The Crack of a Glass

Chapter 64: Do not hate but pray ...

In the afternoon at Arinata Hospital ...

Yoga was seen walking through the ward of the mental hospital, until his steps stopped in front of the door of the Daffa room which was none other than his cousin.

After knocking on the door, he opened it and greeted Daffa.

"Sister Daffa?! Is my sister busy?"

Yoga approached her and sat down at her desk staring at her cousin, who was reading.

"No, I'm just studying the case of Mr. Kheil's son, Close. Isn't he your boss?!" sahut Daffa then put the sheet of paper on his desk.

Yoga was quite surprised to hear the expression Daffa just now. He did not answer but asked back.

"What actually happened to him? He's not my boss anymore, because I've resigned from his office. Now I focus on working at the mother's hospital" he explained.

Daffa nodded and told him all the problems that caused Close to be admitted to the mental hospital.

"What?!!!" Yoga was surprised. A second later he smiled sinisterly as if he was satisfied. To make the cousin frowned in wonder.

"Why?" ask Daffa.

"I think that's the karma that must be paid for by him. Even if it is necessary to let him forever go crazy" chirped Yoga with a furious feeling and then smiled cynically.

"Astaghfirullah ... Yoga, your istighfar. As evil and as bad as a person, there must be a good side. And vice versa," Daffa with breath.

"Don't hate him but pray for him to be a much better person and to correct all his mistakes" Daffa continued.

"But he's been absolutely outrageous, sister," said Lirih Yoga. Her tears suddenly escaped from remembering Azzura.

Daffa let out a sigh of understanding with his cousin's feelings. Because a week ago he told me everything about Azzura.

"Yoga, our job as psychologists is to restore confidence and heal people like Close."

"Whatever it is forgive him, God willing and rest assured Close will definitely change" concluded Daffa.

Hearing the advice of his older cousin, Yoga just nodded. After that, Daffa took her to the special room where Close was at the moment.

More precisely, the room that Kiya had just left after undergoing treatment at the hospital was due to severe depression.

Shortly after entering the nursery, Yoga was very surprised to find Close's condition was very messy, careless and unmanageable.

The man he had known so much to maintain his appearance and always looked neat, now changed one hundred and eighty degrees.

"Close," he called and approached his ex-boss.

A sense of pity instantly enveloped him. His instincts as a psychologist as if called to want to cure ex Azzura's husband.

The call from Yoga, as if not Close ignored, even his eyes blank. All I hear is the phrase 'FORGIVE ME AZZURA. GIVE ME A CHANCE. I'LL BE A GOOD MAN TO YOU.' It continued like that while hugging her legs.

"Close," call Yoga again, patting her on the shoulder. But again Close remained unmoved even as if he cared for his ears. Yoga feels pity. Moreover, the sentence is constantly repeated.

On the other hand Yoga feels kasian. But when remembering his vile deeds to Azzura, he was very angry, hated and wanted to make it worse. But he couldn't have done it.

Unable to see the condition of Close which is very much different at this time, Yoga turned to look at Daffa with teary eyes.

"Sir .. do your best, heal him," he whispered as he held Daffa's shoulder in a choked voice.

She did not expect if Azzura's decision to leave this city and choose to separate from Close, impacting to make the ex-husband's psyche was slumped to depression.

Yoga accelerated his steps towards the rooftop that was not far from the nursery. Shortly after being in that place, he immediately sat down on one of the benches.

Instantly he cried as he imagined the faces of Azzura and the deceased mother Isma.

"Azzura," he said the girl's name with a sigh. "Where are you really?"

"Do you know I miss you so much?If you were to see the current condition of that jerk, you would be surprised."

A second later Yoga closed his eyes, turned his face up, took a deep breath, calming his troubled feelings.

"O Allah, please meet me with Azzura. I love that girl and really want to make her my halal lover of the afterlife" she said softly and slowly opened her eyes.

Azzura who was busy checking the duties of her protege, suddenly stopped her activities for a moment because she felt her chest suddenly felt tight.

He immediately got out of his seat and went to the kitchen to sip water. After sipping water, he returned to the room and laid his body on the bed.

"Yoga," he said as his fingers touched the necklace given by the man, which is now still coiled around the neck of the fence. "Is he okay? Why do I suddenly miss him?"

Tok ... tok ...

I heard the door of his house knock.

"Assalamu'alaikum" said someone.

"Waa'laikumsalam .. "the answer. "Who is it?" Azzura then grabbed the picture and put it on. After that, he stepped out and opened the door.

"Nina?! Come on in," he asked with a smile. "You should have time to rest. It's still working. What if something happened to the grandpa," he scolded while holding the pregnant woman's arm to his room.

Nina, who is Azzura's neighbor and the owner of a pastry shop, is a widow. After marriage and pregnancy, she was abandoned by her husband just because of the smitten of another woman.

Azzura's presence calmed her down a little because she felt there was a place for her to share and moan.

Nina simply chuckled at the scolding from Azzura while stroking her distended stomach.

"Partially if I just stay home bored, Zu," said Nina.

"Yes, then after teaching, I just stopped by your shop and helped you there," Zu bargained.

"But Zu ..."

"There's no but-but. Let me help you, ", Zu said.

Nina looked at him then clasped her fingers.

A moment's silence ....

"Zu .." He broke the silence in the room.

"What's wrong? Why is your face suddenly so sad?" ask Zu.

"It's okay. Zu's. Zu ... If anything happens to me during childbirth later, I leave my baby to you? Don't let anyone take it, including that jerk and his family. I'm not willing," Nina's message in a choked voice.

"What are you talking about?! Nothing will happen to you. Believe me everything will be fine including this grandpa," Zu said as he stroked Nina's stomach.

Deep in the corner of his heart felt very sorry for Nina. The story of his home failure is almost the same as his.

Instantly he returned to the physical violence that often Close did to him.

"Just you have to be strong, we are both women with almost the same story. Don't be weak even if it hurts. Let's raise and educate the grandpa together even without a father," said Lirih Zu and hugged Nina.

"We will be both mother and father to him" Zu continued with the intention of encouraging Nina not to give up hope.

It's impossible, Zu. Because I can't survive because of my illness. I'm sure you're the right call mom for my son.

Nina muttered bitterly in her heart. There was a glimmer of hope and a ray of light for him due to Azzura's presence.

She felt that I Azzura was the right woman to be the mother of her future baby who is still in her womb.
