Single-minded

Fainted

A week passed after Vira's departure. A dark family home without any affection. No more smiles and warmth. The usual dining table is full of family members. Now empty uninhabited, with no one occupying. If breakfast used to be a gathering time. Breakfast is a time of separation.

Azzam never ate with his family again. Even thinking of eating, Azzam never. Only a cup of coffee accompanies the heart-day of Azzam without Vira. No longer does Azzam care about his condition. Azzam didn't want to live, if Vira wasn't there. Azzam changed 180°, no more handsome and dashing Azzam.

In just a week, Azzam looks skinny unkempt. Both of his eyes were slightly swollen. Azzam always sleeps late at night. He could have spent a few cups of coffee overnight. Azzam no longer cared about his life. He spends his time working, forgetting to eat and rest. Azzam was afraid to think of Vira when she was unemployed. Azzam was afraid that he could not control himself and ended up injuring himself. Azzam still remembered Vira's anger, when he saw Azzam hurt his hand. Azzam did not want to disappoint Vira.

TOK TOK TOK.

"Azzam!" melda shouted, knocking on the door of Azzam's room.

No sound was heard from Azzam's room. For a week Melda tried to understand Azzam. He did not force Azzam to forget Vira or to rise from his fall. Melda deliberately let Azzam dissolve in her grief. Melda did not want to force Azzam to forget his sadness.

At least by letting Azzam alone. It will make Azzam understand the meaning of pain. But after a week, Azzam's attitude did not change. Melda began to worry about Azzam's condition. Melda initially thought Azzam would improve after a week. But his guess missed, Azzam did not change even more destroyed.

"Azzam dear, please open the door. Mama brought you breakfast on purpose. You'll be in the office soon!" melda said kindly, again and again there was no sound from inside Azzam's room. Melda put her ear on the door of Azzam's room. But the result was the same, no sound was heard.

Melda walked towards the table near Azzam's room. Melda put the tray on the table. Then we went closer to Azzam's room. Melda tried to knock back. But the result was the same, Azzam did not heed Melda's call.

DORR DORR DORR DORR

Melda banged on Azzam's bedroom door. Melda is getting anxious thinking about Azzam's condition. Melda was afraid something might happen to Azzam. Melda's screams rang out all the way downstairs. Angga has not yet left for the office. Fariz chose to stay at his friend's house. Since Angga slapped Vira. Fariz was angry about Angga's inappropriate attitude. Fariz came home in the morning, only to change clothes and pick up a book.

"What happened to Azzam?" angga said worriedly, Melda shook her head not understanding Azzam's condition. Angga tried to break down the door of Azzam's room. But all that is free, Azzam room is equipped with a key that is not easy to open.

"Azzam, mama beg of you. Open the door now, let Mama in!" shouted Melda, Angga tried to shake the door of Azzam's room. I hope Azzam opens the door to his room. At least Azzam shouted Melda.

Ever since that night, Azzam never talked to Angga. Every time he met, Azzam chose to avoid. Azzam never sat at a table. Angga not only lost Azzam's smile. Angga lost his proud son. Azzam no longer cares about the existence of Angga. For Azzam, he now lives alone. Without Vira or her family.

"Fariz!" call Melda, Fariz turned his head for a moment. Then it passed without thinking, approaching Azzam's room.

Fariz doesn't care what happens to Azzam. Fariz was disappointed in Azzam, because he received inappropriate treatment. Angga's rough hands slapped Vira's cheeks. Without Azzam, you can prevent it. Fariz felt sick, seeing Vira's tears. Tears that fall, none other than the arrogance of Angga Atmaja.

"Fariz, mama called you. Why do you even ignore it? You don't see your mother's tears. He's worried about your brother's condition. You are relaxed and don't care!" angga said emotionlessly, Fariz smiled faintly. He found Angga's words very funny. What's going on right now? None other than his arrogant attitude. Therefore Fariz did not want to interfere with the affairs of Angga and Azzam.

Melda was enslaved to her other son Fariz. Melda hoped Fariz would help her. Melda's tears continued to drip unstoppably. Anxiety for Azzam's condition, filled his mind. Melda was no longer able to stand up, her body felt weak.

"Free mom begging, I can't help anything? Azzam's room has a double lock. Only he and Vira know his pin number. I'm sorry Fariz, there's nothing we can do!" fariz said softly, Melda was crying non-stop. Angga bowed lethargicly staring at his beloved wife shattered.

Bruukkk

Melda fell to the ground. Anxiety about Azzam's condition makes his bones shattered. Melda's strength seemed to disappear, changing fear so great. The fear of a mother who does not want something to happen to her son.

"Melda!"

"Mama!" fariz shouted, as Fariz supported Melda's body. Fariz was stunned to see Melda's body fall into his arms. Fariz sustained Melda's weak body. The first time Fariz saw the fragile Melda. Melda has always been strong, especially in front of Azzam and Fariz.

"Fariz, take care of your brother. He needs you!" melda said weakly and stammered. Not long after, Melda collapsed. Fariz carried Melda's weak body towards her room.

Angga called the family doctor. She watched Melda fall unconscious. Melda who had been strong and destroyed before her eyes. Fariz tried to wake Melda up. He rubbed the wind oil. Hopefully Melda realized, but his efforts failed. Melda's body grew colder, Melda's face began to look pale.

"Congratulations papa, all of papa's plans worked. Papa had broken many hearts with a single slap. Papa is unconscious, one slap on Vira. Three bodies felt the pain. Papa was too arrogant until finally papa was blind. There are many hearts broken with papa's inappropriate attitude!"

"What do you mean Fariz? Why is papa wrong?" sahut Angga defended himself. Fariz smiled cynically at the words of Angga.

"Vira, papa managed to kill Vira. But without realizing it has lost two sons of your pride. Azzam chose to be destroyed without Vira. I chose to stay away from this heartless family. Right in front of your eyes. Mama got sick thinking about her two sons who were drifting away!" said Fariz cynically, Angga inflamed. He was angry to hear Fariz's words as if to blame him.

"You talk Fariz!" yelled Angga, raising his hand to slap Fariz.

"Slap pa, slap me. So I can feel the pain of papa's slap on Vira. Continue to be proud of your wealth, until you lose your son!" fariz said defiantly, Angga lowered his hand. The dog sat right next to Melda. Angga felt Melda's body cold. Without feeling Angga shed tears.

"Give Vira back, only she can bring back the smile in this house!" fariz said coldly, then walked out of Melda's room.

"Should I ask him back. I'm not going to pay attention to that ART kid. She's just a lowly woman. I don't deserve to be with her!" inner Angga cynical.
