Little Bride Alvaro

124. Go the Far

Ten o'clock in the evening, just as Alvaro was about to take a drink in the kitchen. The sound of the voice of the mother and her father chatting outside the back area of the house.

The man stepped in silence, afraid that the movement of his legs would interfere with the conversation of his parents. He plugged his ears wide, stealing the hearing of the conversation of his mother and father.

"So, Mama went to Zizi's house this afternoon?" Papa Agus' voice softened, inaudible to blame or scold his wife.

Mama Rani nodded her head, then said, "Mama is confused, Pa." The woman raised her head, looking up at the sky with a tinge of stars studded in the sky. "Mama wants Alvaro to be happy, but Mama also wants Almeera to be Mama's daughter-in-law."

"Why did Mama suddenly not like Zizi? Didn't your mom love him so much? Remember, Ma. When we seduce the Zizi family into giving up their son for our son? Where do we feel as in-laws who treat girls arbitrarily?"

Mama Rani looks teary, she remembers how she was so persistent in marrying Alvaro to Azlina, even though both Azlina's parents refused because her daughter was still in school. However, he was still reluctant to realize his selfishness.

"But, Pa ... Mama's still pissed off with their family." Staring at the husband with hope so that what he said could melt the man's heart.

"Sean Paderson told Almeera's superiors to remove Almeera from office just because of personal problems. Does Papa know how petty they are? Mama feels guilty about Almeera, Pa. Because Mama persuaded him to marry Alvaro, but because of that, it only got him fired from his job. Pa, put Almeera in Papa's office, okay? Who knows then that he's become closer to our son."

"Enough, Ma! Papa knows everything. Almeera was fired not because of Alvaro, but he was involved in corruption. So, don't assume that it's all the fault of our daughter-in-law's family. He's not guilty of anything. We are guilty of it."

The woman shook her head, not believing her husband's words. She feels her husband has been influenced by Sean Paderson. Seeing how scary the Canadian man whose influence is almost absolute, must make her husband afraid not to wart.

"No, Mama believes Almeera is innocent. Smeua was just Sean Paderson's wits to keep Almeera down and not bother Alvaro anymore. She went home, crying because she felt unfairly treated. Pa, we have to help her. Mama's dying to be Mama's daughter-in-law."

...***...

At the airport, Sean and Salwa are waiting for Azlina to arrive. Today is the schedule of the woman's departure to get her education abroad as her ideals from the beginning.

Not long after, Azlina came with her two older brothers to take her away. Two suitcases were dragged by Ahsan and Alfatih, while Azlina only carried a backpack and a small sling bag dangling from her waist.

Salwa nodded and smiled, approaching her youngest sister. They hugged with tears releasing Azlina's departure.

"Mr will miss you. I'm sure you can get through this. Show everyone that you can be an amazing woman."

Azlina nodded in Salwa's arms. He doesn't know what to do. Two weeks since the incident at his home, there has been no clarity from Alvaro. The man contacted her every day, asking for news, and her pregnancy had not been noticed. But he never talked about his mother. Is there any progress in taking Mama Rani's heart or not? Perhaps there has been no significant progress, so Alvaro decided not to tell Azlina so that his wife was not sad.

The hug unraveled, with eyes already filled with tears.

Azlina asked for permission briefly to contact someone. He pulled over after her, looking for calmness to call one name. "Alvaro".
