PASUTRI (On Love & Happiness)

CHAPTER 240

After breakfast, Faza invites Zahra to walk around on foot. They also brought Fahri who was put by a baby stroller with Faza who pushed him.

“A long time ago well we do not walk this way dear. The last time we walk fitting you pregnant 8 or 7 months deh.”

Zahra laughed at hearing that. Of course they never walked alone again considering that Faza was always busy with his work.

“Oh yes dear.. After lunch we will make a pilgrimage to the tomb of the same father mother yuk? We all check the house.. Invite Mbak Lasmi also to be cleaned.”

Zahra looked silent. Last night when I called Aries said it was coming this afternoon. That means they both can't go anywhere.

“Eemmm.. His pilgrimage is next week. Brother Aries said he'd come by noon last night. He also sends greetings to you.”

“Oh yes?”

Faza smiled feeling happy. Aries sends Zahra greetings for her. That means Aries can accept it again like before.

“Yes, then. Next week aja.” Let's say Faza understands.

The two of them stepped back slowly with small talk. This morning has been the most memorable first week for Zahra and Faza. Because this is the first time they walk around the complex since Fahri was born into the world.

“Mas is not Fadly?” car

Zahra followed his wife when he heard what Zahra said. Faza nodded slowly.

“Yes.. That's Fadly's car. Maybe he wants to go home.”

Zahra nodded slowly. It is common for Fadly to visit on Sunday.

“We'd better go home now baby. Fadly must be home because he wants to play with Fahri.”

“Iya mas.” Reply Zahra according to it.

They both accelerated on their way home. Once at home both were surprised because it turns out Fadly did not come alone. There's Akbar Sinta there too.

Faza glanced at Zahra for a moment. Faza started to worry because of his mama presence. Faza was sure his maam would definitely put out a scathing word to his wife.

Zahra gave a clumsy smile then immediately yelled at Akbar who was greeted warmly by Akbar. But when Zahra reached out his hand to crucify Sinta, Zahra did not immediately get a reception. Sinta was silent with a careless look at him. Although Sinta finally received saliman from her first daughter-in-law.

“Zahra, happy birthday, son.. May you be healthy always, live a long life, and continue to be a good wife for Faza.” Akbar said that made Zahra shocked.

Zahra did not expect her father-in-law to know that yesterday was her birthday.

Understanding Zahra's shock, Akbar laughed.

“Fadly who told papah.” He said he gave an explanation.

Zahra looked at Fadly who was just smiling faintly. Zahra then laughed. Zahra's gratitude goes back to the creator because his life is surrounded by good people.

“Thanks a lot of reward.. Thanks Fadly.. And mama.. Thanks also.” Zahra's smile was sincere.

Faza smiled with pleasure because his papa was so good to his wife.

“Mamah doesn't feel like doing anything here. Mamah also did not say anything on the day that you think is an important day. So you don't have to thank me.” Sinta said arrogantly.

Zahra's smile did not fade at all. Akbar could melt and love him, why not Sinta? Zahra would continue to wait for that day to come where Sinta carved a sincere smile as she looked at him. Zahra knew God never sleeps. God always knows what is best for him.

Akbar who felt the tense atmosphere because of Faza's pent-up emotions also tried to divert the conversation.

“Ah yes Zahra, papah also have something for you. Papah apologized in advance because papah does not know what you like so papah bought it using advice from Fadly.” Akbar said with a soft laugh.

Fadly grimacing. Shame it feels because Fadly considers himself pretentious.

The cry of Fahri who was still in the baby stroller made all the attention diverted to him. Fadly and Akbar stare anxiously at the handsome baby who is being carried by Zahra by his dark baby stroller.

“Eem.. Pah, Ly once again thank you for everything huh.. Zahra comes in first to breastfeed Fahri.” Zahra said slowly and politely.

“Oh yes.. After Fahri suckles please give it to papah. Papah is very eager to carry it.” Akbar's smile with a slow nod of his head.

“Ya pah's.. Zahra excuse me.”

Sinta sighed softly by turning her eyes. Tired of seeing Zahra who he considered was just playing in front of his family.

Faza, the man was silent. Faza felt very unappreciated by his own mama now. Because with Sinta continuing to be cynical with Zahra it is the same as Sinta does not respect Faza's decision. Sinta did not respect what Faza had chosen. And Faza felt very disappointed even hurt by Sinta's treatment of his wife.

“Eem.. Faza how is your company developing?” Ask Akbar who is trying to melt the atmosphere.

Faza sighed then tried to smile amid his disappointment towards the mama. Faza did not want to be disappointed to burn his heart and mind so blind and hate the woman who had given birth to him.

“So far everything is well developed pah.” Answer Faza slowly.

As for Sinta, the woman was just silent. And when the husband and two sons began to dissolve with his chat, Sinta also rose from her seat in the guest room and entered unnoticed by Akbar and Fadly.

But Faza, the man looked at his mother who stepped inside silently. Immediately worry fell on Faza.

“Pah, Ly, a minute yes.. I'll go to the bathroom for a minute.” Said Faza reasoned then rose from his seat and followed Sinta.

While Sinta, the woman was just about to climb the stairs when she heard Fahri's voice. Sinta frowned then followed the direction of Fahri's voice.

Sinta smiled cynically when she found Zahra who was inviting her nursing son to chat in the living room. Slowly Sinta stepped closer and stood right behind Zahra.

“Do you feel winning now Zahra?”

Zahra's smile as she stared at Fahri slowly faded. Zahra sighed softly and then got up from her seat on the sofa and turned to face Sinta who stood by folding her hands under her chest so arrogantly.

“Zahra don't know what mama means.. But honestly Zahra is very happy with the arrival of papah, mama, also Fadly here.” Smile Zahra quietly.

Sinta smiled cynically.

“Of course you are happy. Gifts given papah also Fadly is not a cheap item.”

Zahra sighed softly. Convincing Sinta is not an easy thing.

“You may feel above the clouds now Zahra. But mama.. Until whenever you can't accept you. You will remain a stranger to mamah.” Sinta.

Zahra kept smiling. His heart was already immune to Sinta's attitude and behavior towards him. Therefore, Zahra still tried to calm down even though her heart really wanted to protest with what Sinta said.

From the front of the open door Faza heard everything. Both of his hands clenched tightly. Interacting with the two would only leave Faza confused. Silence is not a good way either.

“Faza is really disappointed with mamah.” Inner Faza shed tears omens of sadness, disappointment, emotions that were being mixed into one and squeezed his heart.
