Forced to Marry an Uncle's Child

Episode 19 ~ Always Wrong

...🌹🌹🌹...

Aliyya was sitting pensively near the gate. Without notice a clear grain fell from his eyes, accompanying him in silence. The memory of her brain was forced to spin on its own without being told and recall all the hard words that came out of her husband's mouth.

The clear thread continued to flow on Aliyya's pretty face. It seems he is lamenting the fate of his marriage with Zein who is somehow in the future. While Zein's attitude is getting worse on him and often makes his tears continue to flow. But what can he do other than sacrifice for his father.

"I must remain patient and strong!!!"

***

"I'll talk to you later, Zal."

Zein who just returned from the outside after leaving with Rizal ended the conversation from his cellphone. While walking upstairs, Zein put her phone in her pants pocket.

Bruk!

When he was about to enter his room, Zein was surprised by the condition of his locked bedroom door. Zein fell silent and his memory turned back to what Aliyya had said last night.

"It must be because of the favorite nephew. He purposely locked the door so I couldn't get in and bother him again. Fuck up!"

Zein walked away and left the door of his room still locked.

***

"What are you really planning? If Papa comes home and sees Aliyya sitting outside how?"

Sonia who was sitting in the living room with her two daughters-in-law also seemed to sneer cunningly when she heard Namira's question. While Shafia smiles instead, as if agreeing to whatever Sonia's plans.

"You take it easy, Namira. Let's see what happens to the girl" replied Sonia, who stood on her back.

"Whatever it is, Mama's plan must be very good until Aliyya goes out and carries her bag." Shafia's timps chuckled and glanced at Namira.

Namira who saw Shafia's glance just grunted annoyedly. While Sonia only smiled cunningly when she remembered the incident earlier.

"Bi Sumi, please make warm tea for Aliyya who is currently in the guest room and do not forget to provide food for her too" said Sonia who saw Bi Sumi passing by.

"Alright Madam..."

Bi Sumi was gone and Sonia was still with a sharp grin on her face. What exactly was the middle-aged woman's plan until Aliyya was left waiting outside alone. How cruel!!!

***

"Thank you..."

The housekeeper left after opening the door to Zein's locked room. While Zein went in and sat leaning on the sofa that belonged to his room.

"I finally get to enjoy my old room without a lot of bridal flowers and that lady certainly."

Zein breathed a sigh of relief while sitting leaning on the sofa. Blowing wind also entered on the sidelines of his room window and made Zein feel a very extraordinary comfort. But when Zein was enjoying the peaceful atmosphere with a gust of wind during the day, suddenly the wind disappeared and resuscitated him.

"Kh!!! Why did the wind stop? It sucks."

Zein moved and went out. But when his feet were about to step, suddenly the corner of his eyes was fixed on someone who was sitting outside, precisely near the gate of the house. The curious Zein turned his head and looked at the window to see the figure.

"Aliyya... Why is he sitting outside? After locking the door why was he sitting there? What else is he planning on doing on a mission?"

The curious Zein was astonished when he saw the wife sitting on a suitcase while pensive near the gate.

Drrrrt!

When Zein's eyes were watching the wife sitting outside, suddenly his phone shook again and managed to disperse Zein. Then Zein immediately grabbed his phone in his pants pocket and saw what the name of the person on his phone screen was.

"Aunt Sabrina..."

Zein instantly panicked when he saw the name. Surely Sabrina will ask Aliyya whereabouts, while at this time the girl is sitting pensively outside alone. Zein let out a rude sigh and picked up the phone from the aunt there.

"Assalamualaikum Bi..."

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Zein. How are you and Aliyya? You guys okay?" replied the aunt across the street.

"Of course, Bi. Me and Aliyya were very kind." replied Zein who walked over to the window and saw Aliyya below.

"Thank God, Auntie was happy to hear that. Oh yes Zein, Auntie wants to talk to Aliyya. Can I talk to your wife for a minute? sabrina said behind the phone.

"Of course you can, Bi. But Aliyya was currently going out and was not in the room. Later let me give her Aunt's message." replied Zein who was nervous and trying to calm down.

"Yes, please tell Aliyya that Auntie called you yes" said Sabrina, who fortunately did not suspect Zein.

"Alright Bi..."

The phone connection was also cut off. Then Zein rushed out of the room and was about to catch up with Aliyya outside to tell the girl that her mother had just called her. But while Zein is walking through the living room, he meets Sonia, Namira and Shafia.

"Zein.. Where are you going, honey?" asked Sonia who got up from her seat.

"I want to give my phone to Aliyya, Ma. Aunty called me and asked Aliyya. Oh yes Ma, why can Aliyya sit outside?" asked Zein who was walking closer to her mother.

"Aliyya is outside? You mean what Zein? The girl from the small town was indeed very petty and strange. We can't guess what's on his mind. Yes, let the waiter just give your phone to the girl." said Sonia who certainly pretended not to know everything.

"It's okay, Ma. Let me give him this phone." replied Zein.

Zein who feels strange with Sonia's attitude also chose to give her phone directly to Aliyya. Meanwhile, Sonia seemed to snort angrily at the son's reply.

"Aren't you able to stay away from that girl?"

Zein's steps stopped immediately upon hearing Sonia's words. But Zein paid little heed to the words and remained silent. Then Zein was about to continue his steps and meet Aliyya. But at the same time, Umar who had just returned to work entered with Aliyya.

"Zein... Why did you lock the door?" ''' asked Umar, who looked intently at his son.

Zein was stunned when he heard the father's question that had just come. He also did not know who had locked the door. Zein's eyes were fixed on Aliyya with her sharp eyes. Meanwhile, Aliyya also looked at him with a look full of annoyance and disappointment.

"But I did not lock the door to the room, Pa." replied Zein who looked at Umar again.

"Enough Zein!!! This is not funny, it is an insult!!! Why do you have to lock the door? Isn't that room Aliyya's room?" said Umar who looked intently at the son.

"But I really didn't lock it, Pa. Why don't you just ask the person who used the room after me?" replied Zein who defended herself then glanced towards Aliyya.

"But I didn't lock that room, Zein. I don't even have the keys to the room." replied Aliyya with her voice held back.

"Zeez..."

"At that time Zein was with me, Pa." cut off Sonia who had been standing behind Zein.

Sonia who heard and saw all those scenes just smirked in satisfaction since earlier. This was what he wanted, creating a misunderstanding between his son and Aliyya by involving Umar. That way, Zein will be cornered and the man will hate Aliyya even more.

"Zein didn't lock the room and I testified. Aliyya... Please explain, how did you get to be outside of Nak?" said Sonia who looked at Umar and turned to Aliyya.

"But it was Mama who asked me to come out and...."

"Oh mama's intention is to go out to the guest house, Aliyya. Not out of the house. Even Mama had also asked Bi Sumi to deliver food for you there." cut Sonia while grabbing Aliyya's shoulder.

Bi Sumi who brought food and drinks came. His face looked panicked from not finding Aliyya.

"Where have you been, darling?" ask Bi Sumi who looks relieved after meeting Aliyya.

"I'm..."

"It looks like you misunderstood, Aliyya. Mama is sorry. Maybe at that time Mama gave you less explanation. Right now, your room key is open. Go, go into your room and rest because you must be tired." cut Sonia while grabbing Aliyya's shoulder.

Aliyya was completely astonished by Sonia's attitude. It's weird, confused and weird. Why did the mother-in-law speak like that in front of Umar and Zein, as if she had acted recklessly and foolishly in this mansion. Aliyya just pecked for a moment, even to give an explanation he was always cut by Sonia. While Umar was surprised, just trying to calm Aliyya.

"Go to your room, son. Because later tonight, we will talk about your wedding reception and Zein which will be held tomorrow afternoon." said Umar who still embraces Aliyya's shoulder.

"All right Pa..."

Aliyya went and was escorted by Bi Sumi to her room. While Zein, Sonia, Namira and Shafia, they looked very surprised by what Umar had just said.

"So Papa keeps having that reception?" asked Zein who was very surprised and disappointed.

"Zein... Why are you acting like a child like this? Aliyya is your wife and she is your responsibility now. Papa wants you to take responsibility, Zein! And the matter of the reception, you should not refuse it anymore since Papa has already prepared everything for it!!!" ''' Umar said that confirms the son.

The angry Zein snorted and walked away, and so did Umar. While Sonia chose to catch up with her son who was mellowing emotions in the side yard.

"Pacify yourself, Zein. Mama knows you're upset but don't make you hate your own papa, son." said Sonia who tried to calm Zein down.

"I'm really fed up with all this, Ma. The girl who had locked the door and then arbitrarily went out of the house and waited for Papa to come home. That way I'm always wrong in Papa's eyes. This is so unfair and so annoying, Ma. I hate it so much and I can't stand all this drama!!!" said Zein while ruffling his face rough.

Sonia seemed to grin with satisfaction again after hearing the son's words. Zein did not know that the door was deliberately the key to create hatred in Zein's heart on Aliyya and his plan succeeded.

"Mama understands how you feel, son. You think Mama can stand to see his attitude? Moreover, the girl has created a very high wall between you and your father. Mama can forgive whatever Aliyya's faults, except this one, Zein. Mama knows your father very well and Mama is sure, today or tomorrow, your father will realize what his favorite nephew is like. Mama will help you in her own way, Zein. You don't worry." said Sonia who grabbed the son's shoulder.

Zein was silent too. Either he agrees with Sonia's words, either not. But from the look on his face that was still reddened, it seemed that the man had resigned to Sonia's actions to end her marriage to Aliyya.

"Go to your room and rest. Later that night we will talk about the reception" said Sonia while rubbing Zein's shoulder.

"But I don't want that reception, Ma" replied Zein who stared intently at Sonia.

"It's not nice to be that way with your papa, Zein. He has prepared everything just for you." said Sonia who is certainly not sincere.

"But I still don't want to, Ma! Point!" zein then left Sonia.

Sonia smiled satisfied to see Zein's response which was the purpose of her plan. Very cunning and cruel!!! What kind of mother-in-law is Aliyya facing right now and somehow Sonia hates Aliyya so much. That remains a mystery to this day.

***

"Where have you been, Zein?"

Aliyya who had just finished praying ashar also saw Zein enter without saying hello. But Zein seemed to ignore the wife who asked him and he just kept walking into the bathroom.

Aliyya only let out a long sigh while massaging her chest to remain patient in the face of Zein's attitude. Not long after, Zein came out of the bathroom and his clothes were swapped again.

"Zein.. Where are you going? Later that night Papa wants to talk about the reception and we have to follow him." said Aliyya as she grabbed Zein's arm as she was about to go out.

Zein turned his head sharply towards Aliyya and the look of hatred was increasingly apparent from his eyes. While Aliyya's hand was still holding Zein's arm and looking at her.

"A relationship based on lies and falsehoods, will never give true happiness" said Zein who still stared intently at Aliyya while removing the girl's hand from her arm.

"Then what if the lie is destiny in one's life?" asked Aliyya who was staring at the husband.

"It's not fate and it's never going to happen. If you still want to hold the reception, go ahead. Sit on your own lap and spread your own happiness!" zein's toilet passed away leaving Aliyya.

Zein went out of nowhere and let Aliyya pensive after hearing the words spoken from her mouth. Meanwhile, Aliyya could only let out a long sigh and tried to remain patient in the face of Zein's attitude that increasingly did not hate her.

***

The night came and everyone was gathered in the living room.

I'm sure Zein won't be talking about the wedding reception Umar planned. Sonia murmured in the heart.

Umar seemed to be busy with his phone. Farhan, Namira and Shafia are sitting next to each other. Then Sonia was busy with her own thoughts.

"Well, that's Aliyya" said Umar who saw Aliyya.

"Sorry Pa, if I'm late" said Aliyya who stood beside Umar.

"No, Aliyya. You came on time. Come, sit. Oh yeah, where's Zein?" '' Umar answered, asking for the whereabouts of his son.

"Zeez... Zein didn't want to come to discuss the matter of this reception, Pa." replied Aliyya who was quite nervous.

Umar's face instantly turned pias and could not believe that his son really did not want a reception at his wedding with Aliyya. While Sonia who heard that seemed to smile with satisfaction because she managed to influence Zein.

"Don't say anything you don't know!!!"

That baritone voice suddenly came and stole everyone's attention. Now the look on Sonia's face turned pias when she saw Zein coming. That means, the son will come to discuss the matter of his wedding reception. While Umar looked smiling and of course happy because his beloved son did not disappoint him a second time.

"What are you thinking about Al? It will cause misunderstandings again later." said Zein who came and stood beside Aliyya.

Aliyya just kept quiet, trying to find something in Zein's eyes and sure enough, Aliyya could see that her husband was having a show at this time so that Umar would not be angry with her anymore.

"All right then. Let's get together." - Timpal Umar who got excited again.

Aliyya nodded and sat down. But when Aliyya was about to step, Zein's hand first gripped her hand and then brought her face closer to Aliyya's ear.

"Don't be happy! What do you think about this? You've started this game and I'll follow all your games. But especially tonight, you're the one who has to follow my game because I'm going to win this game!" zein whispered in Aliyya's ear.

Zein also released the clutches of his hands in Aliyya's hands and chose to sit down. Aliyya followed Zein and their discussion began. During the discussion, Sonia seemed uninspired. It was all because of Zein who should not have come and left Aliyya, but she instead came.

I can't let Zein stay close to a village girl who doesn't know herself. Sonia murmured in the heart.
