Wedding Play
Who Is Zaina Loved?

Zaina came out of the dressing room after she prepared with lightning fast due to the time. Zaina looked at her husband who was sitting on the sofa while playing his phone. Zaina sat down in front of the dressing table to put on her makeup and tidied up her hair.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

Gevin turned to Zaina who was sedan with lip cream on her lips. "Where are you going? Isn't she sick?"

Zaina looked at her husband behind the mirror reflection in front of her. His hands were busy tying his hair. "I'm no longer papa, so I can go out"

"To meet that man? The man in the park at the time?"

Zaina sighed softly, as her husband was still talking about the thing that had actually happened a long time ago. Zaina stood up and approached her husband.

"For why you should keep talking about things that have happened. I've never talked about you being married to the woman who was your first love"

Gevin stood up, he looked at Zaina with a face that completely held back anger. "I married her because you asked for it. Even if you don't ask me to marry her, I won't marry her either"

"But you yourself said that if you had met Lolyta first, then what you would have married was her. You regret marrying me, Mum?" zaina asked half-shouting

"No! I have no regrets about marrying you. But surely you're the one who's sorry because now you can't be free with the man you love. I guess you're a good woman who understands what a wife's attitude is supposed to be. But apparently, you went with the man you love after you had a husband"

"ENOUGH!" zaina shouted with tears that had just dripped. He looked at Gevin with a sting. "...You want to know who the man I've loved for all those years?"

Zaina walks into the locker room and carries a book she keeps tightly in the drawer of the closet she locks every day. Zaina returns to Gevin by giving the book to her husband.

"You'll know who the man I've loved so far is in this book. I'll go first"

Zaina picked up the bag and immediately walked out of the room by wiping away the remaining tears on her cheeks.

"Za, why?"

Zaina looked towards Lolyta who was sitting on the sofa of the living room. He tried to smile. "No papa Ly, I go to school first huh"

Lolyta just nodded, she had heard Zaina's voice loud enough in the room. And that makes Lolyta feel uncomfortable because her current self turns out to be a trigger for a fight between Zaina and Gevin.

While in the room, Gevin still holds the book that Zaina gave him. Perplexed as to why Zaina gave the book to him, she was so curious that she sat down on the sofa and began to open it. The first page is Zaina's story when she entered high school. Gevin smiled to himself with this funny story that his wife had experienced.

The second sheet about Zaina getting a love letter from her secret fan at school. Gevin closes the book and keeps it under the table, he has to work now and will read it later.

"Could it be the man who gave her the love letter that Zaina loved until now?"

It is still a question in Gevin about the man his wife loves to this day. Gevin was really curious as to who that man was.

This afternoon Zaina finished teaching at her second school. He felt his body start to limp, probably because the real him had yet to completely heal. But still force yourself to go to school.

"Darling.."

Zaina looked up and she saw her husband who was waiting for her in front of the gate and his car that was stuck there. Zaina immediately approached her husband.

"Why did you catch me?" zaina asked, because Zaina hoped that Gevin would pick her up again, but Gevin didn't come.

Zaina just smiled weakly hearing that. Then dropped his head on Gevin's chest, hugged him tightly. Treat the anger this morning between them.

"Come in, your body is warm again. Still not completely healed"

Gevin helps Zaina get into the car, and she gets into the car and drives away.

"Mas, are you home from work at this hour? Usually late afternoon, sometimes even night"

"Yes, there's not much work today. So I can go home sooner"

Zaina nodded in understanding, she leaned her head against the back of the car seat. Closing his eyes to remove this slight dizziness he was experiencing.

"Darling, you're dizzy again, aren't you? We stopped by the hospital to check on you?"

Zaina shook her head, still with her head leaning. "Yesterday' will have been checked by the doctor as well. It's just a cold and fever, later it will also heal"

Gevin only sighed softly with Zaina's refusal. His wife was a little stubborn. "Yaudah, but leave work tomorrow, if you want to get well soon"

"Yes, I took my leave"

When they reach the apartment, they must be surprised by the presence of Jenny and Vania there. It wasn't them who were surprised, but Lolyta who was there as well. Jenny and Vania's gaze was completely questionable to Gevin and Zaina who had just arrived.

"Mother, Mother when did you come? Kok wants to come here not to say" Zaina immediately approached them and regretted it.

"Zaina, may Mother speak with you for a moment. We're going to your room yuk"

Zaina looked at her husband, but she couldn't refuse her mother's request either. So he just nodded and agreed to her mother's words.

"Then excuse me to go to the room first" said Lolyta who began to understand the situation. Surely Jenny and Vania want to talk to their two children about the whereabouts of Lolyta in their apartment.

Zaina brought her mother into the room. Sitting side by side on the sofa, actually Zaina began to know what the Mother was going to talk about.

"So, what really happened, son?" ask Jenny gently

Zaina lowered her head in silence, she could at least tell lies to her Mother, especially now that Jenny was in front of her.

"There is nothing Mother" said Zaina, still trying to cover up the truth that happened.

Jenny grabbed her daughter's hand and held it gently. "Surely there's nothing you want to tell me about Mother? Mother will be sad if Zaina dares to lie to Mother. Who's Lolyta Nak, and why would she stay here with you?"

Zaina completely bowed her face, not daring to look at her Mother when she realized she was trying to lie to her Mother.

"He was Mas Gevin's first love, Mother"

Finally Zaina could no longer cover everything.
