Cousin, Make Me Your Wife
Expressing Feelings (Hasan)

"Izin's? What permission do you mean?" Umma Yuna spoke with a sharp voice. For the first time he vented his anger on Hasan.

"I want to marry Aunt and Om Zain's daughter, I want to make Alkea mine. Please, let me do that." Hasan cupped both hands in front of his chest, he did not think Umma Yuna's reaction would make him hurt.

For a moment, Umma Yuna was silent as she looked at Hasan with a sharp look. His forehead wrinkled, he really did not expect to hear the spontaneous speech of his nephew.

Marrying his daughter, Umma Yuna will never be easy to say yes. Moreover, his daughter was already injured by the rejection of Hasan who had been burdening him.

"Do you think Auntie would say yes? It won't." Babe Umma Yuna, he pointed at Hasan as if he was talking to his old enemy.

"You know my daughter loved you for a long time, but you just kept ignoring her. You think Auntie would be easy to say yes after knowing what she's been through all this time? You're scaring me, Hasan. Aunty creeps around you." Umm Yuna got up from her seat, she looked at the pale face of Alkea from behind the glass door leaf.

Alkea's face looks swollen, understandably, his head had hit the pavement and slightly injured his left cheek.

"If you say that right before this happens, Auntie will definitely be the happiest person.

But not anymore, Auntie doesn't want to tie you to Alkea. Because Auntie can't guarantee you'll make her happy." Complain Umm Yuna with eyes that were still wet, she looked back at Hasan with a look of disbelief. Can't believe that his nephew can make his Alkea happy.

"Tante, please. Please give me your permission, I promise I'll make Alkea..."

"Suffer!" Cut Umma Yuna into pieces, she brushed off Hasan's hand which was currently clutching her fingers.

"I'm sorry Aunt Hasan, Auntie doesn't trust you anymore. How can Aunt trust you in this short amount of time?

Aunty will take Alkea away as soon as she returns. So, you better get back on..." Not yet finished Umma Yuna's speech, the bride-to-be canceled Hasan came to the hospital with his parents. The face that had been beautiful and filled with smiles now turned dark and filled with anger.

Left in front of a hiker just to chase another woman, what else is worse than this? Should Dira be angry and punish everyone involved in this matter? Indeed, Dira's anger will explode, he wants to beat Hasan who has been playing tricks on him. More than wanting to beat Hasan, he wanted to destroy the figure that had made him unsafe, who else if not his annoying cousin lover, Alkea.

"Darling, why are you here? Aren't we getting married? Come on, we gotta go! The ruler is waiting for you." Dira's great-grandson as soon as he stood in front of Hasan.

All eyes looked at Dira with a look of disbelief, the girl behaved as if nothing had happened. He embraced Hasan very tightly making Umma Yuna again feel annoyed.

"Darling, I know you never told me you loved me. So now prove it, we have to go back to the hotel, we'll swear to live there." Chirp Dira again while looking at Hasan with a look of hope. He loved his Hasan very much, if he were to be separated, he would be lost in unrequited love.

For a moment, Hasan looked back at Umm Yuna who was currently standing next to Baba Zain, he did not want her to misunderstand and then keep Alkea away from him, thinking away from Alkea made Hasan lost his mind, I don't know when he thought Alkea was important to him, but all this time he always acted rudely to his cousin. And without thinking twice, he always pushed Alkea away from him. What was this how Alkea felt as he tried to ignore it? Empty and empty, those two things filled Hasan Dinata, and the presence of Dira in front of him made him feel claustrophobic.

"Come, baby. We gotta..." Dira pulls Hasan's arm, but Hasan violently throws out the woman's hand.

Dira was stunned, without saying a word he leaned his weak body on the tall body standing beside him, namely his Papa, Pak Handoko. Hasan's brief rejection managed to make him feel as if he was meaningless anymore.

"You're too much." Sentak Dira was full of anger. He grabbed both of Hasan's burly arms, and his round eyes were wet again.

"You're the one who came to me, doesn't mean you can go that easy. Is it for that woman that you want to leave me? Why didn't he just die!" Dira shouted in a loud voice, making everyone shocked because of his actions.

"I won't..."

Plakk!

Dira's words were stuck in her throat as a slap floated across the smooth face full of her make-up. This time it was the turn of everyone who was surprised to see the spontaneous attitude of Umm Yuna, Pak Handoko who did not accept her daughter was hurt looked wrathful. He wanted to avenge Umma Yuna's treatment but as quickly as lightning Baba Zain caught his hand.

"How dare you? I kill you." Baba Zain pushed Pak Handoko until the middle-aged man's body hit the hospital wall. He should not lay his hands on Umm Yuna, nor would Baba Zain's anger rise.

Knowing his papa almost fell down made Dira undo his intention to return the slap Umma Yuna.

"Stay away from my family, a woman like you is not worthy of anyone." Umma Yuna pointed at Dira Handoko's angry face. The lame girl would not be able to do anything, her words were indeed as bitter as gall and she had the right to say whatever her heart wanted, because Umma Yuna could still see the wound in her eyes, she said, but that does not mean he can say bad words about Alkea.

"I can understand your heartache, but that doesn't mean you can pray badly for my daughter. Just as you are precious to your parents, so is my daughter precious to me. You're saying why my daughter didn't just die? Why don't you go to hell!" Umm Yuna shouted back at Dira, there was no fear in the heart of a mother whose child had been injured.

Sympathizing?

No more sympathy for Dira from Umma Yuna, he was already disappointed when the woman said bad words to her Alkea.

Poor Alkea, he could not even see Umma Yuna's struggle to defend him. If he could see everything, he would cry on the lap of Umma Yuna while thanking her for every affection he received.

"Dira, go. Aunt please, don't make a fuss here." Ummi Raina who had been silent since then began to open her voice, she also felt sorry for Dira but there was nothing she could do but ask the girl to leave. Hasan was very stubborn, if the boy had said no, then the result would still not be. Ummi Raina knew that that was why she asked Dira to leave, this marriage should not have happened. Hasan's overly hasty attitude made Ummi Raina very angry with him. For what reason Hasan did all this, Ummi Raina really could not understand this situation.

"Well, that's great, Madame Raina, your son is wrong, but you blame my daughter. Do I have to award you the best actress for raising a son who's nothing more than a loser?" Mrs Handoko who has since pulled her husband to leave instead joined in this debate.

"Dira is my daughter, no one has the right to insult her. But the act of your son leaving my daughter for such an obscure woman, really makes me angry."

"Women are unclear? She's Alkea and I love her so much!" Hasan reported the news until the walls of the hospital shook because of it. Of love? From when did that feeling arise until Hasan boldly announced his heart.

Ummi Raina smiled, she was happy to hear her son's confession. While Baba Zain, Abbi Shawn and Umm Yuna, the three looked at Hasan with a look of disbelief.
