The Crack of a Glass

125. His tongue trumps his sharp sword ...

The morning ...

As planned three days ago, the baby F aqiqah event took place smoothly and solemnly.

As in previous days, Azzura put the children of the orphanage first. So enthusiastic, he felt very moved as he stared at the innocent faces of the disadvantaged children one by one.

Not alone, he is with his two children and also his father. Invite them to chat and occasionally make them laugh.

There is a happiness in itself that he feels when he can make orphans like himself smile happily.

At one of the tables occupied by Close and Yoga, the two continued to look at Azzura from a distance.

"Close .. see .. her smile was sincere to the orphans. Even the children like they are used to mingling with them" chirped Yoga.

"Yes, you're right, Yoga. My biggest mistake was to waste it, hurt her heart, her mind even made her psyche disturbed. I'm really sorry, "I'm Close bowing listlessly.

"Honestly .. I almost became a player at the time. Unfortunately I still know myself" said Yoga and chuckled. "Haaah .. do you know? If only I knew Azzura would belong to bang Genta, I'd rather be a whiner when she's your wife."

Hearing the confession that escaped without permission from his assistant's ex mouth, Close's eyes immediately rounded perfectly. A second later he was immediately broken.

"Pppppffffff ... hahahaha .. unfortunately we both lost to Genta," Close timpal then punched Yoga's arm slowly.

"Haaah .. that's how a soul mate .." says Yoga. "It's been four years but I don't think I've found a girl that suits me. How about yourself?" ask Yoga.

Close shook his shoulders while taking a deep sip of his cigarette.

"Just like you, I feel like my heart is numb to women," I Close and puffed up the cigarette smoke.

"Dead of taste? Don't tell me you turned?!" accuse Yoga of slightly distancing her body from Close.

"Curtain!! Who turns!" pissed Close. "I failed once. I don't want to fail a second time. Do you know what? Because of my guilty feelings towards Azzura that made it difficult for me to get into a relationship. I'm afraid of making another mistake" I'm Close.

Yoga nodded slowly while glancing at him. The close that was beside him had now changed a lot. It looks much calmer than before.

The two returned to look at Azzura and Genta who seemed to be smiling happily while holding baby Fattah and Faatih.

"Azzura ... Behind our breakup, many valuable lessons I have learned from you. Learn to be patient, learn to accept, learn to forgive even if you have been hurt. Especially learning to appreciate life partner.I hope to find a soul mate like you.'"

That hopeful expression, only he was able to express in his heart. I hope he will be like Azzura.

Although the hope of meeting women who have the exact same nature as Azzura is almost impossible.

But who knows? Any possibility could happen. Although the nature of the girl is not exactly the same as expected by Close. 🤭️

*******

Right at 13:15 pm, when the aqiqah event was finished, not to forget Azzura and Genta had prepared parcels and envelopes to be distributed to the orphanage children.

In this moment the most enthusiastic are Devan and Ayya. Not to forget he invited Novia and Nenra to share the parcel with the disadvantaged children.

In the midst of the happiness that Azzura and Genta felt now. Both must prepare themselves, mentally and mind, because three more days they will follow the agenda of the child custody trial that has been filed by Johan on them.

An hour has passed since the aqiqah was completed, now Azzura and Genta are in the hotel room.

While Miss Nadirah and Mr. Dirgantara, bi Titin first went home with Ayya and Devan.

After performing the dhuhur prayer, Genta approached Azzura who was giving breast milk to her baby.

"Darling ... After some thought, we should look for a baby sitter for Fattah Faatih" suggested Genta while holding Fattah who seemed to open his eyes.

"Once upon a time ease your work taking care of the children. And so with bi Titin" he continued.

"No problem, Mom. I'll just go along with it," said Zu with a smile. "Saranku .. her baby sitter who is the same age as bi Titin. Not young, fresh and smooth. Ntar Mas smitten again," Zu chirped as well as sneered subtly and then chuckled. "So it's now, it's crazy times, Mas. Most young baby sitters love to flirt. Not just smitten at the employer but at the same time tempted by the money plus ..."

Azzura's speech was interrupted because Genta placed his index finger on his wife's lips and chuckled.

"Are you jealous?" search Genta then chuckle.

"It's not jealousy just to remind, Mas," said Zu casually.

"Such a sight was like my food when I was with Close. Maybe my heart was petrified without jealousy."

"Mas is not the type of man who is easily tempted by such a type of seductive woman. Many tuh, office friends, the son of a business partner father who approached while still a widower. But I'm not interested at all" I'm Genta.

"But for some reason when I saw you at the red light at that time, my heart meant something was different. When I saw you and Ayya joking at each other on the plane at that time, I was more and more curious about you. It turns out that we are friends and we do not expect if you teach at the Dirgantara foundation," concluded Genta.

Azzura shook for a second then she laid Faatih down and looked at her husband's face.

"Darling, do you know? Three years of waiting for you is not easy for you. Although there were some girls who approached and teased. But I refused because my heart was already stuck for you."

"Love is getting stronger because you're a different woman. Because of your attitude that tends to always avoid and keep your distance from Mas."

Genta sighed for a moment and then kissed the baby Fattah who was now asleep in his sling.

The clapper laid Fattah beside Faatih. Then he got closer to Azzura and asked her to sit on his lap.

"Honey, in three days, the trial will be held. The strong yes. God willing we will definitely win the lawsuit with valid evidence" whispered Genta.

Azzura just nodded slowly then fused his forehead. She stroked her husband's two firm jaws and kissed his lips gently.

At first it was just ordinary, but the longer Genta seemed to demand. Until he realized then removed his lip link because Azzura pushed his chest slowly.

"Mas, almost khilaf," whispered Genta with a heavy and hoarse voice accompanied by a hunting breath. "You anyway! fishing for passion only. Can't be responsible."

Azzura immediately chuckled then hugged him in an agony. Even she could feel her husband's property now stiffening.

"Why blame me anyway, Mas? Just the one who missed. That's really bad, huh?!" her whisper was simultaneously mocked her husband.

"Ck .." decak Genta was anxious to hear the words of his wife who was still sitting on his lap.

A moment's silence ...

Azzura pressed her head against Genta's neck while gently stroking her husband's chest.

"Maos ..."

"Hmm" said Genta and then kissed his wife's forehead and then stroked her stomach.

"After the inauguration of the promotion, we have a holiday with children and bi Titin" Zu said.

"May, after all it's been a long time since I've been on vacation. Especially as long as we're married. Where do you want to go on vacation? Home or abroad?" tanya Genta at once proposed a vacation spot.

"In the country, Mas. Precisely on Island B alone," proposed Zu.

"Maybe, anyways the children will soon be off school. So we can have full quality time" Genta timpal said with a smile.

After returning from the baby F aqiqah event, Close went straight to Johan's office because he would discuss the work problem that was delayed yesterday due to the sudden presence of Azzura.

Now the two look seriously staring at a picture of the resort owned by Close that will be built in the city.

Johan gave some suggestions to design some places in the building point to make it look attractive.

Close only nodded and agreed to the proposal of the architect. After he finished discussing the work issue, Close grabbed his cigarette.

"Oh yeah, Johan, what's the matter, Azzura came to you yesterday? What are you guys discussing?" ask Close pretending not to know and then sip his cigarette.

For a moment Johan shook his head and massaged the base of his nose. Either he has to answer or he doesn't.

"If seen from the look on Azzura's face yesterday, it seems like he is very upset, what's the matter?" ask Close again.

"Conversing child custody issues. I filed a child custody lawsuit against them" I said Johan in a soft voice.

"Although not coarsing with emotion, he was quite calm when discussing it. I can't seem to be picking. Even want to reply to his words just my tongue complained," he continued.

"Since the beginning he was like that. Seemed relaxed in speech but his tongue beat his sharp as a sword."

Close recalled the moment when he and Azzura were still in a marriage bond. The words made by Azzura always succeed to make it not warty.

He seemed to die lice could not reply to his ex-wife's words. Looks calm but can make someone silenced as if they do not have the right answer to reply to his words.

"Three more days the trial will be held. I just wish I could win custody of it falling into my hands. I want to make amends for my late wife through my son" Johan said.

"Then ... What if you lose the hearing? What are you gonna do? If you see the character of a Genta is quite hard but he looks very wise," circus Close.

Johan fluttered then bowed languidly. Azzura's words yesterday were still ringing in his ears.

"Pun is so with Azzura, since from the baby she has been nurturing your son to the size of now. I think he's got a pretty smart answer against you in court, too" Close said.

More ... Johan flinched and further lowered his gaze with teary eyes.

"Why now do you want to admit that Devan is your son, huh?! Then where were you when she was still in her mother's womb?!!"

"All Devan's decisions will depend on my wife's decision."

The words were again ringing in Johan's ears. He was afraid that he would never be able to hug his son again.
