The Crack of a Glass

Chapter 5: Close Regret ...

Upon arrival at the J City hospital, Azzura thanked Yoga and told him to go straight home.

After making sure Yoga completely disappeared from his eye view. He also stepped into the VIP room in Ward 3.

Before entering his mother's nursery, Azzura first washed his hands and wore a special shirt that had been sterilized.

While he was in the doorway, he opened the thing slowly.

Knowing that someone was approaching her, Nanda turned her head.

"Zu," hept.

"Sorry, I'm late. When you called, I was still in the hotel ballroom" she said. "Nan, come home, you've been looking after mom. You must be tired. I'll talk to momy so you can take a day off" Zu said in a soft voice.

"But Zu ..."

"It's okay, Nanda. We'll change to take care of mom" cut her off quickly.

"It's okay." Nanda relented. "Oh yeah, Zu, here's a little donation money from our coworkers at the cafe. Although not much, hopefully useful for you and mom," said Nanda while handing the envelope she took out of her bag.

"Thank you, Nanda," he said in a trembling voice and hugged his best friend.

"Together Zu. I'm all good-bye."

Azzura just nodded. After that he approached his mother who was still unconscious.

He pulled the chair near the patient's bed and sat on it. Azzura looked at his mother's pale face and suddenly he sobbed while smothering his mouth with both hands.

"Mother .. forgive me. If you knew I was married on condition, you would be very disappointed in me. Sorry .. everything I do for the sake of mother's recovery." Azzura sat down accompanied by his sobs that sounded bitter.

After feeling satisfied shed his tears, he grasped his mother's hand, looked at the face carefully until he finally felt drowsiness and fell asleep.

Did not feel the day began to darken, Azzura felt his head like it was gently rubbed. Slowly he opened his eyes.

"Mother," she says. "I'm sorry I overslept" he continued in a raspy voice typical of people waking up.

"It's okay, son," said the mother with a smile and then stroked her head fondly.

"Darling, go home and rest, son. I know you must be exhausted" said Ms. Isma.

"No, then ma'am. I still want to be here with mom" said Zu and grabbed a tray of food on the nightstand.

"Come, eat first, ma'am. I bribe ya," he persuaded then began to feed his mother and occasionally prank her. Of course, it made her mother laugh.

"Honey .. You are, still like usilin mother. Your husband won't be lonely with you" she said.

"That's impossible for me and my husband, Mom. He hates me so much." Azzura.

After finishing feeding her mother, Azzura painstakingly rubbed her mother's face with a wet towel and changed her clothes.

When she finished taking care of her mother, she laid her back and went to the bathroom.

A few hours later ...

After the completion of the prayer, shortly after two nurses and a specialist doctor were seen opening the door of the hospital room of Ms. Isma.

"Good night, Miss Azzura, Miss Isma" said the doctor.

"Dok night, Sus, too" Zu said kindly.

"I'm sorry, I checked for a second, Mom," said the doctor who will handle Ms. Isma.

"Yes Doc, please," said Zu.

The doctor began to examine Ms. Isma with help from two nurses. After making sure that Ms. Isma was in fine condition, she glanced at Azzura.

"Miss Azzura, meet my doctor Aida. I'll handle your mother as long as she's in the care here."

"Thank you, Doc," said Zu. "Oh yeah, don't call me Miss Azzura but Zu or Zura, please" he concluded.

Doctor Aida just nodded. After that, he and the nurse left the hospital room.

"What's wrong, ma'am?"

"It's okay, honey. I'm just relieved that you're married. May your marriage be long and happy. At least, if something happens to mom, I'm not worried anymore son. Because there is your husband who will take care of you," explained the mother as she stroked Azzura's cheek fondly.

Instead of being happy to hear meaningful words and prayers from her mother, Azzura felt sad and sad. But his face that always looks calm and a smile that is often painted on his face can cover the sadness on his face.

"Aamiin .. thank you, ma'am. Go to sleep, "pinta Zu grasping her mother's fingers and smiling thinly.

I don't think time has shown at 10:30 p.m. Azzura decided to stay in her mother's nursery. He thought why he returned to the hotel, besides Close would not look for it especially he had asked permission from the arrogant man.

"Ck .. man sucks," he decanted and laid his body on the couch and closed his eyes.

********

While in the hotel room, Close who had been waiting for Azzura again felt annoyed at the girl.

"Where the hell did that barista girl go?!! This hour has not come home yet!!" his gerrick.

He seemed to think and be silent for a moment.

"Cih .. why do I think about it too. Not important," his his hiss then snatched his cell phone that was on top of the bed and then left the hotel room.

Shortly after being in the hotel lobby, he immediately headed to the parking lot where his car was parked.

Wanting to determine if Azzura really went home, he decided to visit Azzura's house.

It did not take long to arrive at the minimalist two-story house, less than fifteen minutes Close was in front of the house.

But his eyebrows immediately intertwined when he found the house dark and locked. Even Azzura's motorbike was not parked in front of his house. His emotions instantly rose his crown with clenched hands.

"Damn!!! Where is she?!! How dare he lie to me. Just watch out for you later," he growled and then grinned meaningfully.

With a feeling of exasperation, he returned to drive his vehicle towards the lover's apartment.

Upon his arrival at Laura's unit, he quickly pressed the password and opened the door.

His presence certainly makes Laura happy not to be a bitch. The girl immediately hugged him then kissed his lips greedily.

As usual, the two will have a forbidden relationship, wrestling hot on the loveseat bed without thinking about the status of Close who is now Azzura's husband.

With passion and passion so passionate, Close immediately carried Laura into the room.

I don't know since when the two are now innocent. Instead of making love on first night with Azzura, Close vented his passion on the lover.

And for the umpteenth time they made love in that room. But tonight, Laura feels Close is doing it rudely and tends to rush as she vents all her frustration at him.

Laura is also increasingly astonished by the attitude of the lover, usually if he had finished making love with Close, the man will give her a kiss and then hug her. But tonight, he did not do it but directly lay his body on his stomach and chose to close his eyes.

"Darling ..."

"Hm ..."

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, I'm just tired. Go to sleep" he asked in a low voice, but his mind still drifted away thinking about his wife.

Laura just complied. "Hug me, honey," asked Laura but Close did not respond.

Once again Laura frowned and lay down in disappointment.

"Damn!! Does this have anything to do with that barista girl?! Just watch out for you! I'll make sure your life won't calm down because it took Close away from me."

That expression of course he could say in his heart with a furious and hateful feeling to Azzura.
