Secret Weddings

Sepesial

Zara Almost a Sunday invited her son and husband to visit where Meli lives today.

Now they say goodbye, Aron looks so sad when he sees Nessa and Nevan in the car.

Meli who saw her son sad, the woman immediately embraced and gave understanding that they could meet again later.

The car Zara and her family were riding in was nowhere to be seen. Meli immediately brought her son in.

"Mama, why doesn't Nessa just stay here?" ask Aron.

Meli looked at her son's face, the woman sat on the dining table chair. 

"They're his business there, while we're here" Meli said.

Aron just nodded, understood and not because he thought the adult was making a dizzy.

While in the car, Zara is not inferior to Meli, she is persuading her daughter because she still wants to play with Aron.

Nathan just smiled at the attitude of his daughter, while Nevan was indifferent from earlier.

Zara's eldest son did not care about the surroundings.

That night, the wind blew softly between the splashing leaves of trees framing the too dark path leading them home. The grazing street light only makes it clear that there is a family car on the road.

In the car, the atmosphere was a bit tense but filled with family warmth. 

Zara, an energetic young mother, is persuading her daughter Nessa who still wants to play with Aron, her cousin.

"Yuk, Nessa, we've been playing for a long time. We'll play another game next time, okay?" zara said softly but firmly, trying to distract Nessa to something else.

"Ulu ii, Mom. I still want to play with Aron!" Nessa whines loudly, trying to get permission for just a few more minutes.

Nathan's light laughter, Zara's husband, rang out between the rumbling sounds of the car engine and the wind. "Nessa let's go home now. Papa promised we'd take you to the playground once a week."

Meanwhile, Nevan, Zara's eldest son who never spoke much, just sat firmly in the back seat with a flat expression looking out. 

The wind that hit Nevan's face brought tears that fell slowly. I don't know what's on the young man's mind.

Zara glanced back through the central rearview. Instead of feeling sad about not being able to play with Aron again, Nevan's face was confused by the reflection of street lights that did not illuminate the car outside.

"Darling, have you seen Nevan?" Zara asked Nathan who was focused on his path. "I thought he'd be happy to be back with Aron, but even today he looks more indifferent."

Nathan looked at Zara for a moment with raised eyebrows. "I'm not sure, Za. But it looks like we should talk to him. There's something we want to convey, but hold back" Nathan said as he rubbed his daughter's head.

They continued traveling in silence, the only audible sounds being the sound of a car engine and the sound of instrumental music from an almost inaudible radio. 

A few minutes later, their car entered the street of the mansion that had started to get crowded. Their gates bearing the words "Zara-Nathan" were wide open, ready to welcome their return.

After the car is parked, Zara and Nathan bring their children into the house. Nevan naturally headed to his room to unwind. Zara glanced at her eldest son who was running lethargic.

"Do we have to talk to him now?" Zara asked Nathan with a worried look.

"We'd better give him time."Nathan looked at Zara and exhaled a heavy breath,.

Nathan proposes that they talk to Nevan at a better time. "We'd better love Nevan time. Maybe he was tired or overwhelmed by something. After resting, tomorrow we try to ask what's going on in his heart."

Zara nodded in agreement as she looked towards Nevan's already closed room. Next, Zara and Nathan rush to fix Nessa who is still excited about the story. 

The three of them enjoyed their time together before Zara finally took Nessa to her room to prepare for bed.

"Now when the fairy tale before going to bed, huh?" asked Nessa with sparkling eyes.

Zara smiled gently and nodded. He began to tell the story of the Adventures of the Little Child in the Miraculous Forest, full of imagination and extraordinary expression. 

Meanwhile, Nathan checks the door and window of his room, making sure everything is locked safely before he joins his wife and daughter.

The night passed quickly. The next day, the dazzling sunlight affected the sincere atmosphere inside the house. 

After preparing breakfast, Zara put a soft hand on Nathan's shoulder.

 "It's time we talk to Nevan" he said slowly, expressing long-buried worry.

Nathan nodded in agreement and gulped his saliva, feeling tense for fear of facing the fact that his son was going through a difficult time. As soon as they arrived at Nevan's doorstep, Nathan took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Nev, can Papa and Mama come in to talk for a minute?" nathan asked, trying to sound calm and confident.

From inside the room, Nevan replied in a weak voice, "Papa, Mama, please just come in. I'm not the key."

The couple carefully opened the door to Nevan's room, where they found her sitting on the edge of her bed in anxiety. His face looked pale and hesitant, as if worried about what they were going to say.

Zara sat down next to Nevan and gently clasped her hand. "Nev, we know that something is troubling you. Tell us what's wrong, and we'll do our best to help" Zara said in a voice of care and love.

Nevan took a deep breath, washing her face for a moment before continuing in a weak and broken voice. "I feel far away from all of you. I felt unconnected, as if the world was spinning without me. Ever since Nessa came, I've felt more and more marginalized, like seeing happiness.

Nathan and Zara exchanged glances, feeling the pain in their hearts hearing the statement of the eldest son being so open. 

Zara rubbed Nevan's back affectionately, trying to strengthen her heart to deal with the situation.

"Nevan, we apologize if your feelings are hurt," Zara said softly, clasping her limp hands. 

"We never meant to make you feel neglected. As parents, sometimes we also have to learn to be more sensitive to the feelings of our children." Zara almost had tears streaming down her cheeks, but the woman rubbed them.

Nathan joins them and touches Nevan's face expectantly. "My son, know that you are an important part of this family. We love and appreciate your presence.  So is Nessa your sister too."

Nevan turned her gaze down, trying to hide her tears that were beginning to abound. He tried to say, "I'm afraid that my family would be happy without me... So, I chose to stay away because I didn't want to look fragile or weak."

Hearing that, Nathan and Zara looked at each other, understanding each other. They were all trying to hide their concerns about the family that bore the pain.

"It's time we all learned" Nathan said wisely, until his gentle voice calmed Nevan's weak heart. 

Zara added in a straightforward manner, "We should take the time to talk to each other, share, and be open about our feelings as well as our concerns. We are a family, and only together can we face challenges in life."

Listening to what his parents said, Nevan felt better. He was not alone in his struggles; his family, his mother, and his Father were also fearful about how to live life as a unit.

From then on, Zara and Nathan began spending more time with Nevan, Nevan, and other family members, ensuring that no one felt neglected or unappreciated. 

They teach their children the importance of honesty, communication, and compassion, as well as grasping a new dawn for a closer, closer and happier family.

The family lives of Zara, Nathan, Nevan, and Nessa become increasingly warm and harmonious as time passes. 

They begin to better understand and appreciate each other, as well as face conflict with a much more open and empathetic feeling.

Every weekend, Zara and Nathan take turns organizing family activities involving them all. Starting from a picnic in the park, going to the cinema together, to volunteering at a local orphanage. By doing activities together, both Nevan and Nessa feel valued and involved in family togetherness.

This decision brought about a huge positive change in their lives. Nevan, in particular, is getting closer to her sister Nessa. Now, the two children can communicate and support each other and spend time together without jealousy or growing isolated.

Slowly but surely, Nevan begins to discover the power within her that has been hidden behind her fears. He becomes more caring, responsive, and resilient in challenging situations, making him more confident to face the blows of life.

Not long after, Nevan's better feelings begin to have an impact on her lessons and social skills. He can concentrate better in school, get better grades, and make new friendships through honesty and mutual trust.

As time passes, Zara and Nathan's family increasingly realize how important it is to value each other and take the time to strengthen their family bonds. 

Even their rarely met relatives like Alea and her family began to feel positive changes in their family atmosphere.

Every time Alea visited the Zara and Nathan families, the atmosphere became even more cheerful and harmonious. Nevan and Nessa love to play with Alea, and the three children model for the other children in their extended family on how important healthy relationships and mutual understanding are.

Throughout the years that passed, the Zara and Nathan families continued to grow peacefully and colourfully. Each family member finds their way to stay connected and create invaluable memories together, making them even tighter and beyond the limits of happiness.

They are not only a happy family but also an inspiring example for their relatives and friends, about the importance of open communication and respect in establishing strong relationships in the family.

Zara, Nathan, Nevan, and Nessa face each day with gratitude and confidence that their families will continue to thrive in unrelenting love, compassion, and happiness. And in life

Similarly Nevan, with renewed determination and conviction, began to talk more about what she felt and forge closer relationships with her family members as well. The lives of the Zara, Nathan, Nevan family and in their lives bring lessons learned along the way as a strong and harmonious family.

Zara and Nathan try to give Nevan and Nessa the best education they can. Both ensure that Nevan and Nessa feel encouraged and supported in pursuing their dreams, as well as getting used to the idea that failure is just part of the learning process throughout life.

On the other hand, they also take the time to reflect on their own family's success. They know how fortunate they have found each other and have fostered a loving and trusting relationship. 

Zara and Nathan value and support each other in their respective roles as parents, spouses and individuals.

Nevan, who has become a tough and humble teenager, becomes a good leader for her sister Nessa and her friends. He achieved remarkable achievements in school, both in academia and in various extracurricular activities. 

He also maintains a close relationship with his family and is ready to take on greater responsibilities when needed.

Nessa, who grew up under the care of her parents and the guidance of her brother, became a smart and talented girl. He has a sincere heart and a deep concern for those around him. He attracts many friends who like his warm personality and passionate soul.

Not to forget, this family still maintains strong relationships with closest relatives, such as Erlan and his family. 

During the holidays and family celebrations, Zara, Nathan, Nevan, and Nessa will unite with their relatives, creating beautiful memories and knitting the stories that will be told to future generations.

Zara teaches each other and the larger family members about the values of life, harmonious family relationships, and family relationships, and how each individual can contribute to creating a loving and supportive environment. 

Their attraction is a force that has supported them through the toughest tests and more alluring challenges of life.

On their journey as a nurturing and loving family, Zara, Nathan, Nevan, and Nessa discover that happiness and success are not the ultimate goals.

It is a journey that unfolds through every beautiful moment, dark day, and constant opportunity to learn, grow, and accept each other with endless love and affection.

Nathan feels grateful to have a wife like Zara because in addition to the wife, the woman we can be a true friend to him.

His love and affection for his wife grew more and more. 

"Zara, isn't this your favorite cake?" Nathan asked as he showed the box of cookies he had just bought at a pastry shop near their office.

"Wow! That's right, it's my favorite cake! Remembering it?" zara asked with a sweet smile to Nathan.

For almost six years Nathan and Zara have been married, they are a happy couple and love each other very much. Outside of their working hours, both Nathan and Zara enjoy spending time together and getting to know each other more deeply.

"Why can I re-channel my hobby?"

"You can always do it, honey. I know it's from your heart, that's why you always manage to write amazing stories" Zara stroked Nathan's hand. "I'm proud to have a husband like you."

This afternoon Zara wants to surprise Nathan. He had a pastry recipe with a delicious taste that he had never made before. This recipe is a legacy of the grandmother's family.

Zara remembers her conversation with her grandmother before she died. "Son, I want you to try this cake, it's our family's secret cake. I hid behind a secret kitchen table.”

Grandma gave a neatly folded paper to Zara. "I gave you this recipe as a sign of our family's love. Remember, only the person you really love deserves to enjoy this cake."

Zara said to herself, "This is the time, I will make this special cake for Nathan. He'll definitely like it!" 

Zara's smile expands imagining her husband enjoying it.

Nathan was in his study, when suddenly, the door opened slowly. Zara walked in with a tray containing a cup of tea and a plate of pastries.

"Hey, Honey! There's a special cake I've made for you" Zara said with a smile.

"Special cake? What cake is that? I've never tasted it before. The smell is appetizing!" nathan said as he smelled the smell of the cake that Zara had just made.

"This is a secret family recipe from Grandma. I made it for you because I love and appreciate all the things we have done together" Zara explained in a loving tone.

Nathan and Zara then both enjoy the cake.

"Enak, honey," praise Nathan.

Zara smiled faintly, the woman immediately came out as she was going to share it with Carla and her in-laws.
