9 Requests for Love

the remaining choice

zia's heart was pumping blood faster, making her chest feel tight. All of their conversations this morning had only scratched the wound in her heart.

Zia vented all her anger at the tray on the table. The tray containing breakfast for Zia who had just been delivered by the sisters fell scattered on the floor because Zia deliberately brushed it off.

hearing the commotion, Maira who was already standing in front of the door of Zia's nursery went straight in and found the room messy with scattered porridge. Maira looked at Zia who was hugging her knees and buried her face there. He approached his friend carefully.

"Zi lo kenpaa?"

Zia did not quote at least felt a vibration in Zia's body that hinted she was sobbing at this time.realizing Zia is not okay maira hugged him warmly, hugging him warmly, although not much help but can calm Zia's heart a little. Zia raised her head, her cheeks were soaked in tears. Zia slowly calmed her heart, took a deep breath and then tried to move her lips, she really wanted to share with her best friend.

"Mai Razik asked me to marry him"

Maira was shocked plus confused

"didn't Zia love Razik? then why is he even sad about Razik's wishes? is it true that Zia hated Razik for the Adit incident?" maira's mind stared at Zia with confusion that emanated clearly on her face.

"keep on why you're sad. Lo love someone else?

Zia nodded

"he just wants to destroy me Mai. he said we have to divorce after one year of marriage because he wants to get married and continue his life with Syifa doang not me"

it was a shock that Maira heard Zia's expression, even she who heard it felt hurt not to mention Zia who was experiencing it.

"gue is just a tool for him to get out of this problem"

"then you....accept?"

"what choice do I have Mai? I also know how our family is right now and all that because of the problems I caused myself"

Zia held all the tightness in her chest, not a marriage that hurt Zia, but a planned divorce before the marriage was carried out.

"Zi you're sure of fate, right?"

Zia was just speechless, of course she believed in fate, but why was her destiny so bad?!

"lo also know that not a single event has happened but it has been determined by God even, the fall of a leaf has been determined by Him, because that is whatever you are experiencing at this time, this is destiny"

"continue to be a widow is also my destiny?"

"that hasn't happened Zi"

"but Razik has already planned it Mai!"

"one year Zi, Lo has one year.one year it is not a short time, there are still many things that can happen.just God just throw his heart out so he is crazy about you"

Zia was stunned to hear Maira's words, Maira had a point but could she hold Razik's heart, I don't know, just hearing it was too complicated.

"but it's not that easy Mai"

"Zi Lo believes in me, Lo can definitely melt Razik's heart in one year"

although heavy, Zia could only nod listening to the support from Maira.

"everything feels heavy because you just think about the bad things doang. Now try deh lo change your mindset, see the good possibilities that you will get if married to him. you have found Diazia to conquer his heart"

the words that had just come out of Maira's lips managed to hypnotize Zia. as if there was a cool breeze brushed off the uneasiness in her heart.

"now the best decision for Lo and Razik is indeed marriage.so you better accept Razik's invitation with good intentions. and God willing, many good things will be present in this good intention"

now a smile was already able to be present on Zia's lips, albeit thin.

"thank you Mai, always be there for me"

"huuuhhhh hug"

Zia poured into Maira's arms. The two friends were now like telepathically hugging.

**************

as planned by Razik, their marriage was very simple and there was not even a little makeup on Zia's face and their marriage was held in the hospital because Zia had not been allowed to leave the hospital. their marriage was attended only by those who needed to, only the two parents, the ruler, the witness and also Maira. Zia's heart is actually about seeing her marriage so makeshift, she also wants to marry like other people's marriages.

"how are the witnesses, legitimate?"

"legitimate"

they said simultaneously, there was a sense of relief but there was a sense of pity that was how the people who witnessed their marriage.while Zia felt her chest tight because she remembered Razik's words.

"we're getting divorced after a year"

"o Allah, I leave the story of my life to You, and I hang all my hopes to You. I'll take on the role you've given me wholeheartedly and whatever the end result I'm advertising it" inner zia

tears flowed down Zia's cheeks, but she was quickly wiped off before anyone else could see her. But losing fast to Razik's gaze, seeing the tears flowing down Zia's cheeks made her feel guilty. He was aware that the words he had spoken to Zia were extremely cruel, yet his ego always denied that.

"what I'm wrong is not considering Zia's feelings, but this is all happening because of her mistake just try if she does not take off my shirt not going to be like this story, but I promise Zi, but I promise Zi, I'm sure she's not going to take off my shirt, I won't touch you without any love in my heart and I'll take good care of you"

inner Razik.

their marriage began very simply and ended very simply, so that no one knew that there had been a marriage there. Now the witnesses have left only the parents and also Maira.

"Thank God the marriage is over, hopefully the problem is also over"

said mami.

"yes, hopefully yes"

Ummi tightened Abi's grip.

"Zia don't be sad about this simple wedding because we're going to make a big wedding"

Zia and Razik were stunned to hear Ummi's words.

"no Ummi, the important thing is that the agreement is not the show"

"yes Ummi we don't need to make all wedding events, do we love?"

razik.

"it's not your word"

"Zia doesn't want to be ummi" either"

"eh don't do it baby, mami's childhood is the only time there is no reception"

Zia and Razik look at each other, they are confused to have to face these mothers.

"don't be forced if they're not ready"

"yes, Ummi also do not add to their burden dong"

instantly there was a sense of relief for Zia and Razik when there was a defense from the fathers, but it was only a moment before the mothers always felt right.

"But not ready how Pi, they are already married must be ready dong"

"iya Abi too, Ummi added what problems.it was precisely Ummi to comfort them, ease their burden. Zia must be sad because her marriage is like this"

chapter one has come, "mothers are never wrong"

"fix mi...."

"that's not it..."

before the fathers were able to defend themselves they had been dragged out. Maira who saw it coming out gave space and time for Zia and Razik to talk. Both were silent, many things wanted to talk about but were unable to express it. they didn't even think this would happen.

"later..."

Zia tied her head and looked at Razik, seeing Zia suddenly pounding.

"hum?"

"later if it has been obtained by the doctor out of the hospital we immediately return to Jakarta"

Zia just nodded.

"we can live in my apartment. there are three rooms so we can have different rooms without our parents suspect"

Zia nodded again.

"all right, I'm out first.Lo take a break"

this time Zia smiled and nodded.I saw the awkwardness between them.Before Razik turned around again, seeing that Zia was staring at Razik confused.

"gue just wanted to say that I with Syifa still have a relationship. we have promised we will not interfere with each other's personal proposals"

Zia was only able to nod. injured again, yes it hurts to hear that from her own husband.

from that day on they went through the day hurting each other.
