Not the Perfect Wife
222. S2 - Stay cool
As he said yesterday with papa Emran. Today, Afrin made an appointment with Khairi at a restaurant and chose to book a private room. He also brought Zahra. There was no way that the girl was just alone with Khairi, it would further add to the problem.
At first Zahra refused, but due to Afrin's insistence, the girl finally agreed on the condition that she would wear earphones as the two spoke. Zahra did not want to interfere with her best friend's business. Afrin agrees with that.
Afrin told me what she was going to do. Zahra disagreed because she believed Khairi must have had a reason, but her best friend remained clumsy with her stance. Not long after, Khairi finally came. He was also with Ivan.
"Assalamualaikum, I thought you were alone, so I invited Ivan, it turns out there is your friend," said Khairi who had just arrived.
"Vaalaikumsalam. Yeah, it's okay. Brother Ivan, can also sit. I have ordered what food you want to add? Perhaps my order is not to your liking?"
"No need, whatever you order I will eat it," Khairi replied with a smile, but was responded flatly by Afrin.
"I don't want to make small talk, just go straight to the problem. I want to cancel our wedding plans."
Khairi was surprised to hear that. He turned his eyes towards Afrin. Did he not hear wrong? Cancel it just like that? For no apparent reason?
"What do you mean? Yesterday you yourself accepted it and now you just canceled it, when my parents agreed too!" said Khairi who had started to feel emotion, but he still tried not to scream in front of his heart.
"I'm sorry, but it's the best for us" Afrin replied, looking down to try to keep her tears from falling.
"No, I'll never cancel our wedding. This marriage will still happen and inevitably you have to carry it out" Khairi said firmly. He could sense if something was covered by Afrin.
"Why do you mean me?"
"Why not? It was you alone, right, who accepted my proposal and now wants to just cancel it. Now tell me, what's your reason for canceling our wedding plans?"
"There's no excuse. I just wanted to cancel it."
"That's an old-fashioned reason, there must be something that makes you want to cancel it. Just tell me, maybe I can take it." Khairi looked at Afrin's agitated face. Right guess if his future wife is in a dilemma. "Why silence? Just say!"
"Because I don't want to be called the usurper of people's fiancee" Afrin finally replied.
Khairi scrunched his forehead, trying to digest what afrin said. After a few seconds he finally understood, it was about Vira. The thing that the man had been afraid of before and it finally happened as well. It must have been that the woman was angry at Afrin and turned it on because the Khairi family had already annulled the match.
"Just because of that you want to cancel our wedding plans? Why don't you trust me? You just listen to it unilaterally."
"Whatever the reason, I'll still cancel this wedding plan."
"I'll tell you everything, after that it's up to you to cancel it or not" Khairi said. "Vira's parents came to Papa and proposed an arranged marriage between Vira and me. Papa had refused, but Vira's father forced him with various reasons and offers given to papa. Forced papa to agree on the condition that if I don't like Vira, then our family can't force it. They agreed and finally the matchmaking happened without my knowledge. Mama was angry because papa just agreed. Everyone knows, you also know, how the two parents Vira. They both have an affair. Mama was afraid of Vira just like her parents. Judging from the character of the girl, I was also afraid of what Mama was afraid of. Not only that, I don't have any feelings for her either."
"Why didn't you ever tell me about this matchmaking?" afrin asked with tears dripping Khairi could not bear.
The man had promised himself, would not make his heart sad let alone cry like this. But today the tears came out and he was the cause. Khairi wants to wipe Afrin's tears away, but is rejected by the girl
"How can I tell you that I don't know myself either. Papa says everything when I want to marry you."
"I'm sorry for not telling you the truth."
Afrin was silent, and Ivan too, had just learned about Khairi's match with Vira. While Zahra she heard nothing just cool listening to music.
"I'm sorry, but I'm still gonna cancel our wedding plans." Khairi closed his eyes. Dealing with this girl was not as easy as he thought.
"We will continue to perform the marriage. I'll make sure of that."
If Afrin insists on canceling the wedding plans, Khairi will be tougher than Afrin. The man will try his hardest to keep what he has been fighting for.
"I don't want to be considered someone else's fiancee."
"Regarding Vira, let it be my business" Khairi said. "Where was Afrin the bad guy first? Who doesn't care what other people say?"
Afrin fell silent, the girl also did not know why she felt hurt when Vira was angry with her. Whereas before Afrin never thought about what people talk about him, even impressed stupid.
As Afrin was engrossed in his thoughts, their order had already come. Khairi thanked the waiter before they left
"Eat first, don't think too much. I'll finish everything well. You just have to trust me" Khairi said.
Afrin ate the dish, Zahra also took off her earphones at the request of her best friend. They eat with silence. Khairi knew, surely at this time his heart was unable to calm down.
The man promised to make a calculation to the Vira family because it had made Afrin's tears drip. She had never done it, how dare others make her cry.
After eating, Afrin intends to go first. Khairi, who was going to drive her, was rejected by the girl because she herself was also carrying a car with Zahra. However, before Afrin left, she said something to the man. Words that Khairi never expected.
"I'm sorry, I'm still going to cancel the wedding plans. Although later Vira and you are not married.my determination is already unanimous and it can not be disturbed by anyone so, I hope you respect my decision." Afrin soon passed without waiting for an answer from Khairi. Both of his hands the man clenched firmly.
'All because of Vira and her family, she had to pay for all this.'
"Ivan, call Vira. Tell me I want to meet," Khairi said in a flat voice.
"Good, Sir."
