Forced to Marry an Uncle's Child

Episode 41 ~ Patience Limits

...🌹🌹🌹...

Enjoying the sunlight while drinking a glass of warm tea, has become a routine for a Jogja girl who is none other than Aliyya. After the morning shower, the beautiful girl seemed to be engrossed in sipping warm tea in her hands and reading the newspaper. Then who would have thought, it turned out that the newspaper that was being read by Aliyya was exactly the same as the newspaper in the living room. But it seems that Aliyya has not realized that because she is still reading the other pages.

Aliyya landed her body on the sofa in Zein's room. A moment later, the eyes that had originally focused on the newspaper were now on someone who was engrossed in swimming in the side yard. Aliyya was able to see the figure because of the window of her room which could not only see the gate outside, but also the courtyard next to Umar's house. Seeing that figure made Aliyya move from her seat with a teacup and newspaper still in her grasp. Then he turned to the window.

Someone who is busy swimming in the morning like this is Zein, her husband. An irritating look also emanated from Aliyya's eyes as she watched Zein. Not long after, Zein came out of the pool and put on his towel. Aliyya remained unmoved, standing by the window watching her husband. While Zein who was wearing a towel, immediately turned to look at the window of his room.

Both of their eyes met again and of course with the same gaze as before. Aliyya paled and Zein was annoyed. Zein's annoyance grew even more when his brain memory returned to spinning at the party last night. Precisely in the words of Aliyya when receiving the dance competition trophy. A moment later Zein gave a rude snort and his gaze was still on Aliyya at that window.

"When you know that I'm not your dream man, but why did you come to me and marry me? Don't you think that I've started to melt against you, Aliyya!!! It won't!!! It will never happen!!! Today I will not fight against you, but tomorrow I will start again."

Zein who threw an annoyed look at Aliyya also raved down there. Aliyya stood by the window holding a teacup and a newspaper. Both of his eyes seemed to rotate the effect of looking at the lips of the husband who was muttering down there while looking at him. But Aliyya is still not aware of the contents of the newspaper he holds.

Not wanting to linger outside, Zein who was already cold got up from the place, was about to head to his room. Meanwhile, Aliyya hurriedly moved again to the sofa so that Zein did not suspect herself when she saw him earlier. And not long after, Zein went into the room without greeting his wife. Seeing the husband who entered, Aliyya also rolled her eyeballs and then she moved from the sofa.

Just as Zein was about to change his wet clothes and was about to walk towards the bathroom, suddenly a mischievous idea came to his mind when he saw the wife who was folding her clothes. Then Zein undressed his towel in front of the wife with a ignorant grin of course. Zein opened one by one his clothes while looking at Aliyya.

Aliyya who felt noticed also realized and raised her head. Instantly his face was shocked when he saw the husband opened the towel attached to his body. Aliyya quickly turned around and turned her back to Zein.

Geez, this man does not have manners and shame. Why doesn't she just go to the bathroom to change clothes or she can tell me so I can get out. Basic sucks. Aliyya muttered in her heart.

Feeling careless, Aliyya also remained in a position to turn her back to the husband who was ignorant. That was how Zein always looked for trouble first with Aliyya and will continue like that. After putting on all his clothes, Zein got up and sat down on the sofa.

Drrrrt!

Just as Zein was about to grab the newspaper beside him, suddenly the man's phone shook.

"Well, did you call me this early in the morning?" super cute and cold Zein.

"Look easy, buddy. I just want to say something I haven't had time to tell you last night." said Rizal who contacted Zein, his best friend.

"What?" asked Zein while reaching for the newspaper.

"Last night's party was fun, wasn't it?" rizal asked across the street.

"Yes, it was fun." replied Zein.

"You and Aliyya are amazing, my friend" said Rizal, who praised their performance.

"What did you say? Not like that either." replied Zein whose eyes were busy to the newspaper.

"That's how it is, Zein. You're the one who doesn't feel it. You know what's more amazing than that, before only Karim, Vian, Syakir and Adi liked Aliyya. But their lovers also like your wife and you'll like her soon too." said Rizal from across the street.

"Shut up!!!" zein was upset to hear Rizal's praise for Aliyya while glancing at his wife.

"Hey listen to me, Zein!!! Stop looking for your wife's weakness and stop giving her a lesson because of the resentment in your heart. Before I said it, no, if Aliyya is a soul mate sent by God to you. From the beginning I didn't mind if you married her. Because you will not find a woman who exceeds the kindness of your wife." said Rizal who again tried to resuscitate his best friend.

Zein who was getting tired of hearing Rizal's lecture also snorted annoyed while glancing at his wife. While Aliyya who felt the sharp glances from her husband only remained silent and did not interfere with her problem.

"If your intention is to contact me early in the morning like this just to lecture me, you better just turn it off!!! You don't have to lecture me because I can manage my own life!" said Zein who was upset and hung up the phone.

Out of annoyance and carelessness, Zein threw his phone on the sofa and chose to read the newspaper that was still faithful in front of his eyes. While Aliyya only shook her head when she heard the answer to her annoying husband's ketus it was against Rizal. Aliyya continued her activities of folding clothes and tidying up Zein towel clothes that lay on the chair.

After folding all the clothes and putting the clothes into the closet, Aliya turned to Zein as her hand reached for her husband's towel. Just as Aliyya was about to step up and put down the towel, she turned her head again towards Zein when she saw something that was accidentally caught by her eyes.

Degh's!

Aliyya's eyes were perfectly rounded when she saw something on the front page of the newspaper. A familiar photo of him was on the front page of the newspaper. With a rumble of anger in the chest that enveloped his heart, Aliyya ran over to Zein. He immediately snatched the newspaper rough from Zein's hands so that Zein's annoyance increased to the crown and looked at him sharply without Aliyya noticing.

Lama Aliyya looked at the newspaper and read it. At once the memory of Zein's words at the valentine's party was re-enacted. Starting from the words of Zein who has not acted to embarrass him, Zein opened the rough back dress of Aliyya to come to a photographer who was either intentional or did not take photos of Aliyya. Now the girl understood everything her husband said at the party.

"Good, Zein!!! Very good!!! Today I saw everything you wanted to do. Is this your behavior to humiliate others, huh!?" aliyya stared intently at Zein and threw a rough newspaper.

"What did you say? What's wrong with you so early?" asked Zein who moved up and did not understand Aliyya's annoyance.

"Enough Zein!!!" peekik Aliyya's.

Aliyya's patience with Zein is over this sunny morning. Aliyya was really bored and fed up with all her husband's behavior. While Zein was silent when he heard Aliyya's voice that sounded very loud. Just this time, the girl yelled at her husband for running out and lost her sense of patience in the day.

"The patience I have has limits. But you always tested my patience by doing disgusting things. Everything has its limits, Zein!!! Aren't you satisfied to teach me a lesson?" aliyya's increasingly furious and upset.

"What do you mean Al? What have I done?" ask Zein who doesn't understand.

Aliyya who was ignited by emotion took the newspaper again on the sofa and gave it to Zein. Confused by Aliyya's attitude, Zein took the newspaper and saw what was inside.

Degh's!

"Wah Ma... Has Papa seen the newspaper this morning?"

Shafia, who kept an embarrassing photo of Aliyya last night, is now in the living room with Sonia. Shafia had also seen the photo in the newspaper and she was certainly very satisfied. Not only satisfied, but also feel victorious because it managed to make Sonia proud of her efforts and Namira is nothing to her.

"She hasn't seen him yet but soon." said Sonia who grinned with satisfaction looking at Shafia.

What's the difference between Shafia and Sonia, of course not because they're both the ones who caused the embarrassing photo to be on the front page of the newspaper this morning. As Farhan's second wife had said. He would follow Aliyya and Zein to the party, then he would put Zein to shame and eventually divorce Aliyya. Shafia thought that something like this would put Zein and Aliyya to shame. If Shafia succeeds, she'll get a name in front of her mother-in-law.

"Good morning Ma..."

Sonia and Shafia turned to the source of the sound. Feeling happy, Sonia seemed to be smiling at that person.

"Namira... Have you seen what Shafia has done?" asked Sonia who was looking at her first daughter-in-law.

"Already, Ma. I've seen the newspaper this morning." replied Namira who sounded dislike.

"I took that photo at the party last night" Shafia chimps with a triumphant smile.

"It looks like Shafia will succeed in separating Zein and Aliyya, Namira" said Sonia who stared proudly at her second daughter-in-law.

Seeing his honey smile was like an apocalypse for a Namira. Not only the apocalypse, but also a great threat if this Shafia effort succeeds in separating Aliyya and Zein. Shafia's position will be even stronger at Berlian Villa and in Sonia's heart. But Namira could do nothing for now but see how her husband's second wife's efforts would work.

"You think I did it?"

Zein was still in shock with the photo in the newspaper. Because he did not send any photos to others and the photos in the camera photographer was also cleaned from the camera.

"Who else could a bad person do something this disgusting like Zein? Last night at the party, you came over to the photographer and I saw you!!!" aliyya said, increasingly furious with Zein's behavior.

"What you see is not necessarily true and in accordance with your current mind! I did go to the photographer and I immediately took the camera and deleted the photo. I've deleted the picture of you he took when your shirt was exposed!!!" replied Zein who was trying to explain and convince Aliyya.

"Don't lie anymore, Zein!!! If yes you have deleted the photo from the camera, then why is it in this newspaper?" aliyya posted the photo again.

"I really don't know, Al. I don't know why the photo is in this newspaper." replied Zein who slowed down his tone.

"Who else knows Zein? Because no one knows about this small matter but you!!!" aliyya said, growing more emotional as she threw the newspaper into the chest of Zein's field.

Zein took a deep breath and tried to control his emotions. Zein was wrong and he admitted it. But why the photo is in the newspaper, it's not because of him. That's why Zein did not get emotional and intended to give Aliyya an explanation. But the wall of Zein's patience that was still thin was immediately shattered to see the wife's emotions.

"I helped you at the party, but why are you scolding me like this? Alright, from now on I will never help you again." said Zein who still remained calm in the face of Aliyya's wrath.

"Don't lie to me, Zein! You never helped me at all. I know you did all this. You are so disgusting, Zein!!! Absolutely disgusting!!!" aliyya said, staring in anger at her husband.

"Keep you thinking that I did all this for you!!! Rather than you being indistinctly angry here, you better leave my room!!!" tukas Zein who relaxes.

"You are the one who left!!! You think by doing all this to me, I'm going to get scared and run away from your life? Crying because of being humiliated by yourself? No way, Zein Abdullah!!! I am not afraid and I will never go from anywhere!!! I'll show Papa this newspaper!!!"

An increasingly emotional and furious Aliyya took the newspaper again and walked towards the door.

"Show me there! I'm not wrong!"

Aliyya's furious steps were stopped. Angry and upset she turned her head sharply at Zein and rushed out of the room regardless of her husband.

"Hey Aliyya, wait!!! I am not wrong!!! I'm really being honest!!!"
