The Step Sister of Tiri

45. Other Traits of Mama Aisyah

Dinner was ready for Ayman and Zayna to get out of the room. Both of them saw the existence of Vienna in the dining room. They thought the girl was gone, apparently not. Ayman was upset for fear of making his wife uncomfortable, but Zayna tried to say she was okay.

They could not drive away the guests who came. Moreover, it was her guest-in-law, after all the woman did not do anything excessive. If it will make trouble, Ayman is ready to protect the wife.

Ayman had always considered Vienna his brother. All this time he had always been good because he thought that woman was also the same as considering him a sister. But one year ago, everything changed. When the man heard Vienna asking his mother to talk to Mama Aisyah to match them.

All this time Vienna thought that Ayman had influenced someone to stay away from him. Though their relationship is very close, but suddenly Ayman just stay away. He also never again picked up a phone call from the woman. Every time a message came in, the man only replied briefly.

Ayman did not explain it intentionally. For him it is not important to explain. They have no relationship either.

"Papa Kinan hasn't come home yet, Ma?" ayman asked after sitting in one of the chairs. Zayna also sat next to her husband.

"Not yet, Papa said there was overtime. If Kinan has a task so go home a little late," replied Aisyah. "Oh, yeah, Vienna tonight is going to stay here, that's okay, right?"

"If I said no, would he go home right now? No, right? So why ask me!" said Ayman makes Zayna immediately turned to the husband. He didn't know if the man could say that. Whereas usually if Ayman talks to other people, he keeps the word he said.

"Come, Ma'am! We enjoyed dinner" said Zayna to melt the atmosphere.

He felt awkward with the girl in front of him. Just this time they met, not even had time to get acquainted, but the atmosphere had become like this. Zayna thought Ayman had a problem with Vienna before, making her husband dislike the girl in front of him. He wondered what happened to them.

Zayna thinks Vienna is Ayman's ex-lover and thinks they still have unfinished problems. Especially since the woman in front of him is always stealing to look at her husband. She was actually uncomfortable with the situation, but she could not rebuke him just like that. Afraid to say disrespectful.

"Oh, yes, thank you. We haven't had a chance to get acquainted. My name is Vienna" said Vienna, extending his hand. Zayna welcomed him with pleasure.

"I'm Zayna, Ma'am."

They continued to eat dinner quietly. Zayna occasionally talked to Vienna. Unlike Ayman who just kept quiet. Even Mama Aisyah only occasionally chimed in.

After dinner, Ayman took his wife into the room. However, Zayna first refused because she had to help Bik Ira to clean the dining table. The man let her go and asked to follow her to the room as soon as she finished. Zayna just nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Mama Aisyah took Vienna to the back garden to talk for a while before going to bed. The woman gladly accepted it. The two talked a few things, as well as about the Vienna mama.

"Tante, is there no chance for me to be with Ayman?" ask Vienna after a while.

"What do you mean? You want to be Ayman's second wife?" mama Aisyah asked in a tone of disbelief.

"No, I want to be his only wife."

"I know, Auntie, don't like Zayna. Why didn't Auntie get that woman out of the house and make me a daughter-in-law. I will definitely be a daughter-in-law that Aunt can be proud of."

Aisyah exhaled slowly. He did not know if Vienna was disappointed, but Aisyah did not want the girl to be a woman who had no self-esteem. He already considered Vienna like his own daughter, there was no way he could have succeeded.

"Before Aunt apologized for giving you hope and suddenly now dropped it. Aunty did not like Zayna before, but that does not mean Aunty has to destroy the Ayman household. You see for yourself, she's very happy with her marriage. He also loved his wife very much. Aunty is not a selfish parent who can justify all means so that all Aunty's wishes are fulfilled. As long as Ayman is happy, Aunt is happy too. Whatever Aunty did to Zayna. It was only to test how patient and strong she was to face the test as Ayman's wife. You know for yourself, being the daughter-in-law of this family is not easy. There are so many obstacles, especially women who always pursue Ayman. In the past, Aunty was almost desperate when she became the wife of Om Hadi. There was a woman who seduced him to the point of spreading false news that Hadi had impregnated him. You know, how Auntie felt back then? Aunt's feelings are shattered. There is not a single person who supports, Aunt to the point of doubting Hadi's feelings. Even Aunty left the house with Ayman, but thank God, Om Hadi can prove his innocence. Therefore Aunt wants whoever Ayman's wife is, she must be strong and able to face all the trials that lie ahead of her."

"Did I come here too, Auntie, take advantage of it as a test for Zayna?"

"It's up to you to think of it as what it looks like. Auntie also does not know if you will come here, but you need to know, that Auntie has no intention to play with your feelings. If you feel that way, Auntie's sorry."

Vienna lowered her head. A drop of tears fell down his cheek. It made Aisyah feel guilty, but she really had no intention of hurting the girl. The time is not yet right to explain the truth.

Aisyah clasped Viennese hands and said, "You need to know, Auntie always thinks of me like a Aunt's own daughter. Don't feel discouraged. Auntie is sure you'll get a better man than Ayman."

"Thank you, Auntie's been good all along. It takes time to forget the feelings that have grown, but Auntie don't worry. As time goes by the taste will surely fade."

Vienna tried to smile at Aisyah. He did not want to make the middle-aged woman worry. Just as Aisyah considered her like her daughter, Vienna also considered her mother.

"It's late, Tan. We'd better take a break. The night wind is not good for health" said Vienna.

"Yes, you also need to rest. Come on, let's go inside."

Both of them walked to their rooms. Whether you realize it or not, there was someone who heard all the conversations of the two women. He was deliberately hiding to be invisible. There was a sense of disbelief in what he heard.
