Hate But Love

116 (season 2)

In the afternoon, Alina and Arvin return home. Zara was in the kitchen cooking. Zidan helped him too. Naura exited her room and headed to the kitchen. He also wanted to help even though he had never cooked.

"Is there anything to help?" asked Naura with a faint smile. But Zara was silent. It made Naura awkward. Zidan nudged Zara's arm. But Zara remained silent and resumed cooking.

"Well, when's Naura coming?" alina asked who had just come from her room. Naura instantly turned her body looking at Alina. He smiled and hugged Alina at a glance.

"So afternoon aunt, auntie how are you?" ask Naura.

"Tante is fine" replied Alina. Naura nodded in understanding.

Soon, the food was ready at the dinner table. Zara looked more reserved than usual. His mood has not improved. And the next few days Naura will stay here with him, certainly making Zara a little upset. Zara also did not know why she behaved like this. Being cold and indifferent when he already knew that Naura was Zidan's brother. The son of Briant and Dewi who is the older sister of Alina.

They had dinner together. In the table room were Alina, Arvin, Zidan, Zara, and Naura. Raffa is still on his way home from school. The atmosphere was very quiet. No one starts talking. After the meal, Zara immediately decided to go to her room. Zidan also followed Zara into the room.

"Dear, what's wrong with you? Still jealous of Naura's sister?" ask Zidan. He sat on the edge of the bed with Zara. But Zara just nodded slowly.

"If it's not for that, then why are you acting like this?" ask Zidan again. He confronts Zara while holding both of Zara's shoulders.

"I'm still angry with you! Far away there!" said Zara. He pushed Zidan slowly away from him. Zidan scrunched his forehead. He was confused as to where his mistake was this time. Whereas the usual Zara will not behave like this either.

"You why? I'm sorry if I did you wrong. But don't leave me like this, baby" Zidan said as he approached Zara. Zara looked down and she cried. Zidan was surprised and immediately grabbed him into his arms. Zidan kissed the top of Zara's head gently.

"I don't want Naura to be here" said Zara slowly but Zidan still heard her.

"What's that?" zidan asked, not believing what Zara had told him.

"I don't want to see Zidan! Or if sister Naura doesn't want to go, I'll just go home to mama's house" replied Zara slowly. I don't know why he didn't want to see Naura. Every time he saw it, he felt angry. Maybe because of the influence of her pregnancy hormones or what she does not understand. Zidan sighed for a moment. He could not have driven Naura out of her home. But Zidan was also confused, his wife did not want Naura to be here.

"Honey, just a few days, Brother Naura lives here" said Zidan. I hope Zara understands that.

"Well, I'll just go home to my mom" Zara replied. Zidan again just took a slow breath. He no longer knew how to persuade Zara.

"I can't possibly drive away brother Naura dear. Sorry," said Zidan. He kissed Zara's head.

After a small argument, Zidan finally brought Zara to his apartment for a while. Not that he did not like living in Anton's house, but the distance from home to his office was quite far into his consideration. After that decision, Zara was finally able to smile happily. Zidan could only shake his head to see Zara's unexpected attitude. They're going to the apartment tomorrow while Zidan leaves for his office.

In the living room, Naura was chatting with Arvin and Alina. For almost five years Naura had never visited them. Usually, after school always stop by this house. Everything feels different now.

"How are your parents?" ask Arvin. He took the prepared coffee and drank it.

"Mama is equally healthy. But, they are always busy with their work" said Naura.

"Either uncle, Naura doesn't know either. Oh yeah, Zidan's married? Kok Naura does not know this big news," said Naura. Arvin and Alina just smiled.

"Yes, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. Their marriage was also sudden and closed at the time" Alina replied. Naura nodded in understanding. They continued to talk until the night.

The next morning, Raffa was exercising in the backyard. Because today the class is off. He wants to spend his time at home. Alina was preparing breakfast as usual. Zidan and Zara prepare for their apartment.

Zidan carried a small bag containing their clothes. He put it in the family room first. Then he approached Zara again who was still in the room.

Naura finished the bath, she rushed to the kitchen to help Alina.

"Aunty to aunty" said Naura. Alina just smiled broadly.

"Tante, how come Zara didn't help auntie cook?" naura asked because she did not see Zara in the kitchen.

"Yes, she's pregnant right now. Have you met him?" Alina. Naura nodded thinly.

"Have a slightly strange attitude. It turns out to be pregnant, "inner Naura.

"Mom, I'm having breakfast and Zara is going to the apartment. Maybe it will stay there for two or three days" said Zidan who had just arrived. Alina turned to Zidan.

"Why?" alina asked in surprise.

"Well, we just want to enjoy the moment alone" Zidan replied casually. He pulled out a chair and sat there.

After the sport, Raffa rushed to his room to clean up. He had not exercised in the morning like this.

This morning Zara returned nauseous and vomiting. He was in the bathroom and looked pale. Zara exhaled slowly while rubbing her still flat stomach.

"Honey, don't make mama nauseous again dong," murmured Zara. After feeling better, he came out of the bathroom and sat on the sofa for a while. He didn't want the whole house to worry about him.

Everyone had gathered in the dining room except Zara. Zara chose to stay in her room because she had no appetite anymore.

"Where is your wife Zidan?" asked Arvin while scooping his food.

"Still in Pa's room, maybe you'll be here soon" Zidan replied. He again enjoyed his breakfast.

"Did Zara not want to see me? Is he still mad at me?" inner Naura who was uncomfortable with Zara's attitude towards her. Though Zara did not avoid it at all at this time. He just felt nauseous and didn't want to worry them.
