Andra and Azimah (Contract 2 Marriage)

96

Azimah went in and shouted to Grandma and her sisters, making the whole house confused by her behavior.

"Is this how girls get married, huh?!" emma said walking closer to her eldest grandchild.

"Grandmother .., I really miss you!" azimah said as she hugged Emma.

"Stop! You're getting married but you still look like a teenager!" reply Emma but still return Azimah's embrace.

"Where are Azirah and Alex, Grandma?!" ask Azimah who did not see the whereabouts of his two sisters.

"They were with your mother. Misses release!" emma answered while bringing Azimah to sit down and asked Azimah to lie down by making her thigh as a pillow.

"How's the preparation? Did you get the dress you wanted, hem?!" ask Emma then.

Azimah nodded slowly and looked at Emma's aging and wrinkled face.

"I didn't expect God to send a soul mate for me so soon. Though I still want to have fun with my youth, career and explore the world even further!" azimah.

Emma smiled, gently rubbing Azimah's head. A young girl who has changed her life with her thoughts and affection.

"Don't just fixate on your desires, because humans actually have many desires. The older you are, the more you want. Seeing that others can do just that, a little bit of us also want to do it. But as a woman, at the end of the journey, life is getting married. Although you may not have much free time for yourself or the freedom you feel today, when you get married you can make your way. You have a new purpose. Being a housewife or a career woman are both options you can make at the same time if you can!" emma said she gave advice.

Azimah took a deep breath, hearing the advice from her grandmother made her shoulders feel a little lighter.

"According to Grandma can Andra understand all my traits?!" ask Azimah to make sure.

"Of course, he's a very nice guy. Grandma has known him for a long time, since he was still in her mother's womb, hehe!" emma replied while chuckling lightly.

"Grandmother .., I'm being serious. I mean, can we survive even if we fight a lot later?!" the word Azimah explains.

"Of course you can go through all that. The proof is that you've arrived at this stage, it's not easy because you have to face your overprotective mother and father!" emma replied while whispering at the end of the sentence.

Azimah thought for a moment. What Emma said was true, they were quite difficult to get the blessing of Andreas and Selma, especially Selma. There were so many bad things he thought about Andra, even though Selma herself had known him for quite some time.

"Grandmother is right, my mother is very hard to conquer!" answer Azimah.

"Here you go, you better get some sleep and rest. You have to take care of your health, don't stay up too often. I don't want you to be tired or even sick!" said Emma.

"Good, Grandma. Grandma also rested. Good night!" Azimah moved, peeked at Emma's cheek and then passed from in front of Emma.

After Azimah died, Emma looked at the entire house with millions of memories of her youth. Where she starts her new family in the house, raising Andreas and fighting together with him after Andreas' father is gone. Unconsciously Emma cried remembering all these things.

Now the house has a new family that is happier than the family he created first. And now, there's one more happiness because Emma still has a chance to see her granddaughter get married, even if it's not her own grandchild.

"Mother ...," suddenly Selma comes and shatters all of Emma's shadow. Emma rubbed her face that was starting to rub. He pulled Selma to sit together on the sofa.

"Mom crying?" ask Selma to make sure.

"Mom only remembers my mother's past in this house. And suddenly I became more emotional!" emma replied with a big smile.

Selma embraced Emma and calmed her down.

"Much has happened in this house. My happiness starts in this house and I hope my last breath will be released in this house!" selma added.

"What are you saying, don't talk carelessly. You're gonna marry Azimah. You should be happy, we should all be happy!" said Emma who pulled Selma's hand and held it tightly.

"It's like a dream, Mom. My best friend married my own son. I never imagined it, even though I knew Andra and Azimah loved each other but there was a concern in me about their later household trip!" selma.

Emma smiled when she found out that Andreas was married to Selma, a widow with three children. His logic could not accept that fact, even though he himself had seen Andreas happy to live his household life but still he was worried about the continuity of the Andreas household because Selma had failed. And in the end Emma realized that the household is not about a mere fit, but the desire to survive despite being expected with many storms that hit. And Selma and Andreas have been through very well.

"Every household has its own problems, just as your former household did not run smoothly, Azimah and Andra may experience the same. But, we know that even though Azimah is stubborn, she is not a selfish person who thinks only of herself. Andra, he's a very understanding man, they can go through everything well. Trust me, the most important thing is you don't be like your old mama who meddles too much in your problems!" said Emma who remembers so badly she treated Selma first.

"Iyas suggested the same thing. I don't know, maybe because I'm still not willing to give up the Azimah. Azimah always accompanied me as long as Azirah and Alex continued their education. He makes me not lonely because he always listens to all my complaints. And in the future I will miss moments like that" said Selma who did not feel ready to release the Azimah so soon.

"Imagine if you let Azimah achieve her own happiness. Every day he would live his happy day, then all those worries would slowly disappear. And the most important thing is, Azimah is with the right person!" emma again advised her daughter-in-law.

Selma was silent, because as a woman she had failed to live a married life. He was afraid because the difference that Azimah and Andra had made both go the same way as him.

"The household if thought would be complicated. There are many things that we cannot understand by logic alone. Sometimes we fight like we don't want to make up anymore, stay quiet for a long time, but in the end, family is family, where every affection is poured out there!" added Emma advising Selma.

"Yes, mom's right. I even thought about leaving Iyas because of my jealousy. A great fight with him, but in the end I realized that I could be strong and endure because of the affection Iyas gave me!" selma said as she recalled the uneasy times she had with Andreas.

"really, right? So, don't think too much about how Andra and Azimah live their lives in the future. Let them row their own boats, whatever happens to them we can only watch, give a little advice and in the end only two of them can solve their problems. The quarrels sometimes need to be there to strengthen each other!" added Emma.

Emma nodded, agreeing with Emma's statement.

"Here you go, I'm going to rest. Mom's back aches from being on the plane for too long!" shoot Emma then.

"Lay down, I'll massage mom!" selma offered herself.

"Iyas is out taking care of something. I don't know when I'll be home. I'll be waiting here any minute, Mom!" selma.

"All right then. Mom will go straight to the room. If Iyas doesn't come back in an hour, you better wait for him in the room. It's cold in here!" emma said, before she finally left Selma.

Andreas and Andra were in a small, dark room. In front of them were some men who had tried to harm the Azimah.

"What should we do with them?!" ask Andra to Andrew.

"Back it first. Let the Mayor realize for himself that our people are holding him back so he stops harassing innocent people!" Andreas.

"Then, we better get back now. Selma and Azimah must have been waiting for you!" andra suggested.

"Yes, Come!" Andreas and Andra left the mayor's men in the room. Letting their men take care of them.

"Don't let them get away. Take good care of them and provide enough food and drinks. Remember one thing, don't torture them anymore!" andreas said to his men.

"Good, Master!" the man with the sturdy body answered Andreas.

Andreas and Andra get in the same car to get back home.

"What's your problem and Azimah? Already finished?!" ask Andreas to make sure.

"Yes, after arguing for quite a while it's finally over!" answered Andra while exhaling her heavy breath.

"When your relationship can be fine without those unnecessary fights. You're getting married, not the warmer you get, the more you fight!" complained Andreas.

"Azimah too easily deduces something that he does not know the truth. And what I don't like, he harbored everything without any intention of finishing it to me and ended up making a preconception in his heart!" andra.

"Don't blame my daughter too much. You should also be able to understand about the circumstances around, if the Azimah is easily ignited you do not provoke it. You've always been acting all you want, feeling that if you do the right thing then you no longer need to think about others and that you can't continue because sometimes couples need an explanation even though they don't question it directly!" andreas reminded me.

Andra took her breath, "Okay, Azimah and Adelina are very different. If Adelina can understand everything I do without me having to explain, but Azimah is the opposite. It's frustrating me!" lamented Andra.

"Obviously they're different, they're two different people. You can't match the characters of the two because they are different. You should be able to let go of Adelina's character when you are with Azimah so you can get to know Azimah better!" andreas clear.

Andra turned to Andreas, looking at him with a sharp look.

"You defended your daughter very much, Iyas. Don't forget that I'm your best friend too!" andra said annoyed.

"I know, I know that. So I give you advice because I know you well. You're so engrossed in your world that you ignore something you're supposed to share with your partner. This is not the case with Adelina because Adelina has almost the same indifferent character as you. Unlike the Azimah who has an open and caring nature. That's why you and Azimah fight more than when you're with Adelina!" andreas explained.

Andra remained silent for a moment, digesting carefully what Andreas had told her.

"Alright, I'll try to be more open with the Azimah" Andra said, breaking off their conversation.

Andreas smiled as he pointed his thumb at Andra.

"Oh, yes. There's something I want to tell you, Iyas!" andra said suddenly.

"What?" ask Andreas by staying focused on the front road.

"That, Azimah and I are getting married next month!" said Andra.

Andreas stepped on the brake pedal suddenly until the sound of a tire squeak that was so loud was heard from his car tire.

"What?!!!" andreas shouted in shock.

Andra sighed while nodding her head weakly. "Yes. I think we should get married quickly so that we can better build each of us!" answer Andra as he is.

"But why so suddenly?! Aren't you engaged next week? How is Selma going to prepare all the series of events in this short time?!" andreas was frustrated.

"I know, but our wedding doesn't need to be extravagant. Attended by the closest people and relatives and friends alone is more than enough. I want to convince Azimah that all about me is her!" andra.

"Hey, wouldn't it be better for you to understand each other first before finally getting married, so that if there are things that are not desirable it will be easier to solve. If you get married, things will be different. It's not just about being jealous and saying the word separate! Think again, And. It doesn't matter if you do want to convince Azimah, but getting married in the near future and rushing it's not the right decision. We have a big family and a good name, all of it must be kept awake, don't just think about your own ego!" andreas strongly rejects the decision of Andra and Azimah.

"Me and Azimah have decided. All will be completed within the next month!" andra is still stubborn.

Andreas starts the car engine with annoyance, grumbling and even swearing Andra in heart.

"You guys are really outrageous! You don't look at us as a family anymore, decide everything yourself. What do you think of me and Selma and the other family elders, huh?!" andreas Oceh. And along the way Andreas continued to babble Andra about his decision.

"Don't be mad at Azimah, this is what I want!" andra sela.

"You ..., arrghhhh ....!" shouted Andreas who was at a loss for words.
