"Slowly.." Kenzie holding Azira's back helped her sit in the middle of the sofa.
Azira nodded with a smile. She held tightly to her husband's arm as a crutch. After finally touching the surface of the sofa, he immediately relaxed and leaned back on the sofa. It feels more comfortable than standing up. If you stand too long, your feet will ache. That's because the stomach is so heavy that it makes it not strong to stand or take too long a walk. This is only 7 months old, what if the age of the womb will enter 9 months?
How big will his stomach be?
"Thank you, ma'am." Azira said thank you.
Kenzie smile. His big hand rubbed Azira's waist comfortably.
"It's okay. It's my job." Kenzie whispered.
The two of them whispered to each other, this scene was captured directly by Mama who was getting annoying.
"Ekhem," couldn't stand it anymore Mama finally opened her voice.
"There are parents here, it's rude of you to keep whispering." Mama's stage with her old pretentious tone.
Azira glanced at him lightly, before pulling her eyes away. He said nothing or apologized. Instead of apologizing, she leaned on her husband's shoulder. Quietly listening to the sound of a beating heart in her husband's chest. Over time he felt sleepy. But he can still hold back. He also knew that now was not the right time to sleep.
Too bad.
"I'm sorry, ma. My wife is ashamed to speak in her usual tone of voice in front of you because it concerns our personal matters, so we both whisper." Kenzie easily makes excuses.
Mama pouting. He crossed one of his legs still not satisfied with Kenzie's defense.
"Whatever your reasons. Your wife is a little different. Look at Humairah, his sister. Since childhood, his behavior has been very good. If she was in your wife's position now, then she would definitely not have made this mistake." Mama spoke pretently, deliberately comparing Azira with Humairah.
What he said made me feel ashamed. Especially when looking at the flat face of Umi. Mama's talk must have made Umi unhappy. Embarrassed he nudged his wife's hand, giving her a signal to stop talking.
She pulled her arm away from her husband. He finished what he wanted to say. Expecting something to happen, Mama looks at Kenzie to see how she reacts. But it's a pity. Instead of listening to what he said just now, Kenzie was busy waking up his wife who had fallen asleep for some time.
The excited mother instantly withered,"..." What the fuck!
Dad was stunned on the spot. Umi has a smile on her face. Umi acted as if she did not see anything strange from my reaction. It was as if he had never listened to the annoying words that were spewing from my mouth.
"Is Azira asleep again?" Ask Umi for attention.
Kenzie nodded slowly. His big hand rubbed the top of his wife's head lovingly.
Any more? My mother was increasingly dissatisfied.
Doesn't that mean Azira sleeps a lot? In front of a lot of people? How insolent!
"Yes, Umi. He's probably exhausted." Kenzie was concerned about his wife.
Blame the little one who thrived to the point of overwhelming Azira many times. Fortunately it was still in the stomach, otherwise Kenzie would have thrown it out of the house as punishment.
"Has he always been like this?" Asked father subconsciously using a soft tone.
For a moment, Dad was concerned about the condition of his pregnant daughter. With such a big belly her daughter must have gone through days that were not easy. Think for a moment, first... Could it be that his first wife also had the same difficulties while pregnant with Azira?
Could it be that his first wives were this big when they were pregnant with Azira?
I don't know because I've never seen any of that. From conceiving to giving birth and raising Azira, she never went through any of that. He was confused, was this his regret?
"Not all pregnant women are like this. Azira must have been pampered in this house so she can act as she pleases." Mama said emotion.
He felt jealous hearing father's gentle question to Azira. He does not accept if the father treats Azira as his daughter. It used to be that when Azira was brought into the house she might be able to accept it, but now after what Azira did to her daughter she cannot accept this humiliation. It was enough to take Kenzie from his daughter, he did not want the father also to be taken by Azira from his daughter. For my mother, I only have one daughter, Humairah.
"Ma." Reproach dad's not happy.
Mama's getting sullen. He snorted coldly, turning his face away from father.
"Please... Sorry mama. He didn't mean anything." I apologize to Kenzie and Umi.
Umi smiled faintly.
Kenzie's smile evaporated, he looked at his in-laws with a polite look.
"Yes, dad's okay. Azira was often like this after we were pregnant with our baby. He gets sleepy when he's a little tired. And I might need to explain a few things to Mama," turned her black eyes to look at mama, "Ma, not all pregnant women have the same complaints as Azira, but some women will also have them. And I think Mama must know one of the challenges pregnant women are easily sleepy? Yes, I'm sure that mom has also felt this phase. Therefore it is not excessive if my wife is easy to fall asleep. He did have a hard time at this stage but I am so grateful that he never complained. It's just that I feel like my wife is enjoying her pregnancy enough now." Obviously Kenzie is still with the same smile, but somehow Mama actually feels that this smile is not as friendly as it looks?
Could this be just his feeling?
"Yes.iya, I've forgotten.you know for yourself that I only have Humairah and never contain again after that." Mom nervously replied.
Kenzie smile. He looked back at his wife, shaking Azira's arm to wake up. In addition to easily falling asleep, Azira also easily woke up. He is a light sleeper.
"Mass?" Azira looked at her husband in a daze.
"Do you want to sleep in your room?" Ask Kenzie for attention.
Azira finally woke up. He warned himself not to fall asleep. But in the end he fell asleep too.
Azira panicked, she shook her head quickly unwilling to leave. His heart felt guilty. How could he just walk away while the show was still running?
Duh, have to hold back even stronger!
"I don't want to, Mom. Look, I'm not sleepy anymore?" Azira rubbed her face, pushing away the drowsiness virus so that she would not fall asleep again.
Looking at her cute and adorable behavior, Kenzie could not help but laugh out loud. You see Azira looks funny, especially when he saw the two hands of the kingpin scrambling to wipe his face, Kenzie like seeing a small child who was acting funny to attract attention.
Oh God how's my wife's pulse this sweet? The sweet inner Kenzie also felt amused.
He laughed in satisfaction as he pulled Azira into his arms. His laughter caught the attention of the guests. With curious eyes they looked towards them, observing what was funny that Kenzie laughed this much.
Azira is overwhelmed. She could not move but hug her husband's back.
"Okay, son. Stop making trouble. Azira can't move." Umi patted her son's arm to stop hugging Azira immediately.
Because of Umi's scolding, she finally released Azira reluctantly. To be honest he was still not satisfied with his wife. He wanted to hug Azira longer but Umi could not be invited to cooperate ah, not like that. He was still aware of the situation and it felt inappropriate to do something like this in a public place.
"Darling, drink water." Kenzie took the water on the table.
Azira did not refuse. He drank three sips of water before returning the glass to Kenzie.
"Thank you, ma'am." Azira said thank you.
Kenzie nodded lightly.
Seeing their sweet interaction, father and mother did not feel comfortable. They both thought of Humairah. If Humairah was here and saw the affection of the two of them, it is inconceivable how heartbroken Humairah will be. But luckily there was no Humairah in Sani, right, then where did their daughter go?
Wasn't Humairah with Safa's aunt, where are they now?
"Did Humairah come too?" Umi asked, in fact she saw Humairah coming.
"He also came. It's her brother's thanksgiving, impossible if he doesn't come." Mama said insinuatingly.
His daughter did come, his goal was none other than to ascertain how Azira was after marrying Kenzie and living in this house.
Umi smiled, her wrinkled hands holding the back of Azira's hands.
"Yes, that's right. She might be worried about her brother's life here. Then where is he?" Umi's words seemed to pierce the weak point of mama.
Her daughter is indeed very 'worried' with Azira's life in this house. It's just that his hopes were not achieved, this house has disappointed his daughter.
But wait a minute, could it be that Umi knew what she was thinking?
Shouldn't be, right?
How could Umi know.
"She and her aunt went to the toilet. Maybe soon they'll be here." Mama replied lying.
She had no idea where her daughter was taken away by Safa's aunt. Because before leaving they both said nothing. It's been this long, Mama hope nothing happens to them here.
"Oh, he went to the toilet."
Mama's really upset right now. He scolded his daughter inwardly for playing away just like that. Though this is a good opportunity to show Umi that his choice of maintaining Azira is wrong. Instead of defending Azira, it is better to bring Humairah into this house.
My daughter has good manners, she also attends high school and has a job. My daughter is much better than Azira. Umi would have regretted seeing the comparison of the two of them later. But... Where did this kid go? He simply disappeared at the most important moment! I complained in my heart.
While Mama was still complaining in her heart, Dad's focus was on Azira again. Father found it funny to see Azira's eyelids flashing so many times as if maintaining her consciousness. Did he just wake up and get sleepy again?
"Son, if you're still sleepy. Why don't you just go rest in the room?" Said I was sorry to see Azira going to sleep.
Hearing father's words, Azira's eyes blinked softly. Slowly the drowsiness that had wanted to master it immediately evaporated out of nowhere. Azira raised her eyelids staring at Father, there was not the slightest ripple within those eyes.
Ache, Azira withdrew her gaze from father.
Azira's reticence shows that she doesn't care what dad says. Azira silently did not want to answer, the most upset Mama is either Kenzie or Umi did not reprimand Azira's insolent behavior. This is so unsatisfactory!
"I always noticed that you had acted in front of us from the beginning. Every time I talk to you, you always ignore it and never reply! Is this how you behave in front of your parents? From the moment you were invited to talk you kept quiet. When parents talk, not only do you not answer but you also fall asleep! You must have intentionally done this because you didn't want to respect us as your parents!" Various accusations were made against Mama to Azira.
Fortunately the volume of the sound is not too large so it does not need to attract the attention of many people.
Mama feels that her patience is running out in front of Azira. He was unable to tolerate Azira any further because his attitude was outrageous. Mama strongly believes that Azira deliberately did this to humiliate them both. The relationship between the two of them is not very good. They have a lot of problems that make the relationship more tense. Yes, Azira could have humiliated both of them because of this matter. Humiliating them in front of many guests, Mama no longer had the power to hold him back.
So he accused Azira with some speculations of his own.
"Who-" Kenzie raised a voice but Azira stopped him.
"Old man, huh?" Tanya Azira is cynical.
His eyes looked at mom and dad back and forth, figuring out which parts still applied to him that deserved to be mentioned as a parent.
"I don't need to bring up the past because the two of you are more clear about what happened in those days. But what I want to talk about is someone once swore to me that he would never acknowledge me as his daughter. Not only did she not acknowledge me as her legitimate daughter, she was reluctant to acknowledge me as her illegitimate daughter. I still vividly remember what that man and his wife said to this day. Now, all of a sudden that guy's wife accuses me of not respecting him as a parent? Doesn't this sound funny? I wasn't acknowledged by them but suddenly they demanded that I respect them as much as my parents. Could they have forgotten what they said? Or maybe they are pretending to forget? I don't know. To be sure I felt confused and wondered, could it be that the two of them were still human?" Azira said in a quiet but clear voice.
Every single word she spoke represented her heart. Reveal any faults that formed many years ago. Which child is not sad when hearing the words of his parents that he is not only not recognized as a legitimate child, but he is also reluctant to be recognized as an illegitimate child. It was as if his life was so despicable and worthless that even Dad would not admit it.
Azira's words immediately startled them. Even Dad did not think Azira would bring up the words that had been thrown from his mouth first. Really, deep in his heart he felt a very uncomfortable feeling. He was the one who uttered those cruel words but he was also the one who felt hurt by Azira's rejection now.
"You.!" Mama didn't know what to say, she choked on her own saliva listening to what Azira said.
Mom wiggles Dad's arm.
"Just tell him something!" Said angry.
Father let out a long sigh, "Let me be your father-"
"Same. I'm the same. I am your daughter after all. Your blood is flowing in my body. But this reason means absolutely nothing to you, you still throw me away. Letting me live on the streets with my mom. I'm sorry, I can't forget what you've done to us." Cut Azira relaxed.
I don't know, talking about the past with Dad wasn't as scary as I thought. Maybe because there is a husband who is always by his side and maybe also because there is Umi who continues to provide support to him.
Anyway with them, he wasn't too scared.
"Son?" I was shocked to hear Azira's words.
He did not expect that Azira would say all this clearly in front of others. Dad felt embarrassed, but compared to this shame he felt sad.
