“Kakak Ipar, do you not feel sultry by dressing all-length in this summer?” asked Yitian who had felt disturbed by the way her sister-in-law dressed.
“Eh, i-it ..” Zahra stammered at the question from her husband's cousin, wondering what to answer. She couldn't explain herself but if she ignored her, it was very rude and Zahra was afraid to offend her husband's cousin.
Barra who saw the anxiety on her nona face immediately distracted Yitian.
“Young master, miss Zahra must be tired after a long trip, let alone this is the first flight of Miss Zahra. So let Miss Zahra get into her room and rest.”
“Hmm, okay. Please enter Brother-in-law, remember the rules! Do not leave the room for the next 3 days, there will be an officer who helps all your needs and if you need something just call them.” Yitian pointed at the several guards standing at some corner of the corridor.
“Food will be delivered by the attendant and dirty clothes will be taken every morning,” continued Yitian.
“Good Sir, thanks for your help,” replied Zahra followed by Barra and Hani.
“Don't feel shy, we are family. Just call me a name, Sister-in-law,” Yitian felt bad about Zahra's call to her.
“Emh, can I call Tian?” zahra asked hesitantly, she was afraid that it would be considered impolite because she was younger than Yitian.
“Seny Sister-in-law, only. Tian sounds good too.” Yitian flashed her smile making Zahra feel relieved.
“Thank you, Tian.”
“Sama-sama, Sister-in-law. Have a good rest, see you in the next 3 days,” said Yitian before Zahra closed the door to her room.
After making sure Zahra entered his room, they continued to deliver Hani to his room next to Zahra's room. After confirming that Hani had entered his room, Yitian stared intently at Barra, looking suspiciously at her assistant and asking for an explanation from her for feeling that something was hidden from her.
“What do I not know?” yitian asked with her firm face indicating that she was being serious.
“Sorry Young Master, I dare not say it to you. There was an incident in the past that made Miss Zahra not free in dress, and if you want to find out more, you should ask directly to Young Master Yang,” explained Barra politely.
“Alright, I understand. Rest up! Your room is over there!” yitian said while pointing at the door beside Hani's room.
“Thank you, Mr.”
“Hmm, the rules still apply to you too! I'm not locking you up doesn't mean you're free from my supervision, it's just that your crazy young master won't comply if he doesn't lock it from the outside.”
...*****...
Zahra was fascinated to see the contents of her room, a room with deluxe king suite class provided by Four Seasons Hotel owned by her husband's family was very luxurious and elegant.
Zahra steps up to the glass wall that shows the sea views that are so pampering the eyes, beautiful views of the Kowloon peninsula to the world-famous Victoria Harbour.
After being satisfied to see the ocean, Zahra decided to tour her hotel room. There is a dressing room and also a luxurious bathroom complete with all the equipment.
Drr! Drr! Drr!
Zahra jumped in shock when she felt the vibration coming from her phone, she grabbed the flat object from inside her pants pocket and there was a call coming from her husband.
“Hallo, what's up Dear?” zahra asked after receiving the call.
‘Kangen!’ zain complained from across the street.
“Not even an hour we parted, Darling.”
‘An hour is like a brother to me, Zahra! You have no idea how tormented I am without you, Honey ..’ Zain said in a voice that sounded sad.
“Jeez, Baby! Don't be like little dong, our room next to each other is only separated by a wall, you don't let mepay deh,” Zahra taunted by holding his laughter.
‘Honey!’ calling Zain out in a loud voice made Zahra a little surprised.
“Iya, what's up?”
‘Let's if I get sick how? Who will take care of me?’
“Sick why? can you be sick?” asked Zahra innocently.
‘Honey, I'm an ordinary human not a robot. I'm afraid I'll get sick after parting from you.’
“You're all there, Darling.” Zahra laughed at her husband's words.
“Iya-iya, take it easy Honey, there will be no diseases that dare to approach you. Your face is scary if you get angry again.”
‘Zahra!’
“Eh, sorry Darling ...,” shrewd Zahra realized her mistake.
“Only 3 days Honey, after that we will be together again, later I masakin something special for you yes ..” refer to Zahra.
‘3 Days is like 3 millennials to me, I'm not sure I can hold this feeling that long.’
“You want to live for 3 millennia?”
‘For that long with you, as long as I'm ready, Honey!’ zain replied teasingly.
“Honey, don't ngaco! Rest first there, it seems like your mind is tired and needs rest.” Zahra chose to distract her husband, her body indeed feeling very tired.
‘You didn't miss me?’
“No Honey, I'm tired of wanting to rest.”
‘You are so evil Zahra, I am here tormented for missing you, but you are so ignorant and ignore me!’ zain said with annoyance.
“Not so .. I also miss you, but my body is also very tired and needs rest .. understand, dear.” Zahra felt bad for making her husband angry.
‘Hmm, okay. But with one condition,’ said Zain.
“What?”
‘Tell me if you love me!’
“I love you,” says Zahra flat.
‘Ck! Not so,’ annoyed Zain.
“Then how? You told me to say you love me, and I already said it, right?”
‘Don't with such a flat tone, Zahra! Doesn't fit sound in my ear.’
“I love you Zain Malik Ibrahim,” said Zahra in a voice made as sweet as possible.
‘What I didn't hear-’
Zahra ended the call, she could no longer bear the appeal of her husband. His heart had been beating irregularly.
“Sorry dear, I turned off the unilateral call, wrong myself continuously teasing me!” nagging Zahra to her innocent cell phone.
Inside his room, Zain smilingly stared at his cell phone screen. He was so happy to see the face of his wife who met red because of his actions.
Zain turned his gaze towards the laptop screen in front of him which displayed the figure of the wife from the CCTV camera in Zahra's room.
“You look even sweeter when you blush, Honey ..” Zain said with a smile on his face.
Zain refocused on his phone and contacted someone, after waiting for a few seconds for his call to connect with the person across the street.
“How is it going?”
‘ .... ’
“Stupid! Searching for one person only you are not becus!”
‘ .... ’
“Do not apologize to me, just do your job and before I finish my quarantine I want to hear good news from your men, Yitian!”
