PASUTRI (On Love & Happiness)

CHAPTER 1

“How are the witnesses? Valid?”

“Sah !!” Respond simultaneously to witnesses who were deliberately invited to attend the simple sacred event.

While the bride and groom seemed to smile happily after successfully swearing before God, the ruler, as well as the witnesses present. But in the midst of happiness there was a sense of doubt in Zahra's heart because the marriage they both held was not attended by both parents Faza, a man who had just been her husband.

“Mas..”.

“Zahra, it's our happy day. Please don't discuss anything first okay?”

Zahra immediately huffed. If not for fear of losing Faza, maybe Zahra would not want to marry quietly like that.

The sacred event took place lively even though the invited guests were only from close neighbors only. But it does not reduce the happiness in the heart of Faza as well as Zahra.

“So I don't want to know Faza, as soon as you have to tell your family about this wedding. Brother does not want if Zahra becomes a victim.” Said Aris, Zahra's brother.

Aris and Zahra are two brothers who have lived together since childhood. Both of his parents died in an accident. While his relatives, everything is far away in the yard.

“Sister need not worry. I'll definitely tell mama the same papah. But not before for now. I'll find the right moment.” Reply Faza calmly.

As for Zahra, she was silent. Zahra was happy because finally her status and Faza was clear. But Zahra was also hesitant considering the two old men of Faza who never liked her in the least.

“Ya already then. But remember Faza, brother will not hesitate to hit you if Zahra gets hurt.”

“I guarantee Zahra will always smile kak.” Faza smiled casually to reply to the passionate speech of Aris, the brother-in-law.

Aris glanced at her mere puppet sister who was still wearing her white kebaya. Aris didn't mean to ruin her sister's happy day. Aris is only worried about being annoyed at Faza who has lied to her by saying both of her parents will come after Aris to be a guardian for Zahra.

“Originally you know Faza, something that starts with a lie is not going to be good in the end. But remember, if until my sister suffers you're the only person I'll look for.”

Faza's expression instantly changed. Aris' words this time were true about his heart and his feelings.

“Ra, sister go home first.”

Zahra got up from his seat on the sofa and approached Aris. Zahra crucified Aris whom she had great respect for. Aris is the only family Zahra has had since her parents died.

“Braught heart. Greetings to nadia and dede Arka.” Zahra smiled.

“Yes.. You are good with your husband. Brother will often come here to jengukin you.”

Faza looked up at what Aris had told Zahra. Faza felt Aris did not believe him about Zahra.

Faza stepped towards his bridal room and Zahra. Faza realizes what he did by lying to Aris wrong. But Faza also could not if he had to lose Zahra. Faza wants to give a clear status to Zahra who has been dating since graduating high school.

Faza sat himself on the bed. His gaze swept through the corners of the room that had been decorated so beautifully with red rose petals scattered on the floor as well as clean white sheets of his wedding bed and Zahra.

Faza smiled. Faza forgets what Aris told him a few minutes ago as soon as he imagines his wonderful future with Zahra. Faza thought the two of them would soon be blessed by God like a married couple in general.

“Mas want to shower now?”

Faza's daydreams collapsed instantly as Zahra's voice entered his sense of hearing. Faza turned his head towards the door and smiled as he patted the place quietly beside him telling Zahra to sit beside him.

Zahra, who understood Faza's intentions, approached and sat down right next to her husband.

“Aulia Zahra, now you are truly mine.”

Faza grabbed Zahra's hand, grasping it softly as if reassuring that they would always be together under any circumstances.

Zahra stared at his hand that Faza was holding. His smile expanded to look at the ring that was coiled in the sweet finger as well as Faza. The 2 gram ring that marks the binding of their legitimate relationship.

Zahra then looked at Faza's handsome face. It feels like a dream. Her 2nd grade sister was now truly her husband.

“Hem.” Saut Faza raised Zahra's hand which he grasped then kissed her at a glance.

“Tomorrow morning we go to the tomb of the same father mother well.. I want to tell them that now the girl is married.”

Faza raised next to his brows.

“Girl?” He looked at Zahra.

Zahra nodded with a sweet smile engraved on her lips. Kebaya white bride bones are still attached perfectly in her slim body. Even the makeup on his head was still firmly and neatly.

“What are you sure after tonight you are still a girl hem?”

Zahra's cheeks instantly blushed at the question with a seductive tone coming out from Faza's thin lips. This was indeed not the first time Faza had teased him. But his situation is different now. If Zahra used to be able to cheat while still dating if Faza teased her. But now, they were married even sitting together on the bed. And Faza's temptation was right about Zahra's shame.

“Apaan the hell you are. Not funny tau.”

The embarrassed Zahra intended to rise, but Faza did not allow Zahra to leave him. Faza continued to hold Zahra's small hand.

“I'm not being funny. I'm serious Zahra.”

Zahra bit her lower lip. Imagining himself struggling in bed with Faza tonight embarrassed him. Zahra was aware of her status now. Zahra also realized that it was her duty to serve Faza.

“Eem.. I take a shower first. My body is sticky and smelly.” Zahra tried to buy time by reasoning to take a bath.

Faza who heard that laughed. The man who was still complete with his black suit then released Zahra's hand in his hand. Faza understood Zahra might be embarrassed and nervous. And Faza did not want to suppress his cute wife.

“Good.. I'll wait here.” He said before Zahra walked out of their room.

After Zahra came out of the room, Faza laid his body on the bed. Faza was already very impatient to go through his beautiful night with Zahra tonight.

“Mas Faza !!”

Zahra's shout from the direction of the bathroom made Faza instantly rise from his recline. Worried that something bad happened to Zahra, Faza rushed after Zahra to the bathroom that was beside Zahra's kitchen.

“What's Zahra?” Faza asked as soon as he got to the bathroom door.

Silent

Zahra was silent from inside the bathroom with both eyes closed.

“Zahra, you don't papa right?” Faza again asked in a worried tone.

Zahra bit her lower lip. Faza would have been very disappointed if he knew he had a monthly guest tonight.

“I'm not papa mas.” Answer Zahra slowly.

Zahra could clearly hear Faza breathing. Zahra was sure Faza must have been worried because of the call.

”Mas can you please get me a taped sanitary pad?” Ask Zahra heart.

Faza frowned confusedly.

“Boarder?” Ask to repeat the name of the item that is being desired by his wife.

“I mens mas.”

Instantly the beautiful shadow of Faza tonight disappeared at that very moment. Zahra gets her monthly guests which means the two of them can't do the first night.
