Karma 2 (Najwa Humaira)

Chapter 12: Abil Vs Azzam

Love is only one word but a million meanings. The phrase is right just that not all love becomes a blessing because there is a love blanketed obsession. The desire to have a high so ready to sacrifice whatever is around him. The problem will always be the same and cannot be tolerated.

Like the love of the woman, she is hoping for a chance to meet the idol of the heart. In fact, that desire is only a memory. As if everything no longer applies because reality is definitely a farewell without the last greeting. What the hell's going on? The memories of the past simply disappear.

But now slowly the memory began to vaguely be able to remember it again. Although sometimes only the shadow faded, but there was something strange with him. Inside the head is precisely the memory of others who control the brain even the entire phase of life recorded very clearly. All memories include the demon conqueror's spell.

If he mastered many spells, but the heart rejected the taste, the mind cornered emotions, and actions were filled with selfishness. Who is trying to control his body? He realized that he had become a puppet played by someone. But one fact he cannot deny is the ignorance of the mastermind behind the screen.

The reflection of the woman only she knew. The pain in both palms due to the dagger scratches did not hurt as much because the more pain was in his heart. The wound that was hiding looked good, but it was bleeding colorless. The rest of the night was just the sound of long breaths.

Five o'clock in the morning indicates that time has changed. The sound of simultaneous greetings was heard from the worship room. Today Abil became a prayer imam on the grounds of longing for the atmosphere of congregational prayer like in Cairo. The young man wanted to enjoy time with family as much as possible to the immeasurable. It's only natural because it's been years apart.

"Laughter, Emir, did you guys go to school today?" abil asked after the prayer session ended, then he turned to face the back where the two housewives and his nephew joined the congregational prayer.

Najwa stopped folding his face, If Abi allows it, then I leave for school. Looks like Abi's still mad at my rejection last night." The girl lowered her head feeling guilty for her overly presumptuous attitude.

How not to feel that way? Overnight debate that became a ban on his good intentions who wanted to help Danyang from Abi. He refused without thinking twice. Well, his promise can't be broken then instead against a father's decision. While consciousness is still grasped without a doubt.

"Let's not angry, son. Try to understand the anxiety of his heart! Which father would let his two children face big problems? He can only hold hands. Mommy memorizes the habit of your father that only takes time to reflect, before making the final decision."

This time his feelings were hesitant to defend and put forward who. In the face of the love between husband and child, none can be justified let alone doubted. However, he realized that Najwa's refusal was enough to offend Azzam as a father.

Her husband always tried his best to protect the family, so Najwa consciously broke through the guardrail prepared for a father's defense. Of course it hurts, but rather cancels the responsibility that exists. Now all that can be done is to be patient with the hope that their family does not part ways.

Likewise with Najwa who was pensive due to the mother's speech. He admitted that his words did hurt and were not even justified, only that a promise had been made. Where whatever happens, he also contributed to freeing the land that became a school building so that it can be used as a shelter for humans.

"Ka Bella, where's Ka Azzam? I'll talk to him." Abil got up from the seat, then took off the peci and restored his hair.

"In the library room, you bring him coffee, yeah, De! Brother will make it now. You two go back to the room first" replied Bella as she let go of her face. This time he was left hanging where it was available.

One by one, leave the prayer room, then do the morning routine as it should. Likewise with Abil who wants to try to persuade his brother-in-law. As a fellow adult man, it will certainly have differences and also similarities in viewpoints. But each other must be trying to find a solution to the existing problem.

"Waalaikumsalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, enter aja, De. Don't forget to close the door!" azzam replied without shifting his position, let alone turning his head back.

As requested by my sister-in-law. Abil stepped foot into the library room, then did not forget to close the door and even lock from the inside. He did so that none of the other family members eavesdropped, then handed him a cup of coffee that still reflected white smoke for the brother. Then he sat down by pulling another wooden chair in the room.

For a moment only heard the sound of delicious coffee that gives a calm and vibrant effect again. Moreover, accompanied by the rising of the sun that shows the majesty of creating the Almighty. Which enjoyments can humans deny? Every breath should be enough to awaken man to remain grateful for God's gift to His servant.

"De, do you want to be quiet or just talk to the point?" Azzam put his coffee cup on a mini table that is used as a reading book, then he glanced at Abil.

The sister-in-law who grew very well, even though the change was too significant. His memory still falls on Abil's childhood with an innocent face fighting for the safety of the family. He admitted that the young man was firm and had confidence and courage that deserved to be admired. From the beginning he salut saw the sacrifice of a sister who was able to become a wound medicine for his beloved brother.

Abil only smiled thinly with reluctant eyes to return the glance of the brother-in-law's eyes. "Are my questions enough to change your decision, Ka Azzam? I think we both know that's impossible, but that doesn't mean I agree with you or oppose my brother's own beliefs."

"Abil, we're both adults and a man. Speak without having to keep asking questions, as well as we understand each other then still need certainty. Isn't that right, De?" sahut Azzam made things clear as his condition did not want to guess the riddle of his sister-in-law.

Azzam was too tired. Is it because over the years it has been so focused on the family that it seems more reserved? Whereas during the separation due to differences in countries, one man was intensely giving advice and always reminded many things through a personal mobile phone. The two are close to supporting each other.

"Ka, Najwa was Ka Bella's version as a teenager. We both know that a woman's heart is very soft. So also with the problem of the present, where we are aware all concerned with the past. Does Ka Azzam want to forget the fact that DIA's gemstone is beating in my nephew's heart?

"Yes, Ka. I know that Najwa's body is shrouded in the aura of a gemstone that can provide great power to supernatural beings. Strange, but real because everything we thought was over. Reality says something else. Did you know that there was another aura trying to protect Wawa?" abil asked, then turned his attention to look at Azzam seriously.

I don't know what his sister-in-law means, but if you already know about the first stone in Najwa's body. So it only means one thing that Abil uses his inner eye to investigate everything that intersects with both realms. The young man had a solution that could be considered. Could it?

"Ka Azzam, the nature of the two realms is still opposite, but not hostile. Resistance is because every creature feels entitled to its own. The prince's red gem is a treasure of the supernatural realm, but to man is misfortune. Here Najwa has energy that can be said to be mixed. You know what I mean, right?" abil's question ended the explanation that his brother-in-law had to understand.

The sound of a soft, rough breath spilling the weight of the heart that felt so heavy, "Tell me what should I do? One solution that does not defy the conscience of a father and as a husband. The responsibilities of both relationships should not be neglected."

Azzam resigned, not because he did not have the determination. But humans must realize that the advice and guidance of the path of destiny can go through anyone and in unexpected ways. Moreover, the family is there to support each other and share support. There was gratitude for Abil coming home at the right time.

"Let Najwa fulfill his promise to begin the life destiny struggle that God has laid out for the daughter of this house, remember that we are with her. Instead, I promise to be the shield for the most beautiful nephew in the whole world." said Abil steady wholeheartedly, making Azzam close his eyes enjoying a warm sizzle that raced as a heartbeat.
