The Step Sister of Tiri

270. S2 - Adam's Story

Adam just arrived at the airport, the man immediately searched for the whereabouts of his sister. He went straight to the place, where everyone was taking his brothers away. Just now that the man arrived, Mama Kinan was seen walking out lethargic. Up here, Adam could feel something unpleasant.

"Ma, which Zea, Ma?” adam asked with a breath.

“Zea is gone. The plane has also taken off" Kinan replied while watching the son.

"Astagfirullah, so I'm late, Ma" said Adam with a bow.

He had already tried to quickly get here, but eventually the man lost as well with time. Adam could only regret it all. Had he been able to find out his heart faster, surely none of this would have happened.

"What's your hand, Adam?" asked Kinan when he saw Adam's scuffed right hand.

The man looked towards the middle, it turned out that there was indeed a wound there. It must have been because he hit Akmal. Adam felt nothing at all, all as if covered with his feelings.

"It's okay, Ma. This was not accidentally bumped," said Adam who did not want his mother to worry.

"Where there's a bump like this. You think Mama was stupid, you must have fought, right? Who are you fighting with? What's the matter until you're like this?"

"That's okay, Ma. Is there a next plane, Ma? I will follow Zea" asked Adam who did not care. Right now what matters is how to meet Zea.

"What are you doing to catch up with Zea? He's going there for college."

"No, Ma. It must be because of me too. I can't lose him."

"He's not going anywhere. He will also stay with Oma Aida, so you take it easy, don't worry too much."

"Ma, I just realized that I love Zea too. I don't want to lose him. I'm sorry if I let you down, but that's the truth. All this time I tried to cover my feelings because I did not want Mama and Papa to be disappointed. I'd be willing to bury my feelings for Zea by marrying Alin. I thought as long as Mama, Papa and Zea were happy, I would do anything, but when I heard Zea's departure, I felt like something was going away and missing. I can't live it, I just realized that love really has to be fought for, not as I've thought all along. It's the same way I hurt the people I love. Zea's been so hurt by what I've done. Especially with everyone's opposition, it must have hurt him a lot. I've been guilty to Zea, very, very guilty."

Adam bowed his head, to cover the tears that were dripping so that his mother would not see. Even though the man looked down, still Kinan could see because the son was indeed taller than him. The woman could also see the sad face of Adam, just as Kinan had seen his daughter. He realized that his two children were both harboring feelings, to make everyone happy, without thinking about their own feelings.

Zayna hugged her son, she was also devastated to see her two children like this. They don't care about the people around them, who pay attention to them. Let Ada pour out her heart so that the tightness in her heart can be slightly reduced. The woman did not want her son to be depressed.

"You calm down, we better get out of here. Many people are looking towards us. Come on, find a good place to talk!"

Adam nodded and broke down the embrace. The two left the airport and looked for a place to talk from heart to heart. Kinan also needed to know how to fill the heart of the son. The man decided to go to the park. Thankfully there were not many visitors so, Adam and Kinan could talk without anyone interrupting.

The two sat in a long chair under a tree. The place is also quieter than the others. The parents were waiting for their children to play.

"You decided to go after Zea then, what about your marriage and Alina's?" tanya Kinan started the conversation.

Adam took a deep breath, remembering what he saw in Alin's apartment. The man was forced to recount all the events before he knew it, Zea's departure. Kinan was quite surprised to hear that. How not, women who look so nice and polite, it turns out can do such an indecent thing.

Kinan shook his head, feeling very unlikely. But what if Adam saw it himself. Maybe if someone else were to say, obviously the woman did not believe it. Alin also looks very soft in talking to other people.

"Does that mean you're taking Zea on the run because your marriage and Alin's are off?" asked Kinan in a dislike tone.

Although Adam and Kinan were his children, he would not be willing if Zea was only made an escape. Even if it was by his own son. They are one family and do not want anyone to use each other.

"Perhaps if Zea stays home, I'll never realize how I feel, but now I've lost her. My world is empty, lifeless. I just wanted to beg Mama and Papa to bless my relationship with Zea. Whatever Papa and Mama will do and want, I will do, but don't separate us. I really can't lose Zea."

"Now we go home, you can talk to your own father. Ask her permission to get into a relationship with Zea."

Adam was silent for a moment, looking at his mother. "That means Mama agrees if me and Zea are with mama?"

Mama Kinan looked at Adam. "Mama will always support your children. Although there will be a lot of complaints from people around, but Mama is more concerned with the feelings of your children, but Mama also still has to respect the opinion of your father. Husband's decision remains the main one."

Adam nodded, understanding what the mother said. The two decide to go home and wait for Hanif to return home. Whatever his father's reaction would be, he would definitely accept it. Even if you have to be kicked out of that house.

****

Ayman, Zayna and Arslan are ready to leave. They will meet the woman who will be betrothed to the girl who will be betrothed to Arslan and also his parents. Ayman had already gotten the results from the person who had been sent, to find out about his friend's daughter.

It turned out to be true, the girl was very kind to anyone. Ayman believes that his friend Puti is suitable for the puta. Zayna also read what her husband's men had obtained. He was quite impressed with the girl.

However, something stuck in his heart because it turned out that the girl, liked an ustaz who taught at his father's cottage. Ustaz was the smartest and the most handsome there was. There was fear in Kinan's heart. What if his future son-in-law still loves the man.

"Ma, are you sure you will continue this matchmaking? Look at her already having a heart," asked Zayna who was hesitant.

"He was just amazed at the man, honey. Everyone has the right to admire others. They have no relationship. Papa believes that if Arslan and he get married, surely that love will grow over time.

Zaina nodded her head even though in her heart she doubted it. However, after thinking back, it was true as the husband said. He did not love Ayman either, but the kindness he did made him melt.

Hopefully the girl is the same, especially she has also deepened her knowledge. Must be more understanding about the duties and rights of a husband and wife. Zaynba did not want to interfere with his son's household. He's only in charge of delivering to the band, the rest of it's their own duty. Ayman and Zayna came out of the room, and Arslan was there.

The twins refuse to come, they prefer to be at home with their opa and oma. They also knew about Ayman's betrothal, but now even his son was betrothed. However, Ayman did not budge at all and continued to walk away from the room.
