Forced to Marry an Uncle's Child

Episode 22 ~ Heavy Drunk

...🌹🌹🌹...

"Thank you, Sonia. Because you've been involved in preparing for all this."

Umar who already looks very neat and handsome also approached the wife. Sonia also looks very graceful and beautiful with her party dress. Now both of them, even everyone in the house was ready and were waiting for Aliyya and Zein to come. Both are preparing in different places. Zein goes to prepare alone out of nowhere, and Aliyya goes to the salon to get ready with Namira.

"It's my job as a mother and father-in-law, Pa. If it wasn't me who prepared everything, then who else." said Sonia who smiled and circulated her eyes.

"I know that very well. But, where are Zein and Aliyya? Why are they so long?" said Umar who circulated his gaze looking for the two brides.

"Aliyya was getting ready at the salon with Namira, while Zein was also getting ready and I told her to go to the salon as well, Pa." replied Sonia who smiled faintly.

"But why so long? This show is about to start. The guests have also come all." said Umar while looking around.

Sonia only smiled and appeared a thin grin on her lips as she looked at Umar's panic.

"Don't panic, Pa. They will soon be home. We better go there to welcome the guests." said Sonia who tried to divert Umar.

Umar who still looked agitated even just nodded and brushed off the anxiety of his heart, then followed Sonia towards the crowd of guests.

"I didn't steal anything, Mr. Police."

Aliyya gets cornered in the supermarket when she is accused of stealing one of the items. The beautiful Jogja girl in the reception clothes was still trying to convince the officers and the police, if she was not guilty.

"I beg! Believe that! I am not stealing! I don't even know why the watch was in my bag. Really, I didn't do anything that low, Mr. Police." said Aliyya who tried to beg and cry.

"But the evidence is already in your bag, miss. How can we trust you?" said one of the other police.

"But I didn't take it, sir. I might take something that is not mine. After all, you cannot accuse anyone without strong and clear evidence. You have accused me and speak politely because I am the son-in-law of Umar Abdullah. You understand!" aliyya who began to be upset because of being accused.

"Oh Mr. Umar Abdullah's son-in-law yes. One of the richest people in town and the owner of the Diamond Hotel? You think we'll just believe what you say?" an angry security officer.

Aliyya was stunned by the words of the security guard who sounded very rude. The clear thread in his eyes was dripping again, but the current situation was very tense and precarious.

"If you don't believe me, then let me prove that I am really the son-in-law of Mr. Umar Abdullah" Aliyya said as he reached for his phone.

The security guard and the two police officers looked at each other. Indirectly, they had allowed Aliyya to contact Umar even though they did not believe in it. While Aliyya, the girl seemed to rush to find Umar's name inside her phone without delay.

"Pa... Please pick up my phone!"

***

"Where are Aliyya and Zein?"

Umar, who was increasingly panicked and agitated, approached the wife again. While Sonia still looks relaxed and welcomes the arrival of the invited guests.

"They're on their way, Pa. Patience, soon they will come." said Sonia, wiping Umar's arm.

Umar just let out a long sigh and continued to look at the door, hoping that the two had arrived and the event could start soon.

Drrrrt!

When Umar's eyes were fixed on the door, the phone that had been in his hand shook and Aliyya's name dialed his number. Umar smiled and picked up Aliyya's phone and asked her whereabouts.

"Aliyya called me" Umar said, showing his phone to his wife.

"Let me pick it up, Pa. Papa is very handsome wearing this shirt." chimpal Sonia who praised while taking Umar's phone.

Umar who praised his wife was like hypnotized love in his eyes. The middle-aged man just fell silent and smiled while giving his phone to his wife. While Sonia immediately moved away from Umar who greeted one of the guests without suspecting the movements of the wife.

With a sharp grin, the middle-aged woman instantly turned off Umar's phone.

***

Aliyya panicked because she contacted Umar several times, but suddenly the uncle's phone died and could not be contacted.

"I don't know what happened. My father-in-law's cell phone could not be reached." said Aliyya, who was teary-eyed.

"We know that, Miss. Therefore, come with us to the police station willingly and do not argue. We beg you, Miss!" one of the policemen checked Aliyya's hand.

"I beg! Don't take me! I am not stealing! Let me call someone again." replied Aliyya who was trying to break away.

The police were forced to follow Aliyya's harsh request. Meanwhile, the girl had tears and cold sweat on her face when facing the officials of the country.

"Who else should I call? No one picked up my phone."

A panicked, chaotic and fearful Aliyya continued to rumble while searching for someone's name on her phone. The girl hoped that there would be someone who could help her and get out of this situation.

"Zeez..."

When Aliyya was looking for the name of a person who might be able to help her, she suddenly passed one name. Zein, that name made Aliyya doubtful. She had no choice but to contact her husband.

"Cash, Zein..."

"What's the matter with you calling me?" zein toilet.

"Zein.. I was arrested by the police at the supermarket for stealing.Please help me, Zein." replied Aliyya who was raucous and trying to calm down.

"What???" pekik Zein was surprised.

"Help me, Zein. I didn't steal anything" said Aliyya, who sought help.

"Give the cop your cell phone!" answer Zein.

"Speak to Zein. He. he. he. he is my husband." said the hesitant Aliyya then handed her phone to the policeman.

The policeman took Aliyya's cell phone and spoke to Zein who had no idea where she was. As the two were talking through Aliyya's cell phone, the policeman kept glancing at her and stared intently at her with a look that confused Aliyya. But what is in his mind right now is not that, the most important thing right now is, how he can escape the stupid accusations.

"All right..."

After saying one word, the police returned Aliyya's phone without saying. But her gaze made Aliyya very curious about what her husband said to the policeman.

***

"Farhan... Try to call your sister and ask her where she is now?"

Umar was really made to panic by Zein and Aliyya. But because Sonia tells him that Aliyya is on the road, Umar can accept it and try to calm down. Then what Sonia said to Umar was true? Of course not, because the middle-aged woman did not pick up Aliyya's phone and had lied to her husband.

Then Umar approached Farhan who also looked panicked because his brother did not come to the reception. The event should have started, but had to be delayed by a few minutes because Aliyya and Zein had not arrived.

Hearing the papa's word, Farhan also looked for his sister's mobile number on his cellphone.

"I'm here, Pa..."

Instantly all eyes were on Zein who entered the house drunk. The handsome man seemed to be holding a bottle of alcoholic beverages. Then he walked in, down the quiet crowd since his arrival. The state of Zein who was drunk heavily made his way and sometimes fell because of a loss of balance.

Bruk!

Zein fell down because of drinking and drunk. Then Sonia who saw it immediately approached her son and helped him up. While Umar was still silent to see the condition of his favorite son like that. He must have been very astonished and disappointed by Zein's attitude.

"Zein.. Are you drunk, son?" said Sonia who tried to support the burly body of the son.

"Sorry, Ma. I was drunk." replied Zein who was embracing his mother's shoulder.

Seeing that, Farhan did not remain silent. The man rushed to the brother who was drunk and was frustrated.

"Come Zein, we're in! I'll take you to the room." said Farhan as he reached for his sister.

"No, Brother. I don't want to go in. I want to talk to Papa. Let go of me, brother." said Zein who was called while walking.

"Later talk to Papa. You're drunk, Zein!" farhan answered, he grabbed his brother and brought him in.

"No, Brother! I want to talk to Papa right now, in front of everyone" Zein said, increasingly rummaging and losing control.

Zein escapes from Farhan. Then he staggered closer to Umar who was still fixated on seeing his condition. While the guests who have come, can only shut up and continue to watch the exciting show.

Just like Umar, Bi Sumi who was there also seemed fixated on seeing Zein like that. While Sonia and Shafia also flinch at the tense situation.

"Sorry, Pa. I'm sorry that I was drunk and I know that Papa hates it so much. But you know why I'm drunk? All this because of Papa's favorite nephew!!! He acted arbitrarily in my house, as if all of this belonged to him." said Zein, who raved uncontrollably.

Umar was silent, as were Sonia, Farhan, Shafia, Rizal and Bi Sumi, as well as the invited guests. They all just looked at Zein's behavior and the chatter coming out of his mouth.

"Sorry, Pa. I just remembered that Papa could not accept or hear a bad opinion about Papa's nephew. But this time, listen to me!!! Today, Zein will be speaking in front of everyone and will not be silent anymore!!! This house, this family and everything is mine!!! No one can be in my house! And Papa knows that I'm very possessive about it!!!"

Zein continued to rumble in front of Umar and everyone. Occasionally his body is bright, fighting on Sonia and Farhan. But sometimes, the handsome man who was drunk was just standing alone even though his body and mind were out of balance.

"But what has Papa's nephew done? She did it all, like she was my beloved wife. No, Pa!!! Then this reception!!! A reception to make everyone know I'm her husband! Can't, Pa!!!" zein was still drunk.

"Enough Zein!!!" '' said Umar who opened his voice.

"No, Pa! This time I can't be quiet. In Jogja, Papa told me to shut up. At the wedding, Papa also told me to shut up and all that I had done for Papa. In just a matter of minutes, my life was instantly ruined because Papa kept forcing me to get married! Why Pa? Why did Papa do all this to me? Does Papa know how hurt this son of Papa is? Even Papa didn't ask my opinion first for something this big. Papa just thought about the girl's feelings without caring about my feelings" Zein said.

"Zeez... Papa did all this because Papa knows which is best for your life" Umar said, holding his son's shoulders.

"No, Pa!!! None of this will ever be good for my life! All this is only good for Papa's good and obedient nephew, but not for me!!! Do you know why this is not true for me? Because I really hate Aliyya!!! I hate her so much from everything in my life!!! Every second of my breath, I will continue to hate it and it will never change!!! Tell me Pa, why is Papa doing all this?" zein tried to stand on his own.

"Zein. You haven't noticed it yet, son. One day, you will realize that this decision is the right one for you. Aliyya, she is the right girl for your life." Umar said as he grabbed the son's shoulder.

"Certainly Pa? I feel sorry for Papa's great faith. Do you know why I said this? Because earlier.." replied Zein who laughed then stopped talking.

Umar also looked at the astonished son who was still rumbling because of drunkenness. While Sonia and Shafia, seeming to sneer cunningly because they understand the situation they have deliberately made. Then Farhan, Bi Sumi and Rizal also looked astonished to hear Zein.

"Let's wait for Papa's favorite nephew to come. That way, Papa can see for himself what he has done." Zein said.

The confused Umar went back to look for something behind Zein's eyes. While Zein just smiled then turned to look at the door. A sharp grin was now engraved on Zein's handsome face. Slowly his hand lifted and pointed towards the door. Umar and everyone turned to point Zein's hand.

"Aliya..."

Umar's eyes rounded perfectly when he saw his favorite nephew coming with several police officers beside him. Sonia and Shafia smiled satisfiedly at that. But not with, Umar, Farhan, Rizal and Bi Sumi who looked dumbfounded and surprised.

Aliyya only resigned as her hand continued to be pulled by the Police in front of everyone. Shame, anger and disappointment. That was what Aliyya felt as her eyes turned and stared intently at her husband. The eyes of the two of them also flashed and threw hateful gazes at each other. Piles of clear globules are also visible in the eyes of both of them that are still locked firmly.

Now Aliyya understood that Zein had told the Police to bring her home so that she could be humiliated in front of everyone like this. Seeing Aliyya who was cornered, Umar who had been silent since then approached his nephew.

"Aliya..."
