
"Something as disgraceful as this will surely make them all laugh at it."
Zeline was, though.Fini, Mesya, Vera is waiting for Zeline's answer. They looked at Zeline's face with curious faces.
"Hey! I'm not telling you to daydream, Zel!" said Fini annoyed, waiting.
Zeline took a deep breath before giving answers to her friends. "Because ... Because—"Zeline bit her lip deeply.
Mesya interrupted, "Because of what? Don't make me curious."
"He’s asking for sex! I can’t!” Just like what Zeline imagined, the three friends burst into laughter at her answer.
Mesya eased her laughter. “Yeah, the capital’s virgin.”
“It must be because of your phobia. But, this time, I agree to your refusal, Zel, to all of them,” continued Mesya.
“I can already imagine the size of Bagas, Gilang, Amar, or Haris sausages.” Vera acted as if she vomited something up.
“Short and unsatisfactory. Oh, Shit! But the right choice ignores their invitation. You will not be satisfied, babe!” Fini added Vera’s words.
“I don’t like local products,” Fini muttered.
“Some of the local produce has the size of a long gun, bitch! Are you looking down on mine?” Mesya protested.
Vera nodded in agreement with Mesya’s words.
“Ah, never mind. I hate men!” softly Zeline.
“What ...?!” said the three friends together.
“Don’t tell me you want to be a lesbian!”
“Shit! Big No!” swore Zeline.
“Heartbreak makes you crazy,” said Fini.
~.~.~.~
Zeline sculpted her face in the mirror. She just washed her face. It took nearly fifteen hours to sleep. Heartbroken made her cancel all the works. That woman prefers sleep to work.Zeline can't stop thinking, why do men only think about sex in their head during a relationship with someone.
A moment of silence greeted Zeline. It has been nearly five years, Zeline chose to live in a luxury apartment alone. Zeline is the eldest of two siblings, and she has a younger brother who is currently studying in Singapore. At the same time, her parents are nomadic, depending on their business being built in which city or country, that's where they will settle.Today was so tiring for Zeline. She had to do make-up for three clients in three different pl
A man wearing a grey suit sits on his oversized chair. One hand tapped OMAS - GAIA HIGH LUXURY, a pen worth approximately 338 million, onto his desk. He looks so severe, staring at his MacBook screen.Steven reported that all information regarding his identity had been cleared from cyberspace last night. Ricard must give a thumbs-up to the best hacker Steven knows. It’s not useless; Ricard paid a heavy price. 
‘FINALLY’Zeline was making nimble brush strokes on someone's smooth face. Because at this time, she is focused on dressing up as a rising top singer. Her name is soaring in the world of Indonesian music. Zeline is believed to polish her beautiful face to make it even more
Zeline is now sitting pretty in a cafe in the area around Seminyak. She orders her favourite lemon ice tea. The light brown-haired woman is waiting for her old friend who happens to be the owner of the cafe she visited. They had promised to meet and miss when Zeline has free time in Bali.After ten minutes of waiting, finally, Bagus, the cafe owner, and Zeline's old friend came over. They spent their time chatting, and Zeline came to delive
Ricard is not the fierce and cold boss like most stories in the novel. He is a leader who is friendly to his employees, although not excessive. He always replied to the greetings that employees gave him.But today was so different. Ricard smiled wider than usual. Take a leisurely walk showing off his neat white teeth. The women who work in his office who happen to be in the lobby immediately hold on, so they don't fall because they are weak, seeing the charm of his big boss, which is often the level of his good looks.Their CEO today looks so happy. Steven, who saw him, immediately chased Ricard to get into the same elevator."Good morning, Steven!" said Ricard first with a cheerful smile.Steven raised an eyebrow, quite curious about what makes Ricard look so happy."You seem very cheerful this morning," said Steven.Ricard straightened his forehead and stared at his face reflected in the glass of the elevator while stroking his chin."Monday, of
Zeline focuses on dinner and preparations for the impromptu wedding of Mesya and her fiance. Tonight at Mesya's house, a dinner was held before the next day the wedding ceremony hold.Mesya is going to get married, but Zeline is feeling down. Mesya's mother stood beside Zeline, watching every movement of the workers back and forth, arranging Mesya's backyard for a place to eat."Zel, you don't work?" asked Rani, Mesya's mother.Zeline turned her head and looked at the middle-aged woman who looked beautiful and fashionable next to her."I'm not an office worker, auntie. So whenever I want to take a day off, I can. Besides, I can't bear to see aunt busy alone taking care of this," Zeline replied sincerely."You are the best, Zel. Thank you. Oh yes, where are Fini and Vera?""Fini is in a meeting with her client. Vera also has a schedule that can't be canceled. But tonight, they will come here.""It's better for aunt to come in, rest. Auntie needs ext
Instantly, a group of women who have guests of Mesya and Pradipta disbanded. The sweet scene that a handsome man does for a beautiful woman makes them all insecure.Now, only Zeline and Fello stood face to face. Zeline thought she was only dreaming, but it turned out that this was all a reality. One of her hands was holding a bouquet of red roses, and the other was having by Fello. Yes, Fello!The man she met through the online dating app was right in front of her face. Zeline still had trouble speaking, and her throat was choked. Her brain was still having trouble thinking. Until finally, Fello brought her back to reality."Are you okay, Zel?" Fello stroked the back of Zeline's hand gently.Zeline stared at the hand that Fello was stroking. She prayed to herself that Fello would not hear her rumbling heartbeat. But, it seemed that her prayers are ineffective."Zeline Zakeisha. Hello, are you there?" Fello called out to her again.This time, Zeline was
One whole week Ricard was in Indonesia. His arrival in Indonesia was to get acquainted with all members of the Zeline extended family. Zeline and Ricard and their families agreed to have a wedding in New York. Because the requirements for inter-state marriage management are so convoluted in Indonesia, they chose New York as a place to say holy vows before God.Ricard has also gradually learned to speak Indonesian because maybe at any time, he will return to Zeline's homeland, and he already understands what the other Zeline extended family are talking about.While in Indonesia, Zeline still took the time to consult a psychiatrist who handled her phobia. She got the good news. Her dread was gradually disappearing after doing routine therapy some time ago.Ricard, who knew the news, was also excited to welcome their wedding day, which was unique. He will spend the first night with his wife, still a virgin—Ricard's pride.~.~.~.~Zeline asks Ricard to gra
No one will ever know about God's secretsFate leads you to meet your soul mate~BebbyShin~***Surprises that made Ricard and Zeline startled were given by their parents. Previously, Jessie, Ricard's mother, came to Jakarta to meet a woman who is often the subject of her socialite gangs. She was also consumed by Lidya's words regarding the lover of Ricardo Fello Daniello, her beloved son.The past matchmaking failure became an experience for Jessie in choosing her future daughter-in-law. She did not want to choose a future wife for her son carelessly. Women nowadays are only concerned with wealth and luxury life. She does not want to be fooled by a woman from just her social status and appearance.Jessie is quite surprised when she finds out how Ricard met Zeline, an Asian woman whose son now claims to be his girlfriend. Ricard's determination to pay a hacker a fortune erased all of his data from being traced on the Internet to register with an interna
Zeline and Ricard's feet stepped into the hotel ballroom, which was so big, majestic, and luxurious. All the ornaments there were filled with white roses and tulips. Zeline was so impressed by the luxury presented at the silver wedding of Uncle Hendrik and Auntie Jasmine.They both are businessmen who are also of the wealthiest people in Indonesia. They are both relatively close to the Zeline family, considering that the couple does not have children but does not want to adopt someone else's child. They prefer to have several orphanages in Indonesia scattered throughout the area.Fortunately, Zeline and Ricard chose to wear evening dresses when invited to meet Jacobs and Marina, who are Zeline's parents. Zeline looked around her, not knowing much or even almost all the guests Zeline didn't know. But not with Ricard. That man greeted his colleague several times who were also there."This place is prepared up so beautifully and magnificently," muttered Zeline."Our
Ricard's car turned towards the hotel lobby parking lot to the place Zeline’s father had determined. Zeline did not know the purpose of her father having a stern talk there. Ricard was chosen to come to accompany his girlfriend to meet his future father-in-law.Zeline pressed her cell phone to her ear. She called her papa to ask his whereabouts.Restaurant. Her papa spoke that word, and Zeline hurried to meet her parents.Zeline's parents were seen sitting next to each other and having a serious conversation when Zeline walked over to their table."You've finally arrived," said Jacobs when he saw Zeline standing not far from his desk.That night Jacobs was seen wearing a luxurious batik in black, brown, and gold. Meanwhile, Marina wears a maroon-colored kebaya and combines gold with a red songket that is typical of Indonesia."Sorry to make Mama and Papa wait for so long. Ah-well, why are you looking so formal tonight?" asked Zeline."Well, s
Ricard woke up first when his penthouse bell rang. He felt the cellphone on the nightstand beside his bed. Ricard glanced at what time it was, 09:14 local time. He picked up the boxer who lay helplessly on the floor due to his massage activities last night. Before opening the door, the man looked down and kissed Zeline's forehead, who was still sound asleep.It is unusual for the penthouse to have guests in the morning like this. Nobody else visited there often except Steven and some of his assistants for work.Ricard clicked on the intercom to see who had come before opening the door. The man has his back to the camera so that only his back is visible. Ricard didn't want to bother. He thought it was Steven. Casually and without thinking anything nonsense, Ricard pressed the password and opened the penthouse door to usher in his guest."Phewwh ... you finally opened the door," exclaimed the man who succeeded in making Ricard's eyes widen in surprise and flinched.
"I miss you so much, honey," said Ricard."Me too," said Zeline.Both of them are now in the Ricard penthouse. After their conversation, Ricard invited Zeline to move all of his suitcases in the hotel to his penthouse.They plan to meet Ricard's parents and talk about their future and choices. Ricard did not think his mother would be that close to looking for Zeline's whereabouts. It is not tricky for Daniello's family to find out the identity and everything in this world, so it is only natural that Ricard’s mother can quickly get information about Zeline."I don't know what I would have become without you," Ricard said honestly.Zeline laughed and stroked Ricard's jaw. The man she had missed for almost the past month. She thought it would be easy to forget Ricard with the various activities and work, but it did not affect her.She fell in love with Ricard. A handsome man who has power is very wealthy and a reliable enforcer. Currently, Zeline is
Fini is sitting on the sofa in Steven's apartment. The woman has been permitted to access it. While waiting for Steven to come home from work, she took the initiative to rest her body, getting tired quickly.Zeline forced Fini to talk clearly with Steven. She was looking for the best way out of this thing that had already happened. Last night she was filled with disappointment and emotion, so she couldn't think clearly when she told Steven. There is no agreement whatsoever regarding the baby in her womb. Either it will be thrown away, or it will be preserved.From her seat, she could look at the vast city of New York, which is filled with skyscrapers that were not so different from her country's capital city, Jakarta. Fini stroked her flat stomach gently. She was nervous about throwing away the baby of her statusless relationship with Steven.But, she was not ready to have children. Even if people say it is cruel or even murderous, human principles are different. Fort
"Are you Zeline Zakeisha?" asked a middle-aged woman with a beautiful face who looked so classy when Zeline attended a dinner at a big event after dressing the first lady in Indonesia.Zeline stared at the beautiful middle-aged woman from toe to head. There is no flaw at all. Everything looks so perfect."Yes, I'm Zeline. Sorry, who are you?" Zeline asked kindly."I'm Jessie, mother of Ricardo Fello Daniello. You know him, don't you?" said Jessie flat but coldly.Zeline gasped in place. She didn't expect to meet her future mother-in-law here and tonight. Why did Ricard not tell her if his mother was coming to Indonesia? Ah, or maybe Ricard was giving her his usual surprise.Zeline looked right and left to find Ricard. That man is hiding and lets her chat with his mother directly like this."Of course, I know him. Nice to meet, Mrs. Jessie," said Zeline kindly.A small but disparaging smile appeared on Jessie's face, making Zeline think Ricard
Four days before Zeline and Fini's departure for New York!I want to kill myself!Fini wrote in a group chat that she was immediately questioned by her friends, including Zeline. That woman, who is currently busy preparing for her cosmetic brand, rarely gets together and talks with her friends, whether via cellphone or in person.Fini's writing was undoubtedly able to lure her three other friends to join the group chat.What do you mean?Don't be crazy, Fini!It's not an April mop. Your jokes aren't funny!We are not getting that guy's husband's giant sausage. What makes you this frustrated?My clients are currently handsome foreigners. You can choose them.Don't die by suicide. Your sins will pile up. God will not forgive you.Hear what a nun-like Zeline says!There is no more answer from Fini for the babble of her three friends. Fini's disappearance makes Zeline nervous and her two other friends, Mesya and Vera.Zeline gl
