I'm Not/Only a Shadow
S2 - Concerns

Early in the morning, someone knocked on Yasmin's door "Good morning to Yasmin"

"Yes. uh Jeromy ya" a man Yasmin knew while in Azka's apartment.

"Yes I sent Mr. Azka to give this" Jeromy handed over a big enough box to Yasmin "Mr Azka was busy with the preparations for the event later that night, so he just told me that at seven o'clock there'd be someone to pick you up"

"No need Jeromy, I can go there myself"

"I'm sorry I was just told to tell you" Jeromy resigned before Yasmin opened her voice again.

"Who's Yas?" ask the mother who just left the room

"Her man Azka ma'am, love this" Yasmin pointed to the golden yellow box in her hand.

"What's that?"

"You know it's like a dress.."

"You're a party?"

"God willing, ma'am, it's not good to be invited"

"Hmm just be careful" Yasmin frowned.

"Why mom..? I don't let Yasmin go, so Yasmin doesn't go"

"How come, I'm not letting you go, Dina is coming, right?" mother asked, yesterday Azka also asked Dina and mother to come but she refused, she said she was not used to attending such a luxurious event.

"So, he said later this afternoon abis college"

"Yes.."

"Why is it mom..?"

"You must be able to take care of yourself, you must be strong, and one must be happy!!"

"Mother, by the way, Mother.As long as there is a mother and King Yasmin will be the most powerful and happy woman"

"Mom is just a smile you want to open your heart." said mother lirih."I also thought how if our King found Sandi"

"Mom said what the hell I don't want, Sandi will take the King from us"

"The king deserves to know who his father is" Yasmin sighed.

"Later I thought I'd be ready for college first mom" Mom nodded.

"Yes already"

Yasmin departed after saying goodbye to the king who was still slumbering like usual the child was still sleeping probably because tired of playing yesterday.

"Yasmin said yes, ma'am, Assalamualaikum.."

"Yes the heart of Waalaikumsalam.." Mother closed the door after Yasmin left, when she was about to re-enter there was a knock on the door I thought Yasmin was back "What missed Yas..?" But when opening the door is not Yasmin who is seen but.. "You..?"

"Good morning ma'am" he said as he lowered his sunglasses until it became clear who the owner of the face was.

"Sophia.."

"Yes, I can talk for a minute, please"

Yasmin's lecture was completed at 4 pm and she was going home with Dina because she was going to be together.

Arriving at their home was welcomed by the King "Onti. bundta.."

"Hallo dear," Yasmin held the King "Today's no fuss?"

"Ndak kok" The king shook his head.

"To the clever child Mother. muach" Yasmin kissed the King's wrath. "Assalamualaikum ma'am" Bu looks like he's daydreaming.

Yasmin asked Dina to bring the King she wanted to talk to mother "Mother why..? is anyone in mind?"

"No Yas, oh yes you guys are the party right mending you ready" Mother diverted Yasmin.

"Later the ma'am was still late afternoon too, my mother had eaten"

"Yes, Yasmin went to the room and changed.."

Mother nodded after Yasmin's departure mother pondered again..

Adam's residence is all busy and preparing for the anniversary event to be held, which will be held, Alyla deliberately asked to hold it at home to be more familiar with each other they also did not invite many people just a few coworkers, just a few,Arya and Karina have come since yesterday because so excited about Alyla's words that will make a surprise for Azka, her match with Aira.

Adam had just arrived from abroad on business, he should have been home from yesterday but it turned out that the new job was completed last night and Adam went straight home,the one thing on his mind now was to meet Azka, she was late should Azka know early about her match but the busyness got in the way.

"Ka. can daddy talk" Adam went into Azka's room.

"Yes and "Azka and Adam sat on the couch in Azka's room "What's up.."

Adam saw his eldest son as unusual as brighter "You look happy..?"

Azka lowered her head while smiling "I'm certainly happy" said Azka.of course she was happy because her love had just been welcomed although not yet fully and just the experimental stage.

"What makes you so happy?" ask Adam.

"Ehmm. Today I'm going to introduce someone to Dad and Mom"

Adam is "Someone..?"

Azka nodded "What is so special?"

"Yes." Azka answered and the happy hue never disappeared from Azka's face,

"Daddy know him?"

"No. Then I want to introduce you tonight dad" God what Adam should do, it turns out Azka already has her own choice.

Adam sighed "Azka heard daddy, sorry but daddy thought you liked Aira all this time.."

Azka laughed "Daddy what the hell, yes obviously I like him he's already like my own brother"

"Sister..?"

"Yes like Aya and fardhan"

"Azka. I don't know but your mommy thinks you like Aira" Adam started talking seriously.

Azka began to catch the worried gurat from Adam's face "I mean daddy.."

"We're planning to match you and Aira tonight" Adam looked at Azka with regret.

"What..? daddy must have been kidding" but Adam's countenance didn't change at all "Why don't I know. dad I don't really love Aira, and I do.." Azka rubbed her face "Did Aira know..?"

Adam nodded "Yes.."

"And I'm the only one who doesn't know.." Adam breathed "Good Dad, a decision this big and I don't know and that's for my life, you guys.." Azka was out of words.

"Daddy asked you that question and you said you liked Aira"

Azka thought a little and chuckled "Daddy asked me I like Aira right? obviously I'll answer like he grew up with me, he's like my own sister dad, I have to what " and don't forget his promise not to hurt Yasmin.

Adam smiled "Yasmin's name..?" Azka nodded.

"Your mommy thought by surprise you'd be happy" Azka shook her head.

Aira's screeching may have just come, Azka moved from her seat "I have to talk to Aira"

"Awka.."

"He must have known dad.." Azka stepped out of the room.

Adam sighed, this would be complicated Aira a little childish could he understand and Alyla his wife had been too hopeful, Adam sighed in frustration...

"What should Adam do Pa..?" ask her to Arya, apparently Arya had heard the conversation Father and child.

Arya approached with a stick in her hand, although it looks old Arya still looks handsome and handsome just wrinkles more visible from her, Arya rubbed Adam's shoulder "Papa believes you can be wiser Dam, papa believes experience teaches you everything"

_____________

Will Aira understand and let go of Azka to be happy with her choice?
