Micheal Emerson's Choice
Episode 33

"Hopefully the plan of the same mother managed to bring Zenwa and Micheal closer" said Ummi Zainab while frying fish. "Actually I'm worried, Zenwa doesn't know the market" he continued.

"You really, they're so funny to each other. They need the help of others to get closer to each other, and Zenwa is already a wife, she must know the market." Omanya said while enjoying a piece of bread, the little thing actually reminded Ummi Zainab to Arini when he asked Arini to eat a lot because Arini looked thin. Umm Zainab's breath immediately stuck in her throat, now she understands why Arini always looks pale and getting thinner.

"You why? A real headache?" asked Oma who saw Umm Zainab daydreaming.

" I feel like I failed to be a mother to Arini, Mom. How could he be so sick and I don't know?" lirih Ummi Zainab and back both eyes felt hot and teary. Oma, who heard this, immediately felt guilty again, because she helped Arini hide the big secret.

"It's not you who failed, Zainab. It's just Arini's wish that you and Hamka don't want to live with fear and sadness because of what he's been suffering all this time, he's always afraid you're anxious and worried about him."

"But if we know, we can treat him, ma'am."

"We also treat it, Zainab. But this is his destiny. Therefore, now we should focus on Zenwa, because he is only our princess now. In addition, Arini loves Zenwa very much and also Micheal, he wants both people to be happy."

.........

In the market, Zenwa was like a daze, he looked at the sellers who were peddling his wares, then he stared at the paper containing his shopping list. While Micheal, he just stood behind Zenwa while enjoying the meat pentol he bought at the entrance, and he asked Zenwa for money which made Zenwa snort.

"Where should I shop?" zenwa asked puzzledly but Micheal just shrugged his shoulders.

"Yes, we buy fish first yes," he said and Micheal only nodded obediently.

They went to the fishmonger, and Zenwa chose a fish that looked brightly colored in his eyes without thinking about what kind of fish he was buying and at what price, and because at home there are 6 people, Zenwa bought 6 fish that are large enough.

"What's not most?" asked Micheal astonished.

"I think it's enough" said Zenwa confidently.

After buying fish, they look for chicken, beef, then continue with vegetables.

But when he was about to pay for vegetables, Zenwa was stunned because it turned out that his money had run out.

"So pay 150 fish, keep buying 200 thousand beef, buy chicken, 140 thousand, buy my pentol 10 thousand" said Micheal who made Zee stunned.

"You don't have any money?" asked Zenwa then while grimacing.

"I don't have a wallet," Micheal replied casually, which made Zenwa look up.

"You're busy, you're busy." grumbled Zenwa.

"So how, Neng? So buy the vegetables?" ask the seller's aunt who made Zenwa grimace.

"I'm sorry, Bi. The money ran out," said Zenwa honestly who made the seller snort because the vegetables Zenwa wanted had been put in plastic.

"Shopping or not? Nambahin only work." his grunts that made Zenwa feel ashamed.

The two of them immediately left from there, Zenwa pouted while Micheal just chuckled.

"It's not your fault, what else is 500 grand enough for?" ask Micheal.

"Maybe I should have bought a little, usually Ummi to the market every two days" Zenwa murmured.

"True, what is a 6-tailed fish for? If over time the freezer is not good," he said.

"Know ah.." annoyed Zenwa who made Micheal chuckle.

"Already, don't pout. Your husband's a rich man's son, we'll shop again, if you want to buy this market also Daddy can afford."
