The Broken Ring's
The Unexpected Confession

Larisa follows Zayn entering the family residence of Zamir Harkam, a figure who is now waiting for the two of them inside. His feelings were again agitated, although Zayn had previously convinced that nothing bad would happen.

"Please. You've been waiting inside" said a waiter, opening the door to a room that appeared to be Zamir's office.

The call 'father' was a call of greatness to Larisa's father-in-law. Of course, as a powerful public figure, he must display a modest impression on others.

Zayn clasped Larisa's fingers which felt cold from the tension. He stared at his wife for a moment, as if hinting with the look of the eyes if there is nothing to worry Larisa. After that, Zayn stepped in. Accompanied by Larisa from behind.

Zamir was sitting on a chair that looked like his throne. Apparently he was not alone waiting for the arrival of Larisa and Zayn, but with Zayn's two older brothers. Izak and Haydan, two people who also have important positions in the government.

"Sit down" Zamir told Larisa and Zayn. His voice was heavy and deep, this time sounding much more sinister in Larisa's ears.

Zayn sat in an empty chair. Followed by Larisa. The situation feels very stressful. For some reason, Larisa feels that she is currently a defendant in the courtroom.

"Explain to me, Zayn, what are you and Larisa doing?" Zamir asked without further ado.

"Sorry before, but I don't understand what Papa means." Zayn replied casually and without burden.

"Zay!" The voice of Zamir rises an octave.

"What's the moment Papa's curious about Zidan?" asked Zayn still in his casual style. Refuse to be intimidated.

Zamir looked growling. Surely he felt annoyed, but clenched his mouth in order to listen to the explanation of his youngest son.

"Risa and I adopted her because when we saw her at the orphanage, we both fell in love with her. He looked at us as if he wanted to say he wanted to be our son" Zayn said. Sounds just original.

"What kind of empty muzzle is that, Zayn? You've only been married for a month, but you've been in a hurry to adopt a child. Can't you have your own kids?" Zamir gave a shot, which penetrated right in the heart of Larisa.

Larisa's chest rumbled violently hearing that. His hands also felt a bit shaky. Zayn, who felt it, tightened his grip on his clothes, as if he wanted to give strength.

Zayn's eyes were sharpened and the look on his face turned grim. That made Zamir and Zayn's two brothers think that something was wrong with the newlyweds.

"What's wrong with you two? Looks like what Papa said is true?" Izak, Zayn's eldest brother, opened his mouth. "Larisa can't give you a child, Zayn?"

Zayn turned to stare intently at his brother. Izak is the proud son and favorite of Zamir. Of course, the nature of the two of them is almost no different. Since childhood, Zayn did not get along with his brother on this one. In contrast to Haydan who prefers to be indifferent and not too concerned with the affairs of others, making Zayn more comfortable.

"Pa, do I really have to tell you the truth in front of Kak Izak and Kak Haydan?" Zayn then asked.

Larisa's body instantly held onto hearing what Zayn said. Tell everything? What does it mean that Zayn will uncover the fact that Larisa has no uterus? But he said he wouldn't say that to anyone but his mom, right?

"What shameful thing do you want to tell, until your brothers can't hear?" Zamir asked again.

Zayn was stunned for a moment to see his father's gaze on him. The middle-aged man looked like he was about to skin him alive. During this time, Zayn was indeed the most disobedient child to Zamir. He was also the only one who dared to oppose Zamir's wishes in that house. Zayn had refused outright when he would be nominated as the head of the region, which clearly his victory was already confirmed ninety percent. Although angry, Zamir can not do much because Zayn is able to shine in his own way. Unlike the other two sons who still rely heavily on his big name.

"That's it. Well, then, it seems I should go first." Haydan who had been silent since then, finally made a sound as well. He got up, intending to leave.

"Who told you to go, Haydan? Sit down!" zamir Exclamation.

Haydan took a moment. He had no choice but to sit back as Zamir had said. Although often upset, but he was unable to resist the words of Zamir because he still needed the strength of his father when the upcoming election.

Zayn did not answer. He turned to Larisa for a moment, then removed his hand from her fingers. He smiled faintly with gentle eyes, as if to calm down.

"Well, if you want Papa like this." Zayn got up while taking something out from behind the suit he was wearing. An envelope that had previously been taken from a closet in her room.

While staring at Zamir, Zayn placed the envelope on his desk.

"What's this?" ask Zamir.

"Papa can read the contents" said Zayn.

Zamir grabbed the envelope with his eyes still on Zayn. He took out the contents, then read them reluctantly. However, a moment later Zamir's forehead looked shriveled.

"What does this mean?" ask Zamir while showing the contents of the paper.

"That's my reproductive health check, Pa. I wanted to show it to Papa, but Papa seemed to want Kak Izak and Kak Haydan to know too." Zayn.

Larisa herself looked a little confused, as did Izak and Haydan.

"After marriage, Risa and I want to quickly have children and intend to do a pregnancy program soon. That's why we both checked ourselves. But there's a problem." Zayn.

"You're infertile?" Zamir looks incredulous.

Zayn was seen sighing, making his current facial expression look reassuring.

"really. After checking in, the doctor said that there were some serious problems with my reproductive organs. I can't make my wife pregnant. And the doctor said, my condition can't be treated with drugs or other medical measures. Even to do a baby tube program will be very difficult," said Zayn.

Of course everyone who heard Zayn's confession was shocked. Larisa is the same. Only, Larisa chose to duck so that her facial expression was invisible to others. He really didn't expect Zayn to tell a lie this big to protect him.

"This situation is very difficult for Risa. She wants to have children, and I can't make her have children. Hence, we decided to adopt Zidan" Zayn added.

Silent. I don't hear one person talking.

"Risa could have left me right away after knowing my flaws, Pa. But he didn't do it. He accepted my situation. Why I adopted Zidan, it's because my wife really wants to have children, but I can't give her offspring. Is that a problem for Papa now? Or Papa wants Risa to leave me and find another man who can give her a child?" Zayn asked Zamir a bit hard, but sharp.

Mata Zamir bought towards Zayn. Obviously he did not accept the accusation of his youngest son, but there was nothing he could say.

"So, I beg you, Pa. Don't bother us with things like this again. The situation we were in was enough to test Risa's patience. I don't want Risa to give up being my wife" Zayn's got a weak tone. Sounds like I'm begging.

"Sister Haydan, Brother Izak." This time, Zayn turned to his two brothers as well. "When your wife met Risa several times, I overheard them often asking if Risa was pregnant. Not just once, but the question is repeated constantly. I hope it doesn't happen again, brother. Because when they keep asking Risa like that, it means they're insulting me."

This time Izak and Haydan were made to be shocked. But like Zamir, Zayn's two older brothers were also speechless.

"It seems that now everything is clear. There's nothing more to talk about. Then me and Risa excuse me first. Zidan was waiting for us at home" Zayn said later.

Zayn then grabbed Larisa's hand and took her to leave. The couple left Zamir's study, leaving an unusual silence for Zamir and his two other sons.
