For Your Mother's sake, You Betrayed Me
War of Feelings

Now Zahra and Reza have arrived at the contract. Zahra opened the door and cleared Reza to go inside. Arriving inside, Reza immediately looked around the room. There was a sense of concern in his heart seeing Zahra's residence.

After putting down her bag, Zahra headed straight to the kitchen to pick up the dishes. Then, Zahra took the plate to the living room. He opened the rantang given by Miss Romlah earlier.

"All the food you send is too much, Mas. I didn't eat it up and was redundant. Every day I always throw food away, because there is no refrigerator here" Zahra said.

Reza continued to look at his sister-in-law, until Zahra realized and made him wrong. "Don't look at me like that" Zahra blushed.

"Indeed why? After all, I just look at it, do nothing," Reza said casually.

Zahra shook her head, knowing that she couldn't ban her sister-in-law's attitude. "Eat, Mommy." Zahra gave the plate containing rice and the side dish to Reza.

Reza received the plate and ate it immediately. "When did you check up on the doctor?" Reza asked.

"There's still a week left, why?" reply Zahra.

"It's okay to just ask," Reza replied casually. Actually he wanted to offer services, but Reza felt bad because of Zahra's attitude that was still indifferent to him.

Reza still eats his food. After that he took the wallet in his pocket. Reza issued a credit card and gave it to Zahra.

"Zahra, bring the card. Use it when you need it" Reza said.

Zahra stopped chewing, she put her plate on the table. "What do you mean, Mom?" Zahra asked in a flat tone.

"What do you think of me, Mom? In my status this is still the wife of the Mas people. Although, Mas Rizal has said the word divorce but he has not processed a farewell to the court. So we better keep our distance, so as not to cause even more cruel slander" said Zahra to make Reza speechless.

"Thank you for your care. Thank you for your kindness to me, too, Mom. I appreciate all that, you are in every place I need. Thank you! But back again it is not your duty to forgive me, Mas. It's still Mas Rizal's obligation. Yes, I have broken up with him. But, she would never break up with the baby I was carrying, because this is her flesh and blood" Zahra explained.

"What if Rizal doesn't do his responsibility? Are you going to keep moving in this kind of situation?" Reza continued to debate Zahra's remarks.

"You think, am I so weak? If it's for necessity, I can still look for it. I can work and rely on my brain to make money. I'm not gonna run out of sense, Mom. So do not bribe me with all the material, because we will not be able to unite even though I have officially divorced from Mas Rizal though," said Zahra, firmly. To make Reza's heart a little sick.

Reza was silent, her heart racing. "What do you mean by those words, Zahra?"

Zahra smiled in annoyance. "What I'm saying is still unclear, ma'am. Then I'll be clear again. Stop wishing for me. Forget me, take me out of your heart. Live your life with a more decent woman. You're good, I'm sure you'll get a good woman too. I want to enjoy this solitude, Mom. So stop here" Zahra said very clearly. That was until the words were pierced in Reza's heart.

Both of Reza's hands clasped tightly to endure the pain in his heart. "You never know how I tried to forget you, Zahra. You know why I'm abroad so often, it's because I'm avoiding you. I want to forget you, Zahra. But all these years I tried, still I couldn't shake this feeling. I can't just erase it, because you're my first love."

Zahra was silent, she saw Reza's eyes glazed over. Seems sincerity in there. However, Zahra did not want to dissolve in that feeling. He couldn't possibly relate to his own sister-in-law.

Reza stood up from his place, he couldn't help but be sad if he continued to be in front of Zahra. "I'll go home first. I keep leaving this card, you use it when you press or it's up to you. Assalamualaikum."

After that, Reza came out and went straight out of Zahra's contract with feelings that could not be expressed in words. Reza got into his car and left the area immediately.

In Other Places.

Rizal was still lounging in his bed. His head was still very dizzy. That made Viona upset. "Darling, you don't like this dong. Your attitude like this makes me hate that woman even more" Viona said in an emotional tone.

Since Viona returned from the hospital this afternoon, Rizal has not been out of his room. He was still too lazy to move because his body was all sick.

"Darling, you wake up!"

Rizal wriggled his body which felt stiff. Then he asked his wife to do something.

"Make me ginger honey now" said Rizal.

"You tell aunt, I'm lazy to the kitchen even more so I can't make ginger honey" Viona refused.

Rizal took a deep breath, he got up from his bed and headed to the closet. He took a hoodie and put it on. After that he took the remote of the car and got out of the room.

Seeing her husband come out without permission made Viona angry. He shouted to Rizal, but was ignored.

"Rizal where are you going? Back you Rizal," cried Viona.

Rizal came out of the house to the parking lot. He wanted to leave his house to relieve the dizziness in his head. Rizal drives his car at moderate speed to go to the cafe where he hangs out when young.

Inside the house, Viona is upset not playing. He did not expect that there would be such a thing. Viona immediately called her in-laws to complain about Rizal's actions.

"Ma, Rizal's gone from the house. The whole day she didn't go out of the room and after waking up she left without saying goodbye to me, Ma," whined Viona.

[The outrageousness of Rizal, you don't have to worry. Tomorrow Mama will be angry with him. Yes, now you just rest, later he will also go home. Just this time Rizal got drunk, so just let him. Maybe more thoughts.] said Miss Silvi from her home.

"Yes, Ma still I'm not calm. How about he go to the nightclub. I'm so worried, Ma." Viona still whines.

[No Rizal would do that. Mom is sure, yes. Later if until 12 pm he has not come home you call Mama.]

"Yes Ma" Viona replied with a pouting face.

After which, Viona hung up her phone and returned to the room with mixed feelings.
