Happiness Does Not Have to be Rich
Azzam's Stories

" Why...?" asked Zahra annoyed.

" Are you sure you want to go to town? Poor Rama, Deck. Later it's fitting you have a vacation, so Mas can take the restaurant car first." said Azzam hoped the wife according.

" Did I have a car, too...?"

" Hehehee. sorry, my dear. Mas has not dared to bring the car home afraid of the neighbors gosipin Mas have a gift. Because the results of our rice fields are not too much."

" Isa.. there are many lies from my husband." - Zahra.

" I'm sorry. Next time I'll tell you something when the time comes."

Zahra who had yawned several times made Azzam take the initiative to carry him to the room. He knew his wife needed enough rest after last night.

" Go to sleep, let it play again tonight." whispered Azzam.

" No playing! Get out there, Zahra wants to sleep with Rama."

" Dad was with Mommy too..."

" No. u...! Sleeping outside...!"

Azzam let his wife get into bed with a smile. He went into the other room to get his laptop.

" I'm sorry, Deck. Until now I haven't been able to be honest with you. I'm afraid you can't accept it and get disappointed. Your safety is also my top priority. I want to keep you away from them." Inner Azzam.

Azzam went out of the house to Rayyan's place. For rice fields, Azzam entrusted everything to Agus and Cahyo. Even for his workers, Azzam added five people because the rice fields rented were wider than his own rice fields.

" Assalamu'alaikum" said Azzam slowly.

" Wa'alaikumsalam, not to the city of Zam...?" reply Rayyan.

They sat facing each other blocked by the table. Azzam leaned his back while letting out a long sigh.

" Zahra knew about the restaurant."

" Why can? You said you wouldn't tell him now?"

" Well, how else, he's making me not sleep all night."

" sthat mean? She's sick...? It's worth it at school he's lemesy."

" It's not sick...! But... Do you know that husband and wife work at night?"

" ah... Fuck you! I thought he was really sick, you little brother don't have morals!" annoyed Rayyan.

" Where did my sister try?" cibir Azzam's.

" Want me to swear your insubordination!"

" It's ah, there's something important we should talk about."

Rayyan melengos while opening her laptop back to complete her work that is increasingly piling up.

" What's important...?"

" Zahra wants to come to town, Ray. He wants to see what I'm doing."

" Have you told Zahra everything?"

" Of course not, he only knows the restaurants in the city and opens a new branch in Bali. Actually I don't want to keep lying to him, but his safety could be jeopardized if they find out."

" But you shouldn't be hiding, Zam. It's all yours, you have to fight for it."

" I don't know, Ray. I don't know what to do."

" Their lives are threatened, Zam. You need to get them out of that house."

Azzam seemed to be thinking hard about what he was going to do. He just doesn't want his son and wife dragged into his violent past.

" Deni must have taken care of them, Ray. The company is also directly held by him. There are still many eyes - my eyes are there, but it's very difficult to break through the house."

" You're right, I've tried to get in a few times but it's always been blocked. All the servants have also been replaced with their men."

" The only way is through the company" Azzam said.

" How...?"

" We make a rival company."

" We need a lot of capital, Zam. Who will run the company? There's no way we're both, is there?"

" You're crazy...! You made your own wife a decoy?"

Azzam downed the cold drink Rayyan had just taken from the freezer. Looks like his brain is getting heated up late - this end.

" It's not that, I can't possibly appear in public right now. All of my regular work is handled, Zahra just needs a signature."

" It's not that easy, Zam. What if Zahra has to present in front of the client?"

" You take it easy about that, he's a graduate in Management & Business."

" Whataa...? Why is she an SD teacher?"

" I don't want him living in an urban area, I'm more comfortable living in this place."

" You've been married three years and no one knows, you're amazing. May I know how you married her? I know you've never been close to a woman."

" It's a long story, Ray. You won't believe it."

Azzam smiled to himself as he recalled the first time he saw Zahra on the street and ended up marrying her in a very short time.

" You remember, Ray, three years ago, me and him had a big fight until I was kicked out of my own house. It hurts my heart, Ray. it hurts!" Azzam felt a tightness inside his chest.

" Willing to calm myself down, I went to this town after moving all the money in the new account before it was blocked. But after I got here, I looked for a cheap hostel and met Zahra."

" It's just that?" lice Rayyan.

" I didn't expect that we were actually renting a hostel next door. Within a week, I followed him wherever he went. I knew what he was like, his smile, his gentleness... Ah, she's an amazing woman."

" You see him often?"

" Never, rather he had never seen me before that graduation day. I accidentally closed the road where he was waiting for public transport to go to campus. It only took me fifteen minutes to close the road and approach him who was running after time."

" So on...?"

Rayyan began to enthusiastically listen to Azzam's story. He moved up many times the most comfortable sitting position. It looks like the story of Azzam is very interesting if made soap operas.Ups!

" I offered him a ride but not as a motorcycle taxi driver. In motorbike that I use the latest output sport motorbike at that time. I gave him the conditions he had to meet if he wanted to be transferred to campus. Because it's been tight, yes.he has no choice to refuse."

" What conditions do you give Zahra?"

" He should marry me,"

" Huh...! Zahra wants? Aren't you guys acquainted yet...?" rayyan was shocked.

" Hahahaa, of course he has to keep his word, I said his terms after arriving at the campus."

" Huh.. turns out you're sneaky too!"

" How else, from the first look I've been in love."

Rayyan could not believe seeing Azzam's purity. The cold and arrogant man had now completely turned into a calm, gentle, sweet. Huh...! Compliments that make him nauseous himself.

" What are your plans now, Zam...?"

" As I said earlier, we destroyed the shares of Al-Farizy group."

" It's very difficult, Zam. A company of that size will not be destroyed easily. The company was built with great difficulty by your grandfather."

" Well on what...?"

" I'm sure your father is under that woman's threat. Your mother is sick and stuck in that house. We save them first."

" What should I do, Ray...?"

" Let's just say, Zahra should be able to enter your house as eyes."

As Azzam and Rayyan were discussing to find a solution to the problem, without them realizing there was someone standing in front of the half-opened door.

" So you still have a family...?"
