Not the Perfect Wife
118. S2 - Princess Zahran
Yasna was preparing dinner together with Rani and Afrin. The woman is happy to see her daughter is very active in the kitchen these days. He was happy because without being asked Afrin would help.
"Mother, ask brother later, huh?"
"Ask what?" yasna asked who was confused by Afrin's words.
"Ask her ex-boyfriend, who's on video."
"You still want to know someone else's problem. It's none of your business, don't interfere. Papa will be angry."
"I'm, right, just wondering, Mother. I'm curious, come on, Mommy!"
"Just ask yourself, but later in your room. Don't get scolded by papa here."
"Yes, deh" said Afrin with a frown. In his heart he confirmed what Yasna had said. Emran would be angry if he knew they were gossiping about other people. Moreover, that person had once existed in the course of Aydin's life.
"See, Mommy wants to call Papa with Big Brother."
"No need, dear. We are here" said Emran, who had just entered the dining room, followed by Aydin. Yasna just smiled in response.
"Yes, come on, let's eat!"
"This is what Mother cooked, what is that little girl?" ask Aydin and mock his sister.
"This is a collaborative cuisine between Mother and I. We cooked it together" Afrin replied bragging.
"Wear any collaboration, must it feel weird? Not as usual, you cook."
"Cobain first, new comment. It must be delicious" said Afrin. "Where's Brother's plate? Let me take it."
"May, this" Aydin said, handing over the plate to Afrin.
Afrin grabs the plate vigorously then, filling it with rice and side dishes that she cooks.
"Please enjoy!" exclaim Afrin while handing back Aydin's plate.
"Mother, Nayla's house is in which area, anyway? How did I meet him on the way home?" aydin asked him, and he chewed his food.
"Mother doesn't know where her house is. Mommy has never been there, Mommy is just a boutique. What area did you meet?"
"Not far from the office. His car broke down so, I helped him."
"What are you talking to, sister Nayla? Have you asked for her phone number yet?" ask Afrin kepo.
"What do you think? Brother just help doang," said Aydin.
"Ih, I'm not good at PDKT. You shouldn't have to have the car. Brother just pretended not to be able to actually, continue to take her home. Take Nayla to talk about anything that makes her comfortable."
"Well, you're good at getting attention. Don't you like that too?"
Everyone stared at Afrin, waiting for an answer from the girl. They wondered how Afrin could have such thoughts.
"Nothing, I've just heard a lot of people talk like that. I told you, I don't want to date."
"You don't follow them, yeah! Just be careful if you're like them!" sela Yasna's.
"No, Mother. How am I the one who was attacked? I want it to be the same brother. Yes, I don't want any more nanya" Afrin said, continuing to eat.
"Because I don't want love first. It just makes me hurt. If it's time it will definitely meet your own soul mate," said Aydin.
His relationship with Airin is short, but Aydin is not a person who likes to play with a relationship. It was certain that her separation from her former lover left a wound in her heart.
"Why not go after Nayla, sister?" ask Afrin.
"Self-aware too, yes, Brother. I don't think I'm shameless" taunted Afrin.
"You like to see people. Brother also knows which is good and which is not."
"Already, already, you guys are always fighting. Come on, eat the food!" exclaim Yasna.
"Leave it, honey. Ignore them, we continue to eat" said Emran.
Afrin and Aydin were throwing cynical glances at each other. After dinner, Emran immediately entered his room. Yasna also followed her husband into the room. The woman felt that there was something her husband wanted to talk about.
"What's up, Mom? There's gotta be something, right?" ask Yasna as soon as they get to the room.
Usually Emran always goes into the workspace after dinner. Either do the work or just check email, but now to the room would want to talk about something important.
"Look, Honey. Do you remember who Zahran was?"
"Why all of a sudden, Mas, ask about him? What's wrong?" yasna asked in surprise, suddenly Emran discussed people from his past.
"Last afternoon, he came to the office. He asked me to match Aydin to his daughter."
"Then, what did you answer?" ask Yasna. She wanted to know what her husband told her ex-husband.
"I told you, I don't want to force Aydin, but he insisted. He said, let's just say it was an exchange, he gave you up for me and now he wants me to give Aydin up for his daughter."
"What kind of thought is that? I would not be willing if Aydin was betrothed to his daughter Zahran. I don't know how her family is, but I don't want to be involved with them anymore. It's enough of that past. I don't want my son's future to revolve around their family."
"Therefore, I ask you the same question. Should we ask Aydin too? It also has to do with his future."
"No need to talk to Aydin. I'm not gonna approve. I'm also sure that Aydin won't, with Nayla refusing to let alone with Zahran's daughter."
Emran confirmed Yasna's words. Honestly, he also did not like their family. His wife has bad memories in the family. The man did not want his son to experience the same.
"All right then, I'll call him."
"Mas, have the number?"
"Yes, he gave."
Yasna nodded. While Emran opened his phone and looked for Zahran's number that he had saved this afternoon. The man immediately made a call.
"Hello, assalamualaikum" said someone across the phone.
"Waalaikumsalam, Zahran about our conversation this afternoon. Sorry, I refused it. I don't want to force my Son into his soul mate. I gave her the freedom to choose. Again I'm sorry."
"Didn't I say, 'cause this is our first-ever exchange."
Yasna immediately snatched Emran's phone. He was furious at Zahran's words.
"Sorry, yes, brother Zahran. I am not an item that can be exchanged for anything. Regarding me, it is not your right to submit to whom. That's because we've been dating not because of you or anyone else. Don't force my son along with your daughter. I think your daughter is a beautiful girl so, it must be very easy to find her own soul mate. Without having to be betrothed to my Son" Yasna said with emotion.
Yasna immediately turned off her phone without hearing the answer from across. It was up to him to think what, for sure he would not give up his son.
