Mahram To Azira
Chapters 7.3

Umi stared in disbelief at Abah. The covenant business 20 years ago he had no idea because at the time Abah was working out of town while he remained at home. It was only after many years ago that Brother told about his agreement with Azira's father. He says that his life has been saved by Father Azira's partner so he has a debt of gratitude that can not be paid with money. To repay him he made a marriage agreement for the children. Umi initially disagreed with Abah's decision. But when she found out that her husband's life was almost taken, she felt that this decision was not too excessive.

And she thinks the place her husband owes her is Mama Humairah, which is why she treats Mama Humairah so well trying to make a friendship. As long as friends never once Mama Humairah bring up the past that makes Umi confused and amazed. She thinks Mama Humairah is humble. But after hearing her husband's explanation now, she understood why Mama Humairah had never brought up the past. Not because he was humble, but because he knew nothing about the past.

"Why didn't Abah ever tell me this?" Umi demanded an answer to Abah.

This was a very important matter, but why did her husband not tell her such an important matter. And behold what she had done to the generous daughter who had saved her husband's life, she insulted and humbled him. His guilt now flooded in the heart. If he could he would hug Azira now to apologize for everything he had done to her.

"I didn't say it because I thought Azira had never been born into this world. All I know is that she was pregnant with Azira at that time. And I don't know if Azira was male or female at birth, but one thing I told the woman was that if the one who was born was female then Kenzie would be paired with her. But if the one born is a man, then Kenzie will accept him as a brother. It wasn't me who defined these words at the time but Kenzie was the one who said it himself. Perhaps being shaken by the event he made a very serious promise to the woman."

Everything was opened by Abah. Dad didn't know where to put his face because the agreement never seemed to be forgotten by Abah. He thought that by replacing Azira, everything would go according to his expectations. Although he could not bring the woman home, but his relationship with Abah would never be interrupted because there was Humairah as a substitute.

"Is what you're saying true, ma'am?" Mama is heartbroken.

He did not know that there was a big secret behind the deal. Because her husband just said that he had a serious marriage agreement with the Kenzie family because of friendly relations. He thought it didn't have a story of its own, but who knows if there was a piece of the story he missed.

"What you said is true. But Humairah is also my daughter, she's been in love with Kenzie since she first met. And I also know that Kenzie feels the same way about my daughter. Isn't it okay to replace the object of arranged marriage with Humairah? In any case Humairah is also my daughter, she has the right to marry Kenzie." I don't understand what Abah means.

What Abah thinks is inversely proportional to what Dad thinks. Mama and Aunt Safa also agreed with what Dad said. Logically, Humairah is also the son of Father, and besides Humairah has been in a relationship with Kenzie. So it's fitting that Humairah has the greatest opportunity with Kenzie.

"real brother. We saw with our own two eyes how Humaira grew up at home. She has a gentle heart, a loving soul, and has made many achievements in academics as well as non-academics. Azira grew up out there without our supervision. We don't know how she grew up, to what extent her education went, and whether she had good morality because her mother worked as a night woman at a nightclub. If the mother who gave birth to him just works like that, then it does not rule out the possibility of Azira following in his mother's footsteps. We don't know what happened while he was out there? So Rama's decision to replace Azira was right in my opinion. Humairah proved the quality of his life. Brother also saw for himself, right how Humairah? He is a perfect match for your son. With Humairah, the children who are born later, God assured them. And I'm pretty sure that the kids will go down the two natures of their parents. This is the problem, what will be the children born from the womb of Azira later? Maybe he was once cared for by another man? Right, we can't guess. So why not choose the better one when you have been faced with a much better choice? It's for the future of families and children." Auntie Safa spoke with an open mind. Give a logical and reasonable reason to make Abah change his mind.

What he said was a fact like that. They all know that Azira's mother's work is unusual. And with dangerous work does not rule out the possibility of Azira also dragged. Hey, this is the night world. A glittering world that was extremely difficult to avoid for those who had entered it. Bibi Safa believes Azira is following in her mother's footsteps. Whynot?

Azira is honestly charming and beautiful if doing treatment. Moreover, he was still young, so it was only natural that he became a prima donna for the striped male out there. Suffice Mother Azira as her access into the world, is this not only natural?

"Is what I said not clear? I never said that I made a pact with you because the person who saved me back then was Azira's mother. Azira's mother is a benefactor in my life so of course I will promise her. In that agreement whether it was a man or a woman that he was born with, I would still keep it. While you, no matter if you marry another woman and have children with her, I will not care. For I have made no promise to you. Regardless of how good Humairah is, I can't take it because there's this promise just for Azira. I admit that the agreement that took place between Humairah and Kenzie was a misunderstanding, I thought Azira was not in this world so I decided to accept Humairah. But God brought Azira so that my promise could be kept. Regardless of whether he was raised the wrong way or the right way, I don't care at all. I believe in my son. He can educate his children well if God allows them to have children. There's also me and my wife. We can't possibly let our grandchildren take the wrong path. As long as we are both still breathing, we will help them to take care of the children. In addition to your doubts about the sanctity of Azira, I simply listen to Kenzie's voice. Like you said just now, you don't know what life is like out there and how to live it, so why should I listen to the voice of someone who knows nothing? Just listen to Kenzie. She is now her husband, as a husband she knows much better how his wife is. Whether he's holy or not, Kenzie knows better than you. The proof that he never said anything about Azira to us is Kenzie's acceptance of Azira. Then why would we ruin this marriage if Kenzie didn't say anything?" Not as expected by Safa's aunt and Mama, what Abah said made them instantly silent.
