Forced to Marry an Uncle's Child

Episode 6 ~ Stuck by Own Game

...🌹🌹🌹...

Aliyya immediately picked up Zaki's phone and walked to the balcony terrace of her room.

"Assalamualaikum, Aliyya" said Zaki from across the street.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Zaki." replied Aliyya who blushed shyly at her future husband.

"What are you doing?" ask Zaki who is still acting ordinary.

"It's nothing. I was standing on the balcony of my room." replied the delighted Aliyya.

"I want to ask you something." said Zaki.

"What does Zaki mean?" aliyya answered, asking Zaki.

"What's your favorite color?" ask Zaki.

"I like the color red and white. Why are you asking like that?" aliyya answered, asking back.

"It's okay. I just want to give you something on our wedding day." replied Zaki.

Aliyya who heard that also smiled. While Aliyya was talking to Zaki over the phone, Aliyya saw Zein standing on the porch and was on the phone too.

Misunderstanding happens again. Aliyya thought that Zein was Zaki talking to her now on the phone. Aliyya just smiled towards Zein, as well as Zein. The man waved his hand at Aliyya and made Aliyya smile in embarrassment.

"Then I close first, Al. See you on our wedding day." said Zaki who ended the conversation.

"Yes, Zaki." replied Aliyya who smiled loosely and went back into the room without seeing Zein.

While Zein was still standing on the porch of the house while contacting someone.

"Mama and Papa be careful. Tomorrow I'll pick you up at the airport." said Zein who was talking to Sonia.

"You have to be careful there. Mama closed first. Assalamualaikum, dear." said Sonia who hung up the phone.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Ma." Zein replied and hung up.

Zein went back into the house and chose to rest in his room with Rizal.

***

It doesn't feel like the day is getting any darker. Aliyya is now on the balcony of her room to wait for Zein who she still thinks is Zaki, her future husband.

While Aliyya was enjoying the cool night air, suddenly from behind there was someone who closed his eyes.

"Zaki's..."

Zein who closed Aliyya's eyes was surprised because Aliyya called herself Zaki.

Zaki's? Who's Zaki? Zein in the liver.

Zein tried to remember something Umar had said. If the future husband Aliyya named Zaki and the current girl who has the status of a bride and her cousin think that she is Zaki.

So Aliyya thought that I was Zaki. It's a very pleasant coincidence. Zein in the liver.

"Hi, Aliyya. You been here long?" asked Zein who removed his hand from Aliyya's eyes.

"No, just now" replied Aliyya who was still ashamed of Zein.

"It's a gift for your wedding and from Papa" Zein said, giving Aliyya a large envelope.

Aliyya did not expect, that the man in front of her right now, whom Aliyya thought was Zaki, would give a gift this soon. And just this afternoon they discussed about the gift that Zaki would give to Aliyya. But because he was too happy and happy, Aliyya did not remember what Zaki said last afternoon.

"What is this gift?" asked Aliyya who was very curious.

"Oh, you take it. Then I go first." said Zein, hugging his cousin.

Aliyya gasps when she gets a hug from Zein which she still thinks she is Zaki and the sweet treatment makes Aliyya's cheeks red.

While in front of the fence, there are a pair of eyes that are looking at the intimacy of the two human beings who still misunderstand it.

Aliyya hugged another man. The day after tomorrow is the wedding day with my son. Mumbles Zaki's mother in heart.

Zaki's mother wants to visit Aliyya's house. But his steps stopped when he saw a scene that was bad for his only son, Zaki. Zaki's mother left in front of Aliyya's house.

Not long after, Zaki's mother arrived at her house. His face was extremely annoyed and held back anger. Seeing the mother enter the house in a state of anger, Zaki approached her.

"Mama why are you home? Not that Mama wants to go to Aliyya's house." said Zaki who approached the mother.

"Mama saw Aliyya hugging another man. On the balcony of his room. Then do you think Mama doesn't deserve to be angry?" answer the emotional Mother Zaki.

Zaki was silent for a moment. What he saw earlier in the city park, it also happened to the mother. Even the mother saw Aliyya who was hugging.

"Why are you quiet?" ask Zaki the mother.

"It's okay, Ma. Maybe it was her brother or friend Aliyya who was visiting. Couldn't it be, Ma?" answer Zaki who lied.

"You must know something, don't you, son?" asked the mother who was staring intently at her son.

"Do I know what Ma is? Mama saw why I was interrogated." replied Zaki who made the mother speechless.

"Yes, Mama's tired. Mama rest first. Tomorrow you ask Aliyya who the man is." said the mother who walked towards her room.

"Yes, Ma." Zaki replied briefly and chose to go to his room and rest.

It turned out that the person who saw Aliyya and Zein in the city park earlier was Zaki.

Zaki wants to meet with Aliyya as per the promise they made last night. But due to a misunderstanding, Aliyya thinks Zein is Zaki, so Zaki and Aliyya do not meet until the misunderstanding becomes more difficult.

***

Evening changed in the morning. Aliyya woke up from her sleep with a big smile.

Aliyya got out of bed and wanted to take a shower. But not yet had his feet entered the bathroom, there was a sound of knocking on the door of Aliyya's room.

"Iya, tunggu sebentar."

Aliyya walked towards the door. Then...

"Zaki... Why are you here?" asked Aliyya who was astonished by Zein's attitude.

"Guide me for a moment. I want to go somewhere but I don't know how to get there." Zein replied with a slumbering look.

"But I haven't taken a shower" said the embarrassed Aliyya.

"I'll wait for you downstairs, okay." replied Zein who passed away.

Aliyya just let out a long breath. Then he rushed into the bathroom.

Not long after, Aliyya finished bathing and rushed after Zein to the lower terrace.

"Let's go." said Aliyya who just came.

"Come on.." replied Zein who immediately pulled Anita's hand.

Aliyya's heart was beating very fast, her face flushed red with a shy blush as her hand was pulled, even grasped by Zein. He still misunderstands and thinks that Zein is Zaki. Then they left on a motorcycle.

As they exit the courtyard of the house, Zaki who wants to visit Aliyya, sees Aliyya again who went with another man. Zaki's sharp eyes stared intently at them, his clenched hands firmly trying to control his emotions.

"Aliyya went with the man again. I have to follow them."

Zaki followed the two from behind. While Aliyya and Zein who were at the front were unaware of anyone following them.

Not long after, Aliyya and Zein arrive at a restaurant. Aliyya was astonished when Zein took her to the restaurant.

"Why are we here?" ask the astonished Aliyya.

"You wait a minute. I want to buy that food." Zein replied as she pointed towards the snack cart.

"Alright" said Aliyya who nodded.

Zein immediately ran towards the snack cart across the street. While Aliyya chose to wait for Zein and sat on his bike.

Drrrrt!

As Aliyya was waiting for Zein, her phone suddenly shook. Quickly, Aliyya grabbed her phone and looked at it. Aliyya's eyes rounded perfectly when she saw the name of the person who contacted her.

"Zaki's..."

Aliyya raised her head and looked at Zein who she thought was Zaki. Zein is currently buying food and does not hold a cell phone at all. Aliyya was confused and astonished. Then...

"Hallo.." he said.

"Al, where are you?" ask Zaki who saw Aliyya from a distance and in his car.

Aliyya was still staring at Zein and making sure that it was Zein who was contacting her across the street. But no and it made Aliyya even more confused and astonished.

"Al, are you okay?" ask Zaki.

"Yes, I'm fine. I'll call again. Right now I am outside." replied Aliyya who became nervous and trembling.

"But Al.." said Zaki but the phone was immediately closed by Anita.

While Aliyya was still staring fixedly at Zein across the street.

"If the one who called me earlier was Zaki, then who is with me right now?"

Not long after, Aliyya's phone rang again. This time it's a call from Sabrina who might be looking for her.

"Hallo, ma'am." said Aliyya who picked up the phone.

"Where are you, son? Where is Zein too? Is he with you?" ask Sabrina who is at home.

Aliyya was silent for a moment. He tried hard to understand the mother's intentions. Then...

"Zeein? Who's Zein?" aliyya asked without answering her question.

"What do you mean, son? Have you forgotten your cousin? Zein.. he's Uncle Umar's son in Jakarta." replied Sabrina who tried to remind Aliyya.

"Zeein? Uncle Umar's son in Jakarta?" said Aliyya who asked as if in disbelief.

"Yes, Son. Is he with you? Where'd you go?" ask Sabrina back.

Aliyya was flabbergasted, completely shocked and did not know what to say. Because, during the meeting with Zein, the man never told, if he was Zein, the son of Umar Abdullah, the uncle who lives in Jakarta. And at this moment, the one who was with him was not Zaki, but Zein. That means, Zein is playing a trick on Aliyya.

"Aliyya.." call Sabrina from the phone.

"Yes, Mom. We're out there. We'll be home soon." replied Aliyya and hung up.

Aliyya still did not expect that the current one with her was Zein, her cousin and not Zaki. For the past few days, Aliyya had misunderstood and thought that the one who had been with her all along was Zaki.

"Why didn't he say he was Zein?"

Aliyya and Zein were close in childhood. Yet the attitudes of the two are equally stubborn and irritating to each other. After finding out that the man she was with was Zein, Aliyya also felt very upset, angry and increasingly disliked Zein's unfunny attitude. Then...

"Don't call me Aliyya, if I can't return your silly joke, Zein."

Zein who had returned after buying snacks approached Aliyya.

"Come, let's go in. I'll take you to lunch." said Zein who walked in front.

Aliyya sneered cunningly at Zein and followed wherever he went. As he walked, his hands seemed agile typing something on his phone and sending a message to someone. I don't know who the girl called.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Zein pulled out a chair for Aliyya.

"Please sit Miss pretty." said Zein very sweetly.

Aliyya just kept quiet and smiled. Then Zein sat down in front of Aliyya.

"What do you want to eat, Al?" asked Zein while giving Aliyya a menu book.

"As far as you go." replied Aliyya with a wry smile on her lips.

Zein follows Aliyya's request and orders food for the two, without suspecting her cousin's expression. As they were waiting for orders, suddenly a group of police officers seemed to walk up and approach them.

"Excuse me" said the police officer.

"Yes, what's wrong, sir?" asked Zein who was astonished to see them in front of him.

"We have reports that a brother named Zaki has committed a bad act on a woman" the police officer replied.

Zein was aghast and looked at Aliyya. While Aliyya was just acting ordinary and seemed to put on a look of panicked expression and then moved on.

How'this? I'm not Zaki, but I'm Zein. Damn, why is it like this. Zein in the liver.

"But I'm sorry, sir. There is no Zaki here. I'm not Zaki, but I'm Zein." Zein began to panic and involuntarily confessed.

Zein is not aware of what he is saying that will expose his lies to Aliyya.

"But we got a report that Zaki was here" said the policeman, who became angry.

"There's no one here named Zaki, sir. Is that Aliyya?" zein told the police and looked at Aliyya.

"What do you mean, Zaki? You are Zaki. Have you forgotten your own name." replied Aliyya who glanced at the two.

How'this? All Aliyya knows is that I am Zaki. You stupid fool, Zein. Why you can get caught up in your own silly game. Zein in the liver.

"Trust me, Al. I'm Zein, your cousin." said Zein, who tried to convince Aliyya.

Aliyya smiled with satisfaction at Zein's panicked expression. Then...

"I'm sorry, sir. Apparently there's no one named Zaki here. He's not Zaki, but he's my cousin, Zein Abdullah" Aliyya told the police.

"You're serious Miss?" ask the police to be sure.

"Yes, sir." replied Aliyya who nodded and reassured the Police.

"Alright, then we'll excuse us." he said and left the restaurant.

The police officer walked away and Aliyya laughed when she saw Zein's panicked expression. Seeing Aliyya laughing, Zein felt astonished. Then...

"Why are you laughing? zein who glanced sharply at his cousin.

"I am very satisfied to see that expression of yours, Zein." replied Aliyya who was still laughing amusedly.

"Don't you call the police here. Yeah, huh!" said Zein who was careless to Aliyya.

"If so, why?" said Aliyya who was still laughing because she was amused by Zein's expression.

It turns out that Aliyya sent an emergency message to the police to avenge Zein's ridiculous behavior. Really, the streak of regret was very visible on the face of a handsome man like Zein.

"Based on a crazy woman!" the annoyed Zein.

"You think I'm stupid, huh! You came and didn't tell me that you were Zein and pretending to be Zaki." said Aliyya, who had been holding back angrily.

"Who thinks I'm Zaki? Did I say it first?" asked Zein who was no less angry and careless.

"Then why was it that when I called you by the name of Zaki, you just kept quiet? You want to prank me, right?" ask Anita again.

Aliyya and Zein were emotional and threw questions at each other without answering the question. As they were having a fight, Zein's phone suddenly rang.

"Lad..."

Zein immediately picked up the phone that turned out to be from his father. Then...

"Assynriding, Zein. Where are you, son?" ask Umar who is already at the airport.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Dad. I was outside. What's the matter, Pa?" zein answered asking back.

"Mama and Dad arrived at the airport. Can you pick up Mom and Dad?" '' replied Umar who asked back.

Zein was silent because he was confused. He did not know what to pick up Umar and Sonia with. Seeing the panic on Zein's face, Aliyya also poked Zein, as if giving a sign that she was asking what happened.

"Why are you poking my hand?" zein's whiskers were closing the bottom of his phone so Umar wouldn't hear his talk with Aliyya.

"What's wrong?" ask the curious Aliyya.

"Papa has arrived in Jogja. Right now they are at the airport and asking to be picked up." Zein replied with a stingy and coldness.

"Just say yes." said Aliyya casually.

"You're crazy, aren't you? What did I pick Papa up with?" the faint Zein.

"Jawab or I will leave you here." Anita said, pointing at Zein.

Zein breathed a heavy sigh. He was forced to follow Aliyya's wishes because if the girl left him at the restaurant, then he could get lost because he did not know the way home. Then...

"Alright, Pa. I'll pick you up there." Zein told Umar, who is still connected.

"Papa will be waiting for you, son." replied Umar and hung up.

After hanging up the phone, Zein turned to Aliyya who seemed to be smiling cunningly at her who was still feeling annoyed.

"How now?" asked Zein coldly.

Zein who was still upset and careless at Aliyya also put his phone into his pants pocket. While Aliyya looked smirked in satisfaction when she saw Zein's expression. Then the beautiful girl looked across the street.

"We ride it" replied Aliyya, pointing across the street.
