Forced to Marry an Uncle's Child

Episode 8 ~ Old Building

...🌹🌹🌹...

Zein was so happy that Sonia told herself to go on a holiday to Singapore. That was indeed his plan with Rizal since far away. Zein also intends to rest so that tomorrow morning he and Rizal can go to Singapore.

As Zein walked towards his room, he accidentally saw Aliyya who was preparing in his room. Aliyya's slightly open door allowed Zein to see her clearly.

Zein stopped his steps towards the room, but he went to Aliyya's room.

"Where are you going?" said Zein who opened Aliyya's door.

"Jeez, Zein. You're surprising me, you know!" it was Aliyya who was shocked to see Zein.

"The bride-to-be can't go out on nights like this. Where are you going anyway?" said Zein who stepped inside Aliyya's room.

"It's none of your business! Watch out!" sulk Aliyya who wanted to leave but his hand prevented Zein.

"I'll take you, Al." said Zein, who held Aliyya's hand.

"I can go alone! Off!" aliyya answered who was trying to take her hand off Zein.

Zein also tightened his hand on Aliyya and pulled his body to stick to the chest of the Zein field, so that the gaze happened again just like the incident at the airport. The two looked at each other and deepened. I don't know what happened to both of them.

"I'll tell Uncle and Aunt that you go out alone at night without another sting" Zein whispered in Aliyya's ear.

Aliyya rolled her eyes off guard. Tonight he plans to go see Zaki at a clothing store that Zaki promised him this afternoon. But because of Zein, it looks like tonight's plan will end up messed up again.

"OK, okay. You can take me. On one condition!" replied Aliyya who was staring intently at her cousin.

"What?" ask Zein who challenged Aliyya.

"Don't bother me!" aliyya replied, pointing at Zein's face.

Zein smiled at Aliya's behavior, which he thought was ridiculous and funny.

"OKAY. I won't bother you." said Zein who tied her index finger to Aliyya's.

The irritated Aliyya immediately pulled her hand and walked out of the room. While Zein was nosy, chuckling at Aliyya's behavior. Then Zein followed Aliyya from behind. Aliyya walked silently so that no one would see her. While Zein remained relaxed without worry.

"Huff.. survived." said Aliyya who finally got outside.

"Come, hurry! We don't have much time." said Zein who passed Aliyya and walked towards the car.

Aliyya looked annoyed and pursed her lips. By being forced to obey Zein's very annoying desire.

"If it wasn't for Zaki, I wouldn't have gone with you, Uncle's favorite son!"

Zein got in the car. But he did not see Aliyya. Then...

"Hey, favorite nephew. Go, hurry!" sahut Zein from the car on Aliyya who is still standing on the porch of the house.

Aliyya clucked irritably at Zein's annoying voice. Then Aliyya walked up to the car and got into it.

"Come, hurry!" said Aliyya who was sitting in the car without seeing Zein.

Zein momentarily glanced at Aliyya who was still annoyed at him. But the man just shook his head and immediately drove forward the old Jeep car at high speed.

Drrrrt!

While on the way, Aliyya's phone suddenly shook. Aliyya immediately took it in her bag. A sweet smile was engraved on his face when he saw the person who contacted him.

"Assalamualaikum, Zaki" said Aliyya who picked up Zaki's phone.

"Campaign, Al. Where are you? Did you get to the store?" replied Zaki who asked Aliyya.

"No, I'm still on the road. Soon I will be there." replied Aliyya who was still awkward with Zaki.

"Who did you go with? It's late, Al." asked Zaki who was looking for it.

"I. I went with Aldha in a taxi" replied Aliyya who lied to Zaki.

Upon hearing that, Zein turned to Aliyya and vice versa. Aliyya does not want Zaki to know that he is currently going with Zein.

Zaki felt suspicious when he heard Aliyya's nervous reply. But Zaki tried to ignore it because tomorrow morning, he had prepared a surprise for Aliyya.

"Then you and Aldha be careful. Assalamualaikum." said Zaki who ended the conversation.

"Wa'alaikum..."

Aliyya hung up the phone and glanced at Zein.

"Why should you lie to your future husband?" asked Zein who glanced angrily at Aliyya for being considered a taxi driver.

"Like me dong, answer me what! Don't interfere with my business!" sulk Aliyya without looking at Zein.

Zein was upset because of Aliyya's behavior. Suddenly he had an idea to prank his cousin. Zein who had a crazy idea was driving at high speed and turned in the wrong direction.

"Why did you turn Zein?" asked Aliyya who looked annoyed with Zein's attitude.

"Like me dong, turn where! Don't be noisy, just follow me!" zein who did not see Aliyya.

"But we went the wrong way, Zein." said Aliyya who was still upset and pointed towards the road.

"Already, Aliyya. Just follow me." replied Zein who was nosy and stubborn.

Aliyya also relented and threw her body into the car seat while holding her hand. Seeing the face of Aliyya who was upset made Zein giggle amused and wanted to continue to prank his cousin.

Not long after, Aliyya and Zein arrived in front of an old building in Jogja City. The atmosphere in the old building was quite crowded with visitors from abroad. Somehow Zein took Aliyya to this place.

"Why are we here, huh! I want to go somewhere. Why are you taking me to this place." said Aliyya who was upset with Zein.

"Just a second, Al. Just 10 minutes. I promise." replied Zein who grabbed both ears.

Aliyya was really upset by Zein's attitude. There was always a nosy idea that Zein did to him. They just sit on top of the old Jeep car while enjoying the atmosphere of the night in the city of Jogja.

"I want to get in another vehicle!" said Aliyya who wanted to leave and leave Zein.

"Don't, Al." replied Zein who grabbed Aliyya's hand and made Aliyya sit down again.

Their eyes met again. Zein also approached the face of Aliyya and intended to pair the seatbelt again on Aliyya, so that their faces look closer and the nose distance between the two only set aside a distance of one cm.

The eyes of both of them locked onto each other. While Zein gets closer to Aliyya's face and makes Aliyya shuffle backwards to avoid Zein.

"Can you guys not date here?"

Aliyya and Zein were aghast for a moment and turned towards the source of the voice, in the state of the faces of the two who were still close together. Zein immediately moved from that position. Then...

"I'm sorry, sir." replied Zein who replied to the man.

"We're on night duty. So don't do bad things here sometimes" said the police officer who was on guard.

Zein got out of the Jeep and walked up to the policeman.

"Father is on duty for an illegitimate partner, isn't he? So why do you prevent us who will soon be halal" said Zein who whispered to the Police.

"Oh, so you're a husband and wife?" ask the police who are curious.

"Yes, Sir. That beautiful girl is my fiancee. So is it wrong if I indulge my future wife?" zein replied, asking back to the police.

"I'm sorry. Then continue your show with your future wife. We're giving ourselves permission. Excuse me." replied the policeman and left.

Zein smiled with satisfaction when he said he was the future husband of Aliyya, and Aliyya the future wife.

Seeing Zein smiling to himself, Aliyya was astonished. Then he came down from the Jeep.

"Why are you smiling like that? What did you tell the police?" asked Aliyya who was looking at the policeman.

"Basin' weird guy!" said Aliyya who clucked annoyed to see Zein's attitude.

Aliyya went back inside the Jeep. Then Zein drives the Jeep and heads to Aliyya's destination.

***

"I don't want to marry that girl, Ma."

Elsewhere, Zaki who had returned home after meeting Aliyya at the clothing store was visibly emotional. Because, when Aliyya came and met him at the clothing store, Zaki had seen Zein who was waiting for Aliyya outside the store.

At first Zaki thought that Zein came alone, and Aliyya actually came with Aldha. But when Aliyya comes alone and says that Aldha is waiting outside, Zaki's suspicions peak. After they finish buying clothes, Zaki intends to follow Aliyya and turns out Aliyya has lied. Aliyya did not come with Aldha, but with Zein.

For the third time, Aliyya went with Zein. The heart of the prospective husband who does not feel hot and jealous when he sees his future wife walking with another man. Moreover, Aliyya who has not had time to tell Zaki about her relationship with Zein, who is just a cousin and there is nothing special between the two.

"Mama wouldn't, either, son. If you know that Aliyya like that, then from the beginning Mama and Papa will not continue this proposal." reply the mother who was disappointed with Aliyya.

"Mama take it easy. I've made plans for tomorrow. I made sure that Aliyya and her family would be embarrassed in front of everyone." said Zaki who smiled cynically.

Zaki's mother also smiled cynically considering the incident a few days ago on the balcony that night. As they are busy discussing tomorrow's plans, Mother Zaki's phone suddenly goes off. He quickly lifted it.

"Assalamualaikum, Mas." said Zaki's mother to the brother across the street.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Deck. Looks like I can't stay at your house tonight. But I'll pick you up in the morning. We go to the house of your prospective besan equally yes." replied Brother Mother Zaki.

"Yes, Mas. Me, Zaki and my husband will be waiting for Mas at home." said Zaki's mother.

"Okay, okay. Tonight I'm standing guard in the old building because there's an event here. I closed first. Assalamualaikum." said Brother Zaki's mother.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Mas." replied Zaki's mother who hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Mother Zaki approached her only son.

"We better get some rest, son. Tomorrow morning will be a historic day for the Aliyya family" said the mother who grabbed her shoulder.

"Yes, Ma." replied Zaki who turned back and looked at the mother.

***

Aliyya and Zein finally got home. While all the lights in the house are off, it means everyone is asleep.

"Come on, we're in." said Zein who invited Aliyya in.

Zein who just stepped towards the front door was pulled quickly by Aliyya, so the two of them were close together again. Again, again and again the two eyes of Aliyya and Zein met a glance. Whether the magnet what makes the eyes of the two of them always want to meet, even lock each other.

"Sorry.." said Aliyya.

"Why did you pull my hand?" ask the curious Zein.

"Don't go through there. We passed the stairs." replied Aliyya who pointed towards the emergency stairs under the balcony of her room.

"Since when have you had the emergency stairs over there beloved niece?" zein said mocking Aliyya.

"Here you go, shut up! Come follow me." slapped Aliyya while slapping Zein's cheek.

Zein just shook his head and chuckled at Aliyya's behavior. Unknowingly, Aliyya still clasped Zein's hand and pulled him towards the emergency staircase.

"I'll go up first. After that you ride too!" aliyya said while looking up.

"Okay, sip." replied Zein who gave her thumbs up to Aliyya.

Aliyya smiled when she saw Zein's funny behavior. Then Aliyya rushed up the stairs and it did not take long, finally the girl arrived upstairs. After that, Zein caught up with Aliyya.

"How now?" ask Zein who just got to the top.

"Get out of my room! And go to your room." replied the cold Aliyya to Zein.

Zein was upset to hear Aliyya's reply. Then without further ado, Zein moved out of Aliyya's room and headed to her room with Rizal.

"Hoi, where have you been?" sahut Rizal who is still fun playing games and seeing Zein.

"You just surprised me. I was out for a while." replied Zein who was surprised but tried to calm down.

"With Aliyya?" said Rizal who tried to lure Zein.

Zein was silent for a moment when she heard Rizal's words. Because no one knows that he had gone with Aliyya at a late night increasingly visible in the sky Jogja.

"Why are you quiet?" ask Rizal who is more convinced that Zein went with Aliyya.

"No, I went alone. You're so cool with my business." Zein's whistle stays relaxed.

Rizal, who was convinced that Zein was leaving with Aliyya, moved from his seat and approached Zein.

"Don't lie, Zein. I saw you go out with Aliyya secretly and ride in that old Jeep" Rizal said, embracing his best friend's shoulder.

Zein was jolted with Rizal's words, and immediately turned his head sharply towards Rizal.

"You peeked at me?" asked Zein who pointed at Rizal's face.

"Why are you so tense like that Zein? I accidentally saw you two off while I was in the kitchen." asked Rizal back while answering Zein's question.

"Basic kepo!!!" zein was annoyed with Rizal.

Zein went to the bathroom to change clothes. While Rizal just shook his head and sat down again on the sofa of the room.

"I see, you're getting closer to Aliyya. Don't you like that girl, Zein." said Rizal, who focuses on his phone.

"There are you, Zal. Obviously me and Aliyya are close. We are cousins. Since childhood, we have been close, yes even though we also often fight." replied Zein who sat on the edge of his bed.

"Why are you talking about your childhood with Aliyya?" said Ridwan who increasingly made Zein cornered.

"Ah, stop. Too bad I answered all those useless questions. Better now we sleep, tomorrow morning we have to go to Singapore." Zein murmured.

"Yes, yeah. Any minute. My game is still a responsibility if it should be abandoned." Rizal's responsibility is still engrossed with cell phones.

Zein simply shook his head and chose to lie down on his bed. It didn't take long, finally the nosy man fell asleep and left Rizal alone.

"Basic*****you, Zein!" rizal said as he glanced at his best friend.

***

Aliyya looks happy tonight. Since returning home from the store, her smile had always been etched beautifully on Aliyya's face. The night was getting late, but the eyes of the beautiful girl were still wide open and could not be closed because she was still busy trying on some clothes that Zaki bought for her.

"All these clothes are so pretty."

Aliyya looks happy when trying all the clothes in front of the mirror.

"May my wedding go well tomorrow."
