Chapter 30

Zara's POV
I started to think about things that were not right after getting that silly question from Zena. Feeling that there was something I didn't know about my parents' plan. Was my mother really pro to Doctor Leo? But since when? Even though they just met yesterday afternoon. Did that short meeting make Mom fall in love with Doctor Leo? I started to feel a happy feeling gathering in my heart. Feeling happy for some reason. Instantly changing my facial expression to be more radiant.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
"Huh?" I was shocked.
"Look, Mom, Zara is smiling to herself like a crazy person."
"Hush! It's not good to talk like that." Mom said to break it up.
Luckily, Mom didn't prolong it by questioning me, who suddenly beamed like this. Even I couldn't control myself. Feeling happy was enough. Yes, it seems like I'm starting to be interested in Doctor Leo. I can't deny this and I... Like there's a big urge to express my love. Huh?
"Zara, you're just daydreaming. Do you feel any pain in your body?"
"Huh? No ma'am." I started to come to my senses.
Then Doctor Leo came to visit me with Ismaya. I felt numb and how stiff I was. When I was thinking about it, suddenly he came with a charming appearance. He still had his trademark, namely his sweet smile that made me feel melted instantly.
"Zara, are you better?" Ismaya asked.
"Umm, not bad."
"That's good."
Doctor Leo just smiled looking at me while nodding. I saw a strange expression on my mother's face. Her expression changed to be fresher after Doctor Leo's presence. I felt more and more suspicious. My mother had indeed planned something for me and Doctor Leo. Ghost .... My heart was beating very hard.
After a few minutes passed, my father came with Orion. Huh Orion? Why did he come here again? Made my mood immediately drop. Where I had just felt a feeling of flowering because Doctor Leo came to visit me. Eh, this is actually my father bringing that unclear Orion.
Zena seemed to start smiling. She glanced at me and also glanced one by one at Doctor Leo and Orion. I felt increasingly awkward and embarrassed. But Zena seemed to be teasing me now. Ismaya was even suspicious of our behavior. She seemed to be able to read my thoughts with Zena.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Asked Ismaya.
Making everyone in this room make Zena and I the focus of attention. It seemed strange with the unusual gazes directed at me. I started to run out of words and didn't know what to do. Meanwhile, the annoying and still innocent Zena laughed out loud.
“Hahaha.."
Making everyone in this room feel even stranger and amazed.
"What's wrong?" Asked my father flatly.
I just kept quiet. Hoping that Zena wouldn't just blurt out something like that. It would be dangerous if she just blurted out something and revealed everything. But....
"They're both here." While raising both of her eyebrows.
I was shocked because of my sister's behavior.
Suddenly making everyone even more confused. But Ismaya began to be able to read the message in Zena's words again.
"Oh." Ismaya nodded while smiling a little giggling.
I swallowed my saliva deeply.
Meanwhile, my father, mother, Doctor Leo, and Orion were still confused. As for Ismaya and Zena, they glanced at each other while smiling. I really felt embarrassed and couldn't control my gaze. My eyes became blurry and I felt uncomfortable with this situation.
"Oh yeah, I brought something for you." Orion gave me a fruit parcel.
I felt confused when I had to accept it.
"Just put it on the table!" I said flatly.
"Zara!" Dad gave an unpleasant gesture.
I could only stay silent and look at Doctor Leo's uncomfortable expression. I felt like I was in a confusing position now.
I was sure that Doctor Leo had something in his heart for me. It could be seen from his expression and the unusual sparkle in his eyes.
"Zena, can I have the oranges?"
"Uh, of course." Orion was a little flustered.
"Zena, that's for your sister." My father widened his eyes a little.
Zena, who was about to take it, changed her mind.
"It's okay, Zena, if you want to take it, just take it?" I said.
Zena was enthusiastic again and took it without hesitation even though she glanced at Dad first.
"Oh yeah, Doc, I'll excuse myself to go back to work. Because I already have an agenda with the others." Doctor Leo excused himself. It seemed like he felt awkward being here and it felt foreign to him.
"Emm, why are you in such a hurry? But let's get on with the job!"
"I'll excuse myself to go out too." Ismaya joined in.
But unfortunately, Orion was still comfortable here. Dad made him stay here for a long time. Making me feel annoyed and suddenly dizzy again. It seemed like something was wrong with my blood pressure. I started to rest again and was peeled fruit by mom. As for Orion, he was still chatting with my dad in this room. I really wanted to kick him out of here as soon as possible. But he didn't seem to understand that I wanted to rest and didn't want to be disturbed by his presence in this place.
My mother glanced at me as if she could read my mind. Then glanced at Orion. But what could she do? My mother couldn't kick him out because apparently she was always afraid of my father. So we could only surrender and wait for him to leave this place on his own. Even though I was so sick of Orion. But he didn't realize it. He was even more engrossed in my dad.
My father is also too selfish and can't read his daughter's mind. I started to feel threatened. Could it be that my father wants to match me with Orion? Moreover, Orion's father and his parents have been close friends for a long time. I became increasingly anxious thinking about this. Because I don't want that to happen to me. It feels like the world will end if that happens. I have to prevent all of that from happening just like that.
I have to avoid him a lot and even make him feel disgusted until he distances himself. But... How do I do it? What will make Orion stay away from me easily? If my father really wants to match me with Orion then I'm doomed. Yes, I'm doomed for the rest of my life. Because I, even my mother and us at home, will not be able to oppose my father's decision for anything.
For that, I hope for a miracle so that Orion is no longer interested in approaching me. Anyway, I have to find an idea as soon as possible so that my bad thoughts don't happen in my life. I will start to strategize all of this so that it doesn't really come true.
