The actor? Who's Afraid!
Pursuing Love

"Well, Rayya can't know? Why did Mama choose Rayya as Mama's daughter-in-law, to accompany Mas Zain? Mas Zain was the perfect man, why didn't Mama choose a woman who was equal to Zain?"

After I served tea and snacks at the front desk of my mom and dad, I ventured to ask what was going on in my heart.

"Why baby?" Mama pulled my hand gently, which was still crouching on the side of the table to sit next to her.

"Did Zain treat you badly?" his question then stroked the top of my head, papa just watched us with a sad look in his eyes. It makes my feelings worse.

"Mas Zain is good Mah, very good. Rayya just wants to know why she chose Rayya, not the others."

Mama lowered her gaze, in her hands both of mine. After breathing out slowly she turned her head towards her husband sitting down and started telling stories as her husband nodded his head.

"I'm sorry, baby! Can Mama ask you to stay by Zain's side no matter what?" Highlight your eyes so hard, clear flakes begin to swarm around her brown cornea. The same eyes, as Zain had.

I nodded in agreement with my mother's request, there was a little regret for asking this question. I don't know what makes them so emotional.

"A few years ago, Zain tried to end his life because of a woman."

"Woman who left Zain, by marrying another man?" I interrupted my mom's story.

"Did Zain tell you?" The look on my mother's face showed a hope from my words.

"That's all Zain told me." Hugged my body, after saying a word of gratitude. Bright sparkles filled his face.

"You know, you are the best mate God sent for Zain" said the enthusiastic mother. I just don't understand it any more, after seeing their sad faces turn into happy hues.

"Mama just showed me a picture of you, Zain's own decision to marry who wants it. After so many women you tried to get close to Zain, but he refused. Mama has no face to ask her friends to go back to match their daughter with Zain. Mama only feels happy when your son decides to get married, and is confused because Zain wants a marriage in just a week." She took a deep breath before continuing her words.

"That's when, mama remembered the meeting that had a niece who had grown up. Mama is also hesitant because of your age difference is quite far, but you accept Zain's proposal, and do not mind getting married immediately, even without the process of knowing each other first." Happy memories.

Which parents do not want the best for their sons and daughters, and neither do Zain's parents. They must have big dreams for Zain's happiness. Even though they know the flaws in their son.

I'm sure they know our household isn't okay. It seems I have to recite the promise I made with a nod of my head, so that I can stay by his son's side, no matter what.

"Is there anything else you want to tell Rayya?"

"What do you mean, son?" Mama widened her eyes.

"It looks like Mama and Papa already know how the fate of our marriage. Rayya cannot force mas Zain to accept Rayya, if his heart is still another woman, while Rayya also cannot survive without hope. Sorry, Mah. Rayya can't be on Zain's side like Mama asked. Parting was the best decision for us" I told the parents, who now had their own faces.

Mama Renata's cries flowed from the eye's crackers, not that I had no heart, but I only had one heart that I had to protect from anything that would destroy her.

"Zain regretted his actions, he intended to cancel the marriage with you, the mother who forbade Zain to do so. All our relatives know you will get married the next day, it is impossible to cancel the marriage abruptly. Help u! Don't leave Zain. Mama sees Zain getting attracted to you, Zain even wants to hold your hand and laugh at you, which you haven't seen in five years."

"Well, that's it." Papa approached us who were hugging each other, gently rubbing my mama's back.

"Think also Rayya's feelings, position if we are her parents. We will definitely make the same decision as Rayya, if the marriage doesn't make her happy" said papa after sitting mama back on the couch.

"Papa see, right?! Zain could be close to Rayya, didn't you also know they were that close to whispering to each other?" Papa nodded his head as mama looked at him expectantly. Now my mom's bead eyes are on me. "Rayya, hold on a little while longer, I'm sure Zain will open his heart to you" she said, wiping away the tears that had soaked my cheeks and ignoring her own tears.

"Three months. Hold on for three more months for Zain, if in that time my son still cannot accept you, my own mother will take care of your separation. Help u! Mama saw there's hope in your eyes, you can make Zainku go back to living a normal life."

I could not resist my mother's request this time, because deep down, I also wanted Zain to return my feelings. Am I capable of entering the recesses of Zain's heart? Fighting alone becomes the antidote to Zain's heart that has been destroyed, because of the woman tattooed with the initials Z.

Mama was so grateful for my decision, repeatedly she said the word terimaksih that made me feel bad. Coupled with the kisses on my right and left cheeks that more than once he did, made me feel supported by my own parents.

"Who's Mah's name?" ask me after we calm down by sipping tea that becomes cold.

"Name Ta ... Zain is back" said the mother, who heard Zain's steps, down the stairs.

Zain descended the stairs in a hurry while showing his thumb and a blink of one eye.

"Papa see, right? Zain could even play his eyes flirtatiously," said the mother half-whispering to her husband.

"Mama will sleep in the lower room only, let the upper floor be your privacy," added mama before Zain arrived and finally sat next to me.

Mama and papa who witnessed the moment could not hide their smiles, what if they knew if our closeness was more than this, until I dared to grab their son's hair.

"Smiling by yourself? Don't think weird even if we sleep one bed?!" zain's words left me stunned as I thought of the previous incident.

"What did you think?" godaku to Zain who lay his body on the right side of the bed.

I got up from my seat and approached the side of Zain who had covered his eyes with his muscular arms.

"Well?!" hardiknya when he realized my arrival, he used the index finger attached to my forehead to stop my actions.

"Enjoying my husband's handsome face" my god.

"Retreat!"

"I'll back off, if you agree we're apart."

I just smiled to see her panic. Blood ties are unique, Zain kept me from fulfilling his mother's expectations. The mother begged me for her son's life.

While me? Why am I staying here? Pursuing.
