The Azahra Heart Investigator
Patchouli Cunning

Rama and Zahra went down the stairs for dinner, Nilam was waiting at the table to eat, he even deliberately prepared some food for Rama as a thank you because this afternoon had invited him to eat outside.

Seeing Nilam who was so attentive to her husband made Zahra just silent even though her heart felt a little uncomfortable, especially when Nilam served himself the food to the plate of Rama, making her feel even more useless as a wife.

But it is not Rama if he does not understand what his wife is thinking, he also took the food of Zahra's plate, making Zahra look very happy to get special treatment from her husband.

While Nilam looks upset to see Rama who is so attentive to Zahra "Wouldn't be a wife who serves her husband," Nilam quipped with a cynical look at the sister-in-law.

Zahra just stood still and lowered her head, Rama clasped her hands, "If the husband can serve the wife, isn't that also good, we should serve each other right?" Rama said with a sweet look to his wife made Zahra smile shyly, he could always make Zahra's mood improve from every speech that was thrown Nilam.

Nilampun was silent, could no longer be called I Zahra if there was Rama near them.

"Ram.eat, I deliberately cooked this food for you," Nilam said with enthusiasm.

Rama menganguk and devoured the food that had been served on his side.

"Hap..." One mouthful and his face instantly changed.

"Didn't you?" Nilam asked with a curious face hoping that Rama would praise his cooking.

Rama nodded as he chewed the food, making Nilam feel relieved, but Rama's facial expression seemed to be holding something back, Zahra frowned, he also wanted to eat food in front of him, but Rama quickly held it, Zahra frowned,makes Zahra a little confused.

"Don't eat!" Rama takes the plate in front of Zahra.

Rama looked towards Nilam who started to stare suspiciously.

"It was made for me, so I'll finish it," Rama poured Zahra's plate of food, then took another meal cooked by the aunt and gave it to Zahra.

"You only eat this" said Rama and he returned to eating so voraciously.

Zahra looked a little upset, so good was Nilam's cooking that Rama did not want to share with him, while Nilam looked very happy to see Rama who looked very much enjoying the food he made.

"Jeek..huek...." Rama still vomited in the toilet until midnight, his body began to limp with cold sweat that soaked his face.

"How much pepper did you put in?" Rama's complaint interrupted his pain while holding his stomach that seemed to twist.

Zahra looked so worried about Rama's condition that it was getting pale, "We go to the hospital, just,"

Rama shook his head, Zahra swept him towards the bed and gave him a drink of water and wiped his sweat with a small towel.

He felt very guilty that he had a bad time thinking to the husband, but he did all this so that Zahra did not eat the food, or the situation might be the same as the condition of Rama now.

"You should have let me eat too, why did you spend it yourself and torture yourself like this" Zahra felt unbearable to see the condition of Rama which made her feel very sad.

Rama smiled even though he looked weak, he rubbed his wife's head and pulled her into his arms, "I'll be sicker, if I see you sick, so let me bear it all,"

Zahra felt moved and hugged her husband's body tightly, not expecting the love of Rama that increasingly makes it float.

Rama began to tell me about the advice of doctors who should make Nilam feel comfortable and not feel excessive anxiety,that made him unable to immediately reject the poisonous food earlier and forced to eat it even though it had to be like this.

Zahra looked at her husband, really a man full of responsibility, not only to his wife but also to his sister, to be willing to endure pain to this extent.

"The longer, I seem to be getting more infatuated with my husband" Zahra said with a shy smile that adorned her face.

Hearing the seduction of his wife made Rama chuckle, although his stomach still feels a little nauseous, he also kissed a glimpse of Zahra's lips and then returned to rest after taking the medicine so that his body feels better tomorrow, the next day, Zahrapun faithfully continued to hug her husband while sleeping.

Dawn greeted, the sun began to show its light at the East end, Zahra came down to make warm tea for the husband who was still lying in bed.

He saw Nilam who was busy in the kitchen.

"What are you doing?" Sapa Zahra while taking a glass of cooked.

"I prepared food for Rama, last night Rama enjoyed it very much, so I will cook again for him" replied Nilam with enthusiasm.

Zahra fell silent and swallowed his Saliva, if Rama had to eat Nilam's cooking again this morning, surely his condition would get worse.

Nilam looked at Zahra who was fixated on seeing her, "Why?you envious?"

Zahra shook her head quickly, and began to make warm tea for Rama.

Nilam went to the room, and the food was ripe, but he still put it on the pot because it was not yet time for breakfast.

Zahra secretly tried Nilam's cooking and her face instantly changed and wanted to vomit, "Is this what my husband ate last night?" Zahra was really confused by Nilam, instead of having to taste the food before it was given to others, why was it so confident like this and made people almost die of poisoning, he said,Zahra looked at some of the ingredients that were still left, she looked up and it seemed that Nilam would not come down until breakfast time,Zahrapun threw away the food made by her sister-in-law and returned to cooking with the same menu and in the same place, this time she will not let her husband get sick again.

Rama sipped warm tea made by the wife, making her feel fresher, especially while looking at the face of Zahra who looks beautiful in the morning.

"Is it getting better?" Zahra checked the body temperature on Rama's forehead and neck with her hands.

Rama took Zahra's hand and kissed her, "I'm fine,"

Zahra was relieved, today she had to go home to prepare for Tiara's wedding, Rama will take her there because there is no urgent work at the office.

Rama was silent when he saw the Nilam cuisine that had been presented at the table, Nilam eagerly prepared the food for Rama, making him swallow his Saliva heavily.

Zahra smiled, "Eat it, I've had a hard time cooking it," said Zahra, who made Rama frown his forehead staring at his wife.

Zahra gave the code to Rama, making Rama understand that his wife had done something.

Ramapun began to devour the food and it turned out to be delicious, he immediately looked at his wife and the two exchanged smiles.

"Because you like, I will often make food for you," said Nilam who still did not realize his mistake.

Nilam was so happy because Rama was so attentive, he also did not deny the wishes of his brother, making Rama and Zahra feel relieved because the food problem was finished.

Zahra was helping Tiara prepare the items she would bring to the venue, while Zahra was tidying up Zahra told Tiara about Nilam, as she suspected that something was wrong with Zahra's sister-in-law.

While Rama gets a sudden phone call from the office, so he leaves Zahra to finish his job.

"You really have to be careful about dealing with people like Nilam, maybe later he hurt you," Tiara reminded because she was worried about her best friend.

Zahra understood very well if Tiara was anxious but she asked that Tiara not have to worry about her condition, "I'll be fine, and yet there's Rama who will always take care of me" Zahra replied with a smile on her face.

Tiara nodded, she was sure Rama could take good care of Zahra, the proof since meeting Zahra's face was so sparkling, the smile was also very clingy and reluctant to leave his face, it seems that his best friend was really happy to be married to Rama, let the matter of Nilam be the spice that adorns their marriage.

That afternoon, Aminah came to visit Rama and Zahra, with a cake in her hand.

"Ting tung's..."

Patchouli who was at home, opened the door to see who was coming.

Upon seeing Aminah, Nilam recalled the old woman on Rama's wedding day, but did not know her at all.

"Assalamualaikum, you must be Nilam huh?"

Nilam nodded, "Waalaikumsalam, mother?"

Aminah smiled and introduced herself, "Mother Aminah, mother Hana,"

Hearing the word Hana made Nilam's face immediately changed, how could Hana's mother visit home, even he came at the wedding of Rama and Zahra, what really happened, now he began to kepo.

"Rama and Zahra are there?" Ask Aminah.

"They were away for a while, and the mother could wait inside" Nilam said, inviting Aminah in.

Nilam took a glass of orange juice to Aminah and let her drink, Amina smiled, turns out to be kind and polite.

"I met Hana about 3 years ago, although not close, but it seems like Hana is a good woman, I should have been friends with her before," nilam said that made Aminah feel happy to hear the praise about her daughter.

"But, it's not too late, I still want to be friends with him now, surely we can be good friends" added Nilam again who makes Aminah look a little sad.

Nilam was silent when he saw Aminah looking down, what really happened to Hana, he thought confused.

Aminah tried to smile and not get carried away, "I am very happy for Nilam to want to be friends with Hana, but unfortunately God loves Hana more son, he has gone to God's side now," said Aminah who made Nilam immediately widened his eyes in surprise.

"So Hana died," Nilam's inner being still looked incredulous.

Aminah tells about the accident that befell Hana, and how Zahra was also involved there, although Aminah never blamed Zahra even loved her very much, she only told me because Nilam wanted to know the truth.

Nilam was silent with a face that looked upset when he knew everything, he began to think that Zahra was deliberately doing all this to snatch Rama from Hana.

Zahra went home alone, and she saw Aminah.

"Mother" Zahra immediately greeted Aminah and gave her warm embrace, and they chatted in the middle room.

While Nilam chose to enter his room after hearing Aminah's story, his emotions were again unstable, he even kept thinking about it and wanted to avenge Zahra's actions against Hana,he walked here and there with a hunting breath holding back the anger.

"Zahra, this is what you do to ensnare Rama, I will not let you live quietly" Nilam murmured as he clenched his hand tightly.

In the evening, Zahra was still waiting for Rama while preparing a cake brought by Aminah in the kitchen,he also cut some fruit for the husband who experienced stomach pain last night and had to eat a lot of fruit to feel fresher.

Nilam walked over to Zahra, Zahra smilingly looking at him.

"Don't need anything?" Ask Zahra.

Nilam did not answer, just looked at Zahra with full of anger, making Zahra a little clumsy and trying to avoid because he did not want problems.

"I'm going to the room,"

"Wait," Nilam held Zahra's arm strong enough to make Zahra grimace a little.

"I need a knife" Nilam said, releasing Zahra's reddened arm from her grip.

Zahra nodded and took the knife she used to peel the fruit, and gave it to Nilam.

"I heard about Hana who died because of your actions" Nilam said with a sharp grin to Zahra while playing the knife in his hand.

Zahra swallowed her Saliva slowly as she began to be alert with Nilam's attitude walking around with a knife in her hand.

"Did you deliberately kill Hana to get Rama?" Nilam approached Zahra and pointed the knife at Zahra's neck, causing Zahra to hold her breath in surprise.

Nilam chuckled at Zahra's expression and pulled the knife away, "How could a murderer be afraid of such a small knife" Nilam said.

"I'm sorry, maybe you've misunderstood me, I never killed Hana on purpose, so if you don't know the real story, don't accuse me of that," Zahra began to be lured because he did not accept Nilam mentioning the killer.

Zahra's words upset Nilam, "Shut up!" Nilam turned the knife to Zahra's face, Zahra closed her eyes in fear.

"Akhs..." Shouted Nilam with his injured hand and dropped the knife on the floor.

Zahra was surprised and opened her eyes, seeing the blood that had already flowed from Nilam's hand, "Sister..."

Rama who had just entered was very surprised to see Nilam injured and hurriedly approached them.
