LOVE STORY OF AZZAHRA

Azzahra Offers

" Mr. Rizal." Gavin calls Rizal's name when the thirty-eight-year-old is sitting and focusing on his phone in the waiting chair of Grace's nursery.

" Oh, Mr. Gavin." Rizal immediately got up from his seat and greeted Gavin who was then coming with Azzahra because his wife forced to come to visit Grace.

" Mr Azzahra ..." Rizal also greeted Azzahra.

" Assalamualaikum, Mr. Rizal." Azzahra said hello to Rizal.

" Waalaikumsalam, Mrs Azzahra." Rizal answered the greeting Azzahra said.

" What about Grace?" ask Gavin later.

" He's inside, sir. There's Mrs Agatha visiting." Rizal explains that Agatha is seeing her daughter.

" Agatha?" Gavin and Azzahra looked at each other and Azzahra tightened her arms and grabbed her husband's arm, causing Gavin to clap his wife's hand and ask her not to worry.

" I want to talk to Agatha, Mr. Rizal." Gavin asks Mr. Rizal to meet him with Agatha.

" Oh, please, sir. I'll call you for a minute." Rizal then passes from the front of Gavin and Azzahra and enters Grace's ward.

" Sister, does Gavin want to talk to Mrs Agatha?" azzahra asked because she was still worried and somewhat afraid of dealing with her husband's ex-wife.

" You don't have to worry, Honey. Just wanted to talk about Grace." Gavin tries to calm his anxious wife when he finds out he is going to talk to Agatha.

" But, Brother ...."

" Gavin? Azzahras?"

Azzahra's words stopped when Agatha's voice was heard in the middle of Gavin and Azzahra's chatter.

Gavin and Azzahra found Agatha's face was sad, even her eyes looked red and swollen from crying too much.

Agatha immediately approached Gavin, causing Azzahra to retreat and hide behind her husband's body. Agatha immediately lowered her body and knelt before Gavin.

" Gavin, I beg .. please forgive Grace." Agatha said softly.

" I beg you not to imprison Grace, Gavin." Agatha's shoulders shook with tears.

Gavin stared at Agatha's concern. The figure of Agatha who had been known as a hard and intimidating figure now seemed to collapse instantly.

" Grace was just a victim because she had been mismanaged. I don't want Grace's life to be ruined, Gavin. Please me ..." Agatha continued to try to make Gavin's heart melt, because yesterday when she met Dad David, the owner of several large hotels in Indonesia, remained firm in his stance to process Grace into the legal path.

" You've heard of my Daddy's decision, haven't you? It's already final. And I agree with Dad David's decision. It's not that we're hurt by your son, Agatha. But for the law to be fully enforced and Grace to be held accountable for her actions. When he makes the decision to do something criminal he must be prepared with the risks he must bear including being caught and languishing in prison" Gavin said.

" You don't worry, Dad has asked Mr. Rizal to watch over your son" Gavin continued. Because Dad David guaranteed that, even if Grace would get punished, the girl would be taken care of by Rizal, so no one could hurt Grace. While Agatha still continued to cry at the words of Gavin who seemed to be unable to free her son from the entanglement of the law.

Azzahra who saw Agatha like that made her heart feel full. As a woman and soon to be a mother her little heart felt touched. He glanced at Grace's room. He took his hand off from Gavin's arm then walked over to Rizal who was also in the waiting room.

" Rizal sir, can I go inside?" azzahra asked Rizal.

" Please, Madam. I'll be inside." Rizal of course would not let Azzahra alone with Grace even though the girl was lying weakly on top of the gurney.

" Thank you, Mr. Rizal." Azzahra finally set foot into Grace's nursery.

Azzahra watched Grace who was lying down while staring blankly. Azzahra saw that the girl's neck was wrapped in bandages and there was also an infusion tube attached to her hand.

" Can I talk to him, Mr Rizal?" ask Azzahra later.

" Please, Madam." Rizal.

By squeezing the robe he was wearing, Azzahra approached slowly towards Grace lying down. Although with a little fear but Azzahra still ventured to get closer.

" Askellek, Grace ..." Azzahra greeted Grace until she made her face turn towards her.

Grace frowned looking at Azzahra.

" How are you doing now, Grace?" Azzahra could see Grace's sad face and puffy eyes. He had guessed it was because Grace felt sad because she was caught even more so it turned out that she was harmed by her own lover.

" Who are you?" grace asked in a soft, nanum voice with a less friendly tone.

" You don't remember me? I'm Azzahra, sister Gavin's wife." Azzahra introduced himself.

Grace's eyeballs are perfectly rounded knowing who the woman is now present in her inpatient room.

" What are you doing here?!" ketus Grace, even Azzahra can see the face of Grace who seems to not like her presence in the room.

" Asataghfirullahal adzim .. Why do you think that? I'm concerned about what happened to you." Azzahra denied what Grace had said if she was happy with the suffering the girl was going through.

" I don't need your mercy! Get the fuck out of here!" peekit Grace's. " Go ...!! Aakhsh ..." Grace then grimaced, as she screamed to make the wound on her neck hurt again.

" Oh my God, it must be because you screamed so the wound recurred, huh?" Azzahra reflexively touched Grace's right hand which was holding her neck bandage but Grace quickly brushed aside Azzahra's hand which was attached to her hand making Azzahra back a few steps back to its original position.

" Don't be so smart, you!" Grace closed her eyes withstanding the pain from the cut on her neck.

Azzahra swallowed his saliva to hear the words of a friendly tone that came out of Grace's mouth. It seemed that the girl was indeed instilling hatred towards her as well as her husband.

Rizal who saw from earlier Grace said rudely to Azzahra stepped closer towards the woman clad in khaki color.

" Mrs, you better get out. Free to talk to him. He can't accept the kindness of the Madam." Rizal asks Azzahra to immediately come out of Grace's ward because she feels women like Grace will not be easily touched by what Azzahra does.

" No, Mr. Rizal. I haven't finished talking to him. I haven't told you what I want to talk to her about." Azzahra refused Rizal's advice, telling him to leave Grace's ward immediately.

" But, Madam ...."

" I'm fine. Mr. Rizal need not worry," said Azzahra reassured Rizal.

" Alright, Madam. Rizal walked back and waited near the door while watching Azzahra and Grace.

" Grace, I don't know what's underlying you until reckless behavior nearly harmed my husband. But I'm sure if you've misjudged Brother Gavin. Maybe you hate Gavin because he divorced your Mama. But do you know why they got married for what? I don't want you to misunderstand Gavin. Gavin's a good man. He's not breng*sek's man! He's the man responsible for what he's done." Azzahra tries to open up Grace's mind to let go of her vengeful attitude towards Gavin.

" I don't need your talk! So get out of here!" Grace returns to drive Azzahra away.

" Maybe you also think that I have taken Brother Gavin from your mother, that is not true. I met with Brother Gavin while Brother Gavin was in the process of divorce with your Mama." Azzahra also insisted that no matter the expulsion Grace did to him.

" Maybe you don't know if your Mama ever influenced the people in my village by spreading rumors if Gavin's sister is a man who doesn't know himself because hitchhiking with your Mama and also says if I was a woman snatching people's husbands. Honestly, my family and Gavin's sister are very disappointed with what your mother did to us. But in the least we don't hold a grudge and hate towards your Mama."

" If you do that because you don't feel like your Mama is hurting, do you realize that this is what has hurt your Mama? That criminal act you've committed has hurt your mother, Grace!"

" Do you know, Grace? What is your mother doing right now to help you escape the punishment that will ensnare you? Mama you're kneeling in front of Brother Gavin and my Father-in-law."

Azzahra's words caused Grace to be wide-eyed while shaking her head.

" No! Mama can't do that!" shdle Grace. He was very confident that Agatha would not be able to do that.

" Just ask your mother later, are my words true." Azzahra himself did not know where he had the courage to say at length like this. Because all this time he was known as a shy figure even though he had become a teacher in Kindergarten.

" I'll help talk to my Father-in-law to set you free, as long as you promise not to harass our family again!" Azzahra made an offer.

" I don't need my help! Go then! I don't need all of you're mercy!" Grace's reddened face held back the anger and pain in her neck.

" Mrs, you better get out. It's free to talk to a stubborn woman like her, it's just a waste of your time!" Rizal who saw Grace kept saying rudely to Azzahra was annoyed.

" Yes, Mr. Rizal. I think I've talked to him enough." Azzahra turned back to Grace.

" Please think carefully about what I said. Because Mama you don't want to see you suffer in prison." Azzahra tried again to advise Grace but Grace just turned her face away.

" I'm sorry, Grace. Ariston ..." Azzahra said goodbye and said a greeting even though it was not reciprocated by Grace at all.

Azzahra finally left the room leaving Grace and Rizal. Rizal watched Azzahra until she disappeared behind the door and turned her eyes towards Grace.

" You should be lucky to meet good people like David Richard's family" Rizal told Grace.

" Don't go around advising me!" hardik Grace who does not like Rizal. Because the man who thwarted his plan that almost succeeded and Rizal was the one who finally got him caught and finally injured as he is today.

" You're right, you don't need to be pitied! Bo*doh woman who wants to be used by her lover does not need to be pitied!" rizal's insinuation made Grace's gaze now gaze with a sharp eye full of emotion towards Rizal.
