CHAPTER 49

Silence becomes the faithful friend of the husband and wife meeting. Clear keristal accompany togetherness that is evaporating stuffy in the chest. No words are spoken just eyes talking to each other.

Alina was sick when she saw the appearance of the husband who is now far from neat impression. Ruffled hair, a tangled shirt, as well as a thin beard and mustache sprung up. He did not know that Yasmin's departure ravaged Azam's world so severely. However, he can only be understood because it is not easy to accept the departure of loved ones.

"Alina," call Azam just like that.

He then limped closer to his wife, until they stood facing the thin distance between them. Alina looked up to see her face, right hand outstretched warm cupped cheeks of the husband. Azam then clasped his fingers firmly and carried him forward giving a light peck there. Both eyes closed inhaling the aroma that was pouring out between Alina's hands.

"Is he okay?" ask Alina later.

His eyelids were also open displaying a deep loneliness. Azam could not answer a word only tears spoke. Alina understood and removed it slowly and looked down at their young hearts who were sound asleep.

"Our son, isn't he very similar to you, Mom? Has Mas assaulted him? Did you give him a name?" ask Alina streak.

Azam tried to control himself to contain emotions. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly then rubbed his little angel fondly. "I've already wronged him when you were unconscious." Saying that is the same as opening an old wound. His cry broke again, both sturdy shoulders trembled strongly withstanding the turmoil within the chest.

Alina immediately hugged him and rubbed his back slowly. "Mas, don't worry. I'm sure Yasmin is calm there. I know that God loves Yasmin very much, which is why God calls her so quickly. There mbak Yasmin no longer feel pain, we pray that the deceased is placed at His best side," he said with a clear liquid dripping unbearable, he removed it quickly and tried hard.

Azam just nodded his head and returned his embrace. She cried again and again without saying anything. "Don't be sad, I'm here. Don't ever think that everyone will leave you. No. Mas, here is me, our son and Aqeela. He is the most beautiful treasure that God has given you through Yasmin. She's the trust we have to take care of, do you want to raise her with me?"

Azam pecked with both eyes back widened. He let go of their arms and cupped Alina's shoulders. His iris looked at the wife's net inside, there were no lies or doubts there.

"A-are you sure about what you said?"

Alina nodded quickly. "Darling, I love you so much. Are you okay now? Thank God you've come to your senses and can be here, I'm sorry I can't keep you company anymore. I thought .. I'd lose you both."

"God, God is still giving you a second chance, I will stay here with you and our son, daughter."

The smile that was fluttering on Alina's pale lips immediately cooled the feeling. Azam cupped his wife's cheeks warmly and planted a warm kiss all over her face. "God, thank you very much" he said, then embraced Alina again.

The sight invited a curved crescent moon on the handsome face of Angga. He was not far from the couple. He also felt a sense of novelty in their families, as someone who witnessed the journey of the story of the friend, Angga hope both can get happiness. After delivering Alina safely, she leaves, giving them privacy.

...***...

There was no one else but the three of them. Alina turned to look at the husband with her pale face smiling sincerely looking at their baby. A warm feeling immediately jolted the heart.

"Mas ... Would you name the boy?" ask Alina later.

Azam looked towards Alina while the two beads were wide open. He could not believe the question came from his wife's mouth. The instant the tears flowed unbearably making Alina distraught.

"Ma-mas what's up? Wh-did anyone get sick? Where ... where is it?" Alina clasped the husband's shoulder firmly while watching his sturdy body.

Azam rubbed the clear liquid slowly and cupped his wife's cheek with one hand. "I'm okay, honey. I just ..."

"Yes?" Alina stared fixedly at him again waiting for what to say next.

"I just .. just moved. How can you ask me if I want to name this child. I'm ashamed Al .. I'm so ashamed. I used to not recognize him as my flesh and blood. Aren't I a bad father?" said Azam bowing his head deep.

Again and again Alina smiled widely watching the fragility of her partner. He recalled how Azam accused him of being in touch with another man and not admitting the child he was carrying. The pain still looms today, but Alina tries sincerely and forgives all of Azam's mistakes. Because after all he is the biological father of the baby he has born.

Alina also grasped the hand of her long fingers. Highlight the warm and soft eyes again welcomed Azam's brownish bead. The heartbeat was too fast, he only realized that the wife was so beautiful and charming.

"I'm too stupid to have wasted a woman as you, Alina. I am so sorry and want to fix everything. If there's a second chance ak-"

His words were cut off quickly as Alina silenced her mouth. Azam widened his eyes to see his wife so close. Both eyes that close also drain clear keristal as a sign of happiness. He rubbed it gently and slowly his firm hand stretched out to the back of Alina's head.

He pressed it a little hard and his eyelids closed. The union that was happening instantly melted the feeling. The tempestuous love in the chest was conveyed to each other. Mentari who was returning to the contest also smiled cheerfully to witness the romance of the couple.

For months they have not felt each other, now the opportunity comes to drain the liquid clear endless. Not pain, but relief. Alina's defense collapses when she witnesses how fragile Azam is after Yasmin.
