LOVE STORY OF AZZAHRA

Idol Aunty-Tante

Azzahra looked at every corner of the villa building he would inhabit for the next three days Everything looked neat and clean even though the villa was built decades ago.

" So this villa belongs to Mama Manda huh, sis?" azzahra asked back after she had heard her husband say that.

" Right, Honey. Dad said this was a gift Dad David gave Mommy Manda when they got married first." Gavin explained.

" Must be a lot of memories for Papa and Mama Kak Gavin in this house huh, Sis?" Azzahra turned to her husband.

" Yes, of course. And it's possible that in this place I'm being driven by my Dad and Mommy, too" Gavin sneered.

Azzahra rounded her eyes to hear her husband joking. But soon Azzahra heard her husband's breath that felt heavy.

" Sister Gavin must be sad to remember Mama Manda?" Azzahra rubbed her husband's arm because she could stare at the husband's sad face when telling him about his Mommy.

" I'll always melow when I think of Mommy, Honey." Gavin's voice sounded rather heavy.

Azzahra now clasped her hands to her husband's wide back. He could feel the sadness that Gavin felt.

" I still can't figure out why Mommy can hate Dad David so much, that I'm affected by hating him."

" Until the place where Daddy gave him did not want to be accepted after they separated," continued Gavin.

" Papa David was a very kind and wise man, Brother."

" That's it, I'm so sorry all my life to hate him without getting to know Dad David first."

" What matters now is that Kak Gavin and Papa David's relationship has gradually improved, Brother." Azzahra tried to encourage her husband.

" Yes, I'm grateful for that. All this time I've been completely lost" said Gavin.

" However Mommy used to be, I still love her. As hard as Mommy used to be, she was still a very meritorious person until I lived this big." Gavin chuckles discordantly.

" I really miss him." Gavin wiped away the clear liquid in the corner of his eye.

" If Brother Gavin misses Mama Manda, Brother Gavin can send a prayer for Mama Manda after prayer." Azzahra tried to give advice.

" Yes, you're right, Honey. I haven't visited his grave in a long time either."

" Where is Mama Manda's grave, sister?" azzahra asked, because he had never known and Gavin never mentioned it.

" In the famous cemetery in the Karawang area." Gavin mentioned the name of the funeral.

" The burial place of the rich is yes, Brother." Azzahra had heard of the cemetery.

" Yes, maybe people will think that way." Gavin. " I just want to give you a decent place for Mommy's final rest."

" Wherever the place is, what is worthy of the dead man is what his deeds and deeds are in his lifetime. And we as family members can only help pray that Almarhumah is forgiven all his sins and accepted his charity," said Azzahra sage.

" You're right, Honey. I give you a proper resting place but I rarely pray for Mommy" Gavin said.

" After coming back from here we stop by Mama Manda's grave, sister. I'd like to introduce myself as Gavin's wife." Azzahra. " It should be when we get married we go there," he continued.

" All right, we'll be there." Gavin stroked Azzahra's head in hijab.

" If Mommy's still around, Mommy would love to have a daughter-in-law as good as you, Honey." Gavin then dipped his lips on the temple of Azzahra.

" If Mama Manda is still alive, then Gavin may still be her husband, Mrs Agatha" Azzahra said.

Gavin laughed at his wife's words.

" Sometimes I don't think, why would I want to be told to marry Agatha. Why don't I have the ability to resist Mommy's wish to marry Agatha first" Gavin regretted.

" If Kak Gavin does not comply with Mama Manda's request, surely Kak Gavin is currently married to Kak Jovanka, dong! And not marry me. Then does Brother Gavin regret marrying me?" Azzahra poked her lips.

" No, Honey. That's not what I mean." Gavin denied what Azzahra had accused him of.

" I've never regretted marrying you, Honey. Believe me.. I was happy to marry you, although at first I knew you always being silly ...."

" And it sucks," cut Azzahra fast.

Gavin laughed loudly considering how early their meeting was.

" Well, remember when you fainted, Honey? What was on your mind at the time?" sindir Gavin's.

" I'm scared, Brother. I was really afraid of being raped at that time." Azzahra covered her face in embarrassment.

" Is that how bad I'm on your mind, Honey?" ask Gavin.

" I don't know, Brother. It was only when Gavin took me to the hotel room that I was afraid I would be forcibly pulled in and told to serve Gavin."

" Who would have thought that we were in the marriage bond just like we are today."

" And love one another .." said Azzahra.

" Love each other too despite using a hazy drama when you want to marry first." Gavin chuckles.

" It was fortunate that I met Teh Tata, so we could meet again, sister." Azzahra smile.

" Yes, my sister even though sometimes her behavior sucks but her heart is good." Gavin smiled too.

" That's why Gavin liked Tata Tea, right?" Azzahra glanced at her husband.

Gavin gave a smile as he spread his shoulders.

" The first time I met Alexa, I felt she was very special. My heart was suddenly moved wanting to be close to him, wanting to protect him, wanting to love him. It turns out that impulse was due to inner contact because we were brothers, she's my cousin's sister whom I used to love so much." Gavin tries to recall how he approached Natasha even though she was still married to Agatha.

" Tea Tata is lucky to have an older brother like Brother Gavin."

Gavin turned to Azzahra.

" I'm glad your relationship with Alexa is getting better."

" Who's the lucky one to have that special place in your heart?" Gavin pretended not to understand.

" O Gavin, who else is he?"

Gavin smelled a smile as he stared fixedly at Azzahra.

" Why do you love me, Honey?" ask Gavin curiously.

Azzahra pressed his shoulders.

" Maybe it's because we're often together and we often argue, hate each other. People say hate and love is different. And I prove it now." Azzahra.

" Sister Gavin himself, why can you love me?" Azzahra now flips Gavin's question.

" Because you're beautiful." Gavin's short answer certainly did not make Azzahra satisfied.

" Just beautiful?" Azzahra wished that her husband would go a long way to tell her the reason why he loved her.

" It's because you're beautiful, right? It's beautiful here." Gavin touched Azzahra's face. " Mainly here." Now Gavin pointed at his wife's chest.

" Although initially fierce but the beauty of your heart is finally able to destroy my heart. Especially when you're with a breastplate can forgive and accept my past."

" I feel so grateful to be reunited with a woman like you, Honey." Gavin grabbed Azzahra's hand and peeked at the back of his wife's slender finger.

" Excuse me, Den, Neng. Aunt's dinner is ready. Probably want to eat now, it's still warm." The sound of ART treating this villa suddenly rang out in the ears of Gavin and Azzahra.

" Oh, thank you, Mom." Gavin.

" Nohun, Mom." Azzahra also thanked the ART.

" Sami-sami, Neng." The ART soon passed from before Gavin and Azzahra.

" We're eating now?" ask Gavin.

" Yes, Brother."

Gavin put his hand on Azzahra's shoulder and took his wife to the table.

" What cooking, Mom?" ask Gavin when he arrives at the dinner table.

" Pepes fish, vegetable squash chay, tempeh and fried tofu, the same shrimp croup, Den." ART's mother.

" Thank you, Mom." Gavin pulled out a chair and let Azzahra sit down.

" This used to be the favorite cuisine of Mamihnya Den Gavin." ART's mother told me.

" Oh yeah? I never knew Mommy liked this food" Gavin said.

" That's because Gavin's sister lives abroad. There might not be a food menu like this." Azzahra.

" A, right too, Honey. Who can cook like this over there?" Gavin chuckled.

" Yes we eat now. I'll just eat here with us" Gavin told ART's mother.

" No, Den. Aunt eat behind the same other later." ART's mother rejects Gavin's subtle invitation.

" Oh that's it, then we go first, yeah!" Gavin.

" Please, Den. Excuse me." ART's mother said goodbye and left the two of them to eat dinner.

" Honey, if we're in Bandung, how about we go to Aunt Nabilla's house?" gavin asked after they ate dinner and went back to the room.

" Aunty Nabilla?" Azzahra scrunched his forehead. " Aunty-tabte fan of Gavin's sister?" azzahra's insinuation made Gavin laugh so loud that he held his stomach.

" Geez, Honey. What's on your mind if I mention that Aunt's name is my fan women?" Gavin was endlessly laughing.

" Because Gavin's sister is a Auntie." Azzahra.

" Who do you remember Aunt Nabilla?" Gavin was still chuckling.

" What do I remember for?" Azzahra doesn't care.

" Honey, Aunt Nabilla's my aunt, Mommy Manda's sister. Alexa's mother." Gavin tries to recall Azzahra.

" Astaghfirullahal!" pekik Azzahra beristighfar while closing his mouth makes Gavin laugh again.

" O Allah I do not remember the name of Mama Teh Tata, Brother. Sorry .." sorry Gavin.

" You don't apologize to me. Apologize to Alexa for telling her mom.' Gavin then picks up his phone and tries to contact someone.

" How does Alexa react if you know you're accusing her Mom of being a aunt who likes young leaves, huh?" Gavin started scaring his wife.

Azzahra widened her eyes.

" Sister, don't tell me Tata Tea, later Tata Tea is angry ..." Azzahra pleaded with her husband not to tell Natasha about his conjecture.

" Hello, Assalamualaikum ..." The voice of the woman from across the street when Gavin's phone call was connected and Gavin accidentally turned on the loudspeaker on his phone, making Azzahra's face stiffen immediately.
