Zahira still clearly remembers the incident two years ago when she returned home because there was a school book left behind, he saw his real father Arman Malik Ja'far rolling over on a bed without clothes with Sari whom he met as his mother's friend
zahira's heart was so broken and shocked to see something she shouldn't have seen. Zahira shouted and was angry at his father who was adulterous in his house with the woman who he said was a friend of his mother
"We did not commit adultery, Sari's father's wife so the father had the right to touch her and there was nothing wrong with what we did" the words were always remembered in Zahira's mind, how disappointed Zahira to the father who for 16 years of his life so respected and dear, remarried to another woman only two weeks after the death of his mother, even his mother's grave is still wet and the sadness after his death still Zahira felt strongly
actually Zahira is not a selfish child, when his mother died at that time, he also had time to think what if his father married again later....and Zahira's answer doesn't matter because her father deserves to be happy and not have to be tied to someone who's gone but what disappointed her most was her election time and the person her father chose as mother's replacement
Sari, is a person who Zahira knows as a friend of his mother who is said to love her mother very much but why did she marry her best friend's husband, especially with only two weeks distance....? if indeed Sari was right her mother's friend at least she had to wait at least 40 days after her mother's death instead of just two weeks away which was a sign that the woman was only a two-faced woman Zahira thought at that time
"Zahira" called the middle-aged man whom Zahira was well aware of whose voice it was
Zahira closed her eyes for a moment "if you ask me to return home, the answer is no" Zahira said without asking the owner of the voice the reason for the man's arrival
"you are a Zahira girl, it is not appropriate to live outside alone" said Arman Malik Ja'far, Zahira's father
Zahira turned to his employees "mba Ana, mba Ria and mas Ditto you guys go home first let me close the shop" pinta Zahira because she does not want her family problems to be a public spectacle
"yes miss" replied the three in unison
the three also do not want to interfere with their boss's family affairs so it is better to stay away, anyway seeing from the look of Zahira and Arman who are so similar, it can indicate that he is Zahira's father
Zahira looked at the employees who had left, he stared intently at his father "i am a girl but I can take care of myself" Zahira said flatly
"dad just didn't want you to be out of control and get involved in Zahira's free association" Arman's father replied
Zahira smiled wryly at his father's assumption of himself, whether his father forgot how he wanted to educate himself so far who always prioritized religion and self-preservation and always put his god before anything else "if that happens, it's a sign of father's fault" Zahira pointed to his father's face
Zahira was so upset with his father that he violated the teachings given by his mother to speak kind words and respect to his father
"for that as your father, I have the right to force you to go home" replied Arman's father no less loudly
Zahira screeched "Zahira doesn't want to live in a house with a two-faced woman like her" Zahira pointed at Sari's face right next to her father
"Zahira!" snapped Arman's father who did not make Zahira daunted at all "what father ever taught to be disrespectful to older people huh!" snapped Arman's Dad
"she's dad's wife so she's not another woman, she's your mother" Arman's father said
"she is indeed my father's wife but not my mother, my mother is only one, if there will be another mother, it's just my mother-in-law" Zahira replied there was no fear at all
Arman's father rubbed his face rough "our big family already knows father's marriage and they've accepted it so please don't argue with Zahira anymore" Arman's father asked as much as possible to lower his tone
"no one forced or asked Zahira to go home, either, instead, they asked Zahira to collect Zahira's inheritance from her father because two months later Zahira was 18 years old" Zahira replied
"father won't give up your inheritance before you get married" Arman's father replied
Zahira frowned "how could father take away the right of father's son huh!" annoyed Zahira
"dad just don't want you to be wrong in using your legacy and end up having nothing" Arman's father replied
"no need to be hypocritical, emang Zahira did not know that some of the land owned by the mother in the bank raised for the injection of capital of the father's company" said Zahira
"keep your words yes Zahira" Arman's father certainly did not accept being accused of that by Zahira
"Om Firman has told all the same Zahira, so do not try to cover it all from Zahira" Zahira had heard from his sister named Firman that some of the land belonging to his sister and mother Zahira was used as collateral in the Bank because there happened to be some land that is still one with his because indeed, the land owned by Mama Zahira is a legacy of the late grandfather and grandmother of Zahira from his mother's side
"you should know that you don't like your father in the past" replied Arman's father
"anyways I don't care well, I want all my inheritance back in my hands again after my birthday, or I'll get a warrant from Zahira" this time Zahira did not want to budge with her father because all the property belongs to her mother so her father had no right at all to take it let alone her father had married another woman and forgot his mother by so fast
"dad still won't return it before you get married, pity can hold it while you're not married, so just accept it" Arman's father replied
"dad threatened me" asked Zahira in disbelief that her father who used to be so gentle and loving to her even used to always give her whatever she asked instead now tried to usurp her rights
"if that's the case, then I will marry Zahira as soon as possible" exclaimed someone who immediately interrupted the debate between father and son
Zahira, Arman's father and Sari turn to the door to see who's coming . Zahira's eyes were wide open at the moment who said he would marry her immediately
