Faza holding Zahra's hand led him into the residence of his parents. Although worry continued to eat away at his heart, Faza still tried to calm down.
“Aden...”
Faza and Zahra stopped their steps when they reached the guest room. They both smiled when they found the aunt who was wiping the glass table in the middle of the sofa.
“Eh bi.. How is bi?” Zahra's smile greeted kindly.
“My news is good miss.. Miss herself how is she? It feels like a long time yes lady we did not meet.”
Aunty got up from her crouching then approached Zahra and Faza.
“As aunt see. My news is good. Even very well.” Reply Zahra.
“Thank God then, miss.. Den Fahri is already big.. So fat.”
Zahra laughed at hearing that. Fahri is very tall. The toddler was even like a 6-month-old toddler when he was 2 months old.
“Emm bi, mamah is there?” Ask Faza then.
“There's.. Madam is being treated beside her wealth. What do I need to call?”
“Oh no bi. No need. I call myself.” Faza replied smiling.
“Darling me to mamah yah.. You're the same aunt first.” Faza said very gently to Zahra.
“Oh okay mas.” Nod Zahra replied.
“Bi, titip well.”
“You what the hell mas. I'm not a child also wear titipin titipin all.” Zahra's laughter felt funny about her husband's behavior.
Aunt laughed when she heard it. The woman was very pleased with Zahra's arrival. And after Faza passed, aunt immediately offered Zahra a drink.
“Orange its rich juice seger bi.” Zahra's smile on aunt.
“Good miss.. Auntie make it immediately. Wait a minute.”
Zahra nodded her head. After the aunt passed, Zahra also occupied himself in a sofa. Zahra also put Fahri's stocky body on the sofa because he felt sore in his arms for too long holding Fahri.

“Mamah..”.
Sinta was cutting the withered leaves of the flower as Faza called out to her.
Sinta turned her head and smiled when she found her eldest son standing behind her.
“Faza.” He muttered then immediately removed the scissors he was holding placing it beside the flower pot he was tidying up.
Sinta directly approached Faza and hugged him tightly. Sinta really misses her first son very much.
After releasing his embrace on Faza, Faza also crucified his mama.
“Mana Fahri?” Ask Sinta with an enthusiastic face.
“Fahri is in front of mah, same Zahra.”
Sinta's expression instantly changed as Faza called out Zahra's name. Sinta felt like she was not telling Faza to invite Zahra along. Sinta just told Faza to take Fahri, his grandson.
“Mamah nobody said that you invite Zahra also loh Za.”
“You know I can't take Fahri without Zahra. They are two important to me.. And wherever I am there must also be Zahra and Fahri.”
Sinta.
“You really love that girl so much, son? Until you ignore your feelings?”
Faza narrowed his eyes staring unexpectedly at his mama. Faza did not understand his path of mind. Faza always tried to give in and was silent even when Sinta denounced his wife, Zahra. But Sinta never appreciated the Faza residence.
“Mamah this woman who gave birth to you son.. Mama is nursing you. Your mother takes care of you with great affection. Mom who always makes sure everything is best for you.”
Faza laughed softly hearing that. Faza was not a person with no mind. Faza knows all that too. Faza was aware that he could not exist in this world without the sacrifice of his mother.
“I know it mah.. I know Mamah is the only woman willing to bet my life for me. But I ask you to please, please respect my decision. Appreciate my choices.. I'm a grown-up mah. I know what is good and what is bad. And Zahra, she's a good woman and I love her very much. Please mama understand.”
Sinta looked at Faza who was glaring at her. Sinta doesn't know what the real Zahra is. But the degree of Zahra that is only ordinary people makes Sinta always look at Zahra as a woman who is not good. Coupled with Faza who used to lie for the sake of Zahra. That adds to Sinta's growing dislike of Zahra.
“You changed after getting to know Zahra son. You used to be very obedient and obedient. But after you know Zahra you often lie equally mama. Mamah feels the loss of a good and honest mamah child.”
“If I'm honest, do you want to receive Zahra from the beginning? Don't you? Mamah even kicked Zahra out when Zahra wanted to visit me who was sick. Mamah caci maki Zahra, mamah hina Zahra until Zahra intends to leave me first.. Mama remembers, doesn't she? Fadly's suave classmate is kicked out with a rude remark because Zahra is only an orphan and poor boy?”
Both of Faza's eyes were glazed as he said that. The longing for the mother immediately turned into a sense of disappointment because of what Sinta said. Faza could no longer accept all of Sinta's treatment of Zahra.
Sinta silence. The woman continued to stare at Faza who was trying to hold back the cries in front of her.
“Mah.. All this time I was always silent even though my mother always put Zahra in front of me. That doesn't mean I don't care about Zahra. But because I try to be patient and appreciate you. Because I love you the same mom.. I always try to hold back. I don't want to be a bad boy. Mah, I love Zahra. I love Zahra very much. Please mama understand.”
“From the beginning also you already know son, mamah never agreed to your relationship with the woman.”
“Zahra mah's. Her name is Aulia Zahra.”
Sinta. The woman did not even seem to be willing to name the woman who was loved so much by her eldest son.
“If you bring him here too, you better just go home Faza.” Sinta said slowly.
Faza shook his head in unexpected thought. His attitude never changed even though there was Fahri.
“OK if that's what you want. I came home mah.”
Faza sighed. Faza shook his head softly as Sinta who was instead moaning and did not intend to prevent his departure. Once again Faza felt disappointed and hurt because of what he said.
Faza passed leaving Sinta who was just silent and threw away her face. The man shed his tears as he entered the house. However Faza hurriedly rubbed his cheeks that were wet with tears. Faza did not want Zahra to know that she was crying because she was arguing with her mother.
Once in the guest room, Faza found Zahra who was about to drink juice with an aunt who was next to him. But Zahra pitched him as soon as he saw Faza coming back to him.
“Mas.” Zahra Smile.
Faza smiled faintly then grabbed Fahri's body which Zahra put on the sofa.
“We go home now darling.” Said.
Zahra frowned confused at what Faza had said. They had just come but Faza had already brought her home.
“Loh mas but.”
“Come..” Sela Faza grabbed Zahra's soft hand.
Nor would Zahra rise from her seat. Zahra followed Faza who was holding her and led her out of the residence of her parents in silence.
The aunt who witnessed it just kept quiet with a full of questions that terbesit in her mind.
