Marrying for Threats
episode 203
Zelin painstakingly brought her brother home. He's the one who took over driving the car. On the way home there was only silence, there was the sound of vehicles passing around the streets. Zelin does not intend to open the conversation, he prefers to focus on driving a car. The car arrived at the home. She got out of the car but her brother hasn't come down yet.
" Sister, it's here." Zelin said as she bent her body looking at her brother who was still sitting quietly beside the steering chair.
Ziko did not budge, she was still daydreaming about the incident, daydreaming about the problem. He was shocked by the sound of the car door closing. He looked next to her, there was no sister there. He looked around again. Ziko only realized that she had reached her home. With a shaky step he entered the house.
" Where's your brother?" Madame Amel said to her youngest child. It wasn't long before Ziko came into the house. She saw her mother talking to her sister. Madam Amel immediately hugged her eldest child. The middle-aged woman was concerned to see her son's household.
Ziko left her mother, she chose to go into her room. Madam Amel and the great master saw her son there was no sense of spirit anymore in her. The middle-aged woman pulled her son's hand into the living room.
" Can you find Zira's place?" Madam Amel was curious.
Zelin nodded her head, as she got up from the sofa. But Miss Amel held her son's hand.
" Tell me to mom and dad, did you guys meet Zira?" ask Miss Amel again.
" Yes ma, we've met brother Zira. Can I eat. My middle stomach is already dancing to fill." Zelin said while holding her stomach. He could no longer endure his hunger. It's been almost 4 hours they've been at Zira's house. And without eating a bit. Zelin went to the dining table, he wanted to enjoy his delayed dinner.
" Pa looks like Ziko hasn't eaten either, mama's worried she's sick." Madam Amel left her husband sitting in the living room.
Madam Amel took the rice, side dish and put it on the plate. And some of the fruit that has been cut.
" Mister take this to Ziko's room." Said Mrs Amel to Mr. Budi. Mr. Budi put the plate on the tray. And take him upstairs. The middle-aged man knocked on the door of the room, several times there was no reply from inside the room. Mr. Budi ventured to open the door, still worried about the incident a few days ago, when he and Zelin saw his master lying helplessly in the room. The middle-aged man looked at his employer on his back while looking at the ceiling of the room.
" I'm sorry to bother you, this is what I brought you for dinner." Said mr. Budi. But Ziko didn't budge at all. He is at war in his own mind. Mr. Budi came out of the room and told the big lady.
" I've brought food to the room, but it seems like the master is thinking about something, he did not flinch at all when I was in the room." Said Mr. Budi explaining.
" Okay sir, I'll see him in the room." Mrs Amel said, directly walking up the stairs. In the mistress room Amel found her son exactly as he said Mr. Budi. Madam Amel shook her son's hand. Ziko flinched and immediately sat on the edge of the mattress.
" Eat, baby." Madam Amel gave a tray containing food.
" I don't have an appetite." Ziko said quickly.
From the expression that Ziko gave her, showing that her son's plan to seduce Zira did not work. Although Madam Amel did not ask but can be read from the look of her son's sad face.
" You should eat, how you raise your child, if you're like this yourself." Madam Amel said encouragingly.
" What could we possibly be raising our children together." Ziko said doubtfully.
" Ko, you don't give up, mama knows you must be desperate for rejection from Zira. But that doesn't mean you give up. You must fight back to win Zira's sympathy again." Madame Amel said quickly.
" How can I win Zira's sympathy, when I can't meet her, we just talk there's a distance." Ziko grumbled annoyed at the situation.
" Ko, the harder it is for you to take Zira's love, the harder it is for you to let go." Madam Amel assures her son. He said his son's marriage was because of the threat he gave to Zira. With the threat it makes Ziko quickly able to have Zira. Ziko gets Zira through an easy process and without a long process. This caused Ziko to easily release her wife.
" How can I win Zira's heart back." Ziko hesitated as she looked at the faces of her parents.
" First you must be eager to rise from adversity, like this." Madam Amel said showing the plate to the front of her son. Ziko received the plate that her mother gave her.
" Secondly, do not torment your body, by not eating anything. It's called you add torment to yourself."
" The third one, you should pay attention to Zira." Mrs Amel said again.
" How does ma?"
" You can send something to Zira's house. It could be flowers, dolls or something else. That way slowly Zira will continue to remember you." Miss Amel said again.
Ziko began to understand her mother's intentions. He's going to start sending something tomorrow to Zira's house.
" Eat it." Madame Amel said, reminding her of her son.
" I have trouble eating ma, somehow some days I often get dizzy and nauseous especially in the morning, my body is lazy to move and I must be vomiting, I vomit, and I just want to eat fresh." Ziko said quickly.
" Have you checked with the doctor?" ask Miss Amel worried.
" Already, said Diki I don't hurt anything just a regular dizziness." Ziko said quickly.
" How long have you been feeling lightheaded like this." Madam Amel said curiously.
" These last few weeks." Ziko said again.
Madam Amel was silent for a moment while thinking of something.
" It looks like you're cravings." Madame Amel said quickly.
" What does mama mean?" Ziko's confused.
" Yes, usually if our wife is pregnant must experience the name of cravings, Zira is pregnant so the one who has cravings is you." Madam Amel smiled faintly.
" Did Zira also experience something like this?" Ziko said curiously.
" Maybe it may not."
" What cravings are dangerous for pregnant women and their fetuses?" ask Ziko again worried.
" Yes the danger if the mother does not want to eat something, then it can endanger the fetus. Because the fetus only gets nutrients from its mother." Miss Amel explained.
Ziko became worried about hearing her mother's explanation. He was worried that Zira could not eat anything. It will affect his son.
" Mommy, I'm afraid my son doesn't eat anything." Ziko said worriedly.
" Mama thinks Zira knows how to handle it." Madame Amel said quickly.
" Ma, what if Zira hates the child she has." Ziko said worriedly.
" What do you mean?"
Ziko explained about her meeting with Zira. He also expressed his feelings to his wife.
" How did Zira react when you said that." Miss Amel said again.
" He felt that I only loved him because there was our son in his stomach. The rest is not." Ziko said worriedly.
Lady Amel calmed her son, so as not to think of strange things, even though she did have a sense of concern hearing Ziko's words. But Miss Amel tried to be calm.
" It's natural that Zira would say that, because suddenly you say love to her when you already know there is your seed there. But according to mama Zira can control her emotions and can be wise." Madam Amel's words calmed her son.
Ziko felt calm hearing the explanation from her mother. Mrs Amel wants to see her daughter-in-law, she said it was accepted or rejected later it would not matter. He just wants to establish a friendship that broke up because of his own son.
