Andra and Azimah (Contract 2 Marriage)

64

Azimah first entered the dining room, leaving Andra who was still preparing in her room. Selma stared at the strange arrival of Azimah who seemed hurried and confused. But recalling the quarrel of Azimah and Andra made Selma not question it again. He had promised himself not to interfere in the affairs of his eldest son.

"Holy, where's Andra?" selma asked shortly after Azimah landed her butt on the chair.

"He's preparing, ma'am" Azimah replied.

Azimah glanced at Anastasia who was sitting while humming lightly ala children. Azimah asked Anastasia to eat with what side dish. Anastasia replied with her wish, she pointed at some dishes containing her favorite side dishes.

Patiently and painstakingly, Azimah took care of Anastasia. All the behavior of the Azimah did not escape Selma's observation, he smiled because his son could take care of Anastasia well. Although Selma was not very supportive of Azimah and Andra's relationship, but deep in her heart she was happy if Anastasia got Azimah as her mother. Because to be honest, Selma has loved Anastasia like a biological child that she gave birth to herself.

"Why are you smiling?" andreas's jolt shocked Selma.

"It's okay!" selma replied in a sullen tone as she still kept her annoyance on Andreas. Andreas just shook his head slowly looking at it. Andreas knows the consequences if it makes Selma angry. And thus, Andreas must accept the attitude of ketus from his wife for the next few days. Because indeed when Selma is angry he will spend more than a week to return to his original attitude.

'You should know, expensive gemstones won't make him improve on you' Andreas' inner self.

Before long Andra joined them all in the dining room. He sat on the side of Anastasia, which was directly adjacent to Andreas. He rubbed his son's head slowly. Living in the Lu family residence makes Anastasia a little filled until her cheeks are perfectly rounded like a mangrove cake. Seeing it again made Andra realize that Anastasia was not so taken care of in his hands.

Dinner is over, bringing everyone to sit quietly in the living room while enjoying dessert. Selma is busy chatting with Axel about Axel's lessons, while Azimah is still busy feeding Anastasia who has now changed a pudding. Andreas and Andra are seen sitting in the corner of the room enjoying their coffee and cigarettes.

"It looks like we got an attack after I reported them all this morning" Andreas said.

"That's for sure. There's no way they're gonna stay quiet with everything we do. Then what are we gonna do now?" ask Andra.

"I'm still thinking about it. As long as this is still within the scope of the company, I can still calm down. But it's different if they've touched my family members. I hope this isn't their choice. I'm tired of dealing with guns. Even I had forgotten how to use it" Andreas said trying to seem calm.

"I hope so too. I refuse to dirty my hands with all of them. But if it happens, then inevitably we have to use the old way" said Andra added.

Andreas seemed to approve.

"Being a leader can't be completely clean nor can it be completely dirty. Too sure to backfire not confident it will stop in the middle of the road" complained Andreas on the sidelines of his activity sucking the nicotine stick.

Andra smiled hearing that. He never saw his best friend give up. It was like it wasn't Andreas he knew. But Andra agreed with Andreas' statement.

"That's why I'd rather be an architect than a president. But fate wants something else. He seems to want us not to completely abandon our old habits" Andra chuckles at trying to reduce the rigidity of their chatter.

"I'm afraid I can't protect my son and my wife, Andreas said unconsciously.

Andra patted Andreas' arm trying to strengthen him.

"Don't complain like this, you're not the usual one who is always sure of what you're doing, Iyas" Andra said trying to revive his best friend's spirit.

"It's not because of what, I'm about to turn half a century. I honestly want to calm down through my time of weaponry. Relax enjoying tea with Selma, if God is quick to send a soul mate to my children, maybe I can accompany my grandchildren to play" said Andreas glaring deep at his desire for his senile period.

"You'll see that. After all, it was still a few years away to reach half a century, Iyas. In that time, much can happen and be done. Just walk it first, God will grant your wishes gradually" explained Andra again encouraging Andrew.

"You are right, because maybe after this matter is over you will soon marry Azimah" chirped Andreas who made Andra wrong but also made her heart flower.

"Maybe before that" Andra replied as if wanting more reaction from Andreas.

"Don't fuck around, I'm warning you! Don't hamili Azimah before it's over, And. I'm not messing around with this one. Our problems are not trivial, our enemies are uncertain. I hope you will consider everything" recalled Andreas who immediately responded to Andra with a thumbs up.

Actually Andra also knew about it, which is why he chose to finish the release of Azimah alone and escape to the bathroom to play solo to achieve his release. Andra knew he would not hold back if he had entered the Azimah, he did not want to leave the Azimah a burden if the problems they faced were not finished.

"When can I go to the office? I was bored at home without doing any activities" Andra said.

"You can go to the office if your wounds have improved. But it seems you do want to continue being a patient so that Azimah continues to care for you" Andreas' circus.

"Tomorrow I will go to the office" answered Andra confidently because he really needs to run away when he feels that now he can not release the Azimah in the slightest.

"Faster is better" Andreas replied casually.

Only the two men knew the contents of each other's brains. People will think that the chatter is just small talk but what they do not know is that every sentence and word has a different meaning.

Selma approached after Axel finished his task. The Azimah did not know where to take Anastasia. The three of them joined in for a brief chat.

"Looks like you got a present today, Selma?" andra said to Selma. Andra didn't know but she felt today Selma was keeping her distance, was it because of their argument this morning? I don't know, but Andra does not want everything to change even though he is now a lover of Azimah. What he wants both of his best friends is still behaving as usual as before even though it may be difficult for both.
