I'm a Son-in-law Not a Maid

Part 12's

"Well, Zizah can't go home for now. I'm confused to go home, because tickets have been booked for all round-trip." Azizah called Mamahnya.

"Yes, Zah. Mamah understands your situation, later if you have returned directly to the hospital, yes" said Mamah Azizah.

"Yes, Mah" said Azizah.

After that Azizah just kept quiet and pensive, thinking about her father. Unforgotten feeling swept through his heart. For Azizah, her father was a hard worker. Anything is done for his children. His affection is so great that he misses the figure of the bayah man.

Azizah felt guilty with her father, leaving the house without saying goodbye. For years he lost track of her, so that no one would know about her. There is a sense of wanting to go home, but always undone his intention because it is not ready if you have to meet with Dad. He did not want to see the face of his greatest man was disappointed what he had done. It was never thought that Azizah's life would be like this, carried away in the company of the times, making her forget the risks of the future. Getting married young is not easy, especially without careful preparation. Lots of obstacles faced, sweet-bitter lived with all my heart.

Spelled from a lower middle caste family, making his Mother-in-law always demeaning Azizah. Too often, the Mother-in-law insulted the work of Azizah's parents. So bitter that she felt, that she bitterly swallowed all the words of the mother of her husband. Treated arbitrarily, sometimes he just restrained the mind, surviving for the sake of his small family. Getting out of the house is also very difficult to do. If his father knew this, it must be very sad that the girl who is always loved with all her heart, gets treated like a maid by her own in-laws.

The daydream was broken when there was a phone call from Mamah Azizah.

"Zizah, your father ...." Mamah Azizah paused for a moment while crying in tears.

"Well, why, Mah?" ask Azizah curiously.

"Your father is currently in a coma" replied Mamah Azizah.

"Oh my God, how can you, Mah?" Azizah was shocked by his father's condition.

"Your father's heart and stomach complications and age are fairly elderly, making it more drop," explained Mamah Azizah.

"Well how is this? Azizah can't go home yet, Mah," Azizah's cries broke while worried for her father.

"Just pray, may your father be awakened from his coma soon" said Mamah Azizah.

"Yes, Mah. Zizah always prays for Dad" Azizah said.

After she finished talking to her Mom on the phone, Azizah approached Jerry.

"Well, my father is in a coma" Azizah said, shedding tears.

"Koma?" Jerry was surprised by Azizah's words.

"Yes, Dad. He said heart and stomach complications. How'this? Hu .. hu ...." Azizah was crying in front of her husband.

"You have patience, Bun. When we get there, we rush straight to the hospital." Jerry tried to calm Azizah down.

Already one week Azizah in Pontianak, Jerry's cousin's celebration event went smoothly and festively. Tomorrow is the day that will go home, anxiety still haunts Azizah's mind. The anxiety he faced never subsided, he could not stand it anymore he wanted to visit his father. His father's condition has also not improved, still in a coma. He continued to pray for his recovery and promised to bow his knees begging for forgiveness. He was very sinful to his parents, who gave them deep wounds.

The day to return home arrived, Azizah could not wait to see her father in the hospital. Just try to meet him from the beginning there will certainly be no regret like this, he murmured inwardly. Azizah tried to calm her mind so that what she feared would not happen. He looked at Raphael's face, to remove his mistress. Sometimes seeing the innocent child's face, like to cool the heart.

I'll wait a minute, Azizah will come to see you ....

Such was Azizah's heart, hoping to hear an apology from the Father. His heart is not yet calm, if it has not met his father. I don't know what the feeling is, but he's really feeling really anxious. Instantly he fell asleep on the way, dreaming of meeting his father and seeing his smile that was so radiant. The deg! Azizah was shocked when Jerry's hand patted her on the shoulder, waking her asleep with a dream that gave her a sign.

"Bun, wakeup! I'm gonna get there." Jerry woke Azizah.

"Eh .. Yes, well," said Azizah.

Arriving at the airport, Azizah, Jerry and Rafael head straight to the hospital, where his father is being treated. Azizah's parents-in-law and Jerry's sisters didn't come, they went straight home. Racing in traffic, Azizah was so worried. Never did he feel this deep feeling of fear. The dream while on the plane added to the turmoil of his heart.

Arriving at the hospital, Azizah went straight to the room where her father was, who had been informed by Mamah Azizah. When entering the room, there were many nurses and two doctors at his father's place. Looked at the medical team, trying to save the father. However, fate says another line reads indicating Azizah's father is dead. The doctor announced the hour of his death.

Azizah's cry broke, she ran towards her father's lifeless body again. The word Sorry was repeatedly uttered Azizah, screaming hysterically begging her father to open his eyes. Jerry tried to calm his wife. Azizah cried in Jerry's arms, shedding all her regrets. He was unable to speak anymore, seeing the father's already cooling body. She had a faint smile on her aunt, as if pleased with Azizah's arrival.

If time could be replayed, I'd come to apologize. I'm sorry, Dad. This self is not a filial child.

Regrets came over and over, he also did not have time to apologize directly to his father. Azizah was heartbroken when she remembered her mistake. His father's request that Azizah go home made him regret it. Then Aisyah approached her brother who was staring at the father.

"When you've just come home, where did you go from yesterday?" chirp Aisyah with a cynical look.

Azizah was silent, unable to answer her sister's questions. He was guilty all this time not to go home just because of selfishness in him. The fear of his father who did not approve of his marriage to Jerry, that's what Azizah always had in mind. He also could not tell that his religion was different. It was very difficult for him. So heavy the trials of life that he lived it.

Azizah's brother approached them.

"Zizah, said Father, he has forgiven all your wrongdoings and has approved your marriage to your husband. Those were the last words he said," Azizah's sister told him.

Azizah could only cry at her brother's words. A thousand regrets in his chest, as if limp helplessly. If it wasn't too late, he might have heard the word 'forgive' from Dad's mouth. However, he heard a passing from his brother. The heart of the broken pierced into a fragile body cavity, like a splint that scratched Azizah's heart.
