Forced to Marry an Uncle's Child

Episode 2 ~ Almost Failed

...🌹🌹🌹...

"Wait!!! Stop this marriage."

Hearing that voice, everyone turned to the source of the voice. Then...

"Are you in your right mind to marry that woman? The woman's trust is definitely not the same as ours, Rizal."

It turned out that the man who was about to get married was Rizal. The handsome man gnashed his forehead as he narrowed his eyes and tried to see who would dare to stop his wedding plans.

"Zeez..."

It turns out that the motorized man is Zein who came and tried to stop the marriage of his best friend named Rizal Syahputra.

"Kh!!! You've always been in the way of my plans, Zein. I want to marry him." Rizal loudly said.

"No, Zal. You can't marry that woman. What about our relationship?" zein said while embracing Rizal's shoulder.

Rizal, who did not understand Zein's intention, frowned. While Zein just smiled cunningly at his best friend.

"What do you mean, Zein?"

"Piwiiittt..."

Zein's piwitan voice that sounded very loud seemed to call someone. Not long after, came a delman carrying a giant image.

"Open that picture!!!" zain exclaimed at the person carrying the delman.

The man opened the picture and everyone who saw him was shocked. In the picture it is very clear to see a picture of the two, Zein and Rizal who were holding hands. Not only that, they also look friendly on other photos that are real stuck in the delman iti.

Plaque!

One slap also managed to float smoothly on the cheeks of Rizal from a bule woman who was none other than the sudden wife of Rizal.

"Basic liar!!!" screech the woman and leave.

"Darling.it's not me. Honey wait.." said Rizal who tried to stop the woman.

Zein who saw everyone disband from the event could only laugh loosely. The mission and his plan succeed to cancel Rizal's wedding plans.

"You're my enemy or my best friend, haa!" rizal's pissed off at Zein.

"Already, Zal. There are still a lot of beautiful women out there. That woman doesn't deserve you. We better get out of here." replied Zein who relaxed while embracing Rizal's shoulder.

Rizal who was still upset and angry just kept quiet and his face pouted because of Zein.

Jakarta

Umar went to the office. But before arriving, he stopped by for a while at a mosque to perform dhuha prayers.

Give me peace in my family, O God. Umar murmured in his heart.

After he finished his prayer, Umar continued his journey to the office. When the car started to run, suddenly the phone rang.

"Sabrina..."

Umar immediately picked up the phone of his brother who was far away. Then...

"Assalamualaikum, sister." said Sabrina who was sitting in her house with Galuh.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, sister. How are you and your husband there?" answer the pleased Umar.

"Alhamdulillah, Brother. Me and I are healthy here. Brother Umar himself how?" ask back Sabrina.

"Thank God. I am the same, healthy as you." replied Umar who chuckled.

"Thank God, Brother. I just wanted to know about you and tell you that this afternoon there will be a family coming to the house. They want to propose to your niece, sister." Sabrina said.

"Oh, so Aliyya is getting married. This is very good news, Sabrina. I'm happy for you. Hopefully the show will be smooth." replied Umar who was happy.

"Thank you, Brother. I send greetings to Sonia Brother. Assalamualaikum." said Sabrina.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Umar who hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Umar also intends to contact his favorite nephew. Suddenly, someone from abroad contacted him.

"What else happened to my son there until Mr. Wilson called me like this?"

Umar picked up the phone from Mr. Wilson from abroad.

"What's up, Mr Wilson?" tanya Umar picked up the phone.

"Your beloved son did not enter again today, Mr. Umar." replied Mr. Wilson's in there.

I don't think the journey to the office is over. Umar got out of the car. But his phone is still connected to Mr. Wilson is in London.

"I'll call him, sir." said Umar as he walked to his study.

"Alright, Mr. Umar." replied Mr. Wilson.

After arriving in his room, Umar also contacted his son who was meant by Mr. Wilson.

"Cummer, Zein. Where are you?" umar asked his son, Zein.

Yep... Zein was the second son of Umar and Sonia. Farhan's brother and Umar's favorite son. He is also one of the largest shareholders after Farhan in his company. But because of Zein's behavior and nature that tends to be undisciplined, making him look like a man who is petty, naughty and playboy.

"Call, Pa. Right now I'm on campus, Pa." replied Zein who lied.

"If you're really on campus. Let's have a video call. Papa wants to see that you're really on campus" Umar told Zein.

Zein, who was at her friend's wedding, panicked. Then he immediately ran towards a building that was quite tall and hoped that the papa could be lied to this time.

"Hi, Pa. Can Papa trust me? I'm on campus right now." replied Zein who was still determined to lie.

"Don't lie. That's not your college. You better go home tomorrow. Papa has prepared a ticket for you." said Umar.

Zein who was caught lying was only scratching his head while the horse's grin on the papa during the video call. While Umar could only shake his head to see the behavior of the son who never changed.

Hearing the orders of Umar who asked him to immediately return to Indonesia, managed to make the beloved son feel astonished and confused. Zein knew very well the nature of the papa who was hard and firm, even to continue the study in London was not his own desire, but the desire of Umar. But why Umar told him to go home, really made Zein surprised.

"Why should I go home Pa?" asked Zein who was frowning in wonder.

"Don't ask too many questions, Zein. Instead of you doing weird things there, you better go home because Papa will ask you to go somewhere."

Still in the video call connection, Zein who was still amazed by the desire of the father also sighed violently and smiled.

"Alright, Pa. Zein will come home tomorrow." replied Zein who obeyed the words of the father.

"Papa wait for you at home" said Umar who hung up the phone.

After he finished calling his son, Umar intended to continue the work. But his eyes suddenly shifted when he saw a beautiful small box on his desk.

"What's this box?"

Umar opened the box and found a small kaaba monument complete with the Qur'an beside it. The monument is very small and beautiful if placed on the table, able to make the heart and mind of the owner of the eye smile sweetly.

"That's lovely. Who sent this?"

Umar checked the small box again and there was a small letter inside. Then...

"Aliya..."

It turned out that the gift was from Aliyya, his nephew who was in Yogyakarta. Umar opened the letter and read it.

The contents of Aliyya's letter :

Assalamualaikum, Uncle. Hope you like this little gift. Aliyya deliberately gave this small and beautiful gift to Uncle, so that Uncle would always be in his protection. Healthy always Uncle.

"You're getting older, son."

Umar loved Aliyya as the son of his younger sister. With that little gift alone made Umar feel calm because according to him, only Aliyya could make him calm like that.

"Oh my goodness, my. Where did your daughter go anyway? Zaki's family has come and Aliyya has not come home yet" Sabrina said, preparing a drink.

Zaki Mahendra Putra is a handsome, tall man and a young businessman. He is the man who will be betrothed to Aliyya. The Zaki family is now in the living room. Sabrina was preparing drinks for them with Galuh.

"Yes, let's go there" said Sabrina, who brought a drink.

Sabrina and Galuh walked towards the living room. Sabrina instantly gave drinks and snacks to guests.

"Please drink, Ma'am, Mas" said Sabrina who serves drinks.

"Where's your daughter, Sabrina?" ask the middle-aged woman who is none other than Zaki's mother.

"He's outside, Ma'am. Perhaps she will be home soon." replied Sabrina who was nervous and seemed hesitant.

Zaki's mother just nodded, while Zaki herself was engrossed in seeing the photo of Aliyya that Sabrina had given her.

***

Unknowingly, it was getting late. After he finished taking care of his affairs, Aliyya also intended to return home. But he still acted very relaxed, it seems that the girl had forgotten the message of her mother earlier.

While riding a bicycle, suddenly his phone rang. Aliyya stopped by the side of the road and grabbed her phone.

"Yes Allah... Aldha called. My mom and dad are looking for me. Why did I forget like this?"

Aliyya picks up the phone with Aldha, her only sister. With a doubtful expression, Aliyya landed her phone to her right ear.

"Hallo, Brother. Brother where? Kak Zaki's family has been coming to our house since then." said Aldha who looked panicked.

"Yes, Al. Brother will be home soon. Tell Mom and Dad that you're on your way home" replied Aliyya.

"Quick, Brother. It seems like Kak Zaki can't wait to see you." said Aldha who even teased the brother.

"You're what the hell. What's that guy like? Is he handsome, tall and my type?" aliyya said very curious.

"So don't look at it yourself. Dah." replied Aldha then hung up the phone.

Aliyya was upset when her question was not answered by her sister. Aliyya then continued on her way home.

Aliyya pedaled her bike very hard. Not long after, Aliyya arrived at her yard. Aliyya ran straight in. But as he entered, everyone stared intently at him.

"Why so long? It's Aliyya's afternoon." said Sabrina who moved and approached the princess.

"Aliyya is sorry, ma'am." replied Aliyya who did not dare to look at the mother.

"The proposal almost failed because of this attitude of yours, Aliyya. Next time don't be like this again, son." said Sabrina while stroking Aliyya's face.

Aliyya was surprised to hear that. He tried to digest his mother's words.

"I mean Mom?" ask the curious Aliyya.

"Zaki's family agrees with the proposal and Mom's son is getting married soon. Your marriage will take place in this week." replied the teary Sabrina.

Aliyya smiled happily. Although he must be betrothed, but according to him, the choice of his parents is the best choice for him. That was the reason Aliyya wanted to be betrothed.

"Congratulations, Brother. Soon Brother will be a wife." said Aldha who hugged Aliyya.

"Congratulations, dear. Father's daughter will soon marry a handsome man." Galuh who joined happily and embraced the princess.

"Thank you, Father, Mother, Al." replied Aliyya who hugged the three.

The atmosphere enveloped the little family. Sabrina and Galuh were relieved that the proposal for their eldest daughter was going well, although it was constrained by the careless work of Aliyya.

***

"Sister..."

Not felt, it was late at night. Aliyya who was sitting relaxed in the garden chair was surprised when Aldha who suddenly came.

"Aldha. It always surprises you." said the careless Aliyya.

"Sister don't be angry dong. I'm here to ask you something." Aldha said, teasing her sister.

"Well, ask what?" asked Aliyya who was quite curious.

"Do you know what your face looks like?" answer Aldha who throws a question back.

Aliyya was silent. She only realized that she had not known him and had not even seen Zaki, who would become her future husband.

"Yet. Did you keep the picture of the man?" aliyya answered, asking back.

"Why do I keep a photo of my future husband. Your picture is already in his hands and he really likes your picture." Aldha explained.

"It's not fair. My picture was on him, and then I, didn't have a picture of him at all." Aliyya slapped her forehead.

Aldha just laughed amusedly at the cute behavior of his sister. As they were laughing, Sabrina suddenly came.

"You are, Al. It never changed since the old days. Headstrong and reckless. Fortunately they want to understand and continue the application, even without your presence" Sabrina said while sitting next to Aliyya.

"Why are you busy thinking about them? What about Aliyya? Did you ask Aliyya's opinion?" replied the pouting Aliyya.

"Why did you ask. Didn't you accept Zaki's proposal?" sabrina asked Aliyya.

"Yes, Mom. But I've never met that guy. How he is, how he is. I don't know everything, Mom." replied Aliyya who got up from her seat.

Sabrina took a deep breath and went along.

"What kind of husband is your husband-to-be darling? I think Zaki has met the type of prospective husband of your dream." said Sabrina while holding her daughter's shoulder.

Aliyya who got the question was silent, her mind glared out of nowhere. A sweet smile was also engraved beautifully on the two corners of her pink lips. Then the girl moved, walking through the park with her mind still glaring.

"There is a face of a man who is always present in Aliyya's dreams, Mom. But Aliyya did not see the face. Aliyya's dream husband type must be, stylish, funny, smart, not boring, good, there is a sweet smile on his face, can solve problems easily, be kind to parents, be kind to parents, it can make others smile." replied Aliyya who was still laughing.

Sabrina and Aldha who were listening to it just laughed amusedly and tried to digest what Aliyya was saying.

"There is a smile on his face, can solve problems easily, funny and can make others smile. It's yourself, Aliyya." Sabrina said, patting her daughter on the shoulder.

Aliyya smiled at him. I don't know why he said something like that unconsciously.

"Like Aliyya yes. It doesn't matter, Mom. As long as he has all those qualities, then Aliyya will accept him as Aliyya's husband." replied Aliyya who smiled happily.

Sabrina, Aliyya and Aldha laughed together after hearing Aliyya's words.

"Say, Ma. Does Zaki have all those qualities?" aliyya asked as she grabbed her mother's hand.

Sabrina was silent. He was trying to remember how Zaki was doing during the meeting. With hesitation, even Sabrina just nodded her head.

"Yes, Son. Sure oes. Zaki has all those qualities." replied Sabrina who was quite hesitant.

"I'll also accept Zaki, if I've seen his picture first" Aliyya said.

"You take it easy, son. You'll see a picture of Zaki tomorrow." - Galuh, who just arrived.

Aliyya just smiled and hugged her mother, father and sister together. Night full of stars also be a silent witness to the happiness of the cypress family. In the arms of the father and mother, Aliyya seemed to review a beautiful smile while looking up at the sky. I don't know what the girl was doing, it looks like she's throwing a do'a at her.

***

It was night in London, but morning in London. Zein and Rizal are at the airport. They want to go back to Indonesia soon. The impatient Zein accelerated his return plan.

"Sorry Mister. You will have to pay more for baggage because the items you carry are already beyond normal capacity."

When the handsome, stylish man entered the inspection stage, the officer seemed overwhelmed when weighing the weight of the suitcase that Zein brought from the apartment, where he lived while in London.

"Be prepared, Zein. You have to spend more money to pay for this much and useless stuff" said Rizal who whispered behind Zein.

Zein was silent and seemed to think for a moment. It didn't take long, Zein opened his suitcase and started his silly act again.

"What do you want to do, sir?"
