PASUTRI (On Love & Happiness)

CHAPTER 52

Taxi Zahra and Faza ride to the destination. In front of the gate of Faza's parents' residence.

Zahra took a deep breath and exhaled violently through her mouth before getting off the taxi with Faza.

“Honest mas.. I'm so nervous now.”

Faza smiled. Faza knows and understands how his wife feels now. Faza was also actually a little regretful coming to the residence of his parents. And somehow Faza felt something that was not in his heart.

“Quiet yes.. I will always be there beside you.”

Faza grabs Zahra's hand and holds it firmly, convincing his wife that Faza will remain beside Zahra no matter what happens. No matter what Faza does, it will surely anger the mama.

“Come we enter.”

“But mas.”

Zahra held back Faza's hand that was holding his hand. Zahra's determination and conviction faded instantly as she recalled the first time she set foot in the two-story house. Sinta did not want to accept it at that time even still did not want to accept it until now.

“Eh aden.”

Zahra and Faza turned their attention to the gate guard pack who had somehow appeared from which direction.

Mr. Umar, the name of the security guard. Mr. Umar eagerly opened the gate without Faza asking.

“Please den. Non Loly has also arrived.”

Faza frowned as well as Zahra heard Mr. Umar say that Loly had also come.

“So mamah ngundang Loly also.” Inner Faza felt very disappointed with what he mamah did. Though Faza thought his mama only invited him and Zahra alone. Faza even had time to think maybe his parents the door to his heart had begun to open and willing to accept and bless his relationship with Zahra.

“Loly? Loly who's mas?”

Zahra asked with a curious face. Zahra believes Loly is not a five-year-old like Arka's niece.

“E.. emm.. Loly the son of Temen mamah Ra.” Faza replied with a faint smile.

Zahra was still dissatisfied with Faza's reply. Zahra wanted to ask again but Zahra herself did not know what to ask. Loly's name really feels very stuck in his heart.

“Ya then close the gate again sir.”

Mr. Umar looked confused at Faza's orders.

“But den.. I've been waiting for Aden and non Zahra inside. They also advised me to tell aden also non to enter immediately when it comes.”

Faza sighed. Inviting Zahra inside is the same as carving a wound on his wife's heart. Faza knew his mama must have had no good intentions this time.

“There are misses the pack that my wife and I have to take first. We'll come back later. So it's better to close the gate again first.” Said Faza trying to find a reason for Mr. Umar to understand.

“Good den.”

When Mr. Umar was about to close the gate again arrived Loly's voice was heard calling Faza's name.

Loly emerged from the main door of the Faza family residence and ran small towards the gate telling Mr. Umar to open wide the gate giving wide passage to Faza and Zahra to enter.

“Pak why did the gate even want to be closed again?”

Mr. Umar was confused to answer what. Sometimes Mr. Umar glanced at Faza who indeed told him to close back the gate that had been opened earlier.

Unable to answer, Umar chose to remain silent.

“This must be Zahra your wife yes mas.”

Loly smiled sweetly and said so kindly to Faza and Zahra.

As for Faza, the man glared reluctantly at Loly who was standing a meter away from him.

“Om same aunt have been waiting for you guys from earlier.” Loly's smile continued to spread her sweet smile.

Faza sighed then gently pulled out Zahra's hand he held. Faza is lazy if he has to serve Loly who always acts sweet-ass also very spoiled on his mother, Sinta.

“Come we enter darling.” Bring Faza.

Zahra remained silent and obeyed. Although his heart was beating very fast, Zahra tried to stay calm. Zahra turned her head and looked for a moment at Loly who was smiling at her. But Zahra is not stupid. Zahra knew what Loly's smile meant.

“Mas..”.

Faza stopped his steps as soon as they reached the guest room. Faza turned his body to look at Zahra who looked very worried now.

“Do not worry. Everything will be fine, baby. We can face all this.” Lirih Faza then pulled Zahra into his arms.

Zahra nodded her head in Faza's arms. Although Zahra could not deny his prejudice to Loly who had smiled at him before Faza invited him to enter the house of his parents.

“Better now we meet same mom papah.”

Faza let go of his embrace and again clasped Zahra's hand inviting her to continue their steps towards the dining table where her parents must have been waiting there.

Not long after Faza and Zahra had passed, Loly entered and stepped very elegantly towards the dining table following Faza and Zahra.

When Zahra and Faza reached the dinner table, his parents were waiting there and Fadly was enjoying apples.

Zahra gulped her saliva feeling scared as well as nervous as she faced her two in-laws.

Zahra ventured closer to both of Faza's parents. Zahra crucified her father-in-law who was warmly welcomed by the man. While trying to crucify his mother-in-law, Zahra immediately got a strong rejection. Sinta got up to avoid and even welcomed the appearance of Loly.

Zahra who saw that could only sigh as well as Faza, Fadly, also the papa.

“Where are you from, baby?” Ask Sinta who like very deliberately showing off her closeness with Loly to Zahra.

“I from front aunt..” Loly Smile.

“Mas Faza has come dear. Better now we have dinner soon before the food is cold.”

“OK..” Anglo Loly.

Sinta leads Loly to the dining table. Sinta really showed his closeness with Loly to Zahra which made Zahra feel increasingly upset.

Loly and Sinta began to sit in his chair. Faza also gave Zahra a seat.

“Mas Faza want to eat what? let me get you.” Loly said very kindly.

Zahra could only shut up and let out a slow breath. Zahra feels that Loly has an interest in her husband and is trying to show it to him.

“No need to bother Loly, here is Zahra his wife brother Faza who will serve brother Faza with all his heart. Isn't that so brother Faza?”

Faza smiled and nodded his head in agreement with what Fadly said.

Faza was happy because it turned out that Fadly also did not like the presence of Loly among them.
