Forced to Marry an Uncle's Child

Episode 29 ~ Rela Lying

...🌹🌹🌹...

"It's hot tea for you, Mommy."

Lovingly, Sabrina gave a cup of warm tea to her husband who was enjoying the quiet atmosphere in his yard while reading the newspaper.

"Thank you for my beautiful wife" Galuh said, sipping on Sabrina's warm tea.

Sabrina who got a fistful was just giggling amusedly while shaking her head. Now they are sitting together in the front yard, while Aldha is busy playing mobile phones in the living room while watching television.

Drrrrt!

When Sabrina was busy reading the magazine on the front page with Galuh, suddenly her phone on the table shook. Instantly a sweet and beautiful smile was engraved clearly when he saw the name of someone who managed to turn on the screen of his phone. Then Sabrina picked up her phone which she could not wait to pick up.

"Mother's Asalamualaikum..."

"Wa'alaikumsalam Aliyya darling. How are you, son?" sabrina replied, turning to Galuh who had turned to him.

Hearing the name of the princess called, Galuh also moved from his seat and approached the wife. While from the inside, Aldha who also heard the name of the brother jumped and ran out of the house to approach the mother.

"My news is good here, ma'am. Mom, how are you?" asked Aliyya who looked sparkling and teary.

"Mother is very nice, darling. Oh right, have you received the package I sent you?" replied Sabrina who was no less sparkling.

"Already, Mom. I'm eating it now. It tastes so good. Mom always knew what I wanted." replied Aliyya while eating a snack sent by Sabrina.

"Mom misses you so much, son." said Sabrina who suddenly sad and raucous.

"I also miss Mom and Dad very much" replied Aliyya who shed her tears.

Sabrina only smiled clumsyly at the voice of the princess who joined raucously and was heard holding back a cry across there. While Galuh and Aldha who saw the eyes of Sabrina glazed immediately snatched his phone.

"Assalamualaikum Darling.." Galuh said.

"Wa'alaikumsalam Father... Dad how are you? Dad's health is fine, isn't it?" ask Aliyya who is struggling because of worry.

"When you hear your voice, I'm very good, dear." replied Galuh who joined raucous like his wife and Aliyya there.

Aliyya could also sigh in relief because she heard directly the father's answer. During his time in Jakarta his mind often remembered the health of Galuh who suddenly had dropped because his wedding was canceled with Zaki. But now Aliyya seemed relieved and sparkling when she heard the news of her beloved family in Jogja.

"Sister...Did Brother not miss me? What a bad brother! Since I went to Jakarta, we have never made a video call, even I often contact Uncle through video call. Go, Brother! We're video calling! I miss you so much and want to know what the house and bridal room is like." said Aldha who immediately snatched Sabrina's phone from Galuh.

Aliyya was silent when she heard Aldha's request who was eager to see the condition of her bedroom with Zein. Her wet eyes were also poking around, watching every corner of the room of a man who was now her husband. The room is very identical to the identity of a Zein Abdullah. The room he said was not his because it belonged to the owner.

"Aliyya... You still have the bedding gift that I gave you, right?" asked Sabrina who snatched her phone from Aldha.

"Sister.. Let's just video call." said Aldha who seized the mother's phone again.

Aliyya remained unmoved, her eyes still continuing to circulate and glare far away at the thought of something that disturbed her mind abruptly.

What Mom and Dad knew was that Zein and I lived happily in this hellish marriage. If they see this room, then they will know that my marriage and Zein is not as happy as they thought. Aliyya muttered in her heart.

"Aldha. Maybe later in the afternoon we video call. Right now Brother is tidying up the room." said Aliyya who tried to dodge.

"Yes, I'll wait for the afternoon, brother. I closed first. Assalamualaikum." replied the excited Aldha across the street.

"Wa'alaikum..."

Aliyya let out a long sigh as she continued to look at Zein's room which had no color of life at all. All the colors of his room were only black and navy, in keeping with Zein who was petty and stubborn. But not Aliyya's name if he can not change the color and appearance of Zein's creepy room into a newlywed room.

"Somehow my stupid best friend changed our plans at the last moment."

After a long time gathering with Rizal and his four other friends at a Cafe, without feeling the day was getting darker so they decided to go to Zein's house and watch a football match on one of the television stations. Zein who was driving a car seemed to occasionally glance towards Rizal who was sitting next to his chair. The little quarrel between the two handsome men finally ended and now they were all on their way home.

Rizal who heard Zein's words choked while enjoying a canned drink in his hand. Then turned to look at Zein with a panted look.

"What did you say? Me stupid? You sure?" asked Rizal who was very careless with his best friend.

"Of course I'm sure. You changed the plan that we had scheduled every ball game on television just because Aliyya was there. You heard!!! That room will still be mine and no one will take that away from me! But today I'm quite happy because you guys took me to go gather in a normal place." said Zein who is still focused on driving.

"But the current situation must have changed a lot, Zein." said one of Zein's friends who sat in the back.

"You're like you don't know. All men must have said something like that behind his wife, just like Zein." said one of them.

"Hey, I don't have a wife! You guys see it later! Because Zein Abdullah will live according to his own will." replied Zein.

"So even if you're married there won't be any effect?" ask one of his friends again.

"Of course not and never will!" replied Zein who was looking through the rearview mirror.

"If you don't want marriage then why don't you just turn it down, Zein?" ask one of his friends again.

"The story is too long and complicated. So you guys just forget about that and focus on our show tonight!" zein replied with great emphasis.

Rizal and his four friends just looked at each other while shaking their heads when they heard Zein's confession. Really, the man was indeed very annoying and evil for not acknowledging Aliyya as his wife.

***

After a long stay and pensive in Zein's room while watching each side, Aliyya got up and grabbed her suitcase in Zein's closet. With high spirits, the beautiful Jogja girl opened her suitcase and picked up something. Something that looks bright and colorful. Pearl shaped very beautiful when exposed to the reflection of light and some star-shaped wall toys, hearts and bottles that are no less the color of life.

Eagerly, Aliyya began decorating Zein's room and tried to eliminate the evil in it. The Jogja girl hung all the beautiful things that became the decoration of her room when she was still in Jogja. It turned out that Sabrina also sent some beautiful objects and made Aliyya more excited to decorate the side of Zein's room.

"Everything is neat. I'd better clean up before Aldha makes a video call with Mom and Dad to see this room."

Aliyya who looks tired due to improvement does not want to wait anymore. With wide strides, he went straight into the bathroom to clean himself up. It did not take long, Aliyya also came out of the bathroom and immediately grabbed her laptop for a video call with her family in Jogja.

"Assynoltom... Father, Mother." said Aliyya.

Video call connection via laptop is also connected. Unknowingly, Aliyya's tears just flowed when she saw the faces of her parents on the laptop screen very clearly. Although he tried not to cry and tried to keep smiling, but because of a longing that is so deep it must be that the clear circle was pushed out by itself.

"Wa'alaikumsalam my dear daughter...why are you crying son? Come on, quickly remove those tears right now! I don't want to see those tears at a time like this! Come on!" said Galuh who saw the eyes of the princess wet.

"Yes Dad, but Dad also has to wipe his tears dong." replied Aliyya who chuckled and tried to break the atmosphere.

It turned out that the father of two children also shed tears of longing for the princess. Then he quickly wiped away his tears and saw Aldha and Sabrina giggling at the tears of Galuh.

"How are you doing, son?" asked Sabrina who began to glaze over at the laptop screen.

"My news is still as good as it was, Mom. I really miss you guys there a lot and I miss our house a lot too" replied Aliyya who tried to smile.

"The house you're in right now is your only home, honey. Even if after marriage you are not here, this house will also remain your home" said Sabrina who increasingly teary.

"Sister.. Let's show you your room!" timpal Aldha was trying to break the mood.

"Yes, I will show you yes." replied Aliyya who got up from her seat.

Aliyya also turned the room while holding her laptop and showed the room she had decorated before making a video call. Looking at the princess's room so spacious and colorful, Sabrina and Galuh's eyes were perfectly rounded in amazement. They were amazed by the colors in the room. Of course, Aliyya had prepared everything so that they did not suspect that her married life with Zein was unhappy.

"Well, your room is now more spacious, beautiful and luxurious, brother. No less far from your room that is here." said Aldha who was very amazed.

"Yes, very pretty and luxurious. Just like in Jogja." Galuh's chimpanzee again.

"Of course, Dad. It feels the same as there. I also always remember everything Dad and Mom taught me. I will never forget that." replied Aliyya.

"Yes, Honey. I'm pretty sure that Zein also really likes the colors and the room. You must be living happily. Looks like you've given Zein the color of his life, baby." Sabrina smiled on the laptop screen.

Aliyya was silent and smiled bitterly when she heard the words of her mother. His heart that was being overwhelmed with longing was pinched and stunned. Sabrina thinks that Aliyya and Zein's marriage is very happy. But in reality, the life of Aliyya and Zein is currently very bad, like being in a hell that is very, very cursed.

It felt like he wanted to give up and get out of that damned hell so that he was free from Zein. But for the sake of the trust of his parents, Aliyya will survive and continue to continue the story of his marriage with Zein. Although he was doubtful, whether the story would end beautifully or otherwise.

"But where's Brother Zein?" aldha asked who could not find Zein around the room.

"Zeez... Zein's still working, Aldha. So he hasn't come home yet." replied Aliyya who was shocked and nervous.

"Then how's everyone there baby? Are they okay?" ask Sabrina again.

"Thank God everything is fine, ma'am" replied Aliyya who smiled widely and was pleased.

"Thank God, son. We are very happy to see you even through a video call. Give our regards to Zein and tell him that we will always pray for the happiness of both of you" Galuh said.

"Yes Dad..."

"Then we close first, baby. Assalamualaikumum my daughter." said Sabrina who glazed over as she waved her hand.

"Wa'alaikum..."

The video call connection ended with tears that again flooded the beautiful face of Aliyya. Closing his laptop, he wiped the tears that without permission just kept flowing.

For the sake of the happiness of Father, Mother, and Aldha, I will try to do everything even if I have to lie thousands of times. May God always protect my family there. Aliyya muttered in her heart.

Aliyya thought about her family. At least the longing now has been treated even if only a little. Because only through video calls can they release each other's deep longing without having to meet.

"Aliya..."

Instantly, Aliyya's daydream was dissolved when Bi Sumi came to him who was distantly pensive. But Bi Sumi's steps came to a halt as she was about to step inside Zein's room. His eyes sparkled as he enjoyed the different colors in Zein's room.

"MasyaAllah.. This room is very beautiful." said Bi Sumi who walked in while looking at the contents of Zein's room.

Aliyya also moved from sitting and smiled at Bi Sumi who approached her. Bi Sumi's eyes seemed dissatisfied to see and enjoy the beauty of the different atmosphere in Zein's room. Full of colors and fun too.

"MasyaAllah..you have really succeeded in changing this room, dear." said Bi Sumi who was amazed by the decoration of Aliyya.

"With very fast, right Bi?" replied Aliyya who was smiling happily to get praise from Bi Sumi.

"Yes, you're very quick to change this room. Oh yeah Aunt almost forgot. Zein called Auntie and told her she was coming here with her friends soon. Does Auntie need to make something for them?" said Bi Sumi who remembered Zein.

Aliyya who heard that looked astonished and frowned.

"Friends? As late as tonight Bi?"
