My husband's my Idol Chef
82. Disreputation

Zayn immediately headed to Clara's house. He believes that Clara went straight home. Zayn had never felt this way, a feeling of nervousness, joy and fear of being one.

The hand that was holding the wheel felt cold and slightly trembling. I don't know, Zayn's never felt anything like this before. Such a high sense of self-confidence disappears no longer seen in Zayn who is heading to the house of the owner of his heart.

Zayn stopped his car in front of Clara's house. Clara's car was parked there as usual. Zayn honked his car horn so the security guard there opened the door for him.

In a hurry and run the security guard opened the door for Zayn. The security guard is already familiar with Zayn because Zayn who often played with Clara starting from small to adult like now.

"Non Clara just got home, Mas" the security guard gave a report before Zayn asked her.

It is true, if Zayn came there, surely the first one to ask was Clara. So the security guard always told her about Clara before Zayn asked her.

Zayn smiled at the report from the security guard and said,

"Thank you sir."

Zayn took his wallet out of his pants pocket and gave one hundred thousand bills to give to the security guard.

As usual, the security guard smiled happily by thanking Zayn, and left Zayn in his guard post.

Zayn took a deep breath and interrupted him, many times Zayn did so until he felt relieved and ready then he entered the house of Clara.

Zayn knocks on Clara's door and her housekeeper opens the door for her.

The housemaid invited Zayn in because they knew Zayn was not someone else they should report to their employer.

"Emmm... Mas Zayn wait a moment, Mr. Madam and Non Clara there are still important talks in the living room. I just make a drink for a while Mas," said the maid who was about forty-five years old.

Zayn nodded and smiled as usual at the housekeeper. After the housekeeper leaves Zayn for the kitchen, Zayn slowly settles into the living room to steal what is important to Clara and her parents. Because Zayn had a hunch that they were talking about Clara's pregnancy.

Sure enough Zayn guesses. Both of Clara's parents argue with Clara about her pregnancy.

"Why are you so stupid as Clara?" Mama Clara yelled at the crying Clara prostrating herself in front of her parents.

"You know that your future could be ruined just because of your stupidity?" now it was Papa Clara's turn to speak firmly and in a high tone.

Clara cried as much as she could by repeatedly saying the word 'sorry' to her parents. And it makes Zayn could not bear to see the woman he loved so far is being judged by his parents for his mistake with the woman his adoration.

"Sorry Aunt, Om. I will be responsible for marrying Clara. Whenever it was, I was ready" Zayn said firmly after he suddenly entered the room.

Clara and her parents are shocked to see Zayn already at the venue and say they will marry Clara to account for her pregnancy.

"Is he really Zayn's son?" Papa Clara stared at Clara very sharply making Clara's guts shrivel in fear of being interrogated by her Papa like that.

Clara was sobbing more, she did not answer because she was afraid if her parents were angry because Zayn was the real father of the child she contained.

"Sorry Om, Auntie. Please don't be mad at Clara like that, not only is she wrong, because I was wrong, we were both wrong, so punish us both, marry us both so that the child in Clara's womb does not become an illegitimate child," Zayn unconsciously said, he suddenly had the courage to not have the heart to see Clara sobbing.

"No. it's impossible. This must be Raymond's son, and you're protecting him. Right no? Raymond is responsible. He's the one who should marry Clara, not you!" Mama Clara hysterically wants Raymond as her daughter-in-law.

"Sorry Aunt, but this is my son. Clara and I did the relationship consciously and asked Om and Aunt to bless us," Zayn humbled himself by prostrating himself before Clara's parents, next to Clara who was still prostrating in front of her parents.

"You think we believe? And you think we'd like to bless you just because you've been Clara's friend since you were a kid and you're Xavier's extended family? No. We will not agree, all we want is the original heir of the Xavier family, Raymond Xavier. Understood?" Mama Clara rejected Zayn outright.

Zayn felt humiliated by resting before Clara's parents he was insulted and unwanted by them just because he was not a descendant of the Xavier family. Zayn is a distant cousin of Raymond, but Daddy Nathan and Mommy Grace never insulted him, even they already consider Zayn like their own child, late like the younger brother of Raymond.

"Go home, and don't try to come here with the intention of marrying Clara. Except for Raymond Xavier who came to propose to her," Papa Clara expelled Zayn violently.

"Ma, Pa, but Raymond couldn't have married me, he. he's-he's-"

"He must answer for it. Mama didn't want to know" Mama Clara left the room and was followed by her Papa.

Zayn looked at Clara who was crying. Clara was still crying as she cried with tears. Zayn grabbed Clara's body and hugged her tightly. Clara grew sobbing in Zayn's arms.

"Dear, please don't cry. Are we just going to get out of here and get married secretly?" said Zayn who still hugged Clara who was getting teary-eyed.

"Darling, I promise to fight for you, and I will make you happy because I loved you so much long ago. You believe it, don't you?" Zayn broke his embrace and saw the face of his lover.

Clara nodded her head. He had refused Zayn with all his strength, but now he felt comfortable and protected near Zayn. Clara believes that it is an inner bond that is connected by their child who is still in the womb.

"I'm going back to marry you. Now I'm going to find a way to get your parents to agree with our marriage" after saying it, Zayn kissed the old Clara's forehead and Clara nodded still with her sighs and tears dripping down.

"Why are you still here? Go now that we're going to get Clara checked into the hospital," Mama Clara kicked Zayn out.

"But we were sud-"

"Go Zayn" said Clara, interspersed with sobs.

Zayn complied because he did not want Clara to be scolded again by her parents.

After Zayn returned home, Clara invited her Mama Papa to check herself into the hospital, after which they went to the Xavier family's main house.

"Clara was pregnant with Raymond's child. We want Raymond to be immediately responsible for marrying her!"
