Marriage Line Husband

Part 15: A heart that is eroded

Liza sat herself on the side of the bed, clearly visible from the look of her eyes showing sadness. Umi Fardah's words are so disturbing his thoughts and feelings at this time. He was afraid that what his parents were saying was the truth.

"Darling, don't think about that. Maybe umi was exhausted to speak the origin like that," said Fariz trying to eliminate the eternal wife. His right hand stretched out rubbing Liza's head covered in hijab.

Liza did not answer. The woman lowered her head for a moment with both hands interlocked.

"I'm sorry. I haven't been able to give you a child..."

"No. Don't talk like that, honey." Fariz sat down before his wife and clasped Liza's hands."Mas never demanded you to quickly give Mas a child. Don't infuse sadness with something you haven't gotten. Everything is in God's hands. Including our wishes about the child."

Liza nodded. The woman hugged her husband. He was so fixated on his heartache that he forgot everything in the circle of His Lord's destiny.

The man clutched the tiny body, minutes later Fariz outlined his embrace.

"We came back here to treat your longing for mom and dad. Not crying like this." Fariz rubbed the corner of Liza's tear-stained eyes.

Liza stared deeply at the man she had previously denied her presence. And now the man became a protector and always treated himself with all gentleness. Could He have put his hopes on including his immense love for Fariz.

Slowly Danu's name gradually began to erode in her heart.

"You wait a minute, I'll get you some water first."

Liza nodded.

"Where's your wife, Fariz?" ask umi Fardah when she finds her son in the kitchen.

"He was angry with Umi's words?"

"Liza was not at all angry with Umi's words. But I beg Umi to be more careful talking, let alone talking about the child to Liza."

"Indeed why? Not that it's normal. Are you not aware of the age you have approached the head of three but have not yet found a child! It's nothing, Riz, Umi's just afraid you're wrong looking for a wife's seed."

Fariz heaved a heavy sigh hearing the spicy words of Umi Fardah. If Liza is here, she does not guarantee that she is not hurt by the words of the Umi.

"I'll go to the room first." Fariz chose to stay away instead of having to hear the grunts about his wife.

Really, his chest ached every spicy pop that came out of his parents' mouths about Liza.

"Honey. Drink first." Fariz gave a glass of water which was immediately welcomed by the woman.

The man smiled faintly at the wife.

"More rest in the room. Before Zhuhur Mas will wake you up. Umi's speech was not too thoughtful," said Fariz softly with a warm smile.

Liza shook her head."I'm not good with umi, Mas. I better help umi in the kitchen or clean the house. I'm afraid umi thinks I'm a bad daughter-in-law."

"No, Liza. Umi must understand your situation. You might get sick because you push yourself too much. Now rest in the room."

Liza sighed softly. He had to nod. Of course I don't want to argue with Fariz. While he wants to get out of the room, at least build closeness with his in-laws, especially on umi Fardah.
