The Crack of a Glass

Bonchap 18's

After contacting Close, Genta and Azzura followed him to the resort an hour after he finished performing the Ashar prayer.

Do not forget the two contacted Yoga as well as offered to join together to share later.

Tiga puluh menit sudah Genta, Azzura dan Close berada di pantai itu sejak keduanya tiba di resort itu yang tak lain adalah milik Close.

"Darling, I did not think that your ex-husband turned out to be twisted. Don't you regret leaving him?" asked Genta in a joking tone.

Azzura's laughter instantly filled her husband's eardrum and Close.

He then glanced at Close who had been staring at him ever since.

"Because I don't deserve to be with him. There are still women who are much better for him. The proof is that we cannot maintain the integrity of our household. Because I'm sure God must have other plans for Close" Zu concluded.

Close immediately directed his gaze towards Fattah Faatih who was playing with sand with his excitement.

Hearing Azzura's words, his heart suddenly slipped. "If you give me a chance, then you are the woman I will be most happy with until the end of my life. This love is still springing up and not yet extinguished, Zu."

His daydreams quickly spread as Genta clung tightly to his back and whispered, "You must be excited, rest assured that one day God will send someone to fill the empty space in your heart."

Close down with teary eyes. I don't know what to say. What was clear was that his heart was now enveloped with a feeling of emptiness.

Seeing Close's unusual gurgle, Genta glanced at Azzura then clasped his fingers as if beckoning at him.

"Buggets ... Faatih .." call Genta to the two sons. "Do you want ice cream?" tanyanya while approaching her two sons who are still playing.

"You, Dad," the two answered and took off the toy he was holding.

"Yuk .." invite Genta then crouched then clean the sticky sand on the tiny bodies of his two sons.

"Darling, we accompany the children first yes," he said, blinking his eyes with a nod.

Just a few steps Genta swung his steps, Yoga only arrived by waving his hands at him.

But quickly Genta signaled to keep him in place while accelerating his pace.

"Waah Bang, I immediately jealous see Azzura and Close there," Yoga clamored then chuckled. "O uncle's hero" he said, holding Fattah Faatih together.

The two little boys immediately giggled because they were frenzied by Yoga.

"Yuk we look for fresh first," invited Genta.

"Don't tell me, you want to glance ga ...."

Yes ...!!

His eel was instantly flushed by Genta while chuckling. "Wouldn't look at another girl. Azzura has exceeded everything," between Genta and greeted with laughter Yoga.

"I'm speechless, Bang. Brother is a true man for every woman" praise Yoga.

Genta just commented a smile and then again invited him to leave the place. At the same time wanted to give Close and Azzura a chance to chat with each other.

The sound of the roar of the waves continued to greet Close and Azzura. The soft sound of the breeze coalesced into one in that place. The wind that blows slowly continues to hit the bodies of both of them while creating a peaceful atmosphere in the heart.

The atmosphere of shahdu that Azzura liked since long ago. For a moment he closed his eyes feeling every gust of wind and the sound of roaring waves greeting.

In the silence created between the two, Close continued to look at the shady face of his ex-wife.

"Azzura Zahra" he said in a low, barely audible voice.

"Close," Zu said softly calling his name and holding his fingers "Try to close your eyes, feel every gust of wind and the sound of the roar of the waves deeper," Zu exclaimed still in the same position.

Close immediately turned his head and looked down at his fingers which were now being held tightly by Azzura.

His two eyes now paused and finally dropped two clear crystals from his eyelids.

Want it to feel that second also he wanted to hug the body ex tightly his wife, but urung he did because of doubt and fear.

He took a deep breath and slowly breathed it out. Following instructions from Azzura.

Back silence ...

All that was heard was the sound of the roar of the waves and the sound of a breeze blowing through the bodies of the two.

One minute ...

Five minutes ...

Ten minutes ...

Tranquility in the heart and merta fill the recesses of both hearts. Slowly Azzura opened her eyes and glanced at Close.

He commented a smile while still finding the crossbred man closed his eyes. His hand that had been clutching fingers since then he did not let go.

"Do you feel much calmer now?" tanya Zu was still looking at him.

In silence Close nodded slowly. There was a smile engraved on the corner of his lips. Shortly after, he opened his eyes.

"Thank you, Zu," he said softly and turned to Azzura.

Azzura only commented on the smile then hugged her while stroking her back.

"Zu," he said with a trembling voice.

"It's okay, leave it like this for a second. Cry if you want to cry in my arms, that's okay. I have also been in a position like this. It is hard and hard to express in words. But tears are enough to represent everything" whispered Zu as she continued to stroke her ex-husband's back.

Hearing that soft tone of speech, Close's cry instantly broke unstoppably. Azzura's tight hug seemed to strengthen himself.

From a distance Yoga and Genta can only stare at the nanar both at once filled. Close back that had been up and down since then was enough for both of them to guess.

"Dude." Yoga holds the shoulders of Genta.

"It's okay, let them be like that. I feel Close does need Azzura right now," Genta said and glanced at him. "I'm sure that after this Close will definitely find out who he is.

"Yes, I think it is Azzura who can make it back to the way it was" said Yoga.

He also told me about the true condition of Close without anything he hid including when he consulted him yesterday.

"It seems like this is life, Yoga. Regrets and guilt seem to be a scourge to us. After someone who has been wasted is no longer with us."

"As experienced by Close. On the one hand he should be grateful for not losing Azzura, in the sense of dying. Imagine if Azzura was gone? What's gonna happen? He could have gone crazy because of the regret and guilt that continues to haunt him," explained Genta with a breath.

"Yes, you're right" said Yoga.

Both are still in place. The views of the two continued to point towards Azzura and Close.

Back to Azzura and Close who currently feel much better. After a few minutes of shedding tears in Azzura's arms, she took off her arms.

"I'm sorry if it's like I'm taking a chance on you" said close softly.

"It's okay. I also know which one took the chance and didn't" Zu replied and smiled.

Before continuing his words, Azzura let out a long sigh while directing his gaze towards the western horizon.

"Close .. who passes let it pass. Forget everything that ever happened between us. How long will you be stuck with your remorse and guilt for me?"

"Everybody has made the biggest mistake of his life, including myself. Not giving you a chance to make up for all your mistakes, doesn't mean you're a bad man in my eyes but vice versa."

Azzura paused his sentence for a moment while taking a deep breath. She then stared fixedly at the ex-husband's face.

He returned a smile and held his hand.

"Close, we fail to maintain our marriage, not because we want to. But it is the destiny of God."

"Because I'm sure there will be a much better replacement for me for you. Believe and be assured" Zu said without taking off his hand.

"Zu," said Close with a soft face.

"Close, what you need right now is peace of heart, soul and mind. Bring yourself closer to Allah SWT. Inshaallah ... Allah will hear your every complaint in every thread of your words and prayers."

"One of them declares your heart, declares all that has happened. Never think of things that could disturb your mind with our past."

"Close if I may suggest you'd better be umrah" Zu suggested. "I'm sure that place will allow you to get out of the shadows of the past. Ask for the best prayer there because praying there is more mustajab and quickly granted by God, God willing," concluded Zu and smiled.

Hearing the advice from Azzura, Close nodded slowly. He did not expect that Azzura would think about it for his sake.

He thought the advice from Azzura had a point and entered his wits. A second later he smiled.

A few hours passed ...

After completing the magrib prayer, Genta and Azzura looked ready to return to the hotel.

But earlier they would have dinner together at one of the restaurants that Close had prepared for them.

"Honey," call Genta.

"Yes Mas" said Zu after giving a milk pacifier to his son.

"What about Close? I was so excited when I saw her crying in your arms."

"Alhamdulillah .. seems like he's been much better, Mas. I suggested that he umrah. Inshaallah .. I'm sure after Umrah he can definitely live his days as before."

Azzura sighed and hugged her husband.

"I'm sorry, Mas because without your permission I hugged her" Zu said. "Everything I do is to make her feel a little calm."

"It's okay, honey. I understand so don't feel so guilty." Genta kissed his forehead and then stroked his stomach.

While waiting for his two sons to finish the milk, Genta and Azzura again tidied up his prayer equipment.

After that Azzura chose to go to the balcony. His face looked up at the sky which was now filled with thousands of stars.

"In a relationship, you must have felt happy, sad, and disappointed. But all of this was a trial. Close, hopefully after returning home umrah, you will soon inform me and Genta mas."
