The Crack of a Glass

Chapter 31: Tell the Truth ...

Instantly Azzura felt himself as if unable to balance his body and rewind his steps while bowed.

Feeling that Azzura seemed inferior to him, Yoga immediately moved from his chair to approach the hijab girl.

"Zu, it's okay. Let's talk about your problem. I already know what kind of problem you are going through right now," Yoga said as he grabbed her hands.

Slowly Azzura looked up with teary eyes.

"Let's sit there" he asked as he pointed his chin towards the seats facing each other.

For a moment Azzura shook and felt heavy stepping his legs towards the chair meant by Yoga.

"Zu," reprimanded Yoga staring pity at him. "Come, don't hesitate or be afraid. I've faced patients like you a lot, some are worse than you" explained Yoga and clasped his hands even tighter.

As Azzura's tears flowed down and was unable to speak, his tears were enough to describe how much pressure he was under and he was quiet.

"Zu" said Yoga as he carried her into his arms and stroked her back.

"Cry at least it can calm you down a bit. Don't hold it because it hurts your mind so much" whispered Yoga.

Hearing Yoga's words, Azzura's cries broke even more, as if she was spilling all her pain. For a few minutes he kept shedding his tears. But slowly it began to subside and then slightly pushed the psychologist's chest.

"Sorry, you've made your clothes wet" he said with a sigh.

"It's okay, Zu," he whispered as if he didn't mind.

"Come, we sit on that chair," he asked again and this time Azzura began to obey.

After landing her butt in that chair, Yoga gave her a bottle of mineral water.

"Here, drink first" Yoga pleaded and sat down opposite him.

"Thank you," said Zu as he reached for the bottle.

The room was silent for a moment because Yoga gave Azzura a little space to calm herself down for a while while sipping her mineral water.

"Are you feeling much calmer now?" ask Yoga.

"Alhamdulillah .." he said with a slow breath. "Yoga, you're a psychologist. So, why are you working for Close?" cecar Zu's.

Yoga only commented on the smile of hearing the question from Azzura.

"Zu, a psychologist does not have to work in a hospital, or open a practice. But they can also work anywhere" explains Yoga.

Azzura just nodded in silence.

"Can we start counseling now?" tanya Yoga approached her chair in front of Azzura.

Azzura only nodded then sighed deeply.

"Zu, because you are a special patient, I will not use hypnotherapy to uncover all the problems that you have in your heart" Yoga said as he looked at her.

"Why?"

"Because I want you to tell me the truth about all your problems without you covering up for me anymore" Yoga said.

Azzura flinched and was seen squeezing both hands. Either you want to tell or you don't.

"Zu," Yogic scolded as he clasped the girl's hand. "Look at my face, suppose you are facing your sister right now" Yoga said.

"Yoga," she says. "Please promise me you won't tell me if you know the truth" she said in a choked voice.

"I promise and I can't do it. All my patient issues will not be revealed because all patient secrets are very private" explained Yoga.

Azzura just nodded then wiped away the tears that started to drip.

"Zu, yesterday you had time to tell if your marriage and Close because of forced. Honestly, from the beginning I was suspicious if your marriage was wrong" explained Yoga. "What makes me really curious is, does Close often do KDRT to you?" search Yoga.

"Every night after coming home from the hospital to see my mother" he admitted. "Even often he hit me in front of his girlfriend," he admitted again with a trembling voice.

Yoga Jaws instantly tightened, clenched his teeth and his hands clenched firmly.

"Yoga, Close and Laura often even had illicit relationships in our home. Whether Close wants to make me jealous or intentionally, I don't know either. Even though I don't love him but at least their actions hurt me deeply," said Zu.

"So all this time ...?" yoga speech was interrupted because Azzura directly connected.

"Yes, for the last six months we've been sleeping in separate rooms even he's been preventing me from going into his room. I also didn't want to because the room was so disgusting to me" Zu said. "Yoga, who made me sick the most, when Close said I was barren in front of his parents" he continued, wiping his tears.

"Zu," said Yoga while looking down. "Who knows this?" hisses.

"Nanda and mother Fahira" said Zu.

"May I know, since when did you start getting close to Fahira's mother?" ask Yoga.

"Five months ago when I examined my uterus" Zu explained.

"Is your uterus in trouble?" ask Yoga.

"Ngga yoga. The night after Close beat me, he pushed me to the end of the table. Unsatisfied, he stepped on my stomach again. Everything because, I felt nauseous when I heard their voice was having sex that night," Zu explained in a soft voice. "Close was disturbed to hear me vomit. She thought if I got pregnant out of wedlock and framed her. She even wants to kill the fetus if I'm pregnant" Zu said.

The room was silent for a moment before Yoga finally reopened his voice.

"That's how you deal with a depraved man, a jerk like him? You'd better leave him alone" exasperated Yoga.

Azzura bowed and cried. "Yoga, until now I still survive because of mother, I owe my in-laws a debt of gratitude" Zu said in a trembling voice.

"Zu, but with the KDRT that Close often does to you now has an impact on your psyche. If it goes on you can have a severe trauma and it can make you depressed" explains Yoga with teary eyes looking at her.

"If that happens, there are you who will heal me" Zu replied. "I'm sure as you continue with me, that trauma and depression will never happen" she continued.

Yoga glanced at him. Feeling the pain and suffering of the girl who was currently sitting opposite him.

"Zu, so it's true that bruises are often on your forehead, because of the KDRT right? Not just on the forehead but also almost all over your body" said Yoga. "Sorry, I know from the photos that you take as evidence," he said. "If at any time you are tired, then give up, the photos of the visa you can make evidence if you are ready to sue him," said Yoga then again grasped both hands Azzura.

Azzura only nodded but her tears fell back.

"Yoga, what I'm thinking about right now is my mother. I just want you to get well and hope for nothing. I've decided that if you're cured, I choose to separate from her and will go as far as possible to bring you and start a new life" she said in tears.

What about me if you leave?Are we not going to meet again?

Yoga stared at him who was crying. For a moment he just let Azzura cry and took off his hand.

After a few minutes, Azzura began to calm down again and seemed to take a deep breath.

"How, do you feel so much better now after telling me all your problems?" tanya Yoga with a smile.

"Alhamdulillah .." he said.

"From your case that I learned yesterday, RESTLESS ..that's what you often feel when it's late afternoon until night, is it true?" ask Yoga.

"Yes" replied Zu.

"Zu, my advice .. remember not to get stuck with your disturbing emotions and always think positive. Calm yourself, stay relaxed and don't think no-no" Yoga advises. "I'm sure you can, '" he continued.

"God willing .." he said.

Now Azzura felt much better, calm and feeling empty, after revealing everything without anything he covered in Yoga.

Thank you, Mother, Yoga, you are good people whom God sent to strengthen me.
