Married for Slander

Chapter 22.

Erni shed tears watching Azzam's head wrapped in bandages. Luckily, there were no serious injuries to the poor man.

With heavy steps, Erni braved herself upright on the side of the gurney and rubbed the head of Azzam.

"What the hell? Don't grab!" ketus Azzam while brushing Erni's hand.

The woman gasped with blood pouring down, she did not expect Azzam's hatred for her to be ingrained like this.

"Azzam.." snapped Kurniawan who did not like to see the way Azzam treated his wife.

"Go, I don't need you two!" azzam kicked the poor parents out.

Azzam felt the attention they gave was only a feeling of pity, he never got affection after the departure of his mother at that time.

Actually not not not not feeling, but Azzam himself who chose to isolate themselves without giving them a chance to explain.

Every time Erni and Kurniawan wanted to tell a story, Azzam would never listen. He always dodged because of the hatred that had accumulated in his heart.

"Come, we better just go home, there's no point in talking to this stubborn kid!" invite Kurniawan while reaching for Erni's wrist, he was angry to see Azzam's attitude that was becoming more and more.

"No Mas, let me be here first, I want to be with Azzam and take care of him." Erni shakes a weak shudder, she does not want to leave Azzam in this state.

It didn't matter if Azzam thought of him as an enemy, he just wanted to keep his son.

Azzam who was still in a weakened state then turned his face away and closed his eyes slowly, sleeping might be able to calm his heart for a while.

After Azzam completely fell asleep, Erni pulled out a chair and sat down while holding her son's hand. He also endlessly kissed the hand, showing how dear and longing he was to the dissident man.

In the apartment, Alana feels lonely all alone. Several times he appeared to go in and out of the room just to make sure Azzam would come home.

Alana believes Azzam must have returned after successfully calming down. Azzam was just an emotion so subconsciously said what he should not have said.

However, tonight Alana must be willing to swallow disappointment because Azzam did not go home at all.

Is Azzam really mad at her? Was Azzam so jealous that he didn't give Alana a chance to explain?

Alana doesn't mean to hurt her husband, she doesn't know why she met him in the past. Alana had almost forgotten about the man.

Four years ago, Alana did have a relationship with Rizal, she also did not deny the fact.

But life goes on, Alana never takes seriously the words of Rizal who said he would return after completing his studies.

At that time Alana thought their relationship was only limited to monkey love in her teens, she was very young when Rizal left the capital.

But who would have thought that Rizal would keep his promise, he actually came back in an established state.

Alana is no longer the teenage girl Rizal once loved. Alana is married despite being equally forced.

...****************...

In the morning, Alana was already getting ready in neat clothes. He had already decided to come to the office, he was sure Azzam was in the company.

But when he arrived at the office, Alana actually heard the news that she did not want to hear. All the company's staff were aware of the accident, including Ira, who is currently assigned to handle Azzam's work.

Ira then told Alana everything, but the girl sat down after hearing Ira's statement.

Before the woman finished speaking, Alana immediately ran away from the company. He believes the accident happened because of him, Azzam was too jealous so not focused while driving.

Not long after, a taxi stopped right in front of the hospital gate. Alana rushed into the building shortly after paying the fare.

Inside there, Alana's head crabbed combing every corner caught by her neutrals. His feet were trembling thinking about the state of Azzam that was somehow at the moment.

Then Alana decided to ask the sisters on duty. After getting the information, Alana immediately ran towards the Azzam room.

Braaks...

Azzam who was still lying on top of the gurney was shocked and turned his neck towards the door.

Alana looked at Azzam with a misty look, while Azzam seemed agitated and immediately threw away his face.

"What the fuck? Why didn't you tell me about the accident?" berang Alana then swung her legs with a giant step.

Alana shed tears, while Azzam tried hard not to get carried away. He just kept quiet without daring to look Alana in the face.

After Alana stood beside the gurney, Azzam closed his eyes slowly. He could not see his wife's face.

"Why do this to me? What's on your mind? I'm your wife, I have every right to know anything about you." - sergeant Alana clutched the collar of the hospital clothes attached to Azzam's body.

Again Azzam just silent without daring to open his eyes, his chest feels pain like scratched dagger.

What's he supposed to say? He could even go crazy whenever he thought of Alana.

"I hate you, Azzam. You're evil, you're a liar." - Alana, then dropped her head on her husband's chest, she cried regretting the attitude of Azzam who thought it did not exist.

Azzam opened his eyes slowly, his hands moving wanting to hug Alana but the events of yesterday again flashed in his memory.

Azzam felt pain, why was he so entangled so deeply? Why did love grow in his heart?

"I'm sorry, Azzam. I never betrayed you, nor do I know why that man suddenly appeared and hugged me. I swear, I-I"

Alana's words immediately stopped as Azzam held her tightly and kissed her head. "Enough, don't talk anymore!"

"Huu... I hate you, you're so mean." sobs Alana in Azzam's chest.

"Yes, I know that." Azzam nodded his tears as he rubbed Alana's head.

I don't know, Azzam doesn't know what else to do. He was happy to see Alana coming to see him, but he was also sad because Alana's heart was already owned by another man.

Azzam was not angry, he was just disappointed in himself. Why did she fall in love with Alana? Should Azzam not need to have those feelings, now he was self-destructed due to unrequited feelings.

"Who told you about my whereabouts?" azzam asked to distract his wife.

Alana kept her head away from Azzam's chest and swept her face away from the remains of the falling tears. "I was in the office, Ma'am Ira told me."

Azzam frowned. "What to the office for? He said he doesn't want to work anymore?"

"Why still ask? Of course I came to look for you, you didn't come home all night." Alana said with a deadly look.

Hearing that, Azzam's lip line slightly raised forming a thin smile. "Why look for me?"

"Because I want to kill you, satisfied!" ketus Alana with teeth chattering, want to feel like she strangled Azzam to death so not strong to hold the frustration in his heart.

"Yes, let's do it!" Azzam turned himself over to Alana.

Teg's...

"Bydid..."

Azzam grimaced in pain as Alana hit his leg which was still wrapped in bandages.

Instead of feeling guilty, Alana smiled triumphantly. "Hows it? Yummy, right? Want again?"

"sickness, Al. If you want to kill me, don't take it, just use a knife!" pinta Azzam with reddened eyes.

"Good idea, I'll reconsider." Alana carved out a smile that made Azzam's heart melt like ice cream.

"Oh my God, this woman is really testing my faith. Did I just eat him so he wouldn't run away from me?" the Inner Azzam gripped Alana without a blink.
