Sharing Love: Red Stain of Marriage
Chapter 33. King and Queen

A mother's affection is the fuel that enables her to do impossible things.( Marion C.Garetti)

One month later

Zeya takes care of her son and daughter alone. Sometimes he has to stay up. Azril's offer to use the services of a nurse he refused. Zeya doesn't want to owe me more.

Early in the morning after the sound of azan, Zeya cleansed herself. The pain of surgery sometimes still felt. But Zeya always said he must be strong. A mother cannot be spoiled.

Although making bread was not done by Zeya for one month, but he will continue to watch over him.

Zeya walked towards the kitchen and prepared all the ingredients for the bread making. After that, he went back to the room.

The King and Queen were still asleep. By dawn they were awake.

Forgive my dear mother, you hid your existence from my father. Mother knows this all about big sins, but mother is also an ordinary human who has a sense of disappointment. After your mother's disappointment in your father is gone, mother herself will deliver you both to father.

Zeya lay down beside her son. The queen of the princess seemed to move her body. Zeya approached her daughter who woke up and immediately cried . Zeya held him before the Queen's cry interrupted the King's sleep.

But the bond of the twins is stronger. The king woke up and cried even though the Queen's voice was not so big.

Zeya laid them both down and made formula milk for them both.

After the milk runs out, Zeya bathes her children.

They're back to sleep. Zeya will watch the employees make the bread. He did not want the quality of his bread to be reduced.

"Good morning to Zeya."

"Good morning. Breakfast before work."

"Udah, mbak. That's what we've made fried rice for Zeya's mom." said Mira, she's the closest to Zeya because they were both entertainers at Angel's aunt's place.

"Thank you, Mira. You don't have to bother with that."

"I don't feel bothered. I'm glad that Zeya wants to eat my cooking."

"It'll be fine."

Zeya looked at the oven, he checked the bread being baked. Zeya has taught all employees how to make good and tasty bread.

At seven o'clock in the morning Zeya opened his bakery. Recently opened, many customers have entered.

Many customers know Zeya because he is very friendly, always greeting and smiling.

"What's the news about Zeya's mother, the twins are still bobok yes," said a mother of Zeya's mother bakery customer.

"Yes, mom. Take another bath."

"Pengin pinch the cheeks of the twins deh, chubby really," said the mother again.

Azril who had just appeared and heard the mother's words immediately replied.

"Don't play pinch, buk. Sick dong," said Azril.

"Eh there's his daddy. Becanda is a kali. Where might be true pinch."

"If the truth is pinched, I'll reply to mother's pinch twice."

"Right starling daddy the twins." The mother laughed at the look on Azril's annoyed face.

After the mother left her face Azril still looked pouted.

"Why is his face pouting so much, mas."

"The mothers made the mood so bad."

"Emang why."

"Have a chance to pinch the King and Queen's cheeks."

"Mommy, I was just kidding."

"But I've seen him pinch the Queen's cheek."

"Cubit, my dear, mas."

"Emang there's a pinch dear. The one called pinch must be sick."

"Mas ambekan, like a child."

Zeya came in to hear the sound of her baby crying. He took the Queen and asked Azril to carry her. While Zeya held the King.

The queen was closer to Azril. If in Azril's arms he will always be calm. As if feeling comfortable in Azril's embrace.

Zeya looked at the King's face carefully.

...........

In his house Zahra looked sad. He had just done a test but the result was negative.

"Why are you so sad" said Albirru.

"I really hope that if the result is positive I get pregnant. But it turned out to be negative again. It's been four months since our son died but I haven't been trusted yet."

"Don't be sad, we can still try."

"Mas, I'm afraid that I can't give you any more offspring."

"Why do you think so."

"Mas, if I couldn't get pregnant again, would you divorce me."

"Don't think too far, Zahra."

"I would marry again if I couldn't give you any more children."

"Zahra, stop. Don't think about it again, it's only been four months. There are people who have been given offspring for many years."

Albirru hugged the sobbing Zahra. He rubbed Zahra's head.

............

Zeya put the King and Queen back to bed. He sat opposite Azril who was enjoying his coffee.

"Mas, yesterday I said something to say."

"Yes, Zeya. I want to ask you something."

"Yes, please."

"Do you still want to end your marriage with Albirru."

"Of course, mas. If it goes on I'm sure it won't be the same again. Because we don't trust each other anymore. Mas Albirru there will definitely be suspicions on me. Because I've been out of the house for almost a year. And I will certainly no longer believe, afraid that he will repeat his old mistakes. So for the good, we must indeed part."

"When you plan to meet Albirru."

"Fastly mas. Maybe next month. Today the King and Queen are still very small."

"Sorry, Zeya. It's not like I want to push or force you. I just want to marry you as soon as possible so we can avoid slander."

"I understand mas. In religion, we are wrong, because we often meet without ties."

"Well if you want to see Albirru next week. I'll drive you."

"Don't mas, there will be a misunderstanding if the mas deliver."

"But the journey there takes six hours. You with two babies, that's impossible. I won't let you go."

I'm going with Mira. And I'll meet you at one of the hotels. So when I leave the King and Queen with Mira, I won't think too much. Because the King and Queen are not far from me."

"Mas will keep us. There's no way you're taking the King and Queen on a bus."

"But ...."

"There's no but. We're gonna take Mira to look after the twins."

"Mas, I've been troubling you too often."

"Mas did all that sincerely."

"The work will be interrupted later."

"That can be overcome. But you must recover your condition first. Don't be in such a hurry. They just want to make sure of your decision. If later you change your mind and want to go back with Albirru, quickly you tell me. So that I don't expect you."

"Mas, I'll stick with my decision."

"Thank you, Zeya."

"For what?"

"Because it has been present in my life and gives a lot of color. I don't know what I'd do if you changed your mind and left me."

"Mas, I should be thanking you for helping me a lot. And give love to my King and Queen."
