"Aliyya, Zein..."
All eyes widened for a moment when they saw the sight of Zein hugging Aliyya in her room without shame. Sonia, who thought the youngest son had gone to Singapore, was no less surprised to find Zein in Aliyya's room. Umar, Sabrina and Galuh were shocked to see his daughter hugging Zein.
Zein and Aliyya broke into their arms and turned to the people. Aliyya's eyes are careless to many people. Meanwhile, Zaki looks very satisfied to be able to humiliate Aliyya and her family like this.
"You can see them!? Is this the behavior of a good person? Hugging in the room with the door closed?" uncle Zaki said that increasingly corner Aliyya and Zein.
The bad talk of people began to sound. They continued to talk about this incident and made Sabrina, Galuh and Umar feel cornered.
"What are you talking about, sir? We didn't do anything. I just want to get my phone left here. When I walked in here, I accidentally saw Aliyya who was crying a mouthful. What's wrong if I calm him down as a brother?" said Zein who defended himself and Aliyya.
"Then why is your phone left behind? Did you sleep with him last night, making you forget your phone?" uncle Zaki's chimpanzee is increasingly cornering Zein.
"Close your mouth, sir! My son can't possibly do such a dirty thing!" toilet Umar was staring intently at Uncle Zaki.
"Don't dodge it again, Mr. Umar! It's obvious here that they really have a special relationship!" timpal Uncle Zaki.
"Alright, Uncle! We better get out of this place. It's a shame that we're still here!" said Zaki who looked down at Aliyya and Zein.
Zaki and his family moved out of Aliyya's room. While Aliyya's family still looked fixated standing inside there. But not with Galuh.
Galuh could not accept the princess being humiliated like this by the Zaki family. With a chest that felt very tight, Galuh followed the Zaki family out and was followed by Sabrina, Umar, Sonia and others, including Aliyya and Zein.
"Wait..."
Hearing the baritone's voice, the Zaki family stopped their steps and turned towards the source of the sound.
"My daughter is innocent! You are gravely mistaken for having dared to accuse my daughter. I can't accept this humiliation." Galuh said with her voice held back.
The Zaki family looked at each other, no one answered Galuh's words. Then Galuh approached Zaki.
"Even if my daughter's wedding is off today, but I swear. After this I will marry my daughter to a much better man than you, Zaki! You've shown me who you really are and I'm so grateful that my daughter didn't marry a man like you. A man with no conscience!!!" galuh toilet while tidying up Zaki's collar.
Zaki clucked in annoyance as he chuckled amusedly upon hearing the middle-aged man's words.
Bruk!
"Dad.." cried Aliyya who was surprised to see her father being pushed rudely by Zaki.
Zaki pushed Galuh so strongly that he fell. Then just leave everything. Sabrina, Aliyya and Aldha who saw it immediately helped Galuh to stand up. But the tightness in the middle-aged man's chest grew and made him faint.
"Dad...get up, Dad!" peekkik Aliyya who cried with a hiccup.
"Farhan. help Papa pick up your uncle and bring him to the room." Umar told Farhan as he approached Galuh.
Umar, Farhan and Zein picked Galuh up and took him to his room. After that Umar called the doctor to immediately come to Sabrina's house.
Sabrina, who was sitting next to her husband, could only cry as she clasped her hands. While Aliyya just stood glued by the door, staring at the father who was lying limp on the bed. Feeling unbearable, Aliyya got up from her father's room and sat down under the stairs.
Aliyya was crying a hiccup there, maratapi fate of her dream marriage that failed today. Not only failed, but also embarrassed all his family members and Umar's family as his uncle. Aliyya cried, curled up on the edge of the stairs, hiding her face between her knees.
"Aliya..."
That familiar-sounding baritone voice made Aliyya stop her crying. Then look at the source of the voice.
"Uncle..."
"What's really going on between you and Zein, son? Why is all this happening to you?" tanya Umar while reaching for Aliyya's hand.
Aliyya also tried to stop her crying, regulate her breathing and wipe away her tears. Then Aliyya told Umar everything. Starting from his first meeting with Zein, Zein who did not say that he was not Zaki, Zaki, zein's attitude, which he thought was outrageous when he was in the old building that night, was caught by the officer who was guarding there, and what he least expected was that the officer was Zaki's uncle.
Everything Aliyya told Umar and made the middle-aged man flabbergasted. His hands clenched firmly and were ready to hit whatever was in front of him, except Aliyya. Meanwhile, Aliyya was still telling me again whatever Zein did to her until it ended like this.
***
Another Sabrina, another with Sonia. The middle-aged woman seemed to be holding back her resentment and anger because of this situation. A very unfavorable situation for his family, especially himself. So Sonia approached her son and pulled him out of Sabrina's room.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you back here, Zein?" asked Sonia who was very upset with the son.
"Believe it, Ma. I didn't do anything in Aliyya's room. I just want to get my phone left there. That's it!!!" zein was honest.
"Mama can trust you, Zein. But what about your papa? Will he listen to your explanation?" asked Sonia who looked panicked and turned her face away from the son.
"Mama take it easy. I'll explain everything to Papa. I'm sure that Papa must have believed me." Zein replied, wiping Sonia's shoulder from behind and going to see her father.
"Zeez... Zein!"
Sonia's attempt to stop her son was in vain. Zein went down the stairs to meet Umar..
"I can't just shut up! I have to protect my son!"
Sonia also moved by holding a strong resolve to protect Zein. I don't know what made him think Zein was in danger. But what danger?
***
Under the stairs, a crying Aliyya seemed to still be talking to Umar. While Umar tried to calm his nephew to stay strong and not think about what had happened.
Zein who almost reached the bottom floor also saw Aliyya who was still crying in her father's arms. There was guilt in his heart. Zein was aware of his mistake with his cousin and because of his mischievous behavior to Aliyya, making everything chaotic, even Zein never imagined that this would happen.
"I'm sorry, Aliyya. Because of my ridiculous act, your marriage is void and chaotic like this. But I'm gonna fix everything, Al."
With complete confidence, Zein approached Aliyya and Umar.
"She, Aliyya..."
Umar who was hugging Aliyya was silent when he heard Zein's voice. His heart was still very sick because it was disappointed with the actions of his favorite son. While Aliyya, the girl slowly raised her head and stared intently at Zein.
"I'm sorry, Pa. It's all my fault. Because I have Aliyya's marriage annulled and all her family and our family are humiliated as before by Zaki's family." Zein said, bowing his head in apology.
"It's all happened, Zein. Suppose you think long and think about what the consequences will be because of you, then all this will not happen and Aliyya must be happy!" ''' Umar answered in a stifled voice as it restrained his emotions and chose not to stare at his son.
Zein fell silent and admitted that he was wrong. Aliyya who saw that also moved and still looked at Zein with a look full of hatred. But when Zein was silent, his rough breath was blown and his downed head was now lifted back up.
"But all this..."
"You have to take responsibility for the mistakes you've made, Zein. You must marry Aliyya!" cut off Umar who was staring intently at Zein.
Aliyya and Zein were shocked when they heard Umar's words. The scarring did not receive a very clear look on the faces of the two.
"No, Uncle. I don't want to marry the man who ruined my happiness. I don't want to marry a coward like her!" aliyya replied who turned towards Zein with a murderous look.
"How could I marry Aliyya, Pa? I can't because I don't want to get married yet." replied Zein who shook her head and turned her face away.
"You must take responsibility, Zein!!! You must obey Papa's words if you want your life to be calm." said Umar who is still trying to hold back his emotions.
"No, Pa! All this time I've been following your word and I've done it all. But this time, sorry Pa. I can't. I can't marry Aliyya!" replied Zein who occasionally turned towards Aliyya.
Umar who had been trying his hardest to hold his emotions also seemed to clench his hands. His chest felt very tight to get rejection from his favorite son.
Plaque!
One powerful slap landed smoothly on Zein's cheek and it managed to make Aliyya's eyes widen at the scene. Not only Aliyya, Sonia who had been following Zein was also surprised when she saw Umar slap Zein for the first time.
"Lad..."
Umar, Aliyya and Zein turned towards the source of the strangled voice. While from the origin of the voice, it appears that Sonia who rushed to step foot toward her youngest son.
"What have you done Pa? You shouldn't have slapped Zein like this!" sonia's toilet is embracing Zein's shoulder.
"Zein must marry Aliyya, Ma! Because he had to take responsibility for what he had done to Aliyya! Because of Zein's actions, Aliyya was not married and our family was humiliated as before!" said Umar who was emotional but remained calm.
"Why is Papa just thinking about Aliyya's feelings? Then what about Zein's feelings?" sonia said as she glanced sharply at Aliyya.
"If Zein wants her feelings to be appreciated by others, then she should be able to appreciate the feelings of others first. Not even toying with other people's feelings like this!" and Umar stared intently at Sonia and Zein.
"But Pa..."
"Nothing but again, Zein. Come on, Papa!" cut Umar and pull Zein's hand.
Zein who still feels guilty just resigned to follow the papa. Meanwhile, Sonia looked to turn her head and stared intently at Aliyya, before finally the middle-aged woman rushed to follow Umar. Aliyya who disagreed with the uncle's proposal rushed up the stairs and followed Umar, Zein and Sonia.
***
Umar continued to forcibly withdraw Zein's hand, until now they were in Sabrina's room.
"What's up, brother? Why did Big Brother forcefully pull out Zein's hand like that?" asked Sabrina who was surprised to see the look on her brother's face.
Umar was still flinching, occasionally a sharp gaze he turned towards the beloved son. While Zein was only bowed, the look on his face looked very upset and disappointed with the attitude of the papa. Not long after, Sonia and Aliyya who followed Umar from behind came.
"Pa.. Don't be like this! Think of your own son's feelings. Please think first, before making a decision!" said Sonia who slowed her tone.
Umar remained unmoved, staring at Zein and his wife in turn. While Sabrina, Galuh and Aldha who saw the behavior of Umar, still seemed confused. But all that did not dampen the absolute intention of Umar.
"Zein will be responsible for what he has done, Sabrina" said Umar, who still stared hard at Zein.
"What does Brother mean?" ask Sabrina.
"Zein will replace Zaki as Aliyya's future husband. Zein is getting married to Aliyya!" ''' Umar answered very strongly.
The eyes of Sabrina, Galuh, Farhan, Namira, Shafia and Aldha were wide when they heard Umar's words. While Sonia could only snort angrily towards the husband. What about Aliyya and Zein? Of course, both of them seemed to be in disbelief in all of this.
"Today too, Zein is getting married to Aliyya. Zein should be able to mature over everything he has done to Aliyya. And I assure you, no one can oppose my decision!" said Umar who looked towards everything, including Zein and Aliyya.
"But Brother..."
"Already, Sabrina. I know what's best for my son, Zein. And I also know what's best for my niece, Aliyya. Zein and Aliyya should get married, for our common good!" '' said Umar who loudly.
Sabrina who was very familiar with the hard nature of Umar was only able to sit down and turn to Galuh who still looks pale. Galuh just nodded, as if confirming Umar's decision as Zein's father and Aliyya's uncle. A thin smile was engraved on Galuh's face because he was relieved that Aliyya would marry Zein.
What about Sonia? Of course the beautiful and elegant middle-aged woman seemed to snort angrily while throwing her face away. This was what he had feared since then, even since Zein had decided to go and come to Sabrina's house.
If only you had listened to what Mama said, Zein. Then this event will never happen. Mama wouldn't be willing if you had to marry that girl. Mama's not willing, Zein. Mama is really not willing. Sonia murmured in the heart.
While Aliyya and Zein seemed to throw a glance at each other. The look of hatred from the glare of Aliyya's sharp eyes was clearly visible. His red and wet eyes looked intently at the man who was none other than Zein, his cousin's brother. Then Zein, the handsome man was still relaxed, although the red marks on his cheeks due to Umar's slap still looked very clear. For a moment Zein turned his head and looked inside Aliyya's eyes. After being satisfied, Zein let out a rough sigh and raised his head.
"I want to talk to Aliyya for a minute, Pa."
