Happiness Does Not Have to be Rich
Stay with me

" Can I kill my mother?" lirih Kaivan's.

" Huh...? What are you saying, Kai?" peekit Zahra's.

" I'm ashamed to admit it as my mother, Ra."

" Not so, Kai, after all, she gave birth to you."

Azzam who saw the closeness of Zahra and Kaivan felt jealous. He was not willing for his wife to share his attention for others.

" I promise to help fight Mami, but after that, please stay with me, don't leave me" Kaivan pleaded.

" Hey.he's my wife! It's not worth talking to her like that!" sentak Azzam's.

" O Azzam! Kaivan just wants to be with us, to be our brother. You don't go too far as he thinks." said Zahra.

" Dear...why did you believe him anyway?" murmur Azzam.

" Azzam did not need to be jealous, Zahra was already considered a brother from the first time we met. I was sorry when he said he had no place to live and only had an identity card with him, and it was fake. Oh yeah, Za... Are you really only 20 years old?"

" Hehehee.it's just a wit - Sakti's wits. I'm 26 plus." said Zahra.

" Heh.. Don't call names! He's your brother-in-law." said Azzam.

" But he's younger than me, Mas." refused Kaivan.

" What does it have to do with age, if you want to stay with me call him 'sister'."

" Ok, from now on I call him 'brother-in-law'."

Azzam pulls Zahra's arm to sit on the sofa but is followed by Kaivan. Azzam who felt uncomfortable because from earlier his half-brother was following his wife.

" Kai.. Can't you stay away from my wife!" hardik Azzam's.

" Can't, Mom. Brother Zahra I need to get home soon. Mami can suspect we've been out of surveillance for too long."

" Wouldn't he just stay here last night?"

" Mommy.we have to move fast, pity Mama there. He needs us, I'm going home, right?" persuade Zahra.

" Don't be selfish, Mum. Right said sister-in-law, we must quickly save papa and mama." said Kaivan.

" Hhh... alright! Give me ten minutes to talk to Zahra together" said Azzam flatly.

" Okay, just ten minutes. Mommy's coming home soon, we need to get home first."

Azzam brought Zahra into his room. While Kaivan sat on the sofa alone leaned back his tired back.

" Dear.can't you just stay the night. I can't afford to part with you much longer." - Azzam.

Azzam hugged his wife's body tightly. If he could, he would want to stay in a position like this. Satisfied hugging, Azzam kissed his wife's entire face.

" Don't be like this. I have to go, it's night." - Zahra.

" It can't, baby. You know, I can't be away from you for a second."

" Zahra knows, but we have to put an end to all this and get back to your family."

" I miss hugging you while sleeping" whined Azzam.

" Don't be like, Rama only knows the work of his mother." said Zahra.

" Which, may I ask for a moment?"

" Seek what...?"

" that... Yang,"

" Oh my God, my. Kaivan only gives us ten minutes, don't be weird!"

Azzam let out a disappointed sigh, his face bent with his manyuning lips. Almost a week they did not meet and his wife refused his wishes.

" Tega you, Deck!"

Zahra actually felt unbearable to leave Azzam who looked frustrated. He was more fussy when he was left than their two-year-old son.

" Well... Zahra go first huh?" pamit Zahra's.

" Go there! No one told you to come here." ketus Azzam.

" Already, Za. Let's talk to him later." Rayyan said.

" Sure, don't worry. Focus on our goals, all this I leave to you. Good luck, sister-in-law." Rayyan embraced Zahra's shoulder with a smile.

Azzam, who had been indifferent, pulled Zahra back into his arms. Can't he be together for one more second? Azzam exhaled violently and kissed his wife's forehead long enough.

" I'll catch up with you there soon, stay alert. Did you get a gun in my room?" whiskey Azzam.

" I've had a chance to check it but haven't been able to bring it to my room." Zahra replied softly.

" Hurry up, Mas's afraid our plan has leaked and Nella can attack you at any time."

" Yes, Mas. I'm going home from here, I'll take it."

Zahra hugged Rama for a moment and handed him back to her husband. Although heavy heart, but Zahra still have to go.

Arriving home, Zahra immediately followed Kaivan to the second floor. She immediately retrieved the key to her husband's room which Kaivan had kept.

" Sister-in-law...why not be honest from the beginning with me?" lick Kaivan.

" Sorry, Mister... I_..."

" Don't call me that again when you're both."

" Alright, I'm sorry for lying to you."

" How did you get married to Mas Azzam? I know Mas Azzam was a long time before Mami got married to papa. Mas Azzam was never close to any woman."

" Because our destiny is a match. What's the matter, Kai?"

" It's okay - what. What does it feel like to love someone?"

" Have you never loved anyone?"

Kaivan shook his head while leaning his back on the edge of the bed. Zahra and Kaivan sat on the floor without any pedestal.

" Love is of some kind, Kai. Love to mother, father and brother. There is also love for the opposite sex" Zahra said.

" But I don't feel it all, brother. Since Papi's gone, I've never loved anyone."

" You still have Mami, Kai."

" He's not Mami, he's Papi's killer!" Kaivan clenched both his hands.

" Kai...?"

Kaivan cupped both of his palms to his matted face. The tightness in the chest that he had been damming finally came off with tears flowing.

" I know he killed Papi. He was caught cheating when we got home from Bali. I've been quiet all this time waiting for the right time to avenge Papi's death."

" How's your Papi family? Has no one been bothered about your sudden death?"

" I've never known Papi's family. From birth we lived together in the house of Om Darco, Mami's sister. Papi never met his family at all."

Zahra tears in her eyes as Kaivan recounts her bleak childhood after her Papi's death. His life was so stressful that no one would want to get close to him.

" Don't be sad, from now on we are brothers. There's me, Mas Azzam, Mama Rahma and Papa Zaid. We're one family, there's also your nephew."

" Promise me, Brother Zahra, stay with me no matter what. I live like a kara."

Zahra gently rubbed Kaivan's shoulder to strengthen her heart which was currently very fragile. His look of compassion made him unable to hold back his tears that flowed along.

" Kai.. You want this to be over quickly, right?"

" Of course, Brother. I'm tired of all this. What can I do to help you?"

" Tell me everything you know about Darco."

" I mean...?"
