The Crack of a Glass
Chapter 66: Where are you ...?



Seeing Azzura's confused face, Nina and Genta immediately chuckled.


"Zu, don't be so dumb," said Nina. "Me and Genta know each other. He's my best friend" explained Nina.


Instantly Azzura knitted her brows staring at the two in turn. After that he brought his face closer to Nina's ear and whispered,


"Looks like you guys fit in," Zu teased and then chuckled and looked down at Ayya who had been holding her hand.


Realizing that Ayya had been neglected, he carried the boy in a cringe.


"I'm sorry .. you forgot you were here with your mom" she whispered.


Ayya just smiled while playing her hijab brooch.


While Nina, flicking her lips looked at Azzura and felt anxious with the girl's words just now.


"Mas, you guys sit down for a second huh," Pinta Zu then looked at Ayya. "Darling, you're the same dad you used to be" Zu said. "Oh yes, Mas. Want to eat or drink something? Let me make you guys," Zu bargained with a smile.


"May deh, coffee only," said Genta with prayer.


After that Azzura sat Ayya beside him and headed towards the barista table. While in that place, again he remembered momy Lio, Yoga and Nanda.


There was a deep longing for the three figures. His eyes suddenly glazed over in memory of the three. But he quickly dismissed his feelings that suddenly became melow.


While at the table where Genta, Nina and Ayya were at, the three of them seemed to be chatting casually. But occasionally Genta stole a glance towards Azzura.


"Nin, what about your fetal development?" ask Genta. "Did that jerk never tell you?" geram Genta's.


Nina sighed harshly then looked at Genta and Ayya. He smiled smirk. He, Genta and Azzura both have the same thing: failing to maintain a household for different reasons.


"Genta .. I don't expect that jerk anymore. My heart is closed" said Nina. "Alhamdulillah ..my baby is healthy and well developed," he continued.


"Thank God .." said Genta looking at his best friend's pity.


A second later he commented a smile on Ayya and then held her tiny fingers.


"Ayya, later if aunty gives birth to want to be her brother Dedek," said Nina.


"Mau Aunt. Ayya is happy if Ayya has a grandpa," she replied innocently.


Nina glanced at Azzura who was putting a glass on the tray and then looked back at Genta with teary eyes.


"Genta, as you know, I have a chronic kidney and it doesn't rule out the possibility that if I give birth it will be very risky" said Nina.


"Then ..."


"If anything happens to me, I'll leave my son to you both" she said, wiping away her tears.


"You mean both?" The clapper frowned and was a little confused.


"I mean you and Azzura" Nina continued.


Genta. Soon Azzura approached the three and presented Ayya's favorite coffee and iced chocolate in front of her with snacks.


"Let's have a cup of coffee, please" Zu bargained and sat down next to Nina. "What the hell is it?! How do you look so sad?" cecar Zu because he saw the look on Nina's sad face.


Nina just shook her head while grasping Azzura's fingers and then commented on the smile.

The Prasetya Hospital 2 ...


"Yoga ..."


A person's voice resuscitated him from his long daydream. He also turned his eyes towards the source of the sound.


"Radit," his his hiss then straightened his back.


"What's wrong? Lately I've noticed you always look pensive?" cecar Radit then sat opposite him.


"That's it .. I'm not excited," she replied, then moved from her seat.


He went to his window and put his hands in his pants pocket. His mind drifted back to think of Azzura.


It's been over a month, but why hasn't the phone been active? What if something happens to her? I should how?What if I never see him again?


That question now filled his mind. He rubbed his chest which now felt tight.


Azzura ... Where are you?


Seeing Yoga which is now just budding and back pensive, Radit came back to him and embraced his shoulder.


"I know what you're thinking" Radit said. "Azzura right? If I may suggest trying to find the info on the internet," Radit suggested.


Radit again stroked his back. He understood the true feelings of his best friend. A complicated relationship according to him.


Haahhhh .. Love is complicated. He also did not express his feelings from the beginning. Although Azzura was still Close's wife. Haishhh .. think what the hell are you Radit? It is the same as Yoga labeled PEBINOR.


Radit muttered long in his heart as he glanced at Yoga who still looked dreamy. A second later he patted his best friend on the shoulder.


"Yoga, we'd better go to the cafe" he said.


Yoga immediately glanced at him then revealed a thin smile. Ever since Radit knew Nanda, his best friend has been chasing him.


"Say you want to meet Nanda," ledek Yoga then chuckled.


"You know how else. Instead of thinking about Azzura, mending we entertain ourselves to the cafe," Radit replied as he patted Yoga's shoulder and chuckled.


Yoga just shook his head with the behavior of his best friend.


"Basar Radit" he his hissed and caught up with him.

While in Nina Cookies, Azzura, Nina and Genta still seem to have a small chat, until Ayya finally invited her father home.


"Dad, Mother .. go home yuk."


"Alright," said Genta while rubbing the princess's head just the wayangnya.


"Come on, you go ahead" Zu bargained.


Ayya shook her head in reluctance and automatically made Azzura's brows in astonishment.


"Loh why? He said he wanted to go home" Zu continued.


"The return is the same Mother," he said with a clear face.


"Zu," Nina said as she stroked her arm. "It's okay. You'd better go home together" said Nina. "Mumpung Mas handsome has not yet departed the task," he whispered with the intention of teasing Azzura and then chuckled.


"Ishhh, what the hell are you?!" reply Zu then glanced at Genta a glance then looked back at him then chuckled.


"Bundaaa .. ayoooo," whine Ayya.


"Before a minute, dear," Zu pinta and answered with a nod of his head. "Nin, I'll go home first. Remember ... don't move too much. If you need anything, ask your employees for help, "he said in a message warning Nina.


Again Nina chuckled at Azzura's words that seemed so worried about her.


After that, Azzura and Genta finally say goodbye and leave Nina's cake shop. Shortly after being in the car, he returned to hold Ayya.


"Mother, may you please take Ayya for a while at home. We can play with father and oma" she asked, leaning her head against Azzura's chest.


With a smile Azzura nodded. He remained patient at the request of the beautiful boy.


"Zura .. sorry if ..."


"Nothing, Mas," said Zu as well as cut off Genta's speech. He smiled as he continued to rub his daughter's head.


Along the way to his residence, he occasionally glanced at Azzura who was patiently holding his daughter while continuing to stroke her hair.


Perhaps because of feeling comfortable, the little boy finally fell asleep.


"Zura," said Genta.


"Yes," he said in a soft voice as usual.


"Tomorrow is a Saturday and a school holiday. Don't you have any plans to go anywhere?" genta asked a little doubtfully.


"No Mas, I usually help Nina at the cake shop" Zu explained with a smile. "Oh yes, Mas. I'm asking permission this Sunday, can Ayya come to my house. You see, I promised to invite him to play cooking" he said while chuckling. "I mean really cooking," he continued.


Genta smiled hearing Azzura's words which were accompanied by his chortle. He glanced back at the hijab girl.


"If you don't mind, can I join you?" he asked and hesitated a little in case his request was rejected.


"Could, Mas," Zu replied accompanied by a nod of his head.


Gaining permission from Azzura, the corner of his lips instantly formed a perfect arch.


His heart warmed again. As if he did not want to waste the opportunity before returning to duty, he wanted to enjoy his time with his daughter and the hijab girl.
