The Crack of a Glass

Bonchap 16

The next day ...

When Close blinked, the sunlight was already emitting its light shining on the universe. So that the light penetrates into the sidelines of the room curtain.

Slowly he changed his position to sit and stretch the muscles of his body that feels sore.

"I've got to meet Yoga. I wanted to consult him," he muttered and then pointed his tail at the nightstand.

Right where he put down a bottle of tranquilizer that he kept drinking until this very second.

Without the drug, Close could not sleep well because he felt restless. As a result, now he is even dependent on the drug pads.

A few hours passed ...

The direction of his eyes was immediately fixed on the door of the room that was knocked. Without a second thought, he approached the door and opened it.

"Mom, Daddy, Gisel" he said one by one.

Gisel immediately barged in and threw his body on the bed of the brother.

"Haaah .. comfortable," murmured Gisel.

Momy Lio and daddy Kheil were just bobbing their heads at the behavior of her youngest daughter.

"Mom, Dad, are we going back to town J today?" tanya Close wants to make sure.

"Yes, son," answered Momy Lio and sat down on the side of the bed.

Momy Lio's eyebrows instantly interlocked as she was about to put her handbag on the nightstand. He grabbed a medicine bottle filled with pills from the top of the nightstand.

"Close," call momy Lio while holding the medicine bottle.

Close slowly turned and looked at the mother. "Yes, what's up, Mom?"

Momy Lio showed the bottle of medicine to him. Close's eyes immediately rounded and then rubbed his nape as Momy Lio approached him.

"Ah! I forgot to keep it."

"What is this, son? Are you sick?" cecar momy Lio was worried.

While daddy Kheil went straight to Momy Lio and grabbed the medicine bottle from his wife's hand.

He stared fixedly at the medicine bottle because he felt familiar with the type of pill. Daddy Kheil looked back at Close with a probing look.

"Close." Daddy Kheil showed the medicine in front of his son's face. "Are you still taking this medicine? Didn't you stop drinking it after you healed?" cecar daddy Kheil.

Close lowered his gaze, a second later he immediately hugged daddy Kheil tightly and cried.

"At first, Dad. But after Azzura got married, I went back to drinking. Every night I feel restless. My guilt for her always looms over me, Dad," I'm Close.

"I didn't even have a chance to make amends for Azzura until she married Genta. I gotta how's Dad, Mom? I still can't forget him. I'm still stuck with my guilty feelings for her."

"Close" said exclaimed daddy Kheil and momy Lio.

"It seems I should consult with a psychologist again, "Close continued.

Momy Lio and daddy Kheil did not expect that the mental health of the son was still not fully recovered.

"I'm sorry momy, Close. Mommy should not leave you when you are in a bad state at that time, "sorry momy while crying.

"It's not momy's fault but mine" Close said. "Here you go, you better get ready. I'll catch up later."

"But, Son?!" momy Lio protest.

"It's okay, Mom. I know Momy must be worried about me. Trust me Mom, I'm fine," said Close reassuring momy and daddy.

Yoga and Close. If Close is still stuck with feelings of guilt on Azzura instead with Yoga who now feel happiness.

Since then the corner of the lips of the man who works as a psychologist continues to be engraved on the face of his face.

His heart was so flowery that he imagined the beautiful face of his future wife.

"Haah .. I can't wait to deliver my invitation directly to Azzura and Bang Genta in M city" he murmured.

Shortly after, his phone shook. With a quick movement, he immediately grabbed the flat object on his desk.

"Close," he said, then shifted the green button.

"Yes, Assalamu'alaikum, Close," Yoga answered and left his chair.

"Vaa'laikumsalam, Ga. I want to meet you," said Close to the point.

"Can, you just come straight here precisely in the mental hospital street xxx," exclaimed Yoga.

"Well, I'll be there in about an hour after dropping mom, dad and Gisel off at the airport.

"No need to hurry, I keep waiting until you come" Yoga said with a chuckle.

"All right," said Yoga and then disconnected the phone call.

After driving her parents and sister, Close immediately drove her vehicle to the hospital where Yoga worked.

He is now in the Yoga room. The two were sitting facing each other with the table that became a barrier.

"Close," reprimanded Yoga because since then, Close just silent with an empty view.

Because Close did not respond, Yoga chose to stand up and go to him and pat him on the shoulder a little hard.

And sure enough, the clap made Close surprised and then spontaneously looked up at Yoga.

"What's wrong? It seems you're not okay. I'm like seeing you six years ago today, "I'm Yoga with my eyebrows intertwined.

Hygiene ...

No answer from Close, he again lowered his gaze down. His chest felt tight, starting to rumble to force his eyes to drop tears.

"I've looked fine all along. But only from the outside. Who cares about my true heart and feelings? All this time I was deliberately looking for busyness, traveling there to here just to entertain myself. Trying to escape the shadow of my regrets and mistakes to Azzura. But I haven't made it out of that zone yet" I Close with a quivering voice.

The phrase Close just now, suddenly made Yoga surprised. He did not expect that Azzura's ex-husband was still overshadowed by his past.

"Close, why didn't you tell me the truth at the time. If I knew your mental state was not fully recovered, I would not have left J" Yoga said, holding her shoulder.

"Since Azzura remarried, there I began to feel my soul re-contort. Because I wasn't given the chance to make amends for all my wrongs to her."

"Every night I get nervous and even close my eyes I can't. Every time my eyes would be closed the shadow of physical violence always appeared suddenly."

"How can I escape from those shadows, Yoga? Honestly, I'm drug dependent now" he admitted.

Yoga patted her on the shoulder and pulled the chair beside Close. He also sat facing each other.

"close ...There are many ways to escape the shadows" Yoga said, looking at the cross-section man's face.

"One of them is by calming the heart and mind, such as meditating to visit lonely places."

"Ikhlas accepts mistakes, and learns from each mistake itself. Because that will make you strong in life."

"Precision in living daily life is the main key. Without calmness, one cannot do everything well. And the last one to bring yourself close to Allah SWT," concluded Yoga and then patted his shoulder.

Slowly Yoga wiped his tears while nodding silently. He studied, listened and absorbed every sentence spoken by Yoga just now.

The last sentence of Yoga instantly made her aware. All this time, he never put his forehead on a safe even never raised his hand to ask the Creator of the universe.

After about two hours of consulting Yoga, Close now feels much better and seems much calmer.

While still chatting in the room, his phone shook. He also postponed for a moment his chat with Yoga and reached into his pants pocket.

"Zu," he muttered for a moment after staring at his phone screen with a video call.

Without a second thought he immediately answered the video call in prayer.

From the screen of his phone, he could clearly see his ex-wife was waving her hand near Fattah Faatih.

"Assalamu'alaikum .." said Zu.

"Vaa'saikumsalam ... Zu," Close replied as he stared fixedly at the faces of Azzura and her two children from the screen of her phone.

"Close, are you in the office again? But the background is like in a practice room," Zu guessed.

Close chuckled and pointed his camera at Yoga.

"Zu, when are you going to play A's?" ask Yoga. "The mother's father is also again in this city, huh? Kangen wants to regroup."

"What a coincidence, is there a special event?" ask Zu.

"The secret of the country" replied Yoga ambiguously and then chuckled.

After that, Close turned his phone camera back to him.

"Close, are you okay," asked Zu. "Honestly last night I was suddenly agitated to remember you. Worry if something happens."

Hearing Azzura's words from across the phone screen, Close flipped as well as felt moved to look at her face fixed.

"Even he's still worried about me."

"Close? How bengong?" reprimand Zu.

"Yes, I'm fine" replied Close. "Zu, don't you want to mess around to town A? I miss gathering together again," I Close with a sad face.

"It's Friday, what if it's tomorrow" Zu suggested."

"Really, Zu?!!" pekik Yoga then got up from the chair and stood behind Close.

"Are you serious" said Close.

"Yes" Zu replied and smiled.

Their conversation continued through the flat screen. Although only able to chat via video call, but the longing for Close and Yoga can be paid off.

After being satisfied chatting through the VC, Azzura finally decided on a call.

Yoga and Close both commented on the smile after being satisfied chatting with the mother of four children.

"Yoga, I can't wait for tomorrow" I closed with a smile.

"Hmm ... me too," said Yoga.
