The Step Sister of Tiri

91. Explanation

“Mas, earlier ‘kan you yourself who said you want to tell me about the arrival of Vienna and tantenya. Why stay still? From just now busy keep the same phone or indeed pretend to be busy?" zayna asked as her husband was busy playing his phone.

“Iya, Darling. Immediately there is a message from Ilham,” said Ayman who immediately closed the phone and put it on the table.

Zayna looked at her husband. Be prepared to listen to whatever the man will tell you. He knew that their arrival would definitely hurt his heart. The woman could not close her eyes and pretended not to know. Zayna will face all, for the sake of her family.

“Dengerin me first. I'll tell you about the arrival of Vienna. I hope you will listen to everything I say and do not interrupt before I finish,” said Ayman, who is signed by Zayna. The woman felt that something was very important, so the husband said that.

“Promise first, you have to trust me,” continued Ayman by pointing his pinky. Zayna also greeted with pinkies.

“Yes, I promise I will believe you, no matter what.”

“So like this ..”

Ayman explained everything that happened in the living room earlier, without covering it up a bit. He did not want any misunderstanding between himself and his wife. Zayna listened carefully. As she promised, the woman did not interrupt what her husband was telling her.

Even though his mouth was itching to give an oath of absorption to Vienna. How could there be a woman like her, who could want to be a second wife. His first wife had honey. Especially when she was pregnant.

“That's it, Honey. Aunty Indri forced me to marry Vienna, but really I turned it down because I didn't want a third person in our marriage. You are my only wife, nothing else,” Ayman said solemnly.

Zayna smiled at him. “I'm glad you turned it down. I hope forever like that. I don't want to because sympathy makes you change.”

“I do sympathize with Vienna because her parents are gone, but that doesn't mean I want to make her my wife. There was no intention of me doing it. In my heart, there is no place for another woman but you. If there is also Mama and Kinan.”

Zayna hugged her husband. She already loved the man so much, not knowing what it would be like until her husband completely betrayed her. That woman wouldn't be able to get through the days without Ayman. Her life depends on her husband.

The man felt his clothes wet, surely his wife was currently crying. He broke their arms and looked at the woman's face and sure enough, Zayna's face was already wet with tears. Ayman tried to convince his wife that he would not betray her.

“Hei! Why crying? Didn't I tell you, I won't marry Vienna.”

“Mas, you have to really keep your promise. I wouldn't be able to live without you. If you choose to marry her, how will my life be?”

“I will try to keep my promise. If I break it, you can do anything to me. No, don't cry anymore. I told you I don't want to see tears of sadness on my wife's pretty face.” Ayman tried to wipe away the trail of Tears on his wife's cheek.

Zayna looked at the husband's face. Until whenever he would never be willing if the man married again. If Ayman chooses to marry Vienna, it is better for him to leave. Especially now that the woman is pregnant.

Memories of his past are back. Zayna doesn't want her son to have a stepmother. Enough of him who lives miserable, not his son.

“Mas, two more days Papa Rahmat's birthday. I can go there, can't I?”

Ayman thought for a moment and said, “We ask the doctor first, yes, dear. Can you get on a plane or not.”

“Iya, Mas. I forgot I didn't ask the doctor.”

“It's okay, tomorrow we go to the hospital, all of you I also want to see How my son.”

“Kinan,” call someone when the girl just left class.

“Ya, why, Ra?” ask Kinan to his friend named Fara.

“You want to go straight back?”

“Yah ... You don't want to hang out with all of us? I'm the same others already have plans to go with.”

“No, I'm really lazy.”

“What about Nico and Nayla?” ask Fara carefully.

“Not really, I just got word from Mama, if at home there is an event, so can not come with you.”

“What events are there in your home?”

“Ndon't know, anyway! Mama said there was important news, so we were all told to go home quickly. Can't go anywhere. Nih, just try to read the chat,” said Kinan while showing a chat from his mother, who asked him to go home soon.

“Ya already then. I'm the same other kids go first, bye ...”

Kinan waved his hand, staring at Fara's departure. He does not want to go along with other friends because of the existence of Nico and Nayla. Nico used to be Kinan's girlfriend, but behind the girl, the lover had an affair with Nayla— Kinan—'s best friend and without any guilt they were romancing in front of him. Even with his insistence Nico severed his relationship with Kinan.

The man also told all his friends about Nayla who had advantages over him. What hurt her more was that her friends had no one to defend her. Kinan hoped that someone would be angry with Nayla and Nico for betraying him. However, they only say that Nico and himself are not a match. Everyone congratulated Nico and Nayla.

Kinan waited for the taxi he ordered outside the gate. Not long after the taxi finally arrived, the girl immediately got up and left the campus yard. His phone inside the bag rang. There was an incoming message from his mother reminding him to go home soon.

“Actually what news, anyway. Until Mama is that excited?” kinan Gumam.

There's another message coming in. It was from his friendship group. A photo was posted there. Everyone seemed happy, especially the traitorous couple. Maybe this was karma for him for ignoring his mother's warning not to date.

“Neng, has arrived,” said the taxi driver to Kinan. Too late in daydreaming to make him not aware if it has arrived.

“Ah, yes, Sir. Thank you, this is the money.” Kinan went down, then went inside the house. Mama Aisyah was waiting in the living room.

“Assalamualaikum, Ma.”

“Waalaikumsalam, geez! You've been this a long time. From the wait also.”

“Ma, this is the fastest.”

“Yes already, you shower first, run out it help Mama nyiapin dinner.”

“Yeah, so Mama told me to go home for dinner? It's usually the same with Bik Ira and Zayna. Why now even ordered me?”

“Already, don't need much protest, fast!”

“Know that I didn't go home just yet.”

“You dare to go against Mama's orders!”

“Bare? Lah, don't. Later can-can my pocket money cut,” grumbled Kinan while walking towards his room.
