"Yes. I'll defend him. Not only defending Kiara, but I will also marry her. You guys hear that?!" Zee said it spontaneously while staring at the faces of the men who came along with Yono earlier.
"Tidaakk! No one can marry Kiara!"
Yudha who was aware of Zee's words immediately shouted hysterically. He immediately moved forward to hit Zee, but his steps were directly blocked by neighbor Kiara. Yono who saw that immediately raised his sharp gaze towards the son.
"Don't do it again. Until now, I won't marry you to this cheap lady!" Yono yelled at Yudha who was still seen thrashing.
Now, Yono's eyes turned to Zee. He was seen challenging Zee with his prideful attitude.
"If you really intend to marry this woman, do it right now. I want to see how brave you are to do it." Yono stared while sneering at Zee.
Zee, who was determined to marry Kiara and save her from the immoral people, immediately snatched Yono's challenge.
"good. I'm going to marry Kiara today as well. I'm asking, everyone here to be a witness." Zee looked closely at the people who were there. He saw that the three people he met yesterday were also there.
Feeling a challenge back from Zee, Yono immediately responded. "good. We will be witnesses. We waited at ten in the mosque near the village hall. If you break the promise not to marry Kiara, I ask you to give up all the money you have given to the landowner."
"No problem" said Zee. That's not a big deal for Zee. He accepted Yono's request.
After that, all the citizens who were there dispersed. Yono even dragged his son who escaped from prison, and immediately contacted the police.
Meanwhile, Zee immediately spoke to Mr. Warto and his wife to help Kiara improve.
"Son Zee, are you sure you're going to do this?" Mr. Warto still looks in disbelief.
"Bismillah, sir. I'm convinced. I'm seriously going to marry Kiara."
"But, are you able to accept Kiara's status as just an ordinary person and an orphan?"
"Can, sir." Zee answered with confidence. I don't know why he got so fast.
"Can you promise to treat Kiara well, son? Sorry in advance, I'm nobody Kiara. But, you know Kiara's suffering all this time. You just don't want Kiara to suffer anymore."
Mr. Warto looks relieved. He turned his head towards Kiara who was still as excited. Pak Warto walked over to Kiara who was still sitting in the arms of his wife.
"Kia, you've heard Nak Zee's words yourself, right? Are you willing to marry her?" Pak Warto looked at Kiara's face.
Kiara raised her face that was still teary-eyed. He looked at Zee's face and Mr. Warto took turns.
"Me-married?"
"Yes. Nak Zee is willing to marry you. Perhaps, by marrying Nak Zee, you can leave this village and start your life quietly. And also, your grandmother can get better treatment."
Kiara looked back at Zee. The look of their eyes met. Kiara saw seriousness on Zee's face. That resolute face, indeed implied a solemnity that was not playful.
Pronouncing the bismillah inwardly, Kiara nodded her head in response to her agreement. Immediately, Mr. Warto and Zee were relieved.
After that, Zee intends to bring Kiara to the house of Mr. Iskandar's parents. Zee is sure, his parents must have arrived there considering it was almost eight in the morning. Zee wants to introduce Kiara to her parents.
Zee also asked Warto and his wife to accompany him. After preparing, they immediately went to the house of Mr. Iskandar's parents.
True to Zee's guess. The daddy's car was parked there. Zee immediately parked his car as soon as he entered the yard of Mr. Iskandar's parents' house. Zee also asked everyone to come down and enter the house.
Just as they arrived at the door, Gitta's voice cried from inside the house. Zee hurriedly walked over to the mommy.
"Mom?"
\=\=\=
Why is Gitta crying?
So this marriage is not it? 🤔
