Mahram To Azira
Chapters 14.6
AUTHOR POV
"The wrong way. But that's how God brought us both together. I will make no comment to Mother, for only God can judge her and she is no longer in this world. But as for you, I dare not make promises to you because we do not know what will happen in the future, it is the secret of God. But you should know that I will try to make you detach from the past and face the days ahead with a big smile. And me too.." Kenzie suddenly fell silent.
His black obsidian moved looking at Azira's expectant face. Azira's eyes were red, hiding the shame and sadness of the past, but the hope in her eyes shone brightly waiting for Kenzie's next words.
Maybe since the first time they met, which is when he saved Azira from an attempted kidnapping by the thugs of the mistress Bara. The impression that Kenzie got was quite deep in the heart. These eyes were the same as that day. There is hope, but then it turns into aversion, as if it is denouncing or belittling itself. Here's difference. This time those eyes had no sense of reproach anymore. But a determination of courage?
"Had accepted you to be my wife. Regardless of the past, I won't take it into account. One thing you should know is that your identity with the former is much different. Not because you have money now or are married, no, but because you are officially my wife. I cannot guarantee that you can forget the past with me, but I can assure you that by living with me, you will never repeat the past again. Because I'm not gonna let that happen. It's not just me Azira. But Abah, Umi, Sasa, Mona, and everyone who loves you. We're not gonna let that happen. Now you have to face life with confidence and confidence. Don't let us all down, especially my expectations, okay?" Kenzie continued speaking in a light but earnest tone to Azira.
Azira held her breath hearing every word her husband said. Not romantic words, especially full of love, it sounds awkward, but under the gentle gaze of her husband's almond eyes, Azira's heart felt a warmth that she had never felt when with others.
Not even Dad gave her this gentle and warm feeling, Dad never appreciated her and probably ever had any hope that she would better vanish from this world.
But in front of Kenzie, the man he had not known for a month had such a deep respect for him. He felt very appreciated and valuable in front of this man. God, how could she not fall in love with her husband?
He also did not know since when these tears had come down?
"I. I just feel moved and happy.." Azira's whisper of shame while turning her face did not dare to see her husband's reaction.
Kenzie chuckles. Unable to touch Azira's face anymore, his hand then turned to touch Azira's head and stroked her gently.
"I am too." Kenzie's whisper is faint.
"Why?" Adira didn't hear it clearly.
Kenzie shook his head helplessly.
"Let's get down, we're there." Kenzie said to shift the subject.
