Forced to Marry an Uncle's Child

Episode 16 ~ First Morning

...🌹🌹🌹...

"What are you doing Farhan?"

A very bright morning atmosphere is perfect for exercise. That is what Umar and Farhan are doing in the yard next to their house. The two men of different generations were enjoying the sunny weather this morning.

Umar, who had ended his sports activities, was enjoying a cup of warm tea while sitting reading the newspaper. While Farhan, the man with two wives seemed to be sitting on a pedestal and enjoying the fresh air.

"I'm doing yoga, Pa. Papa want to go to yoga with me?" replied Farhan who is still busy doing yoga according to him.

"Ah, no. Just continue your yoga." said Umar while sipping a cup of warm tea.

Farhan continued his yoga activities that occasionally made Umar chuckle when he saw Farhan's action during yoga.

"Is that what you do every morning Farhan?" ask Umar again who occasionally chuckles to see his eldest son.

"Of course, Pa. By taking a deep breath and then released like this, our lives feel lighter and healthier. Papa will lose if he doesn't try." replied Farhan.

"But we breathe every morning, son." said Umar who again chuckled to see him.

Farhan just rolled his eyes off guard when he heard the words of the father and the man with two wives returned to continue the yoga that he thought was fun.

"You better swim, Farhan. Or go to the gym instead of here and do the ridiculous activity." Umar timpal shook his head.

"If the sport is Papa and Zein's business, because you love that strenuous sport. If I don't like too much sports that are too heavy, because I don't like hard work." Farhan replied casually.

Umar could only shake his head when he heard Farhan's words. Among his two sons, Farhan is the type of man who does not like a job that is fairly heavy and that is why the handsome man is more likely to obey the mother.

"Papa look! Looks like Papa's beloved son hasn't woken up yet either. Though he set the alarm at six in the morning, but until now the child did not wake up too." said Farhan while yoga.

"Leave your sister. He must be very tired after a long journey." replied Umar who remained focused on reading the newspaper.

Farhan continued his activities regardless of Umar's words.

Drrrrt!

Drrrrt!

Drrrrt!

The sound of mobile phone vibration located on the nightstand, managed to disturb Aliyya's sleep and make him wake up. Aliyya also sighed harshly when she saw Zein's phone that had been shaking from the alarm. But the owner of the phone does not seem to be disturbed in the slightest by the sound. With a sigh, Aliyya tried to reach the phone on the nightstand and its position was opposite Zein.

Slowly Aliyya tried to reach the phone with her hand without disturbing Zein who was still asleep and his efforts succeeded. After Zein's cell phone alarm went off, Aliyya pulled back her body and was about to distance herself from Zein's body.

Grep's!

But when Aliyya was about to withdraw her hand, suddenly Zein who was still asleep seemed to hold the girl's hand and make her surprised. Now the position of Aliyya's hand is in Zein's lap.

"Bas based on a spoiled child!!! Release my hand!!!" aliyya with her small voice.

Aliyya continued to try to release Zein's strong arm holding her hand, but her small strength made it difficult for the girl to face Zein's strength even though the man was still fast asleep.

Drrrrt!

A moment later, Aliyya turned her head towards her phone which suddenly shook. But because his hand is still trapped inside Zein's lap, making it difficult to reach his cellphone located on the side of the pillow.

It wasn't Aliyya's name if he had to give up quickly. Without letting go of her hand, the girl seemed to reach for her phone using her feet and her efforts succeeded again.

"Assalamualaikum Ibu.." said Aliyya.

"Wa'alaikumsalam... How are you there, son? Everything's fine, right? I'm sorry that I interrupted your morning" Sabrina said from across the street.

"Why do you always worry about me? Of course I'm fine here, Mom. I don't worry anymore." said Aliyya who calmed Sabrina.

"Yes, I know that you and Zein will be fine. Then where's your husband, son? I want to talk to him." replied Sabrina who asked Zein.

"Zeez... Zein's..."

"I'm here, Bi." cut off the awakened Zein and instantly snatch Aliyya's phone.

Zein's sudden behavior made Aliyya surprised. Because since then the man had not woken up but after hearing the voice of the aunt from Aliyya's phone, managed to disturb Zein's calmness and rushed to snatch the girl's phone.

Aliyya only snorted annoyed at Zein's behavior. Then Aliyya chose to get out of bed and go to the bathroom.

"Zein... How are you, son?" said Sabrina who was happy to hear Zein's voice.

"My news is of course good, Bi. Aunty need not worry about Aliyya because I will always protect her." Zein replied as she glanced at Aliyya who went into the bathroom.

"Thank God then. Aunty was very happy to hear what you said, Zein." said Sabrina.

"Auntie just calm down. Your daughter is a little wayward and quiet but I can handle everything, Bi." replied Zein who smiled as she sat on the edge of the bed.

"Yes, then Aunt closed first. Say hi to Aliyya. We'll talk again. Assalamualaikum." said Sabrina.

"Wa'alaikum..."

The phone call ended, Sabrina heaved a sigh of relief after talking to her two children. Yes, Zein was not only a nephew to him, but also a son in his home. Not because Zein was the son of Umar, but because Zein was also part of his daughter's life from now on.

"After talking directly to Zein, it seems like I don't have to worry about them anymore. All will be well because Zein is not a bad boy and will never be evil."

"Lad..."

After being satisfied with his yoga activities, Farhan sat next to his father who was busy reading the news paper today.

"What's Farhan?"

"I want to say something, Pa."

"Yes, just say it."

Farhan let out a long sigh, I don't know what the handsome man will say to Umar.

"I think Papa was right to marry Zein to Aliyya because only a girl like Aliyya could take care of Zein. But the boy did not realize that Aliyya could take care of him well" Farhan said.

Umar, who had been focusing on the newspaper, turned to Farhan and looked at him in wonder.

"I know that I'm not a son that Papa can be proud of because I made a mistake. I'm a very bad son and can't be an example to Zein. But thanks to Papa's decision, I'm happy because Zein finally got married to the girl who was right for her life." said Farhan again who turned his face away.

"Yes, you're right, son. Papa is very confident that Aliyya can take care of Zein well, even very well later. But what did you say just now? You're a bad son?" answered Umar who looked carelessly in the direction and then turned to look towards Farhan.

Farhan nodded his head, as if the handsome man was regretting something he had done in the past. But what's the problem? I don't know, let time answer everything.

"You're Papa's eldest son! You shouldn't talk like that. You've made mistakes, but that's okay. Papa still loves you like Papa loves Zein. You have to remember that!" said Umar while grabbing the shoulder of the eldest son.

"I'm sorry Pa.." said Farhan.

"All right Pa..."

Farhan also went from the side of the papa and continued his yoga activities that were not finished. While Umar, the middle-aged man seemed to be smiling faintly looking at his eldest son.

"Your juice is coming soon!" sahut Umar while playing his eyebrows.

Farhan only sighed violently while twisting his eyes of the effect of his careless with the joke of the papa who mocked him.

"Good Morning Ma..."

Sonia who had just come down the stairs was increasingly made excited when she passed the two daughters-in-law. Namira and Shafia are greeting while carrying a glass filled with fruit juice in each hand.

Namira who had just noticed the juice glass in Shafia's hand seemed to snort in annoyance. Shafia is like that too. The two throw sharp gazes at each other not to be outdone to pay attention to the husband.

Sonia also sighed harshly when she found out the intent of the gazes of her two daughters-in-law. Then at the same time, Bi Sumi who just came out of the kitchen while carrying a tray containing two cups of warm tea was walking to climb the stairs.

"Bi Sumi's..."

"Yes, ma'am.. Can I help you?"

"Please give these two juices to Farhan in the side yard" Sonia said as she grabbed the two glasses in Namira and Shafia's hands.

"But I want to give this warm tea to Miss Aliyya first, Madam. Because this morning was his first morning in this house, so I..."

"Just do what you're told and don't argue!!!" cut off Sonia who was staring intently at Bi Sumi.

"Alright Madam..."

Bi Sumi who knew enough Sonia was forced to follow her employer's wishes first. Not because of fear of being fired, but because it is not good that in the morning like this you have to fight. Then Bi Sumi walked to the side yard to give juice to Farhan.

"Everyone is awake, but the newlyweds don't seem to be up yet either. The moment in Jogja Zein came and made a scene. Then today she was calm and accepted the marriage, as if nothing had ever happened. That way we can..."

"Silence Shafia!!!" sonia's toilet cut out Shafia's words.

Namira smiled faintly at Shafia's face like that. Farhan's first wife seemed satisfied when she saw scene after scene related to her husband's second wife. Happy and satisfied, of course, to see Shafia who is always scolded for her useless words.

"Good morning Sonia..."

"Oh yes, good morning too, Pa..."

After finishing the morning exercise, Farhan and Umar chose to enter the house. Prepare to go to the office and carry out routine activities every morning at home, namely breakfast together. Seeing Sonia standing near the stairs with Namira and Shafia, the two men approached them.

"What's up, Sonia? It seems you are very lethargic." said Umar who noticed his wife.

"Ah, I'm fine, Pa. It's just, I want to tell you something." replied Sonia who was not excited.

"What's that?" ask the curious Umar.

"This morning is the first morning Aliyya is in our house. But until now, he hasn't woken up yet, Pa." replied the cold Sonia.

"Oh, if the problem is let it go. We will also meet him at breakfast together. Farhan... let's change your clothes quickly." said Umar who saw Sonia and turned to look towards Farhan.

"All right Pa..."

Sonia who had been upset by Shafia had to hold back her feelings many times because of Umar's answer. So Umar and Farhan went up and walked up the stairs.

"But Ma... isn't it the newlyweds who should have gotten up earlier and earlier than us and greeted us all here?"

Umar and Farhan's footsteps halted upon hearing Shafia's question. While Sonia and Namira are hearing that, they are increasingly upset by Shafia's behavior.

"Shafia...When Papa and Farhan came here, did you greet us? Papa thinks you didn't do it. So you no longer need to talk like that because soon we will gather for breakfast together." said Umar.

Offended, maybe that was what Umar had felt when getting questions from the wife of his two eldest sons. After answering the son-in-law's question, Umar walked away and was followed by Farhan. While Namira was watching, increasingly smiling smugly triumphantly.

"Next time think first before saying anything in front of Umar!!!"

Sonia left, and so did Namira. While Shafia is still silent and embarrassed because it has always been wrong in front of Sonia, even Namira and her husband. Really, it's a shame for her to do that.

"What have you done Zein?"

Aliyya is completely shocked by Zein when she finds her suitcase in the bathroom and is located under the shower that remains alive. Not only the suitcase is wet, but Aliyya's clothes are also wet all because of the work of a annoying man named Zein Abdullah.

"What else do you think? You don't forget what I said last night, that I'm gonna make your life hard and suffer here. So, what you just witnessed was the beginning. This is just the beginning, dear nephew!!!" zein replied as he leaned back and stood by the door.

"You really don't have a heart, Zein!" aliyya's toilet was trying to pull her suitcase bag away from the shower.

Zein only smirked in satisfaction seeing Aliyya in such difficulty. Then the man went straight into the bathroom after Aliyya managed to bring in her wet suitcase.

"Oh Allah..How is this? All my clothes are wet because of that shitty guy. Then how do I get out if all my clothes get wet?"

Aliyya opened her suitcase. Then open one by one his clothes and hope that there are still clothes tucked away so that they are not wet with water. But the girl's efforts were unsuccessful because all her clothes were wet with no residue.

Chequek!

Aliyya was aghast when she heard the sound of the door handle ringing and opening.

"Astagfirullahalazim, what is this Non? Why are all your clothes wet like this?" asked Bi Sumi who went into Zein's room while carrying a tray containing two cups of tea.

Aliyya also looks panicked when Bi Sumi comes in and sees the condition of her wet suitcase.

"It's okay, Bi. My clothes aren't all wet. Aunty don't worry either." replied Aliyya who tried to calm down and calm Bi Sumi.

"Then what can I help you with, Non?" asked Bi Sumi who seemed sorry to see Aliyya.

"Does Auntie have an iron? Can I borrow it for a minute, Bi?" aliyya asked as she clasped Bi Sumi's hand and looked at her expectantly.

"There's Non, wait a minute. Aunty get it in Aunt's room." Bi Sumi replied and left.

Aliyya let out a sigh of relief and sat limp on the edge of the bed. The girl's eyes also looked reddened from holding back her tears. Zein's cruel attitude like this always invites Aliyya's tears to immediately fall and decompose.

"I must be strong!!! I should be able to deal with Zein's child-like attitude!!!"
