Single-minded

night truth

"Night is not good for health!" Azzam said suddenly. Azzam wears a jacket on Vira's body.

Vira turned her head, she was surprised when she saw Azzam standing right behind her. Vira was astonished, when she saw Azzam was in the same place as her. A place Azzam shouldn't go. More precisely the vast sea that is far from the hustle of the city. Especially in a quiet night. It was an unplanned meeting, but it kept such a beautiful story.

"You!" Vira said in surprise, when she saw Azzam standing right beside her.

Vira was in disbelief, when she realized. Azzam was already so close to him. Vira was really in disbelief, the man she missed in her silence. Now stand beside him. Together staring at the vast sea without limits.

"Hmmm!"

"What meda?" Vira said astonished.

"Just like you!" Azzam is relaxed. Vira was more astonished, when he realized their meeting could not happen just like that. A place long forgotten, it was still remembered by Azzam. Proof that Vira is one and everything.

"You still remember it!" Vira said softly, Azzam silently stared at the vast sea in front of him.

"Twenty years of your departure, I have never once missed this day. In myself I remember you. In the quiet I miss you. The sound of the waves is the roar of my heart that is looking for you. Is today the only day I feel alive? The day I can be a weak Azzam without your love!"

"Why did you ruin your life? I'm not a great woman. I am a woman of shortcomings. I don't deserve your eternal love!"

"Vira, don't stop me from loving you!"

"But love is wrong!"

"There is nothing wrong with love. The same word you said to Nadya!"

"That's it, there's no point arguing. I believe our love must end. Instead you wish our love was united!" Vira said, Azzam kept quiet. There is no refutation that can answer or change the mind of Vira.

Personal vira tough and firm. Nothing can make him change his mind. Azzam always loses, if dealing with Vira's decision. One reason that made him lose Vira forever.

"Mas Azzam!" Sapa Vira warm.

"Hmmm!"

"Thank you for remembering me!"

"I'll never forget you!"

"Honestly, I'm happy to see you standing next to me. I don't know why I feel this beautiful? The sound of waves roaring, as if greeting our togetherness. The love that shines brightly, as if to light a dark night above us. The sky is as bright as our happy hearts!" Said Vira while looking straight at the middle of the sea.

"Vira, I'm married to Nadya. All because of my forced mother. The first year of your departure I was devastated. I risked my whole life. I ruined the career I've been holding. Every night I stand by this beach. Wish you'd come to see me!"

Vira silently heard Azzam's words. The voice of Azzam, like a thin incision in Vira's heart. The screams of Azzam's heart were hidden, now real heard in Vira's ears. It felt pain in his heart.

"A year of my destruction without you. Unknowingly made me lose Fatih. I forgot the gift you left. I dissolve in the wounds you inflicted. Every inch of my skin doesn't escape the incision. Drop by drop of blood I've been spilling. Wishing my pain to end, when my blood has dripped!"

"Mas Azzam!" Vira lirih said in disbelief. Azzam nodded slowly, as if a real Vira fear was happening.

"Yes Vira, one year I lived in the dark. Until I finally woke up, when Fatih's crying voice went away from me. I realized my son was gone. Fatih chose to stay with Rayyan, leaving me alone in a slump!" Azzam said softly, Vira looked down silent. The suffering Azzam felt was deep and real. Vira is silent, there is no justification for her ego.

"Finally in the second year of your departure, I married Nadya. My mother urged me with her pain. To ask me to marry the woman who ruined my happiness. Back then for my revenge, I married Nadya. I'm going to crush Nadya, I made Nadya regret marrying me. But all was not up to my expectations!"

"Missful!" Vira said, Azzam nodded slowly.

"In my slump, I vented my lust for Nadya. I betrayed our love, I destroyed the foundation of our love. I made Nadya the champion of my longing for you. The doll I'll hug when I need your warmth. Until finally Nafisa was born, the answer to an unattainable grudge!"

"Am I happy or sad? I heard your honesty. A taste that is no longer mine!"

"Vira, actually Nadya never replaced you. Nadya is in my heart, just for Nafisa's sake. A daughter born without sin. She was not wrong, being born in a loveless marriage!"

"If Nafisa's not wrong? Then, what's my fault? Until I was born imperfect!"

"Flood!" Azzam and Vira at the same time.

Farah walked with two sticks around. Farah had heard Azzam talk with Vira from the beginning. Farah tried to stay silent, not to interfere with the affairs of Vira and Azzam. But his little heart screamed, when he heard Azzam's affection for Farah. As a princess, Farah felt entitled to feel the same love as Farah.

"I never blamed my mom. I just want to, she saw mom's wounds. Tonight he said all his pain. It's like a guilty mother would break it. But actually, mama was the most broken person. Mama's sick without anyone? While he can still embrace another love!"

"Flood!" Said Vira, shaking her head. Vira doesn't expect Farah to say anything inappropriate to Azzam.

"What do you mean Farah?"

"I was born imperfect, not without reason. Although to be honest, I am sincere with my current condition!"

"Vira, what's really going on? Tell me, I really don't understand!"

"Here is Azzam, Farah's words need not be taken away. He's jealous to hear your affection for Farah. At least now Farah is starting to miss your affection!" Vira diverted the conversation.

"I'm not jealous of their families. It's just that my heart hurts, when I hear the truth that cornered my mom. Everyone thinks he's the worst. Injured by the farewell that his family had hoped for from the beginning!"

"The virus!" Said Azzam, looking at Vira. Azzam wished Vira had said everything, with nothing covered.

"Are you Mr. Azzam, mama came back three months after she realized my presence. Mama is looking for your existence as a husband, as well as my father. But not a word of congratulations your extended family said. Instead of insults and a piece of paper inscribed with divorce. The paper that was the beginning of my life's destruction!"

"Vira, is that all true?" Azzam said, Vira just kept silent. His lips were unable to answer the words of Azzam.

"Master Azzam, you know what? I wasn't born in a hospital, I was born in a psychiatric rehab!"

DUAAARRR

"Vira, no way!" Azzam said, the reality that Farah said. The lightning bolt that struck Azzam's bones. Vira looked down deeper, the sound of Farah's screams could no longer be prevented.

"Unfortunately, all of that is true. Your daughter was born in a mental hospital!"

"Bad blood!" Azzam said softly, as he approached Farah. But with a firm step, Farah walked backwards away from Azzam.

"Don't come any closer!" Shouted Farah, immediately Azzam's footsteps stopped. Vira walked away, there was no reason why Vira would stop Farah from speaking.

"Darling, forgive papa!"

"Slow Mr. Azzam, your family's refusal to attend twenty years ago. Insult in the honor of the mama they question. Being a strong excuse, that apology was never there for you!"

"But!"

"But everything that mom experienced was real. Mama was devastated with no one beside her. My mother was under great pressure. Mama was depressed when she remembered your family's insults. Not once did you want to end my life, wishing we weren't together. But all that did not happen, my mother healed and rose. When the sound of my crying was heard by my mother's deaf ears. After hearing the insults of your extended family!"

"Farah enough!"

"Yet ma, he must hear the bitterness of my life. He's responsible for all my pain!"

"No way, Vira's not that weak!"

"Mama is not weak, but women are doomed when her honor is questioned. Honestly, I feel proud now. When your family doubted my existence. At least I don't feel indebted to the blood that runs through my veins!"

"Farah, papa never knew that!"

"You already know it. So stop thinking mama's guilty and you're hurting!" Farah said final, then away with a stick as a buffer of his life.

"Farah, forgive the weak mama. Mama cause you were born imperfect!"

"It's not the wrong mama, but the wrong mama's love chooses the heart!" Farah was cold, Vira and Azzam were silent.

"Mama, I'm cold. We better get home!" Pinta Farah was firm and loud.
