Mahram To Azira
Chapters 11.1

"Frida, why are you still outside, son?" While coming out of the room, Aunt Indring accidentally met her daughter in the living room.

Frida turned her head, when she found out it was Indring's aunt, she immediately turned her face pouting. The one who was waiting for was not Indring's aunt, but Kenzie. Yes, not without reason he waited. Because after dinner last night, Frida had said something to Kenzie.

Flashbacks

"Mas Kenzie, wait." Frida hurriedly chased after Kenzie who was about to go upstairs.

He had already confirmed that Azira was busy in the kitchen so he could talk to Kenzie freely. He assumed that if Azira was here his plan would not work. Who knows what tricks Azira tried to get Kenzie's attention. In fact, he suspects that Kenzie was actually used by Azira. He was between believing and not believing in magic. But seeing Kenzie's reaction and closeness when interacting with Azira who incidentally as a wild woman who came from nowhere, Frida believes Kenzie is used.

"What's wrong?" Kenzie stopped his steps.

His eyes blinked staring at the stairs in front.

"Mas... Hasn't I felt weird all this time?" Ask Frida carefully.

"No." Kenzie said he was not interested.

Frida clenched her hands nervously.

"Yes, doesn't Kenzie feel weird every time he gets close to Azira?" Ask demanding.

It can't be weird. You see, Kenzie's attitude when meeting Azira is too soft compared to his attitude when meeting other women. Frida cannot accept it and always thinks that there is something wrong with Azira.

Frowning, "Nothing strange." Kenzie.

What's weird, unless he sees that Azira's been getting interesting lately. I don't know, he thinks Azira is always interesting in some ways and unconsciously makes himself often think of Azira. Whether in the hospital or at home, sometimes he unconsciously thinks what Azira is doing if not what Azira is thinking now. He thought like this, well, looking around there was something strange about him.

"No, no, no, no! There really is something strange about Kenzie. I'm afraid this matter will make Kenzie's life unhappy in the future." Frida said stubbornly.

Kenzie smiled slightly.

"What else do you think? First, when you came home from the hospital, you confronted me and said things that were not true, especially this matter I chose to forgive you because you have apologized to my wife. But now, this is the second time you've spoken strangely, as if to say that my wife has something unapproachable. Have you slept enough?" Kenzie's lazy tone spoke indifferently to him.

Kenzie has been silent all this time does not mean he wants to be fooled by Frida. His silence proved that he did not believe nor did he care what Frida said. But if Frida keeps going like this, looking for trouble for his wife, then Kenzie won't keep quiet.

"I'm serious this time. Okay, I'm sorry about that. Because I was really angry with my wife so I accidentally evaporated my emotions. But this time I'm really serious, I'm not lying." Frida said seriously.

He's not lying at all. He felt that there was something wrong with Azira. Just look from Umi, Abah, Sasa to Kenzie, they all received Azira in this house and even protected her. This doesn't make sense, does it?

Which crazy family would accept a wild woman into their home?

Moreover, the wild woman damaged people's marriages, normally the reaction of people will stay away from her or even send her to prison. But this is not, not at all. This family reaction was very open, as if a failed marriage did not hurt them too much.

"Have you finished talking? Then I'll go back to my room. I don't want to be seen alone with another woman, because my wife is jealous." Kenzie is reluctant to serve his over-fantasy thinking.

Frida was very nervous and upset. He wanted to talk to Kenzie longer.

"How is... How about we talk after Azira sleeps?" Frida looked at Kenzie expectantly.

Kenzie said nothing. But his smile drew a thin line. Insincerely.

It's a pity that Frida didn't notice this and thinks Kenzie's smile is an agreement.

"Okay, I'm waiting in the living room."

Kenzie went straight upstairs without giving an answer.

Flash back end

"Frida, asked why daydream, anyway? What are you doing out here alone? It's almost one o'clock at night, you don't sleep what?" Ask aunt Indring gagas.

His intention was to go out to take water because in the room the water was up. As he passed through the living room, he was shocked to see his daughter sitting there alone. Finally he came to say hello. Wondering could it be that her daughter is too sad because they will be out of this house tomorrow.

"I'm not sleepy, ma. I'm here waiting for Kenzie. We're meeting here." Said Frida showing off in front of Aunt Indring.

Aunt Indring frowned, not that she did not trust her daughter, but Kenzie's attitude towards them all along, even more so to her daughter had already shown that Kenzie had no respect at all.

Well it was all because of Azira, who else could make Kenzie behave that coldly to them. The snake lady must have said something bad about them to Kenzie.

Frida's not happy. Does aunt Indring not understand?

He and Kenzie made a pact to meet here, so how could he possibly sleep?

"This mama why the hell, later if I go and Kenzie come do not find me here how?" Ask annoyed.

Aunt Indring was silent. A few seconds later he asked his daughter.

"Did Kenzie tell you himself that he'll come down to see you here later?" Ask aunt Indring.

Upon hearing this question, he clearly saw that his daughter's face was somewhat evasive. Without even asking, she knew that her daughter had fooled herself.

"He didn't say it?" Guess aunt Indring.

Frida nodded her head hesitantly but was still looking for a justification for herself.

"Mas Kenzie didn't say he was coming here but when I asked him to come here he smiled. That means he's coming here, right?" Said Frida starting to be confident again.

Now Aunt Indring knows that her daughter is a fool.

"Stupid, smiling doesn't mean agreeing to your request, but maybe smiling because he's laughing at you. Try to say to your mom, before asking her to come here you must have said something to her?" Aunt Indring can see it.

Since the incident in the backyard, Aunt Indring has a new understanding of her daughter. His daughter is easily impulsive, makes decisions without thinking and unknowingly fools herself. Because of this carelessness, he not only damaged the trust of the homeowner but he also managed to be underestimated by the homeowner. If it continues like this then, Kenzie will be increasingly away from his daughter.

"Why keep quiet, you must have said something wrong with Kenzie?" Aunt Indring's face looked unsightly.

Frida knows she's angry.

"I didn't say anything wrong, ma. I'm talking facts. Mom's time is not noticed that Kenzie mas suddenly turned into someone else when he was with Azira. I suspect, ma, that Azira is using strange things to Kenzie and the rest of the family. Otherwise, why would everyone care so much about Azira? Their reactions should not be like this. They should have sent Azira out of this house or else reported her to the police, but they didn't do that. They protect Azira. I don't believe it. I'm sure Azira is using the magic to win everyone's heart. Mama don't-Aw! Mama why did you suddenly hit my head?!" Frida asked in surprise and anger.

He was talking seriously to his mother but suddenly his head was hit, who wouldn't get angry try?

"Let you realize that your words are slurring. Kenzie smiled, Your words are funny. Mama said don't think too much. If you're over-thinking, this is how it is, now Kenzie not only feels you're annoying but he also thinks that you're crazy. Frida, you've talked to me many times to not act impulsively. Mama knows you like Kenzie and she also knows that you're jealous of seeing Kenzie with Azira. But this isn't how it works? Because of your actions, all plans are ruined and in their eyes your name is too bad. Now what? Now you have to go back home and reflect on yourself. The stupidity you made in this house. Though my mother has reminded you to act in a beautiful, clean and neat way. Because what? Kenzie is not Frida's fool! He's much smarter than you. Do you think that your slurring of words can make his relationship stretch with Azira? You're wrong big time. He even has ilfil with you. So what's the solution?" Aunt Indring looked at her daughter seriously.

This time he would not forgive his foolish and hard-nosed daughter. Hate the taste, so hate to see the words of Umi's curmudgeonly when she wants to expel Frida from this house. He was so tired of hearing it. If not for Kenzie, she would have been screaming and bickering with Umi for listening more to Azira, the wild seed that came from nowhere than her daughter who was clearly far superior.

"Mama says play in a beautiful way. Use Azira's weakness in this house. Azira comes from a poor family, Mama heard she dropped out of school and her mother works as a night woman. You should use this weakness when dealing with Azira, automatically you will definitely attract Kenzie's attention. Use the advantages of yourself who are in high school, coming from a family background that is capable and good, not like you do in the park. Playing rough, really meaningless and even destroying yourself. Why not just use a subtle way, grab everyone's attention and that way you can have a voice in this house! Do you understand now, huh?" Ask aunt Indring sharply.

Frida was speechless hearing everything Indring's aunt said. Only then did he realize that he had gone too far and destroyed himself. And he also realized that what he said to Kenzie must be unacceptable. It was only natural that Aunt Indring scolded her. Now what, he has been playing impulsively and giving a very bad impression to everyone in this house. He's sorry now.

"Then... What do I do now, ma?" Tanya Frida was sad.

His face cheered when thinking about the person he had liked for so many years was so easy for others to obtain, wasn't that unfair?

"Expand your patience, son. Be a graceful and restrained woman. Try to eliminate your impulsive attitude so that you can cultivate yourself into a classy woman. Now it's your PR when you get back home. Calm yourself, and when you're ready, we can come to this house in a good way. Rest assured, Azira and Kenzie's relationship is not as good as it seems in public. Because my mom knows what kind of person Kenzie is. So don't worry. Just nurture yourself and when you're ready, we'll return to this house." Indring's aunt spoke softly to her daughter.

She understood how her daughter felt about Kenzie. She understood that was why she emphasized to her daughter to be a respectable woman, a woman whom Kenzie liked.

"Mama... My heart hurts, I'm sad." Frida said as she hugged Aunt Indring's waist.

"Then hold on, this is your fight. Now go back to the room. Because tomorrow morning we have to go back to town." Aunt Indring's whispers also felt the pain of seeing her daughter sad.

"When do we get back here?"

"So soon, you calm down." After comforting her daughter's grief-stricken feelings, Aunt Indring sent her to Sasa's room to rest.

...*****...

After the mother and child leave the living room. Someone who had been hiding behind the stairs finally showed his appearance. He stared at the backs of the two men with condescending eyes, laughing at the mother and child couple's chatter that was tinged with a high degree of confidence.

"I know that you have a certain purpose in coming to this house. But you think too much because Kenzie's mas isn't as stupid as you think." Annoyed annoyed.

Kenzie is hard to understand. But compared to the two of them, he understood Kenzie a lot more. They didn't know that Kenzie was a black-bellied man. Kenzie is full of intrigue and an elusive path of thought. For example Kenzie's spoiled attitude towards him recently.

"Well, it's a waste of time." Grieved annoyance.

He went upstairs and went into the room. Inside the room the lights had been turned off and left only the sleeping lights shining dimly. On the bed Kenzie was sound asleep, unaware that the person by his bedside had just returned from outside.
