The Step Sister of Tiri

47. Back to work

After dawn, Zayna sat in the kitchen with Bik Ira. This time during the cooking, the woman was always smiling. Bik Ira who was beside him felt strange, but the middle-aged woman was also happy because she must be the daughter-in-law of her employer was happy.

Since Zayna's arrival in this house, only Bik Ira has interacted the most. The middle-aged woman was also pleased with the presence of her employer's son-in-law. It made him not lonely. With Kinan only when the girl is at home.

"Why, Bik? How, how about I like that?" asked Zayna when she realized that Bik Ira had been staring at her.

"There's nothing. Madam, definitely happy again, huh? Smiles all the time."

"Auntie knows it, but aunty can't! Don't call me, madam. I sometimes like to be wrong, when Aunt calls mama, even me who noleh. Just call me a name."

"Not good, ah, ma'am. Time to call names."

"Whatever, Auntie, just call what. Just don't be madam. I don't feel good about my mom."

"What do I call you?"

"Byeah, that's better."

"All right then. From now on, I call Neng Zayna."

"Yes, Bi. Come on, let's go!"

"Continue what, Neng. From that Neng Zayna busy myself I can not help."

"My aunt helped, too!"

"Yes, Neng. I've been happy since there, Neng, here. Every time I cook, I have the tea. Although I was just silent, but this kitchen felt crowded. Usually just my own aunt. The lady rarely cooks either. Neng Zayna's gonna be here all the time, right? Not moving house?"

"I will go wherever my husband goes, Bi, so if Bibi wants to know, just ask Mas Ayman," said Zayna by continuing to do his activities.

"Ayman will stay here. She's not going anywhere" said Mama Aisyah who had just entered the kitchen.

Zayna was surprised to hear the voice of Mama Aisyah. He had no intention whatsoever when he said that. The woman simply answered Bik Ira's question. Zayna was afraid that Mama Aisyah would misunderstand and be offended.

"Eh, ma'am, sorry," said Bik Ira who felt bad. Aisyah just kept quiet and sat down at the dining table.

"Mama, what kind of tea does milk have to make?" tanya Zayna tried to melt the atmosphere.

"No, I'm not thirsty" replied Mama Aisyah. "Not finished cooking yet?"

"Stay a little more, Ma" replied Zayna.

"Today you're cooking again?" mama Aisyah's question made Bik Ira speechless. "Bik Ira's job isn't there, dong?"

"From that Bik Ira help, really, Ma. The ones who clean up everything are also Bik Ira," said Zayna who felt bad about Bik Ira for taking on her job responsibilities.

Actually that's not what Mama Aisyah wants to say. She just doesn't want Zayna to be always busy in the kitchen. The woman did not want to make her son-in-law a maid. It's just that as an in-law who from the beginning gave a bad impression, it was difficult for him to talk and interact with Zayna.

While Bik Ira just kept quiet with his head down. He did not mean to neglect his duty because it was Zayna himself who forced him to cook. The woman had offered to help, but her employer's son-in-law refused.

"Ma, I just want to make food for my husband and family. I never mind doing it. I also will not forget my duties as a wife so, Mama do not worry," said Zayna who tried to position herself positive thinking.

"I–iya," said Mama Aisyah who was surprised because Zayna knew her point.

They eat quietly. Ayman occasionally feeds his wife. The atmosphere of the morning still felt quiet and cold. However, it does not reduce the warmth of a husband and wife. Everyone could see how much Ayman loved Zayna.

The man was not ashamed to show how much he loved his wife. Zayna also accepted it with pleasure because she felt that what her husband was doing was still within reasonable limits. Vienna saw it with annoyance.

"Today you work, man?" ask Papa Hadi.

"Yes, Pa" Ayman replied.

"Is Inspiration giving you your schedule today?"

"Yet, Pa. I called him, he said he'd set it up first."

"Tell him to clear up time after lunch. You replaced Papa for the meeting."

"Yes, Pa."

"Before you go to the office, you anterin Vienna first, yes, Man!" sela Mama Aisyah's.

"I can't, Ma. I have to go to the office."

"Just a second. You anterin him to the station. Not far away either."

"Don't he bring a car here yesterday? Why ask for delivery now?" ayman asked in annoyance.

"The car has been taken by the driver home."

Ayman let out a rude breath and said, "Let's be with Mr. Doni, just. I sent him a message to get him here."

"No way, you are the one who can't."

Ayman wanted to refuse, but Zayna prevented him. The woman looked at her husband as if to deliver it. Want to not want to, Ayman nodded. "Kinan, you will come with Brother, yes! After that brother take you to college."

"Yes, Brother. It just so happened that my car broke down so, all cost-effective," said Kinan with a smile. He clearly knew what his brother meant.

The girl was also not very fond of the presence of Vienna, which she considered a prospective destroyer of people's households. Kinan admits that Vienna is a good girl. However, if he comes to snatch the husband of a man, he is the first to hate him.

After finishing eating Ayman took Vienna and his sister to leave. The man said goodbye to his wife for work. Zayna kissed the husband's hand which the man replied by kissing his forehead. Ayman also said goodbye to his mother then he went along with his sister and also Vienna. He's gonna take the woman to the station.

"Ayman, may I ask you something?" vienna as they were on their way. Kinan who had been playing his phone, stopped immediately. Waiting for the girl to speak.

"Ask what?" ayman asked back in a cold tone.

"When did you know your wife? I've never heard of you being close to a woman. Suddenly today I saw you had a wife. I also know from auntie, said you haven't been facing reception?"

"Actually I knew him when there was a project out of town. I accidentally saw him helping an old woman. Not only did that make me want to marry her, but Zayna's beauty and sincerity made me fall in love. Let alone the aura, which no woman has," Ayman replied while looking at her past story, when she first met Zayna.

Hearing Ayman praise another woman, made Vienna feel jealous. He had known the man for a long time and his family, but not once did he praise him. Now he had to lose to a village woman. Vienna admitted that Zayna is very beautiful with the look as it is, but she is also no less beautiful.

"I just found out that Ayman can also praise women. It's always a bitch" Kinan sneered.
