Painful Marriage
CHAPTER 182

🌹HAPPY READING🌹

"Mother," called Sela with a quivering voice and still hugged Zahra.

"Yes, son" replied Zahra.

"Sela durhaka no mother if you do not want to have a partner like Dad?"

.....

Time shows at half-time three in the afternoon. Kenzo had finished his meeting since eleven o'clock. And without wanting to for long, he immediately slid back home to see his son and wife.

Kenzo's car arrived in front of his house. Kenzo gets out of the car and allows Arman to return to the office to take care of the rest of his work. I don't know, Kenzo would love to spend time with his family today.

Kenzo saw another car in his garage. "It's gone home" murmured Kenzo. Because Kenzo got a call from Zahra that he was going to play at Dee's house after Sela left school.

Without a second thought, Kenzo immediately stepped into the house.

Up in the guest room, Kenzo looked to the right and left, apparently no one. Kenzo stepped up his legs to climb the second floor stairs. Sayup-dyed, Kenzo heard a voice from Sela's room.

Kenzo's steps stopped in front of Sela's bedroom door because he heard the words of two people he loved so much. The slightly open door made it easier for Kenzo to see and hear without being caught.

"Sela durhaka no mother if you do not want to have a partner like Dad?" sela looked at Zahra with her cheeks wet with tears. Truly, a feeling of guilt approached the boy because of his own thoughts towards Kenzo.

"Why ask like that, son?" ask Zahra gently.

"Mother" called Sela again without answering Zahra's question.

"Yes dear," replied Zahra softly.

"Sela's friend said at school, her sister had a boyfriend, and that boyfriend was our partner. Mama's friend Sela told her to find a partner who loves us and never left us like a father or Papa. And just now, Grandpa also said that we should look for a partner who loves us and never leaves us, Mother. Shasa said he wanted to have a partner like Papa Aska. Because Papa Aska never left Mama Kina," explained Sela at length with all the explanations that had been captured by her smart brain.

"Then?" ask Zahra gently.

Sela looked fearfully at Zahra. He hesitated to convey it, but his heart said that he had to talk. The boy's eyes were already very wet, as well as his cheeks.

"All of Sela's friends want to have a partner like their Father, Mother. But can Sela choose not to?" asked the boy staring fearfully at Zahra. She was afraid that her mother would be angry about being picky.

Kenzo, who was standing at the door, heard his son's words. Kenzo knows what causes Sela this way. His son is not a child who thinks nothing. The child has long thoughts and memories.

Sela tried to open her mouth and ventured to tell Zahra. "Dad left us first, Buna. Sela was an orphan for a while. Sela does not want to be left too, hiks," said Sela crying and drowning her head in her stomach after saying that.

Astagfirullah. Inner Zahra was surprised after hearing the child's speech.

Is this mature son of a servant, O Allah? Inner Zahra did not believe. Really, this is not the age where Sela thinks of things like this. But what is this? His son was even able to digest the meaning of every explanation given by adults about this.

While at the door, Kenzo wiped away the tears that appeared without permission at the end of his eyes. Really, his past turned out to have a long-lasting effect on his son.

"Son, look at Mother Dear," said Zahra raised the face of Sela who was drowned in her stomach which slightly bulged due to her pregnancy.

With a hiccup Sela looked at her Mother.

"After all, I'm the best guy, son. But regarding the couple, it was Sela's own right later on. Whatever Sela's choice, Mommy and Dad will be supportive. All parents, certainly want the best for their children," said Zahra gave understanding to Sela.

"And one more, son. Not all children have to find a partner like their parents. Because it's also a bad thing. We can't match our partner later with our parents, son. Everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages. And one more thing, God has outlined the best life for all his servants, so Sela must not be afraid, yes," Zahra said.

"It's not time for Sela to think about that now, son. And there comes a time later, Sela will understand the past that has happened between Mother and Father. There is an age limit in everything we think," Zahra said, looking into her child's eyes.

"Sela is not disobedient, son."

Sela and Zahra turned their eyes to the door when they heard the answer.

Zahra and Sela's heart shook uncontrollably because of Kenzo who had certainly heard everything. Zahra was afraid that what she asked eh Sela earlier would hurt her heart. Likewise with Sela, she was afraid that she would be scolded by her father because everything that was said in her mouth indirectly doubted her father's kindness.

Kenzo put his briefcase by the door. Kenzo slowly moved closer to Zahra and Sela. He has to explain all this. As a father, he also did not want his son to get a man like him later.

Kenzo smiled and gathered near the bed to look at his son from below. Kenzo took his son's hand that shook in fear. The man's eyes looked teary.

"Sela's not an ungodly child, dear," Kenzo assured Sela.

"Sorry Dad," said Sela looking down in fear.

"So you want to know what I think after hearing everything?" ask Kenzo gently. He didn't want his son to be afraid of him.

Sela nodded in response to Kenzo's question.

Kenzo smile. His hand rubbed the soft hair of Sela's. "If you're an adult, Sela should have a better partner than Dad from everything, whatever it is" said Kenzo.

"And for sure, Dad won't be upset by what Sela's asking. Can I ask for one thing?" ask Kenzo.

Again, Sela just nodded her head in agreement with her father's question.

"I'm sorry for all the pain that's happened before, yeah. Really, I regret everything. Dad will always try to be the best father for Sela and sister later. Dad will be the front man if something bothers Sela and sister" said Kenzo with teary eyes. He was afraid, by asking like before, then the dark past that Kenzo had given impact trauma itself for his son.

"Dad, hiks," Sela cried tightly around Kenzo's neck.

"Will you forgive me?" ask Kenzo again.

"Dad is not wrong. Dad is the best Dad for Sela and sister. Forgive Sela's bad thoughts, Father," Sela said in her tears.

Zahra who saw also shed her tears. His hand rubbed his stomach in the hope that his future children could feel the atmosphere of this day. This father and son could completely overturn their emotions.

"Dad loved Sela and sister more than anything, son," Kenzo said.

Kenzo let go of her embrace and wiped away the tears that had soaked her daughter's face.

"Now Sela's job is to wipe Dad's tears away" Kenzo said, thrusting his face at Sela with a smile.

Sela's tiny hand moved to wipe away the tears that had soaked her father's cheeks. Really, the boy was relieved at this moment. Nothing bad would happen if he told his parents what he felt. Her father and mother were very familiar with how she felt.

After wiping away Kenzo's tears, Sela turned to look at Zahra. The boy's hand was also raised wiping away Zahra's tears.

"Sela dear Father and Mother. Little sister too," said Sela with a little hiccup, but decorated with a smile on her face.

"I love you more, son," replied Zahra and Kenzo together. After that, the little family embraced a taletabis style with all their love and affection.
