Still By Your Side's
09. Family Drama

After finishing the fitting, Zee and Zico arrive in front of a magnificent mansion Zico's parents' residence. Upon getting out of the car, Zee continued to sigh in anger. Occasionally bite his lower lip while tightening the grip on the end of the dress that is being worn.

"Zico, I don't dare! Next time, huh?" Zee put on a weld look. I hope his request is approved by Zico.

A subtle touch jolted the tip of Zee's fingers. Ended a warm grasp as soft as a silk cloth to calm his feelings.

"There's me. You are quiet enough beside me. Okay?" A warm swab Zico gave Zee's head.

With a heavy heart, Zee nodded. When they entered, Zee felt his heart pumping faster. Not daring, Zee chose to bow. Both of his hands tightly hugged Zico's arms looking for a calmness.

"But you remember coming home?" Sahutan loud deafening chest, jerking the attention of Zee and also Zico.

Brave Zee looked up. His face was deathly pale as a lackluster look emanated fully on the face of Alaska, Zico's biological father who was currently sitting quietly on a single sofa in the family room. Not alone, a middle-aged woman who is still so beautiful and youthful also accompanied on the long sofa beside her. His expression is hard to guess. But in Zee's eyes, both Zico's parents are in a state of bad mood at this time. Recalling Zico's spontaneity on the phone explaining the brief where Zee was carrying her baby, Zee became increasingly nervous and wanted to return to boarding soon.

"Ke come!" Alaska again replied, still with the same expression.

Without wanting to make the father wait or repeat his words, Zico continued to lead Zee.

"Sit down." The soft but flat speech came from the mother. Call it Sharon.

Again Zico complied and led Zee to sit on another long sofa.

"Bah-h"

"Silent. Papa's an emotion. Don't let your words even increase Papa's emotional level!" The look of Alaska was so shiny. Zee is increasingly convinced that Zico's parents will not approve of their relationship.

"But, Pah-"

"Papa Mama feels like a failure to be a parent. We thought you were an adult, Zico. You are the firstborn! My greatest hope is with my mom! Butwhat? You're pregnant with people's children." A rough snort was exhaled. "We don't want to know, you have to marry a girl - what's your name?" Alaskan attention turned to Zee. The look in his eyes changed normally which unfortunately made Zee even more frightened.

"A-anu-"

Alaska's forehead cringing. "Anu?"

"Bu-not! My name is Zee. Zee, Um!"

"Zee's? Zee Zico's girlfriend in High School? That zee?" Sharon's actions resulted in her entire focus turning to the beautiful woman. Nervously, Zee nodded.

"Sorry, Auntie! I'm-"

"Truly you, Zico!" The atmosphere was getting tense. Zico's mom's gaze was so scary. His chest even seemed to rise and fall irregularly.

"Just don't want to know, you have to take responsibility! Today too, we have a wedding."

"What-what?!" Zee reflexes clenched his mouth.

Oh my, so fast?

"Well, Pah, please beat Zico! Zico just finished listing the wedding with Zee. We also have clothes fittings. We're planning on getting married next week." Zico interjected after a moment of silence digesting all the words of his parents.

"Good you, yeah! I do all things alone. I don't need your mom's help anymore, do I?"

Zico sighed. "Not that, Mama."

"Yes, did the invitation make it? Rent buildings? Held in the hall of Mama's newly opened hotel, don't want to know!" Breakup Sharon. A little makes Zee wonder about the attitude that deviated from his expectations.

"Decoration is the same catering so that Papa thinks. Yes, up here. After this we eat together. Zino wants to go home today. Zio will also be self-deprecating. And, Alasha's on her way home again." Added Alaska. His attention then turned to Zee who looked down agitated.

"Zeez. You're not pa-pa, son?" Clamoring, Zee looked confused.

"Sa-me-"

"Zico, how old is Zee's new age?" The law is from Sharon. Zee's attention was again stirred.

"It's only been three weeks, Mah."

"Must have a lot of rest dong? Zee, come with Mama! We're resting in the room, yeah."

"Huh!? Ma-mama?" Zee was getting more and more clueless about the situation. That easy as the dark aura changed brightly?

"Bi!" Sharon paid no heed to Zee's confusion. The woman was busy talking to one of her domestic assistants.

"Yes, Madam!"

"What is the availability of food in the refrigerator? Still safe?"

ART is nodding. "Safe, Mistress. Still full."

"Yes, today please buy milk for my daughter-in-law. I'll send you a picture."

"Okay, Madam."

Shortly after, Sharon's attention returned to Zee. "Zee, go! Come upstairs, yuk!"

"But, Auntie?"

"Mama! Don't call Auntie, dong! Aren't you guys registered for a wedding? Then now you're Zico's wife. Come on, let's go upstairs!"

Zee silently looked worriedly at Zico. Unfortunately, Zico's relaxed response to Zee following her mother's will, made the woman only able to resign in the end.

How did it get like this?

...****...

"Zee, have you eaten?" Arriving in a room that seemed to be Zico's room, Zee was immediately presented with a pleasantry question by her mother-in-law.

"U-I'm up, Aunt."

"Mama!" Press Sharon. Sontak Zee tightly closed his eyeballs.

"Y-yes, Mama means. Sorry, Mah! I'm-"

"Zico forced you, huh?" Sharon's gaze changed softly. Some time Zee was stunned by that look. Even his eyeballs looked teary.

"On behalf of Zico, Mama's sorry, yeah! Though you used to be familiar, but why did you guys break up? Mama was sad to know you guys broke up. Zico who always thumped a smile also changed like before even worse. Zico is always so clingy. Zico loves you very much. Maybe the cause of today's occurrence is because Zico can't forget you. Once again, Mama apologized for being negligent! Mama promised, Mama will make Zico unite you. You want to apologize, Mama's with Zico?"

Zee's heart was full. His eyeballs go glazed over until they drip down a circle in the direction of tears. This made Sharon panic.

"Zee's? Wh why? Don't-don't Zico be rude, huh, same you? Cannot be allowed. The kid should"

"No, Mah! Zee just feels guilty. Mama doesn't deserve to apologize to Zee. Zee should be sorry. Zee has-"

"Zee." A subtle call accompanied by a gentle touch in both hands jolted Zee. Slowly the look in his eyes fell. Staring closely at the two hands of the mother-in-law who was so tightly grasping both hands.

"You're not wrong. Mama knows that. You can't blame yourself, while you're a victim." Sharon let out a long breath, then cleared her throat.

"You haven't seen Alasha again, have you? When you were dating, Alasha was jealous, didn't she know Zico, her favorite sister had a boyfriend? Well, now he's big. Do you want to see his picture?" Sharon suddenly switched the conversation. The middle-aged woman reached into her cell phone. Tinkering for a while then showing a portrait of his youngest daughter.

"Here we go. How's it? It's big, isn't it?"

Zee's eyeballs sparkle. "This is Alasha, Mah?" Sharon nodded enthusiastically. "Previously pretty, cute. Now beautiful and mature."

Sharon chuckles amusedly. "What's an adult? Still spoiled by her father! Understand, beloved child. Zico's father wanted to have a girl. But it turns out, his first boy saaampai to the third child. And the fourth, the last, the new girl. Alasha's. The first letter of his name is no longer the letter Z. Oh, ja. Alasha's name is taken from the combination of Mama's name with her Papa, you know! Alaska and Sharon. Duhh, if you want the past, like to gurgle alone."

Zee also chuckled amusedly. As it turns out, Aunt Sharon is still the same as before. Still accepting Zee openly.

"Em, Alasha is currently in college, huh, Mah?" Sharon nodded again. "In medicine. He said to be different from the others. Zico's going into the military? But not long ago he replaced the planning director at Intern Company who retired. Zino lectures S2 while business. Do not know what business, Zino also played the secrets of the mouth with Mama. And Zio, finished college he asked permission from his father to open a cafe business with the same restaurant. Ask him to make investments into his business account. And until now, the business has started to be good. His behavior is also getting smaller. Many girls. Not so different from his father."

Recalling one thing that was forgotten, Sharon muttered. "If you're talking about Zee? Where do you work now?"

Zee's smile slowly faded. There's a bit of inferiority when it comes to mentioning that. "Hm, I taught in Junior High, Aunt-Eh, Mama!"

"You're a teacher?" Zee nodded. It was clear that his work could not be compared to Sharon's four children. Zee becomes increasingly convinced that he and Zico are very unsuitable.

"Udah Mama guessed it anyway. You were pinter. The general champion. Zico has lost often in second place. It's not wrong Zico chose a wife."

"Eh?"

...****...

"Papa prefers this style. Classic." Alaska smiled with satisfaction at a wedding decoration picture that her personal assistant showed her for later Zico and Zee's wedding.

There was a long hiss from Zico accompanied by his eyebrows that furrowed deeply. "Zico prefers glamorous, luxurious and classy."

Alaska chuckles. "Mending you ask your wife, how does she like it? Don't let the wedding party incriminate Zee."

Zico frowning. "meaning?"

"I mean-"

"SISTER ZICOOO!!!" A screeching call came from the direction of the entrance, jolting the attention of the pair of father and son.

Just when the two turned their heads, the figure of a beautiful girl in fashionable clothes seemed to run with all her might. His expression is hard to guess. Spontaneous Zico glared even gulped as a thin grin filled the girl's pretty face.

"Campus."

"Sir Zico!"
