The Step Sister of Tiri

42. Pressures

"Enak is also now your cuisine. Although not very tasty, but enough for people who are just learning to cook," said Lusi to his daughter-in-law.

Zanita who was praised so was just silent. He was not at all flattered or anything. The woman was really lazy to argue with her in-laws, especially she was often blamed for all the work that Lusi thought was not right. Zanita used to be served, but here she served.

Yesterday she dreamed of becoming Madam Fahri who all just pointed out would definitely come alone. But now it's all just wishful thinking. If he did not obey his mother's desire to tempt Fahri, he would still be able to have fun.

"Where are you tidy to go?" continue the woman.

"I'm going to Mama Savina's house, Ma. I haven't been there in a long time" replied Zanita.

"Oh, yes, your marriage has been over a month. Are there any signs of pregnancy?" mama Lusi asked, instantly making the atmosphere suddenly become quiet. No one answered Lusi's question. Fahri and Zanita just look at each other. "Kok, you guys shut up, anyway? Mama, right, ask!"

"Ma, we actually agreed to postpone the pregnancy first. There's still a lot we need to think about for our future" Fahri told a lie.

In fact, Zanita is not ready to have children. He did not want to be bothered with the cry of a child. However, Fahri couldn't possibly tell his mother. However, Zanita is now her responsibility.

One thing Fahri dislikes about his wife's nature is that he never feels wrong. Every time there is a conversation between them Zanita is more dominant. No matter how Fahri explains, it is still the woman who feels the most right and does not want to give up.

"What did you say, delay? Why did you decide everything yourself? You married to have children. Our family needs a successor, too. If you postpone it, why are you married? Why not just go out?" asked Lusi with emotion.

He was very hopeful about the presence of a baby in his family. Many of his friends already have grandchildren. That's why when Fahri wants to get married, Lusi agrees even though at that time Zayna is not the daughter-in-law he wants.

In the end, Fahri said he would marry Zanita, of course, at that time Lusi was so happy because his education was also quite high. But now they are delaying it. He often dreams of having many grandchildren at his age who are not young anymore. Sometimes they are carried away by dreams.

Can he be greedy to have a good daughter-in-law and obedient. You can give a funny grandson.

"Ma, marriage isn't just about grandchildren. We married because we wanted to keep away from sin."

"sin? That's just a stale excuse. Where is the sin you said when you steadfastly betrayed Zayna? There is none, right! Anyway mama doesn't want to know, you can't postpone it, remember it!"

"Papa is done. Papa wants to go to work first," said Ma'ruf who immediately moved from his seat.

"Papa, right, just ate. It's also not half," said Lusi.

"Papa's taste is gone. For some reason lately, the calm at home is no longer there," said Ma'ruf who just went from there.

Susi just kept quiet, it is true that the calmness in this house is no longer there. He also forgets when they were last able to joke together. After Ma'ruf's departure, Fahri also left. Just like her father, she felt the same way.

"I'm done too, Ma. I'm going to work, and I'm taking Zanita to Mama Savina's house."

Lusi just nodded and did not say anything. Fahri kisses the back of the woman's hand followed by Zanita. The two left Lusi along with Bik Mina who was cleaning the kitchen.

In the past, Lusi often mocked Zayna, but the woman did not have any shortcomings. Everything Zayna did in Lusi's eyes was always wrong. Now when the mistake was really there, the middle-aged woman remembered her behavior and regretted what she had done to her son's ex-lover.

If time could turn back, surely Lusi would still ask the woman to be his daughter-in-law. However, everything was difficult, he had already hurt Zayna too much. If only the woman had followed what the husband said, her life would have calmed down.

"Mrs, why are you daydreaming?" ask Bik Mina who is done with her work.

"It's okay, Bik. Don't you miss Zayna?" ask Lusi.

Bik Mina frowned. He wondered why his employer. Why suddenly ask her former daughter-in-law? Though he knew that Lucia didn't like him at all. Is that regret now felt by his boss? If true, it feels too late. Zayna belongs to someone who loves her very much.

"Why silence, Bik? Just answer the truth."

"Auntie also misses Non Zayna, Madam. She is a good woman and also diligent. Always do all the work well. Auntie remembered cooking with her. He wouldn't let me help him at all, instead asking me to sit down."

"We're all stupid, yeah, Bik. Letting go of a diamond so precious only to pebbles."

"I mean, Madam!"

"Auntie, you know how Zanita is. She is very different from her sister. He can't do anything."

"Don't talk like that, ma'am. I'm sure Non Zanita will definitely want to learn and will be a good wife."

"Hopefully, but I don't know when it will happen" murmured Lusi.

While on the way, Fahri and Zanita had absolutely no conversation. The two dissolved in each other's minds thinking about what Mama Lusi wanted. The man actually also wanted a child, but there was no way he would force the woman.

Fahri could have forced him. But what about pregnancy and childbirth? She did not want her children to lack the affection of her parents. Let the woman herself think when she is ready to be a mother. Fahri hopes Zanita doesn't wait too long.

Not long after, the car finally arrived at the home page of the family Grace. The house looked lonely, surely his father had left for work while Mama Savina and Zivana were out of nowhere. Fahri doesn't want to know.

"Think carefully about the wishes of Mama earlier," Fahri told Zanita before the woman actually went down. The wife just kept quiet not to reply. She was tired of being pressed in-laws at home, now plus her husband.
