PASUTRI (On Love & Happiness)

CHAPTER 3

This morning Faza drove Zahra to the restaurant where Zahra worked. Not willing to actually let Zahra work on their new day together. But Faza knows and memorizes how Zahra. Faza did not want to make trouble on his own relationship so preferred to follow what Zahra wanted this time.

“Mas you're not home? I've been nyampe from earlier.”

Zahra laughed at her own confusion because Faza continued to sit casually on his big motorbike when they had reached the front of the restaurant even Zahra had also crucified him.

“I'm home alone too right?”

Zahra.

“Terus?”

“Yes I want to come in. I'll wait for you until you're done.” Faza replied casually.

Zahra gawked at it. How could Faza come in and wait for him all day work. It's gonna feel really weird. Maybe even all his friends will laugh at him.

“Mas but right.”

“But what is it? You are afraid of being caught flirtatious with guests here?”

Both of Zahra's eyes glared at Faza's interlude. Faza is indeed a very jealous man. It was not uncommon for them to quarrel if Faza had already started to be suspicious of his excessive jealousy.

“What did you say? I'm not so..”

Faza laughed at Zahra's annoyed expression.

“Handering. I believe my wife is a faithful man.”

Zahra clucking.

“Not funny his joke.”

Faza laughed amusedly. The man thought maybe because Zahra was getting her monthly guests so it was very irritable and offended.

“Already, I want to work. It's up to you to wait here or go home.”

Zahra passed away from Faza by stomping her legs as she stepped. Faza who saw him laughed amusedly because of his wife's adorable behavior when he was angry.

When Faza was about to get off his bike arrived the phone in the pocket of his black jeans rang. The tall handsome man immediately reached into the pocket of his trousers took out that flat object.

Faza was silent when he found the name of the mama on his cellphone screen. Faza knows his mom must be very worried now because he has not returned home for two days.

Faza took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. Mamah and her papa did not know about her marriage to Zahra, as well as her sister Fadly. Faza deliberately hid him from his family because his parents never agreed with his relationship and Zahra. Even his parents intend to match him with a woman that Faza has never known. His mother said the woman was the son of his playmate when he was young.

Faza's phone kept ringing despite Faza's silence. Many times until finally Faza decided to lift it.

“Yes Lord Faza ! Where are you, son? Why not go home?”

Faza closed his eyes not knowing what to answer. Faza had no intention of lying to his parents. But Faza also did not want to be matched. Faza only loves Zahra.

“Halo mah.”

“Where are you? home now.”

His mama's voice was so very firm that Faza did not know what to say. Faza knows that sooner or later his parents will know about his and Zahra's marriage. Faza is intent on being honest and bringing Zahra to his parents. But in the near future. Faza felt he had to think about everything carefully first considering his parents who were very opposed to his relationship with Zahra, especially the mama, Sinta.

“Mah Faza..”

“If you do not go home mommy will follow you to the place of the woman. You know you must be there Faza.” Sela Sinta loudly.

Faza clucked then turned off his phone connection. His mother always would not listen to his reasons. Their faza the mama considered him like a puppet that can be arranged everything according to the will of the mama herself.

One incoming notification made Faza immediately check it. It was a message from Sinta that contained a threat where Zahra's name was dragged inside.

Once again Faza clucked. The man then got off his bike and entered the restaurant where Zahra worked. Faza will really wait for Zahra to finish working today.

-------

“Ciee.. newlyweds, really face sumringah.”

Zahra turned to hear a familiar voice. Zahra laughed softly in response to the temptation from Tina, her friend at the restaurant.

“Apaan the hell you Tin. Regularly kok.”

Tina laughed amusedly then approached Zahra who had just finished changing her clothes in the same waitrees uniform as her.

“How does Ra feel?” Tina asked whispered to Zahra.

Zahra.

“What feeling?” Zahra seemed confused not to understand the question posed by Tina.

Tina clucked.

“Nevent need to pura plain deh Zahra.”.

Zahra shook her head. Tina always wanted to know other people's business. But even though Tina is a prankster and always wants to know Tina remains her best friend who is always ready to help her every time Zahra has a hard time.

“You must have done the obligatory ritual the first night, right?” Tina's question made Zahra instantly shame.

“How are you? people say it feels like flying to the sky.” Tina started to bawl.

“Iihhh.. What the hell are you doing. Shame know. I want to start work. Hunt sir Santo angry later.”

Tina pursed her lips. His curiosity about everything is huge.

“Ck, the secret secret of the same secret I.” Dumel Tina then stepped up following Zahra who came out of the dressing room.

When Zahra picked up the notebook to record the orders of the customers, the man in the ash-cold suit with a tall posture approached. Zahra who turned her body almost hit the manager of the restaurant commonly called Mr. Santo.

“Eh sir.. Morning sir.” Sapa Zahra clumsy. Zahra almost hit Mr. Santo.

“Ya morning.” Reply to the cold Saint.

Zahra, who saw the unusual look on her manager's face, bowed her head. If Mr. Santo has shown such an expression there must be a mistake that makes the manager's heart drizzly hair was not happy.

“I know you are married. But please don't apply as arbitrarily as Zahra.”

Zahra closed her eyes tightly. I don't know what mistake he made this morning. Zahra was not late. Zahra is also just about to start working so it feels impossible if he has made a mistake.

Mr. Saint looked at the bowed Zahra with hardened jaws. The 30-year-old man also clenched his hands before finally choosing to pass from before Zahra.

Tina who was there was also confused. It is not usual for Mr. Saint to be so cold to Zahra.

“Ra, are you papa?” Tina asked closer to Zahra.

Zahra gulped her saliva then shook her head. Confused actually by Santoso's cold demeanor and baseless reprimand at him.

“I'm not papa kok.” Answer Zahra.

“Yes, we started working. Fear Mr. Santo even more angry later.”

Tina nodded her head in agreement. And the two of them then began their activities by greeting the friendly customers who came and asked what to order including Faza who was already sitting quietly in the corner of the room.
