Marriage Line Husband

Part 18: The offer to remarry

...Want you as good as anything will not change someone's hatred for you. ...

Liza further tightened her embrace on Fariz. While the man was silently pecking felt the warm embrace of his wife.

"Don't leave me, I promise I'll forget. But don't go!" Liza cried sobbing that Fariz could feel her wet back exposed to the tears of her wife.

Fariz closed his eyes for a moment and turned towards Liza. The woman looked up at her husband with tear-filled eyes. The tiny lips were tightly closed dampening the sound of sobbing.

Fariz's outstretched hand rubbed the melted tears from the corner of Liza's eye.

"Don't go.." he said hoarsely. Liza again hugged Fariz, clutching the warm body.

The man returned the wife's embrace tighter.

"Mas, will never leave you, Liza. But, please respect Mas as your husband by not presenting another man in your heart" he said without letting go of his embrace at the sobbing Liza.

Fariz outlined her embrace and kissed Liza's forehead briefly.

"I-I'll keep all Danu's gold stuff in the warehouse. To make Mas Fariz more comfortable."

Liza took a large bag next to the closet and stuffed all of Danu's belongings into the bag. Including a picture of her late husband Fariz just throwing into a garbage bin. He glanced at Fariz who kept watching him. And with a heavy heart he put the photo in there.

"I love you Danu, but I don't want to make Mas Fariz angry" Liza murmured.

"Why are you two?" ask Sharifah after arranging an empty plate on a table full of several dishes of food.

Fariz and Liza looked at each other hearing that.

"There's no reason, Mother," replied Liza after sitting down in a chair near the dining table. This includes Fariz, who is now sitting next to his wife.

Muhsin shook his shoulders as Sharifah looked at him. The middle-aged woman looked back at the child and her son-in-law who were both silent.

"Liza..."

"Pick up food for Fariz," Sharifah's decree handed him an empty plate which was immediately welcomed by Liza.

"If there is a problem, solve it with a cool head and a calm heart," Muhsin said, opening her voice, making the young couple look at the middle-aged man.

"Don't talk about it while we're eating, Dad," Sharifah rebuked, disliking her husband's remarks that made her son and daughter-in-law even more awkward.

"More take his side dish, Liz," Sharifah's edict taken by Liza.

"After this you go straight home?" muhsin looked at the two in turn.

Fariz nodded."Yes, Dad. Because it's been quite a night. So, after eating we both went straight home."

Sharifah glanced at a glance at the wall clock that showed 21:00 p.m." Mommy thinks you're gonna stay here."

"Next time, Mother. Unpleasant with umi and abah, afraid they were waiting for us both to come home," Liza replied after putting food in her mouth.

Sharifah just bearded hearing Liza's answer.

Everyone at the dining table seemed to be calmly enjoying their meal. Only the sound of the clanking of spoons and forks airs in the room. The rest, after they finished their dinner, had a light chat in the living room before Liza and Fariz returned to Hasan's house.

"You're finally home, Riz. From earlier Aisyah was waiting for you," said Umi Fardah deliberately raised her voice.

"Who's the fuck, Mi?" ask Liza curious.

However, the middle-aged woman did not ponder her son-in-law's question. He immediately pulled Fariz's hand to enter the house immediately, and left Liza who was silent in place staring at the departure of the two.

"Aisha, look. Fariz has come." Umi Fardah smiled broadly as the two men exchanged glances, making Umi Fardah hope big.

"Fariz..." Aisha got up from her seat. He stepped closer to the man who was still focused on staring at him.

"Aisha has been waiting for you for so long. Lucky he hasn't come home." Umi Fardah drew Fariz's hand closer to Aisyah.

Aisyah bowed with a timid smile. A man he hadn't seen in a long time. And now Fariz looks more handsome and dashing.

"Aisha is not married, Riz. Don't you want to make her a wife?" the whisper of Umi Fardah made Fariz surprised by what the middle-aged woman said.

"I already have a wife, Umi!" reply Fariz firmly. And it seems clear that the man rejected the proposal of Umi Fardah.

"Here, come with Umi..." Umi Fardah pulled Fariz away from Aisyah. So that the girl does not hear what the two of them are talking about.

"Listen, Aisyah is a very suitable and perfect woman to be your wife. She's the son of a distinguished family in this village and also a kind and very beautiful woman," umi Fardah praised Aisyah as if Fariz would be devastated with all the kindness and advantages that the girl had.

Not far from Fariz and Umi Fardah standing now, Liza stood still and felt pain in her heart to hear the words of umi Fardah.

"Liza..."

Fariz's voice made Liza realize from the daydream that took a few seconds of her consciousness. The woman looked at the husband who stepped closer to her with a face that looked anxious. While Liza immediately retreated with a feeling of unworthiness.

Umi Fardah snorted looking at Liza.

"Darling..." Fariz was about to reach the hand of his wife, but was immediately brushed aside violently by Liza.

There was no sound coming from Liza's lips. Only the tears rolled free from the corner of the veiled woman's eyes. Her world seemed to collapse when her in-laws offered a woman to her husband. Is that what Umi Fardah hates him? Was he the one who did not deserve Fariz?

Liza held onto her head that felt dizzy and slowly the darkness snatched away her consciousness.

"Liza!" Fariz reached for the wife's body which was almost dazed to the floor." Liza...!" Fariz patted the woman's cheek hoping Liza would respond.

Panicked and worried about feeling Fariz now. He immediately carried Liza's frail body and immediately brought her to the room.

Umi Fardah following her son.

Either Liza was indeed completely unconscious or just a mere lie that the woman created, umi Fardah thought.

"Umi, please call Agni's doctor," asked Fariz while laying Liza on the bed.

"He just fainted. No need to call a doctor. You're overreacting."

Fariz stared angrily at umi Fardah who looked unconcerned with his wife.

"Umi why is it like this? Seemed not to care about Liza?"

"You don't have to ask why Umi doesn't like Liza. For sure this woman has not been able to give you a child. Isn't that a handicap?"

"We've only been married for two months!" fariz's snapping left Umi Fardah shocked by the clash her son gave her.

"You're starting to dare yell at Umi, Fariz!"
