PASUTRI (On Love & Happiness)

CHAPTER 58

Because today is the first time Zahra set foot in the home of his parents, Faza was forced to take a leave of absence from his job this day. Faza was worried that his wife would be treated badly by her mother because there was also Loly.

A day at his father-in-law Zahra did not feel anything strange at all. Sinta's attitude also Loly was not as bad as when she attended dinner a few days ago.

“Mas..”.

“Hem..”.

Zahra got up from her seat on the bed and then approached Faza who was sitting on the sofa while braining his laptop.

“What are you doing again? From earlier a mulu laptop held.”

Faza sighed softly then smiled and turned to look at Zahra who had a sad face.

“I am not in today. So Anita sent me the report I needed to approve via email. And his report there was a little mistake that of course I had to correct.”

Zahra poked her lips.

“Continue now unfinished?” Ask Zahra again.

“A little more done kok.” Faza replied smiling.

“Ya then I sleep first well.”

“OK. I'll catch up later.”

After getting an answer from Faza, Zahra returned to the bed and laid her body there, covering her with a thick blanket of bone white.

Zahra did not immediately fall asleep even though his head was perfectly cushioned. Zahra is thinking about tomorrow. Zahra guessed what Sinta's attitude would be like tomorrow until finally Zahra was unconscious.

While Faza, the man closed his laptop one hour after Zahra passed towards the bed. Until now actually Faza was still even more unsettled. Today nothing happened to his wife because of her mother. But tomorrow, Faza doesn't know what he'll do when Faza is working outside the house.

Suddenly Faza remembered what Fadly had told him about auntie. Faza thought for a moment.

“Auntie, maybe I can entrust Zahra to him..” Inner Faza.

Faza placed his laptop on a table beside the sofa he sat on and then got up and immediately passed out without glancing at Zahra who had fallen asleep quietly on the mattress.

“Yes.. Good to see you tomorrow.. Don't forget to order me..”

Faza stopped his steps when he heard the papah's voice. An impressed voice is kept.

Curious, Faza also tried to peek at the source of the voice where his papa was standing on his back with the cellphone he had just dropped from his ear.

“Papah.” Call Faza.

Papah Faza was jolted very surprised by Faza's call. The man quickly turned his body staring at Faza who was standing not far from where he was now.

“Faza.. You haven't slept?”

Faza narrowed both his eyes looking suspiciously at his papa.

“Whose phone is the same? Why did you get out of the room?”

Papah Faza looked confused. The man was wrongly confused to answer what.

“Oh it.. That was my friend who called. Tomorrow I have to get out of town. So we made an appointment there to meet.”

Faza felt doubtful about the strange appearance of his papa. Somehow Faza felt like his papa was covering something from him.

“Ya already then Za, papah sleep first. You also sleep... It's night.”

Papah Faza then passed by sighing in relief that Faza was not aware of.

For a moment Faza seemed to still think about the strange waves of his papa. But then Faza dismissed his bad thoughts on the papah. Faza continues his intention to meet with his aunt to entrust Zahra's security to her.

------------

The next morning at breakfast at dinner.

“Not baby, this is enough. You eat a lot.. Let cepet.”

Fadly who heard and witnessed the harmony of her brother's household relationship smiled happily. But not with Sinta who seemed to feel bored in her seat.

After breakfast, Fadly and Faza leave for work. Likewise with Papah Faza who indeed had to leave the city this morning.

“Papah keep health there yes.. Do not forget to tell mamah that papah has arrived.” Said Sinta when driving her husband to the front of the taxi that will take Papah Faza to the airport.

“Iya mah's.. Mom is also good at home.. Later papah bawain by a lot of mamah. Papah departs well.”

“Iya pah..”

A brief kiss landed on Sinta before Faza's papah entered the taxi and passed at moderate speed from his yard.

Zahra and the aunt who were staring from a distance just kept quiet.

“Bi, it mamah do not join papah anterin to the airport?” Zahra asked curiously.

“Not non. It's so ordinary. I never wanted to leave the city if I wanted to get out of town. More precisely not do not want, but not be given the same father. He said let me not be tired.”

“Hah?!” Zahra felt strange about what aunt said.

“Ya already non aunty want to finish the dining table first yes..”

“Oh let me help bi..”

“But non..”

“Udah no papa bi. Than I bengong kan mending I help aunty. Come.”

Zahra smiled and excitedly stepped in front of the aunt who felt very bad for the wife of her master's child.

Zahra helped auntie with great cheer. Starting from sweeping, to doing everything he can do from morning until noon today.

“Zahra..”.

Sinta's voice managed to distract Zahra from the knickknacks that Zahra was cleaning in the guest room at the time.

“Ah yes mah... Can Zahra help?” Sweet Zahra smile.

Sinta clucked slowly staring at the simple appearance of Zahra from top to bottom which according to Sinta is very much different from Loly who always looks beautiful and fashionable.

“Ikut. Someone wants to talk to you.”

“Iya mah.”

Zahra according to him. Zahra followed Sinta who stepped towards the side porch of the house while still carrying a field in her hand.

“Sit.” Sinta's orders after they get to the side of the house.

“Iya mah.” Zahra complied again and sat in a long chair which was then also occupied by Sinta.

Sinta folded her hands under her chest in her haughty style. His gaze was straight ahead with his chin raised.

“You know it's not Zahra, you never approve of your relationship with Faza. Therefore mama told you to stay here. That's all you do so you can watch over you. Maman is afraid to be silent you are fussy behind Faza.”

Zahra swallowed his saliva. His new day really starts now.

“You have been married 4 months but until now you have not been pregnant. Can you not love your grandchildren? if you can't you can back out of now Zahra. There is a Loly who is much better than you who is definitely ready to become a companion of Faza.” Sinta again.

Zahra smile. Zahra knew it would go through. Therefore Zahra had really prepared his mentality.

“Mamah no need to worry about that. Soon Zahra will conceive a child mas Faza mah.”

Zahra replied to Sinta calmly. Zahra knows how she should behave now. Zahra will not give up whatever happens.
