Mother To Anissa

Adam's Regret

Ardina runs in a hurry when she hears Adam coming back into the house and looking for his car keys, followed by Anissa who is confused why everyone in the house looks panicked.

"Where is Dad going?".

Adam walked over to Anissa, and then he gave a glimpse of Anissa's puffed cheeks."Anissa's at home, yeah, I'm leaving for a minute". 

"Auntie Zara?". Anissa looked back and forth looking for Zara's whereabouts.

Ardina aligns her height with Anissa's height, "Tante Zara's gone home, Nuril's grandmother called".

Anissa pursed her lips, "Why not say goodbye to Anissa". His eyes glazed over, looking at Adam and Ardina in turn.

"Just like Grandpa, we're buying a new toy". Hadi's voice interrupted, then he held Anissa

Anissa shook her head, "No way".  

"Toys and Ice cream". Persuade him again

Anissa nodded in spirit.

Adam breathed a sigh of relief to see Anissa willing to follow his feet invitation, otherwise he would not be until tomorrow morning. He could not stop thinking about the influence of Zara in the daily life of Anissa, the small things they did together made Anissa happy. He was afraid that if Alfath knew how bad and selfish he was towards Zara then he would not hesitate to say no blessing to them both. Not to mention Zara's parents.

"I'm leaving,Assalamualaikum".

With his parents, Adam ran to his car. Quickly running his car, Adam can only beg and pray that he can quickly find Zara.

As the car continues to go, Adam tries to contact Zara via phone, but only the operator's answer is heard. Adam's car continued to drive slowly, until he found Zara sitting at a stop in the area of the housing complex.

Adam got out of his car, then walked over to Zara who was now sitting down. Zara, who knew Adam's whereabouts, looked up. Bead their eyes meet each other, Zara just stared blankly at Adam, Adam's heart was sliced to see Zara's eyes reddened. He regretted his selfishness in making Zara cry.

Adam took a sitting position on Zara's right, "Why hasn't his phone answered?".

Zara looked a little right and then looked back to the front, "Lowbat". Answer's short.

"Za I'm sorry". Adam breathes heavily, "Let me drive home".

"My name is chidish, right?". Zara asked with a foresight.

Adam frowned, "No, if I was in your position maybe I'd do more".

Zara nodded, "Why don't you believe what I'm saying?". Zara stared at Adam, "I also had a hard time, I was confused one side you forbid me but on the other side Anissa also needed her mother's affection".  Zara brushed away her tears, then smiled wryly."I'm just a stranger among them, I'm just a stranger who suddenly comes in their midst". 

"Sorry Zara I'm selfish, by blaming you". Adam holds both of Zara's shoulders, "Look at me Za!".

"Gear me Zara!".

With a little emphasis, Zara finally looked at Adam's bead.

"Listen I'm sorry, don't be like this Za. For the thing about Della's confession to want to get back married to me, I never thought that far Za". Adam wiped away Zara's tears, "You're only Azara Princess Haydar, who will stand by me".

Zara put away Adam's hand that was still on his shoulder, "I want to go home".

"All right, I'll deliver". Adam stand.

"I'll just take a taxi". Said Zara lazily, who also stood up from her seat.

Adam frowned not understanding, then Zara went to step her foot. Adam sighed heavily Zara who likes to snack already back he shook his head and chuckled amusedly considering how often Zara was crabbing for no apparent reason to him.

"Za!, get in the car by myself or am I forced to drag?". Threaten Adam to Zara.

Zara did not care about Adam's threat, she walked along the sidewalk followed by Adam who drove the car slowly following Zara's steps.

Zara stopped cross-sectioning and then turned her head."Don't follow me on, I want to be alone". Annoyed annoyed.

Adam get out of his car, "Okey what do you want?".

Zara pouted, actually she was not angry at Adam but a little nosy at him is not a pleasant thing. "I want to go for a walk with Anissa".

"Where are you?".

Zara's eyes were quoted as saying, "You're coming ?".

"of course". Adam answered sure

Zara shook her head quickly "No, not just me and Anissa. Not with you".

"Why?". Adam frowned."I'm father".  

"Quality time is for women only". Zara replied as if she had opened the passenger door and got into the car leaving Adam still digesting Zara's words.

Zara giggled at Adam, whom she managed to work on.
