The Step Sister of Tiri

9. Accept that match

"What's up, Ma?" zanita asked as Savina decided on the call.

"Your father asked Mama to buy fruit and other food. He said tonight there'd be guests, but she didn't know."

"Papa didn't say?"

"No" replied Savina. "Is that not the one who will be betrothed to Zayna!"

"Well, how about Zayna?"

"Yes, Mama heard a little while they were talking last night. When Mama asked, your dad said there was nothing."

Zanita smiled cunningly. She is happy if her brother is married, at least Fahri will not return with Zayna. Although she had already married the man, but her heart still felt worried if the husband returned to his ex's embrace. However, Zanita was also curious, what kind of man would be betrothed to her brother? Are the rich? Or vice versa.

"Well, you never talk about men?"

"No, Mama doesn't know. Yesterday Mama had talked about Mr. Warsiman's son, but papa was angry and forbade Mama to discuss the man. Everyone knows how he is."

It seems impossible if the young man. Although Grace did not love Zayna very much, the man still cared for all his children. Then who will be betrothed to the eldest daughter of this family?

"Would you like to go to the supermarket?"

"No, Ma. Soon Mas Fahri will be home. Mama's with Zivana."

Savina nodded and passed towards Zivana's room.

"Na, take a walk, yuk! Next Monday we can have a night shift, can not walk," Alifia asked.

"Catsau, Al. Papa's been waiting for me to come home late today."

"Well .. What is the event?"

"I don't know, I didn't say this morning. At lunch, papa sent a message, " said Zayna by walking forward.

"You're hiding something from me, aren't you?"

"Hide what? There's nothing!"

"You can't lie to me, Na."

Zayna breathed in slowly and replied, "I don't know my plan myself, but it seems to have something to do with my future husband."

"Prospective husband? Whatchu mean? Don't joke, Na. Your marriage was annulled just a few days ago, but now you want to get married again."

"Did I look like I was joking?" asked Zayna while sitting on the bike and looking at her best friend.

Alifia shook her head without making a sound. He was just surprised to hear the news. How could his parents find a mate so quickly? The wound in Zayna's heart had not healed properly, but was already faced with an arranged marriage.

"Are you going to accept it?"

Zayna shrugged her shoulders in ignorance. He did not know who the man he was going to be betrothed to. Actually the girl did not want to open her heart, but Zayna did not have the heart to see her papa was always gossiped people. At home also Grace always argues with the wife about her.

It was enough for the girl to be a burden on her papa. He can also leave this house quietly if married later. Zanita is married. Zivana has also graduated from college even though he has not worked so, the burden of his papa has reduced.

"Oh, yeah, Al. I'll go back, see you tomorrow" said Zayna who immediately turned on her bike and immediately drove away from the restaurant.

The marriage for Zayna was to perfect the faith. He wants to have a good husband in his worship and daily life. Able to guide himself and his children to the right path.

Too late in his daydream, did not feel the end at home. It also coincides with Fahri who just got home from work. Zanita who was waiting in front of the house immediately hugged the husband with a friendly, as if showing her brother if no one can seize the man.

"Assalamualaikum" said Zayna who entered the house first, followed by Fahri and Zanita behind him.

"At home there is no one so do not have to say hello," said Zanita with ketus.

Zayna did not answer. He continued his steps to the room. The girl did not want to argue with her sister, it was useless, she thought.

"Where is everyone going, honey?" fahri asked as soon as he entered the room.

"Mama equals Zivana to the supermarket. Papa said phone call to buy the same fruit cake or whatever, I don't know."

"What do you want to do?"

"Mama said, maybe papa wants to mate Kak Zayna with someone, but she didn't know."

Instantly, Fahri's movement that was unbuttoning clothes stopped. The corner of his heart was not willing if Zayna belonged to another man, but he could do nothing. Fahri already has a wife and the woman is the sister of his former lover. He is a man who has no heart.

Zanita who saw Fahri was silent was furious. It turns out that her husband has not completely forgotten Zayna. But he didn't want to make a scene. Zanita will make sure her brother receives the proposal later. Regardless of who the man is and what he looks like.

"Do you want tea or coffee, honey?" tawar Zanita who deliberately wanted to disperse the man's daydream.

"Ko–copy only."

"I did it first, yeah!" Zanita leaves her husband. However, the goal is not the kitchen but Zayna's room. He needs to talk to his brother and make sure of something.

The woman knocked on the door of Zayna's room several times until the door opened from the inside. It looks like the brother is still in his work clothes. Without caring about the owner of the room, Zanita barges in just like that to upset Zayna.

"What's wrong?"

"There's something I need to talk to you about," Zanita replied curtly.

Zayna just kept quiet, waiting for her sister to speak. Not that she was afraid, the girl just did not want to look for trouble alone. If Zayna refused to speak, she would have forced him.

"I hope you will receive an arranged marriage papa," continued Zanita.

"You mean?"

"You must have known, didn't you, that tonight a man would come and propose to you so I'm asking you to take it."

Zayna laughed. His sister could have arranged his life. Regarding accepting it or not, she had indeed given up completely to the father, but that did not mean Zanita could interfere after the previous failure because of the woman's actions.

"I accept it or not, it's none of your business."

"It's also my business because I'm sure your feelings for my husband are still very big. You want to take it back, right? Don't think I don't know if you've glanced at him a few times!"

Zayna laughed again, this time her laughter was firmer. For him this was between not being confident and being shameless. Unconfident for fear of her husband being taken, shameless because she used to snatch his future husband, but now instead accuses the girl like her.
