NOT A PAYCHECK

115

Zara had just finished performing the dhuha prayer and teaching for a while after that now she was hugging the picture frame of her parents while many times He kissed because He missed both parents very much.

Zara was startled by the sound of knocking on her door, and Zara rushed to open the door, guessing who was coming,

Could it be Sean coming?

Zara hopefully opened the door of her house and had to be disappointed because not Sean who came but Ranti Mama-in-law.

"Unfortunately Mama..." Ranti immediately hugged Zara who was still wearing a mukena.

"Mama-mama..." Zara was surprised by the arrival of her Mama-in-law, she dropped to the side to see if there was Sean too or not but her Mama-in-law just came alone.

"Why did you know that Zara.... is here?" asked Zara when Ranti let go of her embrace.

"So yukk, Mama brought chicken porridge for breakfast both of us" said Ranti directly entered Zara's house and invited Zara to sit down.

"Zara took off Mukena first yes Ma."

Zara went back inside to remove the mucus and before long, Zara came back and brought a cup of warm tea and a plate to eat the porridge that Ranti brought.

Actually, Zara had breakfast earlier, why seeing the porridge that her in-laws prepared on the plate makes Zara hungry again.

"I think it's delicious Ma." said Zara as she received the plate from her in-laws.

"This is Mama's favorite porridge with Papa from the past is still dating," said Ranti made Zara smile considering the harmony of the household in-laws.

"Enak Ma.." praise Zara after tasting a mouthful of porridge.

"Yes, it still feels the same as it used to make the old days."

"Ajakin Papa nostalgic Ma.." Zara's tease made Ranti nod in agreement.

"Good idea, baby... Mama has not been with your father for a long time, you know your father is busy!" ranti's annoyance.

"Papa hard worker ya Ma."

"Yes, that's what made Mama fall in love with Papa." Ranti smiles considering her youth with her husband Anggara.

"Mama's wedding is also durable yes until now" praised Zara who compared her marriage to Sean is still corn-time but must be separated as it is today.

"But all that is passed is not easy, Mama Sama Papa was once in the lowest position but thankfully Mama and Papa can survive until now." clearly Ranti makes Zara down feeling insinuated with Ranti's words.

"Papa ever trapped the same people to go to prison, that time Mama was again pregnant Sean 3 months and Mama had to do all by herself without your Papa" said Ranti with teary eyes made Zara surprised, and she said, I can't imagine what her mother-in-law has been through.

"When your Papa was imprisoned, your former past came and volunteered to be with your Mama from wanting to leave your Papa, but Thank God Mama can maintain Mama's loyalty to your Papa until your Papa is found not guilty and out of prison" said Ranti who looks very relieved.

Zara was silent for a moment, listening to the story of her mother-in-law made her a little aware that what happened in her household was nothing compared to the struggle of her mother-in-law in the past.

What happens now is because Zara is too afraid if until something bad happens to her because of Sean, a fear that might not happen especially considering that Sean has now chosen him and loves him.

"I'm-I and Sean's..."

"No need to be forced if you don't want to tell a story, Mama's not here to ask you to come home and come back with Sean, Mama's not going to force anything. Mama just wants to accompany you because now you are Mama's responsibility" said Ranti who made Zara could not help but cry.

Zara finally ventured to embrace her mother-in-law, crying in her arms.

"Whatever your problem is with Sean, Mama will mediate for you."

"Thank you Ma. Thank you very much."

"You're a little fat now baby" said Ranti trying to tag Zara to stop crying.

"Yes Ma. The end of this end Zara's appetite increases."

Ranti looked in wonder at her daughter-in-law, "Don't you..." Ranti stopped her speech because she did not want Zara to increase the burden of her mind.

"Don't do what Ma?"

"No, what's wrong, baby."

"Mama want to go here?" zara asked as she looked at the large bag her mother-in-law was carrying.

"Well, is it okay for Mama to stay here for the next few days?"

Zara fell silent again, she was happy if her Mama-in-law accompanied her because she was in need of someone at this time but felt bad also because she wanted to however Mama-in-law had responsibilities in the city, responsibility to serve her husband.

"Zara is happy that Mama is here, but how is Papa there."

Ranti smiled, "Mama is here with permission from Papa so God willing there will be no problem dear."

Zara finally smiled, "Thank you Ma, love Zara."

"Ck, should love dong with this beloved daughter-in-law." Ranti again stroked Zara's shoulder.

After a day with his mother-in-law, at night they sleep separately because if both of Zara's bed will not fit also uncomfortable even though he used to sleep alone with Sean in that bed.

Zara, who could not close her eyes, woke up and leaned against the bed. He picked up his phone to check his phone notifications. Since the first run away from the house Zara was deliberately turning off her phone.

But because tonight she felt a very great longing with her husband, Zara finally ventured to live her mobile phone.

And sure enough, just activated there have been 200 messages from Sean as well as 300 missed calls during these few days.

Zara tears up after reading one by one a message from her husband that says if Sean misses her and apologizes for what happened also fears Sean if he has to lose Zara.

Sean also said that he would be a better husband for Zara.

"You've been good mas, you've been a very good husband.I was wrong for fear of my own prejudices." murmured Zara as she continued to cry.

It feels like at this time Zara wants to go home and hug her husband but there are still doubts about Zara on Sean, I don't know Zara herself was confused by what she felt.

Zara dialed someone's number and was quite relieved that the person immediately received his call,

"Miss needs something?" Ricky, the guy that Zara is currently calling and sounding panicked.

"No, I.. I just wanted to ask if Sean's okay?"

There was a sigh of relief from Ricky, "It's not very good Miss because since Miss left, you rarely eat."

Degs... Zara was shocked, shocked to hear Ricky's confession.

How could she here eat quietly and a lot of portions while there her husband tormented to not eat.

Seriate....
