Forced to Marry an Uncle's Child

Episode 9 ~ Destroyed Dreams

...🌹🌹🌹...

The sound of alarm woke Zein from his long sleep. Zein got up and grabbed the clock.

"God! It's five o'clock. My plane's six this morning."

Zein moved and went straight into the bathroom. Hearing a whisper made Rizal wake up.

"Geez! We can be late, Zein." said Rizal who looked next to him.

Rizal did not realize that Zein had entered the bathroom. Rizal got out of bed.

"Zein, let's hurry. We'll be late." exclaimed Rizal from the front of the bathroom.

Not long after, Zein came out and was ready with his casual clothes.

"Quick shower! Otherwise I'll go alone!" exclaim Zein who rules Rizal.

Rizal was upset and went straight into the bathroom. While Zein was busy tidying up her face and hair. Now the appearance of the man was very handsome and fragrant.

"Singapore, I'm coming..."

As Zein was engrossed in the mirror, suddenly there was the sound of knocking on the door from outside. Zein approached the door and opened it.

"Mama..."

With a shaken step, Sonia immediately barged into Zein's room.

"Why haven't you left Zein yet?" ask Sonia who looks tense.

"I was waiting for Rizal, Ma." replied Zein who was still relaxed.

"Okay, listen to Mama. You just go through the back door because there are many people in front. Everyone is busy for Aliyya's event today. So hurry up and leave the house!" sonia told Zein.

Zein who saw the anxiety streak on the mother's face also looked astonished and confused. While Sonia was giving directions to Zein, seeing Rizal coming out of the bathroom.

"Ridwan is done. Now go!" sonia exclaimed at both.

"Alright, Ma. I go first yes. Bye.." said Zein, who kissed Sonia's hand.

Zein and Rizal rushed out of the room and walked down the stairs. Without anyone looking, they managed to get out the back door. Actually Zein is still confused by the attitude of the mother who looks strange and frightened. But the man chose not to heed that, because his current mind is Singapore.

***

"Are you ready, son?"

Seeing the son who was ready, Mother Zaki also came to Zaki who was sitting quietly in front of her dressing table. At the time of the wedding like this, usually the look on the face of the bride and groom looks sparkling and happy. But not with Zaki who seemed to be trying hard to reduce the emotions in his heart. Zaki let out a rough sigh and turned to look at the mother.

"Already, Ma." replied Zaki who was smiling cynically.

"Let's get down. Your uncle is waiting for us downstairs." said Zaki's mother.

Zaki got up from his seat and walked out of the room with his mother. When he got to the bottom floor, Zaki walked over and approached the uncle who was sitting with his father.

"Come, let's go, Pa, Uncle." said Zaki.

"You're so handsome, son." said the uncle, who praised his nephew.

Zaki just smiled meaningfully. But the uncle's praise did not dampen his intentions for Aliyya today.

"Come, Mas. Our ballerina candidates must have been waiting for our arrival there." said Zaki's mother to the brother.

"Come.." replied Uncle Zaki.

They also walked out of the house, where all the members of the Zaki family had been waiting for him since. Then they all got into the car and moved to Aliyya's house.

***

"You're so pretty, honey."

With great painstaking care, Sabrina accompanied the princess in her room and continued to praise her eldest daughter's beauty.

"Look, Mom. The letters of her name look very beautiful in the palm of my hand." said Aliyya who showed henna in her hand.

"God has destined Zaki for you, dear" replied Sabrina who kissed her daughter's head.

Aliyya's smile was very beautiful on her face. Since then he always looked at the painting of the letter Z henna in his palm.

The letter painting gave a very deep meaning to Aliyya. The henna painting means that in a moment, she will marry someone named Zaki. And that man will soon be her husband.

***

Umar and Galuh are currently in front of the house. They are waiting for the arrival of their son-in-law.

"Aliyya who will get married, why am I the one who feels impatient" said Galuh who looked over here and there.

"Hahahaha. Soon you will be the guardian of your daughter's marriage." replied Umar who laughed at Galuh.

Galuh just chuckled at the words of his sister-in-law. But the nervousness, fear and tension did not want to go from his heart. All the family members and guests were waiting inside the house. Sonia, Farhan, Namira and Shafia were seen sitting there.

"Have you managed to get Zein out of here?" ask Shafia who whispered.

"It's all done!" answer the relaxed Sonia.

"Mama's sure that Papa won't ask Zein's whereabouts later?" ask Namira who does not want to lose to Shafia.

"Mama will solve that problem later, most importantly at the moment, my son is gone and will not get into trouble" explained Sonia who looked tense.

Namira and Shafia smiled when they found out that Zein was gone. Same with Sonia, Namira and Shafia also do not like the Aliyya family. But between the two women there is still a difference.

Namira does not like Aliyya, but she is still sweet and polite towards her family. While Shafia, the woman shows her dislike of Aliyya's family openly.

Somehow Sonia was so desperate to get Zein to leave because she was afraid that Zein would get into trouble if he stayed here.

What kind of trouble would make Sonia fear like that? I don't know.

Not long after, the group of men finally came. Their arrival filled the courtyard of Aliyya's house so that it made the atmosphere very crowded. With enthusiasm, Umar and Galuh also picked up and welcomed their arrival.

"Assalamualaikum" said Zaki's father who just got out of the car.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, come on please come in." replied Galuh who looked very happy.

"Welcome to the Zaki family" said Umar, who welcomed them all.

"Thank you, sir. Your welcome has made our family very honored." replied the friendly Uncle Zaki.

"Come, everyone. Please enter!" Galuh.

They all enter Zaki as a groom who will enter the house of his future wife.

When the Zaki family entourage entered, everyone waiting inside stood up. A sign of respect for all who come. Zaki also walked to the place that has been provided for the kabul ijab process. Accompanied by his mother, Zaki walks slowly as a groom.

After Zaki sat in that beautiful place, all the guests also sat in the place that has been provided. Not long after, Aliyya went out and came down from the top floor. With white clothes and natural makeup adds a beautiful impression on the face of Aliyya.

As Aliyya was walking down the stairs with Sabrina and Aldha, all eyes were on the beautiful bride.

Praise after praise was sounding from the lips of the invited guests. The beauty of Aliyya is able to make all hypnotized. But not with Zaki and Zaki's mother. They even sneered sarcastically looking towards the girl. But things were different with my uncle. When he saw Aliyya, he suddenly remembered something.

"It seems I've seen this girl."

"Follow me a minute, Dek." said Uncle Zaki who pulled Mother Zaki's hand out.

Zaki's mother who saw her brother's strange attitude was astonished and confused. But he resigned when his brother pulled him.

"What the hell is it?" asked Zaki's mother who had been astonished since.

"Are you sure you're going to marry Zaki to the girl?" ask Uncle Zaki who made Mother Zaki curious.

"Why is it, then? What's up?" ask Zaki's mother who is getting curious.

"I saw the girl in the old building with a guy last night. Their faces were so close that they almost kissed. When I came and caught them, they looked very surprised. Then the man said that the girl was his future wife." Uncle Zaki explained.

Zaki's mother was silent for a moment. Now complete is the evidence he got a few days ago. First, he sees Aliyya hugging Zein on the balcony of his room. Second, Zaki, the son also saw Aliyya's affection with Zein while at the airport. And now, Uncle Zaki also came to see firsthand the affection of Aliyya and Zein while in the old building.

It turns out that the cop who caught Aliyya and Zein last night was Uncle Zaki who was on duty in the old building.

"I've also seen the girl cuddle with another man, Mas." said Zaki's mother turned her back to the older brother.

"Why is this marriage still going on?" ask Uncle Zaki who was carried away by emotions.

"Let's see it later! My son is not that stupid to be married to a bad woman like Aliyya" replied Zaki's mother who smiled cynically.

The brother just stared at the astonishment of his sister. Then they went back into Aliyya's house and joined the others.

"Are the two brides ready?" ask Penghulu on both.

Zaki glanced at Aliyya who was bowed in shame and did not dare to look at everyone. A cynical smile as he glanced at Aliyya was re-engraved.

"Wait, Sir!" said Zaki who stopped the continuity of the event and got out of the chair.

Degh's!

The cheerful and happy atmosphere instantly turned extremely tense when Zaki said that word. Everyone's eyes were on him, including Aliyya.

Aliyya who had been bowed immediately raised her head and looked towards Zaki. Galuh and Umar threw eyes at each other. They were surprised by Zaki's words.

On the other hand, Mother Zaki smiled faintly upon hearing the son's words. He knew exactly what would be planned for his son's future wife. While Uncle and Father Zaki, were astonished by Zaki's sudden attitude asking for time on Penghulu.

Another is Zaki's mother, another is Sonia. His heart felt bad when he heard Zaki's words. His heart is beating very fast. I don't know what will happen to this show.

I hope this has nothing to do with my son. Sonia murmured in the heart.

Penghulu also looked towards Galuh and Umar with a look of wonder. Galuh looked back at Sabrina who was sitting with Aldha.

"What's up, son?" ask the curious Galuh.

"Before I say Ijab kabul in front of all of you. Allow me to say thank you first. I would like to thank Mr. Galuh's family for accepting me as his eldest daughter's future husband."

Instantly, the anxiety that had been clearly visible on the faces of Galuh and Sabrina, now turned into a smile full of gratitude and happiness for getting a good daughter-in-law like Zaki. Likewise with Umar, the face of the middle-aged man who has the status of Aliyya's uncle also seemed to sparkle when he heard the words of his future son-in-law. While Sonia, she also seemed to smile thinly, not because she was happy to see Aliyya happy, but because she was relieved by Zaki's initial words.

"I thank you that my family and I have been greeted with great respect. I was so happy when I found out that I was going to be betrothed to a very beautiful woman. And now she's sitting sweet, right next to me."

Zaki's words managed to make a blushing red color radiate on both of Aliyya's beautiful cheeks. Her sweet smile was re-engraved until she dared not look at Zaki. While Zaki who saw Aliyya just smiled knotty and very cold. Then...

"Today is a very historic day for me and especially Aliyya herself. Because today. My Zaki Mahendra Son promised, that I will not continue this wedding!!!!" zaki said in a very loud voice.

Duaaaarrrrrrr!

Like lightning in the morning. Suddenly the sky turned dark. Aliyya who was downcast and blushed in embarrassment since then, immediately raised her head and stared intently at Zaki.

Not only Aliyya, the guests were shocked and immediately stood up when they heard the man's words, including Umar and Sonia. Umar was really very surprised when he heard the words that came out of the lips of the future husband of his favorite nephew.

Zaki who was already standing was staring intently at Aliyya. His eyes turned red like a monster holding back anger. Aliyya slowly got out of her chair and walked closer to Zaki.

"What do you mean?" asked Aliyya whose lips were shaking and her eyes were starting to heat up.

"Are my words unclear? I will not continue this marriage. That means, I'm canceling our wedding!" zaki said with his loud voice.

Tears escaped from the corner of Aliyya's eyes. His lips trembled and were shocked when he heard Zaki's words.

"Why did you cancel this wedding? It wasn't you who came here and proposed to me in front of my parents. Then why did it end like this?" aliyya asked Zaki for an explanation.

"You ask why Al? Then why are you always alone with another man when our marriage is near? Huh!" zaki's toilet stared intently at Aliyya.

Degh's!

Aliyya was silent and her eyes looked bright. Instantly his memories returned, the first time he met Zein and that was when the misunderstanding between them occurred.

Another guy? Is it possible that Zaki has always seen me when I was with Zein. Aliyya muttered in her heart.

Sabrina who saw the debate between the two could not hold back her tears anymore. While Aldha tried to calm his mother so as not to cry.

Umar and Galuh also threw eyes at each other. They really did not understand Zaki's words. Then Galuh and Umar approached them.

"What are you saying, Zaki? Why are you accusing Aliyya of being with another man?" galuh asked, holding his daughter's shoulder.

"Princess Mr Galuh is already playing around while behind me. Not only once, not even just me, my mother also saw Aliyya while with the man!" zaki's very emotional.

Aliyya was still silent and remained unmoved. Her tears continued to flow nonstop.

"I have proof, sir!" said Zaki who took something out of his pants pocket.

Galuh and Umar were astonished to throw one another's eyes again. While Aliyya turned her head slightly towards Zaki.

"This is the man!!!"

Aliyya was very surprised when she saw the photo. Galuh, Umar, Sabrina and Sonia.

"Zein.." said Umar who saw a photo of his favorite son with Aliyya.

Sonia's eyes are perfectly rounded when she sees a photo of the son being caught on camera and being friendly with Aliyya, while they are at the airport. Not only Sonia, Galuh, Sabrina, Aldha, Farhan, Namira and Shafia. Everyone was surprised to see the friendly photos that further cornered Aliyya. An anxious and agitated face haunts Sonia.

"That picture is not true, Zaki. He's Zein. He's just my cousin. He's just my uncle's son. We have no other relationship, other than a sibling relationship" said Aliyya, who tried to defend herself.

"It's not true you said? Then what happened that night? The incident when you hugged her in the balcony of your room? Does the incident that night still lack evidence that you have a special relationship with that man?" zaki's toilet is increasingly cornered Aliyya.

Degh's!

The memory of Aliyya's brain immediately rotates and is remembered by the events of that night. That night Aliyya still mistakenly thought that Zein was Zaki who was about to give her a gift.

"You've misunderstood, Zaki! That night I thought that..."

"Stop!!!
