Mahram To Azira
Chapters 24.10

In the evening everyone gathered in the backyard to sit together after dinner. There are also several guests from the house next door, Mona's parents who come with a beautiful girl. Her name is Yana, she is the younger sister of Mona and Ayana. However, Azira is confused because Mona has never mentioned this brother before. Mona is a very clingy person to Azira. Wherever Azira goes, he will try to follow. Because Mona is a very cheerful type of person, Azira gets along with her easily. Whenever they were together, mana would definitely talk a lot. To talk about her long-winded college problems, complain about her jutek brother, or often complain about her parents who are more inclined to love her brother than she is. But never one, never once did Mona mention her sister named Yana.

This is so surprising.

"Sir Azira is very beautiful. I don't know if this is just my opinion or not, but every time I meet a woman named Azira, they must have a beautiful face and attractive appearance." Amazed Yana is difficult to turn her eyes away from the beautiful face of Azira.

What he said brought laughter from those around him. They laughed and some dared to pinch Yana's face so anxious.

Azira smiled gently.

"I think maybe this is because of the meaning in the name 'Azira' itself, just think of it that way."

Mama's kidding, "Oh it could be. If I had known this name first, I would have changed Yana's name to Azira. Too bad I found out too late." Mom pretended to love him.

Umi said from the side.

"Yana's name is good too. Look at her growing up to be a beautiful and shy girl, unlike my daughter who is rebellious and has no gentleness." Umi did not give the slightest face to her daughter.

Look at Yana, from earlier she was sitting gracefully like a woman who was sitting politely. Then look at Sasa who just sits carelessly on the floor with a plate of food on his thigh. Really, this difference has a toothache.

"Umi, don't go too far. Just look at my daughter Mona, she's more booby than Sasa. I am confused how to deal with it at home. The more mature he is, the more childish his emotions become. Today he skipped all courses and slept in the room because of Yana's return. Oh my God, I almost raised my hand against him. Though I repeatedly advised him not to be childish anymore because he was already a big, already in college and not a child. But he never listened to what I said. Always behave like this. Aihs... I mentioned about Yana. This kid is 2 years younger than his brother and has been in school for years outside the city, he's younger than Mona but his attitude is more mature, I don't know what else to say." Mama looks tired of facing Mona.

It was visible from his expression.

Hearing her complaint Azira grew even more astonished. From the way Mama talks she guesses that Yana and Mona's relationship doesn't seem to be okay. Could this be the reason why Mona never talked about her sister?

Azira doesn't know. Maybe when they meet later he will ask this matter directly to Mona. It's just, why hasn't Mona come home these few days?

Azira began to worry about him.

"Mona skipped college?" Umi was shocked to hear that.

Not only Umi, but the other aunts were similarly shocked.

"Yes, he skipped three courses at once. Huh... When we asked him why he skipped college today, he scolded us. My God, his emotions are starting to get worse again." Mama said helplessly.

"There must be a reason why he chose to skip college. Sasa, did your cousin ever say anything today to you?" Distracting his attention to his daughter who was cool in picking up food from earlier.

"There, when I chatted this morning why he didn't go to Pak Al's lessons, he said he was not in the mood and hung out with Tio in the park." Sasa is too honest.

"Maybe it's because she still hasn't accepted Yana." An aunt chirps.

Not yet able to fully accept Yana?

Azira was confused and still quietly listened to their conversation.

"That's another reason besides this. It's been years but this kid hasn't changed. Auntie, you need to be more patient and give more understanding so that she can think more maturely. And Yana, you should never give up on your sister. One day his heart will change and he will accept you. Just be patient more."

Yana nodded her head low. A few days after returning home from the boarding house is indeed a house not too peaceful because Mona often makes trouble. He also understands that Mona's emotions come for sure because of her return. In the past, she would always be patient against her brother like this. But after years of living with her and being forced to yield to the boarding school, Yana develops a new understanding of her brother.

Yana was also upset about being treated like this. Had it not been for the affection of mom and dad, he would have never given Mona the slightest face.

"Of course, aunt. I know that my brother needs a lot of time to accept me. But no problem, Yana will always try to soften your brother's heart." Yana said humbly full of gentleness.

Azira couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, then where is Mona now? These few days he's never been home so I wonder what he's done at home recently."

"Mona is still in her room. After arguing with us earlier she refused to come out of the room. It's okay, tomorrow also his mood must be better. Mona can't come here because she's busy helping out at home. You know for yourself that Yana just came home from the boarding school so we did some work to welcome her home. Don't worry, tomorrow aunt will ask him to come here." Answer Mama relax.

Yana spoke embarrassedly, "Am I allowed to come here too?"

Azira nodded lightly.

"Come, just come here. I'm glad to see you guys coming home to play. Later we can make an event, for example eating rujak together?"

Yana was so happy to hear that.

"Thank you, brother. I finally got an activity too. Staying home isn't much fun, I'm tired of not doing anything."

Azira nodded in understanding.

Two hours later everyone finally returned to each other's homes.

"What are you thinking, I've noticed that your forehead is always wrinkled." Once they were both in the room, Kenzie massaged Azira's head to relax her.

Azira feels relaxed given a massage by her husband. She subconsciously dropped herself to lean on her husband's strong shoulders.

Hem... Her nose moved sensitively smelling the smell of her husband's sweat that makes opium. Feeling comfortable, Azira moved her head even closer to her husband's neck in order to smell her husband's sweat more.

The promise was completely unaware of his wife's behavior. He thought that his wife was looking for a comfortable position to sleep in so he let her move.

"Yes..." Azira's whisperer called out.

"Hum?"

Azira is still thinking about Mona.

"So Umi and the others were talking about Mona, I was curious. As long as Mona played with me she never told me about her sister Yana, I knew that she was two brothers. I'm Ayana and Mona, I don't know about Yana. If Auntie hadn't brought Yana here, I probably wouldn't have known Mona still had a sister. But I'm confused, somehow the people are talking as if Mona doesn't like Yana too much, why doesn't she like her own sister?" Azira asked confusedly.

The brotherly relationship is not this bad, is it?

Indeed many between brothers who quarrel, but their quarrel is only a moment and the edges will definitely be better again. But it's not logical that fellow brothers hate each other, like Mona and Yana. According to Azira this is impossible.

"Oh, about this matter. I thought that until then Mona would not take the initiative to tell you about Yana. For Mona, Yana is the source of her pain. They are not siblings. More precisely his parents raised Yana as their adopted child. I think this problem is felt a lot by people who raise a child into the family. I understand what Mona feels. As the last child, of course he wished that his parents cared more for him. But because of Yana's presence in the family, Mona's position as the last child is definitely replaced. And you must have noticed that Auntie was probably leaning more towards Yana than Mona? It was because Yana was the daughter of the aunt's sister that she loved the child so much. Well there is nothing wrong with aunt's affection for Yana. But I actually disagree with the way they take a stand against two different children. I disagree because auntie seems to put Yana first rather than Mona. Any child will certainly have inner pressure if the attitude of his parents is like that. So don't be surprised if you hear about Mona who likes to make a fuss. Actually he deliberately did that to attract the attention of his parents, but it's a pity that uncle and aunt are not too sensitive." Kenzie's gentle whisper explains the background of the relationship between Mona and the real Yana.

Really, Azira had thought about this but after hearing it straight from her husband's mouth she was very surprised. After some thought, Mona did not want to mention about this foster sister to him.

Especially after seeing how Mama treated Yana earlier, Azira understood why Mona's relationship did not go well with Yana. It might be said that Azira thinks Mona's parents are unfair. It's so unfair.

"Mas, may I say that uncle and aunt are too biased towards Mona? I know that they bestowed their affection on Yana sincerely because they wanted to cover up Yana's loss to her dead parents. But this is not how it works. Not by numbering the other and then ruling out the other. Mana must be hurt because his parents seem more inclined to his adopted sister. If I were in Mona's position, I would also feel pain and might not hesitate to make trouble for the people of the house. Ah...no, I probably won't just make trouble but will tear the house apart so they realize I need their attention too." Azira begins to imagine herself in Mona's position.

From his brief chat with Yana, he did not find a loophole or mistake. In fact, he had felt that Yana was a polite and humble child. But after thinking about it now, Azira realizes that Yana may have a face-seeking character to attract the attention of those around her. Just forgive her for saying this, as Mona's friend, of course she supports Mona more than Yana. But more than that, it would be nice for their brotherly relationship to be repaired so that there is no hatred in each other's hearts.

"Haha.... That's uncle and aunt's choice. Since they prefer to pay attention to Yana, then they have to accept the risk that Mona will have a little opinion in her heart about them. Mona is very lonely at home. His relationship with Ayana is a bit stiff because you know Ayana herself how. Then his relationship with Yana was already at a freezing level, it was getting harder to reconcile. You can think for yourself that he is very lonely. That's why when he often comes here and invites you to play, although a little reluctant I still give you permission to play with him. Because I know in you he sees a brother and a friend he can't have at home."

"A little reluctant?" Azira laughed gigglingly.

Kenzie's amused, "Well, I don't let you play with anyone else. But because of my work, as much as I can tolerate both kinds." I Kenzie spontaneously made Azira laugh.

Because the warm breath Azira hit the skin of his neck makes Kenzie immediately stiffened and the heart began to pound. Gritting his teeth in restraint, he restrained Azira's head from moving anymore.

"Don't mess around." Kenzie's warning is serious.

Azira is unaware of this and ignores the warnings from her husband.

"Darling, if you don't listen to me, you're out tonight."

Azira's laughter stopped immediately. Stiffly she moved away from Kenzie's neck and shifted her body to keep her distance as far as possible.

No way, he still missed his son.

"Frightened." Cela Kenzie flat.

Azira.

"Mas Kenzie knows better why I'm afraid." The word Azira holds meaning.

"Huh, you coward. Even if it's-"

"Okay, don't talk weird." Cut Azira won't listen anymore.

Seeing his wife's pouting face, Kenzie immediately raised his hand promising not to joke anymore.

"Cough," pretend to cough.

"Let's go back to the topic. If you know Mona's life is not easy at home, then why does Kenzie like her so fierce? Does Kenzie have no pity?"
