The Love that is Haram

Matchmade

Ms. Hasna, who was worried because Nasywa had not given her any news, again expressed her concern to Herman. Hoping for her husband to find his daughter who has been more than 24 hours not coming home.

"It's been more than 24 hours Mas, have you heard where Nasywa is?"

Herman only clucked annoyed at Hasna's worries.

"Would we just call the police?"

Hearing the police say, Herman who was not eating did not also drink, Choking on his own saliva.

"Mas.." said Hasna holding Herman's back.

"What, Police?" herman asked, putting Hasna's hand away.

Hasna nodded her head and was confused by Herman's reaction.

"You think the police will process the complaints of poor people like us?

Don't expect Hasna. Even if we report. Most months later." continued Herman trying to fill doubts on Hasna's mind.

"But Mas, we can't stand idly by like this, Hasna girl, Bring a motor, What if something happens to her."

"Arghhh no, He's an adult Hasna, Mengkin he doesn't need us anymore and goes with a man who can guarantee his life rather than living with us!"

"Mas! How can you think like that instead of worrying?"

Seeing the suspicious look from Hasna. Herman averted his eyes and corrected his words. "E... I mean, maybe he got a job and is now staying at his friend's house. Don't worry, I'll look for him." Herman immediately left Hasna to avoid Hasna who kept asking about Nasywa.

Kenzo, who saw his mother standing at the door of Nasywa's room, walked away without saying a word. Sekar patiently followed Kenzo who entered his room and stopped at the edge of the balcony with his cold demeanor.

"So this is why you refused an arranged marriage with Mr Henry's daughter?"

Kenzo turned his face away from his mother showing his dislike. Indeed, since he separated from Nasywa, Sekar very aggressively betrothed Kenzo with Tania, the daughter of his colleagues in Singapore.

"Kenzo's... Mamih is talking to you!"

"And Ken has repeatedly refused this matchmaking. Ken said Ken can't marry Nasywa, but Ken will never marry any woman!"

"Not everyone has a successor, many people whose lives are just a piece of kara but they remain happy in their way."

"I'll never be able to persuade Kenzo in any way. Only Nasywa can do this." inner Sekar who then left Kenzo's room and returned to Nasywa's room.

Geck... Geck... Geck...

Ckleek...

"Aunty..."

"Tante wants to have a serious talk with you." with a stern look, Sekar immediately glared past Nasywa who was still standing in the doorway.

With a feeling of tension and slow steps, Nasywa stood up to Sekar who was already sitting on the sofa.

"Now listen to Me Nasywa, you know very well that your love will not be able to end in the guarantee. While time goes on I don't want my son to constantly live in these conditions, I want my son to have a life companion that he can marry and give him offspring. But it'll never happen as long as you're with her..." Sekar paused his words staring intently at Nasywa.

Nasywa who knew very well the meaning of Sekar's words felt so claustrophobic considering what he had done with Kenzo that night.

"Yourself..."

"E... Yes Aunt..."

"Tante knows you're a good boy, and Auntie sure you don't want Kenzo to keep going like this, Of course you want to see Kenzo happy right?"

"E... Yes Aunt." Nasywa confirmed every word Sekar even though his heart and feelings were torn apart.

"Then from that, Auntie wants you to do something."

"Do what Auntie?"

"Do whatever Nasywa does, most importantly Kenzo agrees to marry by our choice."

Like being struck by lightning during the day, Nasywa was shocked to hear what Sekar said.

Seriate...
