The Crack of a Glass

Chapter 3: Forced to marry ....

The next day ....

Just like Mrs Liodra said last night. The next morning he and Mr. Kheil were seen going to the hospital to visit Ms. Isma, Zu's mother.

"Mom .. is Momy sure that Zu's mother is being treated here" her husband asked.

"Yes ... Azzura himself said it," he replied.

Lady Liodra knocked on the door and greeted Zu, who was feeding his mother.

"Dn ... Mother ..." greet Lady Liodra with a smile.

"Sir, Madam ..." - Lirih Zu.

Ms. Liodra stared fixedly at the face of the woman who was sitting leaning back and looked pale even her head was covered with skulls.

"Mom, this is Mrs Liodra's owner of the cafe where I work" Zu explained. "And the one next to her, Mr. Kheil, her husband. He is President of KL Brandon Corp."

Ms. Isma reviewed the smile and then gave a small nod.

"I'm Ms. Isma, Madam, Sir. Thank you for being so heartened to hold me," said Ms. Isma in a soft voice.

"Together, Mom. The arrival of the two of us here is not just to visit but all of us want to propose to Azzura to make her our daughter-in-law" said Mrs Liodra.

Bu Isma glanced at Azzura then smiled. Madam, sir, thank you. But all the decisions are in Azzura's hands. I just follow" said Ms. Isma.

Madam Liodra and Mr. Kheil both looked at Azzura expectantly.

"Mom, I will accept this proposal as I ask for my blessing and prayers" she said with teary eyes.

Without any suspicion, Ms. Isma reviewed the smile while stroking the princess's arm alone with affection and then nodded weakly.

"Thank you, Azzura, Ma'am" said Mrs Liodra and Mr. Kheil.

"But, I'm sorry Madam, sir. Azzura's father can't be her guardian because my husband is dead" I'm Ms. Isma in a soft voice.

"No problem, Mom. We accept Azzura as it is" said Mrs Liodra. He looked towards Azzura. "Zu, from now on, call me Momy and Mr. Kheil as Daddy" he said.

"But, Nyo ...."

"Don't call Madam again but Momy," he said again as well as cutting off Zu's sentence.

"Zu, Momy's right. Don't call us Mr and Mrs again but call Momy and Daddy" Mr. Khiel said.

Azzura just glanced at the prospective in-laws alternately, looked at his mother and then cried. If his mother knew the reason for accepting the proposal and would marry the employer's son, of course his mother refused.

But to see his mother healed, Zu was forced to accept even though he could imagine what his home life would be like.

"Darling .." said Ms. Isma in a weak voice.

"Mother .." - She hugged her mother while sobbing.

He is happy and sad. She is happy because her mother will be in surgery soon and will continue chemotherapy treatment. He was sad because he imagined the household he would live.

Seeing Zu sobbing in his mother's arms, Mrs Liodra and Mr. Kheil shed tears.

"Mom, the plan is, Zu and our son's wedding will be held in two weeks. I will arrange everything. Mother need not worry. I will also finance and cover all the costs of the mother's treatment operation at this hospital" explained Ms. Liodra while holding her clothes.

"Thank you" said Ms. Isma and then commented with a smile.

"Together, ma'am," Reply to both.

Meanwhile, in Close's office, Laura looked so annoyed and irritated.

"What!!! Did I hear wrong?!" furious Laura stared intently at Close.

"I don't want to but Momy. Even in two weeks we'll be married" Close said.

"Why don't you refuse?!" pissed Laura.

"I have refused, but Momy still insists on marrying me to the girl," added Close.

"Darling! I don't want to if you touch it. You better do something" Laura suggested.

"There's no way I could touch her, where maybe I'm interested in a country girl like her. There, I really hate the girl," he explained but did not explain clearly the cause he hated Azzura.

Close grinned and hugged Laura.

"Your idea, maybe. Doing something .. I think the most brilliant idea is to make a divorce agreement. Yes, she will still be my wife. As a wife on paper. I'll have him sign the divorce papers anytime, if he's already given up and tired and officially divorced from her."

What a plan for Close and Laura. Even with confidence, he expressed his desire with excitement. Close forgets that between hate and love the difference is very thin. 🙄

Laura immediately smiled with satisfaction at Close's words.

"I don't want to lose Close. Look at it later, I will continue to instigate Close to continue to hate her," he murmured inwardly

*******

Two weeks later ....

The day that most lovers who are going to get married will generally look happy, but that is not the case for Azzura and Close.

Both were forced to marry for different reasons.

When Azzura was to be edited by Close, her mother also had to be operated on the same day.

"Nanda, I'm picking up my mom. Please call me if you're done with the surgery," she asked in a choked voice.

"Yes, Zu. Sorry .. I can't attend on your wedding day either. Your mother is more important. He was like my mother, too" said Nanda and hugged her best friend. Congratulations, by the way, Zu. I didn't expect that you would be Bu Liodra's daughter-in-law."

"Darling .. Don't cry son. Smile, because it's your happy day" her mother then stroked Zu's innocent face. "I'm sorry .. I can't be with you."

"If you knew why I got married, you wouldn't agree" she said.

Shortly after, several nurses entered Isma's room and began pushing the patient's bed out of the room.

With tears in her eyes, Zu and Nanda push the bed of her mother's patients until they are separated at the front door of the operating room.

A second later he looked at a male doctor wearing a mask approaching the operating room door.

"Dok, please save my mother," he said, grasping the doctor's hands in a choked voice.

The doctor just nodded then stared fixedly at Azzura's eyes which kept on shedding tears.

"So ... patient, this girl's mother?" murmured the doctor, then looked at his hand that Azzura was holding.

"God, we will try to do our best" said the doctor.

"Thank you, Doc," said Zu and took off his hand.

The doctor nodded and smiled behind his mask. After that, he went into the operating room.

With a heavy heart, Azzura said goodbye to his best friend. He was forced to leave the hospital, then approached the car that had been waiting for him since.

Along the way, Azzura just kept quiet and stared out the car window. His mind was late thinking of his mother.

Not long after, Yoga rebuked him.

"Miss Zu, we've arrived" reprimanded Yoga who is none other than Close's assistant.

"Yes, sorry. Oh yeah, don't call Miss, call Zu or Zura," Zu said, smiling.

Yoga smiled back while nodding.

Upon his arrival at the hotel, Momy Liodra picked him up at the hotel lobby.

"Darling, you should be in makeup immediately. Smile, son," whispered momy Liodra.

Both of them immediately went to one of the hotel rooms that had been prepared to decorate it.

"Sir, please make up my future daughter-in-law as beautiful and elegant as possible" pinta momy Liodra.

"Ready, Mistress."

Before Azzura's face in the make-up polish, MUA first helped her wear the kebaya. After that, Mbak MUA began to polish the plain face of Azzura.

Thirty minutes later ....

"Perfect," said Mbak MUA staring amazed Azzura's beautiful face.

Shortly afterwards, the future-in-law and his brother-in-law approached him.

"Yeah ... Zu .. I got to pangling," I'm Gisel.

"Darling, are you ready, son?" ask momy.

"Ready, Mom." He closed his eyes for a moment and took a deep breath to neutralize his feelings.

After that Gisel and Momy Liodra flank his arms to the hotel ballroom where the pak penghulu, Daddy and Close were waiting for him.

With a slow but sure step, Momy Liodra and Gisel escorted him to Close who was standing in wait.

For a moment, Close was stunned to stare in admiration of the future wife. He immediately held onto his chest which was suddenly pounding staring clearly at the beautiful face of Azzura.

But it instantly broke when her mom reprimanded her.

"Close ..."

Close greeted Zu's hand and helped him sit next to his chair.

A few minutes later, Pengulu shook his hand and began to lead him to say the sacred promise of marriage.

"I accept his marriage and the marriage of Azzura Zahra bint Muhammad Fadil with his dowry paid in cash." Close's loud voice echoed in the room, chanting ijab qobul with just a single breath.

"May ..."

"May ..."

"May ..."

Azzura's face still looked calm, but his heart was slipping away. She is now officially the wife of Close Navarro Kheil.

Zu gasped in shock when his fingers were grabbed by Close and then put the wedding ring on his ring finger and vice versa, he was forced to put the ring on Close's ring finger.

"Close ... let's kiss your wife's forehead," he pinta daddy.

He was forced to comply with his father's request

Close stared fixedly at Zu's face while cupping his cheek and then kissed his forehead.

After that he whispered, "Welcome to this curse wedding. A marriage that would be like being in hell."

Azzura only fluttered with a flat face staring fixedly at her husband's brown bead, as if she was ready to face all the possibilities that would happen.
