MARRIED

S2 - Memories

Happy reading 😊

"So... Are you really getting married?" nadine asked during a meeting that afternoon in Rayyan's room.

After their meeting was over, Nadine asked Alex and Meta to leave the room first. Nadine certainly needs privacy to talk to her ex-boyfriend. His heart had not been completely willing to let Rayyan off just like that, especially after their long separation.

During this time, Nadine was so sure that Rayyan still could not turn away from her. Evidently with Rayyan who has never been in a relationship with other women after their breakup during High School first.

"As you know, our marriage is only a matter of days away. So can I make sure I am indeed going to marry Zahra." Rayyan replied casually while looking at the file in her hand.

"Rayyan. Even we used to approach almost a year, Rayyan. And now-"

"I told you not to compare my wedding plans to our relationship!" Rayyan raised her tone while looking at Nadine sharply. A flash of anger emanated from the eyes of Rayyan who again did not accept Nadine continued to bring up their past.

"Enough, Nadine. You should also immediately find a partner and get married."

"But it's not that easy, Rayyan. I know that our breakup was not on your will, and you haven't dated for a long time because you can't forget me, right?"

Rayyan smiled cynically, then placed the original document file beside her seat. "I knew you'd be that confident. But in fact everything is wrong, all your allegations about me are wrong. All this time it wasn't because I couldn't forget you, but I was just trying to select the right people to be with me, aging with me to the end of my life, while I made sure Eowyn was okay."

Rayyan smirked as she stared at the shocked face of Nadine who was still staring at her.

"But Zahra is Eowyn's friend, she's even more suited to be your sister than your wife, Rayyan." Nadine said with a tremble. He is still trying to maintain his desire to return with Rayyan left behind.

Rayyan laughed at the absurd reason expressed by Nadine. "Is there an age requirement for couples who are getting married? Then, did you forget that my father and my mother were at odds at eight? But they can get married and be happy with their little family."

No more words could come out of Nadine's lips. With tears welled up in her eyes, Nadine immediately drained her bag and rushed out of Rayyan's room. By slamming the door, like the incident already.

The wedding is still a few days away, and Rayyan is still busying herself with office work before her sabbatical. Since Zahra was no longer working with him, the tiredness was more pronounced for Rayyan. Plus the pingitan tradition that makes Rayyan miss her lover so much.

Like the previous nights, Rayyan and Zahra always spent quite a long time on the phone. Letting go of longing and exchanging stories about their daily lives that some days they go through each.

The knock on the door sounded after finishing the phone call with Zahra. Rayyan who had originally laid her body on the mattress, now turned to sitting cross-legged. The door opened and showed the figure of the mother there.

"Would you sleep?" mama Salma asked as she closed the door to Rayyan's room.

"Not yet, ma." Rayyan shifted her seat to the edge of the bed, before finally the mother sat next to her.

"Mama can't sleep." mama Salma sighed, then clasped Rayyan's left hand and patted her on the back.

"In a few days you're getting married, but you still can't believe that your son is this big and will have a wife."

Although that smile accompanied every word that mama Salma said, but her own eyes could not hide the feelings of her heart.

"Rayyan is this big, ma. And in a few days it will officially be a husband. Mama does not need to worry about Rayyan, Rayyan will always try to be a good husband, loving and responsible. Like Papa."

"After you get married later, mom can't wake you up every morning dong? It's funny if you fit here, keep mama in your room ehh it turns out you are still sleeping while hugging, even mama disturbin told to wake up."

"Rayyan will definitely miss being built with mom. But, later there will be Zahra who changed mama to wakein Rayyan. He is also as chatty as mama, surely he will also nag if Rayyan again difficult to build."

The two throw smiles at each other. Later it is not only Salma who misses her morning routine to wake Rayyan, but Rayyan too. Especially with his habit of leaning his head on his shoulder when he just woke up, then his mother would rub his hair while listening to the mother's nagging about the potency of that one.

Until finally Rayyan leaned her head on the mother's shoulder while hugging her. "Rayyan will be spoiled even though Rayyan has a wife. Mama doesn't mind, does she?"

"You mind if you ask for a sling."

"Hahahaha. If now there's Rayyan who's carrying mama."

Salma rubbed Rayyan's hair like she used to. I don't know why that night felt so sad for Salma. Releasing Rayyan who is getting married does make him happy, even so far he is the one who is so enthusiastic to prepare everything. But when his memories of Rayyan's childhood are repeated, his heart feels so heavy to take off Rayyan who will move to his own home. The house was not far from the house they were living in.

"Sleep, mama will go back to the room" Salma said as she gently patted Rayyan on the back.

"Mama didn't sleep here? Rayyan still wants to be spoiled by mom." Rayyan flicked her lips as if she was sulking.

"Same as papa. If papa is okay, mama will sleep here." challenge Salma while pinching the golden cheek of her firstborn.

"Hahahaha. if that should be the procedure, Rayyan deh ma. Could hit papa ntar because of the rebuttonment of his life papa."
