It takes ten years for her to make a decision back in this town. A various reasons she try gave when her bestie's asked hers to move back here.
She's need time.
And time heals almost everything.
Now, here i am!
She looked at the living room which has been decorated beautifully. Calmly and peaceful.
Although this house not stately home like Willms House.
But she much more comfortable in here than there.
Willms House, there are so many memories between her and hers late father. Seeing the grounds has already made her heart grieved by sadness. She doesn't think she's able to live in it again.
Let the house be a memorial. Let it that be buried with her father's body.
Suddenly her heart was deeply saddened.
She looked at Lex, who was busy watching. She put her book before approaching Lex.
"Dear, are you having free time today?" she asked.
"Yeah, I think... why?" his eye still transfixed watch story shown.
"I'll need buy something, want go with me?" Zoe tried to tempt.
"Okay..." Lex said but his eye still on tv. Zoe grabbed the remote and shut the tv off .
"Oh please..." Lex tensed. Zoe feels resentful.
Lex sighed.
"Okay fine. Let's go..." finally his relented.
***
One hour they walk inside this mall, but still not bought anything.
Zoe stops when sees someone so familiar.
Mia!
But who's with her?
That's not her husband, Luke? is not him... right?
Zoe pulled Lex hand. Lex turned to her. She pointed to someone but Lex still not recognize because the distance between them.
"It's Mia right? but why..." Zoe looked confused. Their situation as suspicious.
"Whoa? Mia?" Lex tried to find a glimpse of Mia.
"Yes Mia, over there. It's her right? and that man is..." Zoe attempts to spy them, but then Lex pulls her hand walk towards them.
"Don't make any conclusion..." says Lex. Zoe just frowned.
"Mia! Hi..."
Mia looked speechless when see Zoe and Lex. She so surprised to see them.
"Hi Ryan.. Where's Ava?" Zoe looked around at them looking for his best friend, Ava.
Ryan also look surprise but try as he can to hide it his feeling. He just smiles to Zoe and avoid her question, then greet Lex.
"What's happen?" Lex whispered to Ryan.
"We just..." Ryan looked unsure of what to say.
Zoe looks to Ryan and Lex full sense of suspicious. Lex gives Zoe sign with his eyes to behave herself. Suddenly Mia phone rings. All of them looked to Mia. Mia startled.
"Excuse me..." Mia asks permission to walks out from them.
Hey, that's Luke!
Luke look around when hear someone call him. When his saw Lex waved at him with Zoe and Ryan, he looks so surprised. With a smile his comes to them. But, a person behind him adds more confusion for them.
"Hey Lex, what are you doing in here?" Luke greets Lex and embraced him warmly.
"Hi Zoe, Ryan you also here?" Luke asked calm.
Ryan looks speechless but tries to hide it again with smile. But then his smile faded when sees someone behind Luke. Zoe looks to Lex and muttered something under her breath. But Lex still boasts casually.
"Ava? Why are you so late, darling?" Ryan pretended to ask. Ava look surprised with that question, blinking seeks answer.
"Yes darling. I'm so sorry for being late. Have something have to solved before come here. But..." says Ava but Zoe still doubted it.
"Hey Zoe! When you come back? How dare you don't give me any calls?" Ava tries to control situation. She was the best actress among them. Zoe knew about it.
"Ow, ya... I'm so sorry..." says Zoe.
"When you back?" Ava asked.
They knew about news Lex and Zoe want move to this town but them just don't expect so fast.
"What! two days already!" Ava feels resentful.
"Wait, Where's Mia?" Zoe tries to change topic.
"Mia? She was here?" Luke asked. Zoe stunned with the question. She feels awry. She glanced to Lex seek helps. Lex gives Zoe warning with his eye to stay and keep quiet.
"Yes, but before she answers a call" explained Lex. Luke just nodded.
From eyes and his body language, Lex knew Luke had something to tell him.
"Zoe! Don't change the topic. Why you don't tell me? Do you want try to give us a surprise?" Ava asked again but Zoe still tries to avoid that question. When they busy argue with each other.
Ryan and Luke gazed with each other with full suspicious.
Lex feels uneasy.
What exactly has happened?
What should he do right now?
***
"Nita, have any message for me?" she asked her assistants.
"No, but you have appointment with Miss Bella tomorrow" told Nita.
"Okay, I'll know that. Have anything else?" Mia asked.
"For now, that's all..." says Nita.
"Don't make any meeting or guest for me today. Get it?" she gave the orders.
"Yes, understood." said Nita.
Mia walks into her room and closes the door. She seat on her chairs and breathe in.
"What should I do?" she asked herself.
Suddenly the beep message is ringing.
Where are you?
Did you know your hubby is here and he with my wife?
What is going on?
***
Lex leaning on couches watching tv, while Zoe busy in the kitchen.
Sometime he glanced at the kitchen watching Zoe who's busy prepared dinner.
"Dinner time!" Zoe shouts from the kitchen.
"Coming!" Lex shut the tv off before walked to dining table.
"Wow, look delicious. Yummy..." Lex try to gives compliments.
"Of course..." Zoe sat facing Lex.
She look at Lex who's excited taste the food, while she was just playing with her food.
"Don't you think they look so weird, today?" Zoe asked.
"Who's?" Lex asked before taking his tissue to wipe mouth.
"Them..."
"Ryan, Luke, Mia, Ava. It is look they are hiding something. Don't you feel that too?" Zoe feel curious about them. She doesn't like this feeling. Uneasy.
"Honey please. Don't make any conclusion. You don't know what really happen. Their story entirely. Let them go. On the right time and the right place you will know later. From now, just let them to settle it. And you, let worried about your new workplace..."
"When will you start?" Lex put the spoon and looked at Zoe. Waiting for her answered.
"Next week. There are many things that need to be managed before that. This house is still a lot that needs to be tidy and cleaned. We are too hasty, right? Moving. New home, new office, new environment..."
"Look! Our luggage is still disorganized. For all these boxes. Oh my! Think of that, already makes me feel so tired..." Zoe sighed.
"Don't get too depressed. Take your time, do it slowly. I will help you.." Lex tried to persuade.
"Our stuff is too much to handle it. Sometimes... I'd think we need maid." told Zoe.
"What? No!"
"I don't like stranger touch my stuff. If you don't want, I'll can handle it alone. But for maid the answer is..."
"No!" Lex insists.
"I just said it, don't be angry. I'll do that all things tomorrow" Zoe sulking.
"I'm not angry. I'm also just said it..." told Lex.
"Oh yeah? Are you sure?" Zoe rolled her eyes. Annoying.
Lex just let her be and continue eat his dinners.
"Oh my! Why I'll married a man who so fussy?" Zoe muttered.
"What!" Lex looks her with bitterness
Zoe phone suddenly rang.
"Yes dear. What? Tomorrow morning? Where? Ok, no problem. See you tomorrow..." Zoe end the conversation.
"Who's that?" Lex asked curious.
"Are you jealous?" question was answered with the question making Lex annoying. Zoe just smile happily.
"Ava called. She asks me to hang out with her tomorrow." told Zoe.
"Oh, but how about that things, honey?" Lex point to luggage and boxes inside the corner.
"Oh my!" she almost forgot about her words just now
"Dear, can you..." Zoe try to seduce Lex but suddenly Lex get up from his seat.
"No! You gotta do it by yourself..." Lex said while laughed and go away.
"Oh My! Lex! How dare you!" Zoe grumbles alone.
