Marriage Line Husband

Part 14: Stifling tests

...Be patient on the test that befalls you. ...

"Eugh..."

Liza moaned and was disturbed when someone changed her position which was initially comfortable sleeping hugging the bolster.

"Sleep, Honey..." Fariz rubbed the tops of Liza's head gently. Carrying the tiny body in his arms and getting rid of the bolster that the woman hugged.

The man had just returned home from the cafe after meeting Jessica. Now the clock shows at 22:00 p.m.

"Mas, where were you?" liza asked hoarsely with her eyes not yet perfectly open.

"There's a little business, honey," Fariz replied after peeping Liza's lips slightly open.

"Don't start Mas.." annoyed Liza when Fariz deliberately kissed her lips many times. Her late first husband was not like this to her. Unlike Fariz who always steals the opportunity.

"Mas is addicted, dear.." said Fariz chuckled softly."Now sleeping again," the man tighter hugged the tiny body of Liza clad in plain blue pajamas.

Silent. There was only the sound of a wall clock ticking.

Fariz was still awake with all the thought that these few days were weighing on. The man's gaze led to Liza who looked soundly sleeping in her arms. The wife's face looks peaceful and soothing when viewed.

"I hope you stay by my side no matter what." said Fariz. She hugged Liza's body even more tightly, as if she was afraid that she would leave her again.

Two months have passed...

Khaliza and Fariz's relationship is getting closer. Like couples in general, always spend time together or go to school that is not far from where they both live. Really, these past two months Liza and Fariz's marriage has been shrouded in bliss without any interference from people trying to be troublemakers in their household especially Jessica. The woman has not been seen since Fariz confirmed Liza's status in her life to Jessica.

Now, the two young couples are on their way to their hometown. As Fariz promised, once every two months he would return home. Not only misses both parents, but completes the longing Liza who has been complaining for a few days to miss her parents.

The black Avanza stopped in front of Fariz's parents' yard. It looks like Umi Fardah and Abah Hasan are already standing in front of the terrace welcoming the arrival of the two.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Umi, Abah." Fariz kissed her parents' hands in turn, followed by Liza afterwards.

"How are you, son?" abah Hasan asked while rubbing his son's sturdy shoulder.

"Thank God be good, Bah."

"Then, Liza how's it going after living with Fariz?" Abah Hasan stared at his son-in-law.

"Alhamdulillah, I was good during my stay there with Mas Fariz, Abah," Liza replied with a faint smile.

"That's not Liza, the ex-widow?" chirp Tuty stared at the house where Liza was standing right now.

"It looks like it's Liza. His appearance now looks different," Nunung replies looking at Liza who looks more contained and increasingly white skin.

Although the woman was wearing a veil, it did not cover the beauty that Liza had. Round eyes and lashes.

"If Fariz had married my daughter, my daughter would have lived a good life like Liza. Liza is another man." The spicy words just slid from Nunung's mouth as if they did not accept what Liza got.

While Liza and Fariz had entered the concrete house.

"Sit down you two. Must have been very tired on the road earlier," said Abah Hasan with a warm smile.

"Yes Abah" said Fariz and Liza smiling.

"Have you filled Liza?" The question that shot out from the mouth of Umi Fardah made everyone there stare at the middle-aged woman.

Liza shook her head slowly." Not yet, Mi."

"When it's been two months married but you're not pregnant either. Umi's afraid you're barren!"

"Eye!" reprimand Fariz encodes with a headband. As if saying not to talk about this.

"Why?" Umi Fardah looked at her son."It's true, isn't it? Liza had previously miscarried while pregnant with her first husband's child. This could be the reason she is not pregnant right now. Umi heard some women have trouble getting pregnant after a miscarriage."

"Umi. So it's only natural that Liza isn't pregnant, not because of the problem that she's had a miscarriage. The child is sustenance, as much as we try if God has not given it yet can not be forced," said Abah Hasan raised his voice.

"It is not necessary to defend Liza. Fariz is our first child, what people say is that Liza is not pregnant. See Pure, our neighbor, one month married is pregnant!" Fardah looked at her husband.

Liza lowered her head even more. Both of his hands were squeezing the robe he was wearing right now. It was as if he was channeling what he felt in the chest.

"Liza..." Fariz's gentle call made the woman turn her head. The man brought his face to the wife's ears.

"Don't put Umi's words in your heart?" fariz whispered as if he knew what Liza had in mind.

The woman nodded even though her heart said something else.

"Reply, Abah. We go to the room first." Fariz got up from his seat with his hands interlocked with Liza's.

Umi Fardah nodded. And Abah Hasan smiled.

"Umi shouldn't just talk. Don't hurt our daughter-in-law with Umi's words earlier," said Hasan after his daughter-in-law and son had entered the room.

Umi Fardah's frowning."You should have given me anything in-laws wanted, including grandchildren! And this is the reason Umi disagrees with Fariz getting married to Liza. The woman could have been unable to give Fariz offspring. Another after their marriage, we become gossip because of the status of Liza who was previously a widow!" reply Umi Fardah firmly and chest that feels heated.
