Chapter 28 - Meeting Azzam's Parents

The motorbike driven by Azzam has entered his spacious yard. Likha was stunned to see how big Azzam's parents' house is. It turned out that his guess was right Azzam's parents were respected people. Both are landlords, and they have many fields and plantations so that their wealth can support seven generations.

"Azzam, I'm feeling inferior now. I'm nothing compared to you." Likha, who just got off Azzam's motorbike, lowered his head Azzam smiled and held Likha's hand tightly.

"Honey, all this belongs to my parents not mine. I'm just like you, I don't have anything right now. So I hope you don't get discouraged, I will always be with you and fight for you dear." Likha felt her heart calm down a bit.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Azzam opened the door after saying hello. His father was waiting for him in the living room while his mother had just returned from the kitchen making Azzam's father coffee.

"Wa'alaikum salam, sit down." Azzam's father was very curt to see his son coming with a girl who looked still small with her face down.

"Father, mother, as you wish, I brought Likha here." Azzam and Likha sat in front of their father and mother, Likha's hand squeezed the hem of his shirt, and his face was downcast. She did not dare to look at Azzam's parents. Moreover, she had heard Azzam's father's voice which sounded fierce. Likha's body was shaking with fear.

"Likha, calm down dear. Everything will be fine." Azzam whispered in Likha's ear, but all that did not effect them, Likha was still scared.

"So it's that girl? who made you dare to go against your parents?" Azzam's father immediately snapped, making Likha startled.

"Her name is Likha Dad and I want her, Likha is not at all guilty. I want to take care of her, I love her very much dad, mom, please bless us." Azzam actually does not accept his father's attitude, but for Likha's sake, she is willing to give in to his parents.

"What's your name? why are you lowering your head. Don't you think of us?" Azzam's father again let out his roar [what is it a lion? He..he..] Likha was shaking more and more hearing that. She also shed tears because she was too scared.

"Answer me son, don't be afraid! Azzam's father is like this." Azzam's mother said softly. At first glance at Likha's face, Azzam's mother immediately liked her son's lover. But to get married so soon, Azzam's mother agrees more with Azzam's father. They are still too young and still in school.

"Honey, answer me! I'll only be satisfied when you answer." Azzam held Likha's hand, giving Likha a sense of security.

"My name..Likha, uncle" Likha was finally able to say her name even though she stammered.

What are your parents' jobs?" Azzam's father snapped at Likha, so she shivered in fear. Azzam put his arm around Likha's shoulder to calm her down.

"Father, Azzam told me, Likha's parents just died in an accident. That's why I want to marry her immediately so I can take care of her." Azzam representing Likha answered her father's question.

"Azzam, you shut up. I'm asking him. Can he not answer? Then how will you face this life if you get married, while you can't even answer my question, you think getting married is easy? While Azzam is also still in college. Then what about will you live? are you going to trouble us again?" Azzam was surprised by his father's words. Azzam felt Likha's heartache.

"Father, don't be so outrageous! I came home because I obeyed your wishes to introduce her. Not to insult her, if you don't agree I don't mind. I will still marry her with or without your blessing." Azzam stood up and pulled Likha's hand, he was about to ask her out, but Likha let go of Azzam's hand.

"Likha, what are you doing honey? Let's get out of here. I'm not their child anymore." Azzam pulled Likha's hand again, but Likha let go again.

"Father, mother, I'm sorry if I influenced your son to act like this. Please forgive Azzam, I will not force you. If you do not allow us to be together, I am willing to let Azzam." Likha sobbed and looked down again. Azzam's father slightly cracked a smile on his lips, while Azzam's mother looked at her son, who heard that Likha had given up.

"Likha, what do you mean? Didn't I already say that I would defend you. I will always be with you dear, even if I have to leave this house." Likha was surprised to hear Azzam's words. Then she approached Azzam, clasped his hands, and smiled.

"Azzam, I beg you to let me go. We may not be in a relationship, I don't want you to be a disobedient child, Azzam. I really love you, but I want a love that gets their blessing. Besides, maybe I don't deserve you. So I please spare me, don't you leave them for me." Likha looked at Azzam, who looked very sad to hear his words. Then Likha approached Azzam's father and mother, her face swollen from crying and a little pale smiled at Azzam's parents.

"Father, mother, I apologize for causing this trouble. Don't be angry with Azzam, he is a very good son of yours. I'll excuse myself first." Likha kissed the hands of Azzam's parents and looked into Azzam's eyes which emitted a profound sadness. His chest felt tight, and his head was very dizzy, but then she smiled at Azzam. Likha took Azzam's hand and kissed it, and then she said goodbye to Azzam and his parents.

"Father, a mother, excuse me first. Azzam, I beg you to forgive me ..?" Likha felt her head was very dizzy, but she had to be strong. He will return to his parent's house; she will pray at his parent's grave and return to the dormitory. She walked to the door with unsteady steps, leaving the three people standing still listening to his words. Azzam looked into his father's eyes.

"Is father satisfied, are you satisfied. I will stay with him with or without your blessing." Azzam chased Likha out, but when he arrived at the door, he screamed because he saw Likha already lying on the terrace of his house.

"Likhaa... Likha.. wake up dear! why are you like this, honey wake up.." Azzam's father and mother, who heard their son screaming immediately saw what happened, then they relented for now and took Likha to the hospital. They felt a little guilty towards their son's lover. However, the girl was not entirely at fault.

"Azzam, quickly get Likha into the car." Mom and Dad are already in the car. Azzam immediately put Likha into her father's car, and he held Likha's head, his hand patted Likha's cheek to wake up, but Likha kept her eyes closed. Half an hour later, they arrived at the clinic without going to the hospital. They waited anxiously in front of the examination room. These three people are now very apprehensive and feel sorry for Likha's current state.
