Marriage Line Husband

Part 20: Speech brings disaster

...Keep doing good even if not everyone appreciates what you are doing. Every action done will be rewarded. ...

"Where are you going?" Umi Fardah looked at Fariz and Liza who looked neat with the clothes they were wearing.

"I want to take Liza to Danu's grave, Mi. Three more days we'll both be back in town so want to make a pilgrimage there," Fariz replied glancing at Liza who showed her sparkling gaze and a thin smile from behind her veil.

"Umi does not forbid. But, what are you going to do there. And you, Liza, are married to Fariz but still remember your first husband!"

Liza retreated her steps and now stood behind Fariz. She clasped her husband's hand as if channeling the feelings she felt after hearing the words of Umi Fardah which were quite sharp and so scraping in her mind.

"Umi.., don't talk like that. I don't mind Liza going to the grave of her first husband, because the man was once part of Liza's life," Fariz replied straightening out that umi Fardah was not getting any more cornering on her.

"As far as you are!" The middle-aged woman snorted and got up from her seat leaving the two people standing in the living room.

"Yes..." Liza looked up at Fariz after Umi Fardah completely disappeared from behind the kitchen wall.

"It's okay, honey. Umi is like that and may you be at home as her daughter-in-law," Fariz chuckled softly with the joke he uttered.

Liza nodded with a smile.

"Let's go." Fariz gently pulled Liza's tiny hand, herding her out of the house.

"Young people today are increasingly difficult to manage," grumbled Umi Fardah when she saw the departure of Fariz and Liza from the kitchen window.

"Umi, why?"

"Astagfirullah, Asty!" Umi Fardah screamed in shock as Asty, her youngest daughter was already standing next to her.

"It's okay. Next time don't surprise Umi. You are a habit!" angry Umi Fardah looked at Asty who only smiled widely.

"When do you come home, Mi?" asty asked who was focusing his gaze on umi Fardah who was busy removing vegetables from the refrigerator.

"Tomorrow."

"Assyc! I'd like to have a lot of souvenirs with abah." Asty looked screeching in excitement. Umi Fardah just shook her head at her daughter's level.

"Hopefully my daughter's fate is not like Liza's, '" murmured umi Fardah inwardly.

"You don't get too close Ihsan, " said

"Be careful, dear."

fariz said when Liza got off the bike after arriving at the public cemetery in the village. Liza's feelings immediately churned with haru when she set foot into a place she hadn't been in for more than two months.

"Mas, just wait here. Let me go to the tomb of Danu mas," said Liza who was immediately rejected Fariz.

"No, Liza. I want to accompany you."

"I beg you, Mas. I want to be alone." Liza stared pleadingly at Fariz who eventually relented seeing Liza's scrawny face.

The man looked at Liza who was stepping her feet away from him. The woman walked toward the tomb not far from where she now stands.

"Mas Danu's. Sorry Liza hasn't been here in a long time..." Liza's eyes immediately glazed over and her chest felt tight. Moreover, the condition of his first husband's grave overgrown with weeds and unkempt.

Fariz was still faithfully standing outside the funeral fence. Highlight his eyes can not be separated from Liza who was seen plucking the weeds at the meal.

Longs. The right words describe Liza's current feelings. She misses her first husband even though Fariz is by her side. It is very difficult to forget someone who has long settled in the heart and become the first love.

"Now you don't have to worry, Mom. I'm happy and safe with Mas Fariz. Maybe our meeting is just a carving up of good memories that eventually part. I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise to always be loyal to you." Liza wiped away the tears that were about to drip from the corner of her eyes.

He thought he would remain faithful and love Danu until the end of his life. But it was wrong, God had other plans and ultimately united himself with Fariz through the path of matchmaking. However, he remains happy because he again feels in love a second time and feels the attention of someone who considers himself the most important part of a Fariz.

"It's..."

A sheet of tissue proffered made Liza look up at Fariz who was now standing next to her. He hesitantly picked up the thin item and rubbed the corner of his eye.

"Don't cry too much" said Fariz, who was crouching next to Liza.

The man brushed off the jealousy that was slowly creeping in his heart. Seeing Liza crying over another man had already made that spark of jealousy appear uncontrollable.

"I'm not crying, just sad" elak Liza denied her husband's words.

"Just the same, honey."

"Don't call me that." Liza doesn't seem to like the calls that men put on her.

Fariz understood his wife's intentions.

"Have you done?"

Liza shakes. Fariz smiled faintly.

"Send Danu a do'a so he can calm down there" said Fariz, who then turned his eyes to the ceramics that encased the tomb.

Liza was silent for a moment staring fixedly at Fariz who began to pray. A smile was created from her thin lips.

Aisyah who was walking down the street immediately stopped her footsteps when her brown netra accidentally caught the figure of Fariz who was sitting on a motorcycle, like waiting for someone.

"Mas Fariz.." muttered Aisyah staring at the twinkle on the man. With a heart that seemed happy he immediately stepped his foot toward Fariz.

"What is Mas Fariz doing here?" aisyah asked as she stood near Fariz who looked surprised by the presence of the woman.

"Waiting for Liza," replied Fariz as he was and looked back at the wife who was ordering ice boba which some days many in the care of small children including adults.

Aisyah was just a mangosteen hearing the man's answer. His eyes stared fixedly at Fariz who was now wearing only a thin black t-shirt and gray trending pants. The man was very handsome plus a thin mustache that made Aisyah even more anxious to see him.

"Mas Fariz why would you marry Liza?"

Aisyah's question was not in the center of Fariz who was still focused on staring at Liza who was sitting in line at the store. The woman looked grunted with Fariz's indifferent attitude.

"When Liza's a widow, a former person!" Aisyah bluntly said it made Fariz instantly give a sharp glint that implied anger at the woman
