CHARM GIRL WITH HAZEL EYES

CHAPTER 11. A FAILED VISIT TO THE FATHER-IN-LAW

I don't know how many times Tara wiped her snot, the girl didn't even care about the look of pity that Artar held.

"Although Kayra did not marry Azmi, Tara considered her own child" said the mother. Her hand painstakingly stroked Tara's arm. "I'm sorry, son, thank you for being Kayra's best friend" she said.

Tara shook her head slowly. In this room there was only her, mother and Artar. I was guarding the store and Azmi went somewhere with Amel. There must be more to tell Azmi with Kayra's father and mother, a very young old man who hopes to become her father-in-law. "It's still very difficult for me to accept that Kayra has become the wife of Iqbal ma'am" replied Tara honestly. Yes, it was very heavy for him, even Tara fell ill when she heard that fact. The older sister he wanted was not to be a sister-in-law to him. He alone felt a terrible pain, let alone his brother? Yang had even loved Kayra in silence for many years until she finally dared to be honest about her own feelings.

"But even so, I also like that Kay is happily married to Iqbal. Kak Azmi said, Kayra looked at the seneng earlier," said Tara again. The girl forced a smile on her pink lips, even though it looked strange in the end.

"Mas Azmi've met Kay's mom?" ask Artar. From then on he only accompanied his mother and also Tara without giving any comment.

Tara shrugged her shoulders. "Come on," replied the girl. "But clearly he's seen Kay's condition,"

"But haven't met?" ask Artar.

"Not yet Ar," replied Azmi who suddenly appeared, followed by the father who held Amel's small hand. "Gue has no intention to meet Kayra, and has not dared to also si," he said. The young man smiled faintly and drank the coffee the mother prepared. It was Kayra who often made him drink, the young man said.

"Gue wants to talk to you and mom" Azmi said. "Lo can get out?" ask the young man again.

"Gue can't be horrified?"

"No" he answered briefly. "Little kids play outside" Azmi said. "Amel invited Tara to play outside, Azmi wanted to talk seriously with her mother" said Azmi who spoke to Amel in a soft tone.

"You want to talk about Kay?"

The plain question that Amel raised suddenly made the five adults there dumbfounded. How could he ask Azmi that?

"No papa mas, Amel invite mbak Tara mas Ar play outside yes. Let Azmi can talk about Kay's mother and father. Promise deh Amel will not talk to mbak Kay again, which is important do'a Amel granted," said the boy again.

Father and mother looked at each other, as well as Artar and Tara who were confused by what the little boy said.

"Emang Amel do'a what dear?" ask mother.

"Amel prayed that Azmi would make Kay rich and my father" he said. His small outstretched hand drew Tara and Artar's hand. "I want to play outside," he said again. He had absolutely no idea of the consequences of the sentence he had just said.

"Where are you?" ask the man who was sitting next to Azmi. "You're healthy in Australia?" ask the father again.

"Alhamdulilah healthy sir," replied Azmi. If you ask him about his physicality, then he's perfectly fine. But he will give a different answer if the father asks his inner. "Same mother how?"

"Alhamdulillah be healthy, but this is. Gout is still often recurrent. Cough is also tuh mas, very difficult to say so not to smoke but still ngrokok. It's as if what you're talking about is just the right ear coming out the left ear" said the mother who was trying to melt the atmosphere.

Azmi chuckled softly. "No, sir, I'm worried about you. A day's dad smokes how many sticks sir?"

"A pack of mas at most,"

"Wah Azmi lost dong," said the young man chuckling softly. Azmi again sipped his coffee plan, trying to eliminate the gerogi since the departure of three people who were also here before. "Well, what about Mrs?" ask Azmi.

You smile thinly. "What does this mean?"

Azmi chuckled again, but this time her little laughter sounded bitter. "Kayra is happy, right sir? He's all right, isn't he?" ask the young man.

Mother nodded small. "Alhamdulillah, thanks to do'a mas Azmi, Kayra is healthy. And god willingly happy, even though it was only Kayra herself who knew,"

"Don't keep remembering Kayra ya mas, same father mom so that's not good with you. You also deserve to be happy with your own choice of woman" said the father. "You're a good man, smart, insightful. There are many good women out there who will definitely not reject you," said the father again.

"But there is no Kayra among them sir" Azmi replied. His voice sounded raucous, he just wanted to vent what he had felt for the past four months. "But Azmi is studying sincerely, Azmi is learning to summarize everything. Even though you know yourself, it will not be easy for Azmi. Let alone finding a woman like Kayra," he said. He smiled, not sure what looked beautiful in front of him. "Tara had hoped very much Kayra sir, but it turns out Azmi can not love happiness that also to Tara," said Azmi again, the young man looked down deeply.

*****

Tara wiped away her tears that came back down without being asked. Beside him was Artar who continued to stroke his hand, trying to send the little energy that the young man had. While Amel, I don't know where to go with his friends.

"Udah mbak" said Artar. Seeing Tara who continued to cry of course made herself also confused what to do. "There is much more pain than elo mbak" he said.

Tara looked towards Artar. "My brother?"

Artar nodded small. "He may be sicker than elo many times over. Iqbal's brother deket him, mbak Acha his best friend. Maybe he's disappointed in all of them but he's not pointing it out in front of us. You know it yourself, right? Sepinter what brother lo,"

Tara nodded small. "Gue still did not expect all of this. Why would Kayra be the same as Azmi's sister,"

"Mbak Kay is the same brother Iqbal is also a victim of mbak," said Artar who did not accept if the girl in front of him began to blame her brother. "Mak Kayra is also a victim, she also does not know anything and has no other choice in the last moments of her best friend," said Artar again who began to ignite. "Mbak Kay is not that bad for someone else, he even wants to nuker the only life that two have for the person he loves" said Artar again, before leaving Tara and following Amel.
