Forced to Marry an Uncle's Child

Episode 23 ~ Wedding Guidelines

...🌹🌹🌹...

"Aliyya... What's up, son? Why did you come along with so many cops like this?"

Umar approached Aliyya and held her shoulder to give her peace and explain everything. Aliyya whose eyes have been blemished was trying to calm down. Then...

"Papa. I'm being accused..."

"No, Pa!!! Let me just tell everyone to let them know who the girl really is." cut Zein while walking.

Thrilled, Zein walks up to the wedding reception ready for Aliyya today. Then....

"Honor guests! Hear that! Today is the day of my wedding reception with the girl. He was my papa's favorite nephew and this show was made because I was married to him. I'm sorry that my beautiful wife came late, but that doesn't matter. The most important thing right now was, why could the girl arrive late! The reason came too late because, he had been caught stealing expensive items in one of the supermarkets in Jakarta!" said Zein who was drunk and increasingly frustrated it seems.

Umar, who heard this, turned to Aliyya. While Aliyya continued to pay attention to Zein who was drunk and raved incessantly. Everyone seemed to be in disbelief at all Zein's words. Bi Sumi, Farhan and Rizal were also stunned to hear all that. But Sonia and Shafia look different because they are so happy to see all this.

"He has stolen!" said Zein.

"Silence Zein!" yang Umar who began to grow angry.

Umar put his nephew on his shoulder and took Aliyya somewhere else to talk. The atmosphere that was increasingly tense because of Zein's actions made Aliyya more cornered.

"If I love that girl, then this very second I will write an inscription on my palm!!! My beloved wife is a luxury goods thief!" said Zein.

"Can you shut up, Zein!!!"

Umar, who had been able to keep quiet and little by little give an explanation to the son, had now exhausted his patience. Zein had been talking badly about Aliyya in front of everyone, but Umar could still hold her back. But not after Zein insulted Aliyya as a thief. Aliyya also walked to approach Zein who was still standing in front of the pelaminan. Staring at the man with a look of hope as well as hatred that reached the peak of its limit.

"I'm not stealing, Zein! I'm not a thief!"

Aliyya's raucous voice sounded very clearly in everyone's ears, including Zein. Then Zein walked up to Aliyya and pulled her back to the police.

"Tell all of us, Mr. Police. What has this girl done in the supermarket." said Zein, pushing Aliyya rudely.

"This lady was caught by a security guard, sir. He had stolen one of the items there and it was in his bag" said the police officer, who explained everything.

"Did you hear that, right? Like this is the daughter-in-law that Papa chose to live with me and I have to spend my time with her?" timpal Zein is still drunk.

Umar fell silent again, trying to calm down while looking for a way out of this problem. While Sonia and Shafia, the two women of different generations continued to grin with satisfaction at the crying Aliyya. Then Umar approached Aliyya who was bowed down sad because he mourned the fate of his marriage and the fate of the uncle who had to feel shame because of it.

"Aliyya, my son.. What really happened?" tanya Umar who tried to strengthen Aliyya.

"Papa. I really didn't steal anything. I also don't know why that expensive item is in my bag." replied the raucous Aliyya.

"What are you doing there, Aliyya? Didn't you go to the salon with Namira?" timpal Sonia who spoke up and certainly wanted to corner Aliyya.

"I did go with Namira, Ma. And I want to buy the medicine for Mama." replied Aliyya who tried to calm down.

"Indeed, Mama told you to buy that medicine? Mama told Namira, not you!" sonia was angry and deliberate.

"Yes Ma, but I..."

"Where is Namira now?" cut off Sonia who further cornered Aliyya.

"I don't know, Ma. But I've seen it coming out of the supermarket." replied Aliyya who had seen Namira leave.

"Pa... Where's your phone?"

Without waiting for her husband's answer, Sonia immediately took her phone in her pocket and contacted Namira. With the sound of a raised phone speaker, Namira who still hasn't come home is connected.

"Hallo Namira.." said Sonia.

"Ma Hallo..."

"Where are you Namira?" ask Sonia.

"I'm still at the supermarket, Ma. I'm looking for Aliyya. I couldn't find Aliyya since then and it's so crowded."

Zein who stood not far from the mother also approached and brought his face closer to the phone with a sharp grin towards Aliyya.

"Just go home, brother. The person you're looking for has reached home and he's been taken home by the police." said Zein who glanced at Aliyya.

"Yes, Namira. You'd better go home now." said Sonia, who took a glance at Aliyya.

"All right, Ma..."

"Papa hear, right? Then you think I can't find a better girl than Papa's favorite niece?" said Zein.

The grin after grin continues to be etched on the faces of Sonia and Shafia. The mission they made to trap Aliyya in the supermarket was successful. And without Aliyya noticing, the figure of the girl who had bumped into him while about to get out of the drug store was also present at the event. Who is that girl exactly? I don't know, maybe he had a relationship with one of the occupants of the house of Umar and Sonia. The figure of the girl also seemed to sneer cunningly and passed away to approach the other guests.

"What a great wife and daughter-in-law! But today, you were caught in the supermarket! How shameful your life is! Is this your goal to marry me? To humiliate my whole family in front of so many people? You're a very devout girl in religion, but this is what kind of good behavior do you think it is? If you care, I want to ask you something. Are you going to give it to me?" zein said that looked at Aliyya with hatred.

Aliyya who was still staring at her husband's behavior also frowned in wonder. So does Sonia who seems afraid if Zein asks for something. Meanwhile, Umar still remained unmoved, standing beside Aliyya and Zein who was still drunk even more crazy.

"Certify me!!!"

Like being hit by the thorns of millions of billions, Aliyya was flabbergasted when she heard Zein's words that were very loud and firm. Everyone looked surprised. Bi Sumi, Farhan, Rizal, Umar and all the invited guests who came. Everything is flabbergasted but not with Sonia, Shafia and the figure of the girl who hit Aliyya in the supermarket. The three women of different ages smiled satisfied with Zein's words.

The clear thread escaped from the beautiful bead of Aliyya who had been staring at her husband. While Zein also still looked at his wife with great anger and hatred. Their eyes looked at each other and glazed over, but it was not all out of love, but out of hate and disappointment. The brotherly bond that should not be fractured because of this, is even more broken and witnessed by everyone. How hurt the heart of Aliyya who has been a victim from the beginning of this marriage. How poor!

"Geez!!!" omar looked towards Zein.

"I really want a divorce, Pa. Get me off that girl! I'm sick and can't take it anymore! I want a divorce!!!" zein toilet.

Bruk!

Zein who was drunk and raved since then finally collapsed. The handsome man fainted after saying all of his heart in front of the crowd. Seeing the brother who fainted, Farhan rushed Zein to the room and was assisted by Rizal. Even Aliyya who saw could only be silent. The girl was still shocked and shocked at the request of her husband who was heavily drunk.

"I'll talk to you later, Mr. Police" Umar said without looking at him.

"All right, sir..."

The policemen who came along with Aliyya also left. They were quite understanding of the difficult situation that was being experienced by the owner of the big house, so they went and chose to wait for Umar later.

"As the head of the family in this house, I am truly sorry for what has happened. With great force, I ask you to leave here. I apologize and beg. Go!!!" said Umar who was still downcast embarrassed without seeing anyone.

Umar who was still down did not leave the ruined event without seeing Aliyya. Slowly, the invited guests also left. After everyone left, Sonia who was still standing next to Aliyya was looking at him sharply and hatefully. Then Sonia who hated and was satisfied with this incident went and went after Umar.

Now, only Aliyya was still glued to the living room. Tears of sadness, disappointment as well as deep resentment continued to flow down his face. If his wedding day was a very bad day for him, then today was the same even more than the wedding day. The shame and disappointment in his heart could not lie. But what can an Aliyya do for now? He's just a normal human being who's been tested in his marriage.

Lama Aliyya was pensive in the living room. With very heavy steps, he tried to keep walking towards Zein's room. Yes, it was just Zein's room, not his room or his second room. Only Zein's! That's what Zein said all the time to ring in Aliyya's ear.

Aliyya went into Zein's room. Tired of accusation, not only the body feels tired, but also the heart and mind. Especially as his eyes slowly turned towards the bed, where Zein was lying down and falling asleep due to the influence of liquor.

Bruk!

Aliyya fell weakly at the foot of the bed and cried a mouthful. Problem after problem comes hand in hand and makes him forget that the moon has replaced the task of the sun. Aliyya really looks fragile this time. Fragile not only because his marriage was far from happy with a man like Zein, but fragile because it had made the uncle's good name tarnished in front of everyone. It was unthinkable for him to do that, but why would something like this happen at the reception? Zein's extremely painful words were ringing again in Aliyya's ears and made her speechless.

Aliyya looked pensive looking away, trying to understand everything that had happened in her life at this time. When Aliyya was pensive, she suddenly remembered the message of the mother who had given advice to her before breakfast together and left for Jakarta that day.

Whatever your problem may be, read this Qur'an, my dear. Read and understand the content in it. Then every problem you are going through, will definitely find a way out. When you do not understand something, then only here is the answer you can find for all your problems.

That was one of Sabrina's advice to the princess before leaving Jogja and living a new life in her husband's house. After a long period of pensive and feeling calmer, Aliyya went and chose to pray first before going to bed. With solemnity and wisdom, Aliyya performed obligatory prayers and read the Qur'an afterwards.

After a long time of praying and teaching, Aliyya also moved and walked closer to Zein who was already in her dreamland. Then, with complete peace of mind, he pulled out a blanket and covered the body of the husband. A thin and sweet smile was etched on her beautiful face. Although his heart was very sick because of Zein, but Aliyya was very mature and could think clearly to do something.

When Aliyya was pensive and looked at Zein's sleeping face, suddenly a message and advice from her mother again ringed in her ear.

In marriage, looking down is not the answer to a problem. We as women don't always have to be down because looking down is slavery, not a relationship. In domestic relations there is no such thing as slavery because the household relationship is togetherness. You and your husband must be together, wading through the household ark and as women, we must be careful. Because the slightest mistake made will make the family of the woman's side prolonged embarrassment. So looking down is not the answer.

Aliyya smiled as she remembered her mother's advice. The advice that Sabrina had said long before Aliyya got married and it all came back ringing in her ears. Longing also enveloped Aliyya's soft and sincere heart.

In a marriage, we must be able to write our own wedding story. Because only the person involved in the marriage can explain and feel it all. Especially, you should be able to see yourself as well as your husband. See how your husband's weakness and the good that's in him. After that, you decide how the story of the wedding will go. You should be able to write your own wedding story, Aliyya.

Aliyya went on after remembering all the advice of her mother. That advice seemed to be a new force for an Aliyya. Her tears stopped flowing and dried up. The sweet smile that had been etched beautifully on her thin lips, now turned into a sharp grin accompanied by the glare of her sharp eyes towards Zein.

"Sleep well, Zein! Since from tomorrow morning onwards, you should be prepared with our wedding story that I will write myself! Your wife, Aliyya Zein Abdullah, is no longer the weak Aliyya!!!"
