Micheal Emerson's Choice
Episode 40's
"Jaga Zenwa is fine, Mikail!" For the umpteenth time, Mommy Firda confirmed it to Micheal who made Micheal snort.
"Astagfirullah, Ummi. Ummi spoke like that and continued as if I was not a trustworthy husband, I must have kept Zenwa, just calm down." he said confidently.
"Where are you from? Just a week as a husband, the wife has been brought hard," continued his father who made Micheal snort.
They are all on their way to the airport, and Michael had grumbled because he had to get on a regular plane because his father's private jet was being used for a very important job by Om Billy he said.
While Zenwa, since then she just quietly listened to her husband's family that looks unique, even occasionally Zenwa laughs amusedly when Micheal was hit by her Mommy scolding.
"Zenwa, if Miheal is unfair with you, you report directly to us yes, son," said Mommy Firda and Zenwa could only nod with a deep smile.
"God, I was in high school, cooking can't be fair, Ummi. In Shaa Allah, I can be fair" said Micheal.
"The theory is fair you can learn in school, but whether you can really be fair or not, it depends on you!" His determination that made Micheal could only silence, while Zenwa could only singleness a faint smile. "And remember too, treat Zenwa very well, because for the sake of following you and being devoted to you, he was willing to leave his family who had been taking care of him and always gave happiness to him." he continued, which made Zenwa touched, especially he had heard there were some people who said that the mother-in-law was annoying, but it seems Zenwa got a pleasant mother-in-law.
"And one more thing." continued Daddy Gabriel and glanced at Zenwa from the glass, "Be careful with Daddy's last name, Zenwa." he continued which made Zenwa immediately frowned confused.
"meaning?" Ask Zenwa.
"You must know who Daddy was, Zenwa," Micheal replied.
"Of course I know, everyone in the village also knows that Daddy Don was a mobster, but now Daddy has repented and committed no more crimes" Zenwa said, making Daddy Gabriel smile wryly.
"The past is indeed behind, Zenwa. But it does not rule out the possibility that it will not affect the future. Since not all of my enemies like Gio are willing to make peace with me, there must still be people who have grudges buried in me and could be my family they are after." Zenwa was goosebumps hearing his father-in-law's words and he just remembered that his father-in-law was a Don Mafia because all this time his father-in-law had really become a figure of role model.
"Why? You scared?" Micheal asked who saw the look on Zenwa's face change instantly.
"Em, no. I just realized it" replied Zenwa.
"Don't worry, as long as we don't bother people, In Shaa Allah people won't bother us." Micheal said firmly, as if reassuring and calming Zenwa.
"Yes, Dad," Micheal replied.
Soon after they reached the airport, Micheal got off and he dropped off his big Zenwa suitcase.
Before parting ways, Micheal's parents again gave various messages and Micheal only responded lazily, in contrast to Zenwa who listened carefully.
.........
On the plane, Zenwa kept staring out the window while imagining the family she left behind to follow and be devoted to her husband. There was a feeling of sadness that still enveloped Zenwa's heart, especially just a few days ago they lost a figure who had been perfecting their lives.
"What's wrong?" Asked Michael who saw Zenwa daydreaming.
"A few days ago Brother Arin left us, and now I leave ummi and abi, too" said Zenwa sadly.
"Who said you left them? You just follow your husband and you can still go home whenever you want, they can also visit you." Zenwa smiled at what Micheal said.
"Thank you" said Zenwa later, who made Michael frown.
"For?" Ask Micheal.
"You've been a caring son-in-law."
"Of course, when I married you, they were also my parents" Micheal said. "Oh yeah, do you want to work later? You can work in Daddy's office later."
"I don't want to work in an office, I just want to be a teacher, if you'll let me."
