Mahram To Azira
Chapters 29.8

"Obviously, he's sad to see Kenzie with Azira." Aunt Safa explained.

I felt my mother take a long breath. He must be very sad to see me suffer.

"Okay, let's forget everything, son. Kenzie is happy with Azira, so you have to move forward. Show them you can be happier than them." Mom whispered to me.

I smiled, but said nothing.

...*****...

Frida and her parents have been here for a long time. She wanted to stay overnight in this house but her parents didn't give her permission. Not that they do not want to give permission, as parents they also want their children to live in this house. The house is nice and the facilities are good. But they couldn't do that because of the trouble their Princess had caused a while ago. Although Umi did not forbid Frida to come to this house, but Umi certainly did not allow Frida to spend the night in this house. How else, Indring's aunt and Roni's uncle don't want to ruin the family relationship anymore. They were forced to let Frida stay in one of the hotels.

Even going to this event Frida has been lectured all-out. He is forbidden to do this, forbidden to do that, anyway not to make problems that are fatal to their family relationships.

Frida was actually very angry. For months without seeing Kenzie, his life was miserable. And even the most frustrating thing was that his parents betrothed him to another man in order to forget Kenzie, his parents believe there is no chance for Frida between Kenzie and Azira.

"Mama's face why so bad?" Ask in a lazy tone.

He played the mirror before his eyes. See if his appearance has no problems. Special attending today's event he deliberately uses pink-colored gamis that attract the eyes. The model he bought was the latest model issued by one of his favorite boutiques in the city. The boutique said there was only one game here, and according to Frida the color and model is very suitable, looks sweet because it has the appearance of a young girl who is in bloom.

Aunt Indring who was sprained immediately a toothache saw the behavior of her daughter.

He came back out of nowhere.

His face looked grim as it held in anger. Frida was confused, just a moment ago Indring's aunt was still fine but why all of a sudden, in just a very short time Indring's aunt looked angry.

"You said you can't be silly here. Hiding your mirror." Aunt Indring pressed Frida's hand which was holding the mirror down.

She was ashamed to see her daughter like this.

Frida snorted but did not fight back.

"I just want mastiin if my make up is okay, really." He made a defense.

"Make up you all right, you're still pretty." The compliment.

Frida was certainly happy to be praised. She smiled sweetly and switched to holding onto Aunt Indring's skinny arm.

"Thank you for your compliment. But ma, what's the matter? How's mama bete's face?"

Aunt Indring let out a long sigh. After talking to Kenzie earlier, he could not continue smiling anymore. He felt a lot of complaining about being rejected outright by Kenzie. Kenzie's attitude towards him was not very polite. Though Indring's aunt was his family, as a family, Kenzie had to help. But Kenzie refused him outright to accompany Azira. Check, she wants to get angry but can't vent because she and her husband are so concerned about Kenzie.

"Mama asked Kenzie for help. Mama wants to ask for help with her to introduce your Papa to her business friends. But he instead rejected the mother on the grounds Azira overwhelmed too much to move. Even if he wanted to help, he could have left Azira there." Aunt Indring explained.

When she heard Indring's aunt mention the name of the person she hated the most, Frida's face immediately shriveled. She was not satisfied with Azira then and now even more dissatisfied when she found out she was pregnant. Anyway, the problem was still clearly remembered in his head. He hates Azira, hoping that Azira and Kenzie will soon be separated. But what made him very upset, it had been a few months since instead of getting good news he had bad news!

How heartbroken he was when he received the invitation to Azira's 7th monthly event. It was as if his heart had been drawn!

"Ma, don't be surprised at the behavior of the female fox. Early marriage alone she can already affect Kenzie mas, especially now that she is pregnant. The more he becomes." Frida mocked.

"Hust, be careful with your mouth. Angry may be, but don't just talk. Remember where you are now! There are many ears that will hear it. If Kenzie and the others find out, you'll be out. Are you not familiar with the problem you created a few months ago? Haven't you?" Uncle Roni's cold voice reprimanded Frida.

Frida was terrified. He didn't know that Uncle Roni was here. Whereas Uncle Roni had gone to meet some people in the other direction, but why did he suddenly appear from the other direction?

"Papa... I don't want to talk, though. What I said is true." Frida said in a squeaking voice.

Uncle Roni looked at his stupid daughter's nyalang. Because the problem that is affected is them.

"Not listening to me? If you keep doing this better just go home, papa won't accept any risk because of you again!" Angry Uncle Roni to his daughter.

"Ma.."

Frida's neck shriveled in fear. He walked backwards hiding behind Aunt Indring's back. If Uncle Roni is already angry, Frida will definitely get into trouble. His parents are a bit strict.

Aunt Indring stroked the back of her daughter's hand intending to comfort her.

"Pa, don't be so hard on Frida. He said so out of anger because I was rejected by Kenzie earlier. He didn't mean to make trouble for us."

Uncle Roni snorted coldly.

"Whatever the reason. You have to control your daughter's mouth so you don't cause any more trouble." Uncle Roni did not soften his heart.

Aunt Indring nodded weakly.

"Listen to what your father says. Stay by my mom's side and stop saying bad things." Aunt Indring said to her daughter.

Frida nodded withered. He holds Indring's aunt's hand under Roni's uncle's supervision. He did not dare to dwell at least until Uncle Roni left. In his heart again he blamed all this on Azira, if Azira had not left a scar on him, none of this would have happened.

"Okay, let's go." Aunt Indring said as she pulled her daughter away.

Aunt Indring, Uncle Roni, and Frida went to gather with the rest of the family. They chatted for a while until the ashar prayer finally came. They all then split up to immediately perform the congregational ashar prayer.

Frida and Aunt Indring get a middle saf.

At first Frida wanted to pray with Azira. But he did not know where Azira was praying. Upset, he had to pray next to Aunt Indring. Next the event was passed with a boring feeling. Fortunately the priest who led the prayer was Kenzie. With a soft voice and make the opium, the longing in Frida's chest was at least treated. While performing the prayer he imagined that he was praying behind Kenzie. Being the only aunt for Kenzie, ah... It's a pity that this imagination ended after the last greeting.

He's back to the sad reality.

After praying and listening to the recitation, Frida finally saw Kenzie. He was instantly fascinated by Kenzie's performance today. Always looking handsome and charming, his heart instantly crazed inside his chest.

She's very nervous.

"Mas Kenzie -"

"Azira."

The call did not arrive because Kenzie immediately approached Azira. It turned out that the person he was looking for was performing the prayer on the back sofa. Both of his hands instantly clenched in jealousy. Perhaps he felt even crazier when he saw the large surface of Azira's stomach.

"Must be twins." Frida heard.

He did not want to hear these sounds but still, he could not control his ears to hear these sounds.

So irritating.

"I think so too. With that big belly, I'd rather believe it's twins." Someone chimed.

"Ah... A very happy couple. His father is handsome and his mother is also beautiful, the children who are born must be handsome and beautiful. I hope to be invited back for the birth of their children. I wonder how sweet their kids are."

Frida could not bear to hear it anymore. He snorted coldly. His eyes were still fixed on the couple in front. Their behavior is friendly without pretense, Frida is not stupid not to see there is love in the eyes of both of them. But.stay it... He's not willing. Deep down inside he had always hoped that the one who should marry Kenzie was her, and not Azira let alone someone else.

"If I knew how cheating could win Kenzie's heart first, then it would not be Azira's turn to do it. It was me, to get Kenzie's love I was willing to do anything." Frida's whisper was deep in her mind.

"He looks so happy in this house." Sad whisper.

From where he stood now he saw Umi coming to the couple. I don't know what Umi said to Azira, the heartwarming smile never escaped Umi's face. Sometimes Umi would touch Azira's head, then stroke her shoulder. Then a few seconds later Kenzie pecks the surface of Azira's large belly, wakes up and helps Azira get up from the sofa. During the process Kenzie looks very cautious. She held Azira, wrapped around Azira's waist before stepping together. Umi is also not unemployed. He held Azira's hand and walked together. They seem very attentive to Azira.

Oh, happiness. Any woman in this place must be jealous to see the closeness of Azira with her husband and in-laws. Both the husband and in-law were attentive, taking care of Azira and treating her well. For those who are unlucky at home, living with a less understanding husband or chatty in-laws, of course seeing Azira's life is like a dream.

"This is what amazes me, Azira. You have committed a crime, destroyed your own sister's life, but why does God still give you happiness? While me and the others, we have done many ways and efforts to win the heart of Kenzie, but why is God not on our side? What exactly have you done in this world to make God juxtapose you with Kenzie? Living in a slum with evil everywhere, could it be that your heart is still clean? Could it be that you still have your honor?" Frida muttered musingly, thinking about everything that had left her confused.

Destiny is God's secret. But... Can destiny be rationally done?

...*****...

Azira slowly stepped towards Father and mother. Each step was tinged with nervousness. He was agitated but very lucky because he was through it not alone.

A few minutes later, she and her husband and Umi finally stood right in front of Dad and mom. Dad stopped chatting with his acquaintances, turned to the side, he only realized that Azira was already here and now standing right in front of him.

Looking at Azira now, father instantly fell silent. His old eyes stared confused at the appearance of his daughter who had been wasted. Perhaps due to her well-groomed, Azira's face was prettier, many times prettier than the last time they met. Her apricot eyes shone brightly, revealing a sweet smile on her beautiful and pinched face.

For a moment the father was brought back to recall memories more than 20 years ago. At that moment a beautiful village girl looked at him with a very sweet smile. The girl was like the image of other village girls, she liked to smile, had a simple attitude, and was innocent-hearted as well. Dad remembered that smile was what made him fall in love with the village girl.

They fall in love at first sight, without any abstinence they decide to get married in the village. At that time Father managed to become the enemy most hated by the bachelors in the village because Dad managed to seize the village flowers that were chased by the village bachelors.

It was a fun time and one of the most precious moments.

"Assalamualaikum, dad, ma?" Kenzie's heavy voice obscures the father from his long daydream.

I woke up, saw Kenzie kiss her hand and mama. While Umi just cupped her hands politely in front of Dad and Mama. What about Azira?

He just stood quietly looking at his Father and stepmother. Barely a year since I last saw each other, Dad looks older and Mama is also a little haggard. He now has a lot of white hair on his head. Though as Azira recalls, Dad's hair is not as crowded as his white.

"Ah.yes, waalaikumsalam." Answer me while rubbing his face.

Seeing Azira's appearance now reminded him of his former first wife. Once he saw that he immediately knew that Azira's beauty was declining from his ex-wife.

"Dad, don't be dazed." Mom pinched my dad's arm to get back in focus.

She had no idea what her husband was thinking. Maybe he was a little surprised to see Azira change, because my mother felt it too. Now looking at the appearance of Azira, starting from a wedding ring with a young diamond, the bracelet in the hand that Azira wears on the left hand is no less striking because it is sprinkled with blue diamonds. Not to mention the necklace... Too bad my mom can't see it. These items were not many, but they were much more expensive and what he thought. Looking at all the jewelry she was wearing was not comparable to what Azira was wearing. Mama knows if the wedding ring and bracelet have a very high nominal price.

It must be expensive, he thought. Then his eyes looked down at the gift box he was holding. It's also jewelry, an ordinary bracelet. Purchased directly by Safa's aunt and the price is not expensive for their size. Mama saw it. He thought this bracelet was appropriate for Azira, the village hick who had never seen the world, but now... He hesitated to give this bracelet to Azira. Fear of embarrassing yourself.

"Have you been here a long time?" Kenzie's voice caught the attention of mom and dad.

Dad smiled thinly.

"We just arrived. Today it's a bit of a traffic jam, so you're late." Dad made a wild excuse.

She lies.

Azira hesitated but did not react to anything. Whether it is present or not is the same.

"Um, how's the show today? Is it going well?" I asked Azira.

Azira smiles. Her hands obediently hugged her husband's arms. His attitude showed that he did not want to talk.

"Thank God everything went well, Dad. We were so happy to know Dad was coming here. Although I'm a little late, but it doesn't matter, as long as you come here then everything's fine." Kenzie is the one who spoke.

Mama frowned displeased. Her husband was talking to Azira but was ignored. She was offended because her husband felt disrespected by Azira. But because here there was Umi and her husband was not angry with Azira's treatment, Mama was forced to hold him in silence.

"Thankful thank goodness. What's the next agenda?" This time I spoke to Kenzie.

Kenzie is still smiling.

"The next way is to eat. Dad, Ma, why don't we sit there? Sitting while talking is much more comfortable than we are standing here." Kenzie with his right hand.

Father nodded lightly. He also felt that standing here did not look good because it was watched by many people. If their relationship is okay then it doesn't matter. But unfortunately their relationship was a bit stiff, so it was better to step aside and find a seat to chat.

"Alright, come on, Ma."

Mama smiled faintly and followed her husband walking to the sofa that Kenzie had pointed at earlier. They walk in front of the two while Umi and Kenzie accompany Azira. Along the way to get there, they get a wide variety of gazes from many people. Mama felt proud, but at the same time she was also upset. In honor of the two of them as a family-in-law, Umi was supposed to walk in front along with the two of them. But Umi does not do that and prefers to accompany Azira. Never mind taking on the task as a guide, Umi from the beginning never took the initiative to talk to them.

It is very upsetting.mama feels that the two of them are not very respected by this family. Whereas when Humairah was still in contact with Kenzie first, their relationship was fine. In fact, it could be said to be very close, as if they had once had a close blood relation. But after Azira came into this house everything changed. They act as if they do not know each other and even seem indifferent.

All because of Azira. If only I had refused Dad's request to bring Azira home, our lives wouldn't have fallen this hard. My daughter won't suffer, and maybe today the one who did the 7-month Thanksgiving is my daughter and maybe a few months later I've held a sweet grandchild. If Azira hadn't come to our house, I wouldn't have spent my time thinking hard about finding a solution to my poor daughter's happiness. Besides our relationship with this family will also not stretch so far, we will not be estranged from each other. Everything will go according to our plans and expectations.My husband's business will grow rapidly and my daughter lives happily with Kenzie, this should be the scenario that happens. Not like this. If only I had thrown Azira so far away, getting rid of the unlucky bearer that would have ruined my daughter's life. Yeah, if only I had done that. It is true that the person who is engaged to Kenzie is Azira, but who cares? as long as Azira disappears, my daughter will be fine and our family will have gone a long way. But Azira destroyed everything. Just like his mother did to my husband. How dare he seduce Dad, even though at that time I was engaged to Dad. Huh, indeed what this saying is true that the fruit will not fall far from the tree, the mother's nature will decline to her child, and the cunning nature of a mother will decrease also to her child. Azira for example. She and her mother are the same, both snatch people's husbands. It's a good thing that Azira's mother is dead, otherwise I would have destroyed her myself! Inner mom hate.

True, it all started from the arrival of Azira in their home. Quietly spread poison to destroy the happiness of Humairah. Mama already hates Azira for being born from the woman who had usurped Dad first. And because of this matter Mama's hatred deepened towards Azira. how could she not be angry?

Ibu Azira, a village lady who dreamed of getting a rich man in the city openly seduced Father who was then her fiance. Because of his seduction, Dad was forced to marry the woman to produce this wild seed. Fortunately, at that time, the father immediately realized from the woman's appeal.After his work was completed in the village, Dad immediately packed up and left the woman. Dumped the woman and returned to the city. Even though the woman already contained Azira, a disgusting wild seed, Father never admitted it. Until finally they heard the news of the woman's death, very forced Dad brought Azira home to cause this disaster.

Really, Mama has two regrets in this world. First, let Dad go to the village to work that time and second, let Dad bring Azira home. If God gave him a chance to turn back time, he would never allow Dad to go to the village and thus, Humairah would not live to suffer.

That's what Mama thinks. You may forget or pretend to forget that the engagement agreement happened because there was an incident in the village. If there were no incidents, then Humairah would never be destined to meet Kenzie.
