PASUTRI (On Love & Happiness)

CHAPTER 56

Faza has been quiet since staying at his parents' house. Faza did not expect that his mother's thought could be so bad to judge Zahra, his beloved wife.

Zahra who realized her husband was often daydreaming was curious and ventured to ask while approaching slowly to Faza.

“Mas..”.

The gentle touch of Zahra's hand managed to distract Faza. Faza smiled and patted the place quietly beside him telling Zahra to sit there.

“What's the matter dear?”

“Why you? I noticed since we came home from the same mama house papah you often really diem not even focus.”

Faza smiled. Not only at home, Faza even got a reprimand from his superiors for daydreaming too much and making mistakes while at work.

“There's something I want to talk to you about, baby.. But I ask you not to force yourself.”

Zahra nodded at hearing it.

“About what?”

Faza sighed then gently pulled Zahra into his embrace. Faza really did not accept what he accused Zahra of. Because for Faza, Zahra remains the best for him. Zahra is the woman of her heart.

“Mas.”

Zahra called out softly to Faza demanding that Faza immediately say what was holding him back now even from yesterday.

“So mamah asked me to make you stay at home mamah.”

Zahra was really surprised to hear that. But Zahra can control herself and remain calm in her silence in Faza's arms.

“I refused. Because I don't want you to hurt me with Loly.”

Zahra smile. Faza was trying to protect her from the mama as well as the woman who was trying to attract his attention.

“Loly is not a good woman.”

Zahra let go of Faza's embrace. The woman looked up at Faza who was slightly lowered returning his gaze.

“What with us stay there mamah and papah you can bless our relationship?” Ask Zahra slowly.

Faza shook his head slowly. Letting Zahra stay with one roof with her mamah is like destroying her own household that she has built with great difficulty. His mother would definitely hurt Zahra in various ways.

“We still have many ways to it Ra. Don't force yourself.” Lirih Faza's.

Zahra smile. For him as long as they can keep their heart and trust everything will be fine. Zahra would probably feel jealous if Loly continued to approach her husband. But Zahra will prove to her parents-in-law that she deserves to be with Faza.

“Mas, parental blessing is the key to our true happiness.”

Faza sighed. I regretted it after saying what always bothered his mind.

“I know it's Zahra. But if to stay the same at home mommy I really object. I don't want you to get hurt.”

Zahra brought her face closer and kissed her husband's thin lips.

“I want to try it.” Zahra Smile.

For the first time Faza did not smile even though Zahra had already kissed him. His heart grew increasingly uneasy after saying what Zahra asked.

“Not Zahra.” Firm Faza.

Faza's assertiveness makes Zahra even more confident that her husband will always take care and protect her. Zahra was sure Faza would continue to trust him as well as his sincerity.

Zahra grabbed Faza's hand and grasped it tightly.

“Mas..”.

Faza. According to Zahra's wishes this time will really bring disaster to their relationship later.

Faza smiled. It is impossible if Zahra is not angry and jealous if she sees her mother close her to Loly.

“Already Zahra. I said no yes. I don't want us to fight continuously just because of your jealousy later.”

Zahra laughed softly. Not laughing at Faza's words, but laughing at himself who was indeed very jealous.

“I won't be that way anymore. I'll change the way I sulk when I'm jealous of you. How?”

Faza looked back at Zahra who continued to develop a smile on her natural pink lips.

“Zahra..”.

“Mas.. By blessing mama same papah. You want to, right?”

Faza sighed. Faza is still not willing if until his wife is hurt by his motherly attitude.

“I promise I won't be jealous anymore. If I'm jealous, I won't be angry like yesterday. I want ya... We try to stay with mamah papah.”

Faza took a deep breath and then exhaled through his mouth.

“We will not know if we do not work on it first right mas?”

“Zahra, brother Aris will definitely not agree. He'll get more and more misunderstood with me.” Lirih Faza's.

Zahra's smile faded. Zahra almost forgot the older brother who had not been willing to greet Faza until now.

“Don't just think of the best for the two of us. Think also of the feelings of brother Aris who has long loved and cared for you. After all, brother Aris is a substitute father and mother for both of us.”

Zahra closed her eyes for a moment then nodded her head.

“I'll talk to brother Aris tomorrow sister.”

“I'll accompany you. After I get home from work tomorrow. Okay?”

Zahra nodded her head then went back into Faza's arms.

Faza smiled and gently rubbed his wife's back. Faza also dipped occasionally the top of Zahra's head. This time Faza was very hopeful for Aris. Zahra would not listen to him to stay alone. And Faza hopes Aris will strictly ban it so Zahra can change her mind.

“Already night. Better now we rest.”

Zahra nodded in Faza's arms. Faza said as Faza carried her towards the bed.

As usual, Faza always did that before they fell asleep. Faza really really tried very hard so that his wife can quickly get pregnant so that both parents can accept his decision to be with Zahra until she ages.

---------

The next day after Faza returned from work, the two immediately headed for the residence of Aris and Nadia. Faza and Zahra even had to wait when they got there because Aris had not returned from the office.

About 30 minutes to wait for Aris to come home. Zahra immediately expressed her desire to stay with the two Faza parents which made Aris speechless.

As for Faza, the man just kept silent beside Zahra expectantly to Aris. Faza this time really hopes the ban from Aris so that Zahra can change his mind and undo his intention to stay with the two parents Faza.

“You're an adult now Zahra. If you used to be the full responsibility of brother but no longer for now. Faza deserves everything more for you. For the matter of you staying with Faza to his parents' house is up to you two. Brother can only wish you the best.”

Faza was disappointed with Aris's calm demeanor now. Faza thinks Aris will ban it but instead Aris puts all the decisions on Zahra himself.

“Thank you brother, Zahra very dear same sister.”

Zahra got up from her seat and approached Aris and hugged her tightly.

“Same deck. My sister loves you too. Happy always yes.. Brother is always here for you.” Aris smiled behind Zahra's back.

Meanwhile Nadia could only smile seeing Aris and Zahra embrace. Nadia knows how Aris loves Zahra, the trust that her parents gave to Aris before death to pick them up so they have to separate forever.
