The Step Sister of Tiri

33. Wanted to the house of in-laws

Zayna felt hurt because her husband had lied. The woman did not expect that there were so many lies that Ayman did. He also never thought that the man was a rich man. Zayna was happy with this situation.

In the heart, there is a fear that the husband will leave because he is nobody. What else Ayman is a company leader, there must be many women who approach him. His self-confidence suddenly shrank.

"Is there anything else you're hiding from me, Mom?" zayna asked with the same face of her husband.

"Nothing, I've told you everything. The rest you can look for on the internet, there must be many articles about my family."

"Are your words to be trusted? Not that I want to doubt you, but after the lies you've done, it's hard to believe your words." Zayna lowered her head with teary eyes.

Ayman grabbed the wife's hand and held it. "Trust me, after this there will be no secrets between us. Everything I said to you today, it was reality. I lied about a lot of things. You also know the reason and there is no longer any reason for me to lie. Even if there was a reason, I wouldn't lie. Even if I have to hurt you later, I will keep telling the truth. I don't want any more lies between us."

Zayna looked at her husband. He could see the sincerity and honesty of the man. In her heart she asked, Should she give her husband a chance? Zayna believes there will be many obstacles later, given who Ayman really is.

"Honey, you want to, don't you, forgive me?" ask Ayman expectantly.

"I'll forgive you, but there's a condition."

"What condition? I'll try to fulfill it."

"Take me to your parents' house to ask them for their blessing."

Ayman was surprised to hear the request from his wife. It's not that he didn't want to take Zayna there, but that man knew how his mother was. Ayman is not sure if Mama Aisyah can accept her presence later at home.

Zayna has decided to fight for her household. It all starts with the blessing of parents. He was sure everything would go smoothly as long as his parents gave their blessing. How will it work, let the time determine.

"But, Babe—"

"If you don't want to, that means you don't really want to apologize to me."

"But what if Mom doesn't want to accept you? I don't want you to feel hurt because of me. I know how Mama. He will disturb your calmness and not let you live quietly."

"You doubt me, Mommy? I will try to convince him! We haven't tried, how could we just give up. The rest later it's your business to accept I don't. I guess I should try first. Trust me, if you don't believe it yourself, how can I be strong to face it all."

"Are you sure?" ask Ayman doubtfully.

"I'm totally convinced, but I'm asking you one thing, Mas. Whatever I do later, you have to trust me completely. I did it to get my blessing from mom and dad."

Ayman sighed and said, "If that's what you want, then let's go to my parents' house. You need to know, I will always be with you. I'll call Mr. Doni to have him book a ticket."

"Sir Doni's coming home too?"

"Yes, I wanted to go home alone, but Mr. Doni insisted on coming along."

"Please book the ticket tomorrow, Mas. You're the same Mr. Doni must be tired."

"All right, it's up to you" Ayman said. "Thank you for forgiving me."

"But I need to hear a story about your family, so I won't say anything they don't like. While waiting for the dawn of dawn," said Zayna.

Ayman also told me about his family, from childhood to adulthood. There are some things that make them laugh, to make them cry. Zayna was very happy to hear the story from her husband. This is what he had long been waiting for because all this time the man had rarely told me about his family.

"Oh yes, yesterday Kinan also bought clothes for you. Actually he asked me to bring him in yesterday, but I refused. He just said there will be a time when you meet and right, right, tomorrow you will meet. He must be so happy."

"What's right, Mas? I can't wait to see him" said Zayna. "Hopefully she's not like Zanita and Zivana" he continued inwardly.

"She's also gonna be so happy to see you."

Azan dawn reverberating. Both are preparing to fulfill their duties as Muslims. In his bow Zayna prayed that God might soften her heart. She hopes to have a family that truly loves her like her own daughter.

Like his wife, Ayman prayed the same prayer. He wants the relationship of his mother and wife to be fine, as his wish was long ago. The man did not want to force his mother, only hoping that Mama Aisyah would open her heart.

*****

Meanwhile, in a large house, Mama Aisyah was smiling herself, making her husband feel strange. Hadi was sure that his wife had done something.

"Why are you smiling to yourself?" ask Hadi while looking at his wife's face. They were at the dinner table, ready to enjoy breakfast.

"It's okay. Mama can't smile?"

"Mama just looked weird all of a sudden smiling to herself."

"Just let it go" said Aisyah Cuek.

Hadi did not ask again and continued to eat breakfast the next morning. He did not want to disturb his wife's good mood. The man only hoped that Aisyah would not do anything dangerous let alone harm herself.

"Good morning," said Kinan who had just come out.

"Good morning too, dear," said Hadi.

Just like the father, Kinan also felt strange with his mother who smiled to herself. The girl looked at her papa trying to ask what happened. Hadi only answered by kicking his shoulder because he did not know anything.

"Mom why smile? Got arisan?" ask Kinan.

"It's okay, just smile" he replied the same as before.

Kinan did not ask anymore. Just let her mom smile, hopefully that way her mom can think clearly.

After finishing his breakfast, Hadi and Kinan decided to work and go to college. Again Mama Aisyah just smiled, making the atmosphere feel strange. Both of them would rather see the woman nagging than like this.
