Mahram To Azira
Chapters 5.10

After Sasa entered the house, the figure hiding behind the door finally came out of hiding. He looked at the back of his sister who was walking far away without looking back, then turned to look at the skinny woman who was now sweeping the backyard. The skinny and weak figure looked lacking a lot of meat even though he was wearing loose-fitting robe clothing. The loose clothing he was wearing was unable to hide how frail the body was. Moving to and fro to collect the foliage litter on the ground, the frail body gave an illusion that at times it would collapse if it moved too much.

"Azira, stop working. Let's have breakfast."

The body that had been relaxed again stiffened when it heard Kenzie's call. He then turned his head to look at the sky above, slowly the sunlight began to sweep away the darkness that had reigned.

"It's morning." Azira Whispe.

He had no idea when Kenzie had come home because his mind had been distracted.

"Wait a minute. I have to finish my job." Azira again swung her tongue broom sweeping the leaves on the ground.

"I said come here." Press Kenzie.

Azira is stubborn.

"Mas first, after finishing the work I will follow. My mom also said I can't work half-time, pamali."

Kenzie pursed his lips no longer speaking. Azira thought that he had left because he had not heard a sound from her. But a few seconds later, his hand was suddenly pulled and the broomstick he was holding was thrown to the edge.

"Go. Get used to listening when told. And what I'm saying is just old-fashioned wits so as not to be lazy."

Azira gawked. For a moment he was confused. Honestly, Azira was surprised Kenzie called her Mother 'Mother' and not 'Your Mother'. Did Azira think too much and expect Kenzie to acknowledge her mother-in-law as Mother-in-law?

"Why shut up? Let's go, everyone's waiting for us inside." Kenzie pulls Azira along with him, but Azira refuses to move.

"Sasa sent me breakfast. I can eat it here and go in, because Abah and Umi are waiting inside."

Kenzie instantly averted his eyes staring at the food tray on the table. He then opened the hood. Inside there is a plate of fried rice along with side dishes and a glass of water. The breakfast was delicious, but somehow unsightly in his eyes.

Blinking faintly, he pulled Azira and sat down on the garden chair. The other hand took the tray, placed it on his own thigh.

Azira did not guess at all this action. He thought Kenzie would join the breakfast with the others, but what did he see at the moment? Kenzie stayed here and had breakfast with him. Already so they ate one plate together and the most surprising thing was, Kenzie bribed him.

"I'm..." Azira was uncomfortable looking at the flat expression on her husband's face and was forced to swallow the words to be spoken, next by opening her mouth to take a bribe from her husband.

After Azira took the first bribe, the husband took the second. Kenzie continues to do this until the food on the plate runs out without leaving 1 grain of rice.

"Get used to not leaving any food on the plate." He said while handing the water to Azira.

Azira is shy, it feels weird to be treated like this by Kenzie. Thinking about how she had breakfast with her husband, that strange sigh came back to life in her heart. What is this feeling?

"Yes, mas. I'm used to spending whatever's on my plate. My mother taught me that everything we eat should be grateful for. Because what is eaten today is not necessarily edible next day" Azira was stunned to see her husband watching her speak and she knew that he was saying something wrong.

"I'm sorry, I talk too much." Azira realized that she was talking too much and immediately shut her mouth. Then obediently sip the white water inside the glass.

After feeling enough, Azira hesitates to return the glass to her husband. Dilemma, in the end decided to put the glass on the tray but was immediately taken by the husband. Under the shock of Azira's eyes, the husband drank water in a glass in the same place as Azira. The husband's expression remained flat and mediocre, while Azira felt her body instantly limp and her cheeks felt hot.

Dugs

The sound of his heartbeat rippled in his chest. His fingers squeezing each other strangely trembled amidst this strange swirling.

"What's wrong?" Kenzie raised one of his eyebrows asking.

Embarrassed, Azira spontaneously turned her gaze to look the other way, "It's nothing..."
