The Crack of a Glass

85. A glimmer of hope ...

The night ...

They decided to stay and will be home tomorrow morning. Genta had wanted to take him home but Azzura refused because he felt he was still at home in that place.

Inevitably they obey the will of the girl. After the completion of the congregational prayer, Azzura was still at home sitting on his chest while reciting.

"Mrrt ..." Devan hugged her from behind.

"Darling ..." He slowly pulled the tiny arm of his son to be in front of him. "Come here" he asked Devan to sit on his lap.

With a smile he grabbed his son while patting his ass and stroking his hair.

"What's up, hmm?" ask her gently. But Devan just looked at him with my eyes because he was sleepy. "You want your mom to sing sholawat?"

Devan just nodded slowly and then followed the song sholawat sung by the mother for him.

"Allohumma sholli 'ala sayyidina Muhammadin, tibbil quluubi wa dawaa-iha, wa 'aafiyatil abdaani wa syifa-iha, wa nuuril abshoori wa dliyaa-iha, wa 'ala aalihi wa shahbihi wa sallim."

His voice slowly began to disappear. Maybe because of the exhaustion, since this afternoon he continued to play with his brothers.

"Robbi habli minassholihin." The prayer he recited three times and then dyed the crown of the son with teary eyes.

"My son, even though you were not born from your mother's womb, but the mother's sincere prayers always accompany every trace of your footsteps until you grow up. May you be a righteous, responsible child and have a broad and airy heart."

He continued to look at the handsome face of his son while continuing to stroke his head lovingly.

Without realizing it, Genta and Galuh who had been behind him had been moved to hear the girl's sincere prayer.

"Zu," said Genta. Galuh chose to leave the two of them in the prayer room.

"Mas." He looked slowly and then smiled.

"Bring Dev to my room. You will sleep in that room with Ayya later" he suggested and replied with a nod.

Shortly after being in the room, Azzura immediately laid his son on the bed.

"Surely he's tired of playing" he sizzled. Soon Ayya, Novia and Ganenra entered the room.

"Bundaaa," call the three as they approach him. Without permission, the three of them went straight up to the bed.

The three boys' actions made him laugh funny.

"Bundaaa, we also want to sleep here with Devan's adek" Ganenra said as she put her lips together.

"Can kok. We sleep here together huh," Zu replied as he stroked his head.

"Mother, we'll just stay here. Let father not stay-live us again," continued Ayya who now makes the mother's thigh as a pillow.

"God, baby, it may not be long," Zu replied as he gently stroked the little girl's head.

"We also want Mother" said Novia and Ganenra did not want to lose.

Azzura just smiled as he nodded. A few minutes later, there were no more voices.

After fixing their position, Azzura sat for a while at the side of the bed while staring at their faces.

"Maybe the story would have been different if it was Mas Genta who was my husband. Maybe my son has four like this. Astaghfirullah ... Azzura what are you thinking?" his mind then smiled while shaking his head.

When he was about to step, the tail of his eyes was accidentally directed to a picture frame.

"This is our photo of Dev aqiqah" he whispered, smiling, but feeling sad as he stared at the figure of the late Nina sitting in a wheelchair.

"Milk." He said softly as he continued to look at the face of Devan's late mother. Suddenly tears came straight.

At one of Mr Kheil's hotels, he and his wife were seen resting in the presidential suite.

After arriving in the city, the two decided to stay at his hotel rather than stay in the apartment owned by the son.

"If Gisel were with us, he would be happy" said Mr. Kheil.

Momy Lio just nodded then smiled.

"Daddy thinks so too. Daddy didn't expect him to be the kind of kindergarten teacher in town. Though he was a graduate of the practice," said Mr. Kheil.

The two fell silent with their own thoughts. Until the door is heard on knock.

Lazily, Mr. Kheil stood up and walked to the door and opened it.

It turned out that one of the hotel employees was delivering food. After the food trolley was pushed into the room, the employee bailed back.

"Mom, let's eat first. After that we rest. Tomorrow morning we will meet Azzura during the children's break. If not, go straight to the cake shop. Like Close said," said Mr. Kheil.

Momy Lio simply nodded obediently. Deep in the corner of his heart, he felt like meeting his ex-daughter-in-law immediately.

"Darling, it feels like momy wants to hug you this very second, too," inner momy Lio.

After a long look at the photo, Azzura chose to go down to the first floor and joined Galuh, Nella and Genta. While Mr. Dirgantara and Miss Nadirah were already in the room and chose to sleep early.

"Loh Zu, how did the kids feel about going up to the room?" nella asked shortly after the girl sat down next to her.

He smiled while nodding.

"Yes, but they've been sleeping in the room together, brother," he replied.

Nella sets her sights on Galuh.

"Honey, you better move Novia and Nendra to the room. It's not enough if they all sleep there."

"It's okay, brother. Enough, besides the bed is wide," said Zu and then chuckled.

"The vastness is vast, Zu. Nendra had a nosy sleep, could not be diem. Like a gasy fucking know not." He nodded his head thinking about his son.

"Nella, just take it," said Genta.

Galuh was just a listener for the three of them.

"Well, so when are you planning to get married?" galuh asked while sipping his coffee.

"God willing, a month from now, because there are some things that need to be taken care of, not to mention Azzura who must take the test before officially becoming PIA Ardhya Garini before marriage" explained Genta.

Galuh chuckled then looked at the two in turn.

"Haah, it's very complicated, Bang," ledek Galuh. "Zu, after this, you will be ready to go back and forth from the office because of marriage." He chuckles.

"It's really like that, Mom?" zu asked and looked at her future husband.

"Yes, but not the drag that Galuh said earlier," he explained.

Galuh chuckled again. After that, he invited Nella into the room.

"Bang, Zu, we go first. I'm already sleepy."

Azzura and Genta just nodded. After Galuh and Nella died, Genta sighed.

"Zu, you better get some sleep. Tomorrow let me take you to school."

"Is it not a hassle, Mom?"

"No. Go into the room, "he ordered.

Azzura just nodded then left her in the lounge towards the room. While Genta remained in place.

He leaned back and closed his eyes for a moment.

"Sorry, if you have to bother a little because of marriage. How else, as the future wife of a TNI, inevitably we have to follow the procedure," he murmured.

But there was a glimmer of hope and a happiness that now enveloped him.

"Yes Allah .. Wake up all my business to be his eternal lover."
