Sharing Love: Loving Myself And Herself

Season 2: chapter 9

Hearing her mother's question, Aisyah shrugged her shoulders a sign that she also did not know what the relationship of her brother and the girl named Mentari was.

"The hell you don't know, did your brother never tell you?" ask Khanza. Even though Azriel has explained everything, she still wants to know more.

"No, but a few times while walking with our sister met Mentari. The older brother looked very happy and noticed Mentari, who I knew was only living with her mother and they were selling cakes for her college expenses and their daily lives," aisyah replied that she was still eating the cake in front of her.

"Cake jars?" khanza asked gasped at Aisyah's explanation.

"Hmmm ... Aye." Yeah."

Hearing that there was guilt in Khanza's heart when the job turned out to be the main income in their family and Lucia insulted him earlier.

"Aisha heard the advice of mother, whatever the work of others you should never insult her, whatever the condition of others you should never insult that person even if you do not like them. Moreover, to the point of insulting their work which is clearly halal, they work hard to make money, he said, if we insult their work just because our work is higher than their work it will only make them feel hurt and not eager to work. If indeed we feel we are more than they should we encourage and share, not even discourage him," said Khanza who did not want what Lucia did earlier also done by his daughter.

Abidzar and Khanza were also very pampering Aisyah, she was afraid that if she arrived because of too pampering Aisyah, her daughter behaved like Lucia attitude to Mentari earlier when she was outside their supervision.

Farah who went down to hear their chat, he knew what Khanza said was something that offended Lucia.

Farah approached them.

"Aisha, you rest in the room. Mommy wants to talk to your mother" said Farah to make Aisyah understand and she finished her juice and chose to go up to her room.

Now at the dinner table there are only the two of them, Khanza and Farah.

"I know you must be surprised by Lucia's attitude earlier, I'm also very surprised by that. I know that's not my daughter's attitude. I always taught her not to be as disrespectful as she was to Mentari."

"Yes, I believe you must have educated your daughter well. I just did not expect if Lucia said that to Mentari, according to Aisyah Mentari could be considered the backbone of her family and selling the cake was their main income. I'm just afraid that Lucia's words made her not eager to continue her work, let alone the proceeds from selling the cake was also used to pay for her college."

"Yes, I know he must be a very good boy, independent and also smart, he's the same age as Lucia. However, he worked hard to finance his own life. Lucia shouldn't insult her like that, nor should I justify her sikan."

"Yes, whatever Lucia's time has gone too far."

"We can judge a person from all sides. Maybe she wasn't as lucky as Aisyah and Lucia who were born to well-rounded parents, but I could see if she was a good, hard-working kid," farah said making Khanza nodded in his affirmation.

"Lucia did all that out of jealousy for him."

"Jealous?" khanza asked with a questioning look towards Farah.

"Yes, Lucia the story if Azriel made the photo of the girl as her wallpaper, not if it has been to make a photo of a girl as her cellphone wallpaper the girl is a special girl! Do they have a special relationship?" farah's question made Khanza shake his head.

"I don't know the extent of their relationship, but all I know is that Azriel likes her and says that they haven't dated yet, but if Azriel had used Mentari's photo as her wallpaper, it seems they did have a close relationship, though Azriel denies that they were just friends."

"What did Azriel say if they were just friends?" farah asked making Khanza now nod.

"Yes, he said he loves Mentari and wants to express his feelings, but every time he wants to express it he feels nervous and afraid if until Mentari rejects him. Until now they are still together. We encourage him to express his feelings to Mentari, who knows Mentari likes him too."

"Yes, his father also agreed that Azriel tried to express his feelings for Mentari" Khanza said, although Azriel told him she had just wanted to tell Mentari how she felt. However, for some reason he faced off if his son and Mentari already had more than just friends, it is possible that Azriel was embarrassed to admit their relationship.

"Khanza, it looks like Lucia also likes Azriel," said Farah making Khanza look directly at Farah, the thing she feared seemed to happen.

"Did Lucia tell you herself?" khanza asked, making Farah nod.

"How then, what are you going to do? I can see if Azriel doesn't like your daughter, she only loves her as a sister."

"Can't we match them up?" farah asked suddenly made Khanza speechless, he also thought he would match them. However, knowing that his son seemed to like Mentari very much, it seemed impossible.

"How's it?" farah asked again when Khanza was silent and did not answer her question.

"I can't give you an answer, if you want my answer I'll say no! Because I can also see if Azriel likes Mentari, not Lucia. But the rest of us can talk to Mas Abidzar and Azriel himself, whatever happens will happen according to his wishes, we must not force him."

"Well, if Abidzar agrees, you will have to help me persuade Azriel."

"No, that's his choice, he loves who."

"We try to persuade him not to force."

"No, I don't want to do that. Azriel is an adult, she can definitely determine who she wants to marry. Farah I don't want you to interfere with children's affairs."

"I did not interfere, but Lucia liked Azriel, her heart would have hurt if Azriel had chosen Mentari. Khanza, it's not too late. We can still match them and keep Mentari away from Azriel."

"removing? What do you mean keep Mentari away? Don't tell me you want to do something that can keep you away from my son and the girl he loves."

"Khanza, don't forget Azriel is also my son and I also know what is best for him. I wouldn't have betrothed them if I knew my daughter wasn't the right person for our son."

"I know you love Azriel too, but Farah what if we betrothed them, but Azriel insisted on being with Mentari. Shouldn't we tell your daughter to save her feelings for Azriel, it's obvious Azriel likes Mentari."

They continue to argue, Khanza continues to want Azriel to marry the woman of her choice, while Farah still insists on getting them married. He did not want his daughter to feel hurt because of Azriel's rejection, he was sure if they were united to match them. Azriel must have listened to what the three of them said, Azriel the submissive son.

"What's this?" ask Abidzar who just came.

The two fell silent making Abidzar sit in the middle of the two staring at them in turn.

"What are you talking about so you look like you're fighting like this?" abidzar asked, still looking at the faces of the two.

"Mbak Farah wants to match Azriel to Lucia, she says Lucia likes Azriel, but I don't want to. I will hand the decision to Azriel myself. He wants to marry who, Lucia or Mentari, is" Khanza said.

"But, Mas. If Azriel chooses Mentari, my daughter will be hurt and I won't see her crying and feeling hurt. We can try it first, we can tell Azriel if we want to match them up and try to get them closer. We can also do a way to keep Mentari away from Azriel, we can do various ways if we really want both of them together."

"Who do you want to support, Mom?" khanza asked sternly looking at her husband, as well as Farah. She also stared intently at her ex-husband, now the decision is in Abidzar's hands. Whether Azriel's father wanted to support Khanza or Farah.
