“So mamah really like the same lalap lalapan ya bi?” Zahra asked as she washed the freshly finished lettuce leaves she finished.
“Iya.. But strangely Den Faza the same den Fadly actually very dislike with vegetables.”
Zahra who heard that frowned. So far, Zahra knows Faza is not a person who likes to choose what other foods vegetables. Faza even always spends whatever vegetables Zahra treats on the table during their marriage.
“Mas Faza doesn't like vegetables? Time is bi?”
“Iya non-real. Even since childhood the same Faza den den Fadly it does not like all kinds of vegetables. In the past they both liked to cry if forced to eat vegetables with mom.”
Zahra laughed at hearing that. Imagining Faza and Fadly crying just for being forced to eat vegetables makes Zahra feel amused herself.
“Definitely funny yes bi used to fit mas Faza and Fadly was small.”
“Oh yes non.. They were both spoiled just as sweet as before. But now on such a handsome handsome. Time feels fast once passed non.”
Zahra nodded her head in agreement. The past time is indeed short if it has been lived. But the time to come feels so long and long if anticipated.
“Zahra.”
Zahra turned to hear Sinta's call.
“Iya mah..” A smile of Zahra engrave as soon as her gaze meets Sinta.
“Please make avocado juice. There's Loly dateng. Mama also wants warm tea... No use for long.” Sinta's Order.
“Iya mah..” Nod Zahra with a smile that continues to adorn her lips.
Sinta passed after Zahra obeyed her orders. The woman smiled happily because she was finally able to bully Zahra easily.
“Non, let aunty make it.. Not enough to bring it forward. Aunty knows how avocado juice favorite non Loly. Later if non-making it sweetness can be a problem. Aunty does not want to be wronged by mother.. Non is also not a rich aunty's maid who should be told this that.”.
Zahra sighed. It seems Sinta was deliberately testing Zahra's patience and loyalty.
“Ya already then bi. Let me make warm tea for mamah.”
“Ya.. Pack the sugar half a teaspoon only non not much.”
Zahra nodded her head with a sweet smile on her lips. Zahra thought maybe she had to ask aunty a lot so that it would not be wrong to do what Sinta told her.
After auntie made avocado juice like Sinta's will, Zahra immediately took it out. Zahra was a little confused because when Sinta asked for avocado juice and warm tea, Sinta did not say where to go Zahra.
”Duh.. Where ya? Time in the guest room.” Zahra Mumbles.
As Zahra was about to turn around, Faza emerged from the direction of the living room. The man who had been carrying his suit and briefcase smiled to find Zahra who was on his back.
“Sayang..” Call Faza to Zahra.
Zahra instantly turned her body hearing Faza's voice. Seeing her husband not far from her, Zahra immediately put down the tray she was carrying and ran over to Faza.
Zahra yelled at Faza before entering into her husband's arms. Zahra was relieved that she had managed to get through this day quietly even though Sinta had always told her this nonstop.
“How is it today?”
Zahra laughed at Faza's question. Zahra then let go of her embrace and looked up at her husband's handsome face.
“I should have asked you, how you are doing today.”
Faza smiled. Faza is just too worried about leaving his wife at home with his mom who is super hard and judes.
“Zahra !! Zahra !!”
“Yes God.. I forgot to. Bentar bentar mas.”
Not wanting to make his mother-in-law angry Zahra immediately grabbed back the tray she had brought and then took her step towards the source of Sinta's voice.
A curious Faza followed behind Zahra. Faza wanted to know how his mother's attitude toward Zahra was if she wasn't around.
“This mah Juice is the same tea. Sorry about that long time ago.”.
“That's you if told the real dong Zahra. Do not clamp clamps rich in snails. Mamah asked you to make the same tea juice from earlier.” Sela Sinta was angry and got up from her seat in the same seat that Loly was sitting in on the side of the house.
Zahra grimacing. Zahra admitted that she had long given Sinta the tea and juice she wanted, but the delay was also because Sinta who from the beginning did not say where she and Loly were when she asked for it.
“Sorry mah.. Zahra was confused to take him where because mamah did not say that Mama same Loly is here.”
“So you turned on mamah?!” Sinta's snap made Zahra flinch and closed her eyes for a moment.
Faza who witnessed for himself the rude attitude of his mamah to Zahra shook his head unexpectedly. Faza had expected it but Faza still did not think through the way he behaved to his wife.
Can't bear to hear his mama scold Zahra, Faza was immediately closer to make Sinta also Loly surprised because the appearance arrived Faza.
“So this is how you can call Zahra when I'm not home? Mama told Zahra to do this?”
Zahra sighed. Zahra really didn't want any of that to happen.
“It would be wrong for you to ask Zahra for help? Mamah just ask Zahra to make Loly's favorite juice as well as warm tea for mamah.”
“But this is not how. Mamah was angry with Zahra just because Zahra was late in giving what mamah and Loly wanted. Zahra is not a maid here. She's my wife.” Faza remained unaccepted with his maestro attitude towards Zahra.
Sinta is upset because Faza is angry with her and Loly.
“Mas was aunty.”.
“I didn't ask you to speak. Please diem.” Sela Faza on Loly.
Loly nodded her head understanding. Upset actually but Loly tries to hold him back and is calm in front of Faza and his mamah.
“Faza you what the hell? No need to snatch snapped Loly so.” This time it was Sinta who did not accept Faza's strict response to Loly.
Faza smiled miris.
“Loly is not who here mah. But can usually mamah so defend him.”
Zahra who did not want to debate her husband and mother-in-law getting longer immediately put the tray she carried on the table in front of Sinta and Loly then invited Faza to pass leaving Sinta and Loly alone.
Zahra pulled Faza's hand and took him to the second floor where their room was.
After reaching their room, Zahra immediately kissed Faza then hugged him hoping that what he did could make Faza's heart calm and his emotions subside.
“Do not argue mamah mas.. I'm okay.” Said Zahra hugging Faza tightly.
Faza closed both his eyes then softly returned Zahra's embrace. Faza felt very guilty because of the attitude of the mama to Zahra earlier.
“What do you do so as long as I'm not at home dear?” Ask Faza lirih.
Zahra smile.
“You don't have to worry. I can deal with it.” Zahra's reply made Faza smile then kiss the old top of Zahra's head.
Zahra and Sinta did have the same tough attitude. But amazingly Zahra could hold back even though Sinta was angry even to the point of snapping at him.
