The Crack of a Glass

Chapter 40: Getting married by force ...

From a distance, Close was still reluctant to move from where he stood and was still at home watching his wife who was hugging Mr. Prasetya.

While Yoga who was approaching his father, seemed filled not to hear the sound of Azzura in the father's embrace.

"Dad," he said as he touched his shoulder.

Father simply blinked both his eyes while nodding. Hinted so he wouldn't have to worry.

After a few minutes of shedding his tears, he looked up at Uncle Pras face with still watery eyes.

"It's okay, son, uncle understand," he whispered and wiped away the remaining tears of Azzura that were still wetting his cheeks, then back to lean the head of the hijab girl on her chest and then buried her chin at the top of her head.

"Dad .." he said with a sigh even as if reluctant to take off his arms.

Homesickness ....

That is what represents all the soul of his body will be the figure of the father who has long died. But now it pays off when he meets again with Mr. Prasetya.

For a moment the silence was again created, which only the sound of Azzura's mouth was heard softly.

After feeling quite calm, then Azzura took off his arms from Uncle Pras.

"So you feel better now?" ask uncle and then smile.

Azzura only nodded then glanced at Yoga who was staring at him.

"I'm sorry .. I'm like a girl who doesn't know herself. Crying and hugging people's husbands" Zu said. "If my uncle's wife sees me hugging her husband like that, maybe I'm directly on the crest and yelled at the actor" he continued.

The atmosphere that was once sad changed and made Yoga and Pras uncle laugh funny.

"Uncle's wife is not like that, son," said the uncle with a smile and embraced him and Yoga at the same time.

"Come, let's sit down first" said the uncle.

They sat together on the same bench. But Azzura was a little curious, there is a relationship what Yoga with uncle Pras. He also felt that Yoga had a face similar to that of the middle-aged handsome man.

What is Yoga, uncle Pras' son? His face also has similarities.

"Azzura, your uncles want to introduce you to your uncle's son" said the uncle as well as opening his voice.

"I mean Uncle, the guy sitting next to that uncle huh?" ask Zu and then look at Yoga.

Uncle knitted his brows then glanced at the two in turn.

"Do you know each other?" uncle asked back.

"Yes, Dad," said Yoga while scratching his non-itchy head with a cry.

"Thank God you know each other. So I can breathe a sigh of relief" said the father then grasped the hands of Yoga and Azzura together. "Do you guys know? I've been wanting to match you both for a long time. Even when Azzura's father was alive," the uncle recalled his friend, then glanced at the son.

Both Azzura and Yoga were quite surprised to hear the middle-aged man.

"So right? The girl you were referring to back then was Azzura?! Stupidly I did not just accept the request of my father at that time," Inner Yoga while bowed.

Mr. Prasetya sighed then took off his hand.

"By the way, how's it going with your mom, son? My uncle had not seen him for a long time. Sorry, if all this time uncle has never stopped by your house. Uncle's time is running out more in the fleet of high-ocean ships" explained the uncle while stroking the head of Azzura.

I don't know why he loved that girl so much. Even his heart always warmed up when he was with her.

"Uncle, at this time the mother is sick even the last six months the mother was admitted to this hospital," explained Zu in a soft voice.

Uncle Pras was quite surprised to hear Azzura's expression. "ill? What pain, son?" cecar uncle.

"Final stage breast cancer. I've had surgery a few times, but I saw that I didn't change" Zu said with tears now falling. "Uncle, I'm afraid that mom will leave me too" she continued, crying again.

"Azzura," said the uncle and then again leaned his head against his chest while stroking his back.

"Dad .." - Yoga then held the shoulder of the father. Instantly his father looked over with a frown.

"Yoga, Zu," said the father. "Have you guys hidden anything from me?" cecar uncle.

Not wanting to hide something to uncle Pras Azzura wiped his tears and took a deep breath to neutralize his feelings before telling everything to uncle Pras.

Again from a distance, Close who had been watching the three seemed to be increasingly making his blood boil. But at the same time make him feel a little pity when he saw his wife who had been crying since.

Finally he chose to return to the parking lot and decided to wait for his wife in the car.

"Who is that middle-aged man? Azzura even seemed comfortable with her and did not refuse when hugged by her. Yoga, it looks ordinary. Does Yoga know that Azzura is in a special relationship with the middle-aged man?" muttered Close guessed with bitter feelings.

Back to Azzura, Yoga and pak Prasetya.

"Uncle, all the costs of surgery and maternal care are borne by my in-laws" said Zu.

"Certua? When did you get married? Don't joke about you, son," uncle's lick as if in disbelief.

"Azzura's right, Dad," timpal Yoga lowered his head. "Actually the father got his invitation, but the father and mother at that time there was a meeting with officials from the TNI unit outside the city" explained Yoga.

Uncle Pras just nodded his head but there was still something stuck in his heart.

"Uncle," said Zu then grasped the hand of uncle Pras. "I got married because I had to. I was confused and did not know who to ask for help. I finally tried to borrow money from Momy Lio" Zu said.

"Then?"

"Momy Lio even offered me to marry her son at that time. Because I was desperate and had no other choice, I finally agreed to it" Zu honestly explained.

For a moment uncle Pras flinching then a second later he glanced at the son.

"Isn't that momy Lio, momy from your boss, Yoga?" search the father.

"Yes, Dad," replied yoga in a soft tone.

"Does that mean you're the son-in-law of the Kheil Brandon family?" pras' uncle asked and turned his eyes to Azzura.

Azzura could only nod while crying..

"Are you happily married to Close?" uncle Pras again.

Azzura shook his head. "Uncle, there is no forced marriage that makes a person happy. There is only inner suffering," said Zu while crying.

"Yoga, now I understand everything. Can you explain what makes you so angry at Close? Not even reluctant to threaten him earlier," investigate the father who wanted to hear the explanation of his youngest son.

"Yes ... Close often does KDRT on Azzura even it's been going on since the beginning of their marriage until now" explained Yoga with a vibrating voice. "Worse, it had an impact on the psychic Azzura. If you hadn't asked for help from me to give her counseling guidance, I wouldn't have known if Azzura had been experiencing KDRT from that bastard man, either," clearly Yoga again with a furious feeling mixed with anger.

Hearing the expression from his son, instantly made the blood of Mr. Prasetya as if boiling.

He shook his head and hugged the girl who was crying so much.

"Dad, please keep all this a secret to Azzura's mother. Forgive us both for lying if I was Azzura's husband" said Yoga, embracing her shoulder. "At that time, Close had never visited her in-laws at all. So that I took the initiative to visit mother, but her mother Azzura immediately thought that I was her husband," concluded Yoga then wiped her tears.

Dad just nodded. "Well, I'll keep this a secret from Isma's mother" said the father. "Azzura, Yoga, calm yourself first. After that, invite father to meet with Isma's mother," he said with teary eyes.

"Azzura, why didn't you call uncle back then?"

"It's not that I don't want Uncle, but my old phone is gone. So all the important people's contacts are gone. Now I'm using another card?" obviously Zu.

"It's okay, uncle will ask for your number. We'd better go see your mother now, "uncle Pras.
