PASUTRI (On Love & Happiness)

CHAPTER 54

Faza looks for Zahra every corner of the house even to the side of the house. Slowly popped out of his lips as Faza did not find Zahra where he was.

“Zahra where are you? Time he came home anyway.”

Faza sighed. The possibility of Zahra coming home earlier than him could have happened given how his mamah attitude when he was eating at the table earlier.

Faza ruffled his waist seemed to think until finally Faza only realized that there was one place that Faza had not checked in his home.

Faza's smile then expanded. Faza is convinced now that Zahra is in a place that Faza has rarely visited since long ago.

With steady steps Faza passed from the side terrace of the house to the kitchen. His wife was a very diligent woman and loved cleanliness. And Faza was sure Zahra must be in the kitchen cleaning the cutlery they just used for dinner together last night.

Sure enough, when Faza reached the kitchen, his beloved wife was wiping the dishes that seemed to have just finished washing.

However, there is not only Zahra. But there was also an aunt who was wiping the pantry table.

Faza waved at auntie trying to attract the old woman's attention. After aunt looked at him, Faza gestured with his hands and eyes for aunt to leave Zahra with him. The aunt who knew immediately nodded her head and walked into the sludge passed from the kitchen without Zahra noticing.

After the aunt passed, Faza approached Zahra slowly and stood right behind Zahra.

“Bi.. What do mom and dad like that? For example, rich in food or maybe a hobby.. I'm a little kepo pep tau.”

Faza smiled hearing that. Faza believes Zahra must not be just a trite base asking auntie that. Zahra must be looking to find out how to use that method to melt the hearts of her two in-laws.

“Kan aunty saw for herself mamah kanya still less respect me.. Well.. I want to try a little bi. He said there would be no attempt to betray results. Even if the result is not in accordance with what I want, at least I have tried to try.”

Faza was really touched to hear it. Zahra wanted the blessing of her parents to try to find a way for them to look at her.

“Bi.. How's diem?”

Zahra mrngeryit because she did not get a response from aunt. Curious, Zahra also turned his body because his job of wiping the dishes was done.

“Mas.”

Zahra was surprised to find Faza in front of her now. Not anymore aunt.

Faza smiled. His two hands grabbed both hands Zahra grasped gently then lifted them and gently kissed the backs of Zahra's hands alternately.

“We go home now well?”

Zahra was silent about not agreeing to her husband's return. Zahra did not understand why her husband had brought her home. Though Zahra thought Faza would invite her to stay overnight.

“I know you won't be comfortable here Zahra. Don't force yourself if you can't.”

Zahra remained silent. Zahra never forced herself. Zahra was just trying to adjust to her mother-in-law's attitude.

“Zahra.. There's something you don't know about me and Loly.”

Zahra's eyebrows lifted one. Faza's remarks made a bad guess start lodged in his pretty head.

“But I won't tell you here. We go home now and I'll tell her at home later.”

“Ya mas.”

Faza released one of Zahra's hands from his grasp. When he was about to step up, Faza quietly found Sinta at the entrance of the kitchen.

Zahra gulped her saliva seeing her mother-in-law standing arrogantly there. Zahra was sure that her mother-in-law would definitely arrest Faza.

“Loly is back at Faza.” Said telling.

Faza clucked slowly. Faza can already guess what the meaning of his mama's speech is.

“We also want to go home mah. It's night too.” Reply Faza tried to stay calm even though his sweet potato was boiling now.

“Go home? Why not just stay?”

Zahra was a little surprised. Sinta indirectly offers to stay. Something that actually did not cross Zahra's mind in the slightest.

“Now you better anterin Loly home Faza. Loly complained of pain in her hands and could not drive herself. The driver was unable to pick up because he had gone home and rest.”

Faza narrowed his eyes. His mother could tell a driver to rest but not with him who was instead told to take Loly.

“Mah I am also tired of all day work directly here. It's also time for me to rest. Mamah can tell the Loly family driver to rest now. Not even bothering. But why can not understand and understand me who is a mother child.”

Zahra felt Faza's hand tighten. From there Zahra could understand that her husband was holding back the anger right now.

“Faza.. Mamah asked for help with you both.. You want Loly why he's on the road. It's already night.” Sinta looked at Faza with an unexpected look because her son so firmly dared to refute her.

“Mah but..”

“Mas..”.

Faza's words hung as Zahra interrupted him. Zahra did not want her husband to continue arguing with her mother. Sinta will definitely blame him even more if Faza rejects his desire to escort Loly. Sinta will definitely accuse Zahra of being a bad influence for Faza.

“Anterin aja mas. Not what is it.” Lirih Zahra endured the pain in her heart.

“Zahra. I don't want to. We better go home now.”

“Mas..” Zahra returned Faza's hand tightly. Zahra tried to melt the hard heart of her husband for the good of his relationship in the eyes of Sinta.

“I believe in you. Don't make your mom angry. Not good.”

Faza sighed. Faza knows how the real Loly is. It was also the main factor that Faza refused the match other than because he loved Zahra very much.

“Tuh.. Your wife does not know how to Za.. Why not help mama?”

Faza looked back at his mama. Sinta always does whatever she wants. Sinta always thinks his decision is the best for everyone.

“Lagian also there are still people who want to talk to you about Faza. Stay here first you two.” Sinta's smile stared alternately at Faza and Zahra.

Faza looked at Zahra who was also staring at him. Although Zahra smiled but Faza knew how his wife felt now. Because no wife wants to see her husband close to another woman. And Faza understood that.

“Good then. But you have to come with me. We take Loly home the same. Come.”

Faza led Zahra and stepped past Sinta just like that. The protest of Sinta was not Faza gubris and still stepped with a gentle pull of Zahra's hand.

Faza drives Loly home in Loly's car with Zahra at his side.
