LOVE STORY OF AZZAHRA

Lucky to Have You

Gavin was busy watching Azzahra who was asleep with his body tilted to the left. He played the beautiful woman's hair child who grew around Azzahra's forehead.

Gavin felt that he felt lucky to be reunited with a simple woman like Azzahra. Even though she is so innocent, she loves her so much.

Ddrrtt

Gavin immediately rushes to retrieve his phone and it turns out that Rizal is the one who is currently contacting him.

" Hello, how's Mr Rizal? Is there any new development?" gavin asked as he picked up the incoming call on his phone.

" Good day, Mr. Gavin. Sorry to interrupt the time. I just want to inform if the main perpetrator of the attack on Mr. Gavin has been successfully paralysed, but his partner managed to escape." Rizal.

" That Mr. Rizal means ... Grace is this caught?" Gavin tries to clarify Rizal's words.

" Right, Mr. Gavin. But he's currently in hospital because his partner has betrayed Miss Grace's neck to allow her to escape from us." Rizal.

" Grace got hurt because of her partner? How is he doing now? What severe?" Although Grace had hurt him, Gavin was still worried about hearing Rizal's words saying that Grace was hurt.

" Miss Grace is already in treatment, thankfully the weapon didn't hit her pulse." Rizal informed Grace of her current condition.

" Thank God, then." Gavin breathed a sigh of relief knowing Grace could be saved because after all he could not bear to see Grace until she got hurt.

" Did Mr Rizal tell Dad David?" ask Gavin later.

" Already, Sir. Om David asked me to inform you immediately" said Rizal.

" All right, Mr. Rizal. Thanks for the information. Oh yes, Mr. Rizal. Can I visit Grace?" ask Gavin later.

" Of course, sir. I'll share the hospital location and the hospital room."

" Thank you, Mr. Rizal."

" Together, Mr. Gavin."

Gavin ends his phone conversation with Rizal.

" Excuse me, Sir. Sir outside is Mrs Agatha. He insisted on meeting Mr. David." Mary who entered the room of Dad David reported the arrival of Agatha.

" What's he doing here?" Dad David frowned.

" I don't know, sir." Maria answered the boss's question.

" All right, get him in. And please prepare security in case the woman makes a scene in this place, Maria!" dad David's orders to Maria.

" Good, sir." Maria then walked out of Dad David's room.

A few minutes later, Maria brought Agatha into Dad David's room.

" Good morning, Mr. David." Agatha greets Dad David as he walks into Dad David's room.

" Come in, Madame Agatha." Dad David remained friendly allowing Agatha to sit on the sofa in his room.

" What need do you need to meet me, Mrs Agatha?" ask Dad David to the woman who had been his daughter-in-law.

" Mister David, I beg you to release my son Grace. I know what my son is doing is dangerous, but trust me, sir. All because of the bad influence of his friend. So I beg you to retract the assault case." Agatha submitted her request to Dad David to release Grace from the legal bondage that befell her son.

Dad David took a deep breath. Ever since she became Gavin's wife, Dad David has disliked Agatha. Dad David was even surprised to learn that Gavin was married to a woman who was almost the same age as his own Mommy. Especially when he found out that Agatha had spread bad news in the neighborhood where Azzahra's parents lived, until the last incident of the attack on Gavin, making his sense of regret for women who are the same age as his wife is now getting stronger.

" Do you know what your daughter has done has put three lives at risk at once, Madam? My son, my son-in-law and my future grandchildren!" Dad David stared with cold eyes.

" I know, Sir. My son has gone the wrong way. He was injured and nearly killed by his male friend. So I plead for my son's release, I promise to watch over my son so as not to do anything bad to your family again, Mr. David." Agatha kept begging.

" You said your son almost died? Don't you think my son would have died at your son's hands if no one had helped him that night!" Dad David could not cover his sense of regret because Agatha who seemed to play the playing victim.

Agatha swallowed her saliva. What Dad David said is true.

" But I beg you, sir. I beg for the generosity of Mr. David. Grace is my only child. I don't want him to be more devastated if he has to be in jail." Agatha sobbed as she said that sentence.

" I don't know what you've instilled in your son about Gavin, so he hates him so much that he almost harms him!"

" I still don't understand why Amanda gave her child to a woman like you, Mrs Agatha." Dad David regretted the decision by his ex-wife to marry Gavin to Agatha.

" Mister David, I beg ..." Agatha dropped to her knees beside Dad David to make Dad David wide.

" Mrs, what's that doing? You don't have to kneel to me! What your child does is a criminal act, he must take responsibility for his actions in order to have a deterrent effect on him." Dad David doesn't care what Agatha does.

" Mister David, please .. I beg you to forgive my son, sir. You may punish him but please don't imprison, Grace. Don't take him to the law, sir." Agatha was crying harder. She really felt devastated over what was happening with her daughter right now.

" I'll visit him at the hospital, Dad. I wonder how he is doing right now."

Azzahra heard her husband talking on the phone who seemed to be talking to Dad David as he came out of the bathroom.

Azzahra increasingly scrunched her forehead hearing the name Agatha mentioned in the conversation between her husband and father-in-law.

" Alright, Dad. Yes, I'll be careful, Assalamualaikum ...."

" Who's in the hospital, brother?" Azzahra hurriedly asked as her husband ended the phone conversation with Dad David.

Gavin was aghast when he noticed his wife's presence when he finished talking to Dad David on the phone. Because today Gavin still has no activity to the office on the orders of Dad David who told him to rest first at home.

" Honey ..." Gavin immediately grabbed his wife's shoulder.

" Who's sick? Who wants Gavin's brother to look up? What is Madame Agatha?" Azzahra guessed because she had heard her husband mention Agatha's name.

" Hmmm, here I explain." Gavin brought Azzahra to sit by the bed.

" After investigation by Mr. Rizal, it turns out that the perpetrator of the attack on us yesterday was Grace, she's the son of Agatha."

Azzahra immediately widened while opening his mouth wide.

" Athaghfirullahal adzim, a-his son Lady Agatha?"

" Yes." Yeah." Gavin nodded his head.

" O Allah, then why did he attack Brother Gavin? Is she feeling hurt because Gavin's sister divorced Mrs Agatha?" Azzahra was completely unconcerned by what she had heard from her husband.

" Yes it seems so. I don't know where that hatred came from. Because we hardly ever met. I only met her when she was fifteen about four years ago." Gavin explained to Azzahra.

" Four years ago? Now he's nineteen, brother? O Allah as young as that has been misguided, to the point of committing crimes and even harming others." Azzahra was very concerned about what Grace was going through.

" You're right, Honey. Young people have made a terrible mistake." Gavin took a long breath.

" You know, Honey ... Dad David said that Agatha came to Dad's office ...."

" Why did Lady Agatha come to Papa's office, sister?" azzahra asked curiously until she cut out her husband's sentence.

" To ask me to come back to him so that his son will not take revenge on me anymore." Gavin joked to the point of making Azzahra's eyes glare.

" Sir ...!" Azzahra hit Gavin's arm because she knew that her husband was teasing her.

Gavin chuckled at Azzahra's perfectly rounded eyes.

" Agatha pleaded with Dad to retract the matter regarding the attack. She begs to her knees and cries in front of Dad David, asking that Dad forgive and release Grace."

Azzahra again surprised to know an Agatha who at first glance he knew as a proud and stubborn figure must be willing to humble himself kneeling in front of the Father-in-law of Azzahra.

" Mrs Agatha to her knees, sister?" Azzahra still does not believe.

" Yes, anything a mother would do to help her child even if it was clearly wrong. Although the case is different, but you can see, Honey. What Agatha does is an example. Agatha lowered her self-esteem and threw away her shame to save her son. A mother's instinct will not be willing to see her child suffer. I myself did not expect Agatha to be willing to do such a thing to help Grace. So great is the sacrifice of a mother to her child." Gavin stroked Azzahra's long hair.

" Yes, Brother. I understand and I promise not to disappoint Umi!" Azzahra.

" Yes, I want to get ready now." Gavin then got up to change clothes.

" I'm coming, brother." Azzahra rose up after her husband.

" Honey, you better stay home. You better get some rest here or you'll have a chat with Aunt Linda."

" I don't want to, I want to go with Gavin! I also want to meet Grace, I want to talk to her, sister!" Azzahra insisted on wanting to stay.

" What do you want to talk to him about, Honey? What's for?" Gavin scrunched his forehead.

" I want him to not misunderstand Gavin. I wanted to tell her if my husband is a good man, not what he thinks. So that he can forget his hatred and resentment towards Brother Gavin." Azzahra's determination.

Gavin looked at his wife.

" Thank you, Honey. You won an amazing wife. I'm lucky to have you. But you don't need to be like that. One of Grace's associates managed to escape and is still at large. I'm afraid the guy who turned out to be her boyfriend is going to hang around there to get back to harming Grace." Gavin expressed his worry.

" Hurt Grace? Meaning, Brother?" Azzahra did not understand Gavin's words.

" Grace's girlfriend slashed Grace's neck so she could escape the ambush carried out by Mr. Rizal and Mr. Vito." Gavin explains what he heard from Rizal.

" Grace betrayed her boyfriend? Oh, my God, what a pity. But I want to stay, brother! I want to cheer Grace up. I know for sure it feels sad to be betrayed by the person he loves ...."

Gavin looked at his wife and asked, "Honey, you're not confiding, are you?"
