My love is blocked by your throne

16. Hope is still together.

"Dad," the more tightly Aura hugged Lukman's body, the more tears she had shed. And the more gently Lukman patted his already shaken daughter's shoulder withholding sobs.

"Sorry father," said Aura many times between her sobs. "I'm sorry I should always be around you,

I'm sorry because I'm dad until I get sick,"

The aura spilled out all of his pent-up feelings

since the trip to the hospital.

Lukman lifted Aura's head and recalled his tears, "Don't always apologize son, Aura is not wrong, the father is too happy with your marriage to forget to rest a lot,"

Lukman said softly while staring at the gentle Aura.

Back Aura hugged the father with affection.

According to Aunt Husna his sister Lukman who has often helped take care of Lukman's needs while Aura worked. Lukman collapsed after coming to take care of the completeness of letters from KUA, related to his daughter's marriage. During this time Lukman was too eager to take care of all the needs of Aura's marriage, even though many of his nephews are Aura's cousins who offer services to help, he said, but Lukman insisted doing it himself on the grounds it was his responsibility to get his only daughter married.

Lukman, who had a history of heart disease, had to be rushed to the hospital for intensive treatment. But now his condition has improved, Aura can breathe a sigh of relief even though guilt still often approached him every time he saw the condition of the father.

Hearing the door open from the outside, and seeing Lukman smiling towards someone who came, Aura immediately wiped her tears and turned to see who was visiting.

Degg

Looking at the figure of the man, his heart beating like a pump faster, there was clearly shock on Aura's face, while the man smiled gently at her.

"Dik Aura has come?"

I said, without letting go of a smile. Aura just nodded stiffly, she was still speacleesh seeing that man was here as well right now.

"Where's Akhtar from?" ask Lukman.

"I pray 'ashar in musholla, father." replied Akhtar as he walked over and sat down next to him.

"Is it still tight, dad?" he asked attentively.

"Since Aura suddenly came and hugged my father, the feeling of his wheezing was gone, son," Lukman replied in a jubilant manner.

"Alhamdulillah, that's a sign that I miss Dik Aura,"

sahut Akhtar while throwing a smile at Aura who was still silent.

"Sir Akhtar is here too?" asked Aura when the two went hand in hand to the hospital musholla, Akhtar asked Lukman's permission to take Aura to perform Ashar prayers.

"Yes." Akhtar nodded. "I'm here from yesterday"

"So you know when you fainted?"

"I arrived at my father's house, about an hour after my father was taken to the hospital,"

Aura was about to ask again, but their steps were now on the terrace of the musholla.

"Dik Aura pray first, brother wait here yes,"

Aura menagngguk and soon passed to take ablution first before performing his prayer.

"Sister, I'm sorry, for all the things that have happened," Aura was finally able to say the word that had been strung into her brain since before performing the prayer just now. Until now Akhtar invited her to eat at a restaurant in front of the hospital, the girl could not enjoy her food with pleasure because of the burden of the mind that still hung in her head.

A series of question marks neatly lined up in Aura over Aktar's whereabouts in this hospital as well. Akhtar's attitude which also looks ordinary and even remains friendly and gentle also adds to the row of questions in him.

Though two days earlier, in their relationship via telfhon, Akhtar seemed to limit communication, he only spoke as necessary, and no more sweet words that he usually inserted in each chat as usual.

Akhtar stopped eating him over Aura's words,

he looked at the beautiful girl who had been adored secretly from the same time in the boarding school for a long time. "I'm the one who should apologize to you, because I suspected you without trying to tabayyun first,"

For whatever sake, Aura felt that Akhtar's speech was like a well of water in the middle of his soul which was dry because of the misunderstanding that occurred between the two. Even on the way home, a bad thought occurred in Aura, if her father had a heart attack because Akhtar had canceled their wedding plans, until the girl was incessantly shedding tears because of the guilt that so much entangled her feelings.

But after hearing Bi Husna's explanation regarding the collapse of his father, Aura breathed a sigh of relief many times with a spill of gratitude because everything that was presented did not happen, he said, although it does not rule out the possibility that Akhtar will actually cancel their marriage because in the value of the tone of his speech in the telfhon that has changed not just one hundred and eighty degrees.

It turned out that Akhtar was also in the hospital, taking care of and paying great attention to Lukman, not only that he also remained gentle to Aura, he said, and lastly what he said just soared a sense of relief in Aura for the umpteenth time.

"Sister, for all those events, I can explain," Aura said steadily, because now he has a witness who can certainly be asked for his testimony that nothing happened between him and Damaresh that night.

"Yes." Akhtar nodded. "And I'm ready to listen because that's what I really hope for,"

"But not now, you know, we focus first on the recovery of the father" Akhtar suggested later.

Aura nods, because for now Lukman's health is a priority.

"Akhtar's not mad at me?" Aura asked timidly.

"Insha-Allah no longer," Aktar accompanied the gentle smile in his speech, making Aura yaqin that the man was fine. There is hope to continue together which is scattered in the eyes of both of them.

Akhtar was angry and even angry

also burning jealous fire that almost broke his mind, but then he realized that it was not wise to immediately decide that Aura was guilty without clear evidence.

Iapun decided to follow Aura to Jakarta without telling the girl to know the truth more clearly. Akhtar then visited Lukman to request Aura's contract address there. But who would have thought he actually found out that Lukman was rushed to the hospital due to a mild heart attack.

And when he met Aura at this hospital, all the anger he felt so far evaporated just like that in addition to his belief that his future wife was innocent, although there is still one side in him that still demands an explanation.

The two left the restaurant in front of the hospital after completing payment for the food they ate. Then we went back to Lukman's treatment room.

"Sir Akhtar will still be here?" aura asked as soon as the two had been sitting on the chair in Lukman's nursery room, her father himself seemed to be asleep.

"La. I'll take care of my dad too, he's my dad too, right?"

Aura smiled happily at it.

"Thank you, my future priest," Aura said sincerely.

"sama-young prospective ma'mumku," Akhtar replied sincerely.

The two held together their views in the same hope. Hope to stay together forever.
