Forced to Marry an Uncle's Child

Episode 12 ~ Talk Four Eyes

...🌹🌹🌹...

All eyes were on Zein. Without waiting for an answer from the father, Zein walked over to Aliyya who had been staring at him with a pushy look.

"Come with me for a minute!"

Aliyya who was still silent was pulled directly by Zein. Then Zein took the girl downstairs to the side yard. Instantly the atmosphere turned silent. An awkward feeling was inevitable by the two cousins. The two are silent but still look at each other sharply.

"I want to tell you something, Al" said Zein, who opened the conversation in silence.

"I don't have much time to listen to what you're going to say, Zein!" aliyya replied coldly, pointing at Zein's face.

"I know my mistake, Al. But honestly, I can't marry you. So please, talk to Papa and Auntie if I reject this decision." Zein said casually without feeling guilty in the slightest.

"You think I want to marry a guy like you? No, Zein!!! I hate you so much!!! Because of you, my life was ruined like this and because of you I had to hear Uncle's decision that I never thought of before!!! If you hadn't come here, Zein, then none of this would have happened!!!" aliyya who started to get emotional again.

"You're right, Al. I feel very sorry now that I have complied with Papa's request to come here. But the fault is not entirely just me, Al. You are also guilty, because you thought that I was Zaki." replied Zein who was still relaxed.

Really, Aliyya was really furious at the look on Zein's innocent face. Zein blames himself for mistakenly thinking that Zein is Zaki. Aliyya's anger grew to the crown, her eyes reddened and her hands clenched firmly. But Zein couldn't feel that. The man who was Aliyya's cousin's brother even put a look of compassion on Aliyya, so that the girl cancels this sudden matchmaking plan. So sucks.

"If your goal is to bring me here just to blame myself for everything you've done, we better not have to talk, Zein Abdullah!!!" aliyya said trying to hold back the anger in her heart.

"Wait Al..."

As soon as Aliyya was about to step foot into his house, Zein grabbed the girl's hand quickly and Aliyya's step stopped but her position still turned to Zein who was still holding her hand.

"Let's cancel with Papa's plan, Al. That way, neither you nor I need to get married and get stuck in a silly marriage not based on love."

Slowly Aliyya who was emotional turned her body position and turned to look at Zein, then brushed off Zein's hand that was still holding her hand.

"Talk to your father, Al. Tell her you don't want to marry me. I'm pretty sure, if you refuse to marry me, then all of our problems will be solved well. Papa won't force you to marry me." Zein said, grabbing Aliyya's shoulders.

"Are you sure of this plan?" ask Aliyya who started to calm down and control her emotions.

"I'm pretty sure, Al. All decisions are in your hands. If you refuse, then Papa will not force the two of us again." replied the enthusiastic Zein.

Aliyya was silent, trying to weigh what the silly man said. It is true, but the intelligent Aliyya does not want to make a decision in a hurry. Meanwhile, looking slack, silly and stupid, Zein continued to pay attention to Aliyya while hoping that Aliyya would accept her proposal.

"Okay, I'm gonna talk to Dad about this."

A smile of relief appeared on Zein's handsome face. But not with Aliyya who still turned her face away from the annoying man.

"Can I trust you?" asked Zein who made Aliyya even more upset and angry.

"Until now, I will never marry you, Zein Abdullah!!! So, whether you believe it or not, it's up to you and I don't care!!!" aliyya said, pointing at Zein's face.

"Promise?" ask Zein who seems to be doubting Aliyya.

"Not only promise, even I swear I will say this to Father and reject you, Zein Abdullah!!!" aliyya, who was staring hard at Zein, then left.

Zein was still with his lewd smile at the moment when Aliyya left from before him. Without any more guilt, the man did not fully apologize even more making Aliyya angry and hate him.

"Hopefully Aliyya can keep her promise."

Looks like a doctor is checking Galuh's condition which has been coughing loudly since. There are also Sabrina, Aldha, Umar, Sonia, Farhan, Namira and Shafia. Everyone looked back at Aliyya who came and stood glued to the door. Not long after, the doctor went after checking Galuh's condition and gave a piece of paper with a prescription of drugs that must be taken routinely by the middle-aged man.

After the doctor left, Aliyya walked closer to her father's bed. The clear thread from her beautiful eyes also seemed to flow as the girl sat down while reaching for Galuh's cold and pale hands.

"Don't cry my daughter. Dad is okay." said Galuh who wiped the tears on the cheeks of his beloved daughter.

"really? Is it really okay?" asked Aliyya who was trying to hold back her cries.

"Your father's okay, son. He's just exhausted and needs enough rest..."

Aliyya turned her head quickly towards the uncle who suddenly stopped his words. While Sonia who really understands the purpose of Umar also seemed to throw off the face of the effect of the careless on the husband.

"What's Uncle with you?" ask the astonished Aliyya.

"Your father wants to hear your answer to the decision that Uncle has made for you and Zein, son." Umar said with an expression that is difficult to read.

Aliyya was silent, slowly turning her head towards Galuh and Sabrina who were waiting for her answer, but what could the girl do right now, seeing the condition of the father who was sick due to the actions of Zein and himself, making Aliyya could not bear. Then what about the promise, even the vow that he had made to Zein?

"How's Nak? Did you accept Umar's decision to marry Zein today?" galuh asked as he gently stroked his head.

Aliyya still flinching. The scarring of anxiety was clearly visible on his face, then he turned towards Sonia, Farhan, Namira and Shafia, as if wanting to see their expressions with Umar's sudden decision. Farhan and Namira appear to smile faintly at Aliyya, either for accepting Aliyya or for resigning with all Umar's decisions. But not with Sonia and Shafia, the two women of different generations seemed to put on a sour face look uncomfortable to look at. As if to say their dislike of this matter.

Yep... Aliyya understood what was in Sonia's mind. The hatred of the beautiful middle-aged woman towards her family that has not ended until now, made Aliyya hesitant to accept Umar's decision. In addition, he had also sworn to Zein to reject all of this. But what is the power of an Aliyya who loves her family so much without distinguishing anyone. Aliyya loved Umar very much and did not want to make the uncle disappointed.

"Aliyya... Uncle believes that you can decide even the most difficult thing in your life. Because Uncle knows you very well, son. You are a very kind and obedient child, which is why Uncle made this decision. Not only for you, but also for Zein." said Umar who is now beside Aliyya.

"Pa. if Aliyya does not want to, why Papa tried to force her. Neither Aliyya nor Zein, they would not be happy if forced to do so." the real Sonia was still angry but tried to find another loophole for Umar's plan to fail.

"I'm pretty sure that Aliyya would accept my decision, Sonia. So, you don't provoke Aliyya like that!" umar said, turning to Sonia.

Sonia also grunted in annoyance. It feels very eager to vent his anger at this time also in front of Sabrina, Galuh, Aldha, Aliyya, Farhan, Namira and Shafia. But in order to maintain the image as the wife of a respected Umar Abdullah, Sonia tried hard to hold all that.

"Aliya..."

Aliyya is still late in daydreaming. But the touch of Umar's hand on his shoulder managed to resuscitate the girl.

"I...
