Ustad Or Alkash?
Engagement Then Marriage

"Mom, you shouldn't have to be nice to her."

Rossie was standing right at the door with a waistline. Showing a scowling face due to her dislike. Attempting to protest Helen, having been kind to her guests. He really doesn't like that. For him, being nice to his guests this time, was a big mistake.

"Rossie, don't be like that, son."

Helen spoke without looking at Rossie. He responded to Rossie's words while pouring water into a glass. Water will be provided to all three guests. Rossie grunted annoyedly.

"Mother, Bang Ziban has not been with us for many years, ma'am. And, she's never seen us before, because she doesn't want to,"

"Mom should eliminate them both from your life, ma'am. Forget the mother's two sons."

Helen walked towards Rossie while carrying a tray.

"They both just did what your father told you to do. I know, it's. I understand it very well,"

"And the relationship between mother and child, will not be decided for any reason."

Rossie still looks upset. He snorted back. Helen has a lot of patience in everything. Rossie knew that. But of course, Rossie did not want her mother back hurt. He was worried about his mother's feelings. I don't want anyone to hurt him. Especially his father and his two brothers.

"But ma'am.." (say Rossie)

Helen stroked her daughter's shoulders.

"You're going to learn from your mother, right?"

Rossie put her face down. Avoiding Helen's eyes.

"We'll talk about this later, baby. Now, take this drink forward." (ask Helen)

Rossie refused several times at Helen's request. But because Helen did insist on wanting Rossie to come forward, Rossie finally agreed in the name of coercion.

They both walk. Rossie's the one with the tray. It was Helen who presented the drink to Ziban, and two people they did not know before.

Rossie was leaving them. But Helen asked to stay. It was Ziban who whispered something in Talita's ear.

"Yes right. She's Rossie, your little sister."

Talita replied with a whisper.

"Rossie, sit down." (said Ziban)

"No, no. I'm used to sitting." (Rossie refused)

Ziban Alkash smiled. A smile she has rarely shown in the past two years. He stood up from his seat, approached Rossie, and embraced her.

Rossie still shows her dislike. But Ziban looked hopeless.

"I know, my sister is very angry with me. You deserve all of that,"

"But just so you know, I've never forgotten you and mom for a second. You two have always been here. Stick inside and be safe there."

Ziban pointed at his chest. He meant to show how much Rossie and Helen meant in his life. Helen smiled when her son said that. Happiness was in front of his eyes.

Helen stood up too. Approaching his daughter's son. Smilingly. Then grab them both. Helen had tears.

"Mother, don't cry."

Rossie wiped Helen's tears. And followed by a sharp look from him which he addressed to Ziban.

"Go! Your arrival made my mother cry!"

Helen suppressed Rossie's emotions by shaking her head slowly. Tell him that what Rossie said was wrong.

"No son, these are happy tears."

While Talita looks that rotate her eyeballs see the incident in front of her. He thought everything that was happening was drama. Uninspiring. One fitting word to represent his facial features.

Helen clasps Ziban and Rossie's hands. They sit next to each other. Helen is between Ziban and Rossie.

"Alright, aunt. As I told you from the beginning. I am the lover of this aunt's son. We decided to get engaged soon. And after getting engaged, one week or no later than two weeks, we're getting married,"

"Auntie agrees, right?"

But he soon forgot his surprise, after he remembered Talita's words long ago.

One would definitely be very grateful to the person who has helped him remember those times that are almost completely forgotten. And he will remember his service. He will obey all his wishes, if he can do that.

Talita's words are still attached clearly to his mind. Not a shiver, especially until he forgets.

Finally, Ziban was silent. He did not say a word, after Talita decided to get engaged and get married.

Helen still showed a mediocre face. Not with Rossie. He pulled the corner of his lips up. Responding to Talita's words with dislike. He noticed Talita's appearance. A woman wearing very open clothes. With thick makeup on her face.

After paying attention to Talita, Rossie notices Ziban, her brother. He shook his head.

I just found out, if one of my sisters has taste like her. Ah yes, if you talk about taste, Bang Zidan has much more high taste. And, he would definitely be a very lucky man. If he does not have a past that is difficult to accept and forgive.

"Mommy, I just stay here, mom? Can you?" (say Ziban)

"Then what about your father?" (asked Helen)

"I think she's a pretty mature aunt. He has the right to decide to stay with anyone. Including living with his own mother. You think I said that, don't you, auntie?"

Talita answered Helen's question. Rossie breathed a rough breath. He really could not hide his frustration with anyone.

"Alright, stay here as you wish." (said Helen)

Rossie did not appear to be concerned about Helen's decision. He is very understanding. Such an event, which Helen longed for. Where, his son returned to live with him. Pouring each other's affection. Same with Rossie. He could not escape, that his longing was almost in line with what Helen felt.

"Fuck off. I'll stay here too until our engagement." (said Talita)

Rossie rolled her eyes wide. Same with Helen. Only Ziban looks ordinary.

"He's lost his mind, ma'am." (whispered Rossie in Helen's ear)

"Emm, son. According to your aunt you should go home and stay at your house, just." (say Helen be careful)

"But why, auntie?"

"Unlawful couples should not live on the same roof. To prevent forbidden things."

Talita breathed heavily.

"That's why I want to get married quickly."

Rossie glanced at Talita.

"Not shameless."

Talita realizes that Rossie's words are on her.

"Sister-in-law, did you say something?"

Whahuh? Sister-in-law? Absolutely disgusting.

"Mom, I'm going to the back, ma'am." (said Rossie)

"Why baby?"

"I want to puke. It's not strong anymore. Maybe I got it wrong on campus."

All pairs of eyes looked at Rossie who was running around in droves.

"Well, we go home first. See you on the day of Talita Arifa and Ziban Alkash's engagement." (say Bram)

Bram and Talita leave the house. Leaving Helen and Ziban still sitting in the same place. If Helen had agreed with Talita to live on the same roof as Ziban, Ziban would not have done anything strange. Ziban still understands the limits. And as for the limits which Ziban referred to, Talita could not shake it in the least.

"Why did you make Ziban stay at his birth mother's house? Papah still doesn't understand. That's outside your business." (asked Bram)

"At his father's house, there's Olive. You know, she's a sneaky girl. He did all things of his will. I don't want to risk letting my future husband live with such a cunning woman." (answered Talita)

Talita and Bram get in the car. Then go back to their homes.

SERIATE...
