The Crack of a Glass

Chapter 1: Terms ...?

Azzura looked pensively staring at her mother nanar who was lying weakly on the patient bed.

His hand did not come off continue to hold the fingers of his mother who seemed to be asleep with a hose that is still attached to the nose.

"Oh Allah .. What should I do? Where do I have to get that kind of money for my mom's surgery? Including treatment for the next chemo."

Tears began to trickle thinking of his fate.

"My salary as a barista won't be enough to finance my mother's treatment. Not even the money of retired mothers and deceased fathers will be enough."

Azzura took off her hand and then kissed her forehead.

"Mom, I'm going to work first. I'll try to find a loan for my mother's medical expenses. Whatever it is, I need to heal so we can be together again."

After that, Azzura left her mother who was still lying weak with her eyes continuously closed.

With a gontai step, he stepped back while thinking of a way to get a loan.

"Would I just borrow some money from Madam, huh? It's okay to pay by slashing," he murmured.

Bruinsk ....

His steps stopped and slowly looked up.

"Ah .. sorry Doc, I didn't accidentally," he said, looking down and clutching both hands in the chest.

"It's okay. Next time if the road does not daydream," said the doctor and then review the smile.

Azzura nodded slowly. Continue to swing your way to the parking area.

Upon arrival at the Cafe where he worked, Azzura took a deep breath.

"Zu, spirit" he said, raising his hand to symbolize spirit.

He also stepped foot into the cafe and greeted his friend who first arrived from him.

"Zu, are you late?" ask Nanda his best friend.

"I stopped by the hospital for a while to see Mom," Zu replied with a smile.

"How's Auntie doing?"

Azzura sighed. "Mom has to be operated on, Nanda. This is why I am confused looking for a loan. You know the cost of cancer surgery is very expensive, not to mention if you have to undergo chemotherapy," explained Zu with a sad face.

"Patience, Zu. Later we will try to help by rallying for help," Nanda suggested as she stroked her best friend's back.

"Thank you, Nanda" said Zu.

The two returned to work serving shoppers who were ordering drinks.

After making drinks ordered by someone, Azzura several times called the name of the customer. However, the buyer did not come to the table bartender cafe.

"Nan, this is who's messing with the guy anyway?" ask Zu. "From that moment I called, the man didn't come."

"Oh that, the crossbred girl sitting there," pointed Nanda, pointing her index finger at the girl who was playing a mobile phone.

"That's really good?! Waiting just a moment can not," grumbled Zu and then approached the girl.

"Sorry ... Miss, this is your drink of order" said Zu and placed a cup of chocolate on the table.

"It's a long time!" snapped it.

"I'm sorry" said Zu.

"As simple as that, you're apologizing, huh!! Don't you know who I am?" snapped again.

"You're her lover Close, right," Zu replied briefly.

"It's not just a lover, but will be his wife and the future daughter-in-law of the big family Kheil Brandon," said the girl again boasted.

"Huh!! How annoying! If you weren't Close's girlfriend, I would've scolded you" Zu grumbled inwardly and left the crossbreed girl.

Afternoon ....

Before knocking on the door, he took a deep breath to neutralize his bitter feelings and knocked on the door.

"Come in," voice commands from inside the room.

"Good afternoon Madam" Zu greeted with a smile.

"Ah, Zu-chan. Afternoon too. Come here." Come here."

The hijab-wearing girl nodded then sat on the chair opposite Madam Liodra.

"What's up, Zu?" lady Liodra asked kindly.

"Mrs, I'm here to ask for your help. I mean ... eeemm .. I ...."

Azzura seemed hesitant to express his intentions.

"Just tell me don't hesitate," said Madame Liodra.

"Mrs, may I borrow some money from you?" ask Zu and then look down.

"Borrow money? But what's Zu for?" madam Liodra asked with her eyebrows intertwined.

"For the cost of my mother's surgery and chemotherapy treatment, Madam. My mother has cancer" she explained, still bowing her head. "I will repay the payment even though I will forever work for Madam."

A meaningful smile rose on the thin lips of the middle-aged beautiful woman.

"Zu, I won't lend you any money. But, I'll pay for all your mother's care during her treatment. But there's a condition."

Azzura immediately looked up at Madam Liodra.

"What are the conditions, madam? I will accept that condition to see my mother get well again" Zu said.

"Marry my son, Close, then all your mother's medical expenses will be my responsibility" Liodra said.

Azzura was very surprised by the conditions proposed by Lady Liodra. Not without reason, he knows as well as Close. A proud man, arrogant, likes it casually especially he already has a lover.

He seemed to be weighing. On the one hand he felt afraid but on the other hand, he really needed money for the cost of surgery and continued treatment of the mother.

However, for the sake of his mother's recovery, he finally accepted the condition even though he was forced, even though he already knew what the risk would be.

"Alright Madam, I will accept those conditions. But, let me keep working in this cafe," said Zu.

"Alright, if that's all you want," said Mrs Liodra.

"I'm sorry, Zu. All this I did because I didn't like Close to keep in touch with Laura. I don't know why I don't like that girl" Inner Lady Liodra.

After that, Azzura bailed leaving Bu Liodra's room.

"Oh Allah .. What should I do? Since college, Close hates me so much that he doesn't even bother insulting me."

He kept moving until he got to the parking lot. Just as he was about to put on a helmet, the man he had just had in mind passed him with a look of hate. I don't know what made Close hate him.

Azzura stared at the sturdy back of his master's eldest son.

"For the sake of mother's recovery, I must be strong to deal with it with the airy chest."

He turned on his motorbike, leaving the place to the city park to entertain himself.

******

Shortly after being in the city park, Azzura sat leaning on one of the park benches. He looked up, looking at the sky that was beginning to darken.

"Bus ... Mama needs to heal. If Mom gets well, I promise I'll take you for a walk to the top. We will reminisce again about all our memories with Dad when he was alive. Hang on Mom, don't leave me."
