A Paid Husband
Chapter 68 ~ Become a Paid Husband
All the wedding preparations have been done by the Vero family so enthusiastically. Kimmy and Devano also help in every way, wanting all the best for Zaskia's wedding as well as Vero
Now,
Zaskia was trying on a wedding dress that she would wear later "My sister is very beautiful," said Devano moved, she shed tears unconsciously
"Don't cry! Leave your tears for the wedding day!" ledek Kimmy, he had never seen Devano cry before.
"It's so pretty!"
"Yes, Zaskia is so beautiful who was her sister-in-law!"
Devano turned towards Kimmy "What does this have to do with sister-in-law?" ask him confused, Kimmy chuckles
"of course! I'm beautiful, my son is beautiful, my sister-in-law is also definitely beautiful. Where there's our ugly family haha!"
"Yes, you're beautiful,"
Zaskia walked slowly towards the large mirror, looking at her wrapped in a bridal dress.
"Is-this me?" mumbling slowly!
It feels very different, Zaskia does not believe in her beauty that is more shining when using a wedding dress.
"Gee, my mother's daughter-in-law is so beautiful!" Zaskia, Devano and Kimmy turned towards the direction the voice was coming from, Chyntia walked up to Zaskia. He's peeping Zaskia's forehead!
"Beautiful!" Even her mother's friends cried when they saw Zaskia's beauty
"Nothing is as beautiful as this, what if it is helped with make-up? Must be like an angel,"
"Thank you so much for your compliment, Auntie,"
"Honey, from now on don't call Auntie again okay? But call me mama! Now, I'm your mama?"
Zaskia awkwardly nodded, Kimmy looked at her happily
"How wonderful is it to have a mother-in-law?" unconsciously, his mouth spoke. Devano looked at his wife "I'm sorry, because married to me, you don't feel the affection of the in-laws,"
Chyntia turned her head towards Devano and Kimmy, approaching the two!
"Son, now! Call me mama huh? I'll be a mom to you guys,"
Kimmy was moved to hear the remark, Chyntia hugged Kimmy tightly and affectionately
"This is your mother, your in-laws! It's up to you to say what but don't ever think you're alone without a mother. There's a mama here! Even if your mom is not your real mama but you will love you sincerely and try to be the best mama for you!"
Kimmy also felt moved, is this how it feels to be embraced by the mother-in-law?
"Thank you so much auntie,"
Chyntia releases her hug "Hey! Don't call Auntie again! From now on, the three of you should call mama okay? Not just a call, but from now on I'll be your mama,"
"Yes, mom,"
Chyntia again hugged Kimmy, Zaskia stared with teary eyes. After losing a parent, the three never felt the affection of a mother.
The three take care of each other and love each other, but the presence of their mother's friends makes the void a little filled
Perhaps, this was the reason her mother asked Zaskia to marry Vero, so that Chyntia could accompany the emptiness felt by her children
"Thank you Auntie, uh she means ma! Thank you mom for being our mom, for loving us,"
Chyntia stroked Kimmy's hair gently "You know? Your mother and mother-in-law have been friends since we were in junior high school! We were not very close at first, but the time went by we were both close! In fact, from some of our friends. Only the two of us survived the friendship until your mother died!"
Chyntia remembers the moments of her friendship with her mother Zaskia as well as Devano
"If we are not always together, but we are in good times or difficult! When mama's friends stay away because mama is down, your mama-in-law is always there for mama! She trusted my mom and helped me in my mom's tough times!"
"Ma, is your friendship never tenuous?"
"Honey, every relationship has experienced problems, even being a child and mother at once was in the position of misunderstanding! Especially just a husband and wife relationship or friendship! Of course we have argued! Misunderstand, even keep quiet and like strangers!"
"Why ma?"
"Because there's someone who doesn't like our friendship! He pitted against us and it was mama's fault! Mama who is provoked by emotions without listening to the explanation of your mama. Mama says rude things that make your mama sad, disappointed or maybe hurt!"
"Then ma?"
"We had no communication, even once met accidentally. We are like strangers who have never known us. That was when we were in high school! If he says, it's still unstable. However, that creepy moment was fortunately only once! After we settled the matter, we immediately made up and until your mother died. Our friendship is still warm!"
"Really, my mother-in-law is lucky to have such a kind and understanding friend as her!"
Chyntia shook her head "No dear! Not your lucky mama! But I am lucky to have a friend as good and patient as him!"
Zaskia walked up to Chyntia, crying and hugging her future father-in-law in tears
"Darling, what's up, son?" Chyntia was shocked to see Zaskia crying hugging him tightly. Kimmy and Devano
Chyntia's heart was broken hearing Zaskia's sobs "Honey, say something son! Don't worry mama!"
Zaskia let go of the embrace slowly, then she said she found her mother who had gone deep inside Chyntia
"Son, you want this wedding annulled?" Zaskia shook her head "T-no ma! Zaskia felt that she had found the figure of her dead mother inside her! Zaskia's always missed Zaskia's mom!"
Cynthia could feel what her future daughter-in-law felt, let alone witness how her friend loved and cared for her children.
"You know son!"
"Maybe, when your mom and dad were alive you thought they were just giving you a lot of material without your concern, right? You are wrong, baby! Your mom and dad love you so much, they always monitor you from afar! How are your relationships! They pamper you with material things, because they don't want their children to feel the hard life they used to feel!"
Zaskia fell silent, she had mistaken her mother and father first. Often Zaskia cried because her mother and father were just busy working
"They don't want their children to feel hungry because they don't have money, resist the appetite for junk, and see their friends wearing nice clothes, new toys without not being able to buy them,"
"Your mom and dad love you so much! They want the best for you. They worked hard for your future, but the greed of your aunt and uncle took your rights! Really am! If you find out the truth, you're sure to put your uncles and aunts in jail right then and there!"
Devano approached his mama's friend "Ma, that's it! Don't talk about it anymore. We've forgiven uncle and aunt,"
"No brother! Zaskia yet! Ma, just imprison them! They've made Zaskia and brother Devano live under the bridge first!"
Devano shook his head "No Zaskia! Don't say that, uncle and aunt have already got their own punishment from God. We don't do it anymore!"
"If Zaskia wants that, we'll put them in jail!"
"No ma! This is not all true. Kimmy, please make Mama and Zaskia understand!" Kimmy walked up to Zaskia and Cyntia
"We should discuss this at home? Don't think about anything else!"
Devano turned his head towards his wife, why did Kimmy not convince Zaskia as well as his mother's friend?
"Trust me, will you?" Kimmy, who understood her husband's thoughts, said that calmly.
Devano can only nod and surrender, the wedding dress selection session has been completed. The selection of the wedding dress is also without the presence of Vero, even Zakia does not understand whether this marriage is important or not for the man.
They also decided to go home.
*********************
Arriving at home,
Kimmy invites Cyntia to sit down, Cyntia comes to Devano's house because she wants to talk about Devano's uncle and aunt
"Ma, please punish them! Give us justice" Zakia begged her future mother-in-law, and she wanted her uncle and aunt to be punished for all her crimes.
"Zaskia, you'd better change your clothes first!" Kimmy asked her sister-in-law to change clothes, Zaskia did not argue! Like a little boy her mother had told her to do, Zaskia obediently obeyed.
Kimmy asked the waiter to make tea and serve a light snack
"Ma, please don't listen to Zaskia!" Devano pleaded, but Kimmy asked her husband to shut up
"My husband, I asked Zaskia to change her clothes not for you to talk to Chyntia's mama! Shut up! We'll discuss this after Zaskia finishes her dressing!"
Tea and light snacks have come, Kimmy invites Chyntia to enjoy it
"Ma, while waiting for Zaskia. Drink first, mama must be tired too, right?"
Chyntia smiled "Thank you dear!" He took a glass of tea and drank it slowly, and enjoyed the light snack
Shortly thereafter,
Zaskia came and sat down "You guys must have talked about it, right? And persuading mama not to report uncle and aunt?"
Zaskia alleged without proof, she was upset with her brother and sister-in-law that why did they discuss without her?
"Darling, you're wrong! In fact, your sister-in-law did not allow her mother and husband to discuss this before you!"
"Hubliness! Accusations without proof!" chirping Devano in annoyance, the embarrassed Zakia apologized
"Sorry ma, sorry Brother Kimmy, sorry brother!"
"Everyone is present, and can express his opinion!"
"Uncle and aunt should be in jail!"
"You're crazy! They admit their mistakes and repent. Is that not enough?"
"No brother! That's not enough! Can they turn back the clock and restore our happiness? Can they atone for their sins and let this orphan live under the bridge, even to eat must be a scavenger, if there is no money and the stomach is hungry eat the food used by others from the garbage cans that have just been thrown away. Can it?"
Chyntia and Kimmy felt pain hearing Zaskia's words, how much Devano and Zaskia suffered
"We are cold, in the rain and lightning so great at night without a blanket? The skin burns and hydrates due to the heat of the weather and no drinking water. Should we drink tap water from a public bathroom? Even if there's no money, should we be sick withholding not to waste water or water?"
