Second Wife Successor Mr. Zain

Chapter 95. The Restlessness of Zahra's heart

The next morning Zahra woke up with puffy eyes and blackened eye bags due to lack of sleep, she had to stay awake all night because her husband was not constantly delirious in his sleep.

I don't know what Zain dreamed in his sleep, even his body temperature reached 39.2° C with cold sweat that soaked his entire body.

Zahra can only keep her husband alone, she does not want to make everyone panic and the condition of her mother-in-law is also not good nor does it allow to trouble her.

“37.2° C... thank goodness it has fallen in heat,” said Zahra after finishing checking the body temperature of her husband who was still asleep, Zain had just fallen asleep after dawn.

Feeling lightened, Zahra took a compress towel that she placed on her husband's forehead and put it back into the stainless basin she placed on the nightstand.

Zahra confirmed the blanket covering her husband's body, with her tired face she looked at the pale face of her husband who was asleep with a face that looked so peaceful as if without any burden she had.

“Beautiful sleep, dear,” whispered Zahra while her little fingers were busy obscuring the face of the husband who had a few red scratches left over last night's tragedy.

‘I did not expect, a proud and cold man like you could also fall lying helpless,’ Inner Zahra felt pity with the condition of her husband.

While cleaning the stainless bowl where the water is compressed, Zahra saw a flat object belonging to her husband lying nearby. He stretched out his hand hesitantly wanting to grab the phone and make sure something that these few days had always disturbed his calm.

Apparently Zain did not put a password on his phone so as not to make Zahra trouble, Zahra smiled looking at the wallpaper that her husband used in his phone screen, their wedding photo taken in China at that time.

“Can I be suspicious of you?” zahra asked her husband, who she knew would not listen to her questions.

“I don't want to be prejudiced against you, but I'm also afraid that something I don't want will ruin everything.”.

Zahra returned to focus with the phone in her hand, but she had not had time to check her sumi phone heard someone knocking on her kamaran door.

“Who?” zahra asked with her voice raised so that the person behind her bedroom door could hear her voice.

“I bi Nur, Miss,” replied bi Nur from behind closed doors, surely bi Nur also shouted to answer him.

“Good wait a minute, Bi.”

Zahra put her husband's cell phone back where it was and walked to the door to deny her intention to check her husband's phone.

“Nona, the porridge you asked for is ready,” said bi Nur after Zahra opened his room door.

Zahra took over the tray containing two servings of porridge that she asked this morning from the hands of bi Nur. “Thank you, Bi.”

“Sama-sama, Miss.”

“What mommy has breakfast?” ask Zahra who is still worried about her mother-in-law's condition.

“The lady is still not out of her room, Miss. But I delivered breakfast to my room. Amara,” replied bi Nur with his shady face, occasionally he stole a glance into Zahra's room.

“Aunt didn't tell mommy about Zain's condition, did he?” ask Zahra worried.

“No, Miss.”

“Thank God,” says Zahra relieved. “Auntie please take care of mommy ya!” zahra continued because she could not accompany her mother-in-law.

“Good Miss.”

“Ehm .. it's Miss,” said bi Nur hesitate.

Zahra was silent for a while waiting for bi Nur who seemed reluctant to finish his sentence.

“How is Mr Zain's condition, Miss?” ask bi Nur quickly.

“It's been better, Bi. Auntie don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Zain,” said Zahra menenagakan, she knew that bi Nur was very worried about her husband's condition. Bi Nur has been caring for her husband since childhood, of course, bi Nur is very fond of Zain like his own son.

“Alhamdulillah,” bi Nur pronounces tahmid sentences as gratitude.

Zahra smiled seeing the anxiety on bi Nur's aged face slowly disappearing.

“What Ali has come, Bi?” asked Zahra who remembered her husband.

“Already since 30 minutes ago, Miss.”

“Why not tell me? Pity her long wait, Auntie please tell her that Zain can't come to the office and she has to take care of the work as long as Zain isn't around. If there is an urgent situation just contact Barra.”

Zahra went back into the room and she saw her husband was up and sitting on the bed leaning on the head of the bed, with eyes looking straight at Zahra.

“You're awake, honey. Breakfast porridge first yes,” said Zahra then put the tray on the table because the basin on the nightstand he had not had time to finish.

Zain was silent and did not respond to his wife's words, his eyes focused on the movement of the wife who was cleaning the basin and brought the tray back to the bed.

“Is there anything you want?” asked Zahra because she felt the anger kept being stared at by her husband.

“Come!” zain's orders without changing his sitting position, though he was busy patting the edge of the mattress right next to him hinting for Zahra to sit there.

Dutifully Zahra sat beside Zain facing each other. Zain was increasingly looking fixed on his wife's face made Zahra more wrong behavior, especially Zain took a look at Zahra's chin to look at him.

“Why are your eyes swollen like this, Honey?” zain asked inquiring, he did not realize his wife's eyes had become like that because they were guarding him all night.

“Eh, that ... may be due to fatigue and lack of sleep alone,” replied Zahra and turned her face away, even though she had lived long enough with her husband, still Zahra felt wrong if she had to look at her husband for a long time.

“Come quickly eaten porridge while still hot, Darling.” Zahra distracts her husband in order to save his increasingly uncontrollable heart.

“I want to eat if you're the one who bribed me, Honey!” zain said spoiled.

“Do not spoiled.”

“If you don't bribe me, I won't eat!” Zain turned his face away, looking funny like a child sulking when not obeyed his will.

“Alright, I will feed you my big baby,” joked Zahra and managed to make Zain put on a face

“Do you fear mommy?” asked Zain, who remembered the incident last night, he thought that his wife was afraid after seeing her mother hysterically and lost control even to the point of injuring her own son.

“No,” replied Zahra quickly, she was indeed not afraid of her mommy, the thing that she feared was even bigger than that.
