PASUTRI (On Love & Happiness)

CHAPTER 30

Along the way to the Faza family residence, Zahra kept thinking about Santoso's attitude towards him. The man had really turned very derastic now. Santoso was so flat, cold, even so fierce. And for the first time in years, Santoso threatened to fire him when Zahra was not making any trouble.

TIINNNN !!

The horn sound that Faza sounded managed to knock Zahra away from Zahra's daydream about Santoso's attitude towards her.

“Please den..” The smile of a security guard who opened the gate for Faza and Zahra.

“Still yes sir.”

Faza returned to drive his motorcycle into the yard of his family's 2-story house.

Zahra's heart started beating fast. Zahra will meet with Sinta and Faiz in a moment.

Zahra came down from Faza's bonfire as Faza stopped his motorbike in front of a small garden full of flowers in front of his parents' house. Nervous, afraid to feel so haunted Zahra's feelings now. Zahra knew his presence would not be well received by his mother and father-in-law. But the intention is good. Zahra accepted Faza's invitation to visit Sinta who was sick.

“Gugup yes?” Ask Faza.

Zahra smile. Faza must know how he feels now.

“Quiet yes.. Everything will be fine.” Faza got off his bike then grabbed Zahra's hand leading him tightly.

“Come we enter.” Bring Faza.

Zahra just nodded slowly. Zahra felt her legs so heavy stepping beside Faza. Zahra was eager to turn her body around and ran as far away from the fact that both parents of her husband were so distasteful.

“Kakak.”

Faza and Zahra's steps stopped when they heard Fadly's voice. Faza smiled as well as Zahra.

“New nyampe yes?” Fadly asked closer to the two.

“Yes.. Where's mamah?”

“Mamah is in his room brother again rest. Brother just go up.”

“OK..” Anguk Faza's.

“Come Ra..”

Zahra reluctantly stepped up to make Faza turn his head and looked at him as well as Fadly.

“I'm here with Fadly mas.” Said.

Faza sighed. Faza understood what Zahra was feeling right now.

“Ya already then. I went to Mamah first.. Ly, ship Zahra for a minute.”

Fadly nodded her head with a faint smile on her lips. Fadly also knew and understood what Zahra was feeling. Not being accepted by someone who has been a part of his life is very painful.

Faza began to climb one by one the stairs to the second floor where the mama's room was located. Faza leaves Zahra with Fadly because it is impossible for Faza to force Zahra to come face to face.

Faza stopped when he arrived right in front of the door of his parents' room. Faza took a deep breath then exhaled slowly.

Faza slowly opened the door of his parents' room and smiled to find the mother lying down and closed her eyes quietly. Her appearance was not as beautiful as usual. Maybe because he was sick so Sinta did not think too much about his appearance.

Faza stepped slowly closer to Sinta who was fast asleep on her bed. Faza sat himself on the edge of the bed and grabbed Sinta's hand and gently kissed the back of her hand.

“Mah... Faza come mah.” Faza Brief.

Sinta slowly opened her two eyes hearing Faza's slow whisper. Sinta smilingly looked at Faza who was smiling sweetly at her.

“Ya.. It's Faza. Faza come for mamah.”

Sinta tried to get up from her lying down which was helped by Faza.

“Slow down mah.”

“Ya darling.” Nod Sinta with a smile that adorns her pale lips.

Sinta then grabbed Faza's hand which continued to clasp his hand.

“You go home, son.. You stay again the same mamah papah also the same Fadly.”

Faza lowered his head. Faza also wants to always be close to his mamah so that Faza can make sure his mamah is always okay.

“Mamah can't be far from you and Fadly son. Dear friend with you.”

Faza sighed. If only his mama could accept Zahra maybe Faza would invite Zahra to stay in the two-story house. The house where he grew from a baby to a child even until Faza grew up.

“Nak.. Do you no longer love the same mamah so you prefer to be with your wife than with mamah?”

“Not mah.. It's not. Faza is very dear to you. The slightest affection Faza to mamah never decreases.”

Sinta looked at the handsome face of her eldest son. His expectations are so great for his children that he always makes sure everything is best for Faza as well as Fadly.

“Then why do you stay in mamah?”

“Mah.. Faza never left mamah. Faza just wants to be independent with Zahra, wife of Faza.”

Sinta. It was so bad to hear the name Zahra being called by Faza.

“Mamah wonder same you Faza. What's more he is that you can be so crazy crazy about him. When compared to a friend of a true child is very far away. Even he has nothing.”

Faza smiled faintly. Zahra is not perfect. Zahra is not as beautiful as Anita, Rosa, or the son of a friend who intends to be betrothed to Faza. But Faza cannot lie. His heart had been held in Zahra since the beginning of Faza seeing Zahra a few years ago.

“Mah.. Anyway Zahra but she's still my wife mah.. The person I love so much after mamah.” Faza said very gently because he did not want to provoke the anger of the sick mother.

“If indeed you love him after mamah it means your love is the same he is not as big as your love for mamah. Isn't that so nak?”

Sinta looked back at Faza. His pale-lipped smile again expands to look at the eldest son who looks confused in front of him.

“Then for your love is equally mamah, mamah ask you to leave him Faza. Return to the same mamah and papah and follow what mamah want, married to Loly.”

Faza shook his head staring in disbelief at what the mama said. Faza is already happy with Zahra even though his domestic life often has ups and downs. But Faza believes himself also Zahra can respond wisely all the problems.

From the opening of the door Zahra stood there with Fadly standing behind her. Zahra's heart ached hearing what Sinta said.

“Ya Lord..” Zahra's mind with the whole body began to tremble and even relax.

Fadly who was behind Zahra could only remain silent. Zahra must have been very hurt by Sinta's words. Fadly really felt very sorry to invite Zahra up and see firsthand how Sinta is now.

“Ra.” Call Fadly slowly.

Zahra swallowed her saliva with great difficulty. Zahra tried her hardest not to shed her tears. Zahra did not want anyone to think of her as weak.

“I go home first Ly.. Please tell us about Faza.”

Fadly could not prevent Zahra's departure. Fadly could only stand still and stare at Zahra's back which eventually disappeared from her sight as she descended the stairs. Fadly understands. What he said was outrageous.
