The Shackles of Love
Chapter 8 | Alzam's Rejection

"As you wish." Arya thrusts a map into Naura.

After successfully convincing the papa, Arya immediately took Naura to a nearby cafe.

"Didn't you agree to help me and want a written agreement? Now you just have to sign our agreement. If you object you can reduce or if you feel there is less please just add it, as long as you are willing to play," explained Arya.

Naura swallowed her saliva rough. He doesn't know if his decision was wrong or not. Her instincts as a mother, she felt a lot of pity for Arya, but as a woman who was dumped, of course her heart still felt throbbing.

"Isn't that just convincing, and there's no marriage?" naura protests while reading a letter to be signed.

"I changed my mind, Na. I have been locked in regrets all this time. Honestly, I'm so sorry I let you go. Na, can you help me give birth to a child. I promise I won't waste you again."

Naura who was still reading point by point immediately looked up. He was shocked by Naura's confession. His eyes looked at Arya's face which looked full of seriousness as she looked at him.

"I can help to convince Om Arya's parents, but I'm sorry I can't marry you. My world is still long, I still want to be free" Naura refused.

Although he once dreamed of having a full family, but not by marrying Arya.

"Na, how should you forgive me? I am not an easy person to fall in love with or forget a feeling. For 7 years I have been reduced in regret. Let me at this time redeem everything, Na."

For the time being Naura did not waver in her stance. He still insists on not agreeing if there will be a marriage between the two.

"It looks like I can't sign this deal. Sorry, I have to go." Naura leaves Arya in silence. The man had no intention of pursuing Naura. He realized what he had done did not deserve an apology.

All the way home, Naura's mind was at war with her heart. When the pain is still throbbing in the heart, his mind instead feels pity for the current state of Arya.

"Na, you must remember, Arya is a bajiyingan man. Because he's your future ruined. You have to shut yourself up to be able to live quietly. Do you want to get carried away with his words? No, Na! You can't just give up! Remember how he dumped you!"

This afternoon Naura deliberately wanted to meet Raya. Just separated one day already made him miss his longs. What if in a few months? Maybe Naura will never be able to eat and sleep well.

Just wanted to enter, again Naura's body was hit by a girl. Not Khanza or Raya, but Alma.

"Auntie, help me, they're evil!" Appoint Alma towards Kala and also Raya who are chasing him. Seconds later Alma hid behind Naura.

"Why run?" naura asked Raya and Kala.

"We are playing" replied Kala with a stingy breath.

"But I don't want to play with you guys" Alma said from behind Naura.

Hearing a slight commotion, Zahra who was watching television immediately got up to check on her children.

"What's this?" ask Zahra astonished.

"Mama Ara …. " Alma now ran towards Zahra. "Kak Kala and Raya are evil. They forced me to marry Kak Kala" she told Zahra.

"We're just playing, Ma!" rebut Kala.

"Yes, Ma. We were just playing brides, but Raya ran away" Raya said.

"I don't want to marry Kak Kala!" exciting Alma.

Naura and Zahra could only shake their heads softly upon hearing the confessions of their children. I don't know where they got that ridiculous idea. Slowly Zahra gave an understanding if they could not play like that again.

Actually the arrival of Naura also wanted to pour out her heart. However, he undoes his intention when Alzam also comes to pick Alma home. Unfortunately, the boy did not want to.

"Mas Alzam, can we talk for a second?" ask Zahra.

Alzam nodded slowly and followed Zahra to the backyard where Naura was.

"There's actually something I want to talk about. Since the two of you have been here, I better tell you right now," said Zahra who had been staring at Alzam and Naura in turn.

"What's up, Ma'am? Is there a problem with the kids?" ask Naura marketing.

"Yes, ada. Mr. Alzam, sit down!" zahra Pinta.

When Alzam had sat down, Zahra immediately expressed the desire of his heart. It was hard, but all for the good of their children.

Both of them have now become single parents. Alma who no longer has a mother and father who does not have a father. It would be nice if the two of them united in order to complete their flaws. Alma can feel the affection of a mother and Raya can get the affection of a father by the way they get married.

"So there is no harm, no, if you unite in order to complement each other. Your children are in dire need of the role of a father and mother. And it just so happens that the status of the two of you can complement so there's no harm if you try to unite, right?"

Naura was astonished at Zahra's confession, as was Alzam. They both sat together.

"Sorry, Ra. It seems I can't, because I can afford to be a mother and father to Alma" Alzam said.

"But Alma needs the role of a mother, Mas!"

"Please throw away your thoughts to match us both, because until now I will never marry again" said Alzam.

"But Mas—"

"Ra, please understand!"
