The Tarnished Wife

"Cleoptara Camilla. Can I kiss your forehead?"

“What does Zoey's forehead still hurt?” sanjaya asked her granddaughter.

Zoey nodded. “Still, Cake.”

Sanjaya holds her two grandchildren on her right and left thighs. “Rest and take the medicine so as to get well soon.”

Zoey nodded back.

“You guys if you joke carefully. No more chasing like that, okay.”

Zac nodded. “Good, Cake.” Zoey is too.

“Grandfather's grandson is smart.” Sanjaya hugs Zac and Zoey.

“Dad, in his tea!” Pinta Rara while putting the glass tray that the Aunt prepared in front of Sanjaya, Mia, Mirna, and Kemal. “Mama, Papa, Mother. Come on get a drink. Your journey is quite far. Definitely tired.”

“You didn't make Zayn drink too?” ask Mirna to Rara.

Rara glanced at Zayn who was also looking at her with a smile.

“This is his home, Ma. He can make his own,” replied Rara who also smiled grinning towards Zayn.

“Tega once you, Ra,” ledk Kemal.

“Rara is so, Pa. If the same Zayn innan sewot mulu,” said Zayn.

Zayn and Rara looked at each other. However, everyone there can see the love of these two people.

“That's the name hate but love. Isn't that right, Ra?” tanya Mirna put Rara to shame.

“What the hell, Ma.”

And then everyone there laughed.

Mirna and Kemal can see the happiness from the faces of Rara and Zayn who display a shy smile on their lips.

Now, Mirna and Kemal have seen Zayn happy. They also want to see their son happy. After this, Mirna and Kemal will go to Bandung to visit Manda's house. Although Mirna still could not accept Manda as the wife of her son, the woman who had damaged the household of the son. However, they still want to meet their grandchildren and still support Reza. Although Reza has disappointed them with his actions, but parents are still parents who will always forgive their children.

“Keep, the plan is when is your Mommy and Daddy here, Zayn?” sanjaya asked the man sitting opposite her.

Zayn looks tense facing Sanjaya, even though this is not the first time he talks with Rara's father.

“Lusa, they will be here, Father,” Zayn replied.

“Good then.”

Rara was confused by what the parents and Zayn were talking about. In this living room sits Rara's parents, Zayn's adoptive parents along with Rara and Zayn himself. Zac and Zoey are taken to the second floor by Michelle and Jack. Michelle and Jack are back. It turned out that they only went out for a while to buy cakes for the parents who were there.

“Oh yes, we've talked so far. Didn't anyone ask Rara to agree?” ask Mia.

“Agree what, Bun?” Rara asked back.

“Loh, Zayn didn't tell you?” ask Mirna.

Rara shakes.

“Zayn,” Mirna rounded her eyes towards Zayn.

“Rara would agree, Ma. Bun. Because it's for Zac and Zoey's sake,” Zayn replied.

“Means?” asked Rara again while advancing her body to listen more intently to this conversation.

“Zayn asked you to Dad,” Sanjaya said. “Isn't your id time over?”

Rara nodded. “Ya, yesterday.”

It turns out that Zayn's prediction was wrong, Rara's idahic time was much faster than he expected.

“Zayn wants to marry you soon, Son,” Mia said. “You want to, right?”

Rara rounded her eyes towards Zayn. He did not think that Zayn was this close. He didn't even know Zayn's plan today.

Zayn looked at Rara. He was anxious, waiting for an answer from the mother who gave birth to her children.

“Yes, I want to marry you, Ra. I want Zac and Zoey to have full parents and perfect affection. I want us to raise them together.”

Rara remained silent. Sometimes he looks at Mia and Sanjaya. They also nodded. He looked at Mirna and Kemal, and they did the same.

“Is this not too fast?” ask Rara.

“They need you, dear,” said Mirna by staring at Zac and Zoey peeking out of the upstairs fence.

Rara looked up and saw the faces of Zac, Zoey, and Michelle. They sit while peering on the sidelines of the fence on the second floor in the form of “U”. The fence can be seen the side of the living room from up there.

“Say yes, Miss,” said Michelle from the second floor.

“Say Yes, Mom,” Zac and Zoey follow.

Rara lowered her head, then looked towards Zayn. He took a rough breath while saying basmalah as the beginning in expressing his decision.

Rara nodded.

“You want?” ask Zayn again to convince Rara's decision.

Rara nodded her head again.

“Yes, Rara wants to be Zayn's wife, Bun. Father.”

Zayn instantly exhaled his coarse breath. It feels good to hear that phrase. It really is like a dream. She never imagined that she would live with Rara and be her husband. All this time, he was quite happy to have Zac and Zoey by his side. For five years on her own, she was searching for a new mom for Zac and Zoey. However, he never found a woman who fit and fit in his heart. Though all friends, family has introduced him to all forms of women and their characters. But Zayn still did not want to.

And, maybe this is the answer to the unattractive on a type of woman who is often proffered by friends, friends, and relatives when she lives in Paris.

Zayn smiled towards Rara with a faint smile. Rara just smiled thinly. He does not know if he will be able to serve Zayn because he is still traumatized by Zayn's mistakes first. I don't know? He made this decision only for Zac and Zoey. Rara wants to give the affection that has not been obtained from the twins for five years.

Zac went down, followed by Zoey.

“No, don't run! Zacs .. Zoey.” Michelle chased both of her ponies.

“Mommy ...” shouted Zac and Zoey who wanted to hug his mother.

Sontak Zayn and Rara got up and ran to the stairs to catch their two children who went down the stairs.

“Zoey, you're still sick. Don't run!” zayn's orders captured his daughter's body.

Rara has captured her son's body.

“We're happy, Dad,” says Zac.

“So Mommy will stay with us?” zoey and Zayn asked.

“Start today?” ask Zoey again.

“Not yet dear, Daddy must marry Mom first,” replied Zayn.

“But earlier Mommy said, Mommy will stay here,” said Zac.

Zayn turned towards Rara. “Really?”

Rara nodded. “I promised Zoey. I happen to be given two days off, while taking care of Zoey until she recovers.”

Zayn smiled grinning. “Then I will hasten our marriage.”

“Yes, Zayn. If you need the day after tomorrow. Ask your father to leave tomorrow,” Sanjaya chirped with footsteps approaching the little family.

“Good idea, Well,” says Zayn.

“Daddy ..” whine Rara.

Zayn smiled and hugged his in-laws. “Thank you for the suggestion Father.”

“Zayn, next week only,” said Rara.

Zayn shook his head and smiled cunningly, upsetting Rara. Zayn's smile grew even more to see the pouting lips. Adorable.

“I married and married Ananda Zayn Pradipta to my daughter Cleopatra Kamila bint Ahmad Sanjaya with a dowry a set of prayer tools and gold two hundred grams paid in cash.”

Sanjaya tightened the grip of his hand that had been grasped by Zayn's right hand, so that Zayn connected the sentence he had uttered earlier.

“I received the marriage and marriage of Ananda Cleopatra Kamila bint Ahmad Sanjaya with the dowry paid in cash.”

“Sah.”

“Sah.”

“Sah.”

After saying that word, Pak Pengulu raised both his hands which followed the bride and all the people present there. The pengupulu also said a series of prayers after the ijab qobul spoken by Zayn loudly without pause was finished.

With a single breath, Rara finally became a part of her breath.

Zayn rubbed his face long enough. He prayed with tears in his eyes. He promised to make Rara happy. He promised that no tears would come after this from Rara's eyes out of sorrow. He will not waste the opportunity God has given him.

Rara rubbed her face for a long time. He just asks for the best. She will strive to be a good wife to Zayn and a good mother to Zac and Zoey. Although Rara still does not know for sure if she can be a good wife for Zayn because of course after this they will face awkwardness when living on one roof.

Zayn turned his head towards Rara and Rara as well. They look really awkward.

“Kiss your husband's hand, son,” says Mia.

Rara was silent for a moment and Zayn stood in front of Rara and extended his hand until Rara finally raised her right hand to accept the helping hand and kissed the back of Zayn's hand.

“Cium ... Kiss ...” cried Michelle, Jack, Zac, Dan Zoey, making Zayn smile clumsily.

“Kiss Rara, Zayn,” said Mirna and Clara alternately.

Sanjaya, Kemal, and Marco just smiled at the clumsy bride.

Zayn advances his body until he and Rara are spaced out without distance. Then Zayn brought his face closer to Rara's.

“Cleopatra Camilla. Can I kiss your forehead?” zayn asked softly, until the voice could only be heard by Rara.

Rara nodded and closed her eyes.

Then Zayn kissed the forehead affectionately in front of the friends and relatives who witnessed this marriage.

The cheers of everyone who saw the friendly scene. The aroma of chemistry of the two brides was so strong that it was up to all the people present there.

Zayn's mistake is not necessarily lost from the memory of Rara and Zayn is aware of it. Zayn won't force Rara. Let time break that awkwardness.
