14. Move over

...Happy Reading's...

...****************...

When the dawn had fallen on the eastern horizon, Abizar was still snoring. Last night the man was sleep-deprived, because his sleep did not wear a mattress.

"Bi ... Abi ... wake up! It's noon." Kezia shakes Abizar's shoulder.

Abizar wriggled, his eyes narrowed to adjust the light that had already burst into Kezia's room. "I just slept, Mom. Still sleepy," Abizar said in a hoarse voice.

"This is not your home. Aren't you ashamed to wake up at home in-laws, huh? Just the first day of marriage, just get up in the afternoon."

With a rough sigh, Abizar had to move. Kezia's words have a point.

"Bath bath! That's Abis we're having breakfast downstairs."

"Hmmm ...." Abizar just muttered, then stepped his foot lazily. However, the goal was not the bathroom, but rather the Kezia bed that seemed comfortable to connect his sleep.

"Why are you sleeping again?" Kezia pulled the body of Abizar who was already lying on his bed.

"Just a minute, ma'am. I couldn't sleep because it was so cold last night sleeping on the floor. Where the base is just wearing a blanket." Abizar wrapped his body in Kezia's blanket. Feels comfortable and warm.

"No way, can't. You need to wake up right now!" Kezia drew Abizar's hand, but Abizar revolted. His strength was too strong when he pulled back Kezia's hand, so that made Kezia's body stagger and overlap Abizar's body.

Although sleepy, Abizar was certainly surprised. Both of his eyes opened wide as if he was about to come out. How not? Now their bodies are stuck without distance. Only Kezia's head looked up slightly, with such a fixed gaze.

For a moment of exchange of breath, Kezia came to her senses and got up immediately. Abizar was wrong. His sleepiness suddenly disappeared.

"Bath bath! Papa is waiting for you at the dinner table. He said someone wants you to talk to." Kezia shifted her awkwardness. He stood up and fixed his clothes that were a little messy because of the incident.

"Yes." Yeah." Only that word came out of Abizar's mouth. Kezia left the room first.

...****************...

After completing his short bathing ritual, Abizar immediately met the Kezia family who were waiting in the dining room of the house. Surya, Erna, Aruna, and Putri— adopted sister Aruna, who had started eating their breakfast.

"Again" said Abizar to all those who stared at his arrival. Everyone also returned his greeting.

Abizar came with his face looking haggard and uninspired. The black pouch that was swirling on his eyelids was so clearly visible. It made Aruna think no.

"Sister, what were you guys doing last night?" aruna asked whispering in Kezia's ear sitting next to her.

"Sleep, Iah," Kezia replied lightly, but in a slow tone as well, "don't think of anything, yeah!" mengumbu.

Aruna chuckled softly. "Once again, right? You see that Abi's face is really tangled like a lack of sleep. Kasian I saw it."

Kezia looked at Abizar's face carefully. True said Aruna, the man looked very sleepy. However, a moment later Kezia raised his shoulders. He doesn't care about that.

"Egem ... Abi, I want to talk to you about something."

Suddenly Surya's resolute voice shifted everyone's attention. Even the sleepy Abizar was a little fresher. "I—iya, Om. What do you want to talk about?" tanyanya nervous.

"Loh, the call time is still 'Om', anyway. 'Papa', dong, Abi! You are now officially Kezia's husband. Meaning now that you are already our child too" Erna protested with a sweet smile accompanying her words.

"Ohuk!" Kezia immediately choked on hearing that. He then handed her a glass filled with clear liquid for her to drink. I don't know why it sounds funny in his ears. There was really nothing in her shadow, the stranger she had just met was now her husband. Kezia was dreaming.

"Why, Brother? Kept, yeah, hear it?" ledek Aruna quietly while smiling grinning.

"Good, Ma. Sorry, Abi is not used to it yet" Abizar said. Erna just smiled in response.

"Abi, even if your marriage is forced, I hope you can honor what is called marriage. Whatever the reason, your marriage is legal in the eyes of law and religion. The wedding vows you say are not only witnessed by all invited guests, but also by God. So, never have a plan to end your marriage after the child is born for no apparent reason."

Surya said so, as if knowing the bad plan of the newlyweds. Kezia and Abizar threw eyes at each other.

"One more, Abi. Kezia is a little stubborn, but although you are younger than Kezia, you are a priest to him. So, you have the right to guide him if he does something wrong. Only one papa pinta, do not use violence only. If you can't educate her, just give her back to us. Our hands are always open for Kezia" Surya added.

"Yes, Pa," said Abizar, while Kezia was moved to hear that. As much as possible he held the urgent clear liquid in his eye fertilizer. That much is their love.

"Oh, yes, Pa. Abi gets the message from mom. Because Abi's job in Japan is not done yet, so two more days Abi has to go there."

"What about Kezia?" surya hatch.

"Mama said, because Zee's sister is pregnant, she can't come with me to Japan. So mom wanted him to stay in our house. She said that she could monitor the development of her unborn granddaughter."

"If you want to go to Japan, go! Let me stay here. I can give you a pregnancy checkup every month with your mom." Kezia chimed in on the word Abizar.

"Cannot. You have to live with your mom."

"Why? What if I refuse? I think it's the same as living here, too. Your parents just want to know about their grandchildren, right?"

Abizar snorted at Kezia's refusal. There he realized that Kezia was really stubborn. Actually Abizar was also reluctant to force, but it was all the request of the mother. Abizar could not bear if his mother was sad because her desire was not fulfilled. Especially after he managed to make the woman who had given birth to him fainted because of his attitude yesterday. Made Abizar not dare to refute his orders anymore.

"Bak didn't hear papa's talk just now, huh? It is not good to oppose the husband" Abizar said.

A fierce look was cast by Kezia. He did not know what was behind Abizar's attitude that forced him to stay in their home.

"Kezia, Abi's right. You can't behave like that with your husband. After all, he has the right to invite you to stay at his house, and you are Abi ...." Surya turned to Abizar, "stop calling Kezia with the call 'Mbak'! Not good to hear. You're marrying your sister, just like," Surya protested.

Abizar. In his heart he said, "Emang has gone, really. He's, right, older than me."

"Sorry, Pa. Next time no more" Abizar said, pretending to be sorry.

"Zee, according to mama, there is also no harm if you live in your in-laws' house. Maybe they want to replace Abi to look after you, while he's gone." It was Erna's turn to comment.

"But, Ma—"

"There's no but-but! From now on your responsibility is not with us anymore, Kezia." Surya cut Kezia's word.

"Don't you love me?" Kezia looked at his father.

"It's not. This house will always be open to you. You can stay here anytime, if your husband allows it. You are an adult. Learn to be a good wife to your husband!"

Kezia looked at his papa. It was sad for him to have to stay apart with them.

"Udahlah, brother, just accept it! But Abi will not live there either. He, right, went to Japan. Brother will be free without serving your flocking husband at Aunt Angelina's house. Just focus on your son." A whisper of provocation was heard from Aruna's lips.

Kezia turned his head. The frown on his forehead was engraved as he momentarily thought. A few seconds later, his lips opened a smile. He confirmed what his sister said. That way, the charade of her marriage will run smoothly, if she does not meet Abizar often.
