"I'm not kidding, my wife. We were engaged before." Kenzie laughs.
He knew this might sound impossible to Azira. Because Kenzie also had time to feel so when Abah and Umi told about his engagement with Azira. And this is one of the factors why Kenzie decided to get really serious with Azira.
Starting from the attraction, then the opening of a secret, Kenzie has no reason to reject Azira. He is willing to consider Azira's whereabouts when newly married and upon learning of this secret, Kenzie's decision is fully unanimous that Azira is his wife. The wife he chose himself when he was a child.
"Mas... When are we getting engaged, ma'am? I don't remember ever being engaged to Kenzie. Besides, when I was a child, I lived in the village, while Kenzie was in the city. Frankly, I don't know if we had the chance to meet as kids because we came from a different world. Before looking for Dad, I had never been to town. And I'm also sure that Kenzie has never come to my village before, so in conclusion we don't have a chance let alone get engaged." Azira analyzed carefully.
When he was a child in his mind just playing and playing, he never knew love let alone play love, children his age did not have time to play drama.
Maybe today's children can be. The technology has advanced. 3-year-olds already have cell phones in hand, so it's no wonder young children start playing love-love when they're not ready to know love.
"That's not necessarily, my wife. As far as the distance between us is concerned, God always has a way of meeting us. Do you remember the reason why I was going to marry Humairah first?"
Azira nodded her head. Her husband said it was because of the match.
"Well, I'm getting married to Humairah because of an arranged marriage. We've been engaged since childhood. Although I did not like it, but since we were engaged, then I could not dodge and willingly accept the arrangement of our two parents. Matchmaking, I was supposed to be married for this matchmaking but not with Humairah but with you my wife, Azira Humaira."
Part of what Kenzie said he understood, but part of it confused Azira.
"Why should I?"
Kenzie smiled gently.
"Because my real fiance is you and not him. A few years ago Abah took me to a place to take care of his work project. One day Abah and I had an accident, guess who saved us both at that time?"
Azira doesn't know. How could he guess?
Azira joked, "Could it be my mother?" You know, I once said I saved a father and son from an accident.
It's an old story. Long before Azira was born in this world. Mother did not say anything strange, only told one piece of her mother's life while in the village first.
"The bingo! Your answer is correct."
Azira was surprised,"Huh?"
Kenzie laughed again. His wife's reaction was very cute.
"Yes, the one who saved us was Mom. And because of that incident we met your mother and father. Incidentally at that time Mother was pregnant with you, to thank you for the rescue made by Mother, Abah wanted to give some gifts. But I refused, saying it was just a coincidence. And you know not the most ridiculous thing about that story?"
Azira is now very interested in her husband's story. Moreover, it had to do with the past of the two of them.
Azira anticipates,"What?"
"That's me. I was a kid at the time but my mind was really unbearable. Seeing that Mom was pregnant, I asked Abah to make an engagement contract between me and the future baby in the mother's stomach. If he is born a man, he will be my brother. And if the one born is a woman, then she will be my wife in the future. Everyone laughed at me, but Abah took what I said seriously. This engagement contract is still maintained until today. Until finally years later. Dad suddenly came to our house with Humairah. He introduced Humairah to us and asked for an engagement contract to be executed immediately. Abah thought you were Humairah at first, but when traced Humairah was born from the second wife of Father. Abah actually did not want to continue the engagement contract. But Dad reasoned that Mom and you were dead, so to continue the engagement contract, he replaced you with Humairah. But my dear wife, God's plan is always unexpected. Even if you manipulate the truth, God always has a way of revealing it. One of His plans is to bring us together in an unusual marriage. Father tried to cover you from the truth, but God easily sent you to sit beside me when Ijab kabul. What's the conclusion of this story my wife?" Kenzie asked gently to his wife.
Azira said nothing to respond to her husband. His mouth was silent not because of anger or sadness but because he was so happy and amazed at the same time, making him speechless. So wonderful is God's scenario for him. So amazing is the unexpected scenario that God prepared for his life. With all these surprises, does he still have the heart to think that God is unjust?
Does he still have the heart to think God only created himself just to be a game?
Is he still having a bad heart to think of God, even though God has prepared a very extraordinary surprise to treat all the pain of the trials he passed so far. Still have her?
God is always with him. Listening to her cries and accommodating her complaints. God did not immediately give him happiness not because God did not want to, but because the time was not right.
Right, and now is the right time. From marrying to this point, most of her days were spent laughing and smiling, for God gave her a wonderful family to treat all her loneliness.
Oh God, please forgive me. How cruel I have been to think of You. O God, I am Your despicable and sinful servant, I know that all my prejudices against You have failed You. But I know you did not give up on me. Because if you don't, you probably won't be happy to meet this great man in front of me. Really, I'm so grateful. I am grateful that You have always protected and prepared amazing days that I never imagined before. The day I was surrounded by good people, people who were sincere with me and appreciated me. Especially my husband, Kenzie. Thank you, God, I am truly grateful for the blessings you have given me, thank God. Azira's mind was filled with gratitude in her heart.
He's very happy.
"Don't cry anymore, wife." Kenzie hastily wiped his wet hands on the shirt before touching his wife's wet face.
He was so depressed to see his wife so easily cry.
"I'm not crying, mas." Azira denied but kept quiet to see her husband wipe away the tears on her face.
Kenzie laughs. Today he felt a lot of emotions. She laughs more, cries more, and is often angry. And that's all for one man, Azira Humaira, his beloved wife.
"Well, you're not crying." Kenzie continued his conversation.
"The conclusion of this story is that you are not a substitute either for your sister or for Amara. From the very beginning, you were my fiancee, the first woman who managed to attract my attention, and the first or last wife who would always accompany the pieces of my life in the future. Remember, you are the angel of my world and the woman of my heaven God willing to envy the angels of heaven. So hold your head up and never hesitate, for I am yours. And I need to emphasize one thing to you, which is... You are not a bad woman. You only take the rights that should be yours. If they think of you as a woman then fine, it's fine to be a bad woman. Because I'd rather you be a bad woman if that's the only way to unite us both. Understand now?"
Azira felt melted. Her husband repeatedly said that he was not good at expressing love, but what was the fact? He is a very good person to express love. Ugh, her heart melted listening to the arrogant words her husband dominated. Besides, he also felt warm. What her husband said was very touching. His eyes were so sore that he wanted to cry. But she could not cry too much, because her husband would definitely be anxious.
Ah... That sounds excessive. Azira thought falling in love as sweet as this is only in the novels, but it also exists in the real world because he himself experienced it.
Kenzie also laughed. He pulled Azira into his arms to share the warmth.
"I'm also very happy. I'm so happy, my wife. Thank you for being present in my life."
Azira blushed in embarrassment, "Mas Kenzie said as a married couple we shouldn't say thank you." Azira reminded generously.
Kenzie laughed out loud. His voice was crisp and pleasing to the sense of hearing. Azira likes.
"I don't know... Just wanted to express these words. Thank you." Thank you." Kenzie doesn't know what else to say.
Anyway he's very happy, really happy.
"It's up to you to Kenzie." Azira made no further comment.
Because she knew how her husband felt. Happiness fills the chest, willing to be expressed but very difficult. It was rather complicated to have a suitable language to express how happy his heart was now. Perhaps the expression thank you represents all feelings.
Thank you, short and simple. But full of meaning.
"Wait a minute." Kenzie suddenly recalled the warm water he had forgotten.
Azira hurriedly raised her legs.
"It's better, ma'am. No need to continue." Azira said she did not want to receive massage service from her husband.
Kenzie doesn't force. But secretly he made a plan in his heart. Maybe after tonight's episode, he'll take the time to give his wife a warm water massage on her feet.
"Alright, the water is also cold and can not be used anymore. I'll throw the water away." Kenzie went to take the container to the bathroom and a few seconds later returned with a white towel in his right hand.
Sitting cross-legged on the carpet, he carried his wife's wet times over his thighs to dry. Azira was terrified. She dances her legs away, but Kenzie's strong hands hold her back from leaving. Azira is forced to let Kenzie wipe her wet legs.
"Honestly, there's no need to do this. I feel like an ungodly wife to you, mas." Azira said sweetly as well as helplessly.
Kenzie shrugged his shoulders no matter what.
"I'm ridho doing this. If you're happy, I'll be happier. Then let me spoil you." He said indifferently.
He's happy to do it. And this is purely his own desire. So no need to hesitate. Then while focusing on wiping his wife's feet, he remembered his assistant a moment ago had sent the hospital's CCTV footage he had requested earlier this afternoon. He hastily picked up a phone that had been neglected to please his wife.
"Oh yes, my assistant has sent CCTV footage to the hospital. You can see it for yourself." Handing her phone to Azira.
Azira did not hesitate to take it. This is her husband's new phone. Same with her husband's lost phone. If Azira did not hold it, then she did not know that this had just been bought because it was still new.
"Pulse... Can I take this video?" Azira asked permission from her husband.
Kenzie smiled and immediately replied straightforwardly.
"Take it, and send it to a foreign number that bothers you. We don't know who he is, but obviously his goal is not good. He wants to destroy our household, really dreaming!" Kenzie said annoyed.
Actually he could have just figured out who was behind the foreign number. But he likes to play and because he likes to play, he likes to play. Serve well and make him vomit blood!
"Good, mas. I'll send it now." Azira forwarded the video to her contact number.
A few seconds later, a notification appeared on his phone. Azira immediately opened it and forwarded the video back to the foreign number that had terrorized him.
With a click, everything is done.
Azira laughed at the thought of how bad that person's expression was when he saw this piece of video. Hah, they might not have expected that Azira would reply in such an arrogant way!
"By the way, ma'am, aren't you hungry?" Azira had dinner last night, but only a little because her stomach was again causing trouble.
Kenzie swiftly replied hungry even though he himself was already full.
"Hungry. Want me to cook you something? I'm not very good at cooking, but if I make simple meals I can still." Kenzie.
She hopes Azira wants to see Azira try her own cooking.
Surprisingly, the thought of Kenzie's cooking made him drool instantly. His stomach is getting hungry.
"You, mas." Azira was impatient.
Kenzie laughs. He put the towel away before holding his wife's hand out of the room.
