The Love Behind Rejection

Sister-in-law

The dance that usually woke up earlier than Zafran, today was actually first by her husband. Zafran did deliberately wake up before Tari because he did not want to be found sleeping near the woman. He did not know that this was actually a devious plan from the woman who was currently still tightly hugging her waist.

Before getting out of bed, he stared fixedly at the beautiful face in front of him that now looks sad.

"This woman is quite attractive, deserved Zayn liked her. But Zayn was losing his memory. Too bad for you, Zayn must have forgotten you by now because his memory has returned "

Zafran whispered to himself as he gently stroked Dance's hair. But it did not last long as he then hurriedly moved from there before Tari woke up.

Though unbeknownst to him, Dance has actually been awake since. She just wanted to linger around her husband until she decided to let Zafran down first from the bed.

"You don't have to pity me anymore, Mom. Because soon I will also forget my memories with him without remaining when I have managed to make you love me." whispered Tari while smiling meaningfully.

That morning Zayn was already looking neat in his office suit. He stepped elegantly out of the elevator and headed straight for the dining table.

"Morning, ma." said Zayn to Elisha's mother who had been there before.

"By the morning too, dear."

Mama Elisha looked in wonder at his youngest son.

"Do you have an event today?"

"I'll rejoin the company, ma."

"really? I'm so glad to hear that, baby. Does your brother know about your decision?"

"I'll call him as soon as we have breakfast, ma."

"Yes, honey. Zafran must be very happy to hear that too.

"Yes, what about your wedding plans?"

"No change from the original plan, ma. Next week will be held in the morning and reception at night."

"Mama hopes everything goes well, baby. If there is an obstacle, you must know your mother. Mama will handle it."

"Thank you, ma."

As Zayn promised Elisha's mother, he immediately contacted Zafran after breakfast.

Dance was sitting at the dresser when she heard Zafran's phone ringing. He looked around the corner but did not find the man he called the snowman.

I don't know where Zafran went that early, but he has decided not to go to the office today.

On the first ring, Tari let it go on sounding. It was only on the second ring that he stepped closer to the phone and grabbed it on the nightstand.

Seeing the name of the caller listed on the mobile phone screen, Dance so undo his intention to answer the call. But it turns out that the caller repeated the call for the third time, making Tari so worried between wanting to answer it or not.

"But what if this is important, or something happens to Elisha's mother? Zayn is already in the mansion right now."

Given that, Dari did not think twice anymore and immediately shifted the green button.

"Hello.." he said a little bit.

"Hello, can I talk to Brother Zafran?" asked Zayn from across the phone in a polite tone.

"Mas Zafran is out."

"Is this my sister-in-law who my beautiful mother said?"

Zayn tries to joke around with Dance whom he considers his sister-in-law. While Dari himself did not know what to say to the man. Thankful that he could control the rhythm of his breath.

"I'll tell Mas Zafran when he comes back to call you back." he replied and disconnected the phone.

Zayn who still wanted to talk was confused by Dance's attitude.

"Sister-in-law why? Kog he doesn't seem happy to talk to me. It was different from what my mom said" she told herself.

But he doesn't want to be so dizzy. He just moved his lips a little and shrugged his shoulders, then went out to the garage to take the car he was going to use to the office.

"Who's phone?"

"From Zayn, mas. Sorry I was forced to answer the phone because it rang a few times." replied Tari .

In his heart was now more populated by cold men who were in front of him at this time. Until his heart no longer shakes when calling the name of his former lover.

"Zay? Is there any need for him to call so early?"

"I didn't ask him anything, ma'am. I'm just saying I'll tell you to call her back when you get back."

"Where are you from, mom?"

Zafran did not answer Tari's question, he just thrust a white plastic on the woman then took her phone and passed from the front of Tari.

Dance immediately saw the contents of the plastic and her smile again expanded when she knew it was pregnant women's milk. He had indeed forgotten to bring his milk from the mansion because of his hasty departure.

"This observation of yours makes me want to put your heart in my heart, mas" he said quietly which of course was not heard by Zafran.

Because Zafran is now standing in the balcony while calling Zayn's cell phone.

"What's up, Zayn?"

"Sir Zafran from where?"

"I've been looking for something outside."

"Is sister still there long?"

"I'll be back the day after."

"Is sister-in-law near you? I feel like he doesn't like me when we haven't met him at all."

"That's just your feeling. Now tell me what the hell are you calling me in the morning?"

"I'll be back at the company, brother. And I'm starting to get in today."

"Welcome back, Zayn. I hope you and Arya can work together well."

"Sure, brother."

"If you don't have anything else you want to say, I'll close the phone."

"All right then, brother. Have fun with brother-in-law and take good care of my future son."

Degs...

Zafran's heart stopped beating. He immediately disconnected the phone.

"These words should have come out of my mouth, Zayn."

"What are those words, mas?"

The dance that had been standing at the door heard all Zafran's words.

"It's nothing. Zayn just said he'd be back at the company today."

Dari knows Zafran is lying but he does not want to dispute it and does not want to also discuss about his conversation with Zayn. His heart was happily receiving Zafran's attention.

"Thank you, mas."

"Thank you for what?"

"You bought me pregnant mother's milk."

"I went to the minimarket to buy a shaver so I bought you too because I saw you last night not drinking milk."

"But I didn't see the shaver in the plastic, mas."

"I-it's forgetfulness in the car."

Dance knows the shaver doesn't exist. Zafran only still has the prestige to admit his concern for Tari.

"We'd better have breakfast now!" said Zafran divert.

He then walked into the cottage, followed by Dance behind him.
