Forced to Marry an Uncle's Child

Episode 18 ~ Room Lock

...🌹🌹🌹...

Another round of clear hair fell from the corner of Aliyya's eyes when she heard the words of the husband who was very loud and heart-pounding. It hurt so much to see a man who was already her husband, burning an object in front of her own eyes. And that thing was the one he had used earlier. As much as Zein's hatred for Aliyya, to whatever object the girl touched, Zein was willing to burn it. It's really painful.

"You have no rights in this room. So don't ever assume that I'm messing with my words!" zein toilet.

Zein throws the burning clothes in any direction and leaves the room. While Aliyya was sitting lethargic and crying in the room alone without anyone knowing.

***

"Your running distance is very far, Zein. But your current position is still the same and doesn't move a bit."

Zein who is still emotionally ignited because Aliyya also chose to run on the Treadmill in the yard next to her house. But when he was spilling all the anger that was in his heart, the mother came to him and brought a bottle of cold mineral water.

"Zein. Talk to Mama, honey. Mama is worried about you. In Jogja, you take your papa's decision for granted and marry the girl. Then when you get home, you carry her body into your room. Mama also saw you dancing with the girl. Then this morning, you refused to hold the reception and Aliyya was also wearing your clothes. Mama's really confused by your attitude, Zein." said Sonia.

Zein remained unmoved, her sharp eyes staring forward without looking at her. His anger this time was so high that to the crown and Sonia seemed to smile faintly at that.

"Zein. You can tell Mama everything. If you tell me everything, then Mama will know your problem and Mama can help you with pleasure, son." said Sonia while persuading the angry Zein.

"I've burned that shirt, Ma!" zein answered that stopped his run on the Treadmill.

Sonia seemed to grin with satisfaction when the son said that. A happiness for himself that since yesterday and today has been fed up with the behavior of Umar who always defended his favorite nephew.

"I'm really sorry, Ma. Right now I realize that I have disappointed my mother a lot. I don't want to listen to Mama's words and that's why I always get in trouble. Mama's right! I shouldn't have gone to Jogja and I shouldn't have come back when the wedding started, then none of this would have happened. Now I'm really very sorry, Ma. I'm really sorry for Mama." said Zein who revealed her heart.

"It's okay, honey. Mama understands how you feel right now. Since childhood you have always been like this, Zein." replied Sonia while tightly hugging the beloved son.

Zein also returned the embrace of the mother was no less tight, shed all the turmoil of his heart which is currently filled with regret for being married to Aliyya. What a useless regret, Zein Abdullah!

"You remember, when you were a kid. You're very stubborn and never listen to what you're saying. You were carrying a stray kitten inside this house. Though Mama has warned you, if the cat will only bring illness and Mama will buy a kitten better than that. But you don't want to listen to Mama, Zein." Sonia said as she walked with Zein by the pool.

"Yes Ma, I remember those memories. But not long after, the kitten went missing and left this house, never even to return." - Timpal Zein who saw Sonia.

"You're right, honey. But the kitten did not disappear or run away, but Mama who let go. More precisely, Mama has thrown it away and it's all for your health, Zein." said Sonia while stroking the face of the son.

Zein was stunned for a moment, trying to understand the purpose of the mother's words. While Sonia only grinned thinly and her hornbill, Zein was unaware of it.

"Go take a shower, Zein. Cleanse yourself." said Sonia while gently stroking her son's face.

Zein, who was silent, awoke from the daydream and went and left Sonia by the pool. The sneaky grin was now clearly visible on the elegant middle-aged woman's face. I don't know what Sonia is thinking right now so her face looks creepy to anyone who sees it.

After feeling calm and relieved, Aliyya also chose to surround Umar's house which was very large like the royal palace. When Aliyya was walking towards the kitchen, she saw Bi Sumi who was tidying up the equipment there. The beautiful girl also approached the middle-aged ART.

"What is Bi Sumi doing?" said Aliyya who walked over to the middle-aged ART.

"Miss Aliyya... Aunt is tidying up this dirty kitchen, Non. Not what are you doing here?" bi Sumi replied that she stopped her activities.

"I just want to see the condition of this house, Bi. Uncle's house is huge. I got confused to go through it one by one." said Aliyya while circulating the view.

"Why didn't Non Aliyya invite Mr Zein? She's Non's husband and she can tell anything about this house." Bi Sumi said as she reached for Aliyya's hand.

Aliyya was silent, trying to comment the smile on her face on Bi Sumi and cover up what was going on between her and Zein. Because from the beginning of marriage, only he and Zein know what they are going through right now. An unwanted relationship occurs in the lives of both.

"Non... Why just shut up? You're all right, aren't you?" said Bi Sumi who disbanded Aliyya.

"Ah yes, Bi. We're doing fine. Zein is a nice guy and very sweet, but he's a little bit of a bitch. Maybe because he is Uncle's favorite son, Bi." replied Aliyya while smiling and chuckling little with Bi Sumi.

"Non Aliyya could have. Since childhood, Mr. Zein was indeed very spoiled with Mr. Umar, and whatever he wanted, Mr. Umar would always give it. Aunty still remembers the childhood of Mr. Zein because since childhood Aunt who nurtured him." Bi Sumi said as she clasped Aliyya's hand.

Aliyya was stunned by Bi Sumi's words. He only knew that Bi Sumi was the one who cared for and nurtured Zein since childhood. Zein looked closer to Umar than Sonia.

"Auntie is so grateful that Zein married you, son. Because Auntie can see sincerity in your eyes. Aunt is very sure that your marriage will be happy. Aunty feels something different from you and only you can change Zein." Bi Sumi said as she stroked Aliyya's face.

"But Bi..."

"Auntie has something for you. Waita minute!" cut off Bi Sumi who suddenly remembered something.

Bi Sumi also walked towards her room which was not far from the kitchen. While Aliyya just put on an astonished expression looking at Bi Sumi's behavior. Actually what Bi Sumi wanted to give to Aliyya until the middle-aged ART face looked sparkling with pleasure.

"It's..."

"What is Bi?"

"This is Zein's earring. At that time, he once got a lot of money from Mr. Umar, then with that money, he went and wanted to buy toys. But when he reached the market, the boy instead bought these earrings and gave them to Auntie for fear of being caught by Lady Sonia. Zein asked Bibi to keep it and he asked Bibi to give these earrings to his wife later." Bi Sumi told him about Zein's childhood.

Aliyya smiled clumsyly as her hand grabbed the pretty earrings. For some reason after hearing Bi Sumi's story, it seemed to be his energy to encourage him to face Zein's attitude. Slowly, the previously high emotions suddenly evaporated as his eyes continued to look at the earrings.

"Keep those earrings, son. Just use it when you need those earrings. Surely you will look more beautiful if you wear it later." Bi Sumi said while stroking Aliyya's face.

"Thank you Bi..."

Aliyya hugged Bi Sumi. In this house, other than Umar and Farhan, only Bi Sumi received herself into the house. Although Bi Sumi was only ART, but her affection and attention were enough for Aliyya.

"May you always be happy, son" said Bi Sumi who still hugged Aliyya's body tightly.

***

Not felt, the day was getting longer. Aliyya who had dried her clothes now seemed to be walking inside while carrying her suitcase bag. Aliyya also walked up the stairs, about to enter her room. No, not his room, but Zein's room and he just hitchhiked in there. How cruel!!!

When Aliyya opened the door and was about to enter, suddenly the door that had not been locked was now tightly closed and locked. When he took his clothes in the back, the door was still open and unlocked.

"Is it possible that Zein has locked this room and wants to expel me? How ugly you are, Zein!!!"

Aliyya suddenly became sad, but her sense of regret was greater than the disappointment in her heart. Without Aliyya noticing, there was a pair of eyes that were paying attention to her movements since earlier.

"What's up, Aliyya?"

Aliyya turned to the source of the voice in surprise.

"Mama.. the door..."

"Why did you lock Aliyya's door?"

It turned out that the pair of eyes that had been watching Aliyya since earlier was Sonia.

"I didn't lock..."

"In this house no one locks the door, Aliyya. Because it will complicate the work of the servants." cut Sonia down quickly.

"But Ma, I..."

"Zein must have forgotten to tell you that there is no need to lock the door in this house." cut Sonia again without giving Aliyya a chance to explain.

Aliyya also only let out a long breath. Every time he wanted to explain the door, Sonia always cut her words.

"Yes, then go to the guest room downstairs. Bring your suitcase and Mama will take the guest room key for you. Wait a minute." said Sonia who grabbed Aliyya's shoulder.

"All right, Ma..."

Aliyya also moved while lifting her suitcase bag that looked very heavy. While Sonia, the middle-aged woman was just a sneaky grin behind Aliyya. I don't know what he's doing to his daughter-in-law.

"Today I will show you what your position in this house is like, country girl!!!"

Sonia went up and chose the stairs on the side. Meanwhile, Aliyya who went down the front stairs, had arrived in front of the guest room referred to by the mother-in-law.

"Excuse me sir, can you open that door for me? I want to put my suitcase into this room." Aliyya told the waiter who had just exited the guest room.

"Sorry Madam, but this room has been prepared for Mr. Umar's guest from abroad" replied the maid, bowing her head.

Aliyya was silent and confused about what else, Zein's room was locked and the guest room was tidied up for the upcoming guests.

"Geez, Mama's sorry, Aliyya. I forgot about the overseas guest. Like this, you go out and wait in the living room first and we'll talk for a while" said Sonia.

"All right..."

Aliyya obeyed Sonia again. Meanwhile, Sonia seemed smirked satisfied to see her husband's niece was in trouble. Looks like Sonia deliberately made things difficult for Aliyya in the house by locking Zein's room. All of that was done by Sonia who wanted to make Aliyya not at home.

Sonia followed Aliyya who was sitting in the living room. While the beautiful girl can only smile without thinking badly of the mother-in-law.

"Aliyya, you can't sit on the sofa, because it's been cleaned for the guests who will come." said Sonia who just came and stood beside Aliyya.

Aliyya immediately moved from her seat and turned towards Sonia.

"Then Mama will take you to your resting place. I mean Mama, to your new room and also Zein's room." said Sonia who put on a pretend good face on Aliyya.

Aliyya just smiled and nodded. Then he lifted his suitcase again. While Sonia immediately held Aliyya's hand with a strong grip of her hand. Sonia's face changed instantly. A clear cut of hatred was seen on the face of the mother of two children.

The two women of different generations walked out of the house. Sonia was dragging Aliyya out of the house. Without Aliyya realizing that she is currently being subtly expelled by the mother-in-law.

Drrrttt!

When they reached right in front of the gate, Sonia's phone suddenly shook and she immediately picked it up regardless of Aliyya.

"Hallo... oh yeah, how are you?" said Sonia who picked up the phone out of who it was.

Aliyya just fell silent and followed Sonia. Sonia was talking on the phone.

"Oh yes, the file is on me. Yes, everything is in my room. Well, then let me take it first." said Sonia who was still talking to someone.

Not caring about Aliyya who was waiting for him since, Sonia rushed into the house and left Aliyya in front of the gate of her house with her suitcase.

"Mama..."

Aliyya also tried to call Sonia who was walking towards the house but Sonia just waved her hand, as if asking Aliyya to wait for her there. And what happened to Aliyya? The girl could only resign herself and wait for Sonia in front of the gate. Meanwhile, Sonia, the middle-aged woman and the wicked mother-in-law, seemed to grin with satisfaction as she stood at her doorstep and turned off her phone.

"Welcome wait for your departure, Aliyya!"
