Little Bride Alvaro

15. Speak Four Eyes

The room looks empty. There was only the sound of the breathing of a human child who was crying as he pleased at the end of the bed.

Azlina still buried her face after several long and wide lectures from her parents. He didn't even get a chance to dodge or defend himself against the lopsided allegations because of the statements Alvaro had made about their relationship.

He feels innocent. In fact, Azlina felt like she was being framed by the man. I don't know what exactly Alvaro means to involve him in this kind of situation.

The sound of knocking on the door made Azlina wipe her tears rough using the back of her hand. The snot that almost came out was wiped with a lot of tissue that had been scattered filled the floor of his room.

He wanted to get up to open the door of the room, but stopped him from doing it because he was still hurt by the attitude of all those who no longer believed in him.

She never lies, but because of Alvaro's words, Azlina looks like a lying girl who likes to deal with adult men secretly. Until everyone's views on it change.

"Azlina, open! It's Ibuk!" Ibuk's voice simultaneously pounding on the door made Azlina immediately rush up from her sleep. No matter how angry she was, it could not ignore the woman who had given birth to her.

He opened the door a little wide, raising his face without even coming out.

"Comeout. Alvaro's parents want to see you."

"Tante Rani and Om Agus?" Azlina looked puzzled, why did Alvaro's parents look for her after they had spoken at length this morning? Had the conversation earlier this morning not been enough as well so they had to continue at home. "Why did they come, Buk?"

Ms. Darmini smiled, then rubbed Azlina's head. The sweet treatment made Azlina frown in wonder. Isn't it after the hotel everyone scolded her all out, then why could her mother smile at this moment?

"Come, I'm going out!" Azlina said the girl came out of the room without washing her face to simply wipe away the traces of tears that had previously poured out without stopping. The grip of Ms. Darmini's hand slightly calmed Azlina's heart to stay with what was being faced, until when they were in the living room, Azlina stopped her steps.

There have been Om Agus, Aunt Rani, and Alvaro. They stared at Azlina's arrival with various expressions that were difficult to decipher.

Azlina directed her gaze towards the man, Alvaro who had now also looked at him. For a moment they looked at each other, staring at each other with a different view. Azlina looked at Alvaro with an annoyed, disappointed, angry look. While Alvaro looked at Azlina with a bitter and guilty look.

Until the gentle grip on Azlina's shoulder turned the girl's attention to the side. "Come, meet them!"

Azlina nodded, forcing a smile to both of Alvaro's parents. Her face still looked puffy, showing how long she had been crying.

And what happened next was enough to make Azlina not warty. Aunty Rani walked towards Azlina, then hugged the girl like a mother who had not seen her daughter for so long.

"Yes, geez. Why is my mom crying?"

What, Mama? Since when did Azlina have a new Mama?

Aunt Rani affectionately rubbed Azlina's face, clearing the tears that almost dried up on the girl's pretty face. Azlina could only obey, unable to say anything, let alone just answer the strange words that had just come out of the lips of Aunt Rani.

The two women of different ages walked together with Aunt Rani who guided Azlina like a child herself.

"So, two more days of your marriage will be performed."

Azlina was so shocked by the one-sided information spoken by her father. Why don't they ask him first. This is about his future. He who goes through, not others, but as if his opinion is not at all important and should not be considered.

His views were directed at Alvaro. He hated that man even more. Alvaro is a shameless man, trapping an innocent girl like himself to impose his will, confining Azlina's life.

Mama Maya's hand grips are getting tight in her fingers. It was as if the middle-aged woman gave power to Azlina, supporting and protecting Azlina and demanding not to debate the decision.

"Mom knows it's heavy. But, for the sake of the future and the good name of the family and for your own happiness, I think this is the best path."

"But, Tan ...."

"Srsst! Call Mama, because soon you're Mama's son too. Mama doesn't have a daughter, so Mama is very happy to hear Alvaro chose you to be his wife. If Alvaro dares to hurt you, Mama will make a calculation with him. So, you take it easy, yeah, honey!"

Seeing how Aunt Rani treated Azlina with such affection made doubt Bu Darmini and Mr. Samsul, Azlina's parents, did not hesitate anymore to hand her youngest daughter over to them. Although heavy hearts release, but it is inevitable if someday, sooner or later Azlina will come out of the house to join her husband.

"We agree. We hope you can accept Azlina, our daughter and treat her well. He is still very young, his potent nature cannot be lost. So, we ask for his patience in treating Azlina," said Mr. Samsul with teary eyes.

What the fuck? Why does everyone not ask their opinion? Even the two older brothers who used to defend themselves were silent and did not dare to say a word.

Until Azlina with all her might ventured to say something. "Can I speak with my future husband?" he said with a glance towards Alvaro.

The man returned Azlina's stare with a smile. He knew that the little girl hated him, so he could imagine how exciting his marriage would be.

"Oh, of course. But remember, yes, you are not legitimate. So don't be so tacky." Aunt Rani said as she rubbed Azlina's hair. The girl just smiled flatly in response to the joke of her future mother-in-law.

Yeah, what's a tacky? It was precisely at this moment that Azlina was eager to hit the perverted man so that he would be aware of what he had done.

I don't know what happened last night. Azlina knew nothing. Did Alvaro secretly touch her while she was sound asleep? Did that perverted Om have seen a very private part of his body and touched it without permission. Azlina was furious that the man had done it.

Until a hand pulled his arm in front of everyone, making the girl raise her face.

"Come, let's just get out. Let the parents arrange our marriage."

Everyone's expression seemed to nod in agreement and it made Azlina even more upset. It was as if the word out that Alvaro uttered was only Azlina's reason for seeking a chance alone with that perverted Om.

"I just want to talk, not anything else." But Azlina's words were responded with a joke by Aunt Rani and Om Agus.

"Yes, we understand. Come outside!"

It sucks, but Azlina doesn't care. Without changing clothes or just tidying up, she moved from her seat, following where Alvaro took her away.
