9 Requests for Love

face up to problems

Sometimes in talking about something it takes the right moment and the right time. And Zia had always waited for that time, but it seemed like it was time to urge her to tell everything. Zia had been trying to talk about it, but it was not that easy to talk about something that would hurt others. If he talks about it will definitely be a burden of mind for Razik and if not sooner or later razik will find out too. Moreover, ummi sounds angry at this time and Zia thinks that is what makes ummi angry. Zia was engrossed in her own thoughts, occasionally she glanced at the razik and asked in her heart.

"Do I have to say it now"

Zia shook her own head then threw her gaze out the window.

"But when will it be again. What if ummi gets angry because of it, surely he will know also from ummi later. Well, how is this???"

Zia was fighting with herself.

"Yes I have to say"

Zia glanced at the razik again, she saw the razik was so calm.I guess she really did not want to burden Razik at this time, she undoed her intentions again. Zia threw her body in the car seat and let out a frustrated sigh.

"What if that's not what the ummi wants to talk about? I could have added to the problem"

Razik stopped his car and glanced at Zia with question marks.

"Is there anything we need to talk about?"

Zia bit her lower lip, a sign she was nervous.

"Of course, I doubt I should talk about it or not"

"Then don't talk about it"

Hearing that Zia glanced at Razik

"You doubtful thing that disturbs your heart better not do it until you feel sure"

"Why is that so"

Razik smiled

"The color you may regret"

Razik stepped on the gas pedal again. Half the way they had been through meant that it had been more than an hour they passed the road and for the first time Zia did not sleep in the car.

Razik is so cool with his drive but that doesn't mean he doesn't pay attention to Zia. He can feel Zia's anxiety, he knows his wife is keeping a secret, even though he wants to know it but the razik still tries not to force Zia. He was sure, if Zia was able to do it, she would be honest and Razik would wait for Zia to speak for herself.

During the trip they were so frugal to talk, just earlier when it stopped and now they have arrived at the door of the ummi house. Razik had already let go of her safety belt getting ready to come out while Zia was still thinking about the problem that kept bothering her.

"Should I tell you?" Inner Zia

"Dw..."

"Dum"

Zia glanced at Razik who called out to her.

"Rare you sure you don't want to talk about it?"

Zia fell silent, then nodded in doubt. Actually there is a sense of disappointment in Razik's heart because Zia has not been open to him.

"Okay, then let's get down"

When he wanted to intervene Zia swiftly grabbed Razik's hand. Razik who sensed that immediately looked at Zia expectantly Zia would tell him.

"I'll tell you"

Razik smiled so thinly that it was not so visible. Razik closed his car again and confirmed his position again, now he is ready to listen to Zia.

"Ummi knows you're still dating Syifa mas"

Razik. Like a thief caught.

"Ummi was monitoring us during our honeymoon. And when we ran into Syifa in the hotel lobby, ummi was there, she saw everything"

Razik felt more guilty, he could imagine ummi must have followed him there and razik also sure ummi must know and see more than that.

Razik slammed his heavy head on the car seat, his eyes closed imagining everything he might know about him, he could not imagine how disappointed he was.

Zia followed silently to see Razik's silence. He knows very well the character of Razik, Razik is the type of person who is calm in dealing with problems, he said, he is a warm person and likes to joke but if he is angry and in a state of distress he will turn into a snowman. For razik in facing problems is to find a solution. It could be said that this was the same between Zia and razik, they were both calm in facing the problem, only Zia was a little more realistic and could cover it up, she said, another with a razik who fretted in his silence and will feel clearly the change in his nature.

"I'm sorry to ask you"

"I'm sorry I talked about it" too"

They threw their breath out violently as if they wanted to throw away the burden that was falling on their hearts.

"I think ummi wants to talk about this mas"

"Yes I think so"

For a moment they fell silent, thinking of a way to quell the anger of the ummi.

"Let's go in"

Zia was shocked to hear the razik's call

"He got the solution?"

Inner Zia.

"We've arrived on the battlefield, at least we're listening to what the enemy wants right now"

"It seems he knows the solution"

Inner Zia, she was relieved to hear that Razik could already make a joke. It means his heart is starting to improve.

"Yes. Because the more we avoid the ummi anger will increase. Calm down Ummi will only be angry at me because this is my fault. Whatever it is, I'll take the consequences"

"You sure?"

Razik nodded

"What if ummi tells you to decide Syifa tonight as well?"

Razik who wanted to get out of the car stopped again. He doesn't believe that could happen.

"Yes at least more will be on your side. Doesn't that make you happy"

It's possible that Zia will be happy but she doesn't quite accept Razik's words.

"Why did you make me such a bad person. You are the wrong one here"

Zia got out of the car and left the raid. The regret on Zia's face was obvious, Razik who did not mean to offend his wife made her feel guilty.

Razik is chasing Zia.

"Zi wasn't what I meant"

Zia's move came to a halt as Razik intercepted her in front.

"Then what?"

"I mean, your wishes and ummi are the same so you will definitely support each other"

"O so I thought me and ummi would conspire to separate you from the syifa, right?"

"Not, it's just...."

"What is it?"

Razik fell silent, and glanced at Zia frustratedly.

"Why is it so hard to face an angry woman"

Inner razik.

"What mas? So afraid that you will separate from Syifa. Just relax, if you still want to be with her I can help you to maintain your relationship"

"How is it?"

Said razik without his guilt, while Zia's chest was tight. He used to be so used to hearing Razik with Syifa, even hearing Razik say that he loved Syifa, but now his heart is so crowded even if Razik mentions the woman's name. He starts to be selfish and wants to have Razik like he should be a wife.

"I'm retreating. I'll tell ummi that I'm the one who should be backing down"

"Why do you have to do that?"

"So we're both happy"

"You sure you're happy to let me go?"

Zia was silent, because in her heart of course she would not be happy.

"Why laugh?"

Razik could no longer bear his laughter. Seeing the innocence of Zia, it felt like he wanted to continue judging his wife without realizing Zia was so hurt.

"Without you being so innocent?"

Seeing him still laughing made him feel like a fool. Zia's tears just melted away despite trying to be dammed by him. Razik was speechless seeing Zia's falling tears.

"You always thought I was a joke, right?"

"Not so...."

Zia passed the raid just like that, Razik could not accept and immediately pulled Zia into his arms. Zia who was shocked was unable to twitch and enjoyed the warmth of Razik's embrace.

"Why should you back off? We have to fight together, right?"

Zia nodded slowly, Razik's warmth made her heart so weak and honest, that her tears could not be weathered anymore.

"It turns out my Zia's pretty whiny"

Razik wiped away Zia's falling tears.

"Let's go in, we'll face ummi and about Syifa, didn't I say between me and Syifa it has to end"

Razik's words became the antidote to Zia's anxiety, Zia's smile began to expand.

Without them knowing ummi has become a melodrama audience since then.

"Ummi since when was there?"

Zia approached ummi and hugged her warmly.

"Ummi kangen"

"Ummi also misses you. It seems ummi doesn't need to be angry anymore"

Zia let go of her embrace and smiled broadly at ummi while nodding in agreement. Razik stared at Ummi with guilt.

"Let's go in, you guys need to rest"

Zia and Razik follow the Ummi order.
