Not the Perfect Wife
134. S2 - Cancellation of engagement
In the family home Rizki. looked cold and tense faces were sitting in the living room. Sarah looked at Annisa with a cynical look. Everyone could see that the woman did not like Rizki's lover.
"Why did you bring that woman here?" asked Sarah in her snide voice.
"Ma, don't talk like that, she's Rizki's boyfriend and I'm going to marry her" Rizki said.
"Mama would never approve of it. You're only going to marry Nayla, not another woman let alone her."
"Tante, sorry. Not that I refuse, but since Rizky already loves another woman, how can I marry her? Look at their love. If forced, it will also not be good for our household later" said Nayla.
The girl could see Rizki's love so great for her lover. If they stay married, Nayla has no idea how their household will be. Judging from the character of the man who was very indifferent, it was certain that their household would feel cold.
"But Aunt doesn't like him. Because of that woman, Rizki has dared to yell at Auntie. Now it's rare to come home, surely because of that woman."
"Ma, if Mama is angry with me, just be angry I'm not rude with Anisa. Don't throw my mistakes at Anisa." Rizki tries to defend Anisa. He does not want anyone to vilify his lover and without him knowing, his attitude is increasingly hurting Sarah.
"You see, Nay. Until this moment he is still defending the woman," Sarah said as she looked at Nayla and turned to her son. "Until any time Mama will only approve you marrying Nayla."
"Ma, I can't marry Nayla, because Anisa is currently pregnant with my child" Rizki said in the end.
Actually he did not want to say this to his mother, but seeing Sarah's stubborn attitude, Rizki was forced to say it.
Sarah froze up. She is shocked to hear her son's words, that Anisa is currently pregnant. What about the engagement he planned to separate them? Rizki should have known that her mother didn't like her. Why did that man make a mistake now?
"Why did you get that far? Mama never taught you to treat women like this. It must be because he's the one who teased you, right?"
Sarah is emotional, she is angry and also shy. The woman felt like a mother who did not want to educate children. Though he had been trying to do the best for his son, but everything just vanished.
"Ma, it's both our fault. It's not just Anisa" said Rizki.
"I'm sure it's all from that woman." Sarah does not like Annisa because according to her, the woman only brought bad effects to Rizki.
Previously, his son was a person who valued him greatly. Now, let alone respect, even speaking politely is no more. Even Sarah also never saw Rizki teaching like before.
"I'm sorry, Ma. At that time I was caliph," said Rizki regretfully.
Sarah was silent with an empty look. Her tears kept dripping. His hurt and disappointment left him unable to say anything more. Lost his pride all this time because of the wrong association.
"Ma, don't over-strain them. Just let them choose their own partner" said Papa Rizki.
"Why Papa always defends him. She is not a good choice to be Rizki's wife. Mama doesn't agree."
"Mama agrees or not, Rizky will still be married to Anisa," said Rizki.
"Come to you please marry the woman you want. Mama has also given up on your choice" Sarah said without looking at her son.
The woman turned to look at Nayla and said, "Nay, Aunt is sorry. Aunty asked you to be Rizki's wife, but today Aunt's son chose another woman to be his wife."
"Tante don't apologize, I understand Auntie's intentions, maybe Rizki and I are not a match" said Nayla with both hands of Sarah.
"Thank you for understanding" Sarah said with a forced smile. "Tante is a little dizzy. Auntie lives first, huh? If you want to talk, please."
"Tante, isn't pa-pa?" nayla asked, she was worried about the woman's health.
"It's okay, Auntie's fine. Auntie comes in first, huh?"
"No need, you just sit down. Enjoy drink. Auntie's getting a break." Sarah just walked away, without looking at Rizki and her lover.
"Papa wants to go in first. Just enjoy the meal" said Papa Rizki. The man followed his wife into the room. He knew that Sarah right now must be very disappointed in her son.
"Sir, is Aunt Sarah okay? I was worried that he would get sick" asked Nayla, looking at Sarah.
"It's okay, tomorrow you're back to health."
Nayla just nodded. Even in her heart, she was still worried about Sarah's health. The girl had taken care of her sick mother so, Nayla was worried about the woman.
"Sister, I have to go home. It was night, not good with the neighbors," said Nayla.
"Need to deliver? Let papa's driver drop by."
"No need, Brother. I brought a car, really. It's not too late either."
"Yes, then. You be careful on the road."
"Yes, thank you" said Nayla. "Come, sister Anisa! I say goodbye, assalamualaikum."
"Yes, careful. Waalaikumsalam," said Anisa.
Nayla leaves Rizki's house in her car. On the way he thought, is it possible that this failure of his engagement was due to Aydin's prayer last afternoon? The girl smiled thinking about it.
'But I can't take Mas Aydin for granted. I don't know, he can keep his promise or not. Let time answer it. May God give me the best soul mate. Right now the most important thing is how to make my efforts grow smoothly. I don't want to disappoint Mother Yasna and also the buyers.'
Nayla drove her car to her house. Today, he will sleep alone. The thing that the girl disliked the most lately was because she felt so lonely.
*****
This evening Yasna prepared dinner with the help of Afrin and Nuri. His daughter, back to sleep in this house. They have tasks to complete immediately.
"Lady, if you like to cook at home?" ask Yasna.
"Just help a little, Mother. If not helped, my mom likes to grumble. Understandably, Mother, we don't have assistants like here so, whatever it is all done alone."
"Good, dong! It can make you independent."
"Mama also said that. Later if you have a husband is used to cooking and the husband is at home. Even though I was in tenth grade, I also wanted to have fun like other students," Nuri said with a frown.
"Can't do that. Every parent wants the best for their child. You must obey them, do as they command. God willing your life will be a blessing" Yasna advised.
"Yes, Mother."
